The World's First 'Wellness Shed' is a Tiger Shed!
Published: 20/10/2017
On the 19th October 2017, GLORIOUS! Soups brought the world's first 'Wellness Shed' to Shoreditch for a special virtual reality mindfulness experience. We are proud to have been chosen to manufacture the Wellness Shed, to be a part of the unique pop-up event!
The Wellness Experience
Let's set the scene. You walk into a beautifully crafted Tiger Shed, don a pair of VR glasses, look down, and suddenly you're stirring a pot of soup. Then, as you keep stirring, binaural music plays which encourages mindfulness. You slow down... you keep stirring... you take a few moments to be mindful. You escape the mayhem of society, and you're rewarded with a real bowl of soup, too!

The Importance of Mindfulness
Life can be stressful. Deadlines, commuting, bills, work, money (or lack of...) can contribute to the hectic nature of our modern lives. It's important to make time to relax, to stop and smell the flowers... or in this case - stop and stir the soup! Myles Hopper, co-founder of Mindful Chef, said: “GLORIOUS! Soups ‘Wellness Shed’ was an ingenious way to experience mindfulness. The virtual reality technology really immerses you in a kitchen environment and it did feel very calming to stir the pot of soup slowly.”

GLORIOUS! Soups
GLORIOUS! Soups held the pop-up event to mark the launch of their new and improved range. Claire Roper, from GLORIOUS! Soups said: “Our new range of Super Soups is designed to give you the energy boost you need to get you through your working day. There’s no need to worry about whether they’re good for you or not – so take some time to heat up a Super Soups pot, stir it slowly for two minutes, then eat mindfully savouring all the delicious flavours. “We really hope people enjoyed our Wellness Shed virtual reality mindfulness experience in London as we believe it reflected exactly how we’d love people to enjoy our soups.”
