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.

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.

Born in Ukraine and living in Melbourne for 18 years, she believes that self-expression is a powerful tool for healing.

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.

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.

MARCH THEME: FEMININE

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 feminine.

Tapping into the feminine within us all—into the energies of flow, receptivity, intuition, and movement.

Join us for a night of surrendering into the feminine and receiving the beauty it offers.

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

SPIRITUAL COMPASS

This event is part of our 4-part Spiritual Compass series exploring polarities, which includes the themes light, dark, feminine and masculine.

Life is full of polarities, where we play on a spectrum between the two extremes.

Let us explore each end of the spectrum, some of the core energies that permeate through our existence here on earth. Let us bathe in light and explore the darkness. Get acquainted with the masculine and feminine energies that reside within all.

Dance and transform through the energies of these polarities. Using our Spiritual Compass as a transformational tool.

Save the dates:

• 15th March: Feminine

• 19th April: Masculine

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: Briohney a.k.a DJ Lo.tess - @lo.tess

Lo.tess is a DJ, fusion belly dance artist, and yoga facilitator who weaves sound into an embodied art form. Her sets are a deep and visceral journey of shadow and light, power and grace, devotion and expansive energy.

Drawing inspiration from the lotus flower, Lo.tess transforms deep, dark bass into euphoric realms to create a transcendent quality in her sets.

Her multidimensional sound moves creatively between hard-hitting dubstep, trap, global bass, and psy accents and often weaves Eastern rhythms and worldly textures - creating a bold fusion that’s as ancient as it is futuristic.

Her Ecstatic Dance journeys are a potent exploration through multi-layered genres with intentionality to evoke stillness, release and expansion, that takes you beyond the surface rather into a world where music and movement become a portal to divine transcendence through dance expression.

Guest Facilitator: Emina Ashman - @eminaashman

At each Energy In Motion, we’re joined by a guest facilitator, bringing the magic and medicine of their wisdom to support us on our journey of transformation through embodiment. This month, Emina Ashman will be joining us and guiding us to connect with our inner feminine energy.

Emina is a poet, performer, and devotional bodyworker based in Naarm. Her work explores love, beauty, and creativity, offering insights into their transformative nature. She draws inspiration from her relationships, spiritual practice, mermaids, and mysticism. With a deep reverence for the healing power of art, Emina invites others on journeys of reflection, expression, and connection.

Emina’s artistic practice is shaped by her poetry, acting, playwriting, and dance. Her work spans from spoken word features at open-mic nights to co-created performance art pieces at conscious wellbeing events. She collaborates with music producers, theatre-makers, sound healers, and embodiment practitioners both locally and overseas.

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.

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.

Please note there are no refunds for this event. When you book in we ask that you follow through with attending. We of course understand that unforeseen circumstances can occur but PLEASE let us know with as much notice as possible if you won't be joining us. Equal numbers are essential for this event and last minute cancellations are really challenging for us. *No transfers on your ticket.

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:

Subconscious Mind Reprogramming

This journey is designed to support individuals in reprogramming their subconscious minds. Participants are guided through gentle down-regulation breathing, with a short period of activation to prepare the mind and body for deep transformation. The session incorporates various techniques, including subliminal messages, binaural beats to activate alpha and theta brainwave states, and visualizations to help release old limiting patterns and create new, empowering ones. Participants may experience profound relaxation and heightened awareness as they explore and transform the garden of their subconscious minds, planting seeds for a brighter, more fulfilling 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.

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 the experience:

The motivation for this practice arose from the struggle to answer an age-old question;

“What is the purpose of life?”

There are so many beautiful pursuits in life, but we can struggle to concretise what really matters:

• Purpose

• Peace

• Confidence

• Fun

• Health

• Freedom

• Success

• Love

As we obtain one of these things, others can slip. This is where we can integrate 'The Power of the Heart'.

‘The Heart’s Prayer’ is a practice that ties all of the wisdom and understanding of how to leverage the Heart together in one meaningful practice. It can allow us to approach life through a new, more empowered lens.

What to expect:

The Heart’s Prayer is a daily practice that can be quickly and easily integrated into existing lifestyles.

The practice awakens the power of the Heart in the context of all important pursuits of life.

The Heart’s Prayer may help participants to:

• Connect to their vision/purpose

• Activate a deep sense of self-worth

• Support them in times of challenge

• Expand their sense of what’s possible

• Connect them instantly to gratitude

• Deepen their connection to God/Universe

• Clarify what action to take in life

• Awaken courage to navigate fear

• Connect them to presence

• Support their highest fulfillment

How will the night work?

