The Experience
A carefully curated Sound for Wellbeing experience designed for the immersive environment of the planetarium dome.
To support a more spacious and immersive experience, this event is intentionally limited to a maximum of 45 participants, allowing for greater comfort, depth, and ease within the dome environment.
Step away from the pace of everyday life and into a space of rest, reflection, and perspective.
Blending live sound with expansive cosmic visuals, this experience invites you to experience the night sky in a different way, where sound, space, and imagery come together to create a deeply immersive and calming environment.
Reclining beneath a full-dome projection of the night sky, you are guided through a layered soundscape, composed and delivered live by Tessa Ann. Voice, instruments, and subtle electronic elements are woven together to support a gentle unfolding of sound and atmosphere.
With minimal guidance, the focus remains on direct experience. Sound is introduced with intention, allowing space for stillness, imagination, and a sense of expansion.
Rather than following a fixed narrative, the experience offers an open and reflective space where each person can engage in their own way, supported by the interplay of sound, space, and visual immersion.
Designed to support a sense of calm, rest, and renewed perspective, this experience offers a unique way to connect with sound and environment in a setting that inspires curiosity, wonder, and quiet awareness.
The experience is held in comfortable, fixed reclining seating, allowing you to settle with ease and be fully supported throughout.

We look forward to welcoming you beneath the stars — where listening becomes a way to pause, sense and reconnect.
The practice of therapeutic sound, like gong baths, uses sound vibration to help relax and reduce stress in the body. When you are more relaxed and less stressed it is easier for your body to activate its own natural healing mechanisms.
