We are living in a time when a new upsurge in systemic oppression, silencing and violence toward the feminine has become impossible to ignore. The Epstein Files, the activities of misogynistic influencers featured in the ‘Inside the Manosphere’ documentary, and the CNN investigation into the ‘Motherless’ online platform where men shared pornographic videos of partners and wives, have opened new windows into the extent and depth of gender-based perpetration, complicity and wounding alive in today’s world. A lack of justice and accountability have compounded the harms.

Our intention in this Global Social Witnessing Call is to explore our experience as we begin to face this landscape to the extent that each of us finds possible. By growing our collective capacity for witnessing together and recognising where we need to turn away in the face of what might be triggered in us, we can begin to prepare a shared ground that women, men and people of all genders need to address these realities together.

In this call we will explore:

• The impact the above revelations have had and are having on all of us
• How we can resource ourselves to meet these impacts
• How we might bring our witnessing capacity to sense into the deeper roots of what we are experiencing

Only by first acknowledging the harm that has been done can we begin authentic work of reconciliation, restoration and repair. Please know that the content of this call may be upsetting and make a conscious choice on whether this is the right time for you to join.
