Pregnancy Loss Remembrance Day - Healing Yoga & Candlelight Vigil
Pregnancy Loss Remembrance Day - Healing Yoga & Candlelight Vigil
This October, we gather in recognition of Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, a tender space that touches many lives—often quietly and unseen. Whether this is part of your own story, the story of someone you love, or simply a human experience you hold compassion for, you are warmly invited to join us.
With support from SolSpace and Room to Heal—an organization that helps women who’ve experienced loss clear out, store, or donate baby items to support their healing—we will come together in movement, reflection, and community.
✨ Our Practice Together
This class is not about performance, but about presence. We will honor the strength it takes to carry both love and loss, creating space for breath, release, remembrance, and healing. Your mat becomes a refuge, guided by breath and held in compassion, reminding each of us that we are not alone.
🕯 Evening Agenda
6:00–6:15 | Welcome & opening words
6:15–7:00 | Gentle yoga class
7:00–7:10 | Candle lighting ceremony of remembrance
7:10–7:30 | Snacks, tea & community connection
This event is free to attend, and donations for Room to Heal are warmly welcomed. Together, we’ll practice with gentleness, reverence, and gratitude for the resilience of the human spirit.
Falling into Success: Women in Business
Step into an afternoon of connection, inspiration, and growth at Falling into Success: Women in Business. Over rich, aromatic coffee and fresh, indulgent pastries, you’ll get the chance to meet dynamic women entrepreneurs from across our community.
Every attendee will have two minutes to share their elevator pitch and introduce their business to the room. This is your moment to shine, practice telling your story, and spark new collaborations.
No, you won’t be sitting next to your bestie—we’ve got a plan for that! This event is all about getting out of your comfort zone, building fresh connections, and learning from the experiences of other powerful women in business.
Come ready to:
• Network with driven women entrepreneurs
• Share your business in a supportive, high-energy space
• Discover new opportunities and partnerships
• Leave feeling motivated and inspired
Bring your business cards, your confidence, and your curiosity—let’s fall into success together.
Yoga and Activism
Yoga & Activism at Sol Space
In partnership with Indivisible Chicago Northwest
📅 Saturday, August 30 | 5:00–6:30 PM
📍 Sol Space, 5922 W Lawrence Ave, Chicago
We’re excited to announce a special event that combines two powerful forces for change: mindful movement and collective action. In partnership with Indivisible Chicago Northwest, we invite you to join us for Yoga & Activism—an evening that nurtures both your inner well-being and your commitment to making a difference in the world.
The event is FREE and open to everyone, regardless of yoga experience or political background.
Book Here or download the mindbody APP to book this event.
What to Expect
45 minutes of Yoga Flow
Led by one of our experienced instructors, this all-levels class will help you connect with your breath, release tension, and cultivate a sense of grounded clarity. Whether you’re new to yoga or have practiced for years, you’ll feel welcome and supported.
45 minutes of Activism
After class, Indivisible Chicago Northwest will guide us through a meaningful activism activity. Together, we’ll explore practical ways to make our voices heard.
Why Yoga & Activism?
We believe that wellness isn’t just about the body—it’s also about how we engage with the world around us. Yoga teaches us to live with awareness, compassion, and courage. Activism is an extension of that practice, giving us the opportunity to turn those values into action.
By pairing mindful movement with civic engagement, we’re creating a space where community members can gather, recharge, and then channel that renewed energy toward positive change.

When: Saturday, August 30, 5:00–6:30 PM

Parents’ Guide to Better Memories: Smartphone photography and videography
Before we even talk about lighting or camera settings, I want you to pause and remember this: you’re not just taking pictures — you’re preserving memories. The way your child squints when they laugh, the way they concentrate while building with blocks, the way they reach out to hold your hand — these are the moments that matter.
As a professional photographer and a parent myself, I can tell you this: the best images aren’t posed. They’re felt.
