Organisation Description

Allpamama was founded in 2010 by artist Tsang Man-tung. The name originates from the pre-Inca Quechua language, meaning “Mother Earth.”

With art, music, life, and meditation as its core pillars, Allpamama offers a diverse range of meditation courses and activities. In addition to Himalayan singing bowls, various sound media are used to guide participants back to their true selves. The teaching emphasizes “listening,” “awareness,” and “cultivation,” encouraging participants to become aware of everyday life through listening and to transform personal habits through practice.

Integrating meditation, art, and stage aesthetics, Allpamama has produced seven Theatrical Meditation productions since 2017, with all creations rooted in personal cultivation. The “Sounditation” project was also initiated, using sound to lead participants into a state of meditation, then letting go of the self – “me” – and returning to stillness.

Collaborating partners have included the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, Hong Kong Museum of Art, M+ Museum, West Kowloon Cultural District, Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden, ArtisTree, and Lululemon, among others. Allpamama continues to promote a meditative lifestyle through cross-disciplinary collaboration.
