We want you to 'touch grass' and grab yourself a matcha with new St Ann's Square pop-up in Manchester
We’re a city that is experiencing a serious amount of burn out, that’s why Bainland Lodge Retreats is bringing a little green relief right to the heart of Manchester.
Bainland Lodge Retreats, said: “Touching grass isn’t just a meme; it’s a movement. A simple reset to recharge your mind, body, and soul. Because nature’s call is louder than any grind. So, let go of the hustle, drop the burnout and embrace the pause. Grass over grind for us, every time.”
They also said: “We asked the nation if they were currently suffering from some level of burnout, from mild burnout that feels manageable to complete burnout that’s having a direct impact on their mental health.
Adding: “Our data found that 54% of the UK is currently burnt out to some degree, with almost 1 in 6 reporting it has an impact on their wellbeing.”
Manchester came third with a score of 43.4 based on an index score out of 100.
Their new campaign also found:
- Almost 3 in 5 (58%) of Manchester residents are currently experiencing some level of burnout right now
- 86% of Mancunians say they would feel uncomfortable approaching their manager about burnout
- Almost 1 in 4 Manchester residents say spending time outdoors helps them to feel more relaxed when experiencing burnout
That’s why they’ve set up a new pop-up in St Ann’s Square on Wednesday 9th and Thursday 10th July from 8 am - 6 pm to encourage Mancunians to ‘touch grass’ and re-connect with nature.
