About this Group
✨ The Nebula Nursery: Feed the Glow, Watch It Grow! ✨ Are you ready to co-parent a cosmic mystery? Welcome to The Nebula Nursery, a 2026 interactive "Living Lab" where we collaboratively raise a magical, morphing creature from a tiny starseed to a fully-grown stellar being. In this group, your daily self-care becomes the nourishment for our communal blob. Each day, we’ll vote on colors, foods, and activities that determine the creature’s next evolution. Did we choose a soothing blue and a quiet meditation? Expect to see a calm, glowing orb tomorrow. Did we choose high-energy solar yellow and a brave adventure? Our blob might sprout wings or a fiery tail! Every morning, the new artwork is revealed, showing exactly how our collective energy transformed the nursery overnight. This is more than just an art project—it’s a way to test real-world gameplay mechanics, practice communal nurturing, and celebrate the beautiful, unpredictable ways we grow together. Come help us shape the next generation of the galaxy—one morphing blob at a time! _________________________________________________ ✨ How the Nursery Works: Raising Our Collective Glow ✨ The Nebula Nursery is a high-interaction, 2026 "Living Lab" where your community collaboratively nurtures a digital "Morphing Blob." This group blends character-building art, and collective self-care into a daily ritual of growth and discovery. It is designed to be a "parallel universe" for our group's healing journey—as we feed the blob and help it grow, we are subtly feeding our own needs and watching our collective energy take shape. This group functions as a daily interactive art project where the community's choices literally "age up" and shift the form of a communal creature. Daily Input Phase: Members respond to four specific prompts in the group chat. These inputs serve as the "nutrients" for the blob’s next form: 🎨 Color: A hue that represents the group’s mood (e.g., "Lavender for peace" or "Solar Yellow for energy"). 🍴 Food: A symbolic meal (e.g., "Stardust crackers" or "Warm honey"). 🏃 Activity: A task for the blob to perform (e.g., "Floating through a cloud" or "Practicing a tiny roar"). 🧸 Self-Care/Treat: A nurturing action we also commit to ourselves (e.g., "A 5-minute stretch" or "A warm cup of tea"). The Artist’s Transformation: After the session, the facilitator (or a volunteer from the group) creates three distinct images of the next growth stage, incorporating the group's specific choices. The Reveal: The following morning, the "Aged Up" version is revealed. Members see exactly how their collective actions from the previous day—like choosing a specific treat or activity—visually transformed the creature. Life Stages: We raise the blob from a "Starseed" through various "Nebula" stages until it reaches its Permanent Form. Once it "graduates" into an adult, we celebrate its journey and begin a new cycle with a fresh seed. _________________________________________________ ✨Why It’s Part of the Legacy ✨ Gameplay Testing: This is a real-world testing ground for future gameplay mechanics. Participants provide feedback on what feels rewarding, which prompts are most fun, and how the "evolution" feels as a player. Symbolic Healing: Nurturing a digital being fosters a sense of collective responsibility and empathy. It mirrors the internal "Parts Work" we do—treating even the "blobbiest," most uncertain parts of ourselves with care and curiosity. Creative Anticipation: The "reveal" mechanic creates a positive feedback loop and a reason for members to check in every single day to see "who we are becoming."
