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 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
