Global Social Witnessing of Climate Crisis
Day 5: Sunday, October 2 at 9am Los Angeles / 12pm New York / 6pm Berlin
Find the time in your area
With: Thomas Hübl, Kosha Joubert, and Kim Rosen
The event will last for 90 minutes and will be recorded.
Many people feel overwhelmed and turn away from the reality of our climate crisis. In this live online event, Thomas will guide us through the practice of Global Social Witnessing, the human capacity to mindfully attend to global events with an embodied awareness. After a short talk about the practice and how to engage in participatory listening in an online community, we will use photography as a vehicle to more deeply access a felt sense of responsiveness and connection with this precious planet. 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.

Cambodian Living Arts and the Power of Music to Teach, Unify, and Heal
Arn Chorn-Pond
Musician, Human Rights Activist, and Founder of Cambodian Living Arts
Show More Info + Video Clip ▼Highlights from this session:
- Music as a healing process and medium that allows us to move beyond suffering and into compassion
- How Cambodian Living Arts brought music back to Cambodia after many musicians and artists were killed
- Exploring how music can awaken the knowing that we are essentially good
Born into a family of arts, Arn grew up in Cambodia during the Khmer Rouge regime. Sent to a child labor camp and forced to play propaganda music during that period, he was later adopted by Reverend Peter Pond and moved to Vermont, USA. In the 1990s, he returned to Cambodia to be a part of the movement of rebuilding the country. One of the projects he started was to support master artists who had survived the Khmer Rouge regime to start teaching music in their communities. This small project has grown to become Cambodian Living Arts, which more than 20 years later is one of the leading arts organizations in Cambodia.
“The healing process for us is music. And when we hear new music, we understand our own culture, our own background, our own history, where we came from.” – Arn Chorn-Pond
