TLDR: I work full-time for a mental health charity and have been making recorded and live content for our members during Covid-19 on wellbeing, coping skills and such but also 'culture' generally and did a live on the Kalevala and the importance of mindfulness and connection with Nature, it unexpectedly got amazing positive feedback and has actually directly helped people (I've had the calls and emails from several service users reporting increased wellbeing from looking more into what lives and grows around them and looking into national epics/folklore/history and the Kalevala iteself)
Unreal World is making a small difference to mental health in a little pocket of England during a diffcult time! Thanks and well done Sami and Erka and the community that feel such a connection to this creation, escapist yet grounding, stimulating, educational, mystical and fun, all the accidental deaths included!
