WHY
PODS?
THE PROBLEM
Stress-related ailments cost U.S. industries an estimated $68 billion annually in healthcare expenses. Most offices and workplaces don’t offer spaces that are conducive to meditation, missing an opportunity to increase productivity and employee wellbeing. A recent report published by JLL found that only 17% of workers have access to relaxation rooms.
THE SOLUTION
To solve this problem, OpenSeed has developed meditation pods for the workplace and other commercial spaces. We create environments that are designed to quickly induce calm, teach different types of meditation, and facilitate access to elevated states of mental wellbeing.
EFFECTIVE
We’ve tested the pod with over 2,000 people at trade shows, a 10-month pilot at a co-working space, a 3 week study involving 30 people. We have shown that meditating inside the pod for just 10 minutes is very effective in inducing calm, reducing heart rate, and reducing brain wave activity.
CONVENIENT
A single, plug-and play solution that includes the space (pod), content, subscriptions, and all the future upgrades.
AFFORDABLE
Much cheaper than building a meditation room. Building a meditation room requires permits, someone to install the lighting, the seating, the content, and maintenance.
PERSONALIZED
Fresh and personalized content, upgradeable to include premium features and other immersive experiences in the future.
CUSTOMIZABLE
The felt wall can be customized in different colors and patterns to company style and preferences. It also provides acoustic isolation, structural strength, and a comforting, familiar texture.
UNIQUE
Provides employees with an amenity/experience they can only access in the workplace.
BEAUTIFUL
Enhances the aesthetics of any space. Employees will appreciate a beautiful and functional design piece as a symbol of wellness in the workplace.
