Women's Grief Circle
Twelve women. Twelve weeks. Live, together, every Tuesday.
September 15 – December 1, 2026 · Every Tuesday, 7–8:30am Pacific Online via Microsoft Teams · Limited to 12 Women
Grief doesn't always look the way people expect.
Sometimes someone dies and your world splits into before and after.
Other times, nothing "official" happened. But something still ended.
A relationship. A role. A version of yourself you'd spent years becoming. A life you thought you were building, quietly dismantled.
And now you're here; functioning, capable, holding things together well enough that most people assume you're fine.
But inside, something still feels unresolved. Heavy. Like part of the story was never fully witnessed.
This is a space for that.
Not for crisis. Not for closure. For the long, often lonely middle where grief continues to live long after the world has moved on.
This Space Is For You If...
You're grieving the loss of a person, relationship, role, identity, or life chapter
You feel impacted by something others may not recognize as "real" griefYou've been told, directly or indirectly, that you should be over it by now
You're functioning in daily life but feel internally disconnected, heavy, or changed
You don't feel "grief group eligible" but know something still needs tending
You want support that honours emotional depth without pathologizing your experience
You do not need to prove your grief is valid to be here. If something in your life created a before and an after, that is enough.This isn't therapy, and it isn't built for acute crisis. I'm a certified grief educator, not a therapist. If what you're carrying needs more than this circle can hold, I'll help you find the right next step. You are never alone.
What This Program Is
After the Fall™ is a twelve-week grief integration program that combines a clinically grounded self-paced course with weekly live group calls held in a small, intentional container of no more than twelve women.
It is not therapy. It is not a crisis line. It is not a space where you'll be asked to perform healing or arrive somewhere by the end.
It is a structured, compassionate program built on one core belief: grief isn't something you get over. It's something you learn to live with, integrate, and grow around at a pace that respects your humanity.
The program draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), nervous-system–informed practice, and the research of grief scholars including Kenneth Doka, Peter Levine, and Bessel van der Kolk. Every tool, practice, and framework has been designed to build capacity, not push you past it.
How It Works
Your Foundation: The Self-Paced Course
When you join, you get immediate lifetime access to the full After the Fall™ twelve-week course, built around six phases of grief integration: Naming, Navigating, Reframing, Reconnecting, Releasing, and Renewing. Each week includes grounded teaching, ACT-informed practices, somatic exercises, and a personalized Grief Discovery Quiz that shapes which tools fit how you actually process. Two weeks are built-in pauses, not new content, but space for what's already been opened to land. You move at your own pace between calls.
Your Container: The Live Weekly Calls
Every Tuesday, September 15 through December 1, you'll join a live 90-minute integration circle on Microsoft Teams with Chivonne and the other women in your cohort. These aren't lectures. They're a facilitated space to pause, reflect, and be witnessed, guided by that week's course themes. You can speak as much or as little as feels right; quiet presence is welcome. Calls are not recorded. The container works because it's contained: a space where everyone can speak honestly without wondering who might watch later.
Why Twelve Women
This cohort is capped at twelve. it’s not a marketing device. It’s a care decision. Grief work in a group needs trust, and trust needs enough intimacy that Chivonne can know your name and your story, and you can build real connection with the women beside you.

Meet Chivonne
In 2024, Chivonne Monaghan lost three significant men in her life within a single year — a former partner, her father, and her stepfather. Each loss arrived differently. None of them hurt any less.
She had spent over two decades working in personal development, wellness, and trauma-aware facilitation. And grief still undid her.
In trying to find her footing, she did what most of us do: therapy, grief groups, books, podcasts. Each helped her take the next step. And she still needed more. something that held both the clinical rigour she was trained to respect and the warm, honest human presence that no framework alone can provide.
So she built it.
After the Fall™ is the program she needed and couldn't find. It is grounded in ACT, informed by the research of Levine, van der Kolk, and Doka, and shaped by more than twenty years of experience holding group spaces with care and skill.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens after I reach out? I'll follow up personally to schedule a short connect call. This is just a conversation to see if this circle is the right fit for where you're at, before anything else.
What if I have to miss a week? Life happens, and missing an occasional week is fine. Since calls aren't recorded, I'd ask that you commit to attending as many as you realistically can. This only works if the group can count on each other.
Do you offer a payment plan? Yes. 3 monthly payments of $287.

A Final Note
You do not need to have the "right kind" of grief to be here. You do not need to be in crisis, or out of crisis, or at any particular stage of anything.
You need to feel that something still lives in you that hasn't been witnessed yet and a quiet sense that carrying it alone isn't working anymore.
This is a room that will hold what you bring. You are welcome here.
