AMA: The Walker of Worlds
AMA - The Walker of Worlds is an original interactive and educational adventure story, built for XR, guided by ancient magic, myth and music
This story centres around a central character, AMA. Ama is a worker in a humdrum 9 to 5 supermarket job. Ama’s world is transformed when one day she experiences a seizure and collapses.
In this place in between, she has a vision of an approaching apocalypse, after which she is compelled on a journey through time and space. She must attend rituals of the Mystery Schools with a team of friends, (YOU!), learn and train in the ancient mystic arts and learn from the wisest Sages, Spiritual Masters, Wisdom Keepers and Mystics in order to save the world from catastrophe
Multi person shared experience
As a shared multi-person location based experience we inhabit the different scenes and worlds along with Ama, interact with her and as mystical events occur in her life we are magically brought with her into different worlds and realms.
Embark with Ama on her musical journey through ancient worlds, meeting legendary characters and cultures as she learns about the universe and different spiritual systems. As she delves into the depths of other worlds, what will this experience ultimately teach her about her own mind?
Status: In Development.

LEARN THROUGH TIME AND SPACE
Travel with Ama as she learns about Number, Geometry, Music, Astronomy, Spirituality and experiences such things as the Eleusinian Mysteries at the Telesterion, Ancient Greece, sound healing at Saqqara, Ancient Egypt, and learns breath work and meditation from Tibet’s greatest yogi saint Milrepa in his remote Himalayan cave.
This magical journey brings us to real world sacred sites, recreated as a set of unique training grounds. Via different episodes we will visit the traditions of Ancient Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, early Christian Gnostics, Druids, Pagans, Sufis, Taoists, Buddhists and more.
MUSIC & SOUNDSCAPES
Music is central to the experience. Working with experts in early music, archaeomusicology, psychoacoustics, original soundtrack and soundscapes form the basis of our environments to give the most realistic and authentic immersion. There will be a blend of ancient music and instrumentation using authentic ancient instruments and tunings, coupled with an original modern ambient electronic score.
EDUCATION
Ama’s compelling narrative takes place in real world ancient sites, reconstructed to reflect the reality of the time. There is a strong emphasis on the educational dimension, so the story will be suitable for schools and colleges and even as supplementary learning experiences.
WELLBEING
Drawing on ancient wisdom traditions, the wellbeing philosophies and techniques included in the experiences are designed with the help of real world meditation masters and wellbeing experts. The core principles and teachings that are common to Mystery schools from around the world are incorporated in an authentic and faithful way. These experiences will be useful for people in many contexts including even the workplace as part of a wellbeing programme.
