Title: Coaching Towards Cultivating Safe Spaces
Let’s take a coach approach to Cultivating Safe Spaces together. Guided by Elaine Alec’s Cultivating Safe Spaces, we’ll discuss activities, frameworks and skills that support the practices of understanding yourself, responding with love-based practices, and having the patience and discipline to unlearn common approaches to the way we generate unhealthy and unsafe spaces. These conditions support wellness, inclusion, freedom and validation for yourself, and everyone in your circle. Robyn will include wisdom from Gabor Máte, Brene Brown and others, that like Elaine Alec, have spent a lifetime supporting healing and genuine connection.
