What did we explore in this Lab?

We explored layers in the health care system (HCS) that are mute, frozen, unseen, or excluded to become more aware and conscious of their effects. These effects may be hindering the development of the HCS to a level where there is abundance and safety in the system, where life and healing are at the center.

Who was invited to participate?

People who have a sense that something is not quite right with the healthcare system and want to explore that in a group. People who have worked on their traumas regarding personal experiences in the HCS - therapy in one-on-one and group work. People who have experience in transparent communication and commit to 12 meetings to explore unconscious collective areas together.<br />

More about the journey of the Lab:

In the first meetings, we practiced presencing, 3-sync, attunement, self-, and coregulation. We established a felt sense of our group field and explored sources of resilience (personal, ancestral, cultural). We met discrepancies in information and worldviews as part of the process and touched on resistance. Besides listening to individual voices we met in triads to digest. We shared how we are touched by connecting to the area of collective trauma we explored. We allowed the shadows to emerge in a shared space and brought in awareness so that the possibility for integration arises.<br /> <br /> We started out with a group of 22 participants and completed with 13 participants. We met for 12 group sessions, and an additional session for the explanation of the Triad-work from January to October 2024.<br />

Stages of our Progress as a Group

Synchronising & Resourcing
Synchronising & Resourcing

The first 2 meetings we used to synchronise our group space and to bring resources into our shared group space. We did this with guided meditations and attunement exercises, explanation of our journey, building a safe space, connecting to our motivation for the lab-journey and connecting to personal resources. We split the group into triads so that everyone could practise, share and connect together between meetings.

Every meeting we started with a guided meditation and with some time connecting and attuning to each other.

Meeting the Collective Trauma Landscape
Meeting the Collective Trauma Landscape

With guided meditations and connecting to the personal motivation to participate in the specific lab we connected then to our topic. Then we started with the specific topic of trauma around the topic of birth in the healthcare system. From there we tracked the energy in the group field and contacted each of the topics that emerged.

Exploring Individual & Collective Conditioning
Exploring Individual & Collective Conditioning

We heard individual voices from the group and their cultural background and environment was tangible. As we had members from different countries and continents in the group, we were able to feel and explore the different dynamics but also commonalities together. The small group work during the sessions allowed everyone to interact with each other. Afterwards, we collected the various results via voices from the field and chat contributions and shared them in the group. Personal processes were shared in the group and we felt together that these also contained collective levels.

Listening to Ancestral Roots & Voices from the Field
Listening to Ancestral Roots & Voices from the Field

Over the summer break, we opened a Google document where everyone could fill in and research their background in the HCS and the history of their country or culture on the topic. The triad work also focussed on researching ancestors and the cultural environment. Then we collected the important voices together in the next sessions. Again and again, collective voices from the field came to the surface and touched our group members very deeply. In the group chat, we were able to collect the essence and feel it together.

Integrating & Restoring
Integrating & Restoring

While insights were shared by participants, some of the group participants were very touched. There was often an opening of the heart palpable, emotions began to flow and through the process guidance of a group leader we felt that the group field felt more coherent afterwards. In the last two meetings, the group was more alert, lively and full of ideas. Suggestions came from the group for improvements in the area they were working on. There were creative impulses and stimuli to loosen things up, such as physical exercises or dancing. Participants were grateful for the depth and deepening of our relational field, which became stronger and stronger during our lab journey.

Transforming & Meta-learning
Transforming & Meta-learning

We heard some voices of people who shared personal changes, who experienced personal healing, that new projects that emerged in their environment, started on their own personal healing journey via therapy or it became clear that they lost their voice in the patriarchal aspect of the HCS and she realized that with their whole being after the completion of the Lab.
The most important thing for most participants was the change in their relatedness. Most were very grateful that we were able to meet and see each other so deeply, show our deep wounds and invite healing.

Creating a space where you can be seen and really relate to each other is heart-warming. In this open and deeply attuned state of connection, the divine light can flow in and integration and healing can occur. These processes were very touching for us.

