Reframe Sunset Wellbeing Experience 2026 in Dubai

Reframe: A Sunset Wellbeing Experience in Dubai is a three-hour evening at Terra in Expo City Dubai that moves from breathwork and yoga to intuitive painting, a gong sound journey and an outdoor dinner in the Terra Garden. Terra created it for Breast Cancer Awareness Month as an invitation to slow down and make space for yourself, and the whole programme is guided by facilitator Purva Kaushal.

Why Terra is running Reframe this month

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and Terra has chosen to mark it with an evening about care rather than a talk or a fundraiser. The idea is simple: an evening to step away from the everyday, notice how you feel and reconnect with yourself. Terra’s own line for it is “come as you are, move at your own pace, leave feeling recharged”, which tells you a lot about the pace of the night. The dinner is described as a gathering of like-minded women, so this is an evening shaped with women in mind, whether you come alone or with a friend.

How the evening runs

Terra has published a clear timeline, and the order matters, because each part prepares you for the next.

5:30pm: Breathwork and grounding yoga

The first 15 minutes are calming breathwork and gentle yoga, with time to set an intention for the evening. It is a short, soft start designed to shift you out of the working week.

6pm: Intuitive Art, Raw Expression

The first painting session is 15 minutes of open, unplanned painting. There is no subject to copy and no technique to learn: you simply respond to the canvas. No artistic experience is needed, and the point is to get something honest on the page before the next stage.

6:15pm: Deep somatic sound journey

The centrepiece is a 45-minute sound journey. You lie down with your eyes closed while Himalayan instruments and gongs are played around the room. Somatic sound work is about feeling vibration in the body as much as hearing it, and many people find this the part of the evening where they finally switch off.

7pm: Intuitive Art, Transformation

After the sound journey, you go back to the canvas you started earlier and spend half an hour transforming it into a personal expression of renewal. This two-part structure is the clever bit. You start the painting with a busy mind and finish it in a calmer state, and the difference often shows in the brushwork.

7:45pm: Dinner at Terra Garden

The evening closes with 45 minutes of dinner outdoors in the Terra Garden, under the evening sky. Guests choose a preferred dinner option, and Terra shares the menu as a download on its booking page. It is a time for conversation and connection, and a gentle way back into the world after an evening of looking inward.

About Terra at Expo City Dubai

Terra was the Sustainability Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai and remains one of the most recognisable buildings at Expo City. Designed by Grimshaw, it sits beneath a huge tree-like canopy carrying more than 6,000 square metres of solar cells, surrounded by 19 “energy trees” inspired by the dragon’s blood trees of Socotra. The building was designed to aim for net-zero energy and water, with much of it set underground beneath an earth roof and walls of local Hajar mountain stone.

It is fitting that an evening about slowing down takes place here. The pavilion’s gardens, shaded courtyard and earthy materials give the setting a calm, grounded feel, and the Terra Garden is a lovely spot for an outdoor dinner once the temperature drops at the end of October. Terra sits on Sidr Avenue in the Sustainability District, a short walk from the other landmarks of Expo City. For more to see on the site, browse our attractions guide.

Who it suits

• Women wanting an evening for themselves: the format is gentle, structured and without pressure.
• Solo guests: the Solo Journey Pass covers one person, and the shared dinner makes it easy to meet others.
• Friends, sisters or mothers and daughters: the Duo Journey Pass covers two guests, with dinner included on both passes.
• Curious beginners: if breathwork, sound baths or intuitive painting have been on your list, this is a way to try all three in one sitting.
• Anyone marking Breast Cancer Awareness Month who would like to do so with a moment of self-care.

Good to know

Terra has not set a dress code, but the programme involves yoga and lying down for the sound journey, so loose, comfortable clothing makes sense, and something you do not mind getting paint on. Dinner is outdoors, so a light layer is useful as the evening cools.

Bookings are made through Terra’s page, linked from this listing, where you pick your pass and dinner option. The facilitator, Purva Kaushal, leads every stage, so you never need to know what comes next.
