The Calm Capsule is a student project focused on relaxation and mindfulness as a way to improve performance and boost resilience in competitive situations.

​​

​The capsule features visual, auditory, and tactile aspects, together with guided breathing and meditation exercises, that allow the visitor to refocus and improve their performance. 

​

Although the space was initially designed for chess players, it has a great number of applications beyond the 64 squares.

​

The Calm Capsule has found that parents and coaches have also benefited from using the space by allowing them to find a moment of peace among the stressful climate of taking care of their children the entire day. 

​

Furthermore, the research and work from the Capsule is being applied to the new Wellness Space at the Packer Collegiate Institute as part of a senior independent study.
