A Conversation With Thomas Hübl

Online Conversation, Books Available to Add-On at Checkout

We are all connected―and we are all dependent on each other and the world we live in. Yet, even though technology has allowed us to virtually share our lives with more people than ever, the result has been a growing pattern of personal isolation, alienation, and division. Why? According to renowned teacher and author Thomas Hübl, we are seeing the manifestation of collective trauma.

Join Thomas and internationally known speaker, writer, poet, and teacher Drew Dellinger for an empowering conversation on healing our world through understanding our interconnectedness and healing our individual, ancestral, and cultural trauma. Thomas shares insights from his work and his latest book, Attuned, which examines how our world’s profoundly complex challenges demand a new level of human collaboration.  

In his latest book and in his work, Thomas discusses the relational field through which we transmit and receive experiences, hopes, fears, and dreams within the collective. By embracing our interdependence, we can activate what is needed to respond and evolve through the challenges of our age. We must use transparent communication to enliven and deepen our relationship with all beings. “It may take only a small number of us,” writes Hübl, “to establish a new level of collective coherence―to share our light, heal our wounds, and realize the unawakened potential of our world."
