Many people hear voices and experience unusual phenomena at various times in their life. Some find these experiences very distressing. Others just shrug them off as "just one of those things".

If you seek the help of a mental health professional for these experiences you are likely to be told you have an incurable brain disease. Very seldom is there any sort of brain disease or injury involved but most people who experience serious mental illness (psychosis) also experience voices and/or other unusual phenomena that are medically referred to as delusions and hallucinations.

These sorts of experiences are also much more common than most people realise. Even when they result in considerable distress, through understanding, guidance and practice, most people can learn to manage them and and explore their potential for personal insight, creative expression, the exploration of consciousness, spirituality and more.

History is full of people who have attributed their inspirations and insights to voices, visions, muses or unusual experiences. Just a few examples include musicians and songwriters John Lennon, David Bowie and Michael Jackson, scientists like Albert Einstein, writers like J.K. Rowling and filmmakers like George Lucas;

A PLACE FOR EXPLORATION
This is an independent space outside the medical or any other authoritarian framework. We are not here to diagnose, treat or cure one another. We are here to share stories, explore experiences, exchange ideas and find meaning in the extraordinary.

You don't need to share anyone else's beliefs or have a ready-made explanation for your experiences. Curiosity, mutual respect and a willingness to explore are enough.

THE HEARING VOICES MOVEMENT
We are a part of the International Hearing Voices Movement (HVN). This movement has supported people who hear voices and experience other unusual phenomena for nearly 40 years. It has spread across more than 30 countries, providing spaces where people can share experiences, explore their meaning and learn from one another.

MELBOURNE — ONLINE
We are located in Melbourne Australia and meet every Wednesday evening, online using Zoom
