Sacred Places Beyond Earth: Exploring Heaven Across Cultures w/ Tobias Churton | Sacred Places S3E12

In this episode of Seeking Numina: The Sacred Places Podcast, Elyse Welles speaks with renowned scholar and author Tobias Churton about heaven across cultures and time explored in his book Celestial Realms: A History of Heaven Since Before the Dawn of Time.

Together, they explore how cultures across the world have understood heaven, the afterlife, sacred space, spiritual dimensions, and the cosmos — from ancient mythologies and Celtic traditions to Hermeticism, Kabbalah, Gnosticism, Christianity, and modern spiritual thought.

Tobias Churton also shares personal reflections on sacred encounters, mystical experience, the symbolic meaning of heaven, and why humanity continues to search for transcendence across every culture and era.
