So many caring, committed individuals, social activists, health professionals and healers, business women and men and people from every walk of life look around and have no idea how to respond to global events that seem emotionally overwhelming, out of our control and with no effective way to respond and make a difference. Helpless, hopeless, sad and angry. Or protected by walls of absence, apathy and cynicism. But none of this gives us what we long for – the ability to respond, the possibility of finding some restoration to conflict, suffering, injustice.
Global Social Witnessing begins with each individual. It is the ability to relate to processes, incidents and situations that happen in our culture. But in order to relate to myself, I need to have the ability to adequately map my outside into my inside. When I can create a physical, emotional and mental representation of outer events within myself I can really relate to them. This relationship, in turn, allows me to come to an appropriate (not reactive), creative action. Thomas Hübl
