In this profound book, facilitator and speaker Heather Plett empowers you with constructive, actionable practices for transforming conflict, building boundaries, and increasing sovereignty in your own life-and the lives of those closest to you.Youll learn:- How to create a non-judgmental space for yourself and others- How to build trust and autonomy- How to create and refine your circle of trust- How to move through trauma- How to reawaken your authentic identity- How to work through conflict- How to create brave spaces that allow for free expressionWhen we hold space for other people, we open our hearts, offer unconditional support, and let go of judgement and control. We show we are willing to walk alongside another person in whatever journey theyre on without making them feel inadequate, needing to change them, or trying to impact the outcome.By holding space, you create a container for liberation to occur in your life and in society. The Art of Holding Space is an instrument for hope, transition, and positive change in our time of near-constant transition, as we yearn to emerge into a new story.
