THE POWER OF HOLDING SPACE

Every single one of us is a space holder. Every single one of us takes up space.

If there is one thing that we can do in this lifetime that will make a difference, it is to be present in the space that we share together.

Often missed, though blatantly obvious, the core of humanity is the quality of our relationships- from start to end.

When bringing mindfulness into schools became a “thing” a while back, it arrived like it was a fancy new concept…. And yet, it is one of the most fundamental remembering’s that has existed as long as we have walked on Earth.

It is a reminder of how we so often complicate the core of what we all need and what makes us human.

It is the space from where we innately know what is needed and how to respond.

It is the space from where being anything other than who we are, how we are and in our own version of genuine-ness, compassion and empathy is not required. We immediately let the masks fall away and we see one another as we truly are.

And our experience as humans is greatly quantified when we can just be as we are and give those we cross paths with the room to do the same.

To facilitate is to coexist with others in a way that fosters safety, trust, discernment, self-awareness and the opportunity for those in our space to experience acceptance in all that they bring with them.

A hugely underrated and transferable skill that is so much more than listening and having empathy, day 8 of Societe is all about how we raise our awareness and presence while also harnessing our own unique flair, and exploring how to navigate the complexities that can arise here.

I would love to speak more to this and hear from you too, so do reach out.

Love,
