“Oh to be able to describe these last 8 weeks in words! I didn’t know how much I needed Amplify Joy until I became a part of the programme. Initially when I learnt about it, I had very simple expectations - I would learn about joy, possibly learn how to inculcate it in my life. What I got from Amplify Joy was so much more. From creating a sense of family to finding a safe space for my innermost expression, my joy pod became a tight knit community whose opinions and experiences I valued. Consistency has always been an issue with me, and Amplify Joy’s structure not only helped me with discipline but also motivation. I loved how funny and chill the whole experience was whilst navigating something so important. The design of the Botanist, the aesthetics, the puns really appealed to the artist inside me. The whole game could have just been the Joy Pod and the pings from the Botanist but the attention to detail, the inclusion of art therapy and design and jokes and quotes just really made all the difference.”
