A Special Invitation from Thomas Hübl
Over the past 14 years, more than 1,000 people have completed the Timeless Wisdom Training, the foundation program for those ready to accelerate their professional and spiritual growth. TWT is also a prerequisite for joining our Collective Trauma Facilitator Certification, a new program that will be offered following TWT.
In prior years, we offered two separate TWT programs: one based in Germany and the other in the United States. For the first time, the upcoming TWT will be a truly global program. We will still organize the program in two geographic “hubs,” but both will run simultaneously, and all participants will come together for global online retreats.
what’s inside the program:

- Four 7-Day In-person Residential Retreats with Thomas Hübl [28 days in retreat]
- Seven Immersive Online Retreats with Thomas Hübl [24 days of retreat]
- Ongoing Mentor Group Meetings
- Members-Only Online Community
- Private Course Portal with downloadable materials
- Certificate of Completion
- Special Bonus Trainings
Timeless Wisdom Training is open to anyone who is deeply committed to their own personal and spiritual growth. The program attracts many professional practitioners—such as therapists, coaches, consultants, educators, healthcare workers, and alternative healers—who also take what they learn and integrate it into their respective fields.
We encourage you to watch the recording of the Introductory Session, and to submit your application if you are interested in being considered for the program, as there will be a limited number of spaces available.
You can find all the details about the curriculum, dates/locations, and the application process on this page. Please also make sure you sign up to watch the free, 3-hour introductory session for more information.
We look forward to welcoming many of you into the next global Timeless Wisdom Training and thank you for being part of our community.
In appreciation,.

Thomas Hübl
Founder, The Academy of Inner Science
P.S. The TWT is our most in-depth program and is only offered every 2-3 years. Enrollment will be limited in order to preserve the intimacy of the group.
Many of us grew up in environments that didn’t teach us about higher consciousness. We didn’t have experimental places where we could be creative, and make mistakes. The Timeless Wisdom Training is your space to do just that.”
Thomas Hübl
Creating Space for Your Conscious growth & Transformation
Timeless Wisdom Training (TWT) is a two-year process designed to help you build relational capacities and learn practical skills, methods, and frameworks that you can apply in your professional field of expertise and bring into your daily life. It is a unique opportunity to enter a safe, supportive container for deep individual and group process work and to develop new levels of competency in self- and co-regulation, trauma integration, group coherence building, and contemplative practices.
Due to the busy nature of our lives, many of us fail to set aside enough time and space for the deep study and inner work that could potentially make a difference.
Being part of TWT means that you set aside periods of time for study, group work, meditation, and implementing new practices. This can then act as a catalyst in your life to help you get unstuck, heal past wounds, and move toward greater levels of integration.
By participating in our upcoming TWT, you make a commitment to yourself and signal to the world you are ready for conscious change and transformation.
Prioritizing your own learning and growth for this concentrated time will enhance your ability to be of service to others.


What’s Inside the Curriculum
The Timeless Wisdom Training is a path of development through personal, collective, and transpersonal levels to activate your potential.
The curriculum for the 2-year training addresses all three dimensions of our being. Each level will build upon the previous one, though the material and practices within each level will be revisited throughout the training.
THE 3 CORE LEVELS OF THE CURRICULUM
At the personal level, we will be doing deep individual awareness building, process and shadow work and examining the nature and effects of trauma in our lives. We will also learn a method called Transparent Communication, a way to translate deep awareness practice into daily life and to become a more grounded and embodied presence in the world.
We will also learn to accurately assess our current level of personal development, maturation and relational development, illuminating the “gaps” in our awareness and uncovering hidden trauma layers.
Some of the topics we will explore include:
- How to understand and embody presence
- Working with energy, space, and structure
- Core Transparent Communication tools
- How to be fully embodied and grounded, even when experiencing strong emotions
- Your relationship to trauma and conditioning
- How your family system affected your emotional and relational development
- Mapping the key milestones in your own maturation process
We will explore the cultural dynamics in which we are embedded, including an examination of collective shadow and trauma. We will also look into and work on the integration of our own ancestral lineage and the intergenerational traumas we may be carrying.
Together we will cultivate a deeper understanding of we-consciousness and we-dynamics, learning how to make and maintain a supportive and coherent group resonance field that can accelerate healing and growth.
Some of the topics we will explore include:
- How to create and maintain a supportive group resonance field
- Understanding the independence of “I” and “We” when doing group process work
- The power of witnessing others’ pain, trauma, and internal processes
- What to do as triggers arise during group work
- The collective shadows and trauma of the culture that you live in and how you participate in them
- How your ancestral lineage was either embedded, disconnected, or uprooted from its place of origin, and how to recover a sense of connection and belonging
- How unintegrated ancestral trauma affects your life today
Throughout the 2-year training, we will explore the development of transpersonal awareness through meditation and contemplation. This will include a week-long silent meditation retreat.
Through personal and group practices, you’ll learn how to create more inner space in your life and develop greater levels of embodiment and spiritual discernment.
Some of the topics we will explore include:
- Presencing practices to create and deepen inner space
- Developing our conscious inner navigation system that receives inner impulses with discernment
- Understanding our subtle anatomy
- Differentiating our own impulses from that of our parents, society, and negative thought-forms
- Developing vertically via receptivity, emergence, and innovation
- Training a capacity of inner connectedness to our higher potential
- Understanding the complexity of vertical and horizontal development
- Practicing a deeper ethical alignment
- Studying deep mystical principles – inner science
- Exploring states of consciousness and levels of awareness (gross, subtle, causal, non-dual)

