Global Social Witnessing of World-Wide Uncertainty

Sunday, October 1, 2023

The event recording will be posted here soon.

9am Los Angeles / 12pm New York / 6pm Berlin

The event will last for 90 minutes and the recording will be available on this page afterward.

WATCH THE RECORDING OF THE LIVE Opening Event

With Thomas Hübl, Kosha Joubert, and Kim Rosen

There are many aspects in our world today that lead us to feel new depths of individual and global uncertainty: the climate crisis, wars, and refugee crises just to name a few. In the face of rising pressures, we often feel overwhelmed and turn away from reality. Not knowing how to address the burning conflicts in our world leads to numbness and indifference. We feel increasing tensions as the biosphere is continuously stressed.

Yet we can come together in a collective holding space and apply the practice of Global Social Witnessing, exploring the human capacity to mindfully attend to global events with an embodied awareness.

In this free event, Thomas will introduce the practice and how to engage in participatory listening in an online community. We will more deeply access a felt sense of responsiveness and connection with these challenging topics of global uncertainty and what it brings up for us to feel individually and collectively. Thomas will guide a brief contemplative journey, and invite sharing in order to more deeply witness our interconnectedness. The event will include recorded music from Jami Sieber, and a live poetry reading from Kim Rosen.

To learn more about Global Social Witnessing, visit this Pocket Project webpage and watch a previous talk from Thomas.

You will be able to join the LIVE event on Zoom or YouTube livestream. The access information will be posted here on Sept. 30, the day before the event.

A brief contemplative journey delivered us to wider sharing in the group and feeling our interconnectedness. The event concluded with recorded music from Jami Sieber and a live poetry reading from Kim Rosen.
