Join us at Destination Happiness for a deeply immersive 90 minute Soundshower with multi instrumentalist, producer and sound therapist Avishai Barnatan.

You’ll be invited to lie down, become comfortable and allow yourself to be surrounded by the sounds and vibrations of Tibetan bowls, chimes, flutes, vocal harmonics and other special instruments.

Throughout the Soundshower, Avishai moves around the room, creating an evolving musical journey. Some instruments may also be gently placed on the body, allowing you to experience their vibrations more directly.

This is an opportunity to step away from the noise of everyday life, release built up tension and enter a deeply relaxed, refreshed and connected state.

Avishai has explored the therapeutic qualities of sound since 1990, developing his own approach inspired by modern research, ancient wisdom and decades of experience. He has facilitated Soundshowers at events including Wanderlust, Byron Spirit Festival, Evolve Yoga Festival, Jerusalem Sacred Music Festival and Uplift Festival.

No previous sound healing or meditation experience is needed. Simply arrive, lie back and allow the sound to meet you.

The Reset — 21 Days to Calm & Clarity is a live-supported online course designed for anyone feeling stressed, overwhelmed or running on empty. Through simple daily practices, guided relaxation and live support, you’ll build practical nervous system regulation tools to help you feel calmer, sleep better and manage stress — skills you can continue using for life.

5Directions (Geelong)

“If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.”  Lao Tzu

This way.  That way.  Another way.

Modern life.  It’s humbling, when so often, so many of us, fortunate, privileged humans find we have so much choice and yet can become paralysed.

Life gets pretty mental at times.  That’s one reason why I do the dance practice called 5Rhythms®.  To get out of my head.

5Rhythms founder Gabrielle Roth called the overwhelmed mind ‘the chat room’ and I know I’m not the only one who can fall for the trap of hanging out in this uncomfortable, disconnected place.

In the dance, we trust our body to lead the way because it’s hard to make clear choices when we are heady, cluttered and ungrounded.  Dancing Waves helps the nervous system to settle so we can tap into a whole body experience of listening for what we need.  Clear direction can start to emerge.

This workshop will explore 5 directions within the 5Rhythms map.  5 simple, physical, invigorating approaches to expanding our movement repertoire and enhancing our experience on the dance floor, and hopefully, in life.

EveryBody is welcome.  Let’s dance and take this in as many directions as possible.

5Rhythms Workshop Welcome Dance (Geelong)

This Saturday 5Rhythms Dance Night is both introduction to the practice for newcomers, and a welcome warm up dance before the Sunday workshop 5Directions.

One of the principles of 5Rhythms, is to trust our body to lead the way because it’s hard to make clear choices when we are heady, cluttered and ungrounded.  Dancing a 5Rhythms Wave helps the nervous system to settle, so we can tap into a whole body experience of listening for what we need.  Our intention for the evening (and the weekend) is to listen to the body, trusting that clear direction can start to emerge.

So if you are curious to learn what this practice is all about, come along?   If you love dancing, come and expand your listening and moving repertoire.  If you are one of the thousands of people around the world who have made 5Rhythms or conscious dance their practice, come dance with me.  If the idea of dancing with strangers terrifies you, trust me to create a kind and welcoming space for you.

EveryBody is welcome.  Let’s dance, learn and grow together.

Shannon Patching Returns by Popular Demand

Hosted by Angie Hilton

After a sold-out evening filled with connection, insight and heartfelt moments, gifted soul medium Shannon Patching returns to Destination Happiness by popular demand.

If you've ever wondered whether the signs you've been noticing are more than coincidence, this special evening invites you to explore the possibility.

Join host Angie Hilton for an intimate conversation with Shannon as she shares her unique gift.

Together, they'll explore questions many of us quietly carry:

• Can our loved ones continue to communicate with us after they pass?

• Are we being guided through signs and synchronicities?

• Does everyone possess intuition and untapped psychic potential?

The evening begins with a gentle grounding meditation to help you slow down, settle in and become fully present before Angie sits down with Shannon for a candid Q & A

Shannon will then open the room for live audience readings, sharing messages and connections that come through in a format similar to the style made famous by John Edward.

Whether you're seeking comfort, curious about the unseen, exploring your own intuition, or simply open to new possibilities, this promises to be a thought-provoking and deeply moving experience.

Afterwards, guests are invited to stay for a cup of tea, meaningful conversation and connection with like-minded souls.

Seats are strictly limited and previous events have sold quickly. Early booking is recommended.

Or join us online via zoom link.

Curious about the beautiful calming sound of the handpan?

