Experience a peaceful evening of sound, story and deep relaxation.

“Āio” speaks to inner calm and stillness. In this immersive sound journey, traditional Māori instruments (taonga pūoro), pūrākau (storytelling) and waiata are woven together with the soothing tones of crystal singing bowls, chimes and ukulele.

The organic sounds of kōauau, pūtōrino, porotiti and pūtātara invite you to slow down, soften, and reconnect with your body and wairua. Through vibration, rhythm and story, this is a gentle inward journey designed to support relaxation and restoration.

The evening concludes with a nourishing plant-based dinner and dessert, included in your ticket, a warm and grounding way to close the experience.

What to expect

  • Guided sound journey with taonga pūoro and crystal bowls
  • Storytelling and gentle musical elements
  • A calm, welcoming and restorative atmosphere
  • Shared plant-based dinner and dessert after the session
