Feelings of being removed from everyday life and feelings of being connected to it are both central to what makes a place therapeutic. This paper explores where those feelings come from, using detailed observations from Buddhist meditation retreats, walking groups, and conservation volunteering groups. The findings show that both removal and connection are tied to people's ordinary lives, identities, and backgrounds, and that these feelings occur together, not separately.
