A Workshop in Presence, Empathy & Boundaries

In a world that moves fast and often encourages us to fix, advise, or react, The Art of Beholding offers something different: a chance to slow down and truly connect—with others and with yourself.

This 2 hour workshop explores the simple yet powerful practice of holding space: being fully present with another person in a way that is grounded, compassionate, and non-judgmental—while still maintaining your own emotional boundaries.

Whether you're a professional who supports others, a friend who wants to listen better, or someone who simply craves deeper, more authentic relationships, this session is for you.

You’ll learn how to:

Be present with someone without needing to fix, rescue, or absorb their experience
Offer empathy and compassion while staying centered in yourself
Create emotional safety in conversations and relationships
Reflect on your own needs and inner dialogue with greater kindness
Practice what you learn in real-time through paired and personal exercises

We’ll close the session with a relaxing guided meditation for integration to help settle the nervous system and anchor the experience.

Whether you’re new to the idea of “holding space” or simply looking to reconnect with the basics, this is a valuable and practical opportunity to build deeper connection—with others and within yourself.

Come as you are. Be Held, Be Whole. Behold.
