About the initiative

Mabuhay Gardens is a storied cultural venue with a legendary history. The building has hosted performances by legends including Louis Armstrong, Allen Ginsberg, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Dead Kennedys, Iggy Pop, The Sex Pistols, The Ramones, The Specials, Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Herbie Hancock, R.E.M., Robin Williams, Whoopi Goldberg, Soundgarden, Bad Religion, Dave Chappelle, and many others. Via CrowdDoing, we are regenerating the Mab as a hybrid cultural ecosystem: live music, dance, comedy, rentals, popup culinary lab, off-peak wellness partnerships, art-walk activations, and solarpunk / regenerative-culture programming.

Sound baths and meditation programming represent one of the strongest opportunities to use the Mab's off-peak hours — afternoons and early evenings when the room would otherwise sit dark — as a wellness space. We're looking for someone to help build partnerships with sound practitioners, meditation facilitators, and wellness communities to create regular programming.

What you'll do

- Partnership mapping — Build a working map of sound bath practitioners, meditation facilitators, and wellness communities whose work could find a home at the Mab.

- Program concept development — Shape formats for regular sessions, series, and special events that fit the Mab's schedule and acoustic space.

- Genuine community connections — Approach wellness communities with real curiosity about their needs first.

- Concept handoff and documentation — Bring well-researched partnership concepts to the Mabuhay producing team with full context.

Who this role is for

Somebody with real, demonstrable skill in at least two of the following:

- Experience in sound healing, meditation facilitation, or wellness community organizing

- Event programming or community organizing experience

- A genuine connection to wellness communities

- Curious mind: you love learning about how wellness communities find and use spaces

Time commitment & structure

- Flexible, part-time, mostly asynchronous

- Ongoing commitment, renewable

- Onboarding via CrowdDoing's standard volunteer orientation

CrowdDoing is an equal-opportunity volunteer organization. We welcome contributors of every background, geography, and career stage. This is an unpaid volunteer role and service-learning opportunity.