The Collective Trauma Facilitator Track
For those who are interested, completing TWT is the first step towards becoming part of a global network of trained facilitators that can be actively mobilized to support people in times of crisis.
After completing TWT, established practitioners in the helping professions may apply to continue their studies with Thomas in the Collective Trauma Facilitator (CTF) training. This will be a third year of study, where practitioners will expand their skills in collective trauma integration work and group facilitation.
After the CTF training, an additional 2-year supervision phase is offered for new facilitators to apply their skills in assisting with Collective Trauma Integration Processes (CTIPs), facilitating International Labs, and other projects.
The CTF training will only be open to those who complete TWT, by application, after graduation from the program. Facilitating both small and large groups is a very advanced skill and requires mastery at many different levels. The certification program will offer close supervision and mentorship.
If you intend to pursue the Collective Trauma Facilitator certification after TWT, please indicate this in your application as some spaces will be reserved for those on a CTF track.
“The Timeless Wisdom Training is the primary container and foundation for those who want to accelerate their own personal development and for practitioners interested in eventually becoming facilitators of our more advanced work.”
Thomas Hübl
A Global program with two Groups – U.S. and Europe
When you enroll in TWT, you will choose to join either the U.S. or the European Group.
Each Group will meet separately for in-person retreats:
- The U.S. Group will hold its retreats in the United States, which will be conducted in English with simultaneous translation into Spanish. (Note: Spanish translation will only be provided if at least 20 participants require it).
- The European Group will hold its retreats in Germany, which will be conducted at times in German and at times in English, with simultaneous translation into the other language.
Attendance at the in-person retreats is required.
The two Groups will come together for online retreats, which will be conducted in English with simultaneous translation into Spanish (if at least 20 participants require it) and German.
The U.S. Group intends to include those who live in North and South America, Australia, New Zealand, and parts of Asia.
The European Group intends to include those who live in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and parts of Asia.

View the full training schedule and retreat locations for the European Group
Enrollment will be limited due to venue size and because the nature of the work requires supervision and intimacy. It is anticipated that enrollment of both Groups will reach capacity. Once the program is filled, you will be able to join a waiting list in case there are cancellations.
Who Should Apply
TWT is open to anyone who is deeply committed to their own personal and spiritual growth and to being of service in the world. The program attracts many dedicated professionals such as therapists, coaches, consultants, educators, business leaders, healthcare workers, and alternative healers who also aim to apply what they learn in their respective areas of practice.

Psychotherapists, Social Workers

Healthcare and Healing Practitioners

Business Leaders, Consultants

Educators and Coaches

Mediators and Group Facilitators

Meditation and Mindfulness Practitioners
Be Part of a Supportive Community
Because of the nature and structure of this program, it attracts those who are committed to their own personal growth and to making a difference in the world. Each program calls in a unique group of people who are drawn to support each other in their psychological, emotional, and spiritual development.
Throughout the program, both online and in person, you will have the opportunity to participate in mentor groups, live breakout sessions, and triads with other participants who are on a similar path.
You will both give and receive support and may find that lifetime friendships form that will continue after the training is complete.
The global nature of the program will foster international connections, expanding your potential for collaborative projects and initiatives worldwide. The varied cultural backgrounds among participants bring a richness to the community.
“To create a container for deep transformational work, we must commit to each other. It’s a commitment from me to you, and from you to me. In this commitment we care for each other, and we grow more and more stable in our alignment with the source of life. This nourishing environment is where healing happens.”
“It was really lovely to build connections with other people on a similar path. I felt supported by many people in the community and through triads, practice groups and study groups came to better understand how we realize our purpose in collaborative ways and grow through relationships.”
Susan G., Therapist, San Rafael, CA, USA


