About this Event

At Centre of You, we’re committed to the consistent offering of Kirtan - a space to ground and connect through ceremony and devotional chanting in community.


Partnering with the spirit of cacao:


In the creation of a nurturing ceremonial space, Grace Elizabeth of Centre of You will begin the evening with a heartfelt offer of the heart-opening medicine of ceremonial cacao. Inviting the spirit of cacao into our being and dropping into a state of pensive reflection will help enable the heart’s messages to become amplified from the stillness within throughout the remainder of the evening.


Please advise if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, on heart Medic*tion and/or anti-depressants so we can adjust your dosage and check-in with you.


Kirtan:


Be then led by our musicians for the evening, Jessica Lyons, Paul Watt, Bonny Howarth and Paul Stevens with the harmonious sounds of voice, harmonium, guitar, tabla and melodica, facilitating the experience of the spiritually uplifting, repetitive, devotional tones and tunes of the yogic practice of kirtan: mantra and music.


Kirtan, or call and response devotional chanting, is a meditative practice to move you into the heart space. It can, most particularly when partnered with ceremonial cacao, act as a tool to turn your awareness inwards, honouring all that arises with self-compassion and acceptance.


It is our intrinsic birthright to gather in community and sing. No experience needed. Come as you are.


Things to note:


Please arrive by 6:15pm to allow spaciousness to visit the bathroom and create your nest. There are plenty of bolsters, blankets and cushions to get cosy with though feel free to bring your own for a felt sense of additional familiarity and groundedness.


Upon leaving home, ask the parking fairy for a Chapel St spot and believe one will be available for you! Spots are unmetered from 6pm. Alternatively park in Anchor Place - the side street which runs opposite the arcade Centre of You is in.


Should you be in a transient time of financial need and unable to pay the ticket price comfortably please reach out via [email protected] or via DM over on Centre of You Instagram. We will together find a way for your heart to receive this beautiful practice.
