An Hour of Sound with Solana the Artist.

Solana The Artist invites you to ground your Monday out over one hour of mellow soundscapes and poetic notions to ponder on.

About the experience:

This is an offering in which you come as you are at the end of your day and simply bathe in the soothing tones of Solana’s ethereal voice and various instruments, allowing any stress accumulated throughout your day to melt away. There is nothing for you to do, just be held in the experience of sound.

About your facilitator:

Solana the Artist is a Vocal Alchemist, Musician & Ceremonialist.

Through the universal language of sound and her own unique expression of it, Solana invokes a range of raw emotions that inspire a softening into an elevated state of consciousness, allowing her audience to access ancient memories that are embedded in the body and soul as they immerse in her ethereal song.

Solana's intuitively weaved creations are a blend of ancient Middle Eastern inspired calls, primal/often non-linguistic vocal expressions, and world instruments.

While having shared her incomparable sound since 2014 in various settings all over the world, Solana also inspires and empowers people to re-ignite their own natural voice. Solana often weaves this reclamation of voice into her ceremonial offerings, performances & concerts as she is very passionate about the powers and potential that our voices hold. Solana wholeheartedly believes that our voices liberated and united can have a massive impact on changing the vibration of this world.

Things to note:

Centre of You has plenty of bolsters, blankets, and cushions for you to get cosy with. We recommend wearing comfortable, lose clothes to enable deep breathing and sitting/laying upon the floor with ease. Chairs are available. An eyemask and 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 6:45pm - 7:00pm. To preserve the experience for all involved, doors will close at 7:15pm. 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 [email protected] or via DM over on Centre of You Instagram.
