About this Event

Feel like deepening your understanding of kirtan and mantra music?

Would you like to get more involved in actually playing kirtan?

Or are you someone who would just love to spend a day soaking up the kirtan vibes?

This kirtan immersion workshop is just what you've been looking for!

Musical experience is not required, but if you play please bring along your instrument.


This will be a whole day of singing together, sharing ideas and connecting with our lovely kirtan community.


What to expect:

Sun Hyland will be facilitating, with special guest facilitators Bonny Howarth and apprentice teacher Grace Elizabeth. Sun brings many years of teaching and kirtan experience to take you deep on an immersive kirtan journey.


Delicious and nutritious lunch and snacks will be provided by Sun's kitchen. Plant based, GF and abundant- a real treat!


This will be an intimate affair, limited to just 12 dedicated participants and 5 crew. We're keeping it small so that each person will get focused attention, but just big enough to create some real kirtan vibes.


The day will unfold with a mixture of groupwork, movement and discussion, with LOTS of kirtan. Those of you who have been developing your own kirtan skills will have an opportunity to work with other musicians as part of a band, potentially lead the group and also receive valuable and respectful feedback.


The past Immersion Days have all been a beautiful unfolding of creativity and connection, with many people coming back multiple times. The evolution we can achieve in one day working together is quite incredible!

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. 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 9:15am - 9:30am. To preserve the experience for all involved, doors will close at 9:45am. 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: Centre of You is located upon Chapel Street and while you may get lucky with an untimed spot, particularly on a Sunday (try High Street) predominantly 1 and 2 hour parking is available. So you can fully settle into the practice, we suggest you avoid the need to move your car or risk a fine and park at one of the paid parking options. CARe multilevel carpark (8-14 King Street Prahran), a 140-metre walk from COY will cost $16.00 to cover the timings of this event. Alternatively, weekend early bird (in before 10am, out after 3pm) parking at CARe Park Prahran Square, 30-40 Izett St, Prahran (Coles/Safeway), a 500m walk from COY, will come in at a flat rate of $12.00.

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.

Accessibility: At COY we aim to ensure our community and events are inclusive and accessible while alongside upholding the needs and responsibilities of our business and the businesses of our collaborating facilitators. Should you be in a time of financial challenge and unable to pay the full ticket price comfortably, please reach out to [email protected]

Ticketing T&Cs: We get it, life happens, therefore we will gladly refund you up until 24hrs before the event start time. After that, we have a strict no refund/no transfer to future events policy.

If you are no longer able to attend and wish to pay forward your ticket to someone within the community, be in touch via [email protected] or via DM over on Centre of You Instagram.
