From June 3 to 10, we at Hess Sound had the exciting opportunity to open our first pop-up store in Berlin. For one week, Auguststraße in Berlin Mitte became a place of sounds and encounters. People from all over Berlin as well as from the immediate neighborhood had the chance to drop by and get to know our fascinating Peter Hess® Singing Bowls.
For our team, this project was a unique undertaking. We worked hard to create a welcoming and inspiring atmosphere in which visitors could explore the world of singing bowls. We were very pleased that both sound enthusiasts who were already familiar with our products and people who were coming into contact with singing bowls for the first time found their way to us.
Great interest in sound workshops
In the pop-up store, visitors had the opportunity to try out our singing bowls and get to know the differences between them. It was wonderful to watch them being enchanted by the gentle vibrations and soothing sounds of the singing bowls. Our evening sound workshops also attracted great interest, and participants were able to experience how versatile singing bowls are in different contexts. At this point, we would like to express our special thanks to the Peter Hess® Institute regional group Berlin/Brandenburg, who supported us with the workshops.
While Hess Sound owner Jana Hess presented sound elements in beauty and wellness, Barbara Senf showed how singing bowls can be used in a very practical way in everyday life. Janina Picard gave an exciting Breath & Sound workshop in English. Eva-Maria Hähnel and Anita Böttcher illustrated how beginners can successfully get started with sound. Ramona Bannert covered the topic of imagery journeys with sound, and Janine Gabelmann gave an introduction to the world of sound yoga. Last but not least, Norbert Kasprowski demonstrated how singing bowls can be used for self-care.
"This week was a special experience for me and our team," says Jana Hess. "It was great to connect with Berliners and hear about the experiences they have had with singing bowls so far. We learned a lot from it and are already looking forward to our next pop-up store."
Sound at INNOCOS Berlin
At the same time as our pop-up store, INNOCOS Berlin took place. There, too, Hess Sound held a sound yoga workshop led by Janine Gabelmann, which met with a great response. The beauty fair offered an additional platform to share the fascination and enthusiasm people feel for singing bowls and the use of sound.
Looking forward to more pop-up stores
All in all, our pop-up store in Berlin was a complete success. We are grateful for the opportunity to reach so many people with our singing bowls. The encounters and conversations have inspired and encouraged us to continue offering high-quality sound instruments and to carry the positive effect of sound out into the world.
We would like to sincerely thank all visitors, supporters and participants. Without you, this experience would not have been possible. Let's bring sound into our lives together and look forward to future pop-up stores and inspiring encounters.