The evening will compromise of 3 components:

1. Learning - learn the theory behind the Heart’s Prayer

2. Practice - do a series of activities to practice the Heart's Prayer

3. Integration - participants will be given a free item and lesson on integrating the Heart's Prayer into their lifestyle

Why is the event free?

Ryan, with the support of Centre of You, has invested his time and money in this event to give back to the community. Ryan believes that by empowering people to connect with their own heart, we can all rise together in our own aligned sovereignty and make the world a better place.

About your facilitator:

Ryan Magic - @theryanmagic

Ryan is an international speaker specialising in courage, purpose and fulfilment. Through difficult childhood circumstances, Ryan grew up extremely shy and battled severe anxiety and depression in his teens. After discovering PD at age 16, he learnt to leverage courage to build a multi-million dollar business in his early 20's. After growing too fast from a place of deep insecurity, Ryan experienced a huge business breakdown that involved large employee-theft and business debt. After rapidly turning the business around, Ryan chose to abruptly shut the business down to go on a deep spiritual journey.

After 5 years of deep healing, meditation and therapy, Ryan became a meditation teacher, breathwork facilitator and founded several healing modalities of his own. Ryan now lives his life dedicated to supporting people to unlock their purpose, power and fulfilment using his proprietary methodology called; 'The COR Method'. The COR Method is a unique way of integrating the spiritual, emotional and practical aspects of the growth industry to support people to live their best life.

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. Chairs are available. A journal is recommended as are any familiar personal items that will aid you in feeling grounded (crystal, teddy, scarf, etc).

Notice of Partial Moment Amateur Photography/Videography: There are many events held at Centre of You where no content is captured. The facilitator of this event however wishes to capture moments of this gathering for future marketing and community-sharing purposes. This will take place via their personal device captured by themselves or a representative. We recognise that being recorded can impact personal comfort and nervous system regulation and we want to honor your preferences. If you do not wish to have your image captured yet still wish to join, know that this is entirely possible at this event. Please speak with us at the door so we can honour your boundaries. If you’d like to review any footage captured at the conclusion of the event, you are most welcome to do so. As the facilitators are capturing moments at this event, you also may do so if the desire arises.

Arrival: Endeavour to arrive between 4:45pm - 5:00pm. To preserve the experience for all involved, doors will close at 5:15pm. 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).

Public transport - train: Both Prahran & Windsor stations along the Sandringham Line will get you walking distance to Centre of You.

Finding Centre of You: Centre of You is nestled within the arcade that Chapel St Bazaar is in (217 Chapel St). It is up a flight of stairs with a wide landing at the half-way-point. Unfortunately, this current version of Centre of You does not have a wheelchair accessible lift. If you could use support in getting up the stairs or would like to discuss ways to make your experience at Centre of You more comfortable, please reach out via hello@centreofyou.com.au or via DM over on Centre of You Instagram.

FREE COMMUNITY EVENT - Secure your spot!

Step into a sacred gathering where the boundaries between self and other gently dissolve, revealing the profound truth of our interconnectedness. Welcome to Human Forest - a spiritually rooted, consensual, non-sexual touch experience that invites you to embody the essence of oneness.

Harmony in Nature:

Harmony is what creates a thriving ecosystem. Every tree, every river, every creature has its place, coexisting in balance. When one element is out of sync, the whole system feels it. Just like the forest, we are designed for harmony- within ourselves, with each other, and with the world around us.

When we move in sync with life, when we honour our own rhythms and respect the boundaries of others, we create a space where everyone can flourish.

Join us for Human Forest: Harmony, an immersive journey of connection, presence, and attunement.

Through non-verbal communication, intentional touch, and deep listening, we’ll explore what it means to move in harmony- finding balance between giving and receiving, stillness and movement, individuality and unity. Come as you are. Step into the forest of belonging.

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?

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, 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.

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.

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 & Moving On

Embark on the "Letting Go & Moving On" 9D Somatic Breathwork journey—an experience meticulously designed to liberate participants from the confines of a self-imposed prison of stagnation and stuckness. Untangle the past and shed the burdens that have stalled progress, paving the way for a future filled with promise and new beginnings. Themes of release, renewal, and progression weave through the journey, driving a transformative shift in the narrative of ones 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 the most unencumbered self. Engage with this practice and step into 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.

