Shake It Off - Your Weekly Dose of Physical & Emotional Fitness.
Apr
29

Shake It Off - Your Weekly Dose of Physical & Emotional Fitness.

This event offers a unique blend of emotional processing, free-flow dance, and somatic exercises, designed to guide us out of our heads and back into our bodies. Through nervous system regulation, emotional release, and authentic expression, we move beyond merely surviving—into thriving.

Emotion = energy in motion. Yet, as a society, we have grown accustomed to suppressing our emotions. Because of this, our emotions remain stuck and stagnant within the body, waiting to be liberated through movement, awareness and presence.

Shake it off gives us an opportunity to safely release stress and stored emotions through movement and emotional expression tools. It allows us to reconnect with ourselves through our body. All while building our emotional and physical fitness.

Event Inclusions:

  • Emotional expression techniques: We start the event by going through some of our favourite tools and techniques for experiencing and releasing our emotions.

  • Dance and movement: Moving has never been so fun, a curated musical journey invites us to dance, and tune into the way that our body desires to move. No dance experience required for this free-flow session.

  • Somatic exercises: Ending the event with deep relaxation, be guided through some gentle, rhythmic exercises that are scientifically designed to regulate your nervous system.

Dance, release, and express at this somatic event, created to leave you feeling lighter and freer.

About your host:

Shahna Sarpi, Somatics & embodiment mentor. - @shahnasarpi

Shahna works with the body and nervous system to people out of survival mode, into a state of thriving on every level. Taking people from stressed, suppressed and exhausted… to healthy, free and radiant.

Having seen the immense power in somatic tools, emotional health and authentic expression from personal experience, Shahna now guides people home to their most empowered selves, through the body.

O'gasmic Cacao Ecstatic Dance. A Tantalizing Journey of Liberation & Bliss.
May
2

O'gasmic Cacao Ecstatic Dance. A Tantalizing Journey of Liberation & Bliss.

You're invited to indulge your senses upon this tantalizing dance journey of bliss.

Aligned with Neo-Tantric practices like somatic shaking and ecstatic dance, O’gasmic Cacao Dance includes the energy of eros, the releasing of the mind and celebration of our pure being.

While s.xual energy is welcome in this space it is welcome to run vertically - meaning you are experiencing your pleasure individually for YOU - you are not horizontally putting your energy ONTO others. That way we can safely enjoy our own experience.

What exactly does this look like?

You are invited to allow the music to move your body in ways that evoke pleasure and connection to self. This can look like exploring varying movement paces. i.e. moving sensually and slowly then passionately and erratically. This can look like incorporating sounding into your dance as different emotions and feelings meet you. This can look like removing items of clothing - all humans are welcome in this dance to experiment with the removal and addition of clothing (lower underwear remains on).

While your facilitator, Chloe Adriana does run events where shared s.xual energy is welcome, O’gasmic Cacao Dance is not that event. If your own s.exual energy ignites within this dance journey, be present with it, move with it, explore it. This event is an inner-experience... no-one will know what your dance entails unless you choose to share about it later.

O'gasmic Cacao Dance is for all genders, it is LGBTQI+ - BIPOC friendly.

What to expect:

O'gasmic Cacao Dance begins as a circle of humans who share a warm, nurturing cup of cacao together while naming what's alive for them (commonly valid trepidation, uncertainty, curiosity, excitement) before setting personal intentions. A live guest ecstatic dance DJ then guides a free-movement dance set inviting consistent, embodied, exploratory connection with self before optionally sharing personal inner experiences back in community circle to close.

Testimonials:

"That was liberating beyond words. The container you created for me to unleash, let go and just be with myself was amazing. The energy in the room, the music, the guidance, the permission... incredible."

"Thank-you for holding/hosting this space to enable everyone to fully express themself, particularly witnessing and experiencing a space where women can be topless among men and feel respected and not sexualised. To also witness different body types in a non-sexual context."

O'gasmic Cacao Dance is a MOVEMENT!

There are no photos taken or permitted to be taken at this event.

Conscious Perimenopause: Reclaiming This Sacred Rite of Passage.
May
3

Conscious Perimenopause: Reclaiming This Sacred Rite of Passage.

A full-day workshop honoring perimenopause as a sacred rite of passage. Gain clarity, compassion, and wisdom for this powerful transition.

What if perimenopause isn’t the beginning of the end...

but the beginning of who you’re becoming?

You’ve been taught to fear this transition.

To pathologise your emotions.

To compare yourself to who you once were.

To wonder: where did she go?

You are not broken 🖤

You are unbecoming everything you no longer need to be.

What to expect:

This full-day workshop is designed to support you in meeting perimenopause as an initiation, not as a withdrawal from life, but as an opportunity to embody what is true to you.

Is this for you?

This workshop is for women navigating perimenopause, tender thresholds & inner shifts.

If you’re ready to meet perimenopause not with fear, but with reverence…

If you know something inside is shifting, but you’re unsure how to name it…

This is for you.

What to expect:

✨ Meet those tender parts of self

✨ Embrace the wound of comparison

✨ Explore your truth, your grief, your yes

✨ Learn to trust the wisdom of the in-between

✨ Be held in sacred circle - no fixing, just witnessing

✨ Return home to your sovereignty

What you’ll receive:

✨ A full-day experiential workshop facilitated by Cara Richardson

✨ Personal space for reflection, rest, and integration

✨ Access to recorded cyclical embodiment practices and worksheets for ongoing support

✨ A safe, sacred, and supportive environment for transformation

What we’ll explore:

🌾 The Kiss of the Quickening

A sacred threshold between summer and autumn - that magic hour when life still moves, but something deeper begins to stir.

👑 Embracing Your Inner Maga

She is the Queen, the Truth-Teller, the Sovereign. Even if the world doesn’t see her yet, she is f#cking magical. You’ll learn to meet her with power, not fear.

💔 Grief, Rage & the Sacred Emotions

This path begins with feelings we’ve been taught to hide. You’ll learn to meet them not as problems, but as signs of awakening.

🌑 Encountering the Void

The unknown is where your next becoming begins. Learn how to soften, stay present, and find your ground in the groundless.

💔 Healing the Wound of Comparison

Explore the wound of Aphrodite - the pain of not being enough in a world that worships the Maiden. Rewrite your worth in the language of truth.

🥁 Guided Drum Journey & Sacred Circle

Drop into womb wisdom. Be witnessed in community. Be held without fixing. Just reverent, sacred witnessing.

Two scholarship tickets are available upon request for anyone who feels this event would benefit them but is currently experiencing financial difficulty and unable to comfortably pay the full ticket price. Please reach out via hello@centreofyou.com.au

About your facilitator - Cara Richardson @ohanala.wisdom I Website

This workshop is facilitated by Cara Richardson, a Certified Menstruality Educator, Archetypal Embodiment Facilitator, and Energetic Midwife.

Cara’s work draws from her training with Red School (UK) and the School of Shamanic Womancraft, weaving cyclical wisdom, somatic self-enquiry, and sacred space-holding to support others in reclaiming the power of their inner rhythm.

She facilitates transformational rites of passage and women’s embodiment workshops grounded in menstruality, rewilding, and soulful seasonal transitions.

A few notes directly from Cara:

Morning and afternoon tea will be provided (gluten free, dairy free, nut free).

Please bring your own lunch - there will be a 1-hour break to eat, rest, and reflect.

Personal responsibility: Please make an assessment on whether you are feeling stable and resourced enough to explore the practices on offer in this event. Whilst this event is held within a safe, sacred container, participants are encouraged to assess whether they feel emotionally ready to explore practices that may bring up strong or tender feelings. While grounding tools and emotional safety will be supported throughout, this is not a therapeutic processing space, and each person is responsible for their own wellbeing and support needs.

Arrival: Endeavour to arrive between 9:15am - 9:30am. To preserve the experience for all involved, doors will close at 9:45pm. Truly, it breaks our heart to have to turn latecomers away yet the disruption to the whole group experience by virtue of lateness does require management. We ask that you find understanding and consideration for the timebound nature of the container and make every effort to arrive on time.

Driving: Centre of You is located upon Chapel Street and while you may get lucky with an untimed spot, (try High Street) predominantly 1 and 2 hour parking is available (unmetered from 5pm).

Human Forest - A Regenerative Touch Experience.
May
3

Human Forest - A Regenerative Touch Experience.

An experiential exploration of discovering the consensual touch we'd truly love to give and receive.

The Human Forest is a consensual, devotional touch experience that invites you to embody your boundaries, stay present, root into your heart, and embrace the essence of oneness through touch. This is a space where time slows, hearts soften, boundaries are honoured, and through the art of deep embodied listening within community, something ancient awakens.

Together, we’ll explore the alchemy of touch as a pathway to presence, where every gesture becomes an offering and every body is honoured. This is a container of sacred play and restorative contact, free from ongoing expectation. A space to explore boundary work, lean into the art of receiving, and be witnessed.

Who this is for:

The Human Forest is for everyone, regardless of age, gender, or background. Whether you're an individual seeking deeper connection, a couple exploring the art of non-sexual touch, or a community member curious about the healing power of shared experiences, this space welcomes all who are open to honouring their boundaries and cultivating a sense of oneness.

Whether you're young or young at heart, and whether you identify as male, female, non-binary, or anywhere along the gender spectrum, you’ll find a nurturing environment where your presence is honoured and your heart is safe to open.

Join us for this sacred journey of connection and self-discovery, where every person is celebrated and valued for their unique contribution to the collective experience.

What to expect:

We begin with a grounding circle, connection exercises, and an explanation of the Human Forest framework to create shared language and agreements.

In the Human Forest, we become the ecology, connected through consensual, symbiotic, loving touch. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be gently guided into a world where consent is sacred and boundaries are celebrated.

Half of the room will begin as trees, blindfolded, whose role is to receive loving, devotional touch from the other half of the room – the critters. Everyone will have the opportunity to experience both roles, twice. Communication within the Forest container will be non-verbal.

These events can be powerful, healing experiences. When the heart opens – through touch, connection, beauty, or presence – the emotional landscape can become vast and deeply personal. Participants may experience love, joy, tenderness, grief, trust, sadness, playfulness, and empowerment.

Our priority is supporting everyone to leave feeling open, cared for, and deeply held in their belonging.

Are you open to trusting yourself?

To being part of a community awakening to the heart-opening, honest, restorative power of non-expectational touch?

Let yourself be held.
Let yourself give.
Let yourself soften into something beautifully human.

What others have said:

“Can we please do this every day!?”

“I just feel like honey melting down a warm stove.”

“I can actually feel my body, myself, and other people. I feel so connected.”

“I’ve never felt so supported in my life.”

“It’s MIND BLOWING to share this much intimacy with so much reverence.”

What to bring:

  • Comfortable, soft clothing for lounging and movement

  • A snack or drink to share afterward in our community time, this is our aftercare

  • An open heart and a curious mind

  • Water

  • A friend or two who might just need this more than they know

++++++++++

IMPORTANT:

  • In this event, we focus on devotional, loving, and non-sexually oriented touch. Sensual, not sexual. Please note: there is no genital touch at this event, and underwear remains on at all times.

  • There is no kissing or fluid exchange at any time.

  • Participants who know each other - especially those in romantic relationships - are asked to follow the same agreements, rules, and etiquette of the space as everyone else while the event is running (e.g. no kissing your lover in the Forest). This helps avoid confusion about what is and isn’t appropriate and supports the integrity of the container.

  • All of our events have been remarkably healing and heart-opening for many participants, as seen in the testimonials above. That said, this is a touch-focused experience. If you have a history of trauma related to giving or receiving touch, we encourage you to reach out to us directly to thoughtfully consider whether this offering is right for you.

  • Participants are required to arrive on time to ensure they receive the full explanation of how to communicate boundaries with clarity and respect during the consent and boundaries section at the beginning of the event.

About your facilitators:

Matthew - @matthews.labs

Matthew has an interest in self and relational exploration. Curious about how play can be harnessed to find more integrity he has used the experiences of overcoming his struggles as fuel to be in service to others. In the mid 2010s he became a certified massage therapist and yoga teacher. Over the past few years he has deepened and embodied a more expressive relationship with himself and others through exploring workshops and trainings such as Ecstatic Dance, Authentic Relating, ISTA, Breathwork, Process work and the Human Forest, a consensual touch group experience.

Matthew values creating and holding spaces that are kind, clear, expressive, and exploratory. He brings his own unique flavour of play and exploration to his facilitation. He loves holding spaces where people feel safe enough to show up as the beautifully messy humans that we all are. He believes strongly in meeting everyone at their level and that finding coherence as a group involves everyone’s input.

Shlomit

As a truth seeker, dancer, rebel and purveyor of pleasure, Shlomit developed a deep connection to her rich internal world from an early age. For the past 8 years, somatic practices inducing flow states and travel to 49 countries has been Shlomit's strongest medicine and companion in cultivating internal safety, self love and trust.

Open hearted, open minded, Shlomit brings an embodied sensual playfulness that gives others permission to soften and let their full expression be welcomed and seen. Shlomit is passionate about curating spaces where people can access their inner world, safely explore their edges and honour their boundaries as a means of deepening self trust and internal safety, expanding their capacity to receive the fullness of love that is their natural state of being.

Shlomit offers 1:1 devotional body work to restore, worship and provide loving touch and presence to your body and soul.

9D Breathwork - Letting Go.
May
5

9D Breathwork - Letting Go.

Join this multi-sensory soundscape experience that promotes emotional release, self-discovery & helps you reconnect with your true self.

9D Breathwork is an innovative and transformative practice that combines advanced breathwork techniques with a multi-sensory sound experience. Utilizing conscious connected breathing, participants enter a heightened state of awareness, allowing them to connect deeply with their inner selves and facilitate profound healing and transformation. This experience is enhanced by the integration of binaural beats, isochronic tones, solfeggio frequencies, and bioacoustic sound effects, all designed to support your journey into deeper states of consciousness.

Through this immersive approach, participants are invited to explore their subconscious mind, awaken their inner healer, and release emotional blockages. The specially curated soundscapes create an environment that promotes relaxation, emotional release, and personal insight, enabling profound shifts in perspective and energy.

This 9D Breathwork Journey theme:

Letting Go

Embark on the Letting Go 9D Somatic Breathwork Journey—an experience meticulously designed to liberate you from the confines of a self-imposed prison of stagnation and stuckness. Untangle the past and shed the burdens that have stalled your progress, paving the way for a future filled with promise and new beginnings. Essential themes of release, renewal, and progression weave through the journey, propelling a transformative shift in the narrative of your life. Navigate this path to recondition neural pathways, cultivating a perspective that views letting go not as a loss but as the key to unlocking personal evolution. This voyage is not just an exercise in breathwork but a guiding light toward your most unencumbered self. Engage with this practice and set forth on a life marked by freedom and forward momentum.

