SUMMARY:Listening Across the Threshold – A Social Witnessing Event on Migration and Cultures of Welcome
DESCRIPTION:Hosted in English with simultaneous translation in German \nThe experience of migration touches something essential in all of us\, our longing to belong\, to be seen\, and to find our place in a new world. In this global social witnessing event\, we turn toward the human dimension of arrival and integration\, creating a space to listen across differences and hold multiple realities at once. At a time when migration is so often reduced to policy and polarization\, we return to what lies beneath: the stories\, the resilience\, and the quiet courage that shape every journey. \nAcross the United States and Europe\, the question of how societies respond to migration has never felt more urgent. In the US\, mass deportation operations\, the dismantling of asylum protections\, and the criminalization of migrants have created a climate of fear for millions of people with lived migration experience. In Europe\, border crackdowns\, and the erosion of humanitarian commitments have left many who sought safety feeling unwelcome and unseen. And yet\, within these same societies\, countless individuals\, communities\, and institutions are quietly working to hold open a different possibility\, one rooted in dignity\, care\, and genuine welcome. \nListening to voices from German institutions and from people with lived migration experience\, we explore how sustainable integration depends not only on systems\, but on our capacity to stay present and meet complexity with openness. What does it feel like to arrive somewhere new and not yet belong? And what becomes possible when those who hold institutional roles truly listen\, not to manage or fix\, but to witness and receive? \nTogether\, we will inquire into how a culture of welcome emerges\, whether in the moments where we attune to one another across difference\, where trauma and resilience are honored side by side\, or where belonging begins to feel like something we co-create rather than grant. \nRooted in the vision of the Cultures of Welcome Project\, this gathering invites us to sense what shifts when stories are truly witnessed and received with attention. \nIn this event\, we will explore: \n\nDeep Listening and Social Witnessing: Cultivating the inner steadiness to stay present with stories that differ from our own\, and to hold complexity without collapsing it.\nBridging Institutional and Lived Perspectives: Exploring how cultures of welcome are built across the gap between systems and the people they serve\, and what it asks of each of us.\nTrauma and Resilience: Sensing how our own histories shape our ability to welcome others\, and how healing happens in relationship.\nCo-Creating Cultures of Welcome: Exploring what becomes possible when arrival is met not just with procedures\, but with genuine human presence and care.\n\n

SUMMARY:Staying Present When Things Fall Apart – Resilience as Coherence Across Individuals\, Relationships\, and Systems
DESCRIPTION:In a world of increasing instability\, how do we remain grounded\, connected\, and able to act? How do we build the capacity to move through disruption without losing ourselves or each other? \nThis conversation marks the launch of a new Policy Brief from the Pocket Project based on a recent study of a  systematic review and analysis of 53 studies on resilience in contexts of collective trauma by Japhet Niyonsenga and colleagues. The findings challenge familiar assumptions: that resilience means returning to normal\, that it is an individual capacity\, or that it can be built through technical solutions alone. \nWhat emerges instead is a more complex and collective picture: resilience as the capacity to maintain coherence and continuity of identity while undergoing transformation. It develops not in isolation\, but through the interaction of individual capacities\, relationships\, cultural meaning\, and structural conditions. \nIn this event\, we will explore: \n\nUnderstanding Disruption: How complex systems actually move through crisis\, and what this means for how we work with individuals\, communities\, and institutions.\nPresence as Foundation: Why the capacity to remain present with difficulty — rather than avoid it — is central to resilience at every level.\nRelational and Systemic Practice: How leaders\, practitioners\, and communities can cultivate the conditions for coherence\, trust\, and shared meaning in times of stress.\n\n

SUMMARY:Cultivating Resilience Together – Exploring Self-Regulation\, Co-Regulation\, and the Power of Collective Wellbeing
DESCRIPTION:The wellbeing of our individual nervous systems and the wellbeing of our communities are deeply intertwined. In this community call\, we turn toward what it means to cultivate cultures of resilience—within ourselves and with one another. Resilience is the inner capacity to regulate\, ground\, and find agency in the face of challenge. It is not the absence of pain or difficulty\, but the ability to stay connected—to our bodies\, to each other\, and to what matters most. \nIn this session with Anne Huhn and Heidi Wohlhüter\, we will explore the interplay between self-regulation and co-regulation\, between personal wellbeing and the collective field. How do we become steady enough within ourselves to stay present in moments of tension or uncertainty? And how do we extend that steadiness outward\, contributing to spaces where others can soften\, land\, and belong? \nTogether\, we will inquire into how resilience is not something we build alone\, but something that emerges in relationship—in the spaces where we listen\, attune\, and respond with care. As we deepen our capacity to be with our own experience\, we become more available to meet the experiences of others\, weaving threads of mutual support within our communities. \nThis call offers a space to slow down\, listen inwardly\, and practice being in connection—with ourselves and with one another. It also marks the launch of the Pocket Project’s Resilience Program—a body of work evolving over the past four years through the Ukraine Trauma Relief Project\, now opening as an invitation to deepen into resilience together. \nIn this community call\, we will explore: \n\nInner Resourcing: Cultivating nervous system awareness and recognizing our needs\, rhythms\, and capacities.\nRelational Skills: Strengthening our ability to show up with honesty\, presence\, and care in our relationships and communities.\nCollective Resilience: Sensing how shared regulation and mutual support can nourish grounded\, responsive\, and life-giving systems.\n\n

SUMMARY:Global Healing Day – Building Resilience Together
DESCRIPTION:Hosted in English with simultaneous live translation in Ukrainian\, German and Arabic. \nIn honor of Global Healing Day on the 25th of April\, this Global Social Witnessing call invites us into a deeper exploration of collective resilience as an important quality of collective healing. Global Healing Day is not a single event but a living field of co-creation\, a shared pause\, a remembering\, a decentralised ecosystem of people\, organisations\, and networks acting in synergy to spark healing across all systems. On this day\, we are invited to contribute to a shared pulse of healing. \nAs we gather within this moment and movement\, we turn our attention to an essential capacity of our time: the ability to remain grounded\, connected\, and resourced in the face of adversity. Resilience is not the absence of pain or difficulty\, but the ability to remain connected to oneself and others through hardship\, and to find agency in the midst of conflict. We are also delighted to mark this occasion with the launch of the Pocket Project’s Resilience Program\, a trauma-informed training for practitioners\, leaders\, and community stewards dedicated to building societal resilience from the inside out. \nHearing from voices across regions touched by displacement\, conflict\, and collective trauma\, we bear witness to our shared stories and explore what it means to cultivate resilience — within ourselves\, our relationships\, and the communities we are part of. How do we stabilise our nervous systems when the ground feels uncertain? How do we remain present to others when we ourselves are stretched? And how can the circles we host and inhabit become sources of collective strength and relational repair? \nIn this Global Social Witnessing Call\, we will explore: \n\nBearing Witness: Honoring the stories of those living through acute crisis\, conflict\, and collective hardship\, and cultivating the inner steadiness to remain present without turning away.\nGrounding and Regulation: Exploring practices that support nervous system stabilization and co-regulation\, so that we may become anchors of calm within the systems and communities we serve.\nResilience in Relationship: Discovering how resilience circles\, trauma-informed facilitation\, and relational awareness can strengthen social connection\, restore coherence\, and sustain communities through ongoing change.\n\n  \n
