Holding Space: Finding hope in broken systems 
The system is stressed, and so are we. And yet we’re supposed to be the helpers, the healers, the steadfast still-heres making it work when it’s not working. How do we find hope when the system is broken, and so are our hearts? It starts with holding space for authenticity, where we acknowledge how things really are. From there, and only from there, can we imagine the possibilities for change, for action, and energy to keep going. In this practical, interactive, and earnest talk, speaker and facilitator Kevan Gilbert creates the space for real storytelling and down-to-earth frameworks to help change systems and shift our reality.
