Zen Den

An understanding that connection to nature leads to wellness is prompting the creation of outdoor relaxation spaces

In 2019 the journal Nature Scientific reported what many already knew intuitively: spending 120 minutes a week in nature, or just 17 minutes per day, can significantly boost happiness and overall well-being. There is a substantial body of research linking green spaces to lower risks of disease, mental health problems, and mortality, and better health and cognitive development in children.

Homeowners are taking note and creating their own, private green spaces, designed for wellness. Meet the Zen Den, an outdoor space purpose-designed for connectedness with nature.
