New Year's Day Manifestation Workshop - Cacao, Vision Board, Dreaming BIG.

Eagerly step into 2025 with an expansive day of ritual and creation in this intentionally carved-out space for envisioning. Set yourself up for success by defining and declaring that 2025 is the year that you leap boldly and courageously into living a heart-led life by design and Let Your Dream Life Appear.

Our dreams are immeasurably powerful and have not dropped into our awareness by accident. They have done so seeking to be claimed and realised.

About the experience:

Each and every new year offers us the opportunity of recalibration, reset and realignment. Prioritising time and space for presence with your desires early in any new year cycle is a demonstrative act of self-love.

Cacao ceremony, activating meditation, drumming & future-self journaling practice:

Before defining and declaring our dream life, we first listen to its uninhibited calling from our innermost essence. Cacao is a heart-opening medicine and acts as an aid in amplifying the whispers of our heart.

We will delve inwards to check-in with the path we're currently traversing. Are we travelling in the passenger seat, governed by external drivers or are we navigating life in alignment with our truest authenticity? We will explore our inner landscape with compassion and have revealed to us whether we continue as we are or whether we need to reclaim the wheel of our becoming and recalibrate, realign and readjust. Knowledge is power!

We will connect in with our future-self through a journalling practice where we intentionally make ourselves available as a vessel to receive through us words, ideas, guidance, messages and inspiration. The objective here being to reveal what life looks and feels like when lived on our terms and in our highest alignment so we can take conscious and willing action steps towards its realisation.

“But inspiration is still sitting there right beside me, and it is trying. Inspiration is trying to send me messages in every form it can—through dreams, through portents, through clues, through coincidences, through déjà vu, through kismet, through surprising waves of attraction and reaction, through the chills that run up my arms, through the hair that stands up on the back of my neck, through the pleasure of something new and surprising, through stubborn ideas that keep me awake all night long . . . whatever works. Inspiration is always trying to work with me.”

- Elizabeth Gilbert, Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear

Alchemising in our vision board:

We will create. Slowly. Intentionally. Introspectively. There is no rush. Our vision board will take shape and become a take-home tangible representation of our envisioning ritual to be placed somewhere frequently visible. The imagery alchemised upon it will aid in accessing through our sense of sight, a cue to anchor us into experiencing the feeling tone of what we are calling in prior to its actual manifestation.

Speaking our vision into existence:

We will share. We will speak our vision, hear it through the sense of sound, be witnessed in the spelling out of it as we send it as our order to the universe. We will demonstrate to the universe our commitment and availability to receive our dream life by defining inspired action steps we will take in moving us towards it with universal support.

"It's your work to dream it and let it happen." - Abraham Hicks

About your facilitator:

Grace Elizabeth is the lion-hearted visionary, founder, director and leader of Centre of You, her greatest intentional manifestation and legacy in the making. Centre of You is a multi-modality centre for inner-exploration, self-understanding and empowerment amongst kindred community. Modalities and events on offer include shamanic breathwork, sound healings, kirtan and cacao ceremonies, ecstatic dance, workshops, immersions, circles and conscious speed dating. Grace has a particular passion in empowering hearts to reclaim and ignite their intrinsic co-creational power as mistress/master of their own destiny.

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).

Personal responsibility: P lease make an assessment on whether you are feeling stable and resourced enough to explore the practices on offer in this event.

Arrival: Endeavour to arrive between 1:45pm - 2:00pm. To preserve the experience for all involved, doors will close at 2:15pm. 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. As this event is running on a public holiday some Chapel St spots (those with a day of the week detailed upon it) become untimed. We recommend jumping into Anchor Place, the open-air parking lot in the side street that runs opposite Centre of You which will be unmetered for NYD.

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.
