What is Collective Healing?
Podcast Description
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.

Hosted by Kosha Joubert Produced by J’aime Rothbard.
Lots of people talk about ‘healing Earth’. But what if we need Earth to heal us? Could we learn to see beyond a narrowly scientific worldview to embrace more of nature’s mystery?
In this episode, we welcome Tiókasin Ghosthorse, a musician, activist, and author most recently of Earth Mind, which is due to be published in May.
A citizen of the Cheyenne River Lakota Nation of South Dakota, who hosted the longest-running Indigenous affairs radio show in the United States, Tiókasin has long been a leading voice sharing how Indigenous wisdom can cast our personal and planetary challenges in a new light.
Tiókasin speaks with Kosha about how we can learn to transcend a mindset based on separation from nature to come into deeper resonance with the more-than-human world. It’s this process of recognising our essential oneness with life that can open new pathways to wholeness.
The dialogue covers topics including:
- Understanding that nature understands us
- How modern psychology can separate us from Earth
- Experiencing resonance with nature through the body
- Returning to a more intuitive culture
- Ancestors as guides to the ‘ancient future’
- Addressing the legacy of colonial perpetration
- Mycelial consciousness
- Awe and wonder as nature’s “original language”
We hope you enjoy this nourishing dialogue and also offer you these previous episodes featuring carriers of Indigenous wisdom:
