Point of Relation with Thomas Huebl

This week, Thomas shares a teaching that explores boundary setting as a deep spiritual practice that allows us to embody our authentic inner experience. When we define and share our boundaries, we’re not creating walls to shut others out; we’re engaging in a fluid dance that acknowledges our pain, creates safety, and actually helps us become less rigid and defensive.Thomas discusses why it’s so difficult for some of us to establish boundaries, and shares conscious, relational tools to help us stay present with pain, move from isolation to interdependence, and learn to treat life’s challenges as a path to spiritual maturity. He also explores the importance of specificity as we learn to better attune to ourselves and others, and how that impacts our individual, ancestral, and collective healing.✨ Watch the video version of this episode on YouTube:👉 https://youtu.be/o8k01R2dReMVideo episodes are typically posted at 8am PT/ 11am ET✨ Join Thomas and the CEO of Mobius Executive Leadership, Amy Elizabeth Fox, on March 31 for a free, live, online event - When Chaos is the Context: Bringing a Trauma-Informed Approach to Coaching & ConsultingThey'll explore how to recognize and work with the underlying dynamics that shape behavior and culture in organizations to bring greater depth and impact to your work.Register for free here 👉https://traumainformedcertificateprogram.com/eventThomas 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.

This week, Thomas sits down with celebrated speaker, posthumanist thinker, poet, teacher, and author, Bayo Akomolafe, for a philosophical and spiritual exploration into how we understand reality and the radical perception shifts and awakenings that are necessary for true social transformation to become possible.In his uniquely poetic way, Bayo interrogates traditional solutions to social and ecological problems that only uphold harmful norms, and offers that real change is brought about through what he calls “cracks”—disruptions to systems and modes of thinking that inspire new ideas instead of trying to bring about change via the ineffective paths that are already built into our failing social structures.He and Thomas discuss the discomfort that comes with ushering in new realities, and how important it is that we lean in to this uncomfortable uncertainty, embrace radical compassion, and rethink our relationship to the more-than-human world.✨ Watch the video version of this episode on YouTube:👉 https://youtu.be/U7kgPzozjlYVideo episodes are typically posted at 8am PT/ 11am ET✨ Bayo Akomolafe is a widely celebrated international speaker, posthumanist thinker, poet, teacher, public intellectual, essayist, and author of books including These Wilds Beyond our Fences: Letters to My Daughter on Humanity’s Search for Home and We Will Tell our Own Story: The Lions of Africa Speak.

A spiritual teaching on becoming intimate with your authentic inner self. Discussions on how distancing from presence shows up in body, relationships, and culture. Exploration of triggers, aspiration versus avoidance, and how striving for an ideal can block intimacy. Guidance on using presence, meditation, and curiosity to reveal past patterns and open new possibilities.

Jack Kornfield, a trained Buddhist monk and psychologist who helped bring mindfulness West, shares tales from his new book. He explores elderhood, the healing power of small compassionate acts, using stories to open hearts. Conversations touch on trauma, sacred pauses that shift lives, and ways ordinary encounters and rituals can mend collective suffering.

This week, Thomas sits down with law professor and Director of the Othering and Belonging Institute, john a. powell, for a deep examination of humans’ tendency to become divided, and how the narratives we construct around fearing other groups are actually a symptom of our fundamental drive for connection. They explore how our capacity for connection and community, driven by culture and storytelling, can produce divisiveness, and how we can use these same capacities to increase our empathy for suffering, deepen our embodiment, and overcome the fear, anxiety, and disconnect that result from collective trauma.This is a deep dive into the social and cultural drivers of disconnection, and an inspiring look at how we can tap into our spiritual and ancestral resources to bridge the divides that keep us stuck repeating the harmful patterns of the past.✨ Watch the video version of this episode on YouTube:👉 https://youtu.be/dFtytUEwFsgVideo episodes are typically posted at 8am PT/ 11am ET✨ Order Thomas and Dr. Richard Schwartz's co-authored book, Releasing Our Burdens, here:👉 https://www.releasingourburdens.com✨ john a. powell is Director of the Othering and Belonging Institute and Professor of Law, African American, and Ethnic Studies at UC Berkeley.
