Hei Atteqa!

Chris Corrigan's book on facilitation "The Tao of Holding Space" may be found at

(if that's the quote you are talking about -- 'non-doing' & 'holding space' -- I
put it again below so you don't mistake Chris' words for mine!)

Of course the rest of the email is my voice, use whatever you like...


cheers,

"Non-doing defines doing. Sitting in stillness invites people to move. Getting
out of the way allows people to fill space with their passion. Letting go of
expectations leaves room for responsibility to come forth. All of this is
integrity. Every piece of doing requires the strong presence of non-doing to
anchor it.

Stifling every impulse to intervene, to give directions and orders leaves space
for others to design their lives. You can create a container and then stand by
and watch it fill and teem with life. You don’t resist the natural movements of
groups of people co-creating their futures. Instead you work on your own
inability to be still, to want to own the outcomes, to want to invest your ego.

This is not your show. You are holding space, embodying space and being empty
and full at the same time. If they thank you in the closing circle, you have not
done enough." — The Tao of Holding Space, Chris Corrigan
