The Pocket Project

What The Pocket Project does

The Pocket Project (legally Pocket Project e.V., German registration VR201583) is a non-profit organization founded by Thomas Hübl in 2018 and headquartered in Wardenburg, Germany. It develops trauma-informed training, consulting, research, and social impact programs focused on collective trauma healing rather than individual therapy. The core product portfolio includes the Resilience Program (a 3-phase certification pathway for Resilience Circle Facilitators, with Phase 2 launching July 8, 2026), the self-paced Trauma-Informed Leadership Essentials course, Global Social Witnessing practice series, free Community Calls, and year-long Integration Labs with 30+ global groups. Supporting offerings include regional trauma relief projects (Ukraine, Palestine, Jewish), Practice Groups, Resilience Circles, Regenerative Masterclasses, the Feminine Power Journey, and consultancy/coaching services for organizations. The organization also produces the 'What is Collective Healing?' podcast, maintains a curated Resource Library, and convenes three annual summits (World Women Summit, Climate Consciousness Summit, Collective Trauma Summit).

Revenue comes from four streams: paid course fees (Resilience Program phases, Trauma-Informed Leadership, Regenerative Masterclasses), consulting and coaching services for organizations, donations supporting education and diversity fund scholarships, and paid event/summit access (including Lifetime Access packages). The go-to-market combines a freemium community-led model (free Community Calls and Global Social Witnessing build awareness) with sales-led paid training and enterprise consulting. Distribution is digital-first via online courses and virtual events, with multi-language support across English, German, Ukrainian, Arabic, Jewish, and Spanish, and physical practice groups globally. Research credibility is reinforced through academic partnerships with Helmholtz-Zentrum Munich, University of Luxembourg, University Witten/Herdecke, UN University, RIFS, and the Cynefin Company, including a 2025 epigenetic study and an EU-funded Global Social Witnessing Toolkit. The organization operates with 1-10 employees, is led by founder Thomas Hübl and CEO Kosha Joubert (MSc in Organisational Development), and serves a diversified base of individual practitioners, organizations, and crisis-affected communities across Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and North America.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Search for Common Ground: Large international NGO working on conflict transformation across many countries. Overlaps with Pocket Project on peace-building, post-conflict recovery and trauma in divided societies, but at much greater scale and with a broader policy/programmatic mandate.
• International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC): Global humanitarian organization providing emergency relief and MHPSS services in conflict zones. Comparable through MHPSS for displaced populations in Ukraine, Palestine and elsewhere, but at vastly larger institutional scale.

Direct peers

• Trauma Resource Institute: Non-profit offering trauma-resilience training curricula (TRI model) used by clinicians, educators and community leaders. Comparable as a trauma-informed training and certification provider serving practitioners and organizations.
• Somatic Experiencing Trauma Institute: Training institute founded by Peter Levine offering professional certification in somatic-based trauma therapy. Closely comparable as a trauma-focused training and certification organization serving practitioners.
• Headington Institute: Non-profit providing psychological and spiritual support to humanitarian aid workers and their organizations globally. Comparable focus on equipping humanitarian/relief communities to process trauma — overlapping strongly with Pocket Project's regional Trauma Relief Projects.
• EMDR Institute: Training and credentialing body for EMDR therapy practitioners worldwide. Comparable as a structured, multi-phase training/certification program for trauma practitioners, with a global practitioner network.
• Center for Trauma & Embodiment: Non-profit offering training (Somatic Experiencing, body-based trauma modalities) for clinicians and community workers. Comparable target market (clinicians, social change agents) and training-plus-consulting model.
• Generative Somatics: Non-profit that trains practitioners in somatics and trauma healing, with a similar practitioner-certification model and focus on collective/social dimensions of trauma. Directly comparable in mission, delivery format (training + consulting) and target audience (coaches, organizers, therapists).

Regional players

• Mobius Executive Leadership: Consultancy focused on conscious leadership, embodied practice and organizational transformation. Comparable overlap with Pocket Project's Trauma-Informed Leadership Essentials and enterprise consulting line, though operating primarily in North America.

Emerging players

• Solitary Confinement / Soliya (now part of Our Humanity Network): Organization focused on dialogue and bridging across conflict lines — partial overlap with Pocket Project's Global Social Witnessing and cross-community trauma work, but with a stronger mediated-dialogue technology layer.