Join Alice for a rare and intimate 1.5-hour beginner-friendly Handpan Workshop designed for just 5 people. This small group experience gives you the opportunity to gently learn the foundations of this deeply soothing instrument in a relaxed and supportive environment.

Often described as one of the most soul-soothing instruments in the world, the handpan creates soft, flowing sounds that instantly calm the nervous system and bring you into the present moment.

You’ll explore simple rhythms, intuitive playing techniques, mindfulness through music, and the joy of creating sound without pressure or perfection.

No musical experience needed. Just come as you are and allow yourself to slow down, play, and reconnect through sound.

This is not just breathwork. This is a profound immersive journey.

Facilitated by Max Rooke at Destination Happiness Studio, this powerful 67-minute 9DMT experience combines conscious connected breathing, ancient shamanic wisdom and cutting-edge 9D sound technology to guide you into an expanded state of awareness—without the use of any substances.

Within the safety of our fully immersive studio environment, you'll be invited to journey beyond the thinking mind, confront limiting beliefs, reconnect with forgotten parts of yourself, release stored emotional tension and access deeper levels of clarity, healing and self-understanding.

Using a carefully crafted blend of breath, sound and storytelling, 9DMT has been designed to replicate the depth, insight and transformational qualities often associated with psychedelic experiences—using only the power of your own breath.

This is an opportunity to let go of what no longer serves you, reconnect with your authentic self and emerge with a renewed sense of purpose, freedom and possibility.

No experience is necessary. Simply arrive with an open mind and a willingness to explore what lies within.

Sound Breathing is an ancient vocal practice that works directly on the subtle body — the luminous energy field that surrounds and protects your physical form.

In this special workshop with Linda Newman from Radiant Soul Yoga, you’ll be guided through a deeply restorative practice rooted in traditional yogic lineage rather than modern wellness trends. Each of the six sacred sounds is connected to a specific region of the body, chakra centre and classical colour, helping to restore balance to the colour aura, calm the nervous system and strengthen the voice from within.

Through guided Sound Breathing rounds, gentle preparatory movement, teaching on the traditional chakra system, and an extended savasana integration, participants are invited into an experience that is both grounding and quietly transformative.

This is not simply a workshop to learn about chakras. It is an immersive transmission designed to help you reconnect with a deeper energetic intelligence that many practitioners feel has been missing from contemporary practice.

Suitable for yoga practitioners, teachers, spiritually curious seekers, and anyone drawn to authentic traditional teachings.

Led by Linda Newman — a yoga teacher of more than 40 years, trained under Sri Dharma Mittra and AG Mohan.

What if the signs you’ve been noticing aren’t just coincidence?

Join gifted soul medium Shannon Patching for an intimate evening of conversation, connection and possibility.

In this special live experience, host Angie Hilton sits down with Shannon to explore the extraordinary story behind her psychic abilities and how they unexpectedly emerged through personal tragedy and deep loss.

Together, they’ll unpack questions many of us quietly wonder about…

Can our loved ones still communicate with us?

Are there signs we’re being guided?

Do intuition and psychic ability live within all of us?

The evening begins with a short grounding meditation to help you settle, slow down and arrive fully into the space before Angie interviews Shannon about her journey, her experiences, and the moments that changed her life forever.

The second half of the evening opens into a live audience reading session in the style of John Edward, where Shannon connects with members of the audience and shares messages that come through.

Whether you’re deeply spiritual, simply curious, or navigating grief, this is a warm, open-hearted evening designed to leave you reflecting on life, connection and the unseen threads that may link us all.

After the session, guests are invited to stay for tea, connection and conversation.

Limited tickets available due to the intimate nature of the evening.

SOLUNA 
Live Music • Breathwork • Yoga • Meditation

Soluna is a 2-hour immersive journey guided by two deeply talented facilitators, weaving live music, breath, movement and stillness into one continuous, nourishing experience.

The name Soluna speaks to the dance between the sun and the moon — masculine and feminine, activation and surrender — an invitation into divine harmony within ourselves.

Held entirely by live music, this journey begins with a gentle, grounding drop-in. You’ll be guided through slow, deep breathwork and meditation, inviting introspection and presence as the nervous system softens and settles.

From here, the energy slowly begins to rise. The music subtly elevates as we move into a slow flow, building a mild, steady fire in the body — not rushed, not forceful, but awakening vitality and inner strength. Breath and movement work together to circulate energy, creating a sense of expansion and aliveness.

As the arc of the practice completes, we descend once more into deep stillness. The pace slows, transitioning into yin yoga, supported by a crystal bowl sound bath and guided meditation. This final phase invites profound release, rest and integration, eventually drifting into complete silence — a spacious pause to simply be and absorb. 

