What does it truly mean to hold space?

Can silence carry more truth than words?

What happens when we let go of control and become a channel for something greater?

In this episode of The Spirit of Yoga, host Burkhard is joined by Kevin James in a conversation exploring the profound transformation that can occur when we surrender to sacred silence. Kevin shares the story of his first seven years facilitating circles in complete silence—choosing presence over performance, and authenticity over instruction.

Together, they reflect on the subtle dynamics of holding space, the vulnerability of authentic expression, and the deep listening required in conscious leadership. This conversation touches the essence of spiritual awakening, reminding us that the most powerful guidance often arises when we say less, and feel more.

This is a story about silence, about entrainment, and about the invisible threads that connect us when we meet in truth.
