Chahé Soderholm

Chahé has been working at the intersection of wellness and ideas for nearly three decades. In 1997, he founded the Wellness Information Network, an early web portal devoted to natural health and alternative medicine, and produced Wellness 2000, a holistic convention held at the Rosemont Convention Center. He recognized, well before the field caught up, that healing wanted a wider conversation.

In 2006, he founded Digital Aisle, a pioneering interactive shopper-marketing agency whose client roster grew to include Starbucks, Disney, Pfizer, Procter & Gamble, Diageo, Hewlett-Packard, and a long list of others. He spent years inside the architecture of brands, learning how attention is shaped, and how rare it is for attention to land somewhere true.

"Each craft is the same craft. Making the space where something quieter can be heard."

Today, Chahé carries the branding and creative direction of SoderWorld alongside his practice as a sound healer and meditation teacher. He leads workshops here often and offers private sound sessions where the nervous system can finally set itself down. His teaching is unhurried. His instruments are tuned to feel.

He also invents. The Paka Pillow, his design for stillness on the move, lives in SoderWorld's shop. He makes music with Cosmik Giggle, Hallowed Bones, and The Great Mystery Band. Each project is its own kind of practice. Sound, design, and stillness pursued without much distinction between the studio and the meditation room.
