​Exploring together...

​​​

Holding Space is a 6-session online journey for NVC learners, practitioners, and aspiring space holders. Across immersive sessions, integration periods, and buddy practice, you will explore how to hold space for yourself, others, and groups, and how to co-create more conscious, empathic, and collaborative systems.
This program is experiential: practice presence, empathy, and start building your hosting practice in a supportive international community, deepening your capacity to navigate personal, relational, and systemic challenges with clarity and care.

​​​​

​​​

Is this for you?

​​​

​​​

This is the right fit if you recognise any of these:

• You practice NVC but sometimes lose connection under pressure.

• You want to accompany others without fixing or directing.

• You plan to offer practice groups, workshops, trainings, and want to host from a more grounded place.

• You lead groups, teams, or community processes but want to strengthen safety and depth.

• You want to be more present with inner tension and outer disconnection.

​​​

This journey is for people who already know NVC basics and want to deepen their practice in real life and in relational contexts, moving from technique to presence and from responding to holding processes with care.

Your Guide

 

I’m Mareidi Pibernik, a facilitator, trainer for Nonviolent Communication (NVC) and CNVC certification candidate in the final stage. I’m passionate about facilitating group processes and creating spaces where people can connect, reflect, and co-create. My work explores power, feedback, and relational awareness.

Over the past 10 years, I’ve been studying holding space, and developed my passion for hosting dialogue and designing participatory formats, drawing from Art of Hosting and other facilitative practices that make collaboration engaging and generative. In this program, I combine my international experience in teaching and facilitation,  with creative dialogue formats, structured reflection, and mindful presence.
