Holding Space

A Facilitation Lab for Depth, Presence, and Play

You are the facilitator. The one who holds the room when things get real.

Maybe you’ve said it yourself:
“I want to grow as a facilitator. But I don’t need more frameworks or tricks. I don’t want to be talked at. I want depth. I want to meet the moment with confidence, curiosity, and care and hold space that truly transforms.” Holding Space is for facilitators looking for connection, reflection, and real practice in community.

That’s the heartbeat of this cohort.

By the end of this journey, you’ll be:

  • More confident and resourced as a facilitator

  • Better equipped to navigate complexity in teams, communities, and systems

  • Inspired, connected, and part of a practitioner community

  • Clearer in how you hold space and more grounded in your presence

  • Ready to take aligned action in the face of uncertainty

This cohort is for:

  • Facilitators, consultants, team leaders, and change-makers

  • People who lead meetings, retreats, trainings, or group work

  • Space-holders who want to feel more grounded, confident, and impactful

  • Anyone using facilitation in service of community, equity, creativity, or growth

You’re not a beginner, you’ve facilitated before.
Now you’re ready to go deeper.
To stretch.
To evolve.
To remember who you are when you’re fully in your power and in service.

The Space

This is not a static curriculum, it’s a living, breathing journey, responsive, and shaped by the people in the room.

Holding Space is rooted in emergent facilitation, learning how to hold space with empathy, presence, and humility. We’ll explore what it means to be adaptive, attuned, and creatively resourced in the face of complexity and change.

The content, the pace, and the depth will be shaped by your needs, your wisdom, and your shared intentions. Because that’s the heart of facilitation: it’s designed. It’s emergent. It’s relational.

Expect a space where you can play, reflect, laugh, experiment, and grow.

I, Jace Malz, will be your lead facilitator and guide, designing and holding the container and learning alongside you.

Themes we may explore include:

  • Who you are as a facilitator

  • Reading the group and naming what’s present

  • Designing for inclusion, depth, and participation

  • Repair, rupture, and group dynamics

  • Balancing structure and emergence

  • Creative tools, metaphor, and play
