Collective Effervescence

Shira Gabriel introduces the concept of collective effervescence, a term created by sociologist Émile Durkheim. This refers to a heightened emotional intensity felt when experiencing awe or powerful emotions in a group setting.

• Collective effervescence is the shared energy that brings a sense of unity and connection among people.
• "You amplify the emotion when you experience something awe-inspiring with others. Not only do you feel the awe yourself, but it becomes more meaningful when shared."
