Palestine Trauma Relief Project

Hand-in-hand with the Pocket Project Trauma Relief ProjectIf you joined the 2025 Israeli-Palestinian 20th Joint Memorial Ceremony on the 29th of April, you already know the power of bearing witness in community. Now, on May 15th, we invite you to join its sister event, the Joint Nakba Remembrance Ceremony, organised by Combatants for Peace and shared with you through the Pocket Project. This annual event continues the work of shared mourning, deep listening, and steadfast hope for a different future.This year’s theme, “Holding onto Home, Holding onto Hope,” speaks powerfully to this moment in history. The ceremony reflects on the enduring cycle of displacement and loss that Palestinians have experienced since 1948. And yet, it also looks ahead. It affirms a vision of peace rooted in justice and dignity—a future in which Palestinians are not defined by displacement, but by their right to live freely and securely.Holding onto home is about more than geography. It is a commitment to reconciliation—not only for individuals, but for the land itself. It is a call to weave peace into the shared identity of all who call this place home. We are witnessing a crisis of humanity—and we must refuse to look away. Our hearts are large enough to hold all who are suffering. We stand with life, believing that every child deserve.Join us at the Pocket Project in solidarity to bear witness and refuse to accept that war is our destiny. We will meet at 18:45 CET / 12:45pm EST / 9:45am PST to arrive together, watch the ceremony in community and have some space afterwards to hear voices. Let’s witness together, rather than alone.

The group call aims to create a safe and supportive space to share experiences and support being gaslighted or feeling that your pain is overlooked/gaslighted in work and life environments.You find yourself in a strange reality at work - feeling emotionally and physically exhausted, demotivated, and sleepless, but unable to share what is present for you during a team meeting check-in or a side conversation with a colleague. Our inner world is in turmoil, while we grapple with nightmares and the weight of what we have seen, yet we navigate institutions and communities that seem oblivious to the reality we live in. These institutions, to which we have given our time and energy, continue with "business as usual," while two million people trapped in a cage are being mass murdered with either the complicity or active participation of their governments. And you are asked to play pretend as well and go with "business as usual.”How are we managing this immense challenge? How do we confront the hypocrisy of this moment? Is it possible to maintain authentic connections when our deepest emotions and our fundamental sense of reality are neither acknowledged nor welcomed? How do we deal with the hurt that we carry and the sense of betrayal by friends, colleagues, and institutions?We do not offer easy solutions or definitive answers. Instead, we offer a temporary digital space where we can be seen and heard by each other and recognize the profound pain we are experiencing. We provide a space for sharing our collective experiences and the lessons we have learned so far.Who is Invited: This session is specifically for Palestinians in the diaspora who are navigating this complex reality, whether within their workplaces, institutions, or informal social structures. We also warmly welcome other affected individuals and allies who have experienced similar challenges.

Hand-in-hand with the Pocket Project Trauma Relief Project Now in its 20th year, the Joint Memorial Ceremony organised by Combatants for Peace and the Parents Circle - Families Forum is a beacon of hope in the darkness. Through testimonies from bereaved Israeli and Palestinian families, musical performances, and messages of peace from human rights leaders, we explore how, even in the face of unimaginable loss, we can still choose humanity over hatred and hope over despair. The Joint Memorial Ceremony is the largest Israeli-Palestinian peace event in history. This year’s ceremony will be livestreamed on April 29, 2025.Join us at the Pocket Project in solidarity to bear witness and refuse to accept that war is our destiny. We will meet at 19:15 CET/ 1:15pm EST/10:15am PST to arrive together, watch the ceremony in community and have some space afterwards to hear voices. Let’s witness together, rather than alone.Join us to regain hope that humanity can prevail.
