QUALIA – Full-Dome Show at Chabot Space / OAKLAND

Chambers of Awe & Laura Inserra present

Get ready for an unparalleled full-dome experience. QUALIA is a transformative planetarium film that captivates all ages. This isn't just a show; It's a groundbreaking experience that merges immersive sound, 360º visuals, ancient wisdom, and cutting-edge technology to awaken your senses, deepen your connection with nature, and inspire inner transformation.

Stepping Into a Portal of Wonder, Connection, and Transformation

The word qualia refers to the deeply personal nature of perception—the colors we see, the emotions we feel, the meaning we assign to experience. It reminds us that reality is not something outside of us, but something we co-create within.

Whether you come to relax, reflect, dream, heal, or simply be, QUALIA meets you where you are—and carries you somewhere new.

What to expect from this one-of-a-kind journey:

The 5 Elements Unveiled: Explore Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space through breathtaking, larger-than-life projections that bring these fundamental forces to life.

Healing Soundscapes: Be enveloped by ceremonial music, a unique offering played with rare instruments from sacred traditions across the globe. Here music becomes a tool meticulously designed to awaken your senses and recharge your body.

Expanded Consciousness: Witness visuals that go beyond the visible, offering both the 'overview effect' of observing our planet from above, and the 'inner-view effect' of profound self-exploration and discovery.

QUALIA takes you beyond the ordinary into a state of awe and wonder.

Let your journey begin...

Combining the power of sound, wisdom traditions, and cutting-edge technology to facilitate awe-inducing experiences, inner transformations, and healing.

​Founded by Laura Inserra, Chambers of AWE is an immersive production company rooted in decades of experience in immersive productions, global cross-cultural studies, and healing practices.

Our passion is to help overcome the growing imbalance between humans and nature, our loss of community, and detachment from ancient wisdom.

We facilitate immersive and transformative experiences designed to enhance profound shifts of consciousness, deepen our relationship with nature, and facilitate inner transformation and healing.

Our productions feature musical journeys crafted with ceremonial instruments and field recordings, enhanced with 360º visuals and CGI content anchored in ancient cross-cultural wisdom and human-made art.

We use cutting-edge technology to augment some of the natural sound sources, creating immersive environments with a vast spectrum of frequencies, perceptible through our bones and other meta-sensory receptors. In these settings music becomes experiential.

The immersive 360º visuals give a deeper layer of introspection, providing a lens that our naked eyes alone cannot reveal. This allows us to look at the vastness of reality with new eyes, seeing ordinary life in extraordinary ways.
