This workshop brings you the multisensory delights of cacao, astrology and kundalini, taking place at the Pisces new moon: a potent portal for manifestation. This is the moment in the lunar cycle to reimagine your future and plant the seeds for the life of your dreams.
What to expect:
The event will open with Toni-Marie Aston, founder of Grounded Cup, sharing cacao in a potent ceremony that will support you to open your heart, connect to this magic moment, and journey with the spirit of cacao.
With ceremonial cacao elevating your presence, you will be guided through a deep and transformative Kundalini yoga and meditation practice by Alison Lasek, Astrologer and Kundalini Yoga Teacher. Alison will seamlessly weave astrological insights and spiritual wisdom throughout the workshop, supporting you to make the most of the energy of the new moon, to feel into your vision, to embody the energy of success and to plant seeds for a bright and abundant tomorrow.

Things to note:

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 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.

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.
