Becoming a Bridge in a Polarized World

Learning to Host & Integrate Trauma of Polarization within Ourselves

Lab cycle 2024 - 25 Report

What did we explore in this Lab?

How do we take responsibility and find a healthy relation to stark polarization? We invited those who felt called to be the bridge in the midst of fragmentation. Our global communities have been increasingly under the pressure of highly polarized dynamics. We recognize it in wars around the world, extremism in politics, clash of religious groups, increasing racial tension, divergent approaches to the pandemic, contrasting views on climate change, and so on. Together, we examined the process of gently transforming our inner polarized parts, relating to that in our communities, and beginning to impact our collective fields of influence.

Who was invited to participate?

People from all walks of life who feel called to address polarization in our communities, to explore the process, and build the capacity to stay engaged here, together.

More about the journey of the Lab:

We began our journey with learning who’s in the room and establishing a foundation to work together. Throughout the year we looked at topics that felt alive with our group participants, whilst keeping the emphasis on our process of meeting polarization in a gentle, precise way. We decided to take on 24 participants out of over 90 people interested in the lab. Thus, we started out with 24 participants and completed with 19. We met for 12 group sessions for 2 hours from January to December 2024 (once a month).

Stages of our Progress as a Group

Synchronising & Resourcing
Synchronising & Resourcing

We worked on synchronizing and resourcing our lab in several ways. The beginning sessions were really focused on getting to know each other, having the participants share their motivation and intention for being here (also collected in a google doc), and laying the foundation for some basic practices and principles for how we would do this work together.
Each session we led a meditation practice, did field sensing, and continued to bring the group to the basic principles of this work including the 3 sync practice, triad work, and the importance of finding resources and pendulation while in this process. We shared a document where participants could find triad partners and started a telegram group to support the connection between labs.

Meeting the Collective Trauma Landscape
Meeting the Collective Trauma Landscape

Our theme was Polarization, which is quite a broad theme, so we started by having participants sense what the strongest topic around polarization was for them. We were clear that we wanted the specific topics to emerge from within the group rather than us as facilitators bringing them. We also explored bigger themes around polarization without specific topics, like othering and the dynamic of us and them (session 3), and how polarization took place in different circles of intimacy, starting with their innermost circle of intimacy and moving outwards.

Exploring Individual & Collective Conditioning
Exploring Individual & Collective Conditioning

Our intention from the beginning was to first examine how polarization/othering lives in each of us, inviting the research into our innermost circle of intimacy. Then to look at our relationship with collective spheres. In our 5th session, we specifically explored these pole dynamics in ourselves, family line, and community. By broadening the focus of the lab from our interior world to the outer, we introduced the terminology of IAC fluidity and brought specific awareness to the Individual, Ancestral and Collective in our lived experience. Our navigation of conflict and perspectives divergent from our own throughout our development has a clear correlation to our present-day perception and inner management of polarization. In the 6th meeting, we provided space to further explore our ability to host and own how we relate to wider systems, in order to evolve our responsibility in addressing modern needs. We presenced how we are navigating current events and attuned to each other in the fragmentation.

Through the deepening of this exploration (with having a sharing of everybody in the big group) our field grew coherence and capacity to meet the polarized places arising in our sessions. Our understanding of what the "bridge work" looks like practically moving forward emerged slowly through this process.

Listening to Ancestral Roots & Voices from the Field
Listening to Ancestral Roots & Voices from the Field

Over the course of the lab, the main topics that emerged from the group around polarization were war and politics. We had a few members in the group being Israeli (living in Israel or abroad), partly with close family there and were able to meet the collective trauma landscape and polarization in this hot trauma area many times during our lab.
In session 4, we opened up the space for “hot trauma” and listened individually to some Israeli voices. This met the group's expectation of getting concrete and real and changed the felt sense of togetherness in polarization. We also spent several sessions exploring polarization in politics as the collective landscape heated up. There was an election in November in the US and regional elections in Germany in September, both of which have presented a large degree of polarization between the parties, in families, and in ourselves.

Integrating & Restoring
Integrating & Restoring

In the 6th meeting, we realized that there is still a sense of cautiousness, reserve, and politeness among group members and that it is hard to be with numbness, the unfelt, unknown, unspeakable. It was realized that a feeling of powerlessness can be a path to more vulnerability. Entering into concrete trauma fields, and listening to personal stories fosters intimacy and helps us to enter deeper pain together - which we can encounter by just making space for it through witnessing. It was very important that the topic of polarization also showed up in our group of facilitators. We made it transparent in the group what was very welcomed and held in the group, eventually contributing to trust building. We as a team had a restorative process—which brought us closer—and also the sharing of that had an enormous impact on the group coherence.

