“The sea has long enchanted human kind – perhaps through its unexplored mystery, awesome power and continual ability to provide useful resources. But Naomi Tolley meets one man who believes our connection runs deeper, and is using it as a focus for therapy.”
I truly believe that places have the ability to empower all of our senses and activate sensory experiences that we often neglect or push aside for other, less important matters. Instead of driving in a car at 55 MPH and watching everything fly by, I often try and walk and observe life at 3 MPH. We don’t realize that places and being present and mindful in those places have the power to heal us on many levels. When we think about how we design places and create experiential memories, let’s not forget the power that we can harness from things that are right in front of us… like the ocean.
