About the experience:
Vivid Voices is an invitation to express with the voice and to play within a playground of intentional improvisation.
Through this singing vocal jam lies an opportunity for a felt experience of connectivity, imagination and expression through the lens of taking time in presence with your inner world.
Bring an open heart, open mind and a willingness to listen deeply within and around so that you can give voice to your unique sound seeking expression.
What to expect:
An awakening of the senses and a remembrance of your enraptured essence via:
- Breathing -
- Sounding -
- Deep Listening -
- Play -
- Imagination -
We become present in the here and now. We tone. We allow our voice to wash over our body and land us upon regulated, grounded, calm. From that place, we explore. We sing, inspired by feelings in place of words. We trust. We marinate in the vibrational magic that we co-create.
You most definitely need not be a 'singer' or a 'musician' to join in on this magic... just a human with a heart, voice and breath.
About your facilitator:
Lala Witika will offer simple and sacred invitations for you as an individual and also the collective.
Providing guidance to come back to one's vibrational weaves is something Lala has been holding dear for many seasons in countless ways through voice - body - creativity and expression. She will hold the playground ritual open as you courageously reconnect to your deep knowing.
This is an invitation to come back to remembrance sitting with yourself and voice.
Things to note:
Centre of You has plenty of bolsters, blankets, and cushions for you to get cosy with. 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.

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.
