Thomas Huebl

Thomas Hübl, PhD, is a teacher, author and international facilitator who works within the complexity of systems and cultural change. He brings together the core insights of the great wisdom traditions and mysticism with the discoveries of science.

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 began holding retreats in Austria and Germany in the early 2000s, and noticed that many participants began to voice deeply held intergenerational wounds stemming from the Second World War. Over the following two decades he developed the Collective Trauma Integration Process for working with individual, ancestral and collective trauma. It is a facilitated process of sharing and reflection that supports radical openness, transparent communication, mindful awareness and refined relational competencies. He completed his PhD on healing and integrating collective trauma in 2022.

Since 2004 he has taught and facilitated programs with more than 100,000 people worldwide, including online courses, which he began offering in 2013. He has led large-scale events that brought together thousands of Germans and Israelis to face and heal the cultural shadow left by the Holocaust. His training programs have also addressed climate anxiety, racism, gender violence and political polarization through the lens of individual, ancestral and collective trauma.

He 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). He is also co-author, with Dr. Richard Schwartz, of Releasing Our Burdens (2025). Hübl is a visiting scholar at the Wyss Institute at Harvard University and has taught at Harvard Medical School since 2019. As an executive coach and trainer, he supports CEOs, consultants, coaches and leaders, guides trauma-informed leadership, and provides senior supervision. He is also chair of the Pocket Project, a non-profit he co-founded with Yehudit Sasportas to grow a culture of trauma-informed care.
