Shared mindfulness amplifies individual practice

Meditation has been practiced in groups for thousands of years — and for good reason. Research shows that practicing mindfulness with others enhances the experience and improves adherence. CoDo World's shared meditation spaces bring this ancient wisdom into modern VR — find your calm in serene nature retreats, practice breathwork solo or with friends, and experience the grounding power of being truly present with another person.

Why Is Group Meditation More Effective Than Solo Practice?

A growing body of research suggests that meditation practiced in a group setting produces deeper relaxation and greater consistency than solo practice. A 2019 study in Frontiers in Psychology found that group mindfulness programs produced greater reductions in stress and anxiety compared to individual practice.

The key mechanism is social regulation — when we practice with others, our nervous systems co-regulate, creating a shared state of calm that deepens individual experience. This is why meditation retreats, yoga classes, and contemplative communities exist across every culture.

Presence Over Pixels — A Different Kind of Digital Connection

Why It Matters

Meditation has always been practiced in community. CoDo brings that ancient wisdom into modern VR.

CoDo meditation space
CoDo World's meditation spaces are designed around the concept of 'presence over pixels' — prioritizing genuine felt-presence over screen-based interaction.

Environment as anchor: Rather than staring at a phone screen, you're immersed in a serene natural environment — a lakeside, a garden, a mountain clearing — that serves as a natural anchor for attention and calm
Shared stillness: Simply being in a quiet, beautiful space with another person creates a bond that conversation alone cannot. CoDo's meditation spaces facilitate this shared stillness
No performance pressure: Unlike social media where every interaction is performative, CoDo's shared meditation spaces are designed for genuine, quiet togetherness — you don't need to 'do' anything except be present
Ritual and routine: CoDo helps you build a shared meditation ritual with friends or family — a regular appointment for presence and calm that becomes a cornerstone of your wellness routine
