Holding Space, Not Control:
A New Conversation with Young Men About Power
Author: Ghaith Krayem
Date: June 2025
This article introduces how Reconfiguring Gravity, our signature framework, can help young men understand how power operates before it becomes violence. By shifting the conversation from control to relational space, it offers a practical, respectful way to engage young men in ethical self-awareness without blame, without defensiveness, and without losing sight of gendered harm.
Reconfiguring
Gravity
What if inclusion isn’t about bringing people closer to power but about redefining where the centre is?
Reconfiguring Gravity is a new framework developed by Hikmah Consulting to help leaders, organisations, and communities rethink how power works and how systems can shift ethically, structurally, and strategically.
It’s about more than voice. It’s about the forces that decide whose voice matters and how we build new gravitational centres based on justice, trust, and shared purpose.
We’re launching a national series of pilot workshops to explore the framework in action. If you’re a changemaker, strategist, or community builder who’s ready to lead differently we’d love you to be part of it.
