  Gary Raucher

  Gary’s life and work weave together threads from the arts, healing, spirituality, and education. A licensed Marriage Family Therapist, he has been both a psychotherapy practitioner and educator, having taught Drama Therapy within the Master of Counseling Psychology Program at the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) San Francisco for 18 years. He has also studied energy and body-based healing practices, and has certifications as a teacher of Authentic Reiki®, therapeutic body work and as a meditation teacher within a Western Esoteric Wisdom school. Gary has been studying intensively with Thomas Hübl since 2020, and finds that, for him, this work provides distinct pathways for Inner Light to express its purpose in embodied action. Gary is currently serving on the mentorship team for The Practice Group Leadership Training, and as an Assistant for The Timeless Wisdom Training.

  Deborah Roos

  Deborah grew up in the Pacific Northwest (Canada) in a small culturally diverse coastal community.  Being in nature was an integral and formative part of her life.  She was introduced to yoga and meditation at the age of 17, and has been a practitioner and teacher of both since then.  Her passion as a teacher of youth is to explore our spiritual selves while inviting our natural inclinations and interests to be expressed using visual and performing arts, and through outdoor education. Deborah is recently certified in reflexology and is a graduate of Thomas Hübl’s Practice Leadership Group Training (PLGT), and Timeless Wisdom Training (TWT).

  Karen Forsthoff

  Karen has studied with Thomas since 2019 when she was introduced to Collective Trauma Healing and the Art of Transparent Communication. Feeling a deep resonance with Thomas's mystical teachings, she next enrolled in and completed the Timeless Wisdom Training (TWT) and Practice Group Leadership Training (PGLT) in 2023. These profoundly healing and transformative experiences of deep embodied wisdom and  global interconnectedness inspired her to  enroll in Thomas’s Collective Trauma Facilitation Training (CTFT). Karen’s commitment to contemplative practice, trauma integration, and full-respect living inform her practice as a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist and certified Relational Life Therapist. In alignment with her purpose and renewed inspiration to serve the divine, Karen finds resourcing in her relational connections with family, friends (two and four-legged), trees, water, all that is beautiful, and the joy of play.
