Healing in the Metaverse: Immersive Therapy, Art, and the Future of Wellness
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 environmentāI appeared as a mermaid š§āāļø (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 communityāhow new technologies can be used intentionally to support healing, creativity, and personal growth, not escape. Iām grateful to Crypto City for creating such a forward-thinking, imaginative space for these conversations. If youāre curious about the future of immersive healing and how these tools can be woven into real-world practice, I think youāll enjoy this one šāØ š¬ Iād love to hear your thoughts after you watchāespecially what sparked curiosity or new questions https://youtu.be/i9_3toVI0Fk?si=nlpYXH5K-qRM9BKi
