There are a few existing Spiritual Communities currently active in Web3. All of them trying to embrace this new paradigm, using the tools available to build new fair communities.
I’ve started looking for them with a basic search engine query. This is what I came up with:
SpiritualDAO Seems like an interesting community that I’ve stumbled across.
They use NFTs as membership passes and a Tarot reading. They also have a marketplace, and “play to earn spiritual progression”, a virtual venue where they want to host speakers, musicians, artists, and 24/7 solfeggio frequency music. It seems to be sadly only ran by men from their website’s team section.
-> “Next: We are working towards creating a Spiritual Hub. Here, users will partake in seven mini-games, each corresponding to a Vedic chakra. Display your spirituality through action, earn an aura NFT upgrade.”
I’m following this as I’m curious how it will develop 🙂
WellnessDAO is “the future of community-driven wellness — a modern health and wellness club, dedicated to elevating our global community’s collective psyche through digital and physical experiences.”
Their Twitter has about 100 followers… Their last tweet was in Jan.
It’s supposed to work like this:
“Community to learn new practices, host virtual programming in form of guided meditations and such, all virtually to eventually do IRL and live events in hub cities like NY, centered around yoga, breath work etc.”
They differenciate themselves from a networking or party event.
WellnessDAO issues NFTs for participation in sessions. Tokens that don’t have value, just a token of appreciation. Eventually they say they will have a membership NFT.
Mindfulmetaverse.co has more than 7000 people on their Discord, with people like Deepak Chopra as signatories. It is mostly a meditation and mindfulness resources and community.
“The Manifesto debuted at the Med Gala, a first-of-its-kind red carpet benefit bringing together a global community of brands & individuals who believe in the power of meditation to unlock human potential, with an on-stage presentation by Sukey and Elizabeth Novogratz.”
Maloka along with Three Jewels, The Big Quiet, Open, and Sounds Nice launched the Hundred Million Meditators Manifesto – “acknowledging the need to make space for mental health and wellness in Web3.”
All those who have signed the Manifesto are eligible to mint the Mindful Metaverse Portal NFT for free. NFT holders get access to:
- Allowlist for upcoming generative collection
- Token-gated access to mindfulness experiences in discord
- Token-gated access to in-game content and other features
- Tickets, Merchandise, and other giveaways
They are interested in: Mindfulness, Meditation, Sound, Movement, Breathwork, Wellness, Gaming, VR, Web3, Neuroscience, Psychedelics, Other / none of the above.
So far that’s all I’ve come up with with a quick search. I’m sure there is more out there, though it seems there needs to be more access to these communities and that comes with being searchable easily.
I can’t wait to discover what other creators and mentors come up with to found new self-development and spiritual communities in this space!