What to Expect:

During each 9D Breathwork session, participants can anticipate a dynamic and enriching experience that combines active breathing, guided visualization, and immersive soundscapes. Participants are encouraged to engage with their feelings, express themselves authentically, and embrace the transformative power of the breath. Expect to uncover deeper insights, heal emotional wounds, and tap into your inherent wisdom.

Experiences during the inward journey may include:

✨ Accessing memories from the past and reframing them with compassion

✨ Connecting with the inner child and rediscovering joy and creativity

✨ Engaging in a dialogue with any internal fears, leading to personal empowerment

✨ Experiencing a sense of lightness and freedom while letting go of limiting beliefs

✨ Receiving intuitive insights or messages from a higher self or spirit guides

✨ Experiencing physical sensations of release as energy and emotions flow through the body

Important Information:

9D Breathwork is a powerful practice that may evoke intense emotions and physical sensations. Participants are encouraged to embrace the experience fully, trusting in their ability to navigate whatever arises. Each participant is always in control of their journey, and can adjust their breathing pattern to manage the intensity of the experience.

Contraindications:

While 9D Breathwork can be transformative, it may not be suitable for everyone. If you have a history of seizure disorders, cardiovascular issues, or severe mental health challenges, please consult with a healthcare professional before participating. This workshop is not recommended for individuals under the age of 16 or pregnant women without prior discussion.

Trigger Warning:

The nature of this practice encourages authentic expression, which may manifest as vocalizations, movement, or emotional release. Participants are invited to honor their own process while respecting the journeys of others. If participants are feeling overwhelmed or triggered, they can signal for support. For those seeking a gentler approach, private sessions are available.

About your facilitator - Lee @ajourneytosacred

Lee is a passionate and dedicated Breathwork Facilitator, bringing a wealth of knowledge and experience to the transformative practice of 9D Breathwork. As a Certified 9D Facilitator, Certified Wim Hof Instructor, and an International Breathwork Foundation Member, Lee combines various modalities to create a safe and nurturing space for participants to explore their inner landscapes. His qualifications as a Reiki Master, NLP Life Coach, Trauma-Informed Coach, Sound Healer, and Human Forest & Men’s Circle Facilitator further enrich his approach, allowing him to connect deeply with individuals on their unique healing journeys.

Things to note:

Centre of You has plenty of bolsters, blankets, and cushions for you to get cosy with. We recommend wearing comfortable, loose clothes to enable deep breathing and sitting/laying upon the floor with ease. Something to cover your eyes, if you wish to do so (eg. eye mask, scarf). A journal is recommended as are any familiar personal items that will aid you in feeling grounded (crystal, teddy, scarf, etc).

Personal responsibility: Please make an assessment on whether you are feeling stable and resourced enough to explore the practices on offer in this event.

No Photo/Video Content Will Be Captured: We recognise that being at an event where content is being captured can impact the personal comfort and nervous system regulation of our community. As such, it should be known upfront that this event is a photo and video free space. No content will be captured. We ask all participants to honor this agreement in respect of the shared experience by placing any recording devices away on arrival.

Arrival: Endeavour to arrive between 6:45pm - 7:00pm. To preserve the experience for all involved, doors will close at 7:15pm. Truly, it breaks our heart to have to turn latecomers away yet the disruption to the whole group experience by virtue of lateness does require management. We ask that you find understanding and consideration for the timebound nature of the container and make every effort to arrive on time.

Driving: Know Centre of You is on Chapel St and ample time to find a car spot is best to be factored into your plans. Park direct on Chapel St (spots unmetered after 5pm) or in Anchor Place, the open-air parking lot in the side street that runs opposite Centre of You (unmetered after 4pm).

Public transport - tram: Both the number 6 tram & 78 tram stop on the corner of High St/Chapel St. This is stop 31 on the number 6 tram (Moreland/Glen Iris) & stop 45 on the number 78 tram (North Richmond/Balaclava).

++ Men - pledge your commitment quickly. There are literally women waiting to meet you! ++

Please note there are no refunds for this event. When you book in we ask that you follow through with attending.

------------------------------------------------------------------

TESTIMONIALS

“I’ve never felt so open and safe and held before. The room and the energy was so divine... there was an equalness between us all. It was phenomenal. I came away from this experience with so much more than I thought.”

“I had such a beautiful time. It was so healing and so hope-evoking just to experience that kind of connection and interact with conscious men. It was reaffirming that my standards for intimate connection are not too high after all and that gentle, present, receptive masculinity is out there (I'd only seen it on Instagram 😂).”

“Omg!! What an epic evening. Thank you so much!!”

“So much fun!! I feel invigorated!”

“Super edgy for me, but the facilitators made it really comfortable to be there. I enjoyed the structured games to get to know people on a deeper level.”

------------------------------------------------------------------

PLEASE NOTE: we understand the sensitivity and vulnerability of attending an event like this. We endeavour to make everyone feel as comfortable as possible and to create an atmosphere where you feel safe and encouraged to express yourself as who you really are.

While the intention of this event is to create opportunities for romantic connection, all connection starts as two humans meeting each other for the first time and finding common ground. We suggest you see this event as an opportunity to connect to the common ground of all people participating rather than only the ones you feel an “attraction” to. This creates more safety for all those involved and also enables YOU to have a really enjoyable experience with all your pairings!

Please contact us if you are unsure about anything about this event or would like more details. We would be really happy to talk to you.

Human Forest -  Female Identifying.  Reclaiming Touch: The Mother Line.
May
10

Human Forest - Female Identifying. Reclaiming Touch: The Mother Line.

An exploration of the consensual touch we truly long to give and receive. A Human Forest for women & female-identifying beings.

Reclaiming Touch: The Mother Line

*A Human Forest for Women & Female-Identifying Beings*

This Mother’s Day Eve

Let us celebrate our mothers.
Let us celebrate the beauty of being a woman –
with this soft and sacred invitation to return to your body, to your rhythm, to yourself.

A journey back to trust.
A quiet homecoming to your inner knowing.
A remembering that your body is yours - and always has been.

We gather in honour of the women who came before us - our mothers, grandmothers, and all the women whose stories live in our bones.
For so many generations, women did not have the privilege of true choice when it came to their bodies.
Autonomy and sovereignty were not always available to them.
And yet, we are here.
And we are the ones who can gently reclaim what was lost,
and teach the generations to come what it truly means to honour the sacredness of being a woman.

To reclaim our bodies.
To reclaim touch.

As women, we give so much.
Our bodies carry life.
Our hearts hold families.
Our touch nurtures everyone around us.
And so often, we do all this without receiving the nourishment we deeply need.

It is time to receive.
To fill your own cup.
To be held in gentleness, care, and reverence.

For many of our foremothers, touch was something expected - not chosen.
Consent was rarely spoken. Boundaries were often invisible.
Their bodies were not always treated as sovereign spaces.
But now, we have the opportunity to rewrite the story - with tenderness, intention, and truth.

A Sanctuary of Sovereignty & Safety

Reclaiming Touch is a loving offering -
a quiet, grounded space to explore the experience of touch in a way that centres your autonomy, honours your boundaries, and trusts your timing.

Here, your body leads.
You are never expected to do anything other than what feels right for you.
Every interaction is guided by non-verbal consent, so your yes, no, or maybe is always enough.

Held in gentle practices, the healing power of the feminine, and the strength of compassionate sisterhood, you’ll be invited to:
✨ Reconnect with the language of your body - listening to its wisdom and signals
✨ Explore touch on your own terms - through witnessing, receiving, offering, or simply resting in presence
✨ Soothe your nervous system - with breath, grounding, and the quiet co-regulation of others
✨ Reclaim your right to be held, seen, and honoured - without pressure or expectation

This is not about pushing past discomfort.
It’s about restoring your right to choose.
It’s about remembering that safety lives in slowness, presence, and choice.

Honouring the Mother Line

On this Mother’s Day Eve, we honour the women before us not only through remembrance,
but by choosing a different way forward.

We choose to listen.
To rest.
To honour our bodies as sacred.
To reclaim the right to say yes - or no -
with clarity, confidence, and care.

Come as you are, exactly as you are.
Whether you long for connection or wish to rest quietly in shared space, you are welcome here.
Let yourself be held in a field of loving respect,
where your body is your own
and your boundaries are a blessing.

-----

WHAT IS A HUMAN FOREST?

For those of you that don't know, a Human Forest Experience is a human ecosystem connected by consensual touch.

Half of the room will be trees who will be blindfolded and receive loving, devotional touch from the other half of the room (the critters). You will have the opportunity to experience being both a tree and a critter.

These events can be powerful, healing opportunities for participants to experience intimacy and joy. Our priority to supporting participants to leave our events feeling opened, cared for and loved.

Come be part of a movement awakening people to the joy filled, healing and restorative power of touch.

------

IMPORTANT:

  • In this event we focus on devotional, loving and non-sexually oriented touch. Note: there is no genitalia touch at this event.

  • All our events have been remarkably healing and opening for many participants.

  • That being said, this is a touch focused event. If you have any history of trauma related to receiving or giving touch, please be in touch with us directly to seriously consider whether this event is right for you.

  • Participants are required to be on time to ensure they understand how to communicate their boundaries with clarity and respect via the consent and boundaries section at the commencement of the event.

Personal responsibility: Please make an assessment on whether you are feeling stable and resourced enough to explore the practices on offer in this event.

No Photo/Video Content Will Be Captured:

We recognise that being at an event where content is being captured can impact the personal comfort and nervous system regulation of our community. As such, it should be known upfront that this event is a photo and video free space. No content will be captured. We ask all participants to honor this agreement in respect of the shared experience by placing any recording devices away on arrival.

Arrival: Endeavour to arrive between 12:00pm - 12:15pm. To preserve the experience for all involved, doors will close at 12:30pm.

9D Breathwork - Releasing Guilt & Shame.
May
12

9D Breathwork - Releasing Guilt & Shame.

Join this multi-sensory soundscape experience that promotes emotional release, self-discovery & helps you reconnect with your true self.

9D Breathwork is an innovative and transformative practice that combines advanced breathwork techniques with a multi-sensory sound experience. Utilizing conscious connected breathing, participants enter a heightened state of awareness, allowing them to connect deeply with their inner selves and facilitate profound healing and transformation. This experience is enhanced by the integration of binaural beats, isochronic tones, solfeggio frequencies, and bioacoustic sound effects, all designed to support your journey into deeper states of consciousness.

Through this immersive approach, participants are invited to explore their subconscious mind, awaken their inner healer, and release emotional blockages. The specially curated soundscapes create an environment that promotes relaxation, emotional release, and personal insight, enabling profound shifts in perspective and energy.

This 9D Breathwork Journey theme:

Releasing Guilt & Shame.

The Guilt & Shame 9D journey is for individuals who are ready to release the weight of deeply ingrained guilt and shame. If you find yourself struggling with these powerful emotions—whether rooted in past experiences, relationships, or your self-perception—this journey offers a path to healing and liberation. Through immersive breathwork, you'll be guided to delve deep into these feelings, uncover their origins, and begin the process of transformation. This journey is designed to help you cultivate self-acceptance, nurture self-compassion, and ultimately find a sense of inner peace.

What to Expect:

During each 9D Breathwork session, participants can anticipate a dynamic and enriching experience that combines active breathing, guided visualization, and immersive soundscapes. Participants are encouraged to engage with their feelings, express themselves authentically, and embrace the transformative power of the breath. Expect to uncover deeper insights, heal emotional wounds, and tap into your inherent wisdom.

Experiences during the inward journey may include:

✨ Accessing memories from the past and reframing them with compassion

✨ Connecting with the inner child and rediscovering joy and creativity

✨ Engaging in a dialogue with any internal fears, leading to personal empowerment

✨ Experiencing a sense of lightness and freedom while letting go of limiting beliefs

✨ Receiving intuitive insights or messages from a higher self or spirit guides

✨ Experiencing physical sensations of release as energy and emotions flow through the body

Important Information:

9D Breathwork is a powerful practice that may evoke intense emotions and physical sensations. Participants are encouraged to embrace the experience fully, trusting in their ability to navigate whatever arises. Each participant is always in control of their journey, and can adjust their breathing pattern to manage the intensity of the experience.

Contraindications:

While 9D Breathwork can be transformative, it may not be suitable for everyone. If you have a history of seizure disorders, cardiovascular issues, or severe mental health challenges, please consult with a healthcare professional before participating. This workshop is not recommended for individuals under the age of 16 or pregnant women without prior discussion.

Trigger Warning:

The nature of this practice encourages authentic expression, which may manifest as vocalizations, movement, or emotional release. Participants are invited to honor their own process while respecting the journeys of others. If participants are feeling overwhelmed or triggered, they can signal for support. For those seeking a gentler approach, private sessions are available.

Women's Full Moon Ceremony & Sound Bath - Tune Into Your Inner Wisdom.
May
14

Women's Full Moon Ceremony & Sound Bath - Tune Into Your Inner Wisdom.

A sacred women's gathering to reflect, release and realign under May’s Full Moon with sound healing, ritual and soulful connection.

Full Moon in Scorpio: Let Go & Trust Your Inner Wisdom

🌕 A sacred evening for women ready to slow down, reflect, and reconnect under the potent light of May’s Full Moon.

The Full Moon in Scorpio brings deep emotional currents to the surface. It's a powerful time to tune in, release what no longer serves, and embrace the transformation unfolding from within. This moon asks us to trust - not in having all the answers, but in our willingness to feel, listen, and allow.

What the Scorpio Full Moon invites us into:
Scorpio energy encourages us to explore the shadows, honour emotional truth, and shed old patterns and stories. Opposing the grounding Taurus Sun, this lunation highlights the dance between what we cling to and what we’re ready to let go of – especially when it comes to what we carry that may not be ours.

This is a time to:

  • Let go of stuck emotions, outdated beliefs, and inherited burdens

  • Reconnect with your own truth and intuition

  • Open space for new beginnings and deeper alignment

What to Expect:
You’re invited to an intimate, heart-led gathering where women can soften into stillness, breathe deeply, and come home to themselves. Through a gentle yet powerful journey of sound healing, journaling, and ritual, we will honour the emotional intensity of the Full Moon while creating spaciousness for clarity and calm.

Together we will:

  • Set intentions and reflect through guided journaling

  • Experience a soul-nourishing sound healing to support emotional release

  • Engage in a simple yet meaningful ritual to honour what’s being let go

  • Sit in sacred circle, supported by community, as we reset and realign

This evening is for you if you're:

  • Feeling emotionally heavy or ready to let something go

  • Moving through a transition or seeking clarity

  • Craving connection with your intuition and inner wisdom

  • Longing to feel held in a nurturing, heart-centred space

What's included:

  • Heart-opening cacao ceremony

  • Powerful sound bath (gongs, crystal bowls, drums, voice + more)

  • Guided journaling & meditation

  • Releasing ritual

  • Aboriginal Oracle & moon manifestation cards

  • Optional sharing circle

  • Space to connect with kind-hearted and curious women

  • Nourishing nibbles + tea

Leave feeling lighter, more grounded, and gently transformed.

