Calling all seekers of embodied wisdom!
Are you ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and exploration through the living vessel of your body?
Join me for a Sensual Embodied Dance journey focused on uncovering the rich tapestry of sensations, emotions, and energies alive within you.
Sensual Embodied Dance® is a methodology for cultivating an intimate relationship with your body and the aliveness that is continually flowing through it. It was created by Holly Wodetzki. During this in-person experience, we'll be using embodied dance and movement practices that are designed specifically to unwind tension patterns in the body, generate flow, and awaken pleasure, to create the fertile conditions for a profound connection to yourself and your body to naturally arise.
ALL humans welcome <3
What to expect:
1 - FLUID WARM UP to calm the mind and become attentive to your body’s sensations and present moment experience.
2 - GUIDED SENSUAL MOVEMENT sequences to open your body to new ways of moving, unwind tension patterns or numbness, and sensitise to pleasure moving through you.
3 - GROUP EMBODIMENT EXERCISES to explore your ability to 'get out of your own way' and have meaningful human connections.
4 - RELATIONAL PRACTICE to experience embodying fundamental polarities within yourself and to cultivate your ability to switch skilfully between modes of being in relationship with others.
5 - A SPONTANEOUS MOVEMENT set to become available to experience a life-affirming, deeply nourishing, meaningful dissolution of self-consciousness, and enter a peak flow state that reveals your inherent interconnection with life.
6 - INTEGRATION PROCESS to become aware of and somatically integrate your peak experiences as something more easily accessible in everyday life.

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).
Arrival: Endeavour to arrive between 6:15pm - 6:30pm. To preserve the experience for all involved, doors will close at 6:45pm. 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.
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.
