BAISAŌ Experience
Where traditional Tea Ceremony meets immersive live art and sound.
An intimate, multi-sensory ritual where Tea, visual art, and music merge into a single, harmonious experience. Step into the historic Shaffy Zaal and enter a meditative space where presence, beauty, and inner stillness take center stage.
Led by Bruno Sitton, the BAISAŌ Experience invites you on a journey of connection and introspection — a space where Tea becomes the bridge between reality and imagination.This special edition features interactive digital visuals by Vincent Rang, responding live to the movements and energy of the Tea ritual, alongside a layered sound design by Delawhere that deepens the sensory experience through ambient, cinematic textures.
About The BAISAŌ Experience
A Gathering of Infinite Possibilities
The BAISAŌ Experience is a physical manifestation of the BAISAŌ World. It brings people together in real spaces to share Tea, presence, and a deep sense of possibility. Guided by Tea, each gathering opens a portal to a world shaped by art, connection, and intention — a moment outside of the ordinary that sparks the imagination and holds the quiet power to transform.
“I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.”
— Albert Einstein, Cosmic Religion
In a time of great change, the BAISAŌ Experience creates a space to return to what is essential: the act of coming together, of weaving presence and creativity into a shared moment. These gatherings move beyond the cup, merging music, movement, installation art, and storytelling into a living, breathing experience of clarity and connection.
Each BAISAŌ Experience is an immersive journey, designed to awaken the senses and quiet the mind. Through Tea, we reconnect to ourselves and each other, creating a moment where the body and the subconscious can do the work of finding clarity — a moment to see new possibilities and make the decisions that lead to positive change.

Bruno Sitton
Founder & Host of the BAISAŌ Experience
Bruno Sitton is the founder of BAISAŌ and has been practicing the ancient Tea ceremony for a decade. His work weaves Tea with sound, space, and silence to create accessible, introspective experiences. After previously creating RIPPLES at Felix Meritis, he now returns with a new layer — one where Tea becomes the guiding thread through a sensory journey of light, connection, and transformation.
Vincent Rang
Visual Artist – Digital Motion & Living Systems
Vincent Rang explores the unseen movements of the natural world through digital light and generative art. His work translates elemental rhythms — such as water, wind, and breath — into immersive visual landscapes that respond in real time. For the BAISAŌ Experience, Vincent brings his sensibility for flow and reflection into a new dimension, creating a living artwork that listens and reacts to the unfolding Tea ritual.
Sound Design by Delawhere
Delawhere (Maxime Rogron) is a French composer and sound designer, based between Rotterdam and Paris. His work lies at the intersection of ambient, electronica, film score, and conceptual sound design. Trained as a classical pianist and driven by a deep emotional sensibility, Maxime crafts poetic, immersive sound worlds that guide the listener through subtle, cinematic atmospheres. His compositions often begin with fragments — a piano motif, a breath, a sonic memory — and unfold like a moving landscape: weightless, introspective, and timeless. For the BAISAŌ Experience, Delawhere creates a soundscape that gently envelops the space, echoing the ceremony’s rhythm and stillness, and inviting participants into a state of expanded presence.
