Hi everyone 💜 Welcome… I am so excited you are here. You are now part of something truly special, a space where we are going to move, create, heal, and grow together through immersive experiences in VR. This community was created from my heart and from years of seeing how powerful this work can be not just for the body, but for the mind, creativity, and overall transformation. ✨ To get started, please watch our Welcome Video: Welcome Video: Welcome to My NEW Skool Community 💜 Step Into VR Wellness for Your Mind, Body & Creative Spirit https://youtu.be/lYjqPefYyuQ?si=5jWGYSC06aw7YDzC This video will give you a feel for what we’re building together and how you can begin your journey inside the community. Inside this space, you can look forward to: 🌊 VR workouts, movement, and flow experiences 🧠 Mindfulness, meditation, and nervous system support 🎨 Creative practices and expression 💬 Connection with others on a similar path 🦋 Real transformation — one step at a time This is a safe, supportive, and inspiring space and each one of you is an important part of it. ✨ To begin, I invite you to: • Introduce yourself in the community • Share one thing you’re excited about • Let us know your experience level with VR I’ll be guiding, creating, and connecting with you along the way and I truly can’t wait to meet each of you. Let’s build something magical together 💫 With gratitude, Jacqueline Drake Director of Creative & Immersive Therapies Drake Center – For Transformative Healing of the Mind, Body & Creative Spirit

I want to share a special episode I was honored to be part of on Crypto City, hosted by the incredible City Girl ✨ What made this conversation unique is that it happened avatar to avatar in a fully immersive environment—I appeared as a mermaid 🧜‍♀️ (gamer tag mermaiddancer), which felt like the perfect expression of the work I do at the intersection of healing, creativity, and immersive technology. In this episode, we explored: - How healing in VR and immersive therapies can support mental health, regulation, and transformation - The ways I use immersive experiences in my work at The Drake Center, especially in psychedelic integration and ongoing wellness support - How art, movement, and creativity become powerful tools for integration and nervous system healing - The stories behind my art, clothing lines, and books, and how they all connect to embodiment, identity, and self-expression This conversation really reflects what we explore together in this community—how new technologies can be used intentionally to support healing, creativity, and personal growth, not escape. I’m grateful to Crypto City for creating such a forward-thinking, imaginative space for these conversations. If you’re curious about the future of immersive healing and how these tools can be woven into real-world practice, I think you’ll enjoy this one 🌊✨ 💬 I’d love to hear your thoughts after you watch—especially what sparked curiosity or new questions https://youtu.be/i9_3toVI0Fk?si=nlpYXH5K-qRM9BKi
