A RETURN TO THE VILLAGE
HOLDING SPACE WITH GRACE 2026
A Return to the Village
​​
This is a return - to connection, support, and living in community. Because everything starts from this place. Modern life keeps us busy, distracted, and doing life alone. Over time, that disconnects us from our bodies, our clarity, and each other. Isolation keeps us small. Community brings us home.
​
Holding Space with Grace creates immersive gatherings, retreats, and experiences designed to expand awareness, deepen self-understanding, and unlock what’s already within you - so you can live, lead, and choose from a place of truth.​ This isn’t about fixing yourself or escaping your life. It’s about being resourced and supported. Grounded in belonging and nervous system safety. So you can move forward with clarity and joy.
You belong here.
Our Home. Your Sanctuary.
Across 111 acres of stillness and sky, Austinvilla Estate is an ancient sanctuary. Open landscapes, winding nature trails, and quiet pockets of solitude invite you to step out of the pace of everyday life and reconnect with the land, yourself, and the women around you.
​
Here, the body settles and attention widens. Walk the land, sit under open sky, or simply be - immersed in a rich, preserved ecosystem that supports presence and clarity.
This is the home of Holding Space with Grace. Our experiences are held by the land itself - our anchor and co-facilitator - shaping how we move, connect, and reflect together. This is not about escape, but about returning: to awareness, presence, community, and self.
​
Austinvilla Estate exists to support that return, offering an environment where insight emerges, connection deepens, and what’s remembered here continues to guide you long after you leave.​
UPCOMING FEATURED EXPERIENCES
HSWG 2026
International Women's Day Gathering
A Return to the village.
​
This International Women’s Day, we gather wisdom keepers and conscious leaders at Austinvilla Estate to open the conversations we’ve lost in a modern world - the ones that reconnect us to where we’ve come from, ground us in the present, and guide the way forward.
​
Held across 111 acres of stillness and sky, this is a space to slow down, listen deeply, and gather in community - supported by the land, shared dialogue, and collective remembering. More than a celebration, this is a return to self. And a remembering of the path forward we all need.

KIND WORDS
OUR MISSION
We’re here to rebuild the foundations every woman deserves: belonging, nervous system regulation, a clear and grounded identity, and the capacity to lead herself with clarity and joy.
Meet the Founder
Grace Henry-Hicks is the founder of Holding Space with Grace - a modern village for women, created to restore connection, clarity, and conscious leadership in a disconnected world.
​
After years working in high-performance environments, Grace witnessed a pattern she could no longer ignore: systems that reward output over presence, achievement over wellbeing, and constant striving over truth. What was missing wasn’t ambition or capability, but spaces that allow people to slow down, reconnect, and remember who they are beneath the noise.
​
Holding Space with Grace was born from this understanding.​ To help people reconnect with their truth and purpose, Grace creates safe, intentional spaces that invite self-discovery, meaningful inquiry, and a remembering of what already lives within them - through immersive events, retreats, and gatherings.
​
Each experience blends education, embodiment, and community - supporting a return to self that continues to guide how people live and lead long after they leave the land.

Join the Village
Coming soon - a modern village for remembering, reconnection, and staying anchored to what truly matters in a world that often pulls us away from ourselves.
​
Created in partnership with Ivorey, this is the first invitation to join as the Village comes to life - a way to stay close to the conversations, reflections, and gatherings that continue beyond the land.
​
This is the return.
You belong here.
