The Monkey and the Moon by Cansy
Jump In: (55,-55)
“Welcome traveler, to serenity's gentle space, In Decentraland's Wellness Week, find tranquility's grace. Engage in the art of arranging with care, And in the tea ceremony, find a moment to spare. Under the moon's soft and watchful eye, Meditate at the mountain peak, reaching the sky. So come, dear traveler, to where calm is a guest, In Decentraland's gardens, find your zen quest. A journey of stillness, of quiet delight, In the heart of serenity, find your light.”
Calm the waters of an interactive meditation pool inspired by Japanese painter Ohara Koson. In this immersive new experience by designer Cansy, you’ll first wander along a Zen garden path, surrounded by bamboo and artfully-arranged stones. As you walk deeper into the garden, you’ll engage in deeply mindful activities from creating spiral patterns in pebbles to participating in reflective tea ceremonies. Your journey will culminate in a meditative experience under the moonlight. “But tell me, did you look the right way, Or did the reflection lead you astray?“

The Music Tower - Art Therapy Game by InceptionFun
Jump In: (53,-70)
Play The Music Tower by InceptionFun, a new platform game for Decentraland Wellness Week designed to use Art Therapy techniques to help players achieve a positive psycho-emotional state. InceptionFun is an R&D team who have been building in Decentraland since 2021. They believe that “Metaverse can be a powerful tool for Art Therapy because it allows people to create and interact with digital art in a shared virtual space. This can create a sense of community and collaboration that is often missing in traditional Art Therapy settings.”
Navigate The Music Tower by jumping between a series of platforms to reach the top. Each platform activates a different section of a musical composition, so you can create your own unique music by choosing a route through the levels. An Art Therapist, optionally present for moderation, can guide players and adjust musical sequences remotely.

Mindful Reflection: The Metaverse Empty Chair Coaching Experience
Jump In: (53,-62)
Experience this transformative collaboration between award-winning architect Negar Hekmati, developer Pooya Panahandeh and a globally-acclaimed Master Certified Coach, Iman Abrishamchi. This unique virtual journey delves into well-being and cognitive defusion, looking at how we can separate our inner voices from our authentic selves.
The Mindful Reflection Pavilion is a twisted cube, symbolizing the complexities of Hekmati’s own personal inner reflections. Each layer of the cube is a facet of the designer's being, creating a transparent and multidimensional structure. A significant portion is deformed, representing the challenging blamer inner voices that often dominate our internal dialogue. We’re encouraged to question what we see, mirroring the transformative nature of the coaching sessions held within.
Join two coaching sessions within the pavilion, one in Farsi, one in English. Led by Iman Abrishamchi, the sessions will guide us through the powerful Gestalt Empty Chair Technique, fostering self-discovery and emotional exploration.

Inner-Avatar Memory Trainer by Proteus
Jump In: (68,-55)
“Tools to train your mid-term memory” Visit the Inner-Avatar Memory Trainer to try new metaverse methods which aim to improve your memory. As designer Proteus explains, “Short-term memory allows us to keep a hold on the current state of the world around us. Long-term memory enables us to better anticipate, important for our survival. In between, is a nebulous entity we call mid-term memory... and while the breadth and potency of this varies greatly from person to person, it appears to be self-contained. Short and long-term memory can be trained with disciplined rote; but for the training of mid-term memory, one must first devise an exercise which can get consciousness out of the equation.”
This Memory Trainer intends to showcase powerful socio-technological tools for memory, including N-Back techniques. Proteus believes that metaverse platforms can not only deliver such exercises, but also incentivise players to continue to engage in memory improvement.

A Little Rain Must: A 3D Experience by warrragwag
Jump In: (55,-58)
A Little Rain Must is a snippet from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem "The Rainy Day", where the complete line reads: "Into each life some rain must fall,". The building rises from the ground via stylised tree-like structures which seemingly carry huge boxes above them. Inside you’ll find four different rooms, each one with a button that recites a Metta mantra:
May I be well.
May I be peaceful.
May I be at ease.
May I be filled with loving kindness.
In the last room, look for a button that playfully describes the exit mechanism. (Tip: Find and click the red box). The interiors are dark at first, then reveal animated walls, portraying stylized waves seemingly on the verge of overwhelming the observer. Yet, amidst the chaos, you remain anchored in your inner sanctum, the Metta mantras resonating like a steady drumbeat in your heart. “The observer sees the world not through fear, but recognizes the interconnectedness of all beings, their shared humanity,” explains artist warragwag. “This meditation is not about escaping the world, but walking steadily amidst its troubles. Know that even in the darkest corners, a light of compassion can always be kindled.”
