When am I ready to hold space for others?
Safety note
If you are in crisis, contact local emergency services or a crisis line now.
Direct answer
Not when you feel called — most people feel called far too early. Readiness looks like: years of consistent personal practice, an ongoing relationship with your own teachers, deep familiarity with your own shadow, humility about what you don't know, and a community that can honestly reflect you back. Facilitation is a lifelong apprenticeship, not a certificate. If the answer to "who is holding me?" is unclear, you are not yet ready to hold others.
