Resilient Spaceholding with Sophia Mindus and Ceri Buckmaster
Do you want to learn some Communication skills that support spaceholding (based on NVC) and Somatic practices to strengthen your resilience?
Do you need support for collaboration to hold projects together, especially when it’s tough?
Would you love to have the courage to transparently acknowledge your facilitation mistakes and be generous with yourself when you do?
Do you need accompaniment so you can approach tension and conflict as part of life and important feedback rather than a complete disaster?
Do you want to learn how to not take things personally?
This is for you if you are already holding space in some form (facilitator, volunteer, event organiser).
Even if you already know some NVC this might support you as we offer reflections on our experiences of holding space with trauma-informed, power aware approaches.
