8. Karin Austin—The challenges of contact

hidden experience audio

Karin Austin is presently the Executive Director of the John E. Mack Institute, but a quarter of a century ago she worked with Dr. John Mack to try to understand her contact experiences. In this episode, we dig deep into Dr. Mack's role in this mystery, and also the challenges of what it means to experience something so profoundly strange that it might be impossible to truly understand what that means.
She is also working with Rice University as the project manager for the Archives of The Impossible, where she works with Professor Jeffrey Kripal, who should be no stranger to anyone who has made it to this page.

Karin is a thoughtful and passionate voice for the experiencer community. She has worked to share her own deeply personal and complex memories in ways that can be understood, and that can—hopefully—change our world.
