Gwyneth Paltrow's ‘immersive retreat' blasted online: ‘Quite unimpressive'
Gwyneth Patlrow's 'holistic, immersive retreat' in the Meatpacking District has some visitors stressed out. The Hollywood star's free 'seasonal installation' at Genesis House, which also houses a Korean restaurant, is called 'The Forest Within' and is supposed to be 'a restorative and multi-sensory wellness experience.' 3 Gwyneth Paltrow's immersive installation at Genesis House first opened last month.

The experience 'guides guests through an immersive journey centered around Korean heritage, nature, and design,' according to a news release. 'Drawing inspiration from the cultural significance of nature, Paltrow's fantasy transforms Genesis House into a meditative forest that is rich with natural elements and layered with symbolic representations of Korean wildlife — most notably the Tiger, long regarded as a guardian spirit in Korea.' But the 'experience' 'took 5 minutes to walk through,' said one person who griped that there was 'no place to sit and admire the mediocre projections. 3 The installation runs through June 29. Neil Rasmus/Shutterstock 3 'Umimpressive' was just one of the words visitors used to describe Paltrow's work. Genesis Motor America 'Not something to go out of your way for,' the online critic added. 'Beautiful but literally 2 minutes long,' another commented. Others bemoaned the excessive wait times for what was an all too brief experience. 'This was quite unimpressive after a 40-minute wait,' one person wrote online. Reps for Paltrow did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The installation is open until June 29.

Gwyneth Paltrow Reveals ‘Most Surprising Thing' About Timothee Chalamet
Curious about what thinks of her Marty Supreme co-star Timothee Chalamet? Well, she recently opened up about her experience working with him. In a recent interview, she shared some charming details about Chalamet. Here's an insight into what Gwyneth Paltrow said about Timothee Chalamet and their upcoming project together. In a recent interview with E! News, Paltrow spoke warmly about Chalamet's personality. When asked what the most surprising feature about the young star was, she didn't hesitate. 'Oh, he's a lovely person. He's, you know, he speaks beautiful French and loves his mother,' she said. Her remarks, though simple, gave fans a sweet glimpse into Chalamet's character off-screen. She continued by describing him as 'very polite and very talented,' expressing how enjoyable it was to work alongside him. 'I really had a nice time with him,' Paltrow added sincerely. Shifting focus to Marty Supreme, Paltrow explained her excitement not just for the project but also for how her children reacted to it. 'It stars Timothee Chalamet and Tyler, the Creator. So therefore, my son especially is like out of his mind about this and he's never seen me in a movie before. So this might have to be the first one. He has seen me like in Iron Man when he was little,' she revealed. When asked whether her daughter Apple had seen her in films, Paltrow responded, 'I think she's watched a few more. I think she's more a nerd to it.' During the interview, Paltrow also addressed the possibility of reprising her Marvel role. 'Maybe, maybe there's a possibility,' she said with a smile. She briefly discussed her work on The Forest Within, an immersive art installation at Genesis House. In Marty Supreme, Chalamet portrays Marty Mauser, a young dreamer no one believes in, who endures emotional and literal trials in pursuit of greatness. Not only does Chalamet star in the film, but he also serves as co-producer. A24 will release the film in U.S. theaters on December 25, 2025.