If you have a history of seizure disorders, cardiovascular issues, or severe mental health challenges, please consult with a healthcare professional before participating.

Trigger Warning:

The nature of this practice encourages authentic expression, which may manifest as vocalizations, movement, or emotional release.

For those seeking a gentler approach, private sessions are available.

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.

Move, feel, and heal through dance, cacao, and community. Celebrate life while supporting a family in need during a time of deep loss.

Grief and dance may seem like unlikely partners, but in truth, movement is one of the most powerful ways to honor life, process emotions, and reconnect with the aliveness in our bodies—these temporary, miraculous vessels we inhabit.

O’gasmic Cacao Dance is a space to awaken your senses, move freely, and celebrate life through embodied expression. Whether you are navigating loss or simply ready to embrace the full depth of your being, this dance is an invitation to feel, release, and rejoice.

Come as you are. Let cacao open your heart, let the music guide your body, and let's dance in devotion—to life, to love, and to the beautiful impermanence of it all.

This event is also a community offering of love and support. Proceeds will go to dear friend and COY community member Reneé Taylor, who is now raising three sons alone and managing the family business after the sudden passing of her husband, Mark Taylor.

Mark suddenly passed away, leaving his wife, Renee, and their children in shock and devastation. His loss has created an irreplaceable void in their lives, and they now face an unimaginable reality without him.

Funds raised will help provide Renee and the children with some relief and support during this tragic time, allowing them the space to grieve this profound loss.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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

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" journey is for individuals ready to release the weight of deeply ingrained guilt and shame. Created for those who struggle with these powerful emotions—whether rooted in past experiences, relationships, or self-perception—this journey offers a path to healing and liberation. Through immersive breathwork, participants will be guided to explore these feelings, uncover their origins, and begin the process of transformation. This journey is designed to help cultivate self-acceptance, nurture self-compassion, and ultimately find 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.

A unique combination of emotional processing, free flow dance and somatic exercises, this event is designed to help you regulate your nervous system, release stuck emotions and cultivate a sense of relaxation.

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 processing techniques (that we share with you on the evening). It allows us to reconnect with ourselves through our body. All while building our emotional and physical fitness.

Event Inclusions:

• Emotional processing techniques: We start the evening 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 DJ set 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 evening 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 designed to help you drop out of your head and into your body, de-stress, and regulate your nervous system. Leave feeling lighter, freer and ready to go out and live your best life.

A deep dive into embodied storytelling through movement, play, and self-inquiry—designed to unlock your true inner story.

A deeper and more expansive experience of Sejin’s signature 60-minute Embodied Storytelling journey. A journey of honest inquiry and embodied movement where participants can discover their true story.

What to Expext:

Sejin will weave together circling, embodied movement, improvisation, play, deep inquiry, and connective partner exercises to help participants explore and express their deeper selves.

Participants will be invited to challenge what they know, while sharing a laugh, and may leave with a greater sense of unapologetic self-expression.

This is for those ready to break free from self-imposed limitations and step into greater boldness, creativity, and authentic self-expression.

It’s also a great taste test for those considering the 10-week in-person school STORYTELLERS, beginning April 3rd.

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.

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.

A transformative evening of breathwork, deep reflection, and reconnecting with yourself while nourishing your body and soul.

In our fast-paced world, where stress and ‘busyness’ seem to have become the widely accepted ‘normal’, finding moments of peace and inner calm has become more essential than ever.

What to expect:

Through deep rhythmic breathing, participants will embark on a journey of self-exploration, fostering greater understanding, healing and self-compassion. Breathwork allows people to bypass the conscious mind, opening a direct pathway to the subconscious, where inner wisdom resides.

This event will provide a safe, supportive space for participants to nurture themselves and go on a journey of deep self-inquiry. With gentle guidance, they will be encouraged to embrace vulnerability, release defenses, and allow themselves to 'feel'.

Connecting with the core of their being may uncover old memories, evoke a wave of emotions, or simply bring about a blissful state of presence. These moments of reconnection can lead to profound shifts, facilitating emotional healing, overcoming limiting beliefs, and fostering a deeper sense of self-love.

Throughout the session, guided meditations, reflective exercises, and integrative practices will be incorporated to help participants fully process and integrate their experience. Participants may leave feeling lighter, more connected, and empowered to continue their journey of self-discovery and healing.

At the end of the event, there will be some additional time provided to connect with other like-minded people.

