S1E8 Healing is Our Humanity I A Reflection with Heather and Krista
<p><em>In this episode, Heather and Krista reflected on the Centre for Holding Space's journey of bringing "holding space" to the world. </em></p> <p>Holding space work speaks to the core of our humanity - our need for being seen, for belonging and for liberation. As fundamental as it is, holding space is not an easy practice. It requires a commitment to both self- and system awareness: the oppression, the trauma, the intersectionality and the interconnectedness that plays into our webs of relationships. </p> <p>Towards the end of the episode, Heather and Krista practice dreaming of a world where each and every person is deeply recognized and seen for their humanity. </p>
