We are Hong Kong-based community group dedicated to promoting social design and fostering positive change through innovative projects and social entrepreneurship. Driven by a passion for craftsmanship, sustainability, and empowering local communities, we strive to create meaningful products and experiences that not only reflect our unique design aesthetic but also address pressing social and environmental challenges. By combining our expertise in design, social impact, and community engagement, we aim to inspire and empower individuals, businesses, and organizations to embrace the power of design for social good.

Episode 23: Healing Myself 自我療癒

Direct feedback from our summer design justice interns working alongside local activism leaders.

八九月的公眾假期少得可憐，對於打工仔來說，只剩下中秋節的短暫休息日，更別說安排長途旅行放鬆心情了。然而，你不一定要離開城市才能找到內心的平靜！之前我們提到的「城市療癒法」強調，即使不去野外，城市中也能找到治癒心靈的方式。本集將帶大家走我在台灣的療癒路線，探索如何在繁忙的都市中找到屬於自己的安靜角落。

美國地理學家Wilbert Gesler的療癒地景概念指出，療癒不僅限於自然景觀，人為的設計也能促進身心健康。而除了在台灣的療癒路線，在香港是否也能找到類似的療癒場所？Making On Loft作為HK Art Centre轉角項目「社群共創實驗室」的推手，亦準備了一些在大角咀的療癒地方讓大家參考，同時也正在收集大家在大角咀的療癒路線，大家可以密切關注，一起來參與這個項目！
