I spoke about the concept of creating and spending time in healing spaces at the 2022 FDRS Conference. Healing spaces are specifically designed to have a therapeutic effect, including reducing stress and improving recovery and well-being. Nature can be a healing space as well, and bringing elements of nature inside can be one aspect of creating a healing space.
A Special Issue of “Healing Spaces: Designing Physical Environments to Optimize Health, Wellbeing and Performance” published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (IJERPH) features research on the effects of green space in communities as well as the importance of acoustic environments to persons with dementia.
