Power of a Safe Presence

Recently I’ve had the experience of observing two young girls come into an unfamiliar group. At first, they were hesitant and reserved. Then, oh, so gradually, they began to interact with the mostly adults around them. Then I saw smiles as they relaxed into the acceptance and grace they experienced.

As I observed this transformation, I committed anew to being a safe presence for others.

You write it: How do you provide a safe presence for others?
