COMMUNITY Of Practice

A Space of Relatedness & Shared Learning

Shared learning in community is part of a healthy way of living. Our relations are an essential part of who we are – I am because you are. The Pocket Project is committed to offering opportunities for us to relate and practice our tools and the ‘superpowers’ to meet life more fully together. Our presence, relatedness and compassion are needed to activate the healthy response mechanisms of our global immune system.

Our world is rapidly changing, and we are called to remember and practice skills that help us to navigate complexity with resilience and joy. In these calls, we practice mindfulness, meditation, presence, resourcing, self-care, self-regulation, relating, co-regulation, co-creativity and how to cultivate coherent we-spaces – amongst other important medicines for our time. These calls are a gift from Pocket Project facilitators, welcoming everyone – and also, over time, building a shared we-space of increased synchronisation and resonance.

In 2024, we are bringing to you a continuous journey of Community Calls – together they constitute a ‘Training in basic skills for Presence and Relatedness’.

Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It’s a relationship between equals. Only when we know our darkness well can we be present with the darkness of others. Compassion becomes real when we recognise our shared humanity.

– Pema Chödrön

UNRULY Book Launch

8:00 PM - 9:30 PM (Berlin)

English

UNRULY offers language to articulate the full spectrum of Black women's embodied realities—in all their pain, power, and possibility.In this powerful debut, Antoinette Cooper weaves poetry, memoir, and documentary evidence into an ineffable work of embodied storytelling. UNRULY honors the Black female body as a site of profound resilience and complex histories.With uncompromising honesty and lyrical precision, Cooper explores the intimate experiences of Black women—from historical medical abuses to contemporary health disparities, intergenerational trauma, societal beauty standards, and personal encounters with violence and healing. UNRULY refuses silence by (re)claiming our often unspoken and inviolable voice.This revelatory reading experience, at once deeply personal and universally resonant, offers a nuanced exploration of how past and present intertwine in Black women's bodies. Cooper's genre-defying approach invites us to witness ancestral legacies while envisioning paths to integration and liberation, announcing her as an essential voice in contemporary literature."Unruly powerfully unmasks the scream that resides deep within - a pain that never surfaced - raw and clear, the voice that speaks for centuries of voices in our midst. Antoinette Cooper’s life, fight, and revelation cast into "Poetry of the Edge" is a magnetizing, passionate account of her personal and collective journey." – Thomas Hübl, Co-founder, Pocket ProjectBy joining the book launch, you will:Witness and empower Black women's stories as medicine for personal and collective healing, honoring both ancestral wisdom and contemporary experiences. Experience how embodied storytelling can create new pathways for engaging with historical trauma, offering a unique technology for transparent communication and collective healing. Practice decolonial and generative ways of moving conversations about race and trauma from intellectual understanding into embodied wisdom. Discover tools for befriending wounds that have been subject to erasure, breaking the collective agreement of silence that has kept generations from wholeness. Connect with a community of practitioners committed to transformation, as we explore how UNRULY invites us to stay present with both beauty and brutality through the art of conscious witness.
