Welcome, Sisters, to your sacred sanctuary - an invitation to Anchor, Align, and Arise in the full spectrum of your divine essence.
Here, within these hallowed walls, the Sacred Feminine Arts are not just revealed but passionately ignited. Engage with your innermost power as we unveil and activate your divine empowerment codes through the potent practices of somatic awareness, movement meditation, devotional dance, and ceremonial rituals.
Cultivate a harmonious relationship with your temple body through sensory awareness, breath, intuitive movement, vocal expression, and prayer. Immerse yourself in the embrace of sisterhood where safety and support create a fertile ground for transformative growth.
Experience the enchantment that blooms when intention, ritual, and embodied practices converge to reveal our deepest truths. This sanctuary is for women ready to shift gears, invigorate their energy bodies, and reawaken their creative fire, fostering profound shifts through the many layers of being.
Join us Sunday 1st September to celebrate the first day of Spring in sisterhood and celebration in all the wild wisdom of the feminine. Here, a strong sacred space will hold you as we explore the unseen, traverse the personal and collective psyche, and surrender to the fires of transformation.
Together, we’ll journey through the sacred tools of:

Art Mandala
Be prepared to claim your sacred power and navigate your path back to the heart in the company of empowered Sisters.

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 and an eye mask is recommended as are any familiar personal items that will aid you in feeling grounded (crystal, teddy, scarf, etc).
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. 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.
