Kara Towner creator of Sensory Alchemy - @djmisskara
It’s quite an interesting path that Kara has taken to end up being in sound healing and music as a DJ, Vocalist and Songwriter. 15 years as a singer and 6 years of those training at the Sita
School of Multi Arts, Kara has spent the last 5 years honing her vocal sounds into her shamanic sound journey offerings across Australia's eastern coast. Her interest in health and healing began in high school which led her to complete a Bachelor of Applied Science Health
Promotion at Deakin University. She’s played a number of musical instruments since a young age and now adds an array of sacred sound healing instruments to her bow. Kara now lives and performs across Melbourne and travels often to the Gold Coast and surrounding areas for sound healing and DJ gigs.
“It’s such a blessing to have all the pieces of the puzzle fall into place, to be on purpose and be doing this work with and for you all” - Kara.
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.
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).
Arrival: Endeavour to arrive between 6:45pm - 7:00pm. To preserve the experience for all involved, doors close at 7:00pm sharp. 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.
