GO: GRAND OPENING
// Friday: 7pm - 3am; Saturday: 3pm - 3am
We’re pulling out all stops and putting together a truly high-calibre line-up for G.O! Our Grand Opening. This will be reasonably huge and is quite likely to sell out. Booking recommended.
To celebrate the venue being fully set up, and ready to regularly open, we’re holding a two-day fiesta! We’re keen to make the winter solstice special. Across Friday night, Saturday day and Saturday night, we’ll host a high-quality smorgasbord of music, performances and installations. Rumour has it that Trainscendence will magically expand, doubling in size like some magic trick. With the tragic closure of many festivals, we’re keen to get as close as we can in the city. Retire to your comfortable bed on Friday night and then come back to meet up with the same people in the same place the next day. What a feeling.
Several awesome Melbourne crews will do a take over of a particular floor. With ten floors available at this event, perhaps changing a little from the Friday to the Saturday, you never know quite what you’ll find behind each door, as you explore the double trouble venue. There are rumours of surprise doors in the laneway, leading to more mystery, music and magic.
Also! Roll the dice with a Monopoly-themed game running throughout the weekend as well. We’re fans of double-meaning and of slight confusion, so this game will be called GO. Not to be confused with the existing popular strategy game called Go. The event is also called G.O! “Are you going to G.O?” “Yes, I can’t wait, I’m definitely going to play GO at G.O!” “Oh, you play Go?” “No, not that Go, they’ve made a new game called GO.” “Oh so we could play Go and GO and G.O!” “Yes, at the same time, so it could be your go in Go while it was my go in G.O.” “Love it. Let’s gooooooo!”
Hope to see you at G.O: Grand Opening. Single Fri night or Saturday day+night passes, as well as full weekend passes available.
Q: I’m really confused by what you said the game ‘GO’ !?
A: Apologies! This game will be available to be played at the event. There will be tables with game hosts, who will invite players to join when there are open spots at their table. They’ll explain the rules to new players.
Q: Grand ‘opening’ …so, what happens after you’re open?
A: After this Grand Opening, we'll start by opening three days a week: Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. 8am-8pm. Members will be able to head upstairs and enjoy the sauna, performances and workshops, kitchen facilities and a variety of spaces to use for co-working, meeting, creative pursuits and more.
Q: So you have to be a member to enter?
A: The ground floor, Platform Infinity, will be a casual co-work cafe, available to all. Non-members will only be able to head upstairs to attend a specific event, if it has a non-member ticket available. We’re incentivising membership because we want to build a community, so membership will definitely be the best value. Members can come and enjoy all we have to offer 24 hours a week (these opening hours will increase after we get properly started).
Q: How much will membership be?
A: Initially, $19.90 a week. We’re open to thoughts, feedback and discussions too, as we finalise this.
// 1pm - 6pm
A top secret, highly exclusive visioning summit for the 0.00001% of entrepreneurs who are ready to take the plunge.
Could it be a sincere exploration of our future intentions; could it be a parody of Zuckerberg types, could it be both?!?
So...
Imagine you have achieved an immense deal of success in an area you would love to be successful. Perhaps this means you’ve produced something well-loved. Perhaps it’s resulted in a luxurious lifestyle. Perhaps you’re a respected public personality. Perhaps you’ve made a significant impact upon the world and humankind. You are able to define the success however you like. Simply, you’ve managed to achieve something which right now would seem amazing, desirable and unbelievable to you. Congratulations.
VISIONBOARD is a workshop which invites you to imagine your wildest dreams have come true. So much so that you’ve been able to attend an absurdly overpriced ‘wellness summit,’ at the top of a mountain only accessible by private jet. Your company is a handpicked group of similarly successful people.
You will play a character - a version of yourself in a hypothetical future where you’ve become extremely successful at something. Before attending, you’ll do a brief pre-event questionnaire online. This will guide you to consider which success/successes you’d like to focus on and develop a sense of the character you’ll be playing.
On the day, we’ll greet each other out of character and set some conventions for the day ahead. Then, we’ll imagine travelling through space and time to the ‘wellness summit.’
We’ll do mantras, cold plunge and visioning exercises. Everyone’s portrait will be framed. Your guides are the eccentric billionaire event designers Harlothemew and Luc. More than insight, foresight or hindsight, we’ll gain upsight, diagonasight and outtasight!
The day intends to have a parody energy and invite in a little of the ridiculous. At the same time, it’s hoped that stepping into a dream future and exploring visions of one’s life path and goals may be genuinely useful and powerful.
This experience is limited to only 10 brave souls.
Heed the call to join, and gain some serious insight,
and some even more serious outtasight.
(If your question is not answered below, please email us at info@trainscendence.com.au to enquire about anything at all. Thanks :) )
Q: So, is my character just myself?
A: Yes! Yourself in the future. You will probably take the same name, unless you believe that your name might have changed in the hypothetical future we’re exploring.
Q: Do I have to do a cold plunge?
A: No! This, and a few other ‘wellness summit’ activities are offered as part of the high-end exclusive entrepreneur experience, but your character may prefer to sit some things out and gain wisdom through witnessing.
An extremely carefully curated two hour music mix guides a journey each Wednesday night. Cacao before, chats after. This aims to be a space of expression, authenticity and safety. The soundscape aims to inspire, move and transport. We think both music and movement are medicines, and we love that conscious dance can be a solo journey or a journey of connection, depending on what one needs on a given night. We’d love to see you there.
‘Sissy Heff’ AKA Harley Hefford and ‘Water Signs’ AKA Callum Lawson are co-coordinating this event, with original live music created and performed by Callum and light facilitation offered by Harley. Seasoned dancers, as well as those who have never attended a conscious dance before are welcome.
