Morven Hamilton, Senior Yoga Teacher & Trainer
“I highly recommend this training for anyone who holds space for others. Julia and Tessa are highly experienced, knowledgable and articulate on the subject of circle holding and they co-facilitate with ease and grace. There was so much value packed into just three hours, it was worth every penny of the investment..”
Claire Mackinnon, Transformational Coach and Facilitator, Writer, Speaker & Educator
“Your training really helped me lean into and trust that if I hold a structure, and the space, then magic will happen. I weaved this into the invitation too, making it clear what people could expect, and who it is for. To me, circle holding feels like such a natural, needed way of gathering together, and my dream is to offer more and more of these spaces as the months and years roll on.
Thanks you for being part of this unfolding!”
