Since the summer of 1983 when Thomas Houlon created Spirit of the Senses, this Phoenix based organization has created more than several thousand art, science and cultural experiences called the salons, which are candid conversations with creative individuals on their work and ideas.

Under the direction of Thomas Houlon and Patty Barnes, Spirit of the Senses provides a means to exchange ideas, question opinions, wonder about new possibilities, learn about our world, and appreciate the visual and performing arts.

Spirit of the Senses salons are livestreamed online using Zoom or in-person salon experiences in the Phoenix area.

The salons are stimulating conversations and performances with people ideas in the arts and sciences, philosophy, medicine and law, and leaders of culture and society.

Members have the opportunity in real time to ask questions and become engaged with fascinating people from around the World.
