Dear friends and difficult collaborators:)


Never has there been a greater need for difficult collaborations, for the
strategies and practices that pitch us together against a system which is
destroying us. We are so enthusiastic and proud to offer our 7th Hologram
introductory course, focusing on difficult collaborations. Would you like
to come?

We have been hosting about two courses per year since 2020. Every course
has a different topic, and is geared to a different type of caregiver.
These courses are always free. We believe that caregivers are the people
who need the most support, that people who give the most support often
struggle the most with receiving it, and that if all caregivers were well
cared for, forms of toxic power (like capitalism) could not survive.

This course happens once per week for 6 weeks, on Wednesdays from 6-9pm
CET, starting on October 19th. The applications are due October 10. The
course will be facilitated by Sage Jaffrey, Alex Navarrete and Lita Wallis.

Solidarity,
The Hologram

Or… how do we find ways to organise together, even when we hate each other
a little bit??

It's 2022 and finally, generations of racism, colonialism, capitalism,
misogyny, ableism, transphobia and queerphobia are being called out, and
different identity groups are learning to express rage, pain and fear on a
personal and systemic level. Individuals and groups are trying out ways to
hold space that take these violences into account. However while the
dominant culture in the global North is still so individualising, it's hard
to build the skills that it takes to survive as a member of a collective,
and the hardcore challenges that it brings.

How do we collectively care for our own scars while building bridges with
those who might represent people or groups who have made our lives more
difficult? How can we find ways to acknowledge and honour our differences,
so we can struggle alongside each other? Never has there been a greater
need for difficult collaborations, for the strategies and practices that
pitch us together against a system which is destroying us. Because,
realistically, we need everyone there for the revolution.

If we focus just on being “safe” and “trauma informed” we risk making
injustice insular and personalised, and we lose sight of the experiences of
others on the social / global scale. During a recent visit from the
Zapatistas to Europe, it was observed that “you think it’s about identity
but it’s about all these injustices we face together.” Have we allowed
neoliberalism to co-opt our identities and experiences to keep us divided?
Has capitalism commodified our wounds and our weapons to mean that our
movements can only scratch surface level?

The seventh Hologram course will aim to use The Hologram protocol to muddle
through this conundrum together, as openly and light-heartedly as we can!
In a series of six online sessions we will practice and discuss the social
skills, values, and priorities that are central to The Hologram model. In
the course we will:

   - Learn and practice the hologram protocol
   - Learn what it takes and take the first steps towards assembling and
   hosting your own hologram
   - Meet other people and have discussions on this theme - maybe we will
   learn something useful, or maybe we will leave just as stuck! But we will
   come in the spirit of experimentation and see what happens.
