SUMMARY:Being Overlooked as a Palestinian in Diaspora
DESCRIPTION: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. \nYou 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.” \nHow 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? \nWe 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. \nWho 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.

SUMMARY:Finding Our Agency: Strengthening Our Courage Amid Uncertainty
DESCRIPTION:Across the United States—and throughout the world—many are navigating a deepening sense of uncertainty. Shifts in social\, environmental\, and political landscapes are raising important questions about belonging\, safety\, and the future we are collectively shaping. In times of turbulence\, it is natural for feelings of fear and stress to arise. \nThis Global Social Witnessing call invites us to turn toward these experiences—not in retreat\, but with courageous presence\, inner resourcefulness\, and a spirit of collective care. Together\, we will explore how moments of instability can become opportunities for strengthening resilience\, reconnecting to our innate agency\, and stepping forward with thoughtful action. \nRather than judging or dividing\, we gather to witness what is unfolding within and around us—and to activate the compassionate and unique leadership that lives within every one of us. \n  \nDuring this session\, we will:\n🌿 Create a space where experiences of fear and stress can be witnessed\, grounded\, and metabolized in community\n 🌿 Provide collective resourcing and support to deepen individual and shared resilience\n 🌿 Reconnect to a sense of personal and collective agency—exploring how compassionate presence can inspire thoughtful\, courageous engagement with the world \nOur focus will be:\n\nHow can we strengthen our capacity to stay related and grounded amid uncertainty and complexity?\n\nHow can collective witnessing transform stress into resilience\, and withdrawal into awake\, empowered presence?\n\nHow can compassion\, rooted in the uniqueness of our presence\, guide us to take responsive and courageous action in service of the whole?\n\n

SUMMARY:Coming Home to Being Jewish
DESCRIPTION:Creating a warm and safe space for the presencing and integration of the individual\, ancestral and collective trauma and resilience of being Jewish. \nWe will meet monthly with people who identify as having Jewish ancestry\, to explore aspects of our Jewish experience including: the presencing of our individual\, ancestral and collective trauma; the challenges of the current situation in the Middle East; aspects of both Jewish persecution and perpetration; internalised anti-semitism and whatever themes and experiences group participants bring to the call. \nOur intention is to create a warm\, welcoming and safe space in which such topics and experiences can be felt\, held within a field of group coherence and resonance\, and in this way to support our individual and collective capacity to reflect\, digest and integrate what arises. \n

SUMMARY:The Joint Nakba Remembrance Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:Hand-in-hand with the Pocket Project Trauma Relief Project \nIf 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. \nThis 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. \nHolding 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. \nJoin 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.
