A 2-Day Certificate of Completion Program

FREE INTRO Oct. 22: Sign up for the online Free Intro on October 22, at 7:00PM Eastern, to learn more about to this certificate program.

Holding Space teaches a practical way to organize your life energy system to tap into the potency of the natural energy of the world we live in for healing and the optimization of your intentions around all aspects of life. The process of holding space or time is fundamentally a contemplation that we can learn by using the principles of polarity therapy. We will be using a conscious, co-creative, and contemplative approach to tap the universal principles in order to bring about the energetic balance we seek. 

In many cases, this form of contemplation alone can bring us into true balance during a healing process. More than a technique, the Holding Space Method™ offers a practice that can empower you to bring resources and strength to the energetic, digestive processes experienced in physical living. This course integrates the tools of the Holding Space Method™ and how to establish distance or remote healing that is understandable and effective.

Day 1 (In-Person): Sunday, November 1, 10AM-5PM

Join us for the beginning of a two-part journey into the art and practice of Holding Space.

Every transformation begins with learning how to create the conditions for life to organize itself.

In this foundational workshop, you will learn the core principles of Holding Space—how to cultivate presence, organize your energy, and develop a more coherent relationship with yourself, others, and the natural world.

Together we will explore:

• The foundations of Holding Space as a way of living/life.
• How attention, awareness, and presence influence our experience.
• Principles for organizing energy and creating greater coherence.
• Practices that deepen our relationship with the natural world.
• An exploration of quantum and biophysical perspectives as they relate to health, vitality, and human potential.
• Practical tools you can begin using immediately in your daily life.

Whether you are a healthcare practitioner, therapist, coach, educator, or simply someone seeking a more grounded and connected way of living, this program offers a practical foundation for understanding the principles that support greater balance, resilience, and well-being.

This first day lays the groundwork for Part Two, where we move beyond the fundamentals into the deeper experience and application of Holding Space in healing, relationship, and community. Come discover a new center—from which life, health, and relationship can naturally unfold.

Day 2 (Online): Thursday, December 17, 2026, 10AM-4PM

Holding Space at a Distance (Distance Healing)

In Part 2 of the workshop in December, students will begin practice with the tools learned in Part 1 which will be reviewed in full and enhanced with more information. We will also learn the hands-on techniques of the Holding Space Method™ that are drawn from Craniosacral, Polarity, and Pranic healing therapies.

Once you have established the foundations of Holding Space, the second day explores how these same principles can be applied across distance.

You will learn a structured approach to working with friends, family, and clients from wherever they are in the world. Through guided demonstrations and supervised practice, you will develop the skills to create a coherent field of presence, deepen intuitive awareness, and facilitate meaningful sessions remotely.

Together we will explore:

• The principles of distance Holding Space
• Preparing yourself and creating a coherent relational field
• Developing perceptual awareness and deep listening
• Working with intention, presence, and relationship across distance
• Practical methods for supporting friends, family, and clients through guided distance sessions
• Ethical considerations and best practices for remote work

By the end of the program, you will have experienced both giving and receiving distance sessions and will leave with practical tools to continue developing this work in your personal life or professional practice.

Discover that presence is not limited by location. When relationship becomes the foundation, meaningful connection can emerge across any distance.

Note: You can enroll into both parts at a combined price, or you can enroll into each part individually. Certificate of Completion will be offered upon completion of both Part 1 (Day 1) & Part 2 (Day 2).
