At COY, we are committed to creating a safe, inclusive community where all people feel at home. In order to do this, we went out to YOU - our COYunity and asked what guidelines you felt should play an integral part of making this happen and ensuring the ongoing safety of all members. When you walk through COY’s doors, know that you are agreeing with heartfelt authenticity to these guidelines and codes of conduct, so we can continue to provide the best experience for all.
COY is inclusive and supports people from all walks of life. We are wholehearted champions and allies to the LGBTIQ+ community and expect all people who commune at COY to adhere to the radical inclusivity of the pride community.
COY is a space where events held here can bring up a multitude of emotions. We understand that sometimes somatic release is a part of the process, but ask that if you are in a state of activation, you seek the support of the space holders and consider the experience of all heartbeats in the container. We do our utmost to ensure onsite trauma-informed facilitation is woven into each and every COY event, and in the event that you require addtional support, post-event support or have feedback, we are hear to help hold this and if necessary, refer you onto any other resources and support that may be required, as we are not trained mental health professionals, so when you choose to participate in any event, please consider if the event is right for your current emotional state, and if you’re unsure, reach out to grace at hello@centreofyou.com.au.
Centre of you is a safe space. On entering, you agree to display socially acceptable behaviour towards facilitators and participants, verbally, physically and otherwise. We do not condone violence, abusive behaviour or harassment in any form and if we feel this behaviour is occuring, we have the authority to ask you to leave the event.
Centre of You understands that many people enjoy plant medicines and other forms of state-altering substances. Some may even feel these substances may enhance an experience at COY. In order to ensure the safety and sacredness of all containers, we ask that you be discerning in your decision to participate in the taking of any substances that may alter your conscious state and disrupt the energy or safety of an event. If you are intoxicated, you will be asked to leave.
