The future could be kinder to our nervous systems

How can we build a world that’s kinder to our nervous systems?

That’s one of the questions that came up in this conversation. It started with us asking ourselves “What do we choose to focus our energy on as an alternative to predatory capitalism?”

At the Centre for Holding Space, we choose to be stubbornly hopeful about a better future. We choose to pour our energy into building more healthy, beautiful, equitable, and joyful alternatives. We choose to prioritize people over profit. We choose to centre care rather than consumption.

As we mentioned in the video, we have a couple of ongoing programs AND we’re building something new - a gathering space for people who are feeling lost and confused but also stubbornly hopeful. Stay tuned for that announcement! And in the meantime, check out our ongoing programs:

1. Holding Space Foundation Program starts again in October. This is the cornerstone of our work - a program that has supported hundreds of people all over the world in holding space for the complexity of this changing world.

2. Become a Grounded Guide. This is our leadership program, supporting people in their own development so that they can be guides in times of liminality, and disruption. The next module is about knowing yourself and understanding how you’ve been shaped by systems.
