Context - The Need for Change

Why We Need the Arbor Hub  

In an increasingly urbanized world, many face the challenges of busy lifestyles, social isolation, and diminishing well-being. The World Health Organization emphasizes that health is not just the absence of disease, but a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being. Despite advances in technology, people are feeling more disconnected than ever.

- Physical well-being: Outdoor sports, gardening, walking, and nature immersion  

- Creative Engagement: Music, crafts, and artistic workshops  

- Social Interaction: Group sessions and community involvement  

- Sensory Activation: Experience the beauty of rural aesthetics, from nature to food
