A Sound Life partners with Example + GPJ to launch event space and wellbeing experience

Australian charity A Sound Life, has partnered with brand studio Example and experience agency George P Johnson (GPJ) to launch Sydney’s most inspiring music and wellness venue, where every event held helps deliver free yoga, music and meditation to people in need.

Located in the Entertainment Quarter, A Sound Life Dome provides a wellbeing and creative destination for private and corporate events, alongside an invigorating programme of meditation, music and yoga classes for all.

Founded by musician and yoga teacher, Edo Kahn and his late wife Jo Mall-Kahn in 2014, A Sound Life empowers vulnerable communities to improve their health, wellbeing and happiness with the healing powers of yoga, music and meditation.

The 250- capacity event space will not only showcase firsthand the positive effects of these proven modalities, but help provide free services to people facing hardship in hospitals, aged-care, women’s refuges, mental health and disability facilities.

Example has partnered with A Sound Life to launch the event space, donating all PR services for the launch and ongoing communications activity for the charity.

Says Rebecca Gibbs, director, Example: “We are extremely excited to be working with A Sound Life and supporting what is a truly powerful and important initiative. Their work is beautifully aligned to the values of our business, the industries we work in and what we are passionate about.

“The Dome is an incredible addition to our cultural landscape, not only providing people across Sydney with a space to unite and be inspired, but helping transform lives by delivering magical moments to people who need them most.”

Designed and donated by experience agency, George P Johnson, the 18 metre multi-function geodesic structure has been created to maximise energy flow, with a rose quartz crystal buried at the centre to ground the space and offer compassion, peace, tenderness and healing.

This social enterprise initiative is supported by the Saunders Family, Maitri Foundation, Vittoria, George P Johnson and Example.

Says Caleb Bush, SVP/MD GPJ, MD Project ANZ: “GPJ are so proud to support ASL and all it stands for. The sanctuary will be a fanastic community asset and we encourage all to get down there and meet the team onsite.”

Says Kahn: “We are thrilled to be partnering with two leading creative agencies in Sydney to help bring our vision to life and share our story with more Australians. Our core aim to help inspire over 50,000 Australians and international children by 2020 and with an extensive line-up of engaging and innovative programmes, upcoming activity and continued support from Example and GPJ we are positive we can make great strides towards our goal.”

The Dome can be hired for a range of events including conferences, product launches and award dinners, and corporate wellness programmes tailored for employees by the passionate team of A Sound Life professionals. Sydney businesses can offer their teams: yoga and mindfulness classes to focus and calm the mind, improve mood, performance, stress resilience and mental clarity; interactive music sessions to ignite the senses and cultivate creativity; energisers and icebreakers to inspire the team through the power of sound, and keynote wellness speakers with thoughtleaders to inspire and empower.

There is also an inspiring programme of workshops and sessions available to the public, hosted by world-renowned teachers including Forrest Yoga, Shiva Rea and Duncan Peak, and musicians Ben Lee, Lisa Mitchell and Lenka Kripac. Events such as LoveFest Sydney (a journey of sound, dance, music, art, connection, and movement), Sound Shower (combining chimes, Tibetan bowls, flutes and vocal harmonics) and Yoga Play (a restorative yoga sequence featuring violinist Maddy Boud) offer the healing, uplifting powers of sounds and meditation.
