Kingshill House has often been described as a space of sanctuary but why is that important?

Kingshill House Creative Centre is a space that people often describe as a sanctuary, somewhere they feel safe and calm, away from the hustle of the real world. But why is that, and why is that so important for the classes, courses, and all the activities that we host here? 

I don't think its any coincidence that the Georgian proportions have a lot to answer for when it comes to providing a calm space, with its high ceilings, gran open rooms, and large windows letting in plenty of light. A calming environment can have a positive effect on a person's mental state. Natural light, high ceilings, and open space can create a feeling of spaciousness, which can help reduce feelings of stress, anxiety, and depression.
Further still, a calm environment can help lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart disease. Studies have shown that people are more productive in bright, airy spaces. The abundance of natural light can help regulate sleep patterns, which can lead to increased focus and productivity during the day.
 
Overall, buildings like Kingshill House provide a calm and tranquil environment that can have a positive impact on the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of the people who use them.

All this is true when it comes to Kingshill House being used as somewhere to boost health and wellbeing, support good mental health and meet new and old friends. Our beautiful therapy room can also be booked for ad hoc and regular hire. The calm and sanctuary-like environment that Kingshill House provides can have positive benefits for individuals seeking therapy by reducing stress, encouraging openness, promoting focus, and enhancing comfort. The therapy room is a space that is free of distractions that can helps individuals to stay focused on the therapy session. When there are no distractions, the individual is more likely to engage in the therapy process and make progress towards their goals. It also gets described as a calm and peaceful environment and this can help to reduce stress levels. When you are in a calm environment, your body responds by slowing down and relaxing, which can make it easier to cope with anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues.
