Growing a culture of trauma-informed care
The Pocket Project is a non-profit organization dedicated to growing a culture of trauma-informed care. We develop training, consulting and social impact projects that contribute to the global restoration movement.
"The 'difficulties' that arise in our lives, in our relationships, and in society are in fact wonderful invitations to a treasure hunt: if we follow them, we can arrive at the roots of our being and to where our potential awaits. "
Kosha Joubert, CEO Pocket Project
"Every time trauma is healed, we restore a part of our past and make possible a brighter future for ourselves and succeeding generations. We transform separation, othering, and scarcity into relation, interdependence, and abundance."
Thomas Huebl, Founder Pocket Project
FEATURED

Women, Life & Freedom - A New Vision for the Future of Iran
Global Social Witnessing
On January 30th, we began 2023 with a Global Social Witnessing call led by Mahyar Zaud and Maryam Sabzevari in Toronto, Canada. Now, we want to provide an opportunity to practise Global Social Witnessing to acknowledge the ongoing efforts, courage, and activism of the Iranian people. Internationally, a growing movement on social media shows women and influential speakers affirming their solidarity with the Women of Iran. Standing with the women of Iran means supporting their rights to equality, freedom, and dignity (in English/Farsi).

In the U.S. Gulf Coast, communities are standing up to stop planned fossil fuel mega-projects that threaten to destroy their local environment – while pushing the world closer to climate breakdown.

Research Report
Overcoming Polarisation in Crises
In May 2022, Thomas Hübl offered a Collective Trauma Integration Process in and for Germany. Together with partner institutions, researchers and over 350 citizens, we framed the process with a scientific research project to gain insights into its impact. Our research question was “whether and how a trauma-informed culture can strengthen our capacity for democracy and cohesion in our society”. Now, the research report is ready – and we are delighted to share it with you.

Global Social Witnessing
EUROPEAN PARTNERSHIP PROJECT
Together with Partner Organisations from Greece, Italy, Croatia, Turkey and Germany, the Pocket Project is currently developing a ‘Digital Toolkit for Citizen Presence‘ and a ‘Curriculum for Global Social Witnessing Facilitation’. We intend to cultivate citizen capacity towards a heartful and related response for refugees arriving in Europe from crisis areas around the world.
Embodiment is the foundation for healing. Without embodiment, we have no instrument to receive the world and to ground the energy of anxiety, fear and trauma. Our body is the instrument that allows the energy to return and become fertile soil for the future.
