Hosted by Matthew Green. Produced by J'aime Rothbard. 

In our inaugural episode, we are joined by Manda Johnson, co-founder of the Pocket Project’s Global Social Witnessing Competence Centre. Amanda shares her journey of integrating her personal and ancestral trauma, which led her to the practice of Global Social Witnessing. Together, they explore how this practice connects personal healing with collective healing and how it can transform our response to global crises. Discover the profound impacts and the potential for this practice to reimagine how we conceive of trauma, reshape our media system, and support collective evolution.

Promotional link: The Global Social Witnessing Facilitator Training offers a deep exploration into the practice of attuning to world events with an embodied awareness, fostering a culture of conscious global citizenship. This training is designed for individuals who seek to move beyond passive consumption of news and into a space of active witnessing, where presence becomes a transformative force for healing and change.
