kodama
healing retreat
The name “kodama” is derived from Japanese forest spirits. in traditional folklore these small pebble -like creatures look after the trees and have been known to heal weary travelers. They are seen as a symbol of good luck and longevity. the logo picturing an old and gnarled tree represents an unhurried journey to healthfulness.

shinrin yoku Concept
v. (sheen-reen-yo-koo) :"FOREST BATHING" visiting the FOREST FOR IT’S restorative and HEALING BENEFITS .
Shinrin Yoku was first coined as a healing regimen in the 1980’s, and has continued to be a practice widely used in holistic medicine today. The instructions are simple, go to a forested area and wander. Smell the aromas of the trees and listen to the water of the streams, let the sights, sounds and smells of nature wash over you. It has been proven that even fifteen minutes in nature leads to a decrease in blood pressure and stress, and improvement in concentration and mental clarity. The design of Kodama Healing Retreat harnesses these benefits with living plants, raw and natural finishes and a floor plan void of dead-ends for ease of navigation. The modern simplicity of Kodama is derived from traditional Japanese architecture and design.

YOGA CANOPY
The ceiling design in the yoga studio was derived from a phenomenon called “crown shyness” that happens when the canopies of trees avoid touching each other. This Creates river-like spaces where the sky peaks through the forest canopy. in kodama, glowing orbs take the place of the sky.
