Daily Insight Video from Thomas

Emergence

Thomas Hübl

Host, Teacher, Author of Attuned and Healing Collective Trauma, and Founder, Academy of Inner Science
Show More Info ▼
Highlights from this session:
- How unintegrated history interferes with presence and emergence
- How the “repetition compulsion” recreates similar conflicts over and over
- The difference between emergence and projecting the pain of the past
Thomas Hübl, PhD, is a renowned teacher, author, and international facilitator who works within the complexity of systems and cultural change, integrating the core insights of the great wisdom traditions and mysticism with the discoveries of science. Since the early 2000s, he has led large-scale events and courses on the healing of collective trauma, with a special focus on the shared history of Israelis and Germans, and facilitated healing and dialogue around racism, oppression, colonialism, and genocide. He is the author of the books, Attuned: Practicing Interdependence to Heal Our Trauma—and Our World and Healing Collective Trauma: A Process for Integrating Our Intergenerational and Cultural Wounds. He has served as an advisor and guest faculty for universities and organizations and is currently a visiting scholar at the Wyss Institute at Harvard University.

“We can connect much more to the emergence that is alive in all of us, because it’s free. Everybody has access to it. We just need to create the circumstances and the ecosystems to support it.” – Thomas Hübl
