Curated Places

Places to come undone

A slow list of restorative escapes across Northern California, hot springs, coastal trails, and unhurried stays, chosen for how the body responds, not how they photograph.

The Anchors are being collected into one thing: The Bay Area Restorative Anchors Map. A nervous system map of the Bay Area, disguised as a travel guide: where to stand down, soak, walk, sit still, and be left alone. Six kinds of places: stay, move, nourish, pause, soak, gather. It is being built in public, one Anchor at a time. The list hears first when it opens.