about Thomas Hübl
Thomas Hübl is a renowned teacher, author, and international facilitator whose lifelong work integrates the core insights of the great wisdom traditions and mysticism with the discoveries of science. Since the early 2000s, he has been leading large-scale events and courses that focus on the healing and integration of trauma. Participants come from around the world, ranging from members of the public to faculty and staff at Harvard Medical School.
With his wife, Yehudit Sasportas, Thomas founded a non-profit organization, The Pocket Project, that works to support the healing of collective trauma throughout the world. He is the author of Healing Collective Trauma: A Process for Integrating Our Intergenerational and Cultural Wounds, which outlines a methodology called the Collective Trauma Integration Process as a safe framework for guiding groups through collective trauma.
Mentors and Assistants
Thomas will be joined by a team of mentors and teaching assistants (8-10 in each geographic Group) who will lead ongoing mentor groups and teach special topics during the training. See the individual pages for the European Group or the US Group for bios of the assistant team members.
What You’ll Receive in the Program
Four 7-Day In-Person Retreats (28 Days Total Training)
Over the 2-year program, we will come together in person for four intensive 7-day retreats with Thomas. Each retreat day typically includes teaching, Q&A, meditation, movement, and breakout sessions. Thomas will also guide individual process work with the supportive witnessing of the group.
The in-person retreats offer the opportunity to practice together in an environment free of other distractions and to make an embodied connection with Thomas and your fellow participants. A wealth of practical exploration arises directly from interactive dialogue with Thomas and within breakout discussions.
When you enroll in TWT, you will choose to join either the U.S. Group or the European Group. Each Group will meet separately for in-person retreats, and attendance at those retreats is required.
Seven Online Immersive Retreats (24 Days Total Training)
In the time between our in-person retreats each year, Thomas will lead two 4-day and one 3-day online retreats. These will be focused on going deeper into related topics inside the curriculum and for other group process work. They will help you keep and maintain personal and collective momentum on your journey, as well as strengthen and expand our global container for deep study and growth.
During these online intensives, you will experience how to create, maintain and utilize group fields without being together in person. You can attend these retreats from the comfort of your home or wherever you may be. These sessions will also include breakout groups and interaction with other participants in the program. There will also be opportunities for interactive Q&A between Thomas and the participants.
Both the U.S. and European Groups attend these online retreats together, which are taught in English with simultaneous translation into German and Spanish. (Note: Spanish translation will only be provided if at least 20 participants require it.)
Mentor Groups
Throughout the program, you will be part of a smaller group that is guided by one of Thomas’s trained assistants. Your group will meet during retreats and may also meet between sessions. The mentor group is your more intimate “home base,” where you will deepen your own processes and integration.
In these group meeting you’ll be able to ask questions, engage in a discussion of the course materials, talk with other participants in small breakout groups of 3-6 people, share your own experiences and learnings with others, and give and receive support as you go through program.
Private Course Portal for Access to Recorded Content and Course Materials
You will receive a personal login to an easy-to-use website where you can access all of the TWT course materials and download recordings.
Members-Only Online Community
You will have access to an exclusive online community where you can stay connected with fellow TWT participants, share your experiences and insights, be inspired by the reflections of others, and initiate new connections and projects.
Certificate of Completion
Upon graduation, you will receive a Certificate of Completion from the Academy of Inner Science.
Special Bonuses
You will be given access to the complete Art of Transparent Communication online course (14 hours of teachings), as well as other recorded content to supplement your learning throughout the program.

