Experts Unveil 'Moments of Kalmfulness' Virtual Gallery: A Digital Retreat for Mental Well-being
The study of over 2,000 respondents found that four in five UK adults (79%) have experienced anxiety in the past year, with two in five (42%) adults saying they have financial concerns on a daily basis.
To bring a sense of peace to a stressed-out nation, the Virtual Gallery invites online visitors to view photographs that have been carefully selected to promote mindfulness and relaxation. Kalms' research has found that 52% of people feel calmer and more relaxed after looking at peaceful imagery. Previous studies suggest simply looking at photographs of nature for five minutes can have a calming effect on the brain.
The virtual gallery features striking photographs of natural settings, serene landscapes and peaceful moments across the UK and Ireland . Captured by esteemed and upcoming photographers passionate about promoting mental health, contributors include:
- wildlife photographer, filmmaker and TV presenter
- former soldier turned mental health therapist
- celebrated as 'The Blind Photographer'
Each photographer's unique perspective contributes to the gallery's overarching theme of 'kalmfulness' – the state of being calm and peaceful – by showcasing the beauty that can be found in small, everyday moments.
supports the initiative for its ability to spark important conversations about emotional well-being and resilience. commented:
