Intimate relationship is one of the most challenging and rewarding aspects of our modern life.
It can uplift us with the most incredible feelings of love and connection, or evoke the deeper, unhealed wounds of our shadow.
Whether you’re in an intimate relationship at this moment or not, you undoubtedly know how important a healthy, fulfilling relationship is, and how dramatically it impacts the quality of your life.
Beyond our basic emotional needs to have our relationship “work” and make us feel good, there is a much deeper and more sacred function that it can serve...
If you’re truly committed to living an authentically awakened life, then there is no area more important than your intimate relationship to infuse with enlightened awareness.
It is where “the rubber meets the road” in your spiritual practice.
Like it or not, how you show up day-to-day in your primary relationship is a true measure of your current level of awareness.
It is the karmic microscope, under which all of your personal and your partner’s tendencies – light and dark, beautiful and ugly, sacred and profane – are fully magnified and exposed.
In the light of what is revealed in this laboratory of intimacy, many people can get caught in the trap of trying to “fix” their partner or “improve” their relationship, and unintentionally transform their intimacy into an ongoing therapy session.
This inevitably drains the passion and attraction from what was once a beautiful connection, until it becomes a cordial, but mediocre, friendship. Or worse, frequently it descends into habitual conflict – or even separation.
Even if we are able to avoid these common pitfalls, there are so many pressures on us in our modern world, that we all too often default back into the dysfunctional relational habits that we learned from our parents and our culture – unconsciously acting them out, again and again.
And yet, in those rare and beautiful moments with our partner, we are given glimpses of what our relationship could become if we could only sustain a more heart-centered, awakened state.
What if you could discover how to break free from the unconscious patterns that sabotage your intimacy – and instead, consciously co-create a deeper, more fulfilling relationship that ignites your passion and illuminates your soul?
What would your relationship be like if you could transform your intimacy into a sacred chrysalis for your mutual healing and awakening?
There are few teachers who can answer the questions above with any certainly, let alone, show you the way.
At The Shift Network we are blessed to know one such teacher, who is illuminating a new path into the heart of awakened intimacy.
This exceptional teacher is the renowned mystic and spiritual guide, Thomas Huebl.
If you’ve had the opportunity to study with Thomas, you’ll know what we are referring to, – and if you haven’t have the privilege of studying with him directly yet, then you’re in for a real treat.
Thomas is one of the most brilliant emerging stars in modern spirituality – renowned among both sincere practitioners and thought-leaders alike.
His down-to-earth approach to a holistic spirituality – combined with his uncompromising clarity and relentless commitment to help others fully awaken – makes Thomas one of the most unique and engaging teachers of our time.
Beyond Thomas’ teachings and powerful approach to spiritual transformation in everyday life, he exudes a clarity of presence and transmission in his teachings that is a rare treasure to experience and behold.
Thomas’ intuitive style of teaching and working with others cuts like a laser to the essence of the matter.
Over this 12-week virtual intensive, Thomas will guide you through the core fundamentals and practices of how to authentically awaken THROUGH your intimacy, while engaged in the rigors of everyday life.
In this 12-week transformational intensive, Thomas will guide you through the fundamental spiritual skills and competencies that you’ll need to successfully experience intimacy and sexuality as a powerful catalyst for awakening – which will, in turn, transform the quality of your relationship.
Each weekly, LIVE contemplation and training session will build harmoniously upon the next, so that you’ll develop a complete, holistic understanding of the practices, tools and principles you’ll need to sustain your awakened intimacy in “real life.”
Course sessions are generally on Tuesdays at 5:00 pm US Pacific time. Exceptions: Session 9 meets on Wednesday (11/20), Session 11 meets on Thursday (12/12), and there is NO CLASS on 12/3.
Each class will be rebroadcast on the following day at 9:00 am Pacific time.
In addition to Thomas’s transformative 12-week virtual intensive, you’ll also receive these powerful training sessions with the world’s leading visionaries and teachers. These bonus sessions are being offered to further complement what you’ll learn in the course – and take your understanding and practice to an even deeper level.
In this hour-long dialogue, Thomas is joined by world-renowned integral philosopher Ken Wilber to explore the challenges and opportunities to fully awaken in the 21st century.
