The Grove
A quiet beech grove for slowing down.
A VR mindfulness world in VRChat, first published in April 2021 and visited over 30,000 times. It's been revived for 2026 with fishing, swimming and a breath pacer, and the update is being tested now.

The problem
Social VR is rarely quiet.
Most busy VRChat worlds are full of music, voices and people talking over each other. That's fun, but there aren't many places to just sit somewhere calm, alone or with a friend.
Meditation apps help, but a timer on a phone doesn't take you anywhere.
The Grove is a lake in a beech forest with a breath pacer, a campfire and a fishing rod. You can stay as long as you like and do as little as you like.
Fishing
Grab a rod from the jetty and catch 12 real lake species, catch and release.
Breathe
A meditation timer and breath pacer, for a few slow minutes on your own.
Swim, picnic, campfire
Swim out into deep water, or sit down for a picnic by the fire.
A living shoreline
Butterflies, birds and a wet shoreline, with footsteps that sound different on grass, mud and water.
Portals onward
A tabbed menu and portals to more worlds when you're ready to move on.
