Have you ever felt that you were on the precipice of a sacred experience? Or visited a place that left you with a profound sense of awe or serenity? If so, you’ve had a thin place experience. On today’s episode of the podcast, Dr. Phill Tabb, our first ever guest, is back to talk about his new research on this fascinating and mysterious topic. In this conversation, we define thin places, talk about emotional responses to thin places, and discuss the overlap between thin places and biophilia. Dr. Phillip James Tabb is the Emeritus Professor of Architecture at Texas A&M University. He will present his research on thin places and biophilia at the upcoming Biophilic Leadership Summit, happening April 23rd - 26th in Serenbe. His new book, Thin Place Design: Architecture of the Numinous, comes out this Summer. Show NotesTickets: Biophilic Leadership Summit, April 23 - 26Confirmed Speakers: Biophilic Leadership SummitPre-Order Thin Place Design: Architecture of the Numinous by Dr. Phillip James TabbDr. Keith Critchlow | The Art of Sacred Geometry (Keith Critchlow Legacy)Rudolf Otto and the Numinous (Wikipedia)Awe: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How It Can Transform Your Life by Dacher KeltnerSerenity as a Goal for Nursing Practice by Kay T.