The Power of Om - An Inner & Outer Journey of Sound.
May
15

The Power of Om - An Inner & Outer Journey of Sound.

A deeply immersive & transformative sound experience journey into the Power of Om.

This workshop aims to provide a powerful, felt experience of connecting to the original sound—the sound from which all sounds arise and to which all sounds return. To leave not just feeling amazing but with a valuable, life-changing tool.

The session begins with gentle movement to open and release physical tension, preparing the body to receive deeper levels of relaxation. As participants connect to their breath, they will naturally align their mind and body, allowing for greater presence and inner stillness.

Part 1: A brief discourse on the importance of Om, exploring its spiritual significance and some of the benefits of working with this powerful mantra.

Part 2: The group will come together for Om chanting, supported by the beautiful sound of the shruti box. Through the collective vibration of Om, participants will feel the resonance flow through them, grounding them in a state of balance and connection. There will be 108 recitations.

Part 3: The session concludes with a full sound journey that incorporates various healing instruments, guiding participants into deep relaxation, enhanced by the soundscape’s soothing frequencies. Participants may leave feeling centered, refreshed, and attuned to their inner harmony.

Chanting "Om" offers a wide range of benefits, both physiological and psychological, rooted in its vibrational and spiritual qualities:

💓 Calms the Nervous System: The vibration created by chanting Om stimulates the vagus nerve, helping activate the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation and reducing stress and anxiety.

💓 Balances Emotions: The rhythmic chanting of Om can help balance emotional fluctuations, fostering a sense of inner peace and emotional clarity.

💓 Improves Focus and Mental Clarity: Chanting Om allows the mind to shift away from distractions, enhancing concentration and mindfulness. The repetitive nature of the sound helps clear mental clutter.

💓 Enhances Respiratory Function: The extended exhalation during chanting can improve breath control, expand lung capacity, and regulate breathing patterns, contributing to overall respiratory health.

💓 Boosts Positive Energy: Om is believed to generate positive vibrations that resonate with the body's energy centers (chakras), particularly the third eye and crown chakras. This fosters a deeper connection to spiritual awareness and higher consciousness.

💓 Promotes a Sense of Unity: Chanting Om in a group setting creates a powerful collective energy, encouraging feelings of connection and unity, both with others and with the universe.

Jayden McGrath Presents: Sound Dome - A Breathwork & Sound Journey.
May
16

Jayden McGrath Presents: Sound Dome - A Breathwork & Sound Journey.

Surrender to the Healing Power Within in this Breathwork & Sound Journey

Step into a transformative space where breath and sound unite to guide you into profound rest, release, and inner stillness. In this immersive journey, you will be gently led into a meditative state, allowing the mind to quieten and the body to deeply recharge. Through the power of breathwork and sound, we create a container for healing, where you can reconnect with your true self and release any stagnant energy within.

The session begins with a deep dive into breathwork, a practice that encourages you to surrender to your inner landscape. As you breathe, you’ll uncover layers of emotional and physical tension, giving yourself permission to let go and make space for a renewed version of yourself. This process allows you to enter a restful parasympathetic state, where deep healing and transformation can occur.

Surrounded by the soothing vibrations of sound, you’ll be enveloped in a sensory experience that nurtures the body and mind, bringing you to a place of calm, clarity, and connection. Through this journey, you’ll awaken to the healing power that resides within, emerging grounded, peaceful, and attuned to the wisdom of your body.

What to Expect:

~ Breathwork to release tension and emotional blockages
~ Soundscapes that guide you into deep relaxation and presence
~ A nurturing, safe space to surrender and heal
~ Deep rest for the body, mind, and spirit

This is an invitation to reconnect with your inner self and experience the profound power of surrender. Let the journey unfold as you release, restore, and return to a place of balance and peace.

About your facilitator - Jayden McGrath @jaydenmcgrath_

Growing up in the small town of Alice Springs, Jayden found his expression through music at an early age, and it quickly became his closest companion. In 2016, he discovered breathwork as a way to battle deep depression, and after completing his first facilitator training in 2017, Jayden was captivated by the ability to shift perspectives and create profound change without the need for external substances.

After years of sharing this knowledge part-time and completing additional training, Jayden eventually decided to leave his trade as an electrician and dedicate himself fully to this work. When his background in music performance and production intersected with the inner world of breathwork, everything changed. Jayden is here to guide you on a journey through your inner landscape like no other, empowering you to take control of your life and equipping you with the tools for success and abundance.

Energy In Motion - An Ecstatic Dance & Cacao Journey Through the Chakras.

Energy In Motion: An Ecstatic Dance & Cacao Journey

Welcome to Energy In Motion, a transformational event where ecstatic dance, cacao, and emotional release come together to create an unforgettable experience. This is more than an event; it's a journey of self-discovery and expression, offering a blend of personal growth, community connection, and joyful celebration.

Emotion is energy in motion, and this experience is designed to support emotional processing with an undercurrent of bliss. It's about inner exploration and embodied expression, all within a vibrant, party-like atmosphere. Personal development can be fun, and we're here to prove it.

May Event: Crown Chakra

Remember your divinity and connection to oneness by joining us this May as we explore the Crown Chakra.

The crown chakra, also known as the sahasrara, is all about spiritual connection. Associated with the element of thought, it’s linked to wisdom, unity, and universal consciousness.

Throughout the evening, we’ll connect with the crown chakra by connecting to the cosmos.

This event is an opportunity to dance and an invitation to transform through beauty, play, and the pleasure of being fully present in your body.

Experience Highlights

  • Ecstatic Dance: A space for free expression. Let go of inhibition and move to the rhythm. No dance experience needed, just an open heart.

  • Cacao Ceremony: Connect with this heart-opening plant medicine, traditionally known as "food of the Gods." The ceremony invites emotional clarity and deeper connection to self while fueling your desire to dance.

  • Chakra Exploration: Each event focuses on one of the seven chakras. From the root to the crown, we journey through these energetic centers, integrating their wisdom and embracing their power.

Community Guidelines

  • Be present: No phones

  • Be clear: No intoxicants

  • Be embodied: No talking during the dance

  • Be respectful: Consensual contact only

Join us at Energy In Motion for a transformative experience where you can dance, connect, and evolve with a community of kindred spirits.

Together, let’s celebrate the full spectrum of the human experience and transform through the power of movement, music, and shared energy.

Join Us for a 7-Month Experience (Optional)

This event is part of a chakra journey series running over seven months. Each gathering is dedicated to one of the body's energy centers, inviting a deeper exploration of its qualities.

Whether you're coming to one event or joining the full journey, each experience is designed to activate and embody the energy of a specific chakra. And if you're just keen to dance, sip cacao, and be with community, you're just as welcome.

We’ll be joined by some of Melbourne’s finest ecstatic dance DJs and guest facilitators. While each event stands alone, there’s also a special all-access pass if you feel called to join the full series.

An experienced leader and coach, he recently doubled down on music as an even purer vehicle to deliver transformation, and spent a few weeks in Guatemala dancing with and learning from some of the world's best organic music producers such as Mose, Scott Nice, ATYYA and Melbourne's own Temple Step Project. He also was humbled to learn about Cacao plant magic whilst in Guatemala and is honoured to be holding a space for Cacao and Ecstatic Dance to be shared with our community.

Host: Shahna Sarpi - @shahnasarpi

It was love at first dance, when Shahna stepped onto an ecstatic dance dance-floor. She saw the immense power in embodied movement and authentic expression, coming home to hear body and her self and feeling the liberation that comes from allowing the energy to move through her. Since that time, she has interwoven these lessons and practices into what she does personally, but also professionally.

Now, as a Somatic Healing Expert, Shahna uses embodiment practices, somatic exercises and other healing tools and modalities to help people step into their era of freedom, fullest self expression and radiance.

Voices of the Drum: Evoking Elemental & Ancestral Sounds Through Chanting.
May
18

Voices of the Drum: Evoking Elemental & Ancestral Sounds Through Chanting.

A playful & immersive journey into the self as a vessel for ancient, ancestral sound, awakening through the resonance of the medicine drum.

This is not an activity for the ego, it is one for the soul. It's a practice of reclaiming access to your voice, your sound, your expression your way, at your pace, at your volume. We gather as our bloodlines have throughout our ancestry known and unknown in community circle.

About this experience:

Step into a sacred playspace where the resonance of the medicine drum meets the authentic voice within. This is an invitation to honour the drum in its simplicity, in its elemental make-up, and in its deep ancestral lineage. As we connect with the heartbeat of the drum, we open ourselves to the wisdom it carries, allowing sound to move through us in spontaneous, uninhibited expression.

This is a journey of exploration, not expectation - a space where sound emerges naturally. There will be absolutely no pressure placed within the space for singing or sounding alone.

Whether you are new to vocal expression and drum chanting or are already familiar with the power of your voice, this gathering offers a supportive container to connect with the unseen threads of ancestral sound that we are the carriers of.

This is a co-created gathering of spirituality, grounding and introspection accessed through the meditative, ritualistic, rhythmic trance state of chanting and shamanic/medicine drumming.

What to expect:

  • Feeling the resonance of the medicine drum within your body and energy field

  • Honouring the drum’s elemental makeup and ancestral ties

  • Playing with spontaneous, intuitive, free vocal expression

  • Experimenting with basic drum rhythms and learning drum chants

  • Experiencing yourself as a channel for sound

There is absolutely no need to know how to drum or chant. Join with an open heart and a playful spirit. You may be surprised by the sounds that live within you and how it feels to allow them the freedom of expression.

Bring your frame drum / medicine drum / shamanic drum if you have one. If not, come as you are - we have a variety of drums you can use at Centre of You.

About your facilitator - Grace Elizabeth - @centreofyou_chapelst

You will be guided through this experience by founder and director of Centre of You, Grace Elizabeth. Sharing song was instrumental to Grace's identity in her high school days as captain of her school choir, Stacella, an acappela choir centred around tribal, world and devotional music. During Shamanic Breathwork training in 2019, Grace found immediate resonance with the practice of shamanic/medicine drumming and chanting. Drum chants led into mantra chanting where she fell in deep alignment with kirtan (devotional call and response singing). Grace is continuing her journey towards reclaiming and regaining trust, acceptance and love for her voice through the devotional routes of kirtan and drum chanting after repressing it for two decades. Upon Grace's personal vocal reclamation journey, she has come to the realisation that the desire to befriend one's voice, spoken or sung, is a collectively shared one by many. Grace adores catching divine-gifted chants when streamed through her own consciousness, of which she feels are an honour to share.

9D Breathwork - Healing Ancestral Lines.
May
19

9D Breathwork - Healing Ancestral Lines.

Join this multi-sensory soundscape experience that promotes emotional release, self-discovery & helps you reconnect with your true self.

9D Breathwork is an innovative and transformative practice that combines advanced breathwork techniques with a multi-sensory sound experience. Utilizing conscious connected breathing, participants enter a heightened state of awareness, allowing them to connect deeply with their inner selves and facilitate profound healing and transformation. This experience is enhanced by the integration of binaural beats, isochronic tones, solfeggio frequencies, and bioacoustic sound effects, all designed to support your journey into deeper states of consciousness.

Through this immersive approach, participants are invited to explore their subconscious mind, awaken their inner healer, and release emotional blockages. The specially curated soundscapes create an environment that promotes relaxation, emotional release, and personal insight, enabling profound shifts in perspective and energy.

This 9D Breathwork Journey theme:

Healing Ancestral Lines

Break free from intergenerational trauma—the root cause of human suffering. This transformative journey is for those seeking to sever the chains of these struggles and halt the cycle of trauma. Unresolved intergenerational trauma manifests as chronic anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and disconnection. Experience profound healing and resilience as you release these burdens. Rewrite your narrative, restore harmony within, and create a legacy of empowerment. Liberate yourself from the cycles of suffering and pave the way for a brighter future.

What to Expect:

During each 9D Breathwork session, participants can anticipate a dynamic and enriching experience that combines active breathing, guided visualization, and immersive soundscapes. Participants are encouraged to engage with their feelings, express themselves authentically, and embrace the transformative power of the breath. Expect to uncover deeper insights, heal emotional wounds, and tap into your inherent wisdom.

Experiences during the inward journey may include:

✨ Accessing memories from the past and reframing them with compassion

✨ Connecting with the inner child and rediscovering joy and creativity

✨ Engaging in a dialogue with any internal fears, leading to personal empowerment

✨ Experiencing a sense of lightness and freedom while letting go of limiting beliefs

✨ Receiving intuitive insights or messages from a higher self or spirit guides

✨ Experiencing physical sensations of release as energy and emotions flow through the body

Important Information:

9D Breathwork is a powerful practice that may evoke intense emotions and physical sensations. Participants are encouraged to embrace the experience fully, trusting in their ability to navigate whatever arises. Each participant is always in control of their journey, and can adjust their breathing pattern to manage the intensity of the experience.

Contraindications:

While 9D Breathwork can be transformative, it may not be suitable for everyone. If you have a history of seizure disorders, cardiovascular issues, or severe mental health challenges, please consult with a healthcare professional before participating. This workshop is not recommended for individuals under the age of 16 or pregnant women without prior discussion.

Trigger Warning:

The nature of this practice encourages authentic expression, which may manifest as vocalizations, movement, or emotional release. Participants are invited to honor their own process while respecting the journeys of others. If participants are feeling overwhelmed or triggered, they can signal for support. For those seeking a gentler approach, private sessions are available.

Nervous System Rewire - An Exploration of Grounding Regulation Practices.
May

Nervous System Rewire - An Exploration of Grounding Regulation Practices.

Is life keeping you stuck in overdrive? No matter how much self-care you do, do you still end up feeling on edge or exhausted, almost like you're just wired that way?

The truth is, this is a natural response to the demands of modern life and the state of the world right now. Many of our nervous systems are working overtime in response to constant stimuli, screens, and stressors…

The good news is that it is possible to rewire this programming and gently build your capacity to feel grounded and resilient amidst the chaos.

Based on the teachings of Polyvagal Theory, this Nervous System Rewire class will teach you simple and empowering self-regulation tools to retrain your brain and rebuild a robust nervous system, so you no longer feel stuck and can confidently handle stress.

When you rewire your nervous system, you reclaim your vitality, regulate your emotions, and rebuild your ability to be present and connected with loved ones, and with yourself.

This class is open to anyone; no prior experience is necessary. The practices are useful both as a preventative measure and to ease the impact of acute or chronic stress.

What to Expect

Expect a kind and inviting space where you can show up just as you are as we gently explore a series of:

✨ Vagal toning exercises that work directly with your vagus nerve to stimulate rest, digestion, and repair.

✨ Trauma-sensitive yoga and gentle movement to enliven the felt sense and improve interoception.

✨ Gentle breathwork to quiet the mind and create space for your true self to emerge.

✨ Stress-release practices to discharge incomplete stress energy and complete the stress cycle.

