If you don’t have a third place—a home away from home and from your workplace—you may feel that something’s missing in your life. Having a third place is important to our well-being.

Going to a retreat such as a club or a cafe to relax and be among like-minded people boosts our mental health and happiness. It benefits individuals and society to have a place for people to gather that provides escape, comfort, and sanctuary.
