Wellness3.0 + Web3.0

The world is rampaged with separation theology - an “us” versus “them” paradigm that tears us apart from each other and ourselves from within. With non-stop messages of fear from the media and the demands of modern culture, it is no wonder that chronic and mental illness are at all-time highs. In a word, humanity is dis-eased. And, while physicians and pharmacologists do their best to address the symptoms, more and more people are turning to alternative modalities to find relief from the underlying cause - albeit physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual. 

It’s not unfair to lay much of the blame on “mass media" as the innate human draw to art and beauty has been used by Ad Men for almost a century to separate us from our truth (and our money). While advancements in technology have given more opportunity than ever for creators to share their art with the world, social media giants lay claim to their content while algorithms make it difficult for contributors to earn a living through meaningful media that helps people rather than simply triggering their fight or flight response. 

In a day and age where mental health is a real threat to public safety and emotional intelligence is scarcely found amongst our “leaders,” it’s more important than ever that we come together and heal. Heal our bodies. Heal our traumas. Heal our hearts. It was not so long ago that our healers and our artists were the same - the shaman or “medicine man.” 

Beginning with paintings on the walls of caves, and stories told by the campfire, the “touched” among us could facilitate seekers' healing of their wounds (internal and external). It was these “wise ones” we came to for answers that brought us closer to enlightenment - closer to ourselves. And while it’s true that technology, art and medicine have been corrupted, they have also evolved to give us something we’ve never had before… 

From global “meditation days,” to virtual masterminds, and art festivals like Burning Man, seekers from across the world have been coming together to experience, learn, and collaborate. They are forming tribes based not on geography, but philosophy and mutual cause. And as many are losing interest in “social” media that divides us, the emergence of technology that can connect “global tribes” promises to bring us together where even the smallest communities can be thousands strong across the world. 

One such technology is the NFT or “non-fungible token,” made possible by blockchain technology and “smart contracts.” At the forefront of this movement, the Heal.Art project is bringing together HEALERS, ARTISTS, and SEEKERS to contribute to each other: to help one another heal, grow, and transform - and do so profitably. 

We call on all modern mystics - those who have experienced awakenings and those who seek it, those who have gifts to share and healing to receive. We implore the “conscious community” to aid us in “getting there first,” to hold space for transcendental artists and healers to thrive on Web 3.0 in ways Web 2.0 never made possible, and to bring transformation to every corner of the world.

There is no doubt about it - the Metaverse is coming. It is down to us to mould what it looks like. Will we choose more of the same - division, depression, and dis-ease, or will we come together and create something new, overcome our limitations and HEAL?
