Guests are invited to experience a day full of meaningful connections and heavenly drinks, followed by an evening of non-stop beats to enhance the energy.
Dubai, UAE – June: In a city known for its high-octane weekends and glamorous nightlife, Sohum Wellness Sanctuary—founded by Tanya Mansotra—is rewriting the rules with its latest pop-up series, Upaya Festival. Designed as a soulful coffee party with a twist, this conscious gathering merges sound, movement, and mindful connection in the heart of Al Quoz.
Guests are welcomed into a boho-chic atmosphere with the simple but powerful act of selecting a chakra-based card upon arrival—an invitation to reflect, connect, and start meaningful conversations. The bar serves ceremonial cacao, vibrant matcha, and inventive coffee blends infused with Ayurvedic herbs, all of which enhance clarity and intention without the need for alcohol.

Set within the peaceful confines of Sohum Wellness Sanctuary, the event pulses with a Boiler Room-style setup and a euphoric blend of afro and techno house beats that elevate the energy without overwhelming the senses. The Upaya Festival is more than a party—it’s a portal to authentic community and spiritual upliftment.
The celebration doesn’t end when the music fades. Guests are invited to ground themselves with post-party healing sessions and explore Sohum’s thoughtfully curated menu of high-vibrational food. Each dish is crafted with purpose, using ingredients known to nourish, energise, and balance. The on-site retail boutique further enhances the wellness journey, offering crystals and lifestyle items chosen to support alignment and intention.

Sohum x Upaya’s weekly coffee parties will run every Saturday from 21st June, between 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM. Whether you’re looking to unwind mindfully, meet like-minded souls, or discover a new kind of weekend ritual—this is where clarity becomes the new kind of high.
