HELD is a safe space to explore human connection. Through guided exercises, we weave together communication skills, caring touch and practical support that will leave you feeling held. You'll also gain simple tools and practices to bring more of that way of being into your life and relationships. HELD combines elements of authentic relating, somatic healing, consent education, and other tools and methodologies to deliver signature workshops and experiences that enable people to feel seen, heard, and held – and empower them to bring it into their lives and the world.
Aviva Mohilner, a renowned speaker and facilitator, stands at the forefront of the social wellness movement as the founder of HELD. Since 2018, HELD has been creating safer spaces for human connection, addressing the loneliness epidemic, and promoting healthy touch through innovative workshops and events. Aviva's holistic approach integrates elements from a broad spectrum of methodologies, including authentic relating, nonviolent communication, consent training, somatic healing and tantric practices. She is now taking her vision further and developing a certification program that will enable others to facilitate HELD experiences. She believes this work should be accessible to all, and her greater purpose is cultivating a movement that embraces deeper connection, compassion and the healing power of touch.
