About the experience:
Witness Tea Ceremony where Jasmine will channel plant + spirit guides to hold space for you in a deep Compassion Meditation immersion. Come away with new somatic awareness and heart-based therapy tools to ‘ReMother the Inner Child’ within. This is a powerfully gentle shadow integration featuring a 3-part meditation attunement where you will learn techniques on how to hold and be held, as the Divine Mother and the Inner Child.
Where Zen Awareness practice meets the energy medicine of Tea, Jasmine will weave traditional Vipassana with modern trauma-sensitive somatic regulation tools, Buddhist philosophy + energy metaphysics, and vibrational plant medicine wisdom to create a potent transformational space for you to uncover, nurture and self-heal your inner child’s wounds.
What to expect:
✴ Wisdom Teachings
Unpack ‘The Mother Wound’ and the chronic impact of not experiencing adequate emotional regulation + support during the formative years of your childhood. Hear how generational trauma manifests as energetic blocks in the body’s cellular memory, nervous system dysregulation and limiting karmic cycles. Learn the importance of Somatic Resourcing and trauma-sensitivity when preparing to work through gentle shadow integration. Experience how these emotional regulation + somatic integration meditation tools help us to transform past wounding patterns and access liberating wholeness.
✴ Tea Medicine Ceremony
Join in Heart Resonance meditation, as Jasmine serves you carefully selected herbal teas, flower essences and channeled plant spirit messages to open the space and attune you to the vibration of the Divine Mother. These energies create the foundational safe space necessary for the vulnerabilities of your Inner Child’s unmet needs to come to light and be explored further in group circle.
✴ Uncovering the Inner Child
Experience Zen-in-action with guided Vipassana Meditation to establish a relationship with your inner child, identify how in the body your inner child manifests, learn right relationship to this smaller, sticky, messy, scary, hurt place and receive clarity on what type of love it is seeking from you.

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. Chairs are available. 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 11:45am - 12:00pm. To preserve the experience for all involved, doors will close at 12:15pm. 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, (try High Street) predominantly 1 and 2 hour parking is available (unmetered from 5pm).

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.