✨ Journaling and reflection exercises to help integrate the teachings and shifts.

✨ Co-regulation and the inherent benefits of being in shared space with community.

About you facilitator - Sally @sallypriestley

Sally is a yoga teacher and embodiment mentor passionate about bringing spirituality and science together in sacred spaces with a focus on nervous system support and mind-body-spirit connection. 

Previously, Sally worked as a commercial lawyer, struggling with anxiety, chronic pain and a deep longing for a sense of wholeness and connection that felt elusive. 

Through her own journey Sally came to realise the importance of working with the nervous system to access the body's innate healing intelligence and rewire subconscious behaviours that keep us stuck in survival patterns which inhibit optimal health, mental clarity and whole self connection.

Today, Sally draws on over 18 years of devoted practice and specialist study in nervous system health and trauma sensitive yoga to guide others back to their bodies and gently unravel the stresses of modern life.

Sally teaches in a nurturing and invitational style with modifications to meet you exactly where you’re at in every practice.

Inner Listening - Restorative Yoga Meets Meditation.
May
22

Inner Listening - Restorative Yoga Meets Meditation.

A gentle journey through restorative yoga and meditation to slow down, sense, feel, and reconnect with the wisdom of body, mind & soul.

Sensing, Feeling, and Becoming Present in Your Body, Mind & Soul

Join us for this 2hr journey into the heart of presence, designed to reconnect you with your body’s innate wisdom.

Through mindful movement and deeply supported restorative yoga poses, you'll be guided to gently tune in to the subtle messages of your body, breath and emotions. Each pose is paired with a short meditative reflection, inviting you to slow down, feel deeply and cultivate a sense of embodied awareness that ripples into your daily life.

This practice is less about stretching and more about sensing, less about doing and more about being. As you soften into each shape, your body becomes a sacred space for healing and restoration. You'll explore themes such as releasing tension, cultivating presence, deepening the mind-body connection and listening to what your heart truly desires. This is an opportunity to regulate the nervous system, ground your energy and experience the power of slow, conscious embodiment.

As you move through the workshop, you’ll be invited into the art of sensing, feeling and becoming fully present in your body, mind and soul. This inner listening allows you to awaken somatic intelligence, your body’s way of communicating its truth. Rather than overriding discomfort or emotion, you’ll learn to meet yourself with compassion and curiosity. The wisdom you seek is already within you, waiting to be felt, heard and trusted.

Whether you’re new to yoga or an experienced practitioner, this workshop offers a nurturing environment to explore the power of embodied presence and self-connection. Inner Listening invites you to come home to yourself, not through effort, but through stillness and surrender. You’ll leave feeling grounded, clear and more attuned to your inner truth - a gentle reconnection to the guidance that lives within.

Welcome to Dance Tribe, where the energy of nightclub culture meets the clarity of a sober dance floor.

This is not ecstatic dance. This is not a typical club night. This is a space where we come together to dance, connect, and celebrate, free from alcohol and substances.

With incredible DJs, immersive lighting, and a vibrant atmosphere, Dance Tribe is about pure movement, music, and community. It’s a place where you can let loose, meet like-minded people, and experience the joy of dance in a fun, safe, and sustainable way.

💃 🕺 Why we dance

For years, dancers have found joy in movement. Whether in clubs, at festivals, or under the stars in nature. But what truly happens when people dance together?

Entrainment, a phenomenon studied in music therapy, reveals how heartbeats synchronize with the rhythm of the music and the movements of those around them. This explains why dancefloor moments feel so deeply connective. Minutes turn into hours as breath, heartbeat, and body movements align with the beat, creating a powerful sense of unity.

The science of entrainment explores how auditory rhythmic patterns influence motor responses, a key concept in neurologic music therapy. This phenomenon, known as rhythmic entrainment, allows movements to synchronize naturally with music, as seen in dancing, drumming, and other musical activities.

Who this event is for:

Dance Tribe is for anyone who loves to dance and connect. Whether a seasoned dancefloor enthusiast or someone looking for a fresh way to enjoy music and movement, this space offers an uplifting and sustainable approach to nightlife.

For those seeking more meaningful connections beyond the usual clubbing experience, Dance Tribe provides an opportunity to engage with music, community, and self-expression on a deeper level, without the addition of alcohol or substances.

Whether you're a festival lover, a longtime club-goer ready for a new kind of night out, a conscious movement enthusiast, or simply someone who thrives on the energy of a dancefloor, this space is designed to be welcoming, vibrant, and nourishing.

Dance Tribe Sundays is the perfect way to move, connect, and start the week feeling refreshed and inspired.

What to expect:

Arrival – Settle in, get comfortable, and enjoy delicious snacks while soaking in the warm-up DJ set.

Opening Circle – A short welcome to set intentions, allowing connection with the group, and tune into the space.

Dance Journey Begins – The main DJ sets take over, guiding you through deep grooves, euphoric highs, and full-bodied movement. Let loose, feel the bass, and dance like nobody's watching.

Sound Healing & Relaxation – Wind down with soothing sounds, allowing your body to integrate the energy of the dance.

Closing Circle – A space to reflect, share, and integrate the experience before transitioning back into daily life.

Official Close 6pm – For those who wish to stay, enjoy tea and conversation with your Dance Tribe. Some may head out to dinner afterward, while others may simply float home, ready to embrace the week ahead.

Dancing is a powerful way to shake off stress and boost your mood with high-vibe movement. It strengthens bonds with others through music and dance, creating a deep sense of connection. The freedom of movement brings pure joy, while the experience leaves you feeling refreshed, present, and grounded. As rhythm, breath, and movement awaken the body, a sense of vitality and upliftment emerges. Beyond the dance floor, it contributes to overall physical and mental well-being, serving as one of the best full-body workouts. The energy and inspiration from the experience can carry into the week ahead, bringing a renewed sense of enthusiasm and clarity.

Whispers on the Wind: New Moon in Gemini Cacao Ceremony & Restorative Yoga.
May
26

Whispers on the Wind: New Moon in Gemini Cacao Ceremony & Restorative Yoga.

Gather in ritual under the Gemini New Moon, with cacao, gentle breath and deep rest for an evening of clarity, connection and renewal.

A Gemini New Moon + Cacao Ceremony + Deep Rest with Donna + Frankie

We gather under the airy glow of the Gemini New Moon - a time of fresh starts, communication, and community.

Join Donna and Frankie for an evening of deep presence, gentle breath, and heartful connection under the energy of the Gemini New Moon.

This ceremony is an invitation to soften into stillness and reconnect with your inner voice - the one that knows what’s ready to be expressed, released, or dreamed into being. Gemini, the sign of air, brings movement, curiosity, and communication. Through ritual, reflection, and rest, we’ll anchor these airy whispers into the body and heart.

Together, we’ll journey through:

  • A sacred blessing of Mama Cacao to open the heart

  • Gentle breathwork to clear the mind and deepen presence

  • Journaling and reflective prompts to support intention-setting

  • A 15-minute guided meditation to settle the nervous system and awaken inner clarity

  • Restorative yoga to soothe and integrate

  • A closing circle to gently seal your intentions

This is a space for slowing down, tuning in, and remembering that your voice - spoken or silent - matters.

Bring your journal or anything you’d like to place on the altar (crystal, flower, photo, or written prayer). Let this be your time to breathe, receive, and begin again.

An evening of deep connection and sacred ritual with the heart-opening medicine of Mama Cacao. Calling upon the Four Directions, the Universe, and Pachamama (Mother Earth), we call in our highest frequencies of light and love to anchor our prayers and intentions.

Mama Cacao’s ancestral wisdom is powerful for clarity, transformation, and heart healing. She gently guides us to explore within, releasing what no longer serves us and embracing new possibilities.

Her medicine reminds us of the infinite beauty within.

Restorative Yoga: Deep Rest and Receiving

Restorative yoga is about deep surrender and relaxation. This practice activates the parasympathetic nervous system, allowing the heart rate to slow and the breath to deepen. Supported poses with props create a sanctuary for letting go, restoring balance, and softening into inner stillness.

About your facilitators:

She beautifully blends Vinyasa, Somatics, and the heart-opening wisdom of Cacao to foster a profound connection between body, breath, and spirit.

Whether guiding a fluid flow or holding space in a deeply nourishing Restorative yoga session or Cacao Ceremony, Donna creates a sanctuary for healing, alignment, and self-awareness. Through supported poses, intentional breathwork, ceremonial elements, and soothing music, her offerings weave together ancient wisdom and modern practice - cultivating presence, joy, and heartfelt liberation.

With a nurturing and authentic approach, Donna invites you to return home to yourself and move through the world with greater intention, love, and connection.

Claim Your POWER - Men's Circle.
May
29

Claim Your POWER - Men's Circle.

This is your time.

You know it's your time.

You have been putting it off for too long.

You have been putting yourself, your dreams and your desires off for as long as you know it.

You have been people pleasing your way through life until now.

You have been embodying the identity of 'Mr Nice Guy' and you are feeling frustrated with where you are at in life.

If you're in romantic relationship, your partner yearns for you to step up, to be the masculine leader within the relationship, to step into your POWER. There's an underlying craving and need for the real and authentic you to come forward (not the people pleaser and nice guy).

Your dreams, desires and goals are calling you. This is your time to express what you want out of life and announce what is no longer aligned anymore.

Your partner / potential partner, your (future) children, the world, they all need you, the REAL you.

Everything you ever desired is waiting for you, though you need to finally and unapologetically CLAIM IT! You need to get clear on what you stand for, what you'll fight for, what direction you're moving towards.

How much longer will you allow the parts of you that are scared and fearful to get in the way of what your true and authentic self. How much longer will you be ok with foregoing what you REALLY want out of life?

You are worthy. Be the man you were born to be.

This is the time to claim your power. Are you in?

What to expect:

Join a group of like-minded men for a night of stepping up as authentic powerhouses. A safe, masculine container for you to show up unapologetically authentic will be created where all of your parts are welcome. This includes any or all of your emotions that are present including sadness, frustration, anger, joy, excitement, nervousness, etc. Together all your parts will be witnessed and held in the brotherhood of a non-judgemental safe container.

On offer to walk away with…

~ Clarity on what is or isn’t aligned

~ Confidence to fully and authentically express yourself

~ Action steps for the next month ahead

~ A deep sense that your voice is worthy of being heard

~ A community of like-minded men who have your back

~ Feeling f*cking powerful as a man

About your facilitator - Melvin @melvinsjerps

Melvin is a Men’s Coach & Mentor and is devoted to helping men who have been people pleasing, lone-wolfing it and lacking purpose, to reclaim their POWER, take responsibility and step into the 2.0 version of themselves. He is the founder of Cold Water Vikings and he is a facilitator at The Gathering Of Men.

Testimonials:

"I attended the men's circle to connect with other men and challenge myself to be vulnerable and self aware. Melvin creates a safe space where he leads by example, slowing down, speaking his truth, and being present and respectful. The exercises were useful in identifying what I want and don't want in my life. Listening to others speak, and also sharing my own thoughts, made me feel more connected to the other participants, and less isolated in my problems. Would recommend to anyone who is currently trying to deal with the challenges of being a man in todays world on their own." - Thomas

"I attended this Men's Circle with an open mind and I'm glad I did. I found Melvin to be an excellent facilitator. He made every man in the room feel comfortable with his calm, yet strong demeanour and clear expertise in understanding the challenges many men face. The session was well balanced between some teachings and some interactions. By the end of it, the energy in the room was powerful and I certainly took a lot from the experience. Most importantly, I know I am not alone in my journey, and now feel part of a brotherhood!" - Gerard

"I attended the workshop for a new challenge and to get clarity about what I do and don’t want in my life. Since attending the workshop I’ve noticed that I have greater access to my emotional body, in particular anger. I can access this part of me which I typically shut down. Melvin has helped me with many things. In particular I always leave our interactions with greater levels of clarity about the direction of my life. He has a knack for getting me to commit to the actions in my life which I know I need to do but keep putting off. If you’re on the fence about attending a workshop that Melvins running I’d say 100% give it go. It’s important to show up and give it everything you’ve got so you can get the most out of the experience. " - Sam

Each participant is always in control of their journey, and can adjust their breathing pattern to manage the intensity of the experience.

DANCE TRIBE – A Sober Dance Party Experiment by Music is Medicine.
Apr
27

DANCE TRIBE – A Sober Dance Party Experiment by Music is Medicine.

Dance, connect, and celebrate in a vibrant, clear-minded space with incredible DJs, immersive lighting, and pure, high-energy movement.

Welcome to Dance Tribe, where the energy of nightclub culture meets the clarity of a sober dance floor.

This is not ecstatic dance. This is not a typical club night. This is a space where we come together to dance, connect, and celebrate, free from alcohol and substances.

With incredible DJs, immersive lighting, and a vibrant atmosphere, Dance Tribe is about pure movement, music, and community. It’s a place where you can let loose, meet like-minded people, and experience the joy of dance in a fun, safe, and sustainable way.

💃 🕺 Why we dance

For years, dancers have found joy in movement. Whether in clubs, at festivals, or under the stars in nature. But what truly happens when people dance together?

Entrainment, a phenomenon studied in music therapy, reveals how heartbeats synchronize with the rhythm of the music and the movements of those around them. This explains why dancefloor moments feel so deeply connective. Minutes turn into hours as breath, heartbeat, and body movements align with the beat, creating a powerful sense of unity.

The science of entrainment explores how auditory rhythmic patterns influence motor responses, a key concept in neurologic music therapy. This phenomenon, known as rhythmic entrainment, allows movements to synchronize naturally with music, as seen in dancing, drumming, and other musical activities.

Who this event is for:

Dance Tribe is for anyone who loves to dance and connect. Whether a seasoned dancefloor enthusiast or someone looking for a fresh way to enjoy music and movement, this space offers an uplifting and sustainable approach to nightlife.

For those seeking more meaningful connections beyond the usual clubbing experience, Dance Tribe provides an opportunity to engage with music, community, and self-expression on a deeper level, without the addition of alcohol or substances.

Whether you're a festival lover, a longtime club-goer ready for a new kind of night out, a conscious movement enthusiast, or simply someone who thrives on the energy of a dancefloor, this space is designed to be welcoming, vibrant, and nourishing.

Dance Tribe Sundays is the perfect way to move, connect, and start the week feeling refreshed and inspired.

What to expect:

Arrival – Settle in, get comfortable, and enjoy delicious snacks while soaking in the warm-up DJ set.

Opening Circle – A short welcome to set intentions, allowing connection with the group, and tune into the space.

Dance Journey Begins – The main DJ sets take over, guiding you through deep grooves, euphoric highs, and full-bodied movement. Let loose, feel the bass, and dance like nobody's watching.

Sound Healing & Relaxation – Wind down with soothing sounds, allowing your body to integrate the energy of the dance.

Closing Circle – A space to reflect, share, and integrate the experience before transitioning back into daily life.

