In Dubai’s fast-paced, high-tech landscape, urban dwellers are increasingly seeking immersive ways to unplug and reconnect. The Theatre of Digital Art (TODA) is responding to this wellness trend by launching its first nighttime ritual in collaboration with eco-luxury brand Heveya. On Thursday, October 16, the 90-minute Heart-Opening Cacao and Sound Ceremony will fuse ancient plant medicine with cutting-edge digital art for an unforgettable sensory journey.
This debut collaboration marks an exciting new chapter in TODA’s Cloud series, positioning the famous 360° projection dome not just as a space for visual art, but as a sanctuary for mindfulness. As Anna Lebedeva, Managing Director of TODA Dubai, shared, the aim is not only to engage the senses but to “touch the soul” by bringing together sound, cacao, and visual artistry in one fluid experience.
The ritual is guided by Szilvia Timar, founder of The Mindful Paths, and is designed to gently yet profoundly soothe the nervous system. The pairing of cacao with sound healing is highly effective: ceremonial cacao acts as a gentle heart-opener, promoting emotional clarity and stress reduction, while the resonant tones of crystal singing bowls help align bodily frequencies disrupted by daily stress.
Guests will step onto plush, organic Heveya mats that “cocoon participants in comfort,” setting a foundation of physical ease for the spiritual work ahead. The session unfolds in measured, calming stages:
- Cleansing & Centering: A warm welcome and traditional smudging ritual to cleanse the energy of the space and participants.
- Heart-Opening: Mindful drinking of ceremonial cacao, celebrated for its ability to invite presence and emotional openness.
- Deep Immersion: Guided heart chakra meditation followed by a restorative crystal sound bath, carrying the group into collective stillness.
Thijs Veyfeyken, Managing Director of Heveya, emphasized that the partnership allows them to reimagine conscious rituals where “art, wellness, and sustainability meet.” This unique fusion appeals directly to the aspirational target audience seeking meaningful respite from digital fatigue.
The night concludes with gentle grounding and reflection, ensuring each guest leaves feeling restored and realigned with their inner wisdom. Whether you are new to ceremony or looking to deepen an existing mindfulness practice, this is a rare chance to achieve stillness in the most technologically inspiring space in Dubai.
Spots for this intimate, 90-minute nighttime ritual are limited. Don’t miss the opportunity to experience the future of wellness by blending the ancient medicine of cacao with breathtaking digital art.
