This is actually an established sociological theory. Everybody has home (inside) and work (outside) but for mental health we need a Third Place

Important aspects of the Third Place are

  • Informal, playful tone
  • Nobody is required to be here
  • Conversation is the main activity
  • Established regulars maintain the atmosphere and tone and communicate it to newcomers

Examples in the world include bars, barber shops, sewing circles, bingo parlors, game rooms, 90s malls, Elk lodges, book groups, student rec centers, D&D, and Tumblr.
