Thomas Hübl, PhD, is a teacher, author, and international facilitator who works within the complexity of systems and cultural change, bringing the core insights of the great wisdom traditions and mysticism together with the discoveries of science. Since 2004 he has taught and facilitated programs with more than 100,000 people worldwide, including online courses, which he began offering in 2013.
Born in Austria, Hübl studied medicine at the University of Vienna and worked as a paramedic for nine years. In the 1990s he left his studies to follow a new path of teaching meditation and mindfulness-based awareness practices. He completed his PhD, on healing and integrating collective trauma, in 2022. When he began holding retreats in Austria and Germany in the early 2000s, he noticed that many participants started to voice deeply held intergenerational wounds stemming from the Second World War.
Over the following two decades, this led him to develop the Collective Trauma Integration Process, a model for working with individual, ancestral, and collective trauma. It invites a safe exploration of sharing and reflection, guided by a facilitation process that supports radical openness, transparent communication, mindful awareness, and refined relational competencies. He has led large-scale events that brought together thousands of Germans and Israelis to face the cultural shadow left by the Holocaust.
Hübl is the author of Attuned: Practicing Interdependence to Heal Our Trauma—and Our World (2023) and Healing Collective Trauma: A Process for Integrating Our Intergenerational and Cultural Wounds (2020), and co-author with Dr. Richard Schwartz of Releasing Our Burdens (2025). He is a visiting scholar at the Wyss Institute at Harvard University, has taught at Harvard Medical School since 2019, and works as an executive coach and trainer. He is also Chair of the Pocket Project, a non-profit dedicated to growing a culture of trauma-informed care, which he founded with Yehudit Sasportas.
