Welcome to Our Home in Second Life

Welcome to Whole Brain Health (WBH), the virtual arm of my non-profit Ageless Mind Project (AMP). This is the page my team and I created to introduce you to the virtual world of Second Life and the work we've been doing there for the past 11 years.
Several of you have asked me what a virtual world is. Simply put, a virtual world is a computer-simulated environment where folks can meet, interact, and collaborate on creative projects. They are represented in the virtual world by a 3D avatar - a digital of version yourself (see my avatar on the left). The fun thing about avatars is that they are infinitely modifiable. You can look like almost anything - a dragon, a robot, a cat, and of course a human being.
We chose Second Life for two reasons. It has great creative tools that allow users to build almost anything from buildings and spaceships to art galleries and clothing. In addition, we were able to make spaces available for our members to meet, socialize, host classes and support groups, attend live music concerts, and try their hand at creative projects. To be honest, we've been astonished by the results. Just take a look at the video below.
Wasn't That Something?
Our latest WBH initiative is something we're calling the "Nourish to Flourish Road Trip." This tour takes you to five different areas on our island, where you can try activities that contribute to brain health and decide which ones you enjoy most, because those are the ones you're most likely to do consistently in your daily life.
If we've learned anything it's that building an ageless mind is a unique process. What works for one person doesn't work for another, so we're all about helping each individual find their own way.
The video below will introduce you to our first road trip, "Nourish to Flourish." This is led by our two wise old owls, Sue and Lou. Each stop on the tour is designed to give you a glimpse of how being an avatar in a virtual world can help your body, mind, and spirit flourish.
To give you a sense of the larger Second Life world that we're part of, we're sharing two videos by organizations and people that we greatly admire and work closely with.