About Breathwork:

Breath is a powerful healing modality that supports the release of stress and tension, processes repressed emotions, enhances mental clarity, and helps the mind enter altered states of consciousness.

Breathwork is an experiential, self-healing practice that uses conscious, connected breathing to access expanded states of awareness while simultaneously unlocking repressed emotions and clearing stagnant energy from the mind, body, and spirit. Through a safe, intentional, and skillful increase in oxygen levels, different areas of the brain activate, creating new neural pathways for deeper insights and heightened clarity—while also addressing the sacred root of unresolved emotional imprints.

This work can be profoundly transformative and is best suited for those ready to explore the most intimate spaces within themselves—particularly the emotional and pain body—to reconnect with repressed or fragmented aspects of their being that seek awareness.

The journey of breath is a journey of self-intimacy, unconditional love, deep compassion, and expanded awareness.

About your facilitator: Katharina @seeds.of.prana

Katharina is a certified Sacred Breath Academy breathwork facilitator, a Yogalap breathwork coach and holds certifications in Reiki Level 1+2. Her method is a unique blend of breathwork, intuitive movement practices, sound and guided meditation. By offering and applying the knowledge and teachings that have served her along her own transformational journey, and through creating a safe space for everyone, Katharina helps people improve their physical, mental & emotional well-being.

She has been holding breathwork sessions since 2021 and focuses on a holistic Yin approach to breathwork - with nose-inhales for the activation of the parasympathetic nervous system, a safe space/container that allows permission to surrender and express your emotions fully as they arise, trauma-informed touch, longer breathwork sessions, and more time for integration and savasana.

A few notes directly from Katharina:

How to prepare:

• No prior experience required

• Please don't eat a large or heavy meal within 2 hours of the session. We don't want to do Breathwork on a full belly (a light snack like banana, nuts etc. is great)

• Avoid coffee or other stimulating drinks (Cacao would be okay though)

• Read the CONTRAINDICATIONS below carefully

On the 'work':

The majority of breathers first experience deep (and at times, intense) emotional release or catharsis. It is possible to feel anything from grief/pain/discomfort to ecstasy/joy/bliss and anything in between. Again, these are parts of self that are not being met in waking life (even ecstasy and bliss can be energies that are being unconsciously repressed) and thus want the freedom to be completely and uninhibitedly expressed in a safe container of exploration, as we will create.

However, not everyone is ready for this kind of transformative dive, especially if they are new to inner work and self-awareness. And, as always, we honour where each person is on their path of healing and awakening. That said, *please have a self-check in and make sure you are fully ready for a deep and powerful journey into your being. This also includes a willingness to meet any discomfort, hurt, grief, pain or wounding that you are unknowingly holding onto.

Contraindications

If you are on the contraindication list, you are *not* a candidate for the full breathwork technique, however Katharina will happily discuss modified, gentle breathwork with you for a later date. Please do not continue to book the session if you have any of the contraindications listed below.

You may email Katharina at seedsofprana@gmail.com to discuss a more gentle alternative.

• Pregnancy (at any stage)

• Severe PTSD or trauma

• Actively using recreational drugs

• Taking any medication that alters brain chemistry like anti-anxiety, anti-depressant, ADD, OCD medications, etc.

• Occular Issues: (detached retina/glaucoma)

• Kidney disease

• Unmedicated High Blood Pressure

• Cardiovascular disease (incl. angina, previous heart attack or stroke)

• Aneurysms

• Osteoporosis

• Uncontrolled thyroid conditions

• Diabetes (any type)

• Severe Asthma— for mild to moderate asthma, we can discuss but you must bring your inhaler to the session

• Epilepsy or history of Seizures

• Prior diagnosis of bipolar disorder, schizophrenia or previous psychiatric condition

• Complex PTSD

• Severe psychosomatic disorders

• Recent surgery, stitches or injury

• Hospitalisation for any psychiatric condition or emotional crisis within the last 10 years

• Any other medical, psychiatric or physical conditions which would impair or affect ability to engage in any activities that involve deep physical and/or emotional release

• Adverse reactions from recent C vaccination OR vaccination within the last 6 months

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 ready to sever the chains of inherited struggles and end the cycle of trauma.

Participants may experience profound healing and resilience as they release these burdens. Benefits can include rewriting their narrative, restoring inner harmony, and creating a legacy of empowerment. Break free from the cycle 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

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.

