We are living through hard times — ecological grief, political polarisation, social tension, personal and professional exhaustion.

So often we’re asked to stay strong, keep going, or fix what’s broken.

Not here.

This is an invitation to pause and practice being with what is present — without rushing to resolve, explain, or bypass what we’re feeling.

Being with

is a practice of allowing:

being present,

being connected,

being seen and heard,

being open to letting go.

being open.

This conversation is for you if you are simply human and

•⁠ ⁠You get overwhelmed or confused by what’s happening in the world

•⁠ ⁠You may carry grief, anger, fatigue, resignation or numbness

•⁠ ⁠You care and you are a changemaker, leader, facilitator, activist, coach

•⁠ ⁠You believe in community and are not stopped by borders or boundaries

Being With : Hard Times is a 1.5-hour online community of practice. We’ll reflect individually, listen deeply in small groups, and make collective sense of our experiences. This is not therapy or a seminar — it’s a live, relational inquiry..
