“Your brain doesn’t know the difference between reality and imagination.”
Hearing these words from the wonderful Liv as we settled onto our mats on a quiet Wednesday evening set the tone for what was to come during the Beyond Wellness x IMMERSEE experience. Surrounded by an immersive 360° digital forest, it felt as though the walls dissolved, transporting us into a breathtaking landscape of lush greenery, cascading waters, and majestic mountains. The words of this quote lingered, and their truth became undeniable as the experience unfolded.
Stepping into the room full of lush digital forest, I was struck by how effortlessly my mind and body believed it was real. For 75 minutes, I wasn’t in a studio at The Sustainable City – I was somewhere far away, immersed in peace, stillness, and connection.
The session itself was pure and understated yet incredibly powerful. Beginning with mindful movement to release the day’s tension, we eased into a healing sound meditation that felt like a gentle reset for the soul. The experience ended with grounding breathwork and gratitude practices, tying everything together in the most beautiful way. Liv is truly magical at what she does.
The space was warm and intimate, with flickering candles surrounding the mats and enhancing the tranquil atmosphere. But it was the immersive art that truly elevated the session into something extraordinary. The visuals weren’t just a backdrop; they were part of the experience, gently guiding you deeper into a state of calm. You could almost feel the cool breeze and imagine filling your lungs with clean mountain air.
What makes this event so special is the way it creates a space to quiet the mind, relax the body, and perhaps most importantly step away from the constant rush of life.
Beyond Wellness x IMMERSEE isn’t just about wellness; it’s about stepping into another world, even if only for an hour, and leaving with a profound sense of stillness and clarity.
