There is a particular kind of Los Angeles afternoon that money alone cannot buy. On Saturday, October 24, 2026, MEWELL, the wellness and community collective founded by Cindy Uen, gathered a small circle of guests at The Glass House in Beverly Hills for Mansion Manifest Wishes, an intimate afternoon of sound baths, crystal intention work, and intention setting inside one of the most striking private residences in the city.
The setting did half the work before a single bowl was struck. The Glass House wraps its courtyard in curved walls of glass, and the late afternoon sun poured across the stone terrace where rows of yoga mats waited. Beyond the pool, the canyon fell away toward the city. It is the kind of room, except it is outdoors, that makes people lower their voices without being asked.
A Program Built in Layers
MEWELL kept the guest list deliberately small, and the afternoon moved like a tasting menu, one course building on the last. Check-in opened at 3:45 PM, and from there the program unfolded in five movements.
Carina Tsang, LCSW, opened with Reflection and Intention Setting, grounding the room before anything esoteric began. There is a reason MEWELL put a licensed therapist first. Manifestation talk floats away fast; Tsang anchored it in the practical work of naming what you actually want and what has been in the way.
Cindy Uen followed with Joy and Flow, her own session, part movement and part permission slip. Uen, who also runs the creative studio Soul Much Fun, builds these gatherings the way she builds a room: warm first, beautiful second, meaningful throughout.
Then came the most tactile hour of the day. Lemurea led Build Crystal Intention Bowl, where each guest assembled a crystal intention planter bowl to take home, choosing stones and setting an intention into the arrangement. It sounds like a craft project until you watch a table of adults go completely quiet over bowls of crystal and salt. The bowl is the souvenir you keep using, which is the point.
The Sound Bath
At 5:15 PM, Iza Louise took the courtyard into an Alchemy Crystal Sound Bath. Rows of crystal singing bowls lined a woven rug by the pool, and the sound moved through the glass and stone in a way a studio session cannot match. Hard surfaces are usually the enemy of a sound bath. Here, the architecture became the instrument, with tones reflecting off the curved glass walls and settling over the mats.
Louise closed the formal program with Manifest Your Wishes at 5:50 PM, the moment the afternoon had been building toward: guests spoke or wrote their wishes with the sound still ringing in the space. Then the gathering loosened into the MEWELL Social, with photos, conversation, and gift bags as the light went long over Beverly Hills.
The Gift Bag Everyone Talked About
Every guest went home with a gift bag valued at more than $500, against a $95 ticket that MEWELL values at over $2,000 in total experience. The bag included the crystal intention planter bowl each guest built, a custom manifest bouquet from Bloome, ME | LAB Caviar, Apple Stem Cell and Collagen Ampoules plus a ME | LAB leather tote, a set of XNT Studio press-on nails, peptides, and Dear Me tea, with a few surprises on top.
The partner list tells you how MEWELL pulls this off. The afternoon drew support from WeFluens, Dear Me Psychotherapy, Lemurea, Bloome, Sound and Stone Co, Virtu.la, ME | LAB Beauty, Mosu Food, and XNT Studio, among others, a cross-section of the Los Angeles wellness world that treats these gatherings as community infrastructure rather than marketing.
The House Itself
The Glass House deserves its own paragraph, because guests kept photographing it between sessions. The residence curves around its courtyard in a sweep of floor-to-ceiling glass, with an olive tree anchoring the terrace and the pool stretching toward the canyon edge. From the mats, the view ran past the water to the downtown skyline in the distance.
Private residences have become the quiet power venues of Los Angeles wellness. A hotel ballroom gives you neutrality; a house gives you a host. Every MEWELL guest was, in a real sense, received into someone’s home for the afternoon, and the programming leaned into that intimacy: no stage, no microphone, no back row. When Iza Louise played, she was close enough to see. When Tsang spoke, she could hold the whole courtyard at conversational volume.
That scale is also why the event can charge $95 and still feel like a gift. A sound bath for thirty people in a glass courtyard above Beverly Hills is not a business that scales. It is a business that deepens, one gathering at a time.
The Host Behind MEWELL
Cindy Uen works under a simple philosophy she puts at the top of her own bio: life as art, make it your masterpiece. As founder and creative director, she curates beauty, style, space, and wellbeing across MEWELL, her studio Soul Much Fun, and ME | LAB Beauty, and Mansion Manifest Wishes is what happens when all three instincts share one afternoon.
You can see the creative director’s hand in the details: the color story of pale blue balloons against the glass, the woven rug under the crystal bowls, wish cards fanned across the mat for the closing ritual. Nothing at the event was there by accident, and nothing felt staged for a camera. Guests took plenty of photos anyway. That is the difference between decorating an event and directing one.
Why Gatherings Like This Are Winning
Los Angeles does not lack wellness events. What it lacks is wellness events with a point of view. The big conferences give you a lanyard and a tote bag. MEWELL gives you a bowl you built with your own hands, a wish you said out loud, and a room full of people who heard you say it.
That is the bet Cindy Uen is making with MEWELL, described in its own words as wellness that feels warm, alive, and shared. The Mansion Manifest Wishes guest list was capped, the event sold on Luma at $95 per guest with all sales final, and spots were gone well before the day. Scarcity helps, but repeat guests are the real metric, and the social hour at the end, balloons up and mats rolled away, looked like a reunion more than a first meeting.

How to Get Into the Next One
MEWELL announces gatherings on Instagram at @mewellevent, and registration runs through Luma, where Mansion Manifest Wishes was listed. Tickets for this edition were $95 per guest, paid by Zelle to the venue partner, with registration approved by MEWELL once payment was confirmed. The address of The Glass House was shared only with confirmed guests, which is standard for private-residence events in Beverly Hills.
The practical advice is simple: follow @mewellevent and @cindyuen_, turn on post notifications, and request to join the moment a new date posts. The October 24 gathering was capped at a very limited number of spots, and MEWELL’s own listing warned it would sell out soon. It did.
Mansion Manifest Wishes was, in the end, exactly what its name promises: a mansion, a set of wishes, and an afternoon engineered to make both feel possible. In a city that sells transformation in a bottle, MEWELL is selling it in a room, with people, on a Saturday afternoon. That is a harder thing to build, and a better one.
