Webinar: Holding Space in the Unknown
Holding Space in the Unknown
Befriending Darkness, Navigating Change.
Support for Facilitators in Times of Transition.
In a world obsessed with growth—
What happens when things fall apart?
This webinar conversation is for those guiding others through change, crisis, endings, and initiations.
We’ll explore how to hold space when there’s no clear path… and how Indigenous and earth-based traditions teach us to meet the dark with awe and respect — not fear.
🌀 Befriending the night as a decolonial way of being
🌀 Dismemberment as necessary, not a failure
🌀 Ceremonies, rituals, stories + mirroring
🌀 Holding space without fixing
🌀 Land-based connection: medicine walks + walking your question
🌀 Staying grounded while holding powerful spaces
This is not about rushing toward the light.
It’s about learning to stand, feel and sense in the dark.
To find clarity and greater perspective —not through certainty, but through presence.
Join us on August 21 at 5 pm MST for this FREE offering.
