Read moreSince I was in Canary Wharf I decided to have a look at this. It turned out to be a short trippy experience by light projections and mirrors. Technology made sure there were moments of brilliance and intrigue, but the use of Buddha-like figures and other psychedelic new-age imageries reminded me only of places like Buddha Bar (defunct as of 2012) and their CDs in the 2000s and early 2010s, a time when lounge music was hip which I was a fan of. Then there were scenes with some made up 'alphabets', what was the creator thinking? The experience for me was like Western interpretations of Eastern philosophies, 'Sanskrit tattoos on a white person to look cool', a sense of cultural appropriation was felt.
However, I think it would work as a side attraction on a big screen in a bar restaurant setting, or a night club where it wouldn't be judged in the same way.

The visuals where a let down and given that it was marketed as 'An Immersive Journey into Mindfulness and Transformation Through Meditation, Bodywork, and Breathwork' I would have expected a deeper dive into the matter, however the various rooms were pretty basic in terms of substance.

As someone who has practiced it before it wasn't a problem for me, but anyone unfamiliar with the technique would likely struggle based on the explanation. The second room was pleasant but seating spaces too limited for the number of guests. If you just want to take some pretty pictures for Instagram, this will do. Both me and my partner left disappointed and annoyed at the high ticket prices for...
