Abstract
Peoples' engagement with space and place is explored in this paper through the description of, and reflection upon, experiences of visiting a tiny island in the Scottish Hebrides, which has been described as a “thin place,” referring to the thinness of the boundary between this world and the spiritual world. Combining narrative practice and auto-ethnography, elements of stories are presented and situated within a framework influenced by Celtic spirituality and post-modern geography. These preliminary findings from this exploratory study contribute to the literature that suggests integrating spirituality and the nonhuman environment into social work and narrative practices.
