The Heart of Holding Space
Awakening Feminine Leaders
Holding space for the inner path of transformation
We’re living in an extraordinary time of collective transition in our world where life is waking us up to the potential we have to co-create a new future that brings healing and balance to our world.
With ever increasing levels of change and uncertainty around us, much of which we know is a necessary breakdown of unsustainable ‘patriarchal’ structures, we are being ‘triggered’ into past wounding that can revert us to conditioned, reactive patterns of behaviour and disconnect us from our authentic power. Feeling stuck in pain or even numbness, we tend to push past it all with natural coping strategies that may keep us feeling safe but that unwittingly shut down the love and creativity needed to respond to ourselves and to life around us in new constructive ways.
As we face the increasing emotional, mental, physical and spiritual challenges of our time, I believe that life’s invitation is not to simply ‘cope’ or ‘get through’ but to allow the experience to open our hearts to the truth of who we are and transform us from within.
This evolutionary process of ‘awakening’ requires us to consciously dismantle the old patterns of ‘separation’ that are keeping us stuck in a repetition of the
past and discover new ‘life affirming’ ways of relating to ourselves, to one another and to the field of life around us.
I call this ‘the inner path of transformation’.
This collective ‘awakening’ is also, perhaps, life’s deeper call for the re-emergence of feminine wisdom to heal and restore our ‘masculine’ dominated world. Life is inviting us as women to trust our Sacred ground, speak truth (with love) to power and, together, support the profound r-evolution that is unfolding in our world, through each one of us.
Perhaps this is why so many of us are feeling called to ‘hold space’ in our own unique ways for this creative process of healing, awakening and life transformation. Our families, communities, businesses and organisations, need the safe holding ‘containers’ that can support the transformation we are in. AND we need strongly rooted ‘midwives’ to hold the extraordinary process of re-birthing the new way.
Perhaps this is why you’re here. Welcome to The Heart of Holding Space.

Where Can You Apply Your Learning?
Our 3 Core Learning Tracks
HHS is a unique training journey offering multiple ways to apply your learning experience. We focus primarily on developing or deepening your capacity to hold transformative space 1:1 as a coach/mentor for women which provides a core ground of experience which can then be applied to holding transformative space in Circles and groups.
Deepening your understanding and embodiment of The Circle of 8 Agreements as your foundational map, you will learn core principles and practices of holding space and apply them in your leadership according to your personal experience, purpose and vision.
Our 3 Core Learning Tracks:
- Holding Space For YourSelf
- Holding Space In 1:1 Practice
- Holding Space In Circles or Groups

Hold Space For Yourself
Dive deeper on your own inner journey of transformation and grow your capacity to hold space for yourself (supported by receiving the holding of others), as you step into the next expression of your authentic leadership in holding space for others.
Learning how to hold space for your own healing and transformation as you navigate your path as a coach, healer or facilitator, is an essential foundation for growing your capacity to hold others in a deeply healing way. The inner and outer journey are intricately intertwined.
For this reason the HHS journey is underpinned by your own personal journey of healing and awakening where you will:
- Take a journey of deepening self inquiry in relation to your life and work
- Be supported in triads to explore and transform old patterns in you that need attention
- Uncover and write your own story of healing and transformation
You may wish this Holding Self track to be the core learning track for your HHS journey and as a leadership development path for you if you are less called to more typical ways of holding space for others in 1:1 Practice or Circles.
