The Power of Silence and Presence

A podcast conversation between Vipul Shaha and Mentor Dida - Facilitating Change Series

April 2025

We talk about what it really means to hold space—from our breath to our presence. We explore:

• Why moments of silence can be the most powerful part of a gathering

• How our inner landscape shapes the way we lead and connect with others

• The role of the body in releasing stuck patterns and opening to change

• How facilitators can tune into the energy of a room—not just the agenda

• And what it takes to design for transformation without crossing into therapy

​I​t was a remind​er for us that transformation doesn't need to be dramatic. It can start with a moment of stillness, a breath, or a walk in nature. If you're holding space for others or looking to reconnect with your own deeper presence, this conversation is for you! 🙂
