Space Shamanism: Using Salutogenesis in Your Work
I am a space shaman- you can be too (maybe you already are). In this Episode, I discuss the healing power of design and why we all need to offer more wellness resources to the users of our buildings.
In today's pandemic-ridden world, stress levels are higher than ever. How can we offer restorative environments:
Be committed to learning about salutogenic measures we can take and how stress affects people. Take the opportunity to talk about it when ever you can, even if your delivery sn't perfect, you are advancing this important cause.
Think of yourself as a shaman, diagnosing the needs of users and offering spatial elements as medicine. Whether it's enhanced sense of coherence, the safety of prospect and refuge, the resonance of biophilia, the empowerment of self efficacy or the restoration of the relaxation response.
Pick a current project and think about how you could introduce three salutogenic elements into it today to help people move towards wellness. These can be small moves, everything counts.
