Deep in the belly of your soul, there is a stirring. A growl, a hiss, a howl, a roar. Have you forgotten your wild nature? The power of the animal kingdom lives inside you, waiting to be unleashed.
About the experience:
Sometimes our human selves can get lost, caught up in our problems. It takes a different perspective to shake us up and remember what life is really all about. Join us for a mystical journey into your subconscious, where the answers to your challenges will reveal themselves through the wisdom of the natural world.
What to expect:
We will start the evening with a heart opening Cacao circle enjoying the finest quality ceremonial grade organic Cacao from the Maya people of Guatemala. Music and movement will help us drop deeper into the experience and open us up to receiving any messages. We'll then embark upon an inner journey of breath, drumming and visualisation to meet and build a relationship with a spirit animal guide. This can be the start of an intensely nourishing relationship that can span a lifetime, or it can simply be what’s needed to get you through wherever you’re traversing in this moment.
About your facilitator: Patty - @pattymac.truth
Fresh from the jungles of Peru and Guatemala, Patty is excited to help humans live their best lives, in harmony with nature. After years in the corporate arena as an entrepreneur, accountant and executive, he began to wake up to the reality that life can be so much more than we are told. Through a spiritual journey that's unfolded over more than a decade, and has led to him living in 7 different countries, Patty has explored the far reaches of our human experience. Profound experiences with plant medicine, 10-day silent meditation, tantra, cold water immersion, breathwork and philosophical study, have helped him cultivate a deep curiosity for how to optimise our lives, alongside an ever-growing sense of faith and gratitude for the magic of life all around us.
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. 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 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.
