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

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).
Personal responsibility: Please make an assessment on whether you are feeling stable and resourced enough to explore the practices on offer in this event.
Arrival: Endeavour to arrive between 1:45pm - 2:00pm. To preserve the experience for all involved, doors will close at 2:15pm. 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: Centre of You is located upon Chapel Street and while you may get lucky with an untimed spot, particularly on a Sunday (try High Street) predominantly 1 and 2 hour parking is available (unmetered from 5pm). So you can fully settle into the practice, we suggest you avoid the need to move your car or risk a fine and park at the CARe multilevel carpark (8-14 King Street Prahran), a 140-metre walk from COY. 3 hours parking will be charged at $6.90.
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.
Accessibility: At COY we aim to ensure our community and events are inclusive and accessible while alongside upholding the needs and responsibilities of our business and the businesses of our collaborating facilitators. Should you be in a time of financial challenge and unable to pay the full ticket price comfortably, please reach out to grace@centreofyou.com.au
Ticketing T&Cs: We get it, life happens, therefore we will gladly refund you up until 24hrs before the event start time. After that, we have a strict no refund/no transfer to future events policy.
If you are no longer able to attend and wish to pay forward your ticket to someone within the community, be in touch via grace@centreofyou.com.au or via DM over on Centre of You Instagram.