Official Close 6pm – For those who wish to stay, enjoy tea and conversation with your Dance Tribe. Some may head out to dinner afterward, while others may simply float home, ready to embrace the week ahead.

Dancing is a powerful way to shake off stress and boost your mood with high-vibe movement. It strengthens bonds with others through music and dance, creating a deep sense of connection. The freedom of movement brings pure joy, while the experience leaves you feeling refreshed, present, and grounded. As rhythm, breath, and movement awaken the body, a sense of vitality and upliftment emerges. Beyond the dance floor, it contributes to overall physical and mental well-being, serving as one of the best full-body workouts. The energy and inspiration from the experience can carry into the week ahead, bringing a renewed sense of enthusiasm and clarity.

What happens when we... Experiments in Authentic Relating.
Apr
25

What happens when we... Experiments in Authentic Relating.

Ever wondered what happens when we create a space to experiment with how we relate to ourselves and others?

This event invites you to step out of your default modes of interaction, drop the masks, and explore authentic relating. Together, we'll play with communication and discovering new ways of being through experiential games.

What to Expect:

- A playful atmosphere to experiment with authentic connection.

- Activities that bring out hidden parts of yourself.

- Communicate differently, with exercises like using only two words to express yourself.

- Reflect on your experiences to deepen self-awareness and connection with self and others.

Why Join?

If you’re ready to play, connect, and explore what it means to be truly present with yourself and others, this is for you. You’ll discover new insights, build meaningful connections, and surprise yourself with what emerges.

About your facilitator: Matthew - @matthews.labs

Matthew has had an interest in self and relational exploration. Curious about how play can be harnessed to find more integrity he has used the experiences of overcoming his struggles as fuel to be in service to others. In the mid 2010s he became a certified massage therapist and yoga teacher. Over the past few years he has deepened and embodied a more expressive relationship with himself and others through exploring workshops and trainings such as Ecstatic Dance, Authentic Relating, ISTA, Breathwork, Process work and the Human Forest, a consensual touch group experience.

His struggle with social anxiety has been deeply supported by Authentic Relating more than he ever could have imagined. Matthew values creating and holding spaces that are kind, clear, expressive, and exploratory. He brings his own unique flavour of play and exploration to his facilitation. He loves holding spaces where people feel safe enough to show up as the beautifully messy humans that we all are. He believes strongly in meeting everyone at their level and that finding coherence as a group involves everyone’s input.

Giants Amok - An Evening of Myth, Drum & Ancient Rhythmic Storytelling.
Apr
23

Giants Amok - An Evening of Myth, Drum & Ancient Rhythmic Storytelling.

Uncover hidden guidance through communal storytelling, informed by echoes of the ancestors, at this cosy night of ancient wisdom sharing.

This evening is a journey into Indigenous wisdom through the lens of an old myth, told to the people while the rhythm of the drum calls to the elements.

For millennia, humans have gathered to receive the guidance of ancestral intelligence, passed down to help us navigate the present. With this unique style of facilitation, we will travel together to uncover a valuable treasure trove, "a moment of community", the renewable wealth of nature brought into the human realm.

We seem to be living in a time of giants, as if the old stories of terror have come to life. Large forces threaten humanity and nature, creating a tidal wave of grief that builds behind the scenes and spills onto the daily news.

The old myths hold wisdom about giants, and like all ancient knowledge from cultures worldwide, they offer a way to decode subtle truths. These evenings and events do not provide a simple "moral of the story"; instead, they reveal a hidden doorway into the vast "storehouse" of the tale, personal to each listener yet magnified through the shared ritual of "two-way listening" around the hearth with good people.

Bring an "intention" for this evening. In this practice, that means asking yourself, If I could hear some wisdom from this story about an issue, challenge, or desire in my life, I would be open to receiving it.

It is simply an agreement to show up with an open mind and heart. If we resist the modern urge to rush and "get it all" for just one evening, we may discover the wealth hidden within the tale together.

This ancient way of engaging with a story is known as "story-carrying." If we approach it with honesty, we may find that the myth is generous enough to offer each of us a "next-best step."

About you facilitator - Randy Jones @WildGenius.guide

In a time when everything Indigenous is at risk of destruction, Jones has become an advocate for reviving the conversation between the modern world and the wisdom of Indigenous cultures. Sorrowed by the loss of the wild in modernity, he has dedicated much of his life to re-establishing an alliance between the two.

Over the last 35 years, Jones has trained with renowned teachers such as Malidoma Somé, Michael Meade, Daniel Deardorff, Sobonfu Somé, David MacMurray Smith, Linda Galloway, Francis Weller, Stephen Jenkinson, Martín Prechtel, Marion Woodman, and Robert Bly. Daniel Deardorff called him "a ritual genius."

Through his dynamic studies in mythology, ritual, rhythm, dance, counseling, and storytelling, he has developed a unique style of facilitating what has become an increasingly necessary experiential discourse between humans, nature, and the spirit world.

He is the author of Medicine Without an Expiry Date: Indigenous Remedy for Modern Trouble.

Shake It Off - Your Weekly Dose of Physical & Emotional Fitness.
Apr
22

Shake It Off - Your Weekly Dose of Physical & Emotional Fitness.

This event offers a unique blend of emotional processing, free-flow dance, and somatic exercises, designed to guide us out of our heads and back into our bodies. Through nervous system regulation, emotional release, and authentic expression, we move beyond merely surviving—into thriving.

Emotion = energy in motion. Yet, as a society, we have grown accustomed to suppressing our emotions. Because of this, our emotions remain stuck and stagnant within the body, waiting to be liberated through movement, awareness and presence.

Shake it off gives us an opportunity to safely release stress and stored emotions through movement and emotional expression tools. It allows us to reconnect with ourselves through our body. All while building our emotional and physical fitness.

Event Inclusions:

  • Emotional expression techniques: We start the event by going through some of our favourite tools and techniques for experiencing and releasing our emotions.

  • Dance and movement: Moving has never been so fun, a curated musical journey invites us to dance, and tune into the way that our body desires to move. No dance experience required for this free-flow session.

  • Somatic exercises: Ending the event with deep relaxation, be guided through some gentle, rhythmic exercises that are scientifically designed to regulate your nervous system.

Dance, release, and express at this somatic event, created to leave you feeling lighter and freer.

About your host:

Shahna Sarpi, Somatics & embodiment mentor. - @shahnasarpi

Shahna works with the body and nervous system to people out of survival mode, into a state of thriving on every level. Taking people from stressed, suppressed and exhausted… to healthy, free and radiant.

Having seen the immense power in somatic tools, emotional health and authentic expression from personal experience, Shahna now guides people home to their most empowered selves, through the body.

9D Breathwork - Reconnect to your Inner Child.
Apr
21

9D Breathwork - Reconnect to your Inner Child.

Join this multi-sensory soundscape experience that promotes emotional release, self-discovery & helps you reconnect with your true self.

9D Breathwork is an innovative and transformative practice that combines advanced breathwork techniques with a multi-sensory sound experience. Utilizing conscious connected breathing, participants enter a heightened state of awareness, allowing them to connect deeply with their inner selves and facilitate profound healing and transformation. This experience is enhanced by the integration of binaural beats, isochronic tones, solfeggio frequencies, and bioacoustic sound effects, all designed to support your journey into deeper states of consciousness.

Through this immersive approach, participants are invited to explore their subconscious mind, awaken their inner healer, and release emotional blockages. The specially curated soundscapes create an environment that promotes relaxation, emotional release, and personal insight, enabling profound shifts in perspective and energy.

This 9D Breathwork Journey theme:

Reconnect to your Inner Child

This experience is perfectly tailored for anyone who is struggling with deeply connecting with themselves because of the residue from the traumatized child within whom we abandoned along the way in order to deal with and cope with life’s struggles, which led us to becoming fragmented and showing up in life and in our relationships through dissociation, avoidance, anxious attachment, and so much more.

This journey is optimal for anyone who is looking to reconnect the fragmented parts of themselves by rewriting the narrative of their self-abandonment so they can rebirth themselves in adulthood as an integrated whole. This journey is definitely not for the faint of heart, as it will gently encourage you to look at the parts of yourself that you may have abandoned and left in the basement of your shadows along the way. By partaking in this journey, participants will come out the other side feeling a sense of deep connection with themselves, a renewed perspective on their self-image and life, and a deeper love for themselves.

What to Expect:

During each 9D Breathwork session, participants can anticipate a dynamic and enriching experience that combines active breathing, guided visualization, and immersive soundscapes. Participants are encouraged to engage with their feelings, express themselves authentically, and embrace the transformative power of the breath. Expect to uncover deeper insights, heal emotional wounds, and tap into your inherent wisdom.

Experiences during the inward journey may include:

✨ Accessing memories from the past and reframing them with compassion

✨ Connecting with the inner child and rediscovering joy and creativity

✨ Engaging in a dialogue with any internal fears, leading to personal empowerment

✨ Experiencing a sense of lightness and freedom while letting go of limiting beliefs

✨ Receiving intuitive insights or messages from a higher self or spirit guides

✨ Experiencing physical sensations of release as energy and emotions flow through the body

Important Information:

9D Breathwork is a powerful practice that may evoke intense emotions and physical sensations. Participants are encouraged to embrace the experience fully, trusting in their ability to navigate whatever arises. Each participant is always in control of their journey, and can adjust their breathing pattern to manage the intensity of the experience.

Contraindications:

While 9D Breathwork can be transformative, it may not be suitable for everyone. If you have a history of seizure disorders, cardiovascular issues, or severe mental health challenges, please consult with a healthcare professional before participating. This workshop is not recommended for individuals under the age of 16 or pregnant women without prior discussion.

Trigger Warning:

The nature of this practice encourages authentic expression, which may manifest as vocalizations, movement, or emotional release. Participants are invited to honor their own process while respecting the journeys of others. If participants are feeling overwhelmed or triggered, they can signal for support. For those seeking a gentler approach, private sessions are available.

Energy In Motion - An Ecstatic Dance & Cacao Journey.
Apr
19

Energy In Motion - An Ecstatic Dance & Cacao Journey.

Energy In Motion: An Ecstatic Dance & Cacao Journey

Welcome to "Energy In Motion," a transformational event where ecstatic dance, cacao and emotional release converge to create an unforgettable experience. This is more than an event; it's a journey of self-discovery and expression, offering a blend of personal growth, community connection, and joyous celebration.

Emotion is energy in motion and this event is designed to facilitate emotional processing with an undercurrent of bliss. It's about inner exploration and embodied expression, all wrapped up in a lively, party-like atmosphere. Personal development can be fun, and we're here to prove it.

APRIL THEME: MASCULINE

There is feminine and masculine energy in everything. Yin and yang. Shiva and Shakti.

When we tap into the essence of the energies…

Feminine = flow, cycles, receptivity, receiving, chaos, emotions, intuition, movement.

Masculine = structure, order, protection, providing, giving, thoughts, logic, stillness.

The feminine is like the water in the river, flowing along. While the masculine is like the river banks, containing and creating order for the flow of water. We cannot have one without the other, they both play an important role.

Just as a river needs both—the flowing feminine waters and the steady masculine riverbanks—we are most empowered, connected, and tapped in when we embrace both our feminine and masculine energies within.

This month, we are journeying with the energy of the masculine.

Tapping into the masculine within us all—into the energies of structure, order, protection, providing, giving, thoughts, logic and stillness.

Join us for the night as we learn from the masculine energy, creating order, clarity and stillness within.

This event is an opportunity to dance AND an invitation to transform through movement, play, and the pleasure of being fully present in your body.

Experience Highlights:

  • Ecstatic Dance: A liberating space for self-expression. Shed your inhibitions and let the rhythm guide your movements. No previous dance experience is needed—just a heart open to the journey.

  • Cacao Ceremony: Connect with this heart-opening plant magic, historically revered as 'food of the Gods'. Our cacao ceremony helps deepen your emotional awareness and connection to yourself while fueling your desire to dance and connect.

  • Guided Embodiment Activities: Curated to each month’s theme, join us and our guest facilitators as we take you on a journey to embody and integrate the essence and qualities of your star energy.

Community Guidelines:

  • Be Present: No phones on the dance floor

  • Be Clear: No intoxicants

  • Be Embodied: No talking during the dance

  • Be Respectful of Others: Consensual contact only

Join us at Energy In Motion for a transformative experience where you'll dance, connect, and evolve, surrounded by a community of kindred spirits.

Together, let's celebrate the full spectrum of the human experience, transforming through the beauty and power of dance and communal energy.

About your hosts:

Co-Host: Patty McDonald - @ pattymac.truth

Patty is passionate about helping people open their hearts and find bliss in the full spectrum of the human experience. Chakaruna means "Bridge Person" in the Quechua language - this journey is here to provide a bridge for you into new ways of connecting with your self, with each other and with the world around you.

An experienced leader and coach, he recently doubled down on music as an even purer vehicle to deliver transformation, and spent a few weeks in Guatemala dancing with and learning from some of the world's best organic music producers such as Mose, Scott Nice, ATYYA and Melbourne's own Temple Step Project. He also was humbled to learn about Cacao plant magic whilst in Guatemala and is honoured to be holding a space for Cacao and Ecstatic Dance to be shared with our community.Host:

Shahna Sarpi - @shahnasarpi

It was love at first dance, when Shahna stepped onto an ecstatic dance dance-floor. She saw the immense power in embodied movement and authentic expression, coming home to hear body and her self and feeling the liberation that comes from allowing the energy to move through her. Since that time, she has interwoven these lessons and practices into what she does personally, but also professionally.

Now, as a Somatic Healing Expert, Shahna uses embodiment practices, somatic exercises and other healing tools and modalities to help people step into their era of freedom, fullest self expression and radiance.

Guest DJ: Mike Hafner a.k.a DJ Hafner - @dj.hafner

Bringing you some of the best DJs in Melbourne, we’ll be joined by a guest DJ each event, facilitating a journey through movement and music. In April, we’re joined by DJ HAFNER!

One of the prominent figures in the Ecstatic Dance scene is DJ HAFNER, a seasoned DJ and handpan musician who has been captivating audiences with his evocative and meaningful performances for over 20 years. With a diverse background spanning genres such as downtempo, afro-house, techno, drum and bass, hip hop, global-bass, classical, and ambient music, HAFNER has developed a unique style that resonates with dancers on a deep level.

HAFNER's sets are carefully curated to create a transformative experience on the dancefloor, blending cultural and indigenous music from around the world with percussive and bass-driven electronica. His intention is to move not just the bodies of the participants but also their hearts and souls. With his wealth of experience and eclectic taste in music, HAFNER takes dancers on a journey that is both introspective and communal, allowing them to connect with themselves and others in a profound way.

Guest Facilitator: Jason - @raising_fathers

At each Energy in Motion event, we’re joined by a guest facilitator, bringing the magic and medicine of another modality to support us on our journey of transformation through embodiment. This month our special guest is…

Jason Seeman is a facilitator, educator, and guide who helps men connect to their deepest sense of self through embodied practice, rites of passage, and conscious fatherhood.

