AEB Foundation presents The Comfy Gala, a film led cultural movement using storytelling to shine a light on wellness across America and remind us that connection and community are where change begins.

Film • Fashion • Wellness • Creators • Business

An immersive evening designed to bring people together, spark meaningful conversation, and show how each of us can play a role in creating positive change for the greater good.

THE EXPERIENCE

Hosted inside the Sistine Chapel Experience, guests will be surrounded by the breathtaking art of Michelangelo while engaging in sensory driven wellness moments that encourage presence, reflection, and connection, including:

• Massage experiences
• Curated scents and aromatherapy
• Elevated tastes and beverages
• Inspiring guest speakers

FILM AS THE CATALYST

Throughout the evening, guests will experience exclusive sneak preview clips of Spiral woven into the program. The filmmakers, along with the individual whose life story inspired the film, will speak on healing, storytelling, and the power of using your voice.

Directed by Bill Guttentag, 2× Academy Award® winner
Narrated by Michelle Trachtenberg (Gossip Girl, Buffy the Vampire Slayer)

✨ Spiral is slated for a theatrical release, with more details to be announced.

THE COMFY GALA DRESS CODE
