Whether it’s a NYC urban bathhouse becoming a “hot new party place,” an outdoor sauna on a UK beach being dubbed the “new pub,” or bathhouses in China fully decked out with cinemas, mahjong areas, and karaoke, saunas are becoming the new social wellness hubs. Social saunas and bathhouses are fast emerging as a remedy to some key issues: the loneliness and mental health crises; young generations seeking alcohol-free, healthier social experiences; and the need, in an era of so much “wealthy wellness,” for far more affordable, accessible experiences. These new “third spaces” provide a healthy and safe environment for connecting with like-minded people.

I can hardly wait as I am presenting at this conference! My session is entitled, ‘The impact of nature programs in the lives of seniors.’ With mental health concerns hitting all the headlines, spending time in nature is making its way into health and wellness practices worldwide. Physicians are now prescribing time in nature to their patients. Learn about mindfulness in nature; understand the concept; gain insight to the nuances of the practice; and discover the plethora of scientifically proven benefits. It is a simple, straight-forward, safe, inexpensive, and a highly effective way to nurture your mind and body. We will take a close look at how you can bring nature to your senior living/care residents and staff to support their wellbeing in a safe, accessible way. Most of us have experienced the healing effects of spending time outdoors. You may sit at the cottage in the morning with your cup of coffee and watch the sun rise above the lake, listen to the loon call, smell the sweet aroma of the summer breeze and feel the warmth of the coming day. You know, firsthand, how it enlivens your senses and brings joy to your world. This type of program can fulfill your therapeutic recreational goals of: improving physical and cognitive abilities; increasing confidence and self-esteem; fostering greater involvement in the community; improving coping and adaptation skills; enhancing wellbeing; encouraging a greater sense of purpose; fostering a healthy leisure lifestyle; strengthening interpersonal skills and relationships through sharing; and promoting independent functioning within the physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, behavioural and social domains. #walkwithme2024 #mindfulnessinnature #natureimpact
