Held From Two Ends is a space, a collaboration and a joint facilitation between Stefan Jovanović and Mahab Kazmi. Together they host family constellation workshops in London (UK), exploring the potential and novelty of distributed forms of facilitation and therapeutic interventions within the realm of ancestral and trans-generational healing.
Mahab Kazmi is a relational body psychotherapist, integrative bodyworker, systemic facilitator and psychedelic integration therapist in private practice and academic research. She has had experiences with expanded states for over 20 years and has been accompanying people therapeutically for 15 years in private practice. Passionate about transgenerational reparation work, building bridges between communities and facilitating difficult conversations, she works creatively with clients to uncover the aliveness behind trauma through befriending different ways of sensing, storytelling and belonging. She trained as a Family Systemic Constellator with the Centre for Systemic Constellations as well as assisted on their Foundation, Applied, Advanced and Couples trainings. She co-facilitates the monthly Online psychedelic Integration circle for the Psychedelic Society, has held dream research labs for university students and was part of the OCD psychedelic research at Imperial College. She has been on the Steering group board for the Bodypsychotherapy Network since 2019. Her therapeutic approach and sensibility are informed by her own mixed cultural heritage, love of movement, a deep appreciation for the healing potential of stories, as well as a decade of artistic practice exploring connection, identity, polarities and initiation.
