Mental Health & Connection In Turbulent Times

Connection in Turbulent Times: a community call and fundraiser for Colombia
Connection in Turbulent Times: a community call and fundraiser for Colombia

If you are looking for a vulnerable but uplifting, heartwarming conversation about how to keep ourselves afloat in these dark times, I have an invitation for you: a small community call and fundraiser.

The last few years have been devastating; there is no other way to describe them. To remain sane, to continue speaking out, and to keep my heart open to this world has been a challenge that has required me to use all the tools in my toolbox and to look for new ones.

🌱 Community Call & Fundraiser

September 17, 2026 · 12 PM EST / 7 PM EEST
Up to 5 participants · Online
Contribution: $50 or $75

I have a lot to share, but I never forget that we are always wiser collectively. And we cannot fight for collective liberation if we’re not in community.

That’s why I’d like to offer you an opportunity to connect in an online space to talk about how what’s happening in the world is affecting us, what we’re doing to keep ourselves going, and what tools and frameworks we can draw on from trauma studies, neuroscience, (Western) psychology, and Buddhist psychology.

There’s a question/reminder that I pose in one of my videos. If it’s a question you’ve been asking (or feeling in your body), too, my invitation is definitely for you.

I am inviting you to join my second community call of up to five people this September (if you’d rather have one-on-one calls with me, I have that option here). The first call took place on August 26 and was absolutely lovely — small, vulnerable, and heartwarming.

>> September 17, 2026, 12pm (noon) EST <<

Please register by September 16, 2026 (Wednesday) to guarantee a spot.

What will we talk about?

We’ll share what we have been using to help regulate our nervous systems, the importance of having mental, psychological, literary, and spiritual frameworks that keep us going, how we can approach rest, and what frameworks help to process the complicity or indifference of others.

What I am offering you is an opportunity to connect, to talk about how we can sustain our political action and practices of resistance, and also to support the people of Colombia.

How? From every contribution, I will donate $10–20 to local organizations providing relief in Colombia’s Chocó and Valle del Cauca regions after the recent earthquake 💔 Valle del Cauca is where I used to live and have connections on the ground. The remainder helps sustain my independent work, pro bono consulting for different NGOs, and covers the time involved in organizing the call.

To join, please register by September 16. Your contribution can be either $50 or $75:

1) a contribution of 50 USD10 USD goes to 🇨🇴
2) a contribution of 75 USD (if you’re willing and able to give more) – 20 USD goes to 🇨🇴

If you have a European bank account or can easily transfer money to such accounts, I invite you to make a transfer directly to my bank by September 16, 2026. Please leave Talk as a reference and send me a quick email at jposkeviciute[at]gmail.com afterward to make sure I know how to contact you.
