Sensory Space – By Nature

How much time do you spend staring at a screen each day?

The average in the West is 10 hours [according to the Nielsen Total Audience Report, 2016.]

Screen time is linearly associated with increased fatigue, depression, anxiety and poor concentration.

While real is best, when you can’t get away from your computer or deadline, virtual nature also helps. 

Studies before and after exposure to nature (Universities of Yale, Michigan, Essex) prove that time in nature has psychological and physiological benefits: improved attention and cognitive ability, lower stress and blood pressure, better mood and mental health, reduced feelings of isolation and even upticks in empathy and cooperation

why not perk up your tired brain

Our Sensory Space has been designed in collaboration with our fabulous friend Alex Bell*. Created as an antidote to the busy world, it is a space of refreshment, a space where your brain can take a short break, a place of calm, tranquility and re-connection, a space to pause and re-set.

To make things super easy, we’ll pop the link in the comments below. 

When you visit, you’ll find By Nature plus another 7 sensory delights to indulge in. Words cannot do them justice, so we invite you to dive in and find out for yourselves.

“Turn off all distractions. Go full screen. Plug in your headphones. Give your undivided attention!”
