PRESENCE
Deepening our capacity to hold space for ourselves so that we may hold space for the change we wish to see in the world
Can you imagine a world in which the depth of our capacity to hold space for ourselves and others means that we feel safe to express ourselves truly, and co-contribute to the world we long for?
To be a human in these wild times is to be a space holder.
You hold space for your art, your work, your dreams, your desires, your grief and your gratitude.
In your role as coach, mentor, healer, practitioner, guide, parent, care-giver, community gatherer, circle holder, you are a Space Holder.
Holding space is an essential art, craft and skill to practice compassion, exercise courage and cultivate community.
With practice and willingness we can deepen our art, develop our craft and hone our skill.
If you hold space for others, deepening your capacity to hold space for yourself will greatly enhance your capacity to hold safer and inclusive spaces for connection and change.
Over 14-days I will take you on a journey within to deepen your capacity to hold space for yourself so that you can hold safer space for your community, Circles and clients.
If you know that you:
this invitation is for you!
PRESENCE doesn’t offer a checklist of “how to hold space” but a resourcing journey of self-inquiry, scaffolded with integration and embodiment practices.
Join me and immerse yourself in the art, craft and skill of holding space for yourself and learn how to hold safer space for others.
And journey together over 14-days
I am offering this round of PRESENCE for £177
Within a supportive circle of space holders, we gather with curiosity to explore our guiding provocations. Our journey flows like this:

What does it mean to be a space holder during these times?
What are the values and qualities that the space holder represents?
What are the Space Holder Archetypes?
How do we meet the shadow and embody the guardian forms of the Space Holder Archetypes?
Go on a journey to deepen your capacity to hold space for yourself so that you can hold safer space for change.
PRESENCE is a pathway to connecting inwards, uncovering your authenticity, growing into your integrity and expressing yourself wholly as a space holder.
Through intention, willingness, practice and reflection, PRESENCE guides you to (re)learn to trust yourself, to trust the process of holding space and to trust those you hold space for.
We begin Tuesday 5th July
We begin on Tuesday July 5th
Through sitting in Circle I have witnessed the significant disconnection from self, body and story that women have gone through.
Holding Space for ourselves is essential to our sense of connection and belonging.
I have been teaching, guiding and supporting women to deepen their capacity as space holders through circles, retreats and courses since 2016.
I believe in the power of connection, community and humour to provide a path of integrity back to ourselves, and authentic relationship with the more than human world.
Through our journey together, I draw on my former professional experience as a litigation and compliance lawyer, my training and working experience as a Inspired EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) Practitioner, Intuitive Guide, Culinary Nutrition Expert, Circle Holder teacher, and my own journey through PTSD, depression and anxiety, alongside my daily dialogue with chronic pain and navigating peri-menopause, together with my ongoing studies in Celtic myth, tradition and spirituality, stories and storytelling, and my personal nature based practices, to support you on your space holding journey.
As a recovering lawyer now learning the old ways, I am seeking ways to fracture the current systems that uphold oppression and am committed to increasing my capacity to hold diverse, inclusive and safer spaces for those marginalised by those systems.

The course runs for 14 days over three weeks. We begin on the Solstice, Tuesday June 21st and end on Wednesday July 6th. Sundays are left free for integration and reflection. There will be no new content published on Sundays.
The daily modules go live on the course site each day at 11am (BST). We also have two live Circles. Our opening Circle on June 21st and our Closing Circle on July 6th. These are both on Zoom at 11am BST. You do not need to be online at a certain time (except for our two circles which will be recorded if you can't join live) to do this course — you can read/watch everything in your own time.
You will have access to the course content for the lifetime of the course (a minimum of 12-months) so don’t worry about trying to “keep up” if life is busy right now. If you have the capacity to do so, you might wish to log in and complete each day as it is released, alternatively you may wish to take your time and do one session a week or over a longer period.
Yes. We have a community space on Mighty Networks where we can gather for sharing and reflection. Joining the group is completely optional (the course content and resources will only be shared on the course site, so you won't miss any content or resources if you don't want to join Mighty Networks).