These two renowned, evolutionary thought leaders and mystics will provide a unique and in-depth perspective on our spiritual evolution, drawing upon their own extensive experiences and teaching. This intimate conversation between two of the world’s great living spiritual guides is a rare opportunity– and is certain to be a profound and transformative experience for all!
Ken Wilber is the most widely translated academic writer in America, with 25 books, translated into some 30 foreign languages. Ken is an internationally acknowledged leader and the preeminent scholar of the Integral stage of human development – and is widely regarded as the “Einstein of consciousness.”
In this powerful exploration, Thomas and renowned teacher Diane Musho Hamilton explore how we create healthy adult relationships. To be emotionally mature means that we can encompass other perspectives without contracting, even if they contradict our own. In a healthy, adult relationship we learn to balance giving and taking and are aware of our behavioral patterns and how to support these patterns less. We have seen through the game with which we have gained energy from the outside in the form of recognition, affection, tenderness and emotional closeness. What does an adult relationship look like if I have been triggered in my pattern? When and how can I solve it together with my partner, and when do I need help from outside? Join this lively discussion to find out!
Diane Musho Hamilton Sensei is a gifted professional mediator, facilitator, and teacher of Zen and Integral Spirituality. She has been a practitioner of meditation for more than 25 years. Diane facilitates Big Mind Big Heart, a process developed by Genpo Merzel Roshi to help elicit the insights of Zen in Western audiences. She has worked with Ken Wilber and the Integral Institute in Denver, Colorado, since 2004. She is also the co-founder of Two Arrows Zen, a center for Integral and Zen practice in Salt Lake City, Utah with her husband Michael Mugaku Zimmerman.
“Thomas Huebl is a true blessing and valuable mentor whose presence illustrates a deep essence of meaning and purpose. I have studied with many teachers and found his authentic and humble message of wisdom, love, and compassion brought deeper clarity and incentive. I learned how Life and our Creative Source is living within and through us when we are present and wake up. I hold deep gratitude for what I have learned from him. It is now easier to lift the veils of distortion and go within and experience from soul’s source. May we all evolve our experience in these times and serve the greater good using his insights and practices.”
–Jude Steele Santiago, Chile
“Presently, Thomas is ringing all bells and whistles w/ clarity and this blessing need be taken advantage of, at this time in our history. I believe that he and what he allows to flow from his Being to hold problem/solution resolution. This is important for us to tap and grow.”
–Ken Ksiazkiewicz, Jackson, MI
“The higher level of consciousness reached through the course made me stronger for a difficult life situation I had to face recently. The perception of me related to a higher purpose serving the whole, gives me the possibility to let go and to accept what comes in my way. The consciousness allows me to identify with calm and strength and to trust my inner self. This makes me stronger for choices, especially for those which are far from my usual comfort zone or usual patterns.”
–Katrin, Paris, France
“Literally there are no words to express the gratitude and love I have for Thomas’ personal example of living life as One. His entire Authentic Awakening program promotes Oneness without an "other" and now I get it... I mean, I really get it. I feel I made an excellent investment in myself and next week i intend to continue the 7 week program starting with session 1. This information is way too good to let sit in a computer file folder. This is my first experience with Thomas Huebl, it is not my last. Oh, so grateful I am.”
–Kate Guendling, Fayetteville, AR, USA
“Simply being in Thomas’ presence for 7 weeks and applying many of his principles to have an Awakened Life, I have become inspired to make permanent shifts in my level of commitment to access a deeper "home" in my Self and to bring myself forward into life rather than experience the "friction" of resistance. His work is simply awesome...his compassion is palpable! I will continue with my connection with my local contacts from the course & am engaging with the Inner Science group when I visit Berlin next month. Thomas brings us great and necessary work/play skills, involving amazing tools of communication that are practical ways to build relationship on a spiritually focused basis!”
–Lianne, Nanaimo, BC (Canada)
“Taking this course really strengthened my commitment to creating spaces for the Higher WE to incubate, which translated into a lot of movement in that direction. I received a powerful energetic transmission, unequivocal evidence that I am not alone, and a clear articulation of the terrain. I would highly recommend anything that Thomas Huebl offers and I felt the Shift Network did a wonderful job with the course.”
