Episode 6: How to Hold Space

Description: In this solo episode, Fallon explores what it truly means to hold space — especially within the worlds of dance, aerial, and performance art. Drawing from her own experiences with grief, loss, and creative healing, she offers perspective on presence, compassion, and the magic that happens when we stop trying to fix and start simply being. Released just after Samhain and Día de los Muertos, this episode honors the thin veil between worlds and the importance of supporting one another through the cycles of life, death, and rebirth.⏱ Timestamps & Key Moments1:15 – Announcement: The Flourish Retreat Fallon shares details about the upcoming Flourish Retreat with co-host Leah Grandstaff, a creative gathering designed to nurture artists, witches, and dreamers through ritual and restoration.3:45 – Announcement: ITW Monthly Challenge Group Join the In the Wings Monthly Challenge Group on Facebook — a supportive space for dancers, aerialists, and artists to stay motivated, inspired, and connected.4:55 – The Concept of Holding Space What it means to hold space for others — and why it matters in both art and life.9:21 – The Importance of Nonjudgmental Presence How offering understanding instead of advice can create the most healing kind of connection.12:03 – Audacity Works12:12 – Unbound: A Woman's Guide to Power by Kasia Urbaniak14:05 – The Four Agreements19:24 – Effective Communication in Grief Navigating conversations around loss — what helps, what doesn’t, and how to hold space through words and silence.26:28 – Practical Ways to Hold Space Simple, tangible ways to practice presence — as a friend, an artist, or a witness — and why it’s vital in our creative communities.27:46 – Self-Care and Holding Space for Yourself Turning the lens inward: how to honor your own needs, set energetic boundaries, and give yourself the same grace you offer to others.🌙 Resources & MentionsFlourish Retreat Information co-hosted with Leah Grandstaff Join the ITW Monthly Challenge Group on FacebookUnbound: A Woman's Guide to Power by Kasia UrbaniakAudacity Works Podcast with Rachel StricklandThe Four Agreements by Don Miguel RuizConnect with Fallon📧 [email protected] 🌐 www.inthewingsaerial.com📘 Facebook📸 Instagram🎵 TikTok💖 Support the show on Patreon
