The Authentic Living Centre

The authentic social nights are held by the lovely Simon and Laura who provide vegan and gluten free healthy food. The people that attend are great likeminded individuals. Simon’s amazing agenda helps us all to dive deep into connecting with others easily.

I have engaged with The Authentic Living Centre as a facilitator to run my trauma recovery workshops and as a participant to explore the richness of Tantra and Authentic Social Night and their New Year's Eve Ceremony which I highly recommend! I absolutely just love the space. It feels cosy and intimate where it's safe to be held, nourished and supported. I will definitely be back at The Authentic Living Centre again to run my future workshops on Healing Childhood Trauma and Ancestral Trauma Alchemy and to attend their incredibly unique events on sensuality with spirituality. Thank you Simon and Lora, you both have been amazing and thank you for providing this space for us facilitators and participants. Love and light to you both 🙏💖🌟

Loved hosting an event here. Relaxed vibe. Easy practicalities. Plenty of cushions / tea bags / good energy. And very handy central location. ( don’t give up if you think you can’t find it. Just take a deep breath and accept the signs, however subtle)

I have been attending The Authentic Living Centre since its it opened its doors as a both a participant and facilitator. Over the past 6+ years I have attended many of the incredible heart warming and soul enriching events there. I’ve also been facilitating monthly Soul Space Circles there for almost 6 years now and have been blessed with a diverse group of people attending of all genders including non-binary. Last year I co-hosted a Soulful Connections Workshop there in collaboration with 4 other facilitators in May 2022 and we filled up the main room with 35+ soul full connections, past and present. As both a participant and facilitator I can honestly say there is something very special about the space and its energy. I have not felt drawn to host my events at any other venue since I started facilitating events in June 2017. Located on the heart of Oxford & Crown streets yet once you step inside you notice you’ve left the hustle n bustle and entered a very different space and find your energy can shift while aligning to the space there. Simon and Lora do a fantastic job maintaining and managing the centre and are always so welcoming and engaging. I am so grateful they have been able to keep their doors open especially after the lockdowns. I would certainly recommend it both as a venue for facilitators seeking to host events and for participants seeking to attend events that promote authenticity and the freedom to be our true selves with a group of open minded and open hearted souls on a journey of self discovery and awareness. I’ve have had the pleasure of witnessing many beautiful connections form there over the years both at my own events and others, especially those hosted by Simon & Lora themselves. It’s the place you can find yourself keep going back to again and again. I hope to see you there.

Really loving energy to this place in a convenient location. I rent one of the workshop rooms for a few hours weekly and have always found Simon and Lora very easy to deal with. They take pride in the upkeep of the Center and are very open to feedback. The energy in the place is nice and clean and extremely loving. I have also been to a few workshops held here and they have all been great. Very lucky to have this center in Darlinghurst - it's a great place to meet like-minded people in a busy and frenetic City!

I have been coming here for years and initially came to the powerful healing workshops that Simon and lora (who also run the centre) run there. It’s such a great community space, really welcoming and inclusive. The loving intention and integrity that Simon and lora hold for that space really shines through. Having a space for healing and transformation amongst the contrast of the busy city is quite powerful in my opinion! I highly recommend this space 🙋🏻‍♀

A wonderful space to host or attend a workshop. The space is cared for beautifully by Simon & Lora, who ensure it is a welcoming space for all hosts and attendees. The space is infused with thousands of hours of people experiencing healing, joy, expansion and transformation, and it holds that energy with love and clarity. Plus it is one of the very few wheelchair accessible workshop spaces, so highly recommended for hosts and participants / attendees alike!

I experienced this space as both a participant and facilitator and I love it.

The space itself is inviting and cosy as well as spacious. I’ve been coming here for the past 6 years to numerous events and have loved them all!

So much of my own growth and personal development has happened within these walls.

I’ve also found running my own speed dating events here quite easeful!

I love working with Simon and Lora and I love who and what they offer here.

Love this space and so glad it exists

Authentic living center is a gathering place for the conscious community in Sydney. They create space for several facilitators to bring their offerings into the world. Some offerings are life changing others not so much but this is not the mission of the place. Rather having a reference place for the community to grow internally and externally. I am grateful for all the offerings I attended and for having such a nice place in my city.

I have both attended workshops and facilitated workshops here and I really like this venue. It always has a relaxed vibe to it and the rooms and spacious and inviting and the location is central and close to public transport. There is always a broad selection of events and facilitators running workshops for people to experience lots of variety from Breathwork to Tantra to Reiki and Meditation.

I have been teaching yoga for drug and alcohol rehabilitation and relapse prevention for nearly 3 years at this centre. This space offers respite from the busy world outside. It continues to grow and open to facilitators and healers alike adding to the energy and positivity in the centre. Thank you for all your hard work Simon!

I have been to a number of workshops and events at the Authentic Living Centre. I have always found it a very welcoming space - the owners Simon and Lora as well as the amazing range of other healing practitioners who hold events have created a really lovely place to work on my spiritual growth and meet like minded people . Thankyou !

Have experienced a number of different workshops run through the Authentic Living Centre over the past few years and they have all given me beautiful and healing insight into who I am and who we are as human beings. Would highly recommend the place and the serene space.

I love this place both as a participant and a practitioner. I wonderful soulful community and incredible authentic founders Simon and Lora. Highly recommended for those keen to dive into conscious living, being and relationships!

Kundalini Activation with Sky was absolutely out of this world. Amazing experience. I’ll be back for sure! Thank you!

Great urban location for meeting people into all things alternative and community.
Thanks Simon for making this space available for us.

Heart-centered space. Warm, inviting and totally open community. I went to a class here and feel so deeply connected within myself.

I have been here many times now for various events and am so grateful for this space.

Nice places with diverse events related to different workshops such as Music

A special space for authentic connection and personal development.
