Wellness retreat Goa

Abstract

Wellness is the state of being in good health more holistically and continuing the practices that maintain this state of good health. Being aware of oneself and making decisions that lead to a happy and healthy life constitutes the active process of wellness. Our lifestyle largely depends on the kind of environment we live in, both built and unbuilt. There are many tangibles and intangible parameterize quality of built and unbuilt spaces. The dominant paradigm of design and development of the modern built environment is one of the biggest barriers to having a positive experience of nature today. This is particularly problematic because, even though in the natural world, our current "natural habitat"—where we spend 90% of our time—is largely an indoor built environment. People's health and fitness still depend on beneficial contact with nature, but it has become increasingly difficult to achieve this in the today’s-built environment. The key to an individual’s well-being largely depends on their physical environment and their understanding of how they can move through that environment.