Moments of Challenge

  • One participant, mainly German-speaking, resisted everything from the start—criticizing each step, making accusations, and wanting to leave. Meeting her outside sessions revealed she lacked resources for the work and was projecting personal shadows and resistance onto the group process.
  • We learned that Language, resources, ancestry, and time deeply impact collective process work. Participants need to understand the group language, have solid inner resources, and the field of ancestry must be included. Also, longer sessions are essential for depth, presence, and integration.
  • After a birth meditation, one participant was triggered and criticized the guidance. Resistance arose individually and collectively. Support roles hadn’t yet activated, causing confusion. Clarification followed. Ancestral wounds surfaced, revealing deep personal hurt many experienced through the HCS
  • Some participants recognized growth through triggers, while others felt insecure and took time to regain trust. We learned to adapt meditations, stay attuned to sensitivity, and involve participants. This was intense learning for Michael. Later, meditations brought more coherence.

Moments of Grace

  • We experienced moments of grace when hearts opened, and deep connection touched the group. As we felt seen, intimacy grew, and the room became brighter and clearer. Gratitude emerged naturally, strengthening the bond between us and enhancing the energy in the field.
  • A person processed material related to birth, and in the interaction, aspects of her family system and broader HCS context were digested. This unfolded in the moment, connecting us to ethics and the Divine, without any preformed concept guiding the experience.
  • Every moment when I dealt with the group and the group process was a moment of grace, as there was a self-establishing vertical connection all the time.

Insights

  • It was great that we had planned, prepared and structured the trip well together in the Lab-team and ist was important that Beate Küchle took on the technical and therapeutic support together with Nana Gravesen.
  • Leading the meditation during the Lab meetings was a very enriching experience. Important was to deepen the experience of being in contact with the group and the group energy while guiding the meditation.
  • Taking a lot of time to feel the group energy and coherence again and again and to synchronize ourselves was very important to make the collective themes tangible.
  • To stay in contact with silent, frozen layers was important. Then we could feel that after some time, these layers began to melt, hearts opened up and more intimacy developed between the Lab participants.
  • In the end our group field felt more open, more intimate, gratitude for our journey and new impulses such as movement proposals came from the participants into the group.
  • Our hearts became very wide, some wounds have been allowed to heal, a great sense of gratitude and connection to God is tangible.
  • The need of more time to go deeper und contact more resistance and work with criticism

"I have lived with a feeling of deep isolation and aloneness which I think at its core is the result of not experiencing interpersonal attunement on a particular energetic frequency since birth. One of my lab leaders met me in that young tender open place in my heart before the trauma of disconnection and I felt seen and felt and appreciated and at peace in my essence with a other who felt like me which was very healing."

"Transformative, connecting, worth it all the way ! Inspires hope and cultivates practices for reviving human nature and spirit through “collective witnessing”.

I have gained deep insights into the complexity of the shadows in the healthcare system. These can be seen and felt everywhere every day. Every country & every region has its own dynamics and shadows from its history. However, coming to terms with this is very exciting & changes my work. Becoming aware of these shadows together enables me to no longer act helplessly within the system. Together we can support and enable change to happen. Synchronization, coherence, space & time now feel different

"I realized trauma is deep and pervasive. I learned that even those with lots of training in the health field plus with Thomas Hübl, can have a spiritual bypassing, disassociated bodies that seems frozen, fawning and not noticing any dissonance...... My most connected, alive moment in the lab was when me and another participant suggested us to dance and stretch."

"A feeling of energetic connection and healing was very strong after one session, quite a mystery at the time but I think I understand it more now"

"An early trauma of energetic lack of attunement and disconnect was triggered when one of the Lab leaders asked me how I was feeling during something I was sharing with the group. I felt extremely vulnerable and quite confused and thought i was going to lose consciousness/ pass out who was the original trauma i now see. Shame arose strongly around a trauma I wasn't very clear about at the time and am gradually gaining more clarity about in my own time."