–Cynthia Gramer, Boston Massachusetts USA
“This course provided a great overview of seven core principle of authentic awakening. Thomas is an amazing teacher, a true embodiment of integral spiritual practice who transmits both his knowledge and the energetic essence of what he is teaching. While the teachings were meaningful in and of themselves, it was Thomas’ clear presence, deep listening skills and energetic presence that I most benefitted from. Hard to explain in words but quite powerful and meaningful to me.”
–David Ketter, Port Townsend, WA
“I have been doing deep spiritual work for thirty years. This program has invited my soul to awaken. I can truly express that I see the world and myself in a renewed light. Thomas very gently invites your soul to understand and listen as he shares, "between the thoughts." Questions I have carried for many years were brought to enlightenment through Thomas. I am deeply grateful to have been a student with Thomas.”
–Diane DuPre, Bethlehem, PA USA
“Thomas is a profound Spiritual teacher and delivers his course content with clarity and easily understood dialogue. I felt the course covered what I wanted to learn and flowed nicely from one week to the next. When asked questions, Thomas listened to and answered until each person was completely satisfied before going onto the next question. This course has had a positive impact on my life in that I am learning to listen to others and communicate on a much deeper level. I am also more aware of certain patterns and shadow selves that have been restricting my life and I now have more "tools" to help me transcend them. I recommend this course to anyone who truly wants to expand and grow more spiritually.”
–Anneliese, Lacourse, Ontario, Canada
“I believe the principles of the authentic awakening course are vital to our evolution. I have seen the effects of poor interpersonal communication and subconscious shadows in large government organisations set up to help the public. If we individually wake up and take responsibility to become full we can then truly give and our helping organisations can be transformed.”
–Jill Boucher, Dalat, Vietnam

“What a relief to come across a teacher who is fully holding the transcended space known as enlightenment and also working with people on the personal and interpersonal levels. He has an incredible gift for reading people’s energetic fields and an ability to communicate effectively where the energy is blocked. The whole approach is that the energy field of the gathering is the “higher intelligence,” so the focus of the meetings is not so much on his individual state. This is quite different from a lot of teachers I have met who like to present themselves as the main event rather than a facilitator in co-created field.
“Thomas’s approach opened the door for me to go back and start looking and dealing with areas of the personal development that were stuck, areas that I was not particularly conscious of. Since meeting him I have let go of my fixation with holding onto non-dual states and have become willing to go back and work on personal issues, as a result of this process deeper spaces seem to be continually opening. I am very grateful to have come across this work.”
–Peter
“I felt deeply seen by Thomas: my structure, my shadows and my potential. Under his guidance, I saw that all of it was OK, all of it acceptable, all of it a step towards more development, more integration, more contribution. His approach is direct, intense, yet he knows when to be gentle, patient, where there is a wound or when to respect that the best thing to do now is to stop. He speaks from what is present now. In the sangha he creates around him he teaches and makes us realize that we all have these abilities to deeply see others and open up to be seen. It takes commitment and practice, but that’s why we’re here. Tasting this deep level of connection with myself and with others was a revelation to me. That’s the new humanity I want to be part of and co-create.”
–Marielle
“Thomas Huebl opens the gates of an amazing and powerful WE that is alive and that organically moves where it needs to move tapping with intensity in the Unknown. I feel at home. I deeply resonate with what Thomas is helping us to trust. I profoundly trust in the space he creates to make Creativity, God to express itself through me; with a knowing that I am in the right field where I merge with more of us in a shared commitment to keep evolving, expanding and to keep designing a more evolved, All New Universe. Thomas Huebl is Spirituality in High Definition.”
–Yolanda Valencia
“Thomas shows us what is possible in becoming more authentic, transparent, and how to relate with each other in ways that allow the shadows to be revealed and released. He is an true embodiment of our potential capacities and masterfully guides the group towards greater freedom and human potential. His ability to transmit deep wisdom and facilitate the group field with precision and clarity is truly remarkable. In 5 days many participants gained awareness of shadow material and began to transform in significant ways. The group field was open, playful, and supportive. I have been on the spiritual journey for many years and am a teacher and psychotherapist. I was inspired by Thomas and am grateful to have experienced his teaching.”
–Eva
