Sometimes this work of holding space is exhausting, overwhelming, and discouraging. We understand that, and that’s why we’ve created these little gifts for you, to encourage and support you and to remind you that you are not alone. Each of the following videos is a mini-workshop on one of the concepts we teach at the Centre for Holding Space.

While they each target different groups of people who may hold space in different ways (health care workers, teachers, parents, leaders, therapists, coaches, activists, learners, and church leaders), they all include teachings that anyone who holds space will benefit from.

Watch one or watch them all. Share them with your colleagues and friends. Use them to start conversations at your staff meetings or community circles. Pass them around as love letters to let others who hold space know you’re with them in these challenging complex times. If these workshops inspire you and you want to deepen your understanding, we encourage you to register for the Holding Space Foundation Program.

NOTE: All videos have sub-titles. To turn them on, click on the “CC” icon on the bottom right of the video.

NOTE: We’ll be adding new Love Letters in the future, so check back here for updates. If you’d like to request one for a particular group, let us know.
