The Art of Holding Space

A Guide for Emerging Grief Practitioners

Holding space asks for honesty, presence, and a willingness to meet life as it is.

This guide offers an introduction to embodied space holding and the foundations of the Mindful Grieving approach, reflecting what Wendy teaches throughout the training.

01

Understand what it means to hold space

Learn how to meet someone emotionally, physically, and spiritually without rushing or reshaping their experience.

02

Learn the difference between fixing and presence

Explore why grief moves through spaciousness, not solutions, and how to stay steady without absorbing someone else’s emotion.

03

Build the foundations of a skilled facilitator

Presence, openness, and compassionate boundaries — these three qualities become your starting point.
