Designing a Safe Space for Recovery

So, I I come from a a little bit of a uh a punk background, if you will. I spent quite a few years after I graduated from college while I was cultivating my alcoholism, really living in the the punk music [music] scene, working in the punk music scene. I I did love the value though of going [music] against the grain when it was in fact skillful. And so, I wanted to do that from the very beginning at the living room. I wanted to design it in a way [music] that invited people into a sense of safety with or without their mind's agreement [music] regardless of what folks are are thinking about. The body itself is invited [music] into a state of safety when someone walks into the living room. And the way that we did that was by using colors [music] that do that, by using visual stimulants that do that, by having accutramans and artifacts around that just spark curiosity. [music] Curiosity is an energy that we as human beings have access to at all times. Even in a [music] state of of real crisis. And so anywhere you go in the living room with or without your permission, [music] your body is invited into a state of safety. Your mind is invited into the experience [music] of curiosity. The only consistent contributor to the [music] therapeutic experience is the physical space. So why not make that physical space a [music] benevolent contributor? Why not have it offer something good? And that's [music] what the living room does. It's a space that you want to be in.
