The Art of Holding Space

The most valuable gift we can give other people is to create an environment in which they feel safe to share their truth.

Whether that truth is joy or sadness, a tale of courage or a tale of fear, an expression of love or of anger. When we create this environment, we give others permission to fully express themselves without filters, masks or trying to mold to expectations.

In this space, we allow others to become who they are.
