The Heart-Centered Art of Holding Space
TOPIC
In this class, Shawn Moore defines what holding space means, and discusses why it is so vital. Holding space cultivates trust and openness, empowers self-discovery and healing, and promotes emotional regulation and self-discovery. Shawn teaches us about the four Brahmaviharas of loving kindness, compassion, sympathetic joy, and equanimity. Shawn explains how each of the Brahmaviharas relates to holding space and he explores tips through their lens. We LOVED this class! Hope you get a lot from it as well.

Shawn Moore resides at the intersection of leadership and mindfulness. Shawn is a yoga teacher, sound and reiki practitioner, meditation teacher, Yoga Nidra facilitator, and Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach, all focused through a Buddhist lens and 17 years of personal practice. In addition to holding community space through classes, he provides training in leadership and strengths-based development, and workshops in mindfulness, meditation and sound healing.
Shawn has worked in higher education and student affairs for over 10 years, with a particular focus on diverse populations. Reckoning with his own contemplation of burnout, purpose, and alignment, Shawn transitioned out of his role as Associate Dean of Student Life & Leadership at Morehouse College in the fall of 2021 to focus more on mindfulness and stillness-based training programs and workshops.
He has contributed workshops, practices, and educational opportunities for celebrities like Questlove, and various yoga studios and colleges, Yoga International, Omstars, Melanin Moves Project, the Human Rights Campaign, Spotify and Lululemon.
While being a proud dog dad, a hardcore gamer, and lover of all things anime, Shawn also hosts a podcast called The Mindful Rebel® Podcast that creates a platform to continually explore this unique intersection of leadership and mindfulness.
