MindWise ‘Wonder Immersives’:
We can often feel busy and overwhelmed, so why not carve out time for one of the following three types of experiences all focused on flow, to invigorate the senses with expansive joy?
MindWise moon garden meditations on the web: These are 30-minute meditation gatherings for relaxation and reverie. Come join live voice-guided meditations, led by Caitlin, in our exclusive MindWise Flow Camp WebXR moon garden, accessible on your web browser.
Immersive Story Workshop on Zoom and in Virtual Reality: Join this spacious and wonder-rich mini-retreat style gathering including teaching about shadow work and storytelling, the darkness and light of the season, connection, and meditation. We will meet in Zoom before transitioning to a VR realm that gets the creative juices flowing, and then travel back again for shared reflection. Join the expansive poetic journey and reframe stories through new practices that invigorate, refresh, and renew. All levels of familiarity with both story and VR are welcome; a VR headset is preferred but not necessary.
MindWise Wonder ‘Story Immersives’: The Story Immersive events are a regular tradition that combines immersive theater, fantasy, ritual, nature and meditation. This is a luminous 90-minute gathering, with a limited run of live shows. Come for awe, mindfulness, mystery, and fun. Our signature event merges wonder and delight for the full senses with storytelling techniques and practices that increase empathy and emotional intelligence. A VR headset is preferred.

“warmly welcoming, inspiring intuition and curiosity”
“beautifully crafted, curated and presented… sheer wonder”
“I felt safe, happy, and filled with wonder and joy”

Learn how Designing Wonder is transforming XR experiences:
Designing Wonder is all about world dreaming and experience building.
As a guide, Caitlin Krause shows how to create XR experiences that have emotional resonance and impact. Talking about The VR Hero’s Journey, applied mindfulness and neuroscience, and Maslow, Bloom, James and more, Caitlin Krause introduces a new framework for how to design meaningful experiences filled with wonder and awe.
Designing Wonder concepts and methodology is about experience design, reaching everyone from corporate training leaders to educators and those who organize social groups in VR. With expert guidance about how to connect and thrive as you design experiences for yourself and others, Caitlin’s accompanying book, Designing Wonder, includes a section of interviews with leaders & researchers in fields of cognitive science, UX and learning design.
These experiences, trainings and readings are filled with ideas and stories that you can apply to your own design, leadership and life. If you’re passionate about VR and XR collaboration, as well as new opportunities in spatial immersive tech, Designing Wonder is created with you in mind.

More about MindWise XR experiences, empowering you to connect with your purpose and presence
MindWise workshops, books, guides and experiences take learning and leadership to new levels. The focus is on honing presence and connection, empowering you to build skills in social-emotional intelligence, compassion, voice and storytelling as vehicles that you can use to transform your work and personal life.
Learn how we can work together 1:1, or how I can lead a training for your team. My recent events included the themes “Leading with Mindful Presence,” “Storytelling and Leadership by Design,” and “XR Collaboration.”
The three prime outcomes are improved relationships, wellbeing, and imagination capacity (the ability to have a creative, innovative mindset). Talk with me to discover how these sessions and methodology can meet your needs in this period of immense complexity and change.
Part of a series of MindWise XR offerings, my immersive training experiences are typically 90-minutes, and apply research-based practices in neuroscience, mindfulness, emotional intelligence, design thinking and storytelling for mastering XR leadership, learning and collaboration.
A note on tech and supported devices: You do not have to have a VR headset device to participate in MindWise XR trainings. Some XR trainings can be in a 2D environment (Zoom, for example), and for VR (virtual reality) experiences, while the experience is best using a HMD (head-mounted device), it’s also possible to join via a 2D desktop (in which case, you will want to use headphones to avoid an echo). I will train you and your team to make sure you’re all set to connect and learn valuable practices!
Feeling grounded, inspired, renewed and centered allows us to have greater capacity to innovate, create, reflect and forge powerful relationships with our teams, collaborators, learners and audiences. These skills are critical to our leadership and well-being, especially in times of heightened anxiety and stress. Virtual Reality is the ideal place to practice this type of connection, using mindfulness and social-emotional development, inside-out. I’ve designed MindWise Experiences focused on best practices in mindful leadership, creative mindsets, well-being and empowered connection. Hear what participants have shared, and follow updates here!
There are events individuals can attend, and there are custom experiences offered for individuals and teams who would like deeper engagement. So, for those new to these trainings: they hinge on connection! Read about a session and stay tuned for news about upcoming events.
I wrote about “why mindfulness in VR is different than anything you’ve felt before” in this article, and will be continuing to run sessions that educators and community from all over the world can join.