With over a decade of experience designing transformational programs, Jason brings a unique blend of wisdom, presence, and practical insight to his work. His career has spanned law, education, and leadership, including serving at The Man Cave, The Rites of Passage Institute and Raising Fathers.

A devoted father and husband, Jason understands firsthand the impact of masculine presence, vulnerability, and strength. In Energy in Motion, he offers an embodied experience of the Divine Masculine—a fusion of grounded presence, fluid expression, and deep awareness—guiding participants into ecstatic movement as a way of honouring this sacred energy.

Light Language Galactivation Transmission–Soul Activation & Energy Healing.
Apr
19

Light Language Galactivation Transmission–Soul Activation & Energy Healing.

Experience a powerful Light Language transmission to release past patterns, activate your Soul mission, and receive deep energy healing.

Are you ready for a truly transformative experience?

Currently, many cosmic and planetary shifts are impacting both individuals and the collective consciousness. Humanity is undergoing a rapid Soul embodiment ascension—a deeper connection with the higher self—causing a purification of outdated patterns held within the Lightbody and the mental plane. This clearing process can bring strong emotions to the surface, prompting individuals to re-examine their life path and make new choices that align with their Soul Truth.

What to expect:

At this event, the facilitator will channel the higher Soul Light of the group, connecting with ascended energies and galactic frequencies to support physical ascension and Soul embodiment. Working with both individuals and the group, they will provide energy healing in English and Light Language. These activations will support Soul memory recall, the release of energetic patterns that no longer serve, and a deeper connection to one’s Soul Mission.

The gathering will take place on Easter Saturday—an opportune time to work with and release past life trauma energetics from the Akashic Records. Through this process, participants will dissolve karmic and ancestral threads, freeing the body elemental to receive higher, accelerated galactic light.

Secure a spot now and embark on this journey: a nervous system reset, the gentle and respectful release of past life trauma, somatic awareness exercises for Soul embodiment, and Light Language sound healing that transcends conscious thought—targeting and activating the cell body and DNA.

Participants are encouraged to bring their crystals to support the session and amplify its potency.

Most importantly, this is an opportunity to come together and experience connection, healing, and expansion as a Soul family.

About your facilitator - Michael Muir @soul_magic_collective I YouTube I Website

Michael is a transformational healer, teacher, somatic psychotherapist, astral shaman, and Light Language conduit for higher galactic frequencies. His soul’s purpose is to channel energy from various realms as a vehicle for healing and soul remembrance.

After a 2013 trip to Uluru, in the heart of Australia, Michael developed a strong connection with Pleiadian energy. This marked the beginning of his journey into psychic expansion and an increasing connection to interdimensional frequencies and otherworldly beings.

This is where his traditional healing background as a somatic psychotherapist expanded into quantum realms. Michael began accessing divine keys and codes, integrating them into the therapeutic space to activate clients’ DNA and Akashic memory.

Michael works directly with lightbody and DNA activation through the 12 chakras. In his workshops, this process links participants to astrological alignments and portals. In one-on-one sessions, it supports karmic and past-life clearing while deepening connections to the multi-dimensional soul.

Shake It Off - Your Weekly Dose of Physical & Emotional Fitness.
Apr
15

Shake It Off - Your Weekly Dose of Physical & Emotional Fitness.

This event offers a unique blend of emotional processing, free-flow dance, and somatic exercises, designed to guide us out of our heads and back into our bodies. Through nervous system regulation, emotional release, and authentic expression, we move beyond merely surviving—into thriving.

Emotion = energy in motion. Yet, as a society, we have grown accustomed to suppressing our emotions. Because of this, our emotions remain stuck and stagnant within the body, waiting to be liberated through movement, awareness and presence.

Shake it off gives us an opportunity to safely release stress and stored emotions through movement and emotional expression tools. It allows us to reconnect with ourselves through our body. All while building our emotional and physical fitness.

Event Inclusions:

  • Emotional expression techniques: We start the event by going through some of our favourite tools and techniques for experiencing and releasing our emotions.

  • Dance and movement: Moving has never been so fun, a curated musical journey invites us to dance, and tune into the way that our body desires to move. No dance experience required for this free-flow session.

  • Somatic exercises: Ending the event with deep relaxation, be guided through some gentle, rhythmic exercises that are scientifically designed to regulate your nervous system.

Dance, release, and express at this somatic event, created to leave you feeling lighter and freer.

About your host:

Shahna Sarpi, Somatics & embodiment mentor. - @shahnasarpi

Shahna works with the body and nervous system to people out of survival mode, into a state of thriving on every level. Taking people from stressed, suppressed and exhausted… to healthy, free and radiant.

Having seen the immense power in somatic tools, emotional health and authentic expression from personal experience, Shahna now guides people home to their most empowered selves, through the body.

Things to note:

Centre of You has plenty of bolsters, blankets, and cushions for you to get cosy with. We recommend wearing comfortable, loose clothes to enable deep breathing and sitting/laying upon the floor with ease.

9D Breathwork - Full Reset.
Apr
14

9D Breathwork - Full Reset.

Join this multi-sensory soundscape experience that promotes emotional release, self-discovery & helps you reconnect with your true self.

9D Breathwork is an innovative and transformative practice that combines advanced breathwork techniques with a multi-sensory sound experience. Utilizing conscious connected breathing, participants enter a heightened state of awareness, allowing them to connect deeply with their inner selves and facilitate profound healing and transformation. This experience is enhanced by the integration of binaural beats, isochronic tones, solfeggio frequencies, and bioacoustic sound effects, all designed to support your journey into deeper states of consciousness.

Through this immersive approach, participants are invited to explore their subconscious mind, awaken their inner healer, and release emotional blockages. The specially curated soundscapes create an environment that promotes relaxation, emotional release, and personal insight, enabling profound shifts in perspective and energy.

This 9D Breathwork Journey theme:

Full Reset

Buckle your seatbelts and get ready for the Full System Reset, a somatic breathwork experience purpose-built to aid you in the mastery of release. This all-encompassing experience frees you from the clutches of the past, discarding both physical and psychological loads that foster unease. Interweaving the central themes of acceptance, gratitude, self-belief, and courage, it fosters a powerful personal rebirth. Cast off the heaviness of old programming, creating space for emotional resilience, inner peace, and renewed equilibrium. This revitalizing journey acts as a cornerstone for sustained growth and recovery, fortifying the emergence of your genuine self.

Welcome deep-seated freedom, augmenting your existence with renewed intent and boundless potential.

What to Expect:

During each 9D Breathwork session, participants can anticipate a dynamic and enriching experience that combines active breathing, guided visualization, and immersive soundscapes. Participants are encouraged to engage with their feelings, express themselves authentically, and embrace the transformative power of the breath. Expect to uncover deeper insights, heal emotional wounds, and tap into your inherent wisdom.

Experiences during the inward journey may include:

✨ Accessing memories from the past and reframing them with compassion

✨ Connecting with the inner child and rediscovering joy and creativity

✨ Engaging in a dialogue with any internal fears, leading to personal empowerment

✨ Experiencing a sense of lightness and freedom while letting go of limiting beliefs

✨ Receiving intuitive insights or messages from a higher self or spirit guides

✨ Experiencing physical sensations of release as energy and emotions flow through the body

Important Information:

9D Breathwork is a powerful practice that may evoke intense emotions and physical sensations. Participants are encouraged to embrace the experience fully, trusting in their ability to navigate whatever arises. Each participant is always in control of their journey, and can adjust their breathing pattern to manage the intensity of the experience.

Contraindications:

While 9D Breathwork can be transformative, it may not be suitable for everyone. If you have a history of seizure disorders, cardiovascular issues, or severe mental health challenges, please consult with a healthcare professional before participating. This workshop is not recommended for individuals under the age of 16 or pregnant women without prior discussion.

Trigger Warning:

The nature of this practice encourages authentic expression, which may manifest as vocalizations, movement, or emotional release. Participants are invited to honor their own process while respecting the journeys of others. If participants are feeling overwhelmed or triggered, they can signal for support. For those seeking a gentler approach, private sessions are available.

She facilitates ceremonies, workshops, and courses that teach energetic healing meditation practices, enhancing them with vibrational tools such as spirit guide communication, flower essences, herbal energetics, and plant medicine.

Following the Path of the ‘Flower Whisperer’

In her Flower Essence Consultations, she connects you to the flowers currently stepping forth to guide you on your healing journey.

Kindred Singles (20s - 40s) - A Speed Dating Event for Conscious Relating.
Apr
11

Kindred Singles (20s - 40s) - A Speed Dating Event for Conscious Relating.

Are you willing and open for a conscious relationship?

A conscious relationship is one in which both partners feel committed to a sense of purpose, and that purpose is growth. Individual growth. Shared growth as a couple. Collective growth that makes the world a better place.

AND do you ALSO love laughing, playing, meeting kindred people, or having conversations that delve deeper than “How's the weather?”.

Maybe you've also been wondering where on earth you can actually meet epic humans that aren’t posting their best blue steel on online dating apps?

Well it's here kindred friends! It’s speed dating with real life kindred folk who are open to conscious relationship AND deep and meaningful, AND also playful, human connection!

INTENTION and FLOW

While you might meet the love of your life, we don’t want you too fixated on the outcome!

Soooooo…. Cast the intention to meet who it is you are desiring to meet and then…

**LET IT GO and LET FLOW!**

You can now relax into the opportunity for an evening of soulful, nourishing connection meeting some incredible people who are on a similar journey to you.

Let’s play some games, meet some humans, see where the night takes us!

Know that regardless of the outcome of this event, the structured games, the agreements, the sweetness of the outline of the evening will aim to ensure that this is an enjoyable evening for all.

WHO

This is a heterosexually focused event. We plan to have even numbers of men and women and you will be paired to connect with every person of the opposite gender.

(Please note we are running two separate events differentiated by age brackets)

THIS LISTING is for the age bracket of 20's - 40's!

DETAILS of the EVENING

6:15pm onwards - Arrival with Tea

6:30pm - Opening with Agreements

PAIRINGS: You will play a structured game with each person of the opposite gender.

Games will be in alignment with cultivating conscious relating. They will be simple yet meaningful, and include things like answering prompted questions, sentence stems, structured curiosity games, drawing games, and Authentic Relating exercises.

There will be breaks to prevent date fatigue :)

10pm Informal social connection at the end with tea provided. You may choose to skip this part if you'd rather head home upon event close.

------------------------------------------------------------------

TESTIMONIALS

“I’ve never felt so open and safe and held before. The room and the energy was so divine... there was an equalness between us all. It was phenomenal. I came away from this experience with so much more than I thought.”

“I had such a beautiful time. It was so healing and so hope-evoking just to experience that kind of connection and interact with conscious men. It was reaffirming that my standards for intimate connection are not too high after all and that gentle, present, receptive masculinity is out there (I'd only seen it on Instagram 😂).”

“Omg!! What an epic evening. Thank you so much!!”

“So much fun!! I feel invigorated!”

“Super edgy for me, but the facilitators made it really comfortable to be there. I enjoyed the structured games to get to know people on a deeper level.”

------------------------------------------------------------------

PLEASE NOTE: we understand the sensitivity and vulnerability of attending an event like this. We endeavour to make everyone feel as comfortable as possible and to create an atmosphere where you feel safe and encouraged to express yourself as who you really are.

While the intention of this event is to create opportunities for romantic connection, all connection starts as two humans meeting each other for the first time and finding common ground. We suggest you see this event as an opportunity to connect to the common ground of all people participating rather than only the ones you feel an “attraction” to. This creates more safety for all those involved and also enables YOU to have a really enjoyable experience with all your pairings!

Please contact us if you are unsure about anything about this event or would like more details. We would be really happy to talk to you.

------------------------------------------------------------------

HOW TO BOOK!

++ Men - pledge your commitment quickly. There are literally women waiting to meet you! ++

Women’s tickets are being released as each man says YES. Women, we suggest you pop your name on the waitlist now so we can easefully release a spot to you.

A note about the waitlist... the waitlist is super essential to this event as there are almost always changes and we call names off of it, even on the day. Trust that if you're meant to be here, an opportunity for you to join will arise. Cupid is clever like that.

Shake It Off - Your Weekly Dose of Physical & Emotional Fitness.
Apr

Shake It Off - Your Weekly Dose of Physical & Emotional Fitness.

This event offers a unique blend of emotional processing, free-flow dance, and somatic exercises, designed to guide us out of our heads and back into our bodies. Through nervous system regulation, emotional release, and authentic expression, we move beyond merely surviving—into thriving.

Emotion = energy in motion. Yet, as a society, we have grown accustomed to suppressing our emotions. Because of this, our emotions remain stuck and stagnant within the body, waiting to be liberated through movement, awareness and presence.

Shake it off gives us an opportunity to safely release stress and stored emotions through movement and emotional expression tools. It allows us to reconnect with ourselves through our body. All while building our emotional and physical fitness.

Event Inclusions:

  • Emotional expression techniques: We start the event by going through some of our favourite tools and techniques for experiencing and releasing our emotions.

  • Dance and movement: Moving has never been so fun, a curated musical journey invites us to dance, and tune into the way that our body desires to move. No dance experience required for this free-flow session.

  • Somatic exercises: Ending the event with deep relaxation, be guided through some gentle, rhythmic exercises that are scientifically designed to regulate your nervous system.

Dance, release, and express at this somatic event, created to leave you feeling lighter and freer.

About your host:

Shahna Sarpi, Somatics & embodiment mentor. - @shahnasarpi

Shahna works with the body and nervous system to people out of survival mode, into a state of thriving on every level. Taking people from stressed, suppressed and exhausted… to healthy, free and radiant.

Having seen the immense power in somatic tools, emotional health and authentic expression from personal experience, Shahna now guides people home to their most empowered selves, through the body.

Throughout the session, participants will be guided toward elevated levels of self-compassion, acceptance, and renewal, revealing the authentic self within. It’s a transformative experience where the potency of music and breath intertwines to foster emotional clarity, tranquility, and a rebirth into your truest potential.

Participants are encouraged to engage with their feelings, express themselves authentically, and embrace the transformative power of the breath. Expect to uncover deeper insights, heal emotional wounds, and tap into your inherent wisdom.

Experiences during the inward journey may include:

✨ Accessing memories from the past and reframing them with compassion

✨ Connecting with the inner child and rediscovering joy and creativity

✨ Engaging in a dialogue with any internal fears, leading to personal empowerment

✨ Experiencing a sense of lightness and freedom while letting go of limiting beliefs

✨ Receiving intuitive insights or messages from a higher self or spirit guides

✨ Experiencing physical sensations of release as energy and emotions flow through the body

Important Information:

9D Breathwork is a powerful practice that may evoke intense emotions and physical sensations. Participants are encouraged to embrace the experience fully, trusting in their ability to navigate whatever arises. Each participant is always in control of their journey, and can adjust their breathing pattern to manage the intensity of the experience.