Ethical upgrading happened by everybody taking on more responsibility in the processes of polarization and building up a capacity to relate to more challenging moments. We as a group became aware of our power to support by just listening and witnessing.

Transforming & Meta-learning
Transforming & Meta-learning

We clearly saw the changes in the lives of the participants in our last two encounters. In November we met the week of the U.S. elections with the objective of digesting our experience. There was a level of depth and intimacy that moved us. It was clear to us that we would not have been capable of meeting with the same joy, safety, and freedom at the beginning of our exploration. Many named that they were showing up in relationships with more space and capacity, including with those close ones that hold divergent political positions. Some others were purposefully opening up through work or socially to others with whom they would not have communicated with in the past.

In our last session we gathered impressions throughout the year, integrating our time together. “Becoming a Bridge” is a journey, not a destination. The energy was powerful, connected, palpable. Not everyone was able to share, or perceive the expansion that was present, though that was the general consensus.
It is evident that the integration of our mystical knowledge with collective trauma understanding expands our capability to relate to the prominent polarization in our daily walk. We feel great possibility here.

Moments of Challenge

  • It was challenging to create group coherence within just the first few sessions because the meetings were one month apart and only two hours long. Also, if someone had to miss a session, it meant they were out of the field for two months.
  • After a hot trauma session, there was resonance from one Jewish participant - which I (Thomas) as being German could not interrupt - even though it was obviously not serving the process.
  • Challenge as a facilitation team: There was sometimes a polarizing dynamic between two team members, with the third becoming a mediator (a position also well-known).
  • The topic was so broad that it was challenging to communicate concrete examples and personal stories at times.
  • There were very different expectations in the room, a few people for example wanted to learn more concrete tools for how to address conflict.

Moments of Grace

  • There was a polarizing dynamic/tension that emerged with us on the facilitator team and we shared transparently the process and outcome in the group, and there was a lot of opening of trust in the group and coherence that emerged from that.
  • During the session where we explored hot trauma, it was incredibly powerful to have an international witnessing group.
  • There were many small moments of grace of participants feeling deeply heard or felt, one participant, in the end, said she was able to truly follow her heart when she voted because of this lab.
  • The last session: not spectacular but there was a simpleness, love, opening of what is possible when we come together in this spirit and a deep sense that this is what the world needs and a beautiful timeless quality.
  • There were several moments where our group went beyond black-white - a powerful example is when a participant shared vulnerably about her partner who is a right-wing supporter in Germany
  • The U.S. election took place right at the end of our lab. Our group was processing the results, and there was a lot of resource, connection, tears, and joy. It felt like a powerful place of being able to be present with what was, and we felt that people had really internalized our year's work.

Insights

  • There is a simplicity in this work: create space to slow down and feel; make space for sharing and being heart; enter into a field of love.
  • It really needs a committed group to go deeper. So perhaps it was even a contribution to the whole that the people who were not committed - for one reason or another - stepped out.
  • How possible it is to be with the theme of polarization step by step - we found that even approaching this huge topic, that it is not impossible, it is within our reach.
  • We need people who want to do the work - and who are willing to be engaged in the process of opening to other sides.
  • Having an internationally diverse group (race, culture, age, gender etc.) was important. Having all the different perspectives in the room allowed us to have more integrated awareness. We became windows for each other in the places we couldn’t previously see.
  • Polarization is very similar all over the world but has very concrete examples and we could learn from the unique differences from people from different backgrounds/cultures
  • We experienced that the challenges that we met, when we really turn towards them, became also moments of grace.

“It is a great benefit to talk and discuss with people that are in "hot trauma places". It gives new perspectives to us who can’t imagine what it feels like.”

“I was surprised about the simplicity of the process, how the felt witnessing unites and brings us together - and overcomes fragmentation."

“Daring to approach political issues. This was suggested by the facilitators. Surprisingly it worked much better than expected. Also facilitators dared to address conflicting issues in the team. That strengthened the belief in the sincerity of the facilitators. An inclusive and trustworthy atmosphere.”

“The experience allowed me to have a safe space to explore polarization within myself. It increased my window of tolerance to remain in difficult conversations which is crucial for me as a change agent in a hot trauma environment.”

“So deeply healing and a gift to co-create a community that is international. It is inspiring and hopeful to know that people around the world care so deeply about what is critical to you.”

“It took almost 6 months until the container felt really stable. But there was basic trust from the beginning, and I did not feel judged but heard. I experienced the lab as a space where I could unload stressful emotions. What did I learn about polarisation? I have more practice to hold contradictory feelings at the same time. I earned that distancing, looking away, and judging are possibilities to deal with the overwhelming power of polarisation."
