The overall purpose of Holding Space is to develop and deepen capacity for individuals to create learning experiences for groups.  The primary focus is on course facilitation in the Interpersonal and Group Dynamics Course (IPD) at the Yale School of Management.  The task of the IPD facilitators is to help create the conditions for learning.  Facilitators do not enact this task alone, for there is usually a co-facilitator and group members who share responsibility for this work.  However, facilitators hold a special responsibility for this task. We periodically offer Holding Space to give the facilitator community a chance to deepen skills and practice the art of group facilitation together.  

The next Holding Space Intensive will take place from May 31-June 2, 2024 in New Haven, CT.  If you are interested in joining us for future events, feel free to contact us at ipd@yale.edu.
