S1.24 Welcome Chaos

Life's unpredictability can be both exhilarating and daunting; as we journey through, we welcome chaos. Balancing personal and professional demands can often leave us feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and powerless. Welcome Chaos will equip you with transformative tools, empowering you to seize control of what you can, and to find calm amidst the chaos.

For S1.24, we’ve commissoned Daniel Byrne, sound healer, and Tina Bruce, breathwork and meditation facilitator, together with renowned lighting consultant, Lightmoves, and Melbourne-based sound studio Final Sound, to create a transformative wellbeing journey like no other.
