Humans are social creatures and we all crave intimacy - to belong, to be seen and accepted for who we are - not just for the pretty parts but also for our flaws, misfortune and shame. Unfortunately many people don't have any avenue to tap into this. Showing vulnerability can feel scary, awkward and uncomfortable. The rise of social media and division today has made it worse and prevent us from seeing past our differences on the surface and not realizing the common human experiences we share underneath. So, many ended up recoiling, sucked in a pit of disconnected loneliness that has just gotten worse during the pandemic.
We created Warmspace to make deep human connection accessible to anyone at anytime. We want to engineer the serendipity and ease for heart-opening conversation to take place over a guided video. It's a place where two people can be totally real with each other. A safe space. A trusting space. A warm space.
First, you connect with a stranger over video. But unlike a regular video call, we use music, mindfulness practice and interactive prompts to guide you through a conversation to dive deep into what's real. It's like having a facilitator that makes you feel safe to reveal whatever is alive within you, to develop empathy and share vulnerability, no matter who you're speaking with.
What makes Warmspace a warm space: - Authentic relating framework: follow a carefully designed conversation flow with audio guidance that ensures everyone gets the chance to share and be listened to - Quality prompts: receive handpicked questions and themes that give you the permission to dive into the deeper side of our human experience - Heart opening music: enjoy curated tunes that will play throughout the conversation to help open up and soothe your heart - Mindfulness practice: feel present and connected with grounding techniques accompanying your conversation - Global connection: connect with people from all over the world and realize how much there is in common that we all share
Our users averaged a 38% uplift in positive emotion coupled with a strong 8/10 connection with their partner - in a single one hour session. Many skeptical users have shared that they were surprised at how deeply they were able to connect with a stranger - as if they had been friends for years. They learned something deeper about themselves and feel valued for being exactly who they are. They feel human again.
