Often in fiction, characters have a habit of using particular spaces for the purpose of contemplation. This space can take any form, be it a rock, a chair, a tree stump, really any designated area used for thinking or meditation. This can overlap with Bad Mood Retreat if the contemplation area is in use for the purpose of overcoming negative emotions. Compare Putting On My Thinking Cap, when a character needs a specific item to think better. Also see Happy Place. |

Clone High: When Abe is upset, he goes to the "Thinking Dock", which is one of two piers on a lake near the school. He usually ends up with company because someone goes and sits on the other pier. | |

On Gilmore Girls, Jess can be found at a small bridge over a pond near Stars Hollow high school when he's upset or needs to think. Hilariously, he chooses this spot after Luke pushes him off of it in annoyance for his surly attitude. Later, it becomes important for Rory, as well, since Jess takes her on a picnic there and she retreats to it when she needs to think about her feelings for him after a humiliating public break-up with her current boyfriend. | |

Star Trek: Picard: The Romulan Reclamation Site provides a Zhal Makh meditation chamber for its Romulan employees. There's a winding path painted on the wooden floor, and around it are lanterns. The participant is expected to walk barefoot along the path which represents the "journey into the center of the mind's most intimate space, where deepest truths are hidden." | |

commodoreHUSTLE: In episode "Critical", Graham Stark is revealed to have a spot where "Sometimes I ... come here to think". As a Visual Gag it is revealed to be looking directly at a wall. It is revealed shortly afterwards to be one of a number of Graham's thinking spots. The gag is repeated as a Call-Back in later episode "Crisis on Infinite Spoilers", only this time Graham's thinking spot is staring directly at the end of a set of shelves. | |

The Four Gospels: Jesus goes to silent, secluded places, far away from crowds and critics, in order to pray and meditate and to have a conversation with his Father. He also tells his disciples to do the same, such as going to their rooms and closing the door. One place where Jesus prayed the night before he was crucified was the Garden of Gethsemane, an olive garden at the foot of the Mount of Olives near Jerusalem. | |

Stampy's Lovely World: The Inspiration Room in Stampy's House served as this to him, to think of new build ideas. He notes in Episode 600, "Town Tour", that he no longer uses it as the room was supposed to contain all the blocks one could have in Minecraft, and since its construction... a lot of blocks have been added to the game. He spends Episode 742, "Something Inspiring", adding an extension to the room which is a lot less cumbersome and actually more inspiring. | |

That, until Yui Yuigahama and Iroha Isshiki started to accompany him there (for his own disdain). Also, when there're no cases to solve, the members of the Service Club use that place to think and rest from the people. | |
