About this listen

Holding space is the practice of compassionately witnessing, accepting, and supporting someone without judgement, while retaining your boundaries and sense of self.

The ability to “hold space” for yourself and for others has never been more urgent. Faced with global issues of climate change, political unrest, violence, and economic crises, more citizens of the world are experiencing disconnection, grief, and a deep sense of loneliness than at any other time.

But, with the right tools, you and your circle can become part of the solution. In this profound book, facilitator and speaker Heather Plett empowers you with constructive, actionable practices for transforming conflict, building boundaries, and increasing sovereignty in your own life - and the lives of those closest to you.

You’ll learn:

  • How to create a non-judgmental space for yourself and others
  • How to build trust and autonomy
  • How to create and refine your circle of trust
  • How to move through trauma
  • How to reawaken your authentic identity
  • How to work through conflict
  • How to create “brave spaces” that allow for free expression

When we hold space for other people, we open our hearts, offer unconditional support, and let go of judgement and control. We show we are willing to walk alongside another person in whatever journey they’re on without making them feel inadequate, needing to change them, or trying to impact the outcome.

By holding space, you create a container for liberation to occur in your life and in society. The Art of Holding Space is an instrument for hope, transition, and positive change in our time of near-constant transition, as we yearn to emerge into a new story.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A beautiful and profound book, and not just for space holders. For anyone who has an interest in relationships and how to hold space for friends and family.
This book highly resonated with me and some of Heather’s journey highly mirrored parts of my own life. As a space holder for Breathwork, I found the writings helpful and thought provoking. Thank you Heather.
