Ever felt weary in a dull, grey office? Touched a piece of handcrafted wood and felt a strange sense of connection? Wondered why a bottle of earthworm medicine from the 1700s is significant? Our guest, Sally Coulthard, has! A best-selling author and columnist who explores the fascinating world of biophilic design, craft, and curious objects from history.
We start by looking into the intriguing territory of biophilic design. Sally throws light on how our built environment impacts us physiologically and why it's critical to blend nature with design for our overall well-being. We also discuss the surprising ways in which neuroscience and aesthetics can come together to create spaces that inspire and uplift. We delve into why play in nature is vital for children and how it can cultivate a generation of eco-conscious adults.
Transitioning from our homes to history, we journey through the fascinating world of craft. Sally uncovers the ancient art of wool and shearing, its impact on civilizations, and the potential of craft to build community, promote sustainability, and benefit mental health in our modern world. We also peel back the layers of our past to reveal enchanting stories of objects used for healing and soil health. From an earthworm medicine bottle to entombing cats in timber-framed houses, we unveil how human culture has eerily remained constant over millennia. So, why wait? Join us on this captivating exploration of the intimate relationship between us, our surroundings, and the natural world.