There will also be opportunities for interactive Q&A between Thomas and the participants.
Thomas’ teaching during the online retreats will be conducted in English with simultaneous translation into German and Spanish. (Note: Spanish translation will only be provided if at least 20 participants require it.)
There will also be parts of the day where students gather in mentor and breakout sessions which are organized by language.
Throughout the program, you will be part of a smaller mentor group that is guided by one of Thomas’s trained assistants. Your group will meet during retreats and may also meet between sessions, approximately once per month. The mentor group is your more intimate “home base,” where you will deepen your own processes and integration.
In these meetings you’ll be able to ask questions, engage in a discussion of the course materials, talk with other participants in small breakout groups of 3-6 people, share your own experiences and learnings with others, and give and receive support as you go through the program. Students are also expected to meditate daily.
Where available, some students also participate in local in-person practice groups. Many TWT students also enroll in Thomas’s online classes to deepen their learning and their connection to the wider global sangha.
No. Students must commit to attending all days of every retreat. If there is an emergency or an extremely important personal or professional conflict, students may request permission to miss a maximum of two and a half days per year.
If a student is unable to travel to one of the in-person retreats due to extreme events beyond their control such as Covid-19 and other related pandemics, natural disasters, government travel restrictions, criminal or terrorist acts, etc., then accommodations will be made for the student to attend the retreat via internet connection.
Before applying for the Timeless Wisdom Training we ask that you either attend the free online Introductory Session with Thomas or watch the recording.
Those who are new to Thomas Hübl’s work, and those who would like a deeper introduction to determine whether the program is right for them, should register to attend a 2-day introductory workshop with Thomas. Two workshops will be offered:

Once your application has been received and reviewed, you will be asked to schedule an online interview with a member of the TWT Assistant team.
The application and interview process are designed to clarify whether the program is a good fit for the applicant at this time in their life’s journey. Given the level of commitment required, it is important that the student’s life circumstances will allow them to fully participate and benefit from the program.
We expect that most applications will be reviewed and interviews completed within 6-8 weeks of submission. Applicants will be accepted on a rolling basis until the program is full. The U.S. and European Group will each accept around 200 participants.
Tuition information and payment options can be found above. In addition, students must pay for their own food and lodging at the retreat center as well as any travel expenses for the in-person retreats.
All students are required to stay at the retreat center for the in-person retreats, even if they happen to live nearby. This is a very important aspect of building the energetic field throughout the retreat.
When calculating your cost, it is important to also consider the time commitment needed to attend retreats, and how that may affect your income.
A limited number of partial scholarships will be available for qualified applicants based on financial need, to cover tuition expenses only.
When submitting your application for the TWT program, you will be able to indicate whether you would like to apply financial assistance. If so, you will be contacted by a member of our team and be offered the opportunity to submit a scholarship application.
The EU cohort offers a special 50% scholarship for full-time students who are 25 years or younger. Validation of full-time enrollment at a college or university is required (must be a campus-based program).
There are limited spaces in the TWT program, and once it begins, no new students are allowed to join. The closed nature of the TWT allows participants to develop a deep trust and a safe container together. The program demands a high level of commitment and that intensity opens the door for deeper breakthroughs to happen.
It is important for students to be fully committed to the entire program and to plan ahead to make space and time for it during the two-year period. That said, Thomas recognizes that abrupt, significant life changes can occur, and the team works with any student in such a situation to make the best decision under the new circumstances.
After graduation from TWT, students may continue in an ongoing alumni group (Core Group), or take more advanced programs with Thomas, such as the Collective Trauma Facilitator training. Some may qualify to enter an Assistant training program.
Upon completing TWT, established practitioners in the helping professions may apply to continue their studies with Thomas in the Collective Trauma Facilitator (CTF) training. This will be a third year of study, where practitioners will expand their skills in collective trauma integration work and group facilitation.
After the CTF training, an additional 2-year supervision phase is offered for new facilitators to apply their skills in assisting with Collective Trauma Integration Processes (CTIPs), facilitating International Labs, and other projects.
The CTF training will only be open to those who complete TWT, by application, after graduation from the program. Facilitating both small and large groups is a very advanced skill and requires mastery at many different levels. The certification program will offer close supervision and mentorship.
If you intend to pursue the Collective Trauma Facilitator certification after TWT, please indicate this in your application as some spaces will be reserved for those on a CTF track.
We recommend you attend or watch the recording of the Introductory Session, which will provide an overview of the curriculum and program format. You’ll also hear from mentors and former students and have an opportunity to ask questions.
You are also invited to attend a live Q&A session held in July, 2021. Dates and times for those sessions will be posted soon.
You may also Contact Us via the online form.
