Kamran Ghaderi endured 7.5 years in Tehran’s notorious Evin prison. Arrested unexpectedly by the Iranian Intelligence Service during a business trip, Kamran faced 80 days in isolation and 89 months in prison, missing crucial years with his family. Despite these harrowing circumstances, Kamran emerged with a passion for languages, writing, and a deep commitment to human rights activism. He shared his story of resilience and transformation in a powerful conversation and gave insights into the strength of the human spirit.

The coronavirus left a mark on our lives, both socially and internally. We were all touched by loss – of loved ones, work spaces, community, belonging, health, and by fear – of illness and death, being blamed for someone else’s illness, having our basic democratic rights taken away. Some of us experienced gains, too; others didn’t. We were invited to bring our experience to this call to soften the fabric of fine and deep scars for integration.

How does our disconnect from ourselves, each other, and the living systems we are embedded in give birth to the crises of our times? Can we bring our embodied witnessing capacity to these gaps, especially regarding the natural world, and open up to what might become visible? What does it feel like when we allow our curiosity and system sensing capacity to enter these spaces?  Join us for this call to explore possibilities for a next level of embeddedness, connectedness, and evolutionary movement.

On Tuesday November 5th, Donald Trump was elected President and the Republican party gained control of the Senate and possibly the House of Representatives. Trump supporters are delighted with the outcome while many who opposed his election are experiencing uncertainty and fear.  After one of the most polarized elections in the country’s history, the Trump team has begun its plans for his Presidency, and opponents are mobilizing to resist many of the steps he has said he intends to take. Among the opposition’s concerns are concerns how the new administration will respond to multiple national and global challenges including the Climate Crisis, the subject of the Pocket Project’s upcoming Climate Consciousness Summit.  We will sit together, witness the range of our felt experiences in response to these events, including and honoring the places where it is challenging for us to stay related to ourselves and others.
