Holding Spaces for Courage, Love, Listening. In early 2015, we asked the 10,000 plus participants in a global U.Lab (an MIT-sponsored MOOC), what it would take to realize their "highest future possibility." What would it take to bring it into reality "as it desires" (Martin Buber)? Their resounding answer was simple and clear: courage! Then we asked them what support they would need from others in order to actually make it happen, to make it work. Again their answers very clear: love, listening, and trust! These responses from a multi-cultural community of change makers are similar to the responses we've heard from others. Profound shifts in small groups tend to happen when the two following conditions are in place: (1) individual courage and vulnerability, and (2) a holding space of deep listening with unconditional love.

This quote is from the article I have linked to. Otto Sharmer is doing great work, helping human understand how we create collective fields with the capacity to undergo leaps and great shifts.
Love, listening and trust are essential to creating wonderful fields grounded in courage, vulnerability, the great strength comes in vulnerability, deep listening and unconditional love.
The article linked to is well worth a read.
