The #1 edition of our Wellness Game Lab internship just wrapped up, and we're super excited by what these amazing interns accomplished. Adon Y. Ruchita Barhate Noah Hashim Divyanshu Singh Tapasmi Ray Chaudhuri Murugappan V. They built two games: /Serenity Stones/ a relaxing yet thought-provoking experience that blends creativity with introspection. In this game, you’re not just building a tower—you’re reflecting on personal priorities through immersive, beautifully crafted environments. /Can we save the Zibblets/ Players control planets with unique bio-happiness resources. They must collect and manage these resources to create a balanced planet for the Zibblets. Through collaboration, negotiation, and strategic planning, players must work together to save the Zibblets from environmental imbalance. We're proud of our partnership with Skills Café, which made this program possible. Together, we're nurturing the game developers focused on wellness and personal growth. Ajay Gupta Elisa Pierella, PhD Madhur Anand Vaidehi Phagre For anyone who missed out this time - don't worry! We're already cooking up plans for the next Wellness Game Lab. Stay tuned! #WellnessGameLab #InternshipProgram #GameDevelopment #Wellness
About us
The Quest for Bio-Happiness 🌲 At Moodforest, we're diving deep into the heart of an existential question: Why have humans always pursued happiness, and why do so many of us fail in this quest? We believe that the answers might be more biological than we've ever imagined. 🔍 Two primary components drive our research and solution-oriented approach: 1. Green Mind Study: A robust initiative designed to back our efforts with scientific data. We invite you to support this research and be part of groundbreaking work. 2. Bio-happiness Module: Derived from our findings in the Green Mind Study, this module empowers individuals to harness the potential of their biological happiness. You can directly benefit from the results and transformations this module offers. 📊 Hypothesis & Outcome Our preliminary findings are very encouraging: • Happiness Sum Hypothesis: We're proposing that 60-70% of human happiness is biologically driven, while the remaining 30-40% comes from social factors like wealth, relationships, and spirituality. • Mental Well-being: Our methodologies have shown a potential reduction in mental distress by up to 70%. • Cognitive Appraisal: We've observed over a 35% enhancement in the brain's capability to cognitive self-regulation. • Sleep Quality: Our techniques also contribute to a 31% improvement in sleep quality. Moodforest is not just a research hub; it's a movement. A commitment to understanding human happiness and well-being from a biological perspective and offering actionable, evidence-informed solutions. 💡 Join Us We're not just offering insights; we're presenting transformative solutions. Dive into our Bio-happiness module, support the Green Mind Study, and be part of the this pilgrimage in understanding happiness.

The Germans call it "waldbaden," the Japanese call it "shinrin-yoku," and Madhur Anand calls it Moodforest. When I first encountered Madhur's work, I thought it was a bold move to turn this into a startup, but I was impressed by his approach. He combines passion, research, and action to showcase natural ways to address mental health challenges. Join us at the Eternal Return Unconference to hear Madhur discuss his work and the impact Moodforest is making in helping people heal and build profound connections with nature. The Unconference is free to attend, though we welcome donations based on what you feel inspired to contribute. https://lnkd.in/gwyT2ARC

Big Welcome to the founding batch of Wellness Game Lab! With 160+ applications, it was a series of goosebumps watching the enthusiasm and diversity of people who applied from across the Globe. This project is a collaboration between Skills Café and Moodforest. When we started sharing about the Wellness Game Lab, I was fingers crossed on who would find the idea interesting. But an idea is like a search query into the world. It clicks and attracts its own tribe. Noah Hashim Tapasmi Ray Chaudhuri Ruchita Barhate @Adon Young Divyanshu Singh Murugappan V. Congratulations and best wishes to all of you!

Excited to announce the Skills Cafe' Wellness Game Lab internship. The idea: Four designers live and work for 3-months in a forest. They learn about game design, mental health, nutrition, and wellness from experts and create #games that everyone can #play and talk about #wellnessatwork. The Wellness Game Lab is part of the Skills Cafe' #Madewithplay initiative and is co-created in partnership with Moodforest. BTW - If I weren't building Skills Café and a wasn't a work from home father, I would have left for the forest to learn, play, and create. Join the discovery call and signup for this life changing internship. #games #gamedesign #wellness #internship #play #mentalhealth https://lu.ma/game-lab With Madhur Anand Vaidehi Phagre Bob Philips Elisa Pierella
