We The Conscious is shaping a new cultural standard for how we live, heal and connect, from its light-filled studio at Hackney Downs.

We The Conscious is a breath-led, multidisciplinary studio based at Hackney Downs Studios, designed to meet the emotional and energetic needs of modern life. Founded in response to burnout and disconnection, the studio offers a different kind of environment. Wellness here is grounded, inclusive and deeply human. What began as a personal search for healing has grown into a shared mission. The work invites people to reconnect with themselves and with others, and to begin living with awareness and integrity.

At the centre of the practice is the breath, used as a tool for regulation and emotional access. Every element of the studio is designed to support that connection, from immersive group sessions to community-led gatherings. The environment blends sensory cues such as scent, sound, movement and light to support stillness and presence. Sessions include conscious connected breathwork, somatic release and community projects like StrollSocial, a free walking club that encourages conversation in nature. The approach to healing is unpolished and responsive, shaped by experience rather than performance.

The studio is intentionally flexible. Practitioners and participants use the space to co-create, refine and try new ideas. No two days look alike. Mats are laid out, sessions are designed, signs are printed. Behind the scenes, daily tasks such as cleaning, coordination and communication are treated as part of the process. What remains consistent is the care given to how people arrive, how they move through the space and how they leave. There is a quiet intention to every detail.

Hackney Downs has provided the conditions for We The Conscious to evolve. One month after opening, the studio had already become a place for experimentation and connection. The work taking place here draws on breath, sound, scent and body to speak to the needs of contemporary life. The surrounding community of creatives and small businesses has supported a culture of curiosity and exchange. With a vision to become a global reference point for conscious living, We The Conscious continues to develop new ways of working, while holding space for people to feel, reflect and return to themselves.
