RE: Mental Health and the Healing Spaces

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

Coming into purposeful interaction is at the heart of healing. People want a sense of shared space and interaction. Sometimes healing takes two or more people understanding what is going on with them and sharing the experience. We sometimes hide our pain behind masks until we find someone who shares the same pain. The design for healing spaces should account for that. Healing spaces should not limit interaction but amplifies it.

Our society rose from a negative depiction of mental illnesses that result in social stigma. I do hope one day that our world pays equal attention to mental health as to physical health. Architecture and design can make the space welcoming and friendly, but it takes us to walk the vibe. Any space has the potential to affect our mind and emotion that may help us attain better well-being. Our design of spaces matters to how people having mental burdens heal and recovers.

Dear @juecoree, I agree with you! By the way, I want to know where healing spaces exist in the Philippines. What does the healing space look like in the Philippines?

Most yoga studio, spas and vacation ands retreat houses can be healing places if we solely link healing spaces not as the hospital or asylum. Mental and physical wellness centers, hospitals and asylum are all over the country. Some were on the popular gateway in the Philippines.

Here are some few snaps for what healing places look like in PH:
