Sound sessions for companies
The team lies down, listens and genuinely rests. A shared experience, at your office or wherever your event is, in the capital region and beyond.
What it is
The team lies down and listens. Through the session tuned instruments play (bowls, gongs, bells) and the body does the rest.
What happens in that time is real rest: breathing lengthens, the body lets go, and the mind winds down. Plenty of people fall asleep. They leave light, clear-headed, and with the feeling of having genuinely stopped, which a working day rarely gives anyone.
And it is lived together. Being quiet in the same room does something for a team that no team-building activity does: it does not put them to coordinating, it lets them be together. Each person has their own experience, and they all have it at the same time.
Nothing to know beforehand, nothing to prepare, and nobody has to speak in front of their colleagues. They lie down, they listen, and they leave.
What the research says
Less tension, anger, fatigue and depressed mood after a singing bowl session, measured in 62 people. The effect was larger in those who had never attended, which is the situation of almost any team.
Goldsby et al., 2017 · PubMed 27694559 · observational, no control group
Moderate effects on stress, anxiety and wellbeing across 23 randomised trials of structured pauses inside the working day.
Systematic review · PubMed 30714811 · a different intervention; the numbers do not transfer
Mentally disengaging from work, not merely stopping, is the factor most consistently associated with improvements in wellbeing and performance.
Sonnentag and Fritz's recovery model
Listening as a group brings people emotionally closer and reduces perceived social distance. Synchrony between them predicts group cohesion and performance.