Gwyneth Paltrow Shares Her Travel Rule For When Things Go Wrong
Gwyneth Paltrow leads visitors through a unique sensory experience at Genesis House. In the heart of Manhattan's Meatpacking District, Gwyneth Paltrow has helped turn a luxury showroom into something resembling a Korean forest. The Forest Within, a new immersive installation at Genesis House, is her latest collaboration—one that fuses nature, tech, and wellness into a multisensory sanctuary filled with peonies, LED-lit rock formations, and the scent of petrichor. But the project isn't just about aesthetics. 'I think we are at this crazy inflection point as a culture and society where we're tipping over into so much input all the time,' Paltrow told me at the opening. 'We have not adapted to it. Our nervous systems absolutely cannot cope with what's happening on any level.' Designed to pull visitors into a sensory reset—complete with guided meditation voiced by Paltrow herself—the installation is meant to be a reminder that, even in the middle of New York City, stillness is possible. 'We experience emails like a—like a bad email is like a gunshot,' she said. 'And it's not commensurate with what's happening.' This fascination with the nervous system and the need for presence isn't limited to pop-up installations—it's become central to how she travels. And when things go wrong, which of course they often do, Paltrow has a simple rule. 'I try to go in with the mindset of, like, this might not go according to plan, and let's just sort of try to roll with it, you know?' she said. 'There was one time I was stuck on the Eurostar for six hours when my kids were toddlers. You can lose your mind, or you can try to be calm and go a bit inward. What will losing your mind in a train car do for anybody?' Even when travel feels like chaos, she turns to what she calls her grounding rituals. 'I always walk,' she said. 'I was once in France, and I had this tour guide in a museum, and he said, Do you want to take the elevator or do you want to walk? And I said, I prefer to walk. And he said, 'Good, me too. I believe that walking brings the body and the soul together.' And I was like, that's true. I never articulated it like that.' She and her husband, Brad Falchuk, will often spend hours walking through a city—sometimes to dinner, sometimes just to get lost. 'Last summer, we were walking around Rome, and we had one of those days where we walked for about six hours and got lost. And we stumbled upon one of those ruins that had sort of a modern facade that had been peeled away, and it was like some 11th-century… you know what I mean?' she laughed. 'It was one of those moments where it was just a treasure that someone else had unearthed.' Hydration, she added, is the other essential. And when arriving somewhere new, especially across time zones, she avoids overindulging until she's settled. 'I try to mine like the food, the alcohol, and stuff until I get totally adjusted to the time,' she said. She lights up most when talking about the places that truly feel like sanctuaries. We go to Italy in the summer, in the hills of Umbria. It's like true countryside, very rustic. That's where I feel totally at peace,' she said. 'It's unmanicured, and there's a wildness to it. They call Umbria the Green Heart of Italy. And all the flora and fauna there… you know, all kinds of wild things running around in the bushes and olive trees. I just feel like beautifully insignificant when I'm there.' Paltrow is quick to draw distinctions between different types of nature. 'The forest is so gentle and it's so inward and it's so quiet and like, there's so much peace in the forest,' she said. 'But California, the coast—it's almost brutal. It's so raw and beautiful, and the waves are so strong, the ocean's so cold and brackish. There's something inhospitable about it that I love.' The daughter of a filmmaker, she grew up bouncing between coasts and continents—and hasn't slowed down. 'I've never been to Korea, which I'm dying to go to. Korean food's my favorite food,' she said. 'And I've only ever been to Tokyo in Japan, so I would love to kind of go out into the islands and do that whole trip.' When I mentioned my own desire to ski in Japan, she nodded. 'Yeah, people say you go in January and February, and it's unbelievable. That would be really cool.' While The Forest Within is open through June 29 and offers a stylized version of that immersive nature, she believes everyone can recreate their own version at home. 'If there's a spot outside in nature where somebody could go and do the thing that connects them most deeply to themselves—whether that's listening to a beautiful piece of music or reading a poem or just simply lying down on the grass—that's kind of what we're trying to achieve here,' she said. 'It doesn't cost anything and can be a powerful tool in shifting our consciousness.' And for fellow parents wondering how to bring little ones along for the ride, Paltrow had one final piece of advice. 'I always just sort of packed up my kids and went, and I tried not to be too precious. My dad always said, 'You're on the time you're on.' We'd be falling asleep at the table and he'd be like, 'We're going to the Pompidou.'' Because when it comes to travel, her rule is clear: expect disruption—and find calm anyway.

What Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin's Kids Think of Their Parenting
Originally appeared on E! Online Gwyneth Paltrow's kids are Shakespeares in love with her approach to parenting. The Goop founder recently detailed the 'funny' appreciation her and her ex-husband Chris Martin's children Apple Martin, 20, and Moses Martin, 19, have for the ground-breaking and health-conscious upbringing they experienced while growing up. 'They are very proud of the iconoclastic approach that we have taken in the past,' Gwyneth exclusively told E! News in an interview airing tonight, May 12, at 11 p.m. 'Looking back, there are always things that we used to write about [at Goop] where people were like, 'Oh my gosh, what is this?' And now they're so mainstream.' The 52-year-old—who has partnered with Genesis House in New York City to launch the immersive nature experience 'The Forest Within'—added, 'My kids are really proud of the fact that we're always kind of first in this space.' As part of her innovative parenting style with the Coldplay frontman, Gwyneth—who is also stepmom to husband Brad Falchuk's kids Isabella, 19, and Brody, 18—made sure to find a middle ground between overly strict rules and too much freedom.

'For me, manners are super important. So, that was kind of the structure: manners and education. I want a lot of expression and individuality and freedom running through that structure. So, that's kind of how we looked at it.' And as a result of their experiences as kids, the Oscar winner thinks that Apple and Moses are likely to follow in her and Chris' footsteps and pursue careers in entertainment. 'They are definitely artist souls,' she shared. 'I do think that [a] mix of structure and art is really coming through in who they are now. They're both academic, and yet they have these beautiful free spirits and I think they will pursue art, which I think is wonderful.'

Step inside a free immersive wellness experience designed with Gwyneth Paltrow
A lush Korean forest is now growing in the Meatpacking District—figuratively at least. "The Forest Within," an immersive exhibition, is open for free at Genesis House through June 29. With a focus on wellness, none other than wellness guru and goop founder Gwyneth Paltrow put her personal stamp on the experience. She helped to design and develop the exhibition with renowned floral designer Jeff Leatham. Paltrow even narrates the journey, which follows a tiger through a flourishing sanctuary reminiscent of the Sobaek Mountains. Paltrow reimagined the basement-level space as a holistic, immersive environment meant to ground and heal guests through nature. "The Forest Within" aims to slow the senses and balance the mind—something we could all likely use a little more of these days. You'll get a chance to walk through a scaled interpretation of a Korean forest filled with greenery and natural elements. Then, with Paltrow's voice as your guide, you'll head through a maze of rocky formations and lush greenery. The adventure concludes with a meditation meadow where guests can reflect and practice mindfulness around a reflection pool. Expect digital visuals, sounds, smells and textures to help make the experience truly immersive. Keep an eye out for the use of peonies throughout the space. Not only are they in season right about now, they're also Paltrow's favorite flower. "I've always been drawn to the ways technology can deepen our connection to wellness, and with 'The Forest Within,' Genesis House has elevated that idea into something truly transportive. There are very few places to encounter this kind of immersive, meditative experience, especially in the heart of New York City. Collaborating on this project has been an incredible opportunity to push the boundaries of what wellness can look and feel like, and I'm thrilled to invite people into this serene, multisensory world we've created," Paltrow said in a press release. 'There are very few places to encounter this kind of immersive, meditative experience, especially in the heart of New York City.' Genesis House is becoming known for creating truly cool immersive exhibits, always with a link to the Genesis car brand's Korean heritage. This winter, they hosted a light installation called STARSCAPE inspired by the Korean winter solstice. Last year, a Genesis House exhibition called BLOOMTANICA, which featured Korea's national flower, drew long lines to see the free show. "Together with the creative vision of Gwyneth Paltrow, our shared passion for audacious design comes to life as we honor the brand's cultural roots in the latest seasonal installation at Genesis House," Tedros Mengiste, chief operating officer of Genesis Motor North America, said in a press release. If you want to take the experience to the next level, make a reservation at the on-site restaurant, with food and drink inspired by the exhibition. The menu includes mugwort gulrim mandu, a Korean spring dumpling made with tiger-striped mandu sheets, reminiscent of the installation's tiger motifs. As for cocktails, there's the ginseng petrichor, a soju-based cocktail inspired by the scent of rain, blending green tea vodka, ginseng, astragalus, pyogo, nokcha, doraji and pear syrup, and orange blossom water.
