Dear Ones,
How many times do we freeze, contract, react in relating with the news headlines, with each other or even within ourselves? How can we stay related and resourced as we meet our edges? What is the healing movement? Where can we begin?
Kosha Joubert, my guest on today’s podcast has been walking these questions. Her story really models receptivity to Grace as a function of aligning with one’s inner purpose- following the true call of your soul.
As the CEO of the Pocket Project, she is devoted to creating pockets of coherence around the world where we can come together to digest the intensity that is not able to be digested alone. In that vein, I hope you’ll join us in this experiential conversation and write to us to tell us what touches you.
If it resonates, consider joining Kosha in the next Global Social Witnessing Training starting Sept 3!
with hope and care,
Ishita
EPISODE DESCRIPTION
How can we heal in a fragmented world? Where can we start today? What is trauma? How does it shape us personally, ancestrally, collectively? Join Kosha Joubert and Ishita Sharma to explore how personal and collective trauma affect us and how we can engage healing amidst fragmentation.
WHAT YOU’LL HEAR ABOUT:
Global social witnessing, trauma-informed leadership, supporting and being supported by our elders.
From South African apartheid to global solutions
Growing up in shock and recognition
Awakening to generational suffering
Personal purpose, challenging sense-making
Money, ethics, values, experiments
Despair, not-knowing, meaninglessness
Looking for deeper Reality, coming home to self
Our inherent right to be, belong and become (Thomas Hubl)
Ancestral wisdom across global cultures
“We are naturally born into a fabric of bio systems of nature that if we interact with it from a place of love will produce abundance, there will be enough for us.”
“If I was really true to my inner compass, that life would change.”
Receptivity to Grace, alignment with purpose- getting naked with Life
What is privilege?
Transmuting trauma into purposeful action
Money is energy flow- let abundance arrive as a function of walking your true path
Global eco-village- power inherent in this real grounded change growing from nervous systems, connecting to nervous systems.
Hitting the glass ceiling- recognizing collective trauma
Power of Collective Wisdom
Shifting from self-flagellation and mutual judgment to care and compassion.
Global citizenship- holding the heart of the world as your own
Suffering as a pointer to our healing and liberation
What’s trauma? The encapsulated energy that is left over at any time when the energy streaming through the nervous system is too intense for the nervous system to allow the stream to continue.
Realistic healing movement, community building
Focus of Western therapy on the individual is no longer appropriate for this time.
Global Social Witnessing
Meeting my own edge and capacity- where do I get activated?
Where I can stay present to the world. Inner and the outer healing.
Applying polyvagal theory to ourselves
Slowing down- transforming suffering into gold
Coherent fields
Authentic agency rooted in presence
No individual nervous system
“If I am not embodied, I cannot be related.”
How can we engage in real time solutions for ourselves and each other?
