The extraordinary restorative benefits of sound bathing are now widely accepted as self-evident, and a proliferation of sound healing facilitators have emerged in recent years to create sacred sound containers that induce states of profound calm, comfort and upliftment to a human collective largely out of balance and in need of more stability and healing. The ancients understood this concept and utilised music as a form of medicine in many cultures, and the resurgence of interest in it in these modern times is cause for celebration, and participation.
The latest instalment in the long-running "An Evening of Celestial Healing Sounds" series is set to occur just before the Autumn equinox on March 20th. At the time of the Autumn equinox, we honour the balance and interaction of the light and the dark, which is reflected in the equal lengths of day and night. This is a meaningful time of year to make "breathing space”, feel our internal rhythms and be in gratitude for the “harvest” from our gardens, and the efforts and intentions for our life paths that we set earlier in the year. It’s a time to make room for new visions to grow, composting our old ideas and using the energy they hold to make fertile soil for new creativity and matured visions.
During the weeks around equinoxes, researchers have also known that fissures form in Earth’s magnetosphere. Solar winds pour through the gaps to fuel bright displays of Arctic lights. These influxes of solar light and intelligence subtly influence our own bio-energetic fields, our DNA and our consciousness. This is a call to all those wishing to prepare for a deeper equinox passage, when potentials for healing on all levels are amplified, and by gathering together, to be in service to humanity as stewards for the realm-shifting cosmic forces equinoxes usher in.
What to expect:
These gatherings are more nuanced than typical sound baths. Participants are gently and lovingly guided with spoken word and sound into deeper sensing states that support enhanced inner connection, tranquility, higher realm experiences and physical healing, in a ceremonial setting with other like-hearted souls. This revitalises one to be more receptive to positive change, and embody those changes with ease in the days, weeks and months afterwards. Your body and being will be enveloped by the soothing, harmonising crystal tones from pure quartz and alchemy singing bowls, crystal pyramid, chimes, bells, medicine drum, Om Wand, celestial sounds and voice.
Individual attention will be offered during the event(with permission), including gentle use of sound instruments played close to your body and gentle massage provided by the fabulous Penelope from Lady Fox and Bryce Summers. Essential oil aromas, gem essences and other sensual treats are brought into the space to enhance your evening. Penelope will also be offering an Andean prayer at the conclusion of our ceremony.
The room is thickly carpeted, spacious and heated/cooled. Your “bed” consisting of yoga mat, bolster and warm blanket will be set up for you so you can travel light.
A light supper will be provided after the event, and is always delicious and grounding if you’d like to stay afterwards. Many great friendships have sprung up out of these events. Meet and/or reconnect with soul family!
Please bring:
Water - sound frequencies are more easily conducted through your body if you are hydrated before and after
An eye mask or eye pillow, warm socks and any other items that will enhance your comfort.
A plate or beverage to share if you’d like to stay for supper
An open heart, and your mastery in holding unity consciousness

Testimonial
"Truly, I have not been 'held' like that in a healing space ever before. Liz's skillful combination of modalities, the essential oils, sounds, epic tools, her light language and most notably her amazing presence were masterful in creating a safe space within which I was able to show up fully open, ready and willing to unravel on all levels and release deep trauma. The seamless synthesis of Liz's nurturing warrior energy and her strong intuition helped guide our session into places of my psyche and lightbody which previously had been left unexplored. So profound. It got pretty raw and she held me the whole way, like never before! I feel honoured and blessed to have experienced such clarity with Liz's feedback and what she was able to pick up on. Suppressed past events, entities, soul contracts, emotional blocks and more. We did it all. After our session, I was graced with a resounding, all-encompassing sense of connection with my "Is-ness". A deeper knowing and remembrance of that which I am. Love. Thank you dear Liz, for holding space for me as you did. I am forever grateful and I look forward to our next healing adventure together 🙏💫"

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. A journal is recommended as are any familiar personal items that will aid you in feeling grounded (crystal, teddy, scarf, etc).
Arrival: Endeavour to arrive between 5:45pm - 6:00pm. To preserve the experience for all involved, doors will close at 6:15pm. 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 grace@centreofyou.com.au or via DM over on Centre of You Instagram.
