In this episode of "Interviews with Innocence," host Marla Hughes is joined by Dr. Kate Adams, a distinguished Professor of Education from the UK and an internationally recognized researcher in children’s spirituality. Dr. Adams has dedicated over two decades to exploring the profound spiritual experiences of children, from dreams they believe are divinely inspired to their interactions with invisible friends.
Throughout her career, Dr. Adams has been captivated by the insights shared by children, which have often been overlooked or dismissed as mere imagination by adults. These experiences led her to author influential works such as Unseen Worlds: Looking through the Lens of Childhood and to serve on prestigious boards like the International Association for the Study of Dreams and the International Association for Children’s Spirituality.
In our conversation, Dr. Adams will discuss her latest research focusing on how adults remember their childhood imaginary friends, and the broader implications of these memories. We'll also cover why it's vital to acknowledge and understand these spiritual dimensions to truly appreciate the depth and richness of children's inner lives.
