Corporate Sound Bath Vancouver Case Study: Workplace Wellness for Blakes Law Firm
Employees unwind during Solar Soul Circle's corporate sound bath at Blakes Law Firm's downtown Vancouver office. Held in a waterfront boardroom overlooking the city, the customized wellness experience featured crystal singing bowls, guided relaxation, ambient candlelight, and optional comfort rentals, creating a calming midday reset for staff.
Corporate Sound Bath Wellness Experience in Vancouver, BC
Helping One of Canada's Leading Law Firms Create Space to Pause
When Blakes (Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP) in Vancouver began planning a staff wellness event, the firm's social committee wanted to offer something different from a traditional lunch-and-learn or team activity.
Heather Liesch reached out to Solar Soul Circle looking for a calming corporate wellness experience that could accommodate approximately 60 employees while fitting naturally into the workday.
Together, we designed a customized corporate sound bath experience that encouraged employees to step away from their desks, slow down, and reset in a meaningful way.
Understanding the Space Before the Experience
Every corporate sound bath we facilitate begins long before the first singing bowl is played.
Prior to the event, we met with Heather at the Blakes Vancouver office to better understand the goals of the wellness initiative and evaluate the venue. Their stunning boardroom on the 35th floor overlooks Vancouver's waterfront, providing a peaceful backdrop for the experience.
During our site visit we:
Reviewed the room layout and participant flow
Tested the acoustics
Took measurements and reference photos
Created a customized room layout mock-up
Discussed setup logistics and guest experience
To thank Heather for coordinating the event, we also brought flowers to our planning meeting, a small gesture that reflects how much we value our client relationships.
This preparation allowed us to create an experience that felt intentional from the moment guests arrived.
Supporting Employee Engagement Before the Event
To help build excitement and encourage participation, we designed an event flyer that Blakes distributed internally to employees before the event.
The flyer introduced the sound bath experience, outlined what participants could expect, and helped employees feel comfortable trying something many would be experiencing for the first time.
Designing the Experience
Rather than hosting one large session, we recommended dividing participants into two smaller groups.
This allowed us to create a more immersive and supportive atmosphere while giving everyone enough space to fully relax.
Each 40-minute corporate sound bath included:
Gentle arrival music
Guided breathing to help participants settle
A deeply relaxing sound bath using crystal singing bowls, chimes, handpan and other calming instruments
Two sound practitioners (Alex Ma and Saja Light) positioned on opposite sides of the room to create an immersive surround sound experience
Guided grounding and relaxation
Quiet moments of stillness
A gentle closing integration before returning to the workday
Photos and videos from the event
Our team also handled all setup and teardown so the event could run seamlessly for Blakes team.
Creating a Comfortable Space for Everyone
Every workplace includes participants with different comfort levels and physical needs, so flexibility is an important part of our corporate wellness experiences.
For this event, Blakes added our optional comfort package, including rentals for:
Yoga mats
Blankets
Bolsters
Pillows
Participants were also welcome to remain seated in comfortable boardroom chairs if preferred. This proved especially valuable for employees who were pregnant or simply felt more comfortable sitting during the session.
Optional eye masks were available for anyone wishing to deepen their relaxation. Due to scent sensitivities among the staff, we opted out of smudging the room with sage ahead of time and usage of essential oils and diffusers.
By offering multiple ways to participate, every employee could enjoy the experience in a way that felt right for them.
Transforming the Boardroom
Corporate boardrooms aren't typically associated with rest and relaxation. With thoughtful staging, they absolutely can be.
After arriving early, we transformed the meeting room into a calming wellness space by:
Lowering the blinds
Dimming the lights
Adding ambient mood lighting
Using flameless candles throughout the room
Carefully arranging the instruments to create an inviting focal point
The result was a peaceful environment that felt worlds away from a typical workday while remaining perfectly suited to a professional office setting.
A Thoughtful Finishing Touch
At the conclusion of each session, every participant received a curated gift bag to continue the experience beyond the event.
Each gift bag included:
A unique intention card
A heart-shaped gemstone
Solar Soul Circle stickers
A business card
A Google review card
A reusable mesh gift bag
One of our favourite moments came after the sessions ended.
Guests naturally gathered together, comparing their intention cards and gemstones while sharing what each message meant to them. Watching colleagues connect through these small personal touches reminded us that meaningful wellness experiences often continue long after the final sound has faded.

The Results
The response from participants was overwhelmingly positive. Many employees commented on how relaxed they felt returning to work, while others shared that it was their first sound bath experience and that they would happily attend another.
Participant Feedback
“Solar Soul Circle Sound Healing recently facilitated a sound bath at my law firm. I cannot express enough how perfect of an event this was. It was a much-needed opportunity for everyone to take a break from the workday and remember to relax and unwind. This was my first sound bath experience, and I am now already looking forward to my next one! It was a huge hit amongst all the staff in attendance.
Everything from the planning to execution ran very smoothly, Alex was great to work with and was very accommodating for all of our needs. Highly recommend!”
“So peaceful and refreshing! Definitely recommend for a staff social event!”

Why It Worked
A successful corporate wellness experience is about far more than playing beautiful instruments. It starts with understanding the client's goals, the venue, and the people attending.
For Blakes, every detail was intentionally planned, from an on-site consultation and custom room layout to splitting the event into two smaller sessions for a more immersive experience. Flexible seating options, comfort rentals, thoughtful lighting, and personalized gift bags ensured every participant felt welcome and supported.
The result was a seamless wellness experience that helped employees step away from the demands of the workday, reconnect, and return feeling refreshed, grounded, and appreciated.
