Learning becomes transformative when it is lived, practiced, and shared.
After the foundations of Phases 1 and 2, Phase 3 invites participants into the next step of the journey: embodied practice.

This is where participants begin to apply what they have learned by facilitating Resilience Circles and Resilience Conversations in supported peer and community settings.

Over three and a half months, participants will practice in small groups, receive compassionate feedback, join mentoring sessions with experienced facilitators, and gradually strengthen their confidence to hold spaces with steadiness, care, and trauma-informed awareness.

With dedicated language and context-specific strands in English, Ukrainian, Arabic, and German, this phase continues to support learning that is both globally connected and locally rooted.

This phase is designed for those who have already completed Phases 1 and 2 of the Resilience Program, or who bring equivalent foundations through another Pocket Project training or related trauma-informed facilitation experience.

🌿 Words from our community

Behind every event, training, circle, and conversation, there is a simple intention: to create spaces where people can feel more connected, more present, and less alone with what they carry.

Voices from our community speak to what becomes possible when people gather with care, honesty, and a willingness to listen more deeply
to themselves, to one another, and to the world around them.

We are grateful for every person who joins, supports, shares, practices, and helps bring this work into life.

Thank you for being part of this growing field of collective healing and resilience.

What becomes possible when distrust between genders is finally spoken aloud?

Many of the tensions between men, women, and people of other genders are shaped by histories of harm, silence, fear, shame, and power. Yet when these dynamics remain unspoken, they can quietly continue to shape how we relate to one another.

In this episode, Pamela von Sabljar and Sean Talbeaux return to the Pocket Project to explore some of the more difficult questions that emerged during a recent Global Social Witnessing call.

What does it mean for men to be witnessed not only in vulnerability, but also in the places where harm, dominance, or privilege may be present?

The conversation moves beyond easy answers. It touches on shame, vulnerability, masculine energy, competition, safety, and the ways our nervous systems can pull us into familiar patterns of blame, withdrawal, or defence.

🌿 What past do we inherit?
Each of us comes from somewhere. A family. A culture. A land. A community. A history that began long before us.

Some of what we inherit may carry pain. Some of it may carry silence. Some of it may carry resilience, beauty, dignity, wisdom, and strength.

Often, these histories live quietly in the background of our lives.
They shape how we belong, how we protect ourselves, how we relate to others, and how we understand who we are.

Taking time to ask what we inherit can be a powerful act of awareness.
When we begin to witness these layers in ourselves, we may also become more able to meet them in others.

And through this witnessing, something can begin to soften.
Something can become more conscious. Something can be brought back into connection.

What happens when fear is carried not only through individual lives, but through generations?

The European witch trials may belong to the past, yet the conditions surrounding them left deep ruptures in families, communities, and relationships, particularly among women.

Andrea Livingston and Lysan Boshuyzen have been exploring this terrain through a Pocket Project Integration Lab dedicated to the ancestral and collective legacy of the witch hunts.

This is a rich exploration of how collective trauma work can help us meet history not as something distant, but as something we may still be carrying and have the possibility to transform.

Today, we gather to witness what is unfolding in Colombia.

In the aftermath of the earthquake, many communities are still living with grief, displacement, uncertainty, and the difficult work of finding safety again.

This Global Social Witnessing call is an invitation to slow down, listen to voices from the frontlines, and make space for what this moment asks of us, not only as observers, but as part of a shared human field.

Together with Camila Olarte and Kosha Joubert, we will explore how presence can become solidarity, how care can be embodied, and how we might stay connected to suffering without turning away or becoming overwhelmed.

We warmly invite you to join us today. https://pocketproject.org/event/the-earthquake-in-colombia-opening-our-solidarity-and-care/

What allows us to meet difficult collective histories without becoming overwhelmed by them?

For therapist and teacher Markus Hirzig, part of the answer lies in something deceptively simple: learning how to stay connected to ourselves.

After decades of exploring patterns held in the body and more than twenty years of work in collective trauma integration, Markus has seen how deeply historical experiences can continue to live within groups. In Germany, this meant encountering collective energies connected to the Second World War, the Holocaust, and the East-West divide.

In this episode, Markus reflects on the importance of nervous system regulation as a foundation for collective healing. Not as a way of avoiding difficult emotions or histories, but as a way of building the capacity to meet them without losing connection to ourselves and one another.

When the earth moves, something shifts far beyond the ground beneath our feet.

For those living through the earthquake in Colombia, the impact continues in the days that follow. In grief, uncertainty, disrupted homes, frightened nervous systems, and the long process of finding safety again.

And for those of us witnessing from afar, there is also a question: how do we stay present without turning away, becoming overwhelmed, or reducing someone else’s suffering to another piece of news?

This Global Social Witnessing call is a space to slow down and listen deeply to voices from the frontlines in Colombia. Together, we will make room for what is here and explore how witnessing can help us metabolise what we are taking in rather than carrying it alone.

Facilitated by Camila Olarte and Kosha Joubert, this gathering is an invitation to meet what has happened with our shared humanity, and to let solidarity become something we feel, embody, and bring into relationship. https://pocketproject.org/event/the-earthquake-in-colombia-opening-our-solidarity-and-care/

🌿 Caring for the mind is part of caring for your life.

So much of what we go through leaves traces in the way we think.
In the stories we repeat. In the worries that return. In the inner criticism that becomes familiar. In the way we imagine the future, remember the past, or speak to ourselves in quiet moments.

Sometimes the mind tries to protect us by staying alert.
By preparing for what could go wrong. By replaying what hurt. By searching for certainty when life feels uncertain.
And often, beneath all of this, there is a part of us asking for safety, gentleness, and rest.

Caring for the mind does not mean forcing ourselves to think positively.
It does not mean silencing what is difficult.
It means learning to listen more kindly. To notice the thoughts that tighten us. To question the stories that keep us small. To create more space between what happened and who we are becoming.

Slowly, the mind can become less like a battlefield and more like a place we can return to with compassion. A place where clarity can grow. Where tenderness is allowed.

Because becoming whole is not only about what we feel in the body.
It is also about how we learn to meet ourselves inside our own mind.

A gentle reminder to join us on August 19 for a free Global Social Witnessing gathering exploring neurodiversity, belonging, and the collective body.

Together with Lana Kristine Jelenjev, Dr Ruby Campbell, and Kosha Joubert, we will reflect on how we can create spaces where belonging does not depend on masking or conformity, and where different nervous systems, rhythms, and ways of participating are genuinely welcomed.

Come as you are, with your own way of sensing, processing, and being in the world. 💛 https://pocketproject.org/event/neurodiversity-belonging-and-the-collective-body/
