About the experience:
Humans are hardwired for connection, and as a result our relationships are one of the most important aspects of our lives. In order for our relationships to flourish they require energy and care, especially our romantic ones.
However, we are often not taught the tools of how to relate, communicate, have vulnerable conversations and expand when we feel contraction. This can often lead to things being unsaid, a withholding of authenticity, a build up of resentment and hardening over time.
Clear Hearts is a workshop designed to give you the tools and space to deepen the connection between you and your partner.
This workshop is for you if:
• You're curious about the nervous system.
• You have a desire to understand your partner deeper.
• You're interested in learning tools to healthily co-regulate.
• You want to get clear on what you both value as individuals and in partnership.
Romantic couples/partners of any age and any gender are welcome!
What to expect:
• Time for play and connection with your partner.
• Time and space to reflect on your relationship.
• Co-regulation, nervous system, and polyvagal theory teachings.
• Tools and framework to help you have clearing and vulnerable conversations.
• Time and space to embody these tools.
• Integrative sound bath and couples meditation journey.
• Exercise to help discover your relationship values (+ special creative activity).
• Time and space to share, connect with other couples and eat some yummy food (including fruit and cacao).
What to bring:
• Journal and pen
• Drink bottle (we need to be hydrated!)
• Anything else that makes you feel comfortable
• A printed photo of you both together
Now, this one is super important! The photo can be one that is special to you both, one that captured a beautiful moment or maybe one that you both just love!! This is for a really special part of the event that we are super excited to share with you.
*Please Note: Jade & Kyle's intention is to provide you with the space and tools to deepen in understanding and connection with your partner.

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). You are welcome to bring your own pillow if you prefer, and your water bottle.
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 9:45am - 10:00am. To preserve the experience for all involved, doors will close at 10:15am. 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. 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 one of the paid parking options. CARe multilevel carpark (8-14 King Street Prahran), a 140-metre walk from COY will cost $15.40 to cover the timings of this event. Alternatively, weekend early bird (in before 10am, out after 3pm) parking at CARe Park Prahran Square, 30-40 Izett St, Prahran (Coles/Safeway), a 500m walk from COY, will come in at a flat rate of $11.10.
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.
