Coffee shops can incorporate sound therapy, and wellness centers can offer dining and sensory experiences, eliminating the need to switch between gyms, spas, and restaurants. Denovia Wellness, located on Yonge Street in Toronto, is such a multi-functional space. Denovia hosted a three-day event, inviting 2023 World Barista Champion Boram Um and Michelin-starred chef Masaki Saito to Toronto, combining specialty coffee, dining, sound therapy, and body treatments all in one weekend.
Technological treatments and Eastern wellness practices in the same space
Denovia Wellness offers NDIBA radiofrequency therapy, Bio-Well Energy Scanning, AI-assisted moxibustion, IV Drip, and a sound bath using Nepalese and Himalayan singing bowls. These programs primarily focus on recovery, circulation, stress management, and relaxation. INDIBA is a non-invasive radiofrequency therapy, Bio-Well is used for wellness scanning, and the sound bath utilizes singing bowls of varying sizes to create a unique sonic experience. The overall space is decorated in beige and wood tones with soft lighting, and the treatment beds, equipment, and singing bowls are placed in a hotel spa-like environment, creating a highly relaxing atmosphere.
From coffee and sound baths to limited-edition dining experiences
The three-day event was structured from basic to advanced levels, starting with a small coffee experience hosted by Boram Um on the first day. This world champion barista from Brazil presented his creation, "Pink Bourbon" coffee. Participants first enjoyed a 30-minute immersive audio experience, followed by drinks and desserts made with champion coffee beans. This process differed from typical coffee tastings, focusing not only on distinguishing acidity, aroma, or roast level, but also on detaching participants from phone notifications, work rhythms, and street noise to slowly appreciate the flavors. For those accustomed to replying to emails while drinking coffee, deliberately setting aside half an hour of quiet might feel more unfamiliar than the coffee itself.
The second day's Coffee Omakase combined coffee and food, a limited-time experience designed by Boram Um and Masaki Saito. The event began with a sound bath, followed by coffee, cocktails, and food pairings, with sessions running every two hours from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Although the name includes the concept of an omakase, it's not traditional sushi. Instead, it uses a creator-determined process and combination, allowing participants to experience the changes in taste, sound, and environment step-by-step, guided by the barista and chef. The appeal of this type of event isn't necessarily in luxurious ingredients, but rather in transforming the usually quick act of drinking coffee and eating into something that requires focused participation.
The third day marked the official opening of Denovia Wellness, allowing more people to explore the venue and its various facilities. The first 50 customers who purchased Boram Um Pink Bourbon's signature beverage received a mini singing bowl. Even just coming in for a cup of coffee, you'll encounter elements of sound therapy, breathing techniques, and relaxation. After the event, Pink Bourbon coffee will continue to be available in limited quantities at Denovia, ensuring this collaboration extends beyond a three-day event.
