SPACE HOLDER +
FIRST AID SUPPORT
HOLD SPACE WITH US IN MIND, BODY, AND SPIRIT
At Wild Roses Festival, our mission is centered around providing a nurturing environment for women to embark on their individual journeys of healing and growth, respecting their autonomy and personal timelines. We firmly believe in the inherent sovereignty of every woman, recognizing that she carries the answers she seeks within herself. Through carefully crafted workshop experiences, we empower women to navigate the depths of their inner selves at their own pace. Our role is to hold space, offering gentle and loving support as attendees chart their unique paths toward self-discovery, empowerment, and transformation.
Our heartfelt commitment is to meet women exactly where they are in their journeys, free from any preconceived agenda for their healing. As space holders, we show up, with compassion and presence to hold space for women who might be requiring additional support. We hold the firm belief that the mere energetic presence of compassion and love can wield a profound healing influence within the collective and beyond.
Space Holders at WRF serve as an extended pillar of support, complementing the assistance provided by facilitators and the team. Offering spaceholding services at Wild Roses is not offering therapy or counselling. A Space Holders role is to ensure that attendees feel genuinely held and supported throughout their journey during our time on the land. As a Space Holder, you hold the philosophy that attendees do not need to be fixed or pathologized, and that your role is to hold space for their process, believing in the innate healing power of each woman while offering support for integration.
In order to bridge the gap between emotional and physical support, we are also welcoming applications for First Aid Support here. Our First Aid team generally consists of nurses, or individuals with First Aid Training. We hope to bridge the gap and create a seamless triage effect between our Space Holders and First Aid team to promote the utmost support to our festival attendees should they require it.
