An article I found was āhttps://www.placeofreflection.org/the-design/ā. A landscape architect was hired to design a place of reflection meant for a community space. This project called āThe place of reflectionā won Excellence Award for Landscape Architecture at the Australian Institute for Landscape in 2012. They explain the experience that the place of reflection gives such as, āthe sense of entering a special placeā, āthe symbolic walk ā alone or in company ā along a path that others have taken beforeā and āopportunities to pause for reflection or quiet contemplation before gradually entering back into everyday lifeā. The materials used to build this project were chosen to blend with nature to give a calm quiet vibe. There is even a wheelchair-accessible pathway, with words of inspiration inscribed which provides as said āopportunities for meditative walkingā which is something that can be helpful when reflecting. There are also seating areas where can stop ā reflect and absorb natures sights and soundsā.
