019: Bringing Depth into Facilitation and Holding Space
from Under the Bodhi Tree · host Bodhi Samuel
Hey all!So as I'm starting to get a bit deeper into the realm of community building, "holding space", running workshops, yoga classes and facilitating communal events, I've started to come across some really helpful methods for creating a safe and supportive environment. Whether you're a lecturer, workshop facilitator or yoga teacher, this podcast can give you some awesome insights in bringing more potency and depth into your classes. When we start to offer and teach from an authentic space within ourselves, we can have a truly memorable and powerful effect on our students and participants. It's incredible to participate in a workshop or yoga class that changes your life. That's the power we have as facilitators. This podcast shares both practical and philosophical ideas that can help us bring depth and love into the spaces we are holding. Some of these ideas come from Tom Lang's book "great guiding principles" and some are ideas I've learned through observation. Take whatever you like, throw away the rest, but either way, thanks for being open!
