Interbeing Inc: Improving Mental Health with Interpersonal Meditation Practices

Interbeing Inc, a project co-founded by Vince Fuhori Horn, aims to enhance the mental health and well-being of individuals through interpersonal meditation practices. The project introduces a platform called meditatewith.ai, which allows users to learn and practice meditating out loud with an AI partner. By providing an easier and less socially intimidating way to engage in these social practices, meditatewith.ai demonstrates the potential of teaching people how to perform them before transitioning to in-person interactions. The team behind the project is continuously working on improving the platform, with plans to incorporate deeper insights based on users' shared experiences and tone of voice. Additionally, they are developing a multiplayer mode for users to meditate with other humans. This initiative represents the cutting edge of incorporating meditative psycho technologies into mental health practices.
