The question of who a space is really for stayed with me. I’ve felt how much the way we open and hold gatherings quietly answers that before anything else happens. I appreciate how you frame facilitation as a living practice — about tending culture and sharing power, not just managing space. That invitation to practice the futures we long for feels essential right now.
Hi Crystal — thanks for response and I will definitely keep an eye out for your next workshop.
I tend to hold space for people in transition, especially queer folks, including a lot of Asian and immigrant folks, where cultural expectation and identity are very much part of the who, not just the what. That often looks like navigating caregiving, health shifts, or re-patterning relationships with alcohol and ambition.
I’m less interested in fixing and more interested in creating enough safety for honesty and self-trust to emerge. A lot of my work ends up being about offering language or frameworks — a kind of blueprint — for people who were never really given one around wellness, wealth, or expansion.
So that question of who a space is really for keeps guiding everything I do. I really appreciate you naming it so clearly.
Thank you, we think cultural specificity is important. Thinking about the who, is just as important as the what. We will be doing this workshop again in February. Keep an eye on this space. Just curious, who do you gather/ hold space for?
So glad you found this to be helpful. We host quarterly facilitation workshops online. Next one coming up is Feb 21. And stay tuned! We have more coming up soon too.
