...With Biophilic Design
Following our amazing episode with Serenbe’s founder, We bring in the master planner behind Serenbe and other beautiful and sustainably-designed spaces. Dr. Phillip Tabb is one of the world's experts in sustainable community planning as well as biophillic urbanism, a model of design that embraces humans tendency to want to live in communion with nature. Our conversation starts off with gaining a deeper understanding of why biophilic design is an important aspect of moving towards a greener tomorrow, and ends with how we can influence our own places and spheres of influence to become more in communion with nature. A conversation rooted in belonging, healing, and co-creating the garden of eden together.

“My vision for the future is that the places in which we live throughout the entire the world are sensitive to the life forces of the entire planet. That we live more modestly, more generously, more lovingly towards the planet and one another. And that a large part of our physical environments are transformed into much more beautiful, sustainable and nature-directed places.”
