What is Collective Healing?
What is Collective Healing? is a weekly podcast exploring how people around the world are finding new ways to heal the individual, inter-generational and collective trauma at the root of our global crises. Presented by the Pocket Project, the series features deeply personal conversations with practitioners who have trained under Thomas Hübl and other pioneers of collective healing – giving listeners a direct experience of the transformational potential this work can unlock. Drawing on a wide diversity of voices from different countries, cultures and communities, the series aims to make the universal principles underlying collective healing practices newly accessible to all – and honour the many lineages and traditions informing today’s cutting-edge practices. In an age of overwhelming complexity and news overload, it’s easy to forget that we’re not meant to carry the weight of the world alone. What Is Collective Healing? is your weekly reminder that not only are we wired to grieve, celebrate and heal together – we’re discovering new ways to transmute polarisation, trauma and despair into the seeds of a more flourishing future. These conversations show us how.
