In March 2020 BC, we were poised to open something very special in the heart of Melbourne’s CBD that had never been seen before. A dedicated luxe meditation & wellbeing hideaway where Melburnians could seek refuge from life’s busyness and overwhelm. Our Mindfulness Meditation sessions were unique in that they had two parts to them. 25 min of delicious pre-chill time in our Luxe Lounge, and then 25 mins in your own sheer-curtained private Cocoon for an audio-guided meditation.
Our Cocoon Sessions would run every half hour, Mon-Fri from 11am to 7pm. This meant that we would be there to support the corporate community whenever they needed a mental health break or just wanted to escape from it all to reset. We also had a number of Wellbeing Workshops, that we hoped to expand upon as we grew.
