The Art of Holding Space

with Integrity, Purpose and Heart

A workshop for those called to guide—and those called to grow inside sacred space.

What This Workshop Is About

Holding space is more than a skill—it’s a way of showing up for others with presence, clarity, and care. This immersive workshop is for anyone who feels called to guide, support, or witness others… and for those who want to understand the deeper ethics and responsibilities behind sacred spaces.

Whether you’re a facilitator, a creative, a caregiver, or simply someone who values being part of intentional, transformative environments, this workshop will give you the tools, language, and frameworks to engage with this work more consciously.

You’ll learn not only how to be in sacred space—but how to support, participate, and eventually hold space with integrity.

*Please note: This workshop is not a training in ceremony facilitation. Rather, it supports individuals in navigating the language, structure, and ethical grounding of their work—especially when engaging with practices rooted in other cultures.

What you’ll learn

✺

The Core Elements of Holding Space
You’ll learn the foundational pillars of space-holding: presence, awareness, and compassion. These qualities form the root system for any meaningful support—whether in facilitation, friendship, or leadership.
✺

How to Hold Emotional and Energetic Safety
We’ll explore how to hold space for dysregulation—emotional, spiritual, or somatic—with steadiness and care. You’ll learn how to stay grounded while supporting others through big feelings or sensitive moments.
✺

Cultural Integrity and Language in Your Work
You’ll receive guidance on how to frame your offerings and language with clarity, cultural awareness, and respect. We’ll discuss the importance of semantics, choosing the right words, and navigating shared wisdom without appropriation.
✺

Tools for Grounding, Protection, and Boundaries
You’ll learn simple but powerful practices for energetic hygiene, grounding, and container setting. These tools support not only your space-holding—but your own nervous system and wellbeing.
✺

Navigating Nuance: Decolonization, Appropriation & Bypass
This workshop gives you a space to ask hard questions and explore the grey areas—around culture, identity, and integrity. We’ll talk about what it means to show up with responsibility, not perfection.
✺

Practical Support for Structuring Your Offerings
You’ll receive tips for planning, naming, and framing your workshops or events in a way that’s aligned and ethical. We’ll cover event flow, timekeeping, clarity of roles, and how to close space with intention.

Ways to Experience This Workshop

In Person Events

We recently held this workshop in Naples, FL with a beautiful circle of seekers, facilitators, and teachers. The feedback was heartfelt—participants felt more grounded, more aware, and more confident in how to move through the world with deeper integrity.

Guest speakers included my husband, who offered tools for energetic protection, and Alyssa, who shared her journey of waking up to the responsibility of holding space.

Why I Teach This

I’ve spent over a decade holding space—in healing sessions, ceremonies, creative gatherings, and community events. What I’ve seen, especially in the wellness and spiritual world, is a troubling pattern: cultural practices being extracted, commodified, and performed out of context—often without training, acknowledgment, or accountability.

This isn’t just about calling out the problems. It’s about offering a path forward.

This work is for those who want to show up differently—for their clients, their communities, and their own healing. It’s for people who value nuance, humility, and responsibility. And it’s for those ready to examine their own practices with compassion, curiosity, and integrity.

This workshop is a reflection of the medicine I use in my own home, with my children, my husband, and for my community.
