The Verse

The Verse is a network of communities that explore transformation and growth. Guided by our "verse building in the open" mantra, we cultivate an ecology of practices to reimagine a shift in consciousness. We have three areas of focus: art, gaming,and education. Art - collecting, crowdsourcing, curating art around transformational themes (awe, prosociality - aka “tend and befriend”, perspective taking, empathy) Positive Gaming - building game mechanics that gamify mindfulness, contemplation, and prosociality. Building tool sets that measure the impact of our game mechanics on wellbeing, mental health, and consciousness. Education - an emergent model of learning and action based around the central themes of systems, play and design. [Gaming Literacy] Our distributed structure enables The Verse to organize around smaller, focused nodes of interest that incubate experimental initiatives, while the wider network develops and organizes activities that have a broader scope.
