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.

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, light movement and sitting 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.
Arrival: Doors open at 6:15pm, for a 6.30pm start. Endeavour to arrive at 6:15pm to allow time to visit the bathroom and settle in. 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.