A unique combination of emotional processing, free flow dance and somatic exercises, this event is designed to help you regulate your nervous system, release stuck emotions and cultivate a sense of relaxation.

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 processing techniques (that we share with you on the evening). It allows us to reconnect with ourselves through our body. All while building our emotional and physical fitness.

Event Inclusions:

• Emotional processing techniques: We start the evening 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 DJ set 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 evening 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 designed to help you drop out of your head and into your body, de-stress, and regulate your nervous system. Leave feeling lighter, freer and ready to go out and live your best life.

The heart is the key.

We live in transformational times, where the call to deepen into the medicine of the heart and out of the madness of the head is strongly felt. Over time, the energetic channels of the heart can close due to stressful experiences and heartbreak. The heart wants to protect itself, so its capacity to love unconditionally is compromised, and we build walls around it in the illusion of keeping ourselves safe.

But what if the heart is the key? And what if our capacity to feel and love deeply is a powerful gateway to energetic liberation and collective healing?

It is time to break down these walls, to lean deeper into the sensation of feeling, and to truly alchemize the pain of the past for deeper embodiment and stronger holistic health and well-being.

Join Poppy of SOL & Mike of Onayawellness for a powerful and soul-nourishing event, lovingly woven to guide you on a vibrational journey of radical self-love through the transformative power of Sound Healing, PLANT, and Energy Medicine.

What to Expect:

Sound has been used since the beginning of time to gently shift stagnant energy. During this event, Mike will use a wealth of incredible instruments and healing frequencies to lovingly reconnect and realign energetic networks in and around the body.

Weaving with the energy medicine of Reiki and Seichim, Poppy will visit participants throughout the evening while in rest offering the vibrational medicine of the earth and the stars. These beautiful and gentle light-based healing modalities have been channeled by healers and space holders over eons to support the rebalancing of the self and restore energetic flow through the mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical parts of the self. They are ancient, powerful, and organic, which may leave one feeling lighter, clearer, and more grounded. Energy medicine unifies all parts of ourselves through conscious focus, divine presence, and unconditional love.

A delicious, organic Rose tea will be served during the event to help with grounding into the heart. The Rose is a universal symbol of unconditional and everlasting love, gently working to open and activate the physical and sacred heart.

In attending participants may:

💫 Experience a profound sense of emotional release and renewal.

💫 Awaken their heart to receive and give love more freely.

💫 Heal past wounds, stress, and limiting beliefs.

💫 Deepen connection to the true self and spiritual path.

Who is this for?

💫 Those who desire a deeper connection to themselves and others.

💫 Those who are ready to shift the vibration of their cells into a place of inner alignment and illumination.

💫 Those who are moving through portals of transformation, endings, and new beginnings.

💫 Those who crave heart-based spaces and community.

💫 Those who are ready to deepen into the medicine and wisdom of their own heart.

💫 Those who are ready to claim radical self-love as a tool for individual and collective liberation.

Whether new to energy healing or a seasoned seeker, this sound and energy healing event will offer the space and tools to gently open the heart while sinking deeper into the magic of the body.

Space is limited to honour the energy of this experience. All welcome.

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.

FEBRUARY THEME: DARK

It’s easy to shy away from the dark. From the shadow. From the unknown. But, there are gifts in the darkness.

Without darkness, we cannot have light. One cannot exist without the other.

Just as there is value in the light, there is value to be found in the dark.

Darkness is often misinterpreted as ‘bad’, or associated with fear, evil and maybe even ‘hell’. But when we look at light as energy, as spirit, as a high frequency, we can see darkness as the opposite, as matter, earth and density.

Join us as we journey with darkness. Alchemising the shadow. Exploring and learning the wisdom of density, matter, the human body and the earth. Together let’s find the gifts that the dark holds for us and pierce through any misconceptions.

SPIRITUAL COMPASS

This event is part of our 4-part Spiritual Compass series exploring polarities, which includes the themes light, dark, feminine and masculine.

Life is full of polarities, where we play on a spectrum between the two extremes.

Let us explore each end of the spectrum, some of the core energies that permeate through our existence here on earth. Let us bathe in light and explore the darkness. Get acquainted with the masculine and feminine energies that reside within all.

Dance and transform through the energies of these polarities. Using our Spiritual Compass as a transformational tool.

Save the dates:

• 15th February: Dark

• 15th March: Feminine

• 19th April: Masculine

You can join the remainder of the series and grab a 3-event pass at the special price of $97 (plus booking fees) at checkout.

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.
