Genesis House, one of NYC’s leading immersive experience creators, just unveiled a brand new “multi-sensory wellness experience” designed by actress, businesswoman, and CEO of goop, Gwyneth Paltrow.
The Forest Within invite visitors to walk through a one-of-a-kind wellness journey centered around Korean heritage, nature and design.
Inspired by the cultural significance of nature and Paltrow’s passion for holistic well-being, the experience consists of an immersive journey narrated by Paltrow following a Tiger – long regarded as a guardian spirit in Korea – through a flourishing sanctuary reminiscent of the Sobaek Mountains.
The experience is in collaboration with renowned floral artist, Jeff Leatham, who has turned Genesis House’s LED stage into a sea of flourishing Korean forest and lush greenery.
Guests can stroll through this meditative journey meant to slow the senses and balance the mind through beautiful flowers and Korean nature.
There’s even a meditation meadow where guests can reflect and practice mindfulness around a reflection pool, as well as visuals, sounds, smells and textures that make you feel like you’ve transported.
“I’ve always been drawn to the ways technology can deepen our connection to wellness, and with The Forest Within, Genesis House has elevated that idea into something truly transportive,” Paltrow said.
“Collaborating on this project has been an incredible opportunity to push the boundaries of what wellness can look and feel like, and I’m thrilled to invite people into this serene, multi-sensory world we’ve created.
The Forest Within is now open to the public for free through June 29th.
This immersive exhibit is the latest in Genesis House’s series of which has consisted of a celestial starscape experience and floral exhibits in the past.
