Totems of Hope – Philanthropy as an Immersive Ritual
A neuroaesthetic ritual experience that bridges immersive technology, social impact, and ancestral symbolism.
It is a modular, trauma-informed experience that blends ritual, XR, and symbolic action into a multisensory act of immersive giving. Designed to meet participants where they are, it offers a responsive, emotionally attuned journey shaped by personal pacing and presence.
At once poetic and participatory, the work integrates augmented reality, brain-responsive binaural audio, and real-world interaction into a soft and layered experience — creating a future-facing expression of immersive philanthropy. Its sensory architecture of care honours nervous system regulation, emotional resonance, and the gentle power of choice.
Built as a neuroaesthetic ritual, Totems of Hope orchestrates symbolic and technological elements into a cohesive arc — one that fosters embodiment, connection, and a deepened sense of shared humanity.