Soluna is a space to experience the layers of practice:
– the slow, introspective depths of yin, meditation and breath
– the subtle power of building energy through mindful flow
– the medicine of live sound holding it all together

We are hoping for you to leave feeling deeply held, nourished, and re-harmonised — with generous space in the rest of your day to honour and integrate the vibrations created during the journey.

📍 Destination Happiness
🗓 Saturday 21st March
⏰ 3:00–5:00pm Please arrive at 2.45 to settle in

🔥 Supercharge Your Intuition 🔥

with Psychic Medium Shannon Patching – Your Wellbeing Warrior

2026 is here - a year of new beginnings, promises to yourself, and stepping into experiences you’ve never tried before. This is your invitation to slow down, reconnect with your body and your inner guidance, and meet like-minded people who are also stepping into growth and self trust.

You already have intuition. That quiet inner knowing, the nudge before your mind catches up, the sense that something is right - or not -even when you can’t explain why. This workshop isn’t about becoming intuitive. It’s about learning how your intuition already works, how to recognise it, and how to trust it in a practical, grounded way.

In this 3 hour immersive experience, you’ll be guided back into your body - because intuition doesn’t live in the mind alone. When the nervous system is stressed or stuck in survival, access to inner guidance becomes clouded. When the body feels safe and supported, intuition becomes clearer, steadier and far easier to trust.

Shannon Patching (@YourWellbeingWarrior) is a respected Soul Medium who brings a grounded, compassionate and practical approach to intuitive development. Her work is informed by lived experience, ancestral wisdom and somatic awareness - supporting people to reclaim their inner authority without outsourcing their power.

Throughout the workshop, you’ll explore gentle embodied practices, reflective exercises and guided exploration to notice how intuition communicates with you - through sensations, emotions, images or sudden clarity. You’ll also learn how to distinguish true intuitive guidance from fear, overthinking or old conditioning.

This is a safe, uplifting and connected space. You’ll meet like minded people, share energy and experience the power of collective growth and healing - deepening your sense of belonging as you step into 2026 feeling grounded, confident and aligned.

We’ll close with a gentle sound healing, supporting integration and leaving you feeling lighter, centred and inspired. You’ll also receive a take home workbook to continue your journey beyond the workshop.

You’ll walk away feeling:
• more connected to your body and inner guidance
• calmer and more regulated in your nervous system
• clearer and more confident in decision making
• supported through meaningful connection
• ready to step into 2026 with clarity, purpose and self trust

No prior experience is needed - just curiosity, openness and a willingness to reconnect with yourself and form new connections with others.

Join us for a 2-hour Kirtan celebration — an uplifting Saturday night of chanting, connection, and heart-opening joy. With multiple performers sharing soulful mantras and live music, we’ll come together in community to sing, sway, smile, and simply be.

What to expect:
Most of the seating is on the floor with comfy cushions and blankets provided, though couches and chairs are available if preferred. Chai is complimentary, and we’ll have mantra sheets available so you can easily join in — or simply listen and absorb the experience. This is a welcoming and relaxed space for community connection, music, and shared presence.

No experience is needed — every voice and every person is welcome. Whether you feel like chanting loudly, humming softly, or soaking up the vibrations, there’s no pressure to be any other way than who you are.

Come bask in the joy of the practice — a fun and soulful way to spend your Saturday night, returning to the heart and leaving uplifted.

Breakthrough Breathwork is a fully guided, immersive breathwork experience using deliberate breathing patterns to help participants enter altered states of awareness. By working intentionally with the breath, this session supports the release of stored stress and emotional blocks, while opening space for insight, perspective, and meaningful internal shifts.

Unlike other breakthrough breathwork events, this session is guided from start to finish. Clear instruction, pacing, and ongoing support create a safe and contained environment, allowing you to explore deeper states of consciousness without needing to navigate the experience alone. Participant numbers are intentionally kept low to ensure a safe, supportive container and individual attention throughout the session.

As the breath patterns unfold, participants may experience emotional release, physical sensations, memories, imagery, or periods of deep stillness. Every experience is individual, and there is no right or wrong way for it to unfold.

A key part of this work is meeting resistance. Sensations of tension, hesitation, or discomfort often point to places where old patterns are ready to soften or release. Through guided breath and awareness, you are invited to stay present with these edges, allowing insight and integration to emerge naturally.

The session concludes with grounding, integration, and time to debrief. Participants are invited to reflect, share if they wish, and begin weaving the experience into daily life. Food and refreshments will be provided afterward, offering a gentle, nourishing close to the journey.

No prior breathwork experience is required. Please wear comfortable clothing and arrive with an open, curious mindset.