Contraindications:

While 9D Breathwork can be transformative, it may not be suitable for everyone. If you have a history of seizure disorders, cardiovascular issues, or severe mental health challenges, please consult with a healthcare professional before participating. This workshop is not recommended for individuals under the age of 16 or pregnant women without prior discussion.

Trigger Warning:

The nature of this practice encourages authentic expression, which may manifest as vocalizations, movement, or emotional release. Participants are invited to honor their own process while respecting the journeys of others. If participants are feeling overwhelmed or triggered, they can signal for support. For those seeking a gentler approach, private sessions are available.

O'gasmic Cacao Ecstatic Dance. A Tantalizing Journey of Liberation & Bliss.
Apr
6

O'gasmic Cacao Ecstatic Dance. A Tantalizing Journey of Liberation & Bliss.

You're invited to indulge your senses upon this tantalizing dance journey of bliss.

Aligned with Neo-Tantric practices like somatic shaking and ecstatic dance, O’gasmic Cacao Dance includes the energy of eros, the releasing of the mind and celebration of our pure being.

While s.xual energy is welcome in this space it is welcome to run vertically - meaning you are experiencing your pleasure individually for YOU - you are not horizontally putting your energy ONTO others. That way we can safely enjoy our own experience.

What exactly does this look like?

You are invited to allow the music to move your body in ways that evoke pleasure and connection to self. This can look like exploring varying movement paces. i.e. moving sensually and slowly then passionately and erratically. This can look like incorporating sounding into your dance as different emotions and feelings meet you. This can look like removing items of clothing - all humans are welcome in this dance to experiment with the removal and addition of clothing (lower underwear remains on).

While your facilitator, Chloe Adriana does run events where shared s.xual energy is welcome, O’gasmic Cacao Dance is not that event. If your own s.exual energy ignites within this dance journey, be present with it, move with it, explore it. This event is an inner-experience... no-one will know what your dance entails unless you choose to share about it later.

O'gasmic Cacao Dance is for all genders, it is LGBTQI+ - BIPOC friendly.

What to expect:

O'gasmic Cacao Dance begins as a circle of humans who share a warm, nurturing cup of cacao together while naming what's alive for them (commonly valid trepidation, uncertainty, curiosity, excitement) before setting personal intentions. A live guest ecstatic dance DJ then guides a free-movement dance set inviting consistent, embodied, exploratory connection with self before optionally sharing personal inner experiences back in community circle to close.

Testimonials:

"That was liberating beyond words. The container you created for me to unleash, let go and just be with myself was amazing. The energy in the room, the music, the guidance, the permission... incredible."

"Thank-you for holding/hosting this space to enable everyone to fully express themself, particularly witnessing and experiencing a space where women can be topless among men and feel respected and not sexualised. To also witness different body types in a non-sexual context."

O'gasmic Cacao Dance is a MOVEMENT!

There are no photos taken or permitted to be taken at this event.

Human Forest & Open Sesame Live Band - A Regenerative Touch Party.
Apr
4

Human Forest & Open Sesame Live Band - A Regenerative Touch Party.

Join us for an evening of live music, laughter, touch, connection and love—a special collaboration between Open Sesame and the Human Forest. It's going to be a party!

This will be a final hoorah for Ali, who has been facilitating the Human Forest in Melbourne for almost 2 years. She will soon be gallivanting around Australia in her new van. This experience invites you to immerse yourself in community, the joy of music, the pleasure and healing power of touch, and, most importantly, to have FUN.

We'd love to see you crazy critters let loose, relish in touch, and have a good old boogie.

What Awaits You:

In the Human Forest, participants will come together to co-create a space of spiritual connection, mirroring the harmony of nature itself. Like trees rooted in the same earth and reaching toward the same sky, we will join hands, hearts, and energies to awaken a sense of unity and divine flow.

What is a Human Forest and Open Sesame?

For those of you that don't know, a Human Forest Experience is a human ecosystem connected by consensual touch.

Half of the room will be trees, who will be blindfolded and receiving loving, devotional touch from the other half of the room (the critters). You will have the opportunity to experience being both a tree and a critter.

These events can be powerful, healing opportunities to experience intimacy and joy. Our priority is to support participants in leaving our events feeling open, cared for, and loved. Come be part of a movement that awakens people to the joyful, healing, and restorative power of touch.

Open Sesame is an experience that combines a live band, a facilitator, ceremony, meditation, breath work, sound baths and metamorphic dance journey.

In Open Sesame we work with the three C’s of healing:

Connection: To the self, to the creative process, and to others. When we isolate, hide our expression, don’t ask for what we need, and perpetuate low self worth, we become unwell. Connecting with self and others can be challenging, but when done in a safe and supportive environment, it is deeply transformative.

Cardio: Dancing, stretching, running and jumping accelerate the heart rate, get blood pumping through stagnant areas of the body, and promote vitality and energy.

Catharsis: With the aid of music, breath, movement, visioning and meditation, we can access and express more of our primal nature.

It’s common to inhibit our natural, honest expression. However, as we express more of our energy within through sound and movement, we surprise ourselves, we can enjoy more of ourselves, and create a fuller palette of clarity-enhancing our mental, physical, emotional and physical experience.

See, feel, and explore the magic of Open Sesame HERE - a truly breathtaking collaboration you won’t want to miss.

-----------------

IMPORTANT:

  • In this event we focus on devotional, loving and non-sexually oriented touch. Note: there is no genitalia touch at this event.

  • All our events have been remarkably healing and opening for many participants, as seen in the testimonials above.

  • That being said, this is a touch focused event. If you have any history of trauma related to receiving or giving touch, please be in touch with us directly to seriously consider whether this event is right for you.

  • Participants are required to be on time to ensure they understand how to communicate their boundaries with clarity and respect via the consent and boundaries section at the commencement of the event.

Shake It Off - Physical & Emotional Fitness (Free Community Event)
Apr

Shake It Off - Physical & Emotional Fitness (Free Community Event)

SPECIAL FREE COMMUNITY EVENT

Shake It Off - Your Weekly Dose of Physical & Emotional Fitness.

This event offers a unique blend of emotional processing, free-flow dance, and somatic exercises, designed to guide us out of our heads and back into our bodies. Through nervous system regulation, emotional release, and authentic expression, we move beyond merely surviving—into thriving.

Emotion = energy in motion. Yet, as a society, we have grown accustomed to suppressing our emotions. Because of this, our emotions remain stuck and stagnant within the body, waiting to be liberated through movement, awareness and presence.

Shake it off gives us an opportunity to safely release stress and stored emotions through movement and emotional expression tools. It allows us to reconnect with ourselves through our body. All while building our emotional and physical fitness.

Event Inclusions:

  • Emotional expression techniques: We start the event by going through some of our favourite tools and techniques for experiencing and releasing our emotions.

  • Dance and movement: Moving has never been so fun, a curated musical journey invites us to dance, and tune into the way that our body desires to move. No dance experience required for this free-flow session.

  • Somatic exercises: Ending the event with deep relaxation, be guided through some gentle, rhythmic exercises that are scientifically designed to regulate your nervous system.

Dance, release, and express at this somatic event, created to leave you feeling lighter and freer.

About your host:

Shahna Sarpi, Somatics & embodiment mentor. - @shahnasarpi

Shahna works with the body and nervous system to people out of survival mode, into a state of thriving on every level. Taking people from stressed, suppressed and exhausted… to healthy, free and radiant.

Having seen the immense power in somatic tools, emotional health and authentic expression from personal experience, Shahna now guides people home to their most empowered selves, through the body.

Things to note:

Centre of You has plenty of bolsters, blankets, and cushions for you to get cosy with. We recommend wearing comfortable, loose clothes to enable deep breathing and sitting/laying upon the floor with ease.

Sound Shower - Transformation & Healing Through Sound.
Mar
31

Sound Shower - Transformation & Healing Through Sound.

Bathe in pure sounds that will take you on a deeply transformational journey to release stagnant energy and harmonize mind and body.

About the experience:

The Soundshower combines chimes, tibetan bowls, flutes and vocal harmonics. During a session you will be invited to lie down and immerse in vibrations created by these special instruments.

Throughout the “Shower” different instruments are carried around the room and sometimes placed physically on the body. Flutes and voice are used to create a magical musical journey and overtones charge the brain and energize the body.

Being exposed to these healing frequencies enhances a physical, mental and emotional calibration to the human body and energy field. Pure frequencies are known to shift and release stagnant energy and tension accumulated in the body.

The Soundshower aims to re-align and harmonize body and mind in a very relaxing and refreshing experience. It may release stress and anxiety which can increase focus, clarity and insight.

About the facilitator: Avishai Barnatan - @avishaibarnatan

Avishai is a Multi-Instrumentalist, Producer and Sound Healing Facilitator. Since 1990 he has been exploring the nature of sound and its therapeutic qualities as a tool for physical and emotional transformation and healing.

He facilitates group and private sessions, applying different techniques of vibrational therapy as well as workshops teaching sound healing practices.

Avishai has facilitated “Soundshowers” in festivals such as Wanderlust, Byron Spirit festival, Evolve Yoga fest, Jerusalem Sacred Music Festival and Uplift festival. He regularly holds sessions at venues around Australia.

Mar

CREATOR — A Soul Deep Ceremony to Awaken Your Full Bodied Power — Free Event.

Unlock your creative power by aligning mind, body, and energy. A transformative ceremony of breathwork, movement, and synergy.

This is a FREE community event.

Welcome to a potent initiation into the deep creative power that resides in you when you align your core Essence, Physiology, Psychology, Words, and Actions together.

This ceremony guides you through the valleys of distraction, procrastination, and self-doubt to the raw, potent creative power that lives inside you.

This is an invitation to experience the true power of synergy between the twin powers of creation that live within you—conscious and unconscious, internal and external, physical and energetic, possibility and reality.

By cultivating synergy between these often opposing forces, you tap into the creative engine of your true power to create yourself, your relationships, and your world.

This ceremony is designed to give you a full-bodied experience of what this new creative power feels like, as well as a map to create your life with more ease and power than you ever have before.

Whatever you want to create in this life—for yourself and those you love and serve—at the end of this ceremony, you will have more power to make real results happen in all areas of your life.

This ceremony brings together focus, intention, breathwork, movement, and sound with a potent, synergized group and beautiful music.

About you facilitator - Arion Light @arion_light

If you want to know a little about me, here is my story.

15 years ago my wife, and mother to our young son, was diagnosed with terminal cancer and everything fell apart. Yet in her last months on earth we found a love that was deeper than anything we had ever known. Not just a love between us but a love through us and all around us. She called it ‘the love that cannot die and it was a miracle beyond all words and understanding. It wasn’t just a ‘feeling’ but a living current of love that awakened me both to the miracle of the moment and it guided my every action.

When she passed in my arms it was the most horrific time and the deepest experience of love I have ever known. I committed my life to this love and that began a journey to learn how to cultivate this current of love throughout my whole life. It wasn't just an inner feeling but a potent creative fire that ignited me to serve more fully than I dreamed.

I learned how to attune my body, my actions and my whole life to this current. In time I found others who had also tasted this love and helped them become this love fully as well. This then turned into the Warriors of Love programs running retreats, year long trainings and practitioner trainings. I have also created the Synergy process to attune our conscious and unconscious to the love. I have helped tens of thousands people attune to this current and awaken their creative power born from this love.

Her Holy Heartache - Navigating Grief with Grace.
Mar
30

Her Holy Heartache - Navigating Grief with Grace.

Gather in sacred sister circle for a day of exploration, expression & connection—honoring the heartache of love & longing.

Join Dvonne and Lisa for a transformative day of exploration, expression and connection.

In this women’s circle, participants gather in reverence for the heartache that reflects how deeply they have loved and the surrender of their longings. Together, they create a safe passage for grief to move, breathe, and simply be.

Our griefs are the truest parts of ourselves.” – Günter Grass

'They are a holy reminder of the fullness of our love, our longing, and the aliveness within us'

When a heart feels like it is shattering, it is because grief is an invitation to break open—to pour love into the present moment and be called back to life. The more one grieves, the more whole and holy they become.

What to expect:

🤍 Prayer

🤍 Grief honouring and processing

🤍 Gentle guided movement

🤍 Solo and partnered practices

🤍 Connection through sisterhood and sitting in circle

🤍 Cups of tea

This is for women who:

🤍 Want to learn how to be with, honour and explore the nuances of grief

🤍 Have a longing to accept what was, what could have been, and what is

🤍 Want to be held in sisterhood as they grieve

Allow your heavenly heart to be held

With grace, glory and gratitude

With patience, presence and peace

May it be subtle, soft and slow

Her Holy Heartache is a space where the love within the heart is awakened.

About your facilitators:

Dvonne Loring - @dvonne

Holistic Counsellor | Coach | Embodied Space Holder | Creator of Safe Authentic Spaces

A woman guided by the depths of her heart, authenticity, expression, and embodiment are the pillars by which she lives. Dvonne has an insatiable curiosity for the endless textures of our human experience and is ever-humbled by the greater workings of life itself. Informed by her tertiary education, work across disability, mental health, and various wellness spaces, as well as her rich lived experience, Dvonne’s practice and approach to space holding invite women to discover and express their authenticity, creating and living a life from this embodied place.

Lisa Anderson - @lisawildloveanderson

Faith-Fuelled Feminine Embodiment Coach

A woman in devotion to the richness of life, the depth of love, and the full spectrum of emotion, without sacrificing truth. The foundation of her ministry is grounded in the belief that we are wonderfully made—bodies, emotions, and all. With a deep understanding of feminine design, her work invites women to soften and return to a sense of safety, so they can move into a life led by a sound mind, a steady heart, and the wellspring of their vitality and nature as women.

A few notes from Dvonne & Lisa:

We invite participants to tune into whether this experience feels right for them—only they truly know if they are ready and willing to explore grief and love in their depths. There is no pressure or expectation; each person will go only as far as they feel comfortable. The work offered is gentle yet deeply enriching.

At this stage, this gathering is for those who reside in a female body.

Not knowing what one is grieving is another natural expression of grief. It comes and goes, and there is no need to always understand what is being grieved. The focus is on feeling the grief rather than thinking about it.

We offer a Her Holy Heartache Community, for those feeling they would like to deepen this work. This is a 30 day closed container offered to those who’d like further integration, access to intimate community, holding and support from Lisa and Dvonne. A space for continued sharing and reflections amongst members where Lisa and Dvonne are available to answer questions that may arise. This isn’t intensive coaching, more simple suggestions, guidance and/or practices from us to land after HHH and support integration of this work into life beyond HHH.

HHHC begins 7 days after HHH - Sunday 6th April - 5th May

Things to note:

Centre of You has plenty of bolsters, blankets, and cushions for you to get cosy with. We recommend wearing comfortable, loose clothes to enable deep breathing and sitting/laying upon the floor with ease. Something to cover your eyes, if you wish to do so (eg. eye mask, scarf). A journal is recommended as are any familiar personal items that will aid you in feeling grounded (crystal, teddy, scarf, etc).

