"The Healing Oasis" is a sensory experience that combines the healing power of nature, music, and art to offer a space of respite for attendees. The space is designed as an immersive forest with lush trees and rich plants which give a calming atmosphere. As well as an interactive art installation that uses light, sound, and projection to create a multisensory experience. The installation responds to the natural surroundings and the music being played at the conference.
