We invite you to gather in heartbreak—and in an act of courage, choosing to practice relating to all sides at a time when tension, polarization and fragmentation continues to rise.As the devastation and terror in Gaza continues and the humanitarian crisis deepens, with children dying daily of hunger, medical infrastructure collapsing and the consequences of over 55,000 killed,  as raids escalate in the West Bank, and as people in Israel grapple with existential fear following the horror of the 7th of October 2023, the continuing detention of hostages and the 12-day war with Iran, you are invited to bring your presence to a space of grounding and witnessing.This Global Social Witnessing call is not a space for political debate. It is a space for presence. A space to feel—together—the grief, the horror, the numbness, the tenderness. A space to witness the pain of lives lost, the disintegration of trust, and the fragile flickers of human connection that still remain.We will be joined by Rana Salman and Eszter Koranyi, the Palestinian and Israeli Co-Directors of Combatants for Peace—a binational movement of former soldiers and combatants who now walk a path of nonviolence, dialogue, and a shared search for liberation. Their leadership offers us a model of what is possible when we give ourselves to a relational practice in the face of rupture.Together, we will turn toward this moment with our bodies, our breath, and our not-knowing. Bearing witness to heartbreak is not passive. It is a subtle act of care, a weaving of the torn fabric of our shared humanity. Let us meet—across time zones, identities, and experiences—to hold this pain and love, side by side.

6-7:30pm Berlin / 7-8:30pm NairobiJoin us for a Global Social Witnessing Call for Kenya—a sacred, virtual gathering dedicated to grounding, holding compassionate space, and collectively witnessing the grief within our nation. In this time, we invite people from around the world to bear witness with open hearts, offering presence as medicine and to join in a global field of care that sees, feels, and does not look away. Together, we honour the depth of our emotions and cultivate hope for healing and transformation. This is not a space for analysis or solutions, but for witnessing and compassion—for allowing the truth of suffering to be held in dignity and humanity. By coming together across continents, we make space for sorrow to be shared and global interconnectedness to be remembered. In this Global Social Witnessing call, we will explore:Grief – both personal and collective, acknowledged and unspoken Grounding – as a way to stay present amidst intensity and pain Navigating turbulence with compassionate presence – learning to stay with what hurts, togetherThere will be moments of silence, reflection, poetry, and deep listening, as we hold Kenya and its people in our hearts. We honour the interconnectedness of all suffering, and we trust in the quiet power of bearing witness to life as it is.Whether you are Kenyan, connected to Kenya, or called to stand in solidarity, your presence is welcome and needed. Together, we weave a fabric of global belonging—one that does not forget, that does not turn away, and that holds space for healing across borders.

This call invites us to listen deeply to the lived experiences of young Ukrainians navigating the profound transition from adolescence to adulthood amidst the upheaval of war. Just as their country undergoes a transformation, these young people are shaping their identities, discovering their values, and seeking belonging in the face of uncertainty, instability and unsafety. At the heart of this initiative lies the power of community: peer-led Resilience Circles where young people support one another, explore trauma-informed practices, and learn facilitation skills to guide conversations that empower. The Pocket Project’s work in Ukraine has shown that peer circles can be as impactful as traditional therapy, fostering a sense of belonging, resilience, and hope. Your presence strengthens the connections—nurturing the next generation of resilient, compassionate leaders in Ukraine.In this call, we will explore:Youth resilience and identity in times of transition Peer-led resilience circles as pathways to healing Belonging, healing, and growth within community
