Abstract:
Today, the modern day man is a slave to his routine, following an illusion pursuing
materialistic wealth while ignoring his mental health. Depression levels and anxiety
levels are sky rocketing. Wellness is often overlooked. A physical pain/ injury is looked
at immediately and taken care of. Whereas mental health is often ignored to the side line.
Keeping the mental health in shape automatically keeps your physical health in check.
The definition for resort is a place that is frequented for holidays or recreation or for a
particular purpose. A wellness resort would be defined as a place that is frequented for
healing session while on a vacation. Healing can be done in many ways. I have
considered yoga, meditation, shinrin-yoku (forest therapy) as my mediums to achieve
wellness in my resort. A general study on biophilic design has been done in order to
have a better understanding of healing that occurs when one spends time with nature.