Personal responsibility: Please make an assessment on whether you are feeling stable and resourced enough to explore the practices on offer in this event.

What happens when we... - An exploration of Authentic Relating.
Mar
29

What happens when we... - An exploration of Authentic Relating.

Ever wondered what happens when we create a space to experiment with how we relate to ourselves and others?

This event invites you to step out of your default modes of interaction, drop the masks, and explore authentic relating. Together, we'll play with communication and discovering new ways of being through experiential games.

What to Expect:

- A playful atmosphere to experiment with authentic connection.

- Activities that bring out hidden parts of yourself.

- Communicate differently, with exercises like using only two words to express yourself.

- Reflect on your experiences to deepen self-awareness and connection with self and others.

Why Join?

If you’re ready to play, connect, and explore what it means to be truly present with yourself and others, this is for you. You’ll discover new insights, build meaningful connections, and surprise yourself with what emerges.

About your facilitator: Matthew - @matthews.labs

Matthew has had an interest in self and relational exploration. Curious about how play can be harnessed to find more integrity he has used the experiences of overcoming his struggles as fuel to be in service to others. In the mid 2010s he became a certified massage therapist and yoga teacher. Over the past few years he has deepened and embodied a more expressive relationship with himself and others through exploring workshops and trainings such as Ecstatic Dance, Authentic Relating, ISTA, Breathwork, Process work and the Human Forest, a consensual touch group experience.

His struggle with social anxiety has been deeply supported by Authentic Relating more than he ever could have imagined. Matthew values creating and holding spaces that are kind, clear, expressive, and exploratory. He brings his own unique flavour of play and exploration to his facilitation. He loves holding spaces where people feel safe enough to show up as the beautifully messy humans that we all are. He believes strongly in meeting everyone at their level and that finding coherence as a group involves everyone’s input.

Things to note:

Centre of You has plenty of bolsters, blankets, and cushions for you to get cosy with.

Voices of the Drum: Channeling the Sounds of the Ancestral Voice.
Mar
29

Voices of the Drum: Channeling the Sounds of the Ancestral Voice.

A playful & immersive journey into the self as a vessel for ancient, ancestral sound, awakening through the resonance of the medicine drum.

Step into a sacred playspace where the resonance of the medicine drum meets the authentic voice within. This workshop is an invitation to honour the drum in its simplicity, in its elemental make-up, and in its deep ancestral lineage. As we connect with the heartbeat of the drum, we open ourselves to the wisdom it carries, allowing sound to move through us in spontaneous, uninhibited expression.

This is a journey of exploration, not expectation - a space where sound emerges naturally. There will be absolutely no pressure placed within the space for singing or sounding alone.

Whether you are new to vocal expression and drum chanting or are already familiar with the power of your voice, this playshop offers a supportive container to connect with the unseen threads of ancestral sound that we are the carriers of.

This is a co-created gathering of spirituality, grounding and introspection accessed through the meditative, ritualistic, rhythmic trance state of chanting and shamanic/medicine drumming.

What to Expect

  • Feeling the resonance of the medicine drum within your body and energy field

  • Honouring the drum’s elemental makeup and ancestral history

  • Playing with spontaneous, intuitive, free vocal expression

  • Experimenting with basic drum rhythms and learning drum chants

  • Experiencing yourself as a channel for sound

This is not an activity for the ego, it is one for the soul. It's a practice of reclaiming access to your voice, your sound, your expression your way, at your pace, at your volume. We gather as our bloodlines have throughout our ancestry known and unknown in community circle.

There is absolutely no need to know how to drum or chant. Join with an open heart and a playful spirit. You may be surprised by the sounds that live within you and how it feels to allow them the freedom of expression.

Bring your frame drum / medicine drum / shamanic drum if you have one. If not, come as you are - we have a variety of drums you can use at Centre of You.

About your facilitator - Grace Elizabeth - @centreofyou_chapelst

You will be guided through this experience by founder and director of Centre of You, Grace Elizabeth. Sharing song was instrumental to Grace's identity in her high school days as captain of her school choir, Stacella, an acappela choir centred around tribal, world and devotional music. During Shamanic Breathwork training in 2019, Grace found immediate resonance with the practice of shamanic/medicine drumming and chanting. Drum chants led into mantra chanting where she fell in deep alignment with kirtan (devotional call and response singing). Grace is continuing her journey towards reclaiming and regaining trust, acceptance and love for her voice through the devotional routes of kirtan and drum chanting after repressing it for two decades. Upon Grace's personal vocal reclamation journey, she has come to the realisation that the desire to befriend one's voice, spoken or sung, is a collectively shared one by many. Grace adores catching divine-gifted chants when streamed through her own consciousness, of which she feels are an honour to share.

Things to note:

Centre of You has plenty of bolsters, blankets, and cushions for you to get cosy with.

Creating Strong Boundaries – A Key to Healthy Relationships & Self-Worth.
Mar
28

Creating Strong Boundaries – A Key to Healthy Relationships & Self-Worth.

Learn to set clear, confident boundaries that protect your energy, strengthen relationships, and help you show up as your best self.

About the experience:

Boundaries are essential for speaking up, protecting yourself, and building healthy relationships. Yet, setting them can feel difficult and uncomfortable. In a world that often validates self-sacrifice, saying no can be one of the hardest things to do.

However, boundaries are crucial for maintaining well-being and preventing burnout. When pleasing others to avoid conflict becomes a priority, we can end up overworked, unheard, frustrated, and alone. Setting boundaries isn’t selfish—it ensures we have the energy to sustain ourselves and show up fully in our lives.

Boundaries protect our time, energy, and resources from those who take too much. They prevent us from becoming pushovers and allow us to decide when to give and when we’ve reached our limit. When we repeatedly allow others to cross our boundaries, we unconsciously reinforce the belief that our needs are less important, which takes a significant toll on our mental health.

You’ve likely heard the advice: "You need stronger boundaries." But how do you actually set and maintain them?

This workshop may help you:

✨ Understand what boundaries are and why they’re essential.

✨ Identify why setting them can feel so difficult.

✨ Explore the societal conditioning that makes boundary-setting challenging.

✨ Learn how to define and communicate boundaries effectively.

✨ Recognize when boundaries are being crossed.

At the end of the workshop, participant's will have the opportunity to practice setting and holding boundaries in a safe, supportive space—allowing them to notice what comes up and develop confidence in asserting their needs.

About your facilitator - Kiara Jade @kiarajaderelationships

Shake It Off - Your Weekly Dose of Physical & Emotional Fitness.
Mar
25

Shake It Off - Your Weekly Dose of Physical & Emotional Fitness.

Come along and shake it off... your worries, resentments, fears, pressures, etc. All of it, and all of you, is welcome.

This event offers a unique blend of emotional processing, free-flow dance, and somatic exercises, designed to guide us out of our heads and back into our bodies. Through nervous system regulation, emotional release, and authentic expression, we move beyond merely surviving—into thriving.

Emotion = energy in motion. Yet, as a society, we have grown accustomed to suppressing our emotions. Because of this, our emotions remain stuck and stagnant within the body, waiting to be liberated through movement, awareness and presence.

Shake it off gives us an opportunity to safely release stress and stored emotions through movement and emotional expression tools. It allows us to reconnect with ourselves through our body. All while building our emotional and physical fitness.

Event Inclusions:

  • Emotional expression techniques: We start the event by going through some of our favourite tools and techniques for experiencing and releasing our emotions.

  • Dance and movement: Moving has never been so fun, a curated musical journey invites us to dance, and tune into the way that our body desires to move. No dance experience required for this free-flow session.

  • Somatic exercises: Ending the event with deep relaxation, be guided through some gentle, rhythmic exercises that are scientifically designed to regulate your nervous system.

Dance, release, and express at this somatic event, created to leave you feeling lighter and freer.

About your host:

Shahna Sarpi, Somatics & embodiment mentor. - @shahnasarpi

Shahna works with the body and nervous system to people out of survival mode, into a state of thriving on every level. Taking people from stressed, suppressed and exhausted… to healthy, free and radiant.

Having seen the immense power in somatic tools, emotional health and authentic expression from personal experience, Shahna now guides people home to their most empowered selves, through the body.

Step out of your day-to-day identity, open to the non-ordinary and surrender into the realm of inner curiosity, exploration and insights.

About this experience:

Shamanic Breathwork is a dynamic, somatic, feeling-focused modality of transformation. A conscious-connected circular breathing technique is drawn upon which aids in dissolving the Ego's masks and defenses to make way for a natural, altered state of consciousness akin to a dreamlike state. Facilitating access to the subconscious mind serves to awaken the inner-healer within, or inner-shaman - the part of your 'self' that with compassionate, curious witnessing, attention and care can move towards integrating any content illuminated for the next stage of your personal evolution. Specifically curated chakra-attunded music supports this sensory experience.

What to expect:

This is an active session of feeling, movement and authentic expression where participants may receive powerful insights and wisdom, tap into their essence and connect deeply with the self. This process can uncover long-held energetic and/or behavioural patterns of limitation offering greater self-understanding and self-healing.

All that's asked is to commit to the process, surrender to the experience and breathe until you're surprised!

Possible experiences from your inward journey could include:

  • Traveling time and space (past or future timelines)

  • Journeying with beings from non-ordinary realms (spirit guides, ancestors, future children)

  • Shapeshifting into a spirit-animal

  • Visiting memories from experiences lived

  • Rendezvousing with the future-self

  • Receiving messages from higher realms of consciousness

From a physical perspective, participants may experience a release of stagnant, stuck or repressed energy and/or emotion. This may unfurl peacefully or dynamically via movement and titrated catharsis.

True healing is found through one's embodied and integrated direct experience and for this reason, an integrative artwork process and optional opportunity to share is weaved into the container.

Important: Shamanic Breathwork requires a commitment to a cyclical breathing pattern and has the potential to bring about intense feelings which may result in strong physical and/or emotional release. This practice involves the voluntary hyper-oxygenation of your bloodstream, paving the way for reaching an altered state of consciousness where you may experience possibilities that are not grounded in this reality - you can control the intensity of the experience by adjusting your breathing pattern. You are always in control.

Contraindications (considerations for your safety): If you have Epilepsy, cardiovascular or blood pressure issues you may wish to consider carefully if joining a dynamic breathwork process is appropriate for you. This type of breathwork is not recommended for pregnant women, although if you are pregnant and wish to join, please alert us and you will be offered a more gentle breathing pattern. If you are living with a mental health condition or challenges, please check-in with your current capacity to join. Should you be currently experiencing active episodes of psychosis, please do not join at this time. You are always most welcome to initiate a conversation to discuss your particular needs via grace@centreofyou.com.au. It's best that you attend on a relatively empty stomach and eat a grounding meal following the practice.

Trigger/activation warning: This practice encourages the authentic and uninhibited expression of all that arises in real-time. This could appear as screaming, crying, laughter or other forms of vocal sounding. You may hear such sounds from participants around you. This modality invites you to remain centred within your own process and interpret other people's authentic expressions as their journey without attaching to it. If you feel triggered in response to another’s experience or if you require any attention 1-1, you can simply put your hand up for support. If you would prefer to practice this modality outside of a group setting for a more controlled environment, you may consider connecting with Grace for a 1-1 session.

About your facilitator: Grace Elizabeth @centreofyou_chapelst

Grace Elizabeth, Centre of You Founder & Director, geeks out on modalities and processes that turns conscious awareness inwards. She believes that only good comes of knowing oneself intimately and is in admiration of anyone that dives deeply within with willingness and commitment. Grace met Shamanic Breathwork in 2018 in Ubud, Bali upon her personal self-discovery quest where the power of the process took her by surprise. She deeply resonates with the ceremonial, elemental and mystical interweavings of Shamanic Breathwork and finds meaning in guiding others to explore what these realms can offer them. Each Shamanic Breathwork journey lives on within Grace as an embodied memory, memories that continue to provide her with insight.

Things to note:

Centre of You has plenty of bolsters, blankets, and cushions for you to get cosy with. A journal is recommended as are any familiar personal items that will aid you in feeling grounded (crystal, teddy, scarf, etc). Bring an eyemask.

Personal responsibility: Please make an assessment on whether you are feeling stable and resourced enough to explore the practices on offer in this event.

Autumn Equinox Creative Art Workshop -  Finding Divine Balance Within.
Mar
22

Autumn Equinox Creative Art Workshop - Finding Divine Balance Within.

Embark on a journey of artistic expression to find balance within through breathwork, meditation, and art. Align, release, and create.

Join Valerie from Active Kreative for a soul-nourishing journey of breathwork, meditation, and creative expression through art as we honor the Autumn Equinox - a time of balance, reflection, and renewal.

The Autumn Equinox is a powerful moment of balance and transition, where day and night exist in harmony. As the Sun moves into Aries, we are invited to pause, reflect, and realign with our natural rhythm - releasing what no longer serves us and making space for new beginnings.

Shift into the New Astrological Year

As the equinox brings balance between light and dark, we’re called to reflect on areas of imbalance - whether in relationships, work, or within ourselves. This moment invites us to activate dormant seeds for renewal and ask if we are receiving as much as we give, if our relationships, finances, and health are in balance, and if we have healthy boundaries in place.

To restore balance, we may need to release draining commitments, nurture uplifting relationships, and release guilt around receiving.

About the Experience:

Artistic Expression & Sensory Integration via a hands-on creative process using collage, painting, and air-dry clay will be on offer to support in exploring and embodying a personal sense of balance. These materials will help to visually and tangibly activate intentions for harmony and transformation.

Energetic Activation & Intention Setting to connect with and balance the natural cycle of giving and receiving.

Bilateral Exercise for Creative Flow to engage both hemispheres of the brain and unlock intuitive creativity.

Guided Visualization Meditation to to experience an immersive experience of abundance and reciprocity flow.

Creations will be embued with a personal affirmation, sealing in insights and intentions. Regulating practices such as somatic breathing, sensory exercises, and mindful grounding techniques will be interwoven into the workshop in facilitation of centeredness, balance, and deep connection to self.

About you facilitator - Valeriya Ogorodnyk @activekreative | Website

Valerie Ogorodnyk is a transpersonal art therapist who helps people reconnect with themselves through art and creativity. Born in Ukraine and living in Melbourne for 18 years, she believes that self-expression is a powerful tool for healing. In 2022, she organised the Ukrainian Refugee Support Group in Melbourne, using art to help displaced individuals process trauma. As the founder of Active Kreative, Valerie developed a non-verbal healing methodology that blends art therapy, neurographics, sacred geometry, and somatic practices, which is now used by therapists, educators, and health professionals. Through her work, she invites everyone—whether struggling with life transitions, seeking emotional clarity, or looking to reconnect with their creative spark—to explore their inner world and step into their fullest potential.
