Urban Climb Blackburn If you've never climbed before, you need to complete a brief safety induction before you climb the first time (and they'll teach you everything you need to know to be safe indoors). There are sauna facilities, bouldering cave, speed wall and sparkling water too. This group is primarily for rope climbing; top roping or lead climbing. Many members have their lead pass and equipment, but feel free to go and do some bouldering too if you like! If you arrive on time, you'll find us chatting next to the couches in the bouldering area. If you're a little late please let the staff know that you are with the Climb Victoria Meetup, they can make an announcement and someone will come and collect you and introduce you to the group. Some members may even be wearing a black shirt with our logo on it.

We all recognize that if things were better organized, people would be better off. We have all had experiences with a business or government, school or a group that was not well organized and we experience the confusion, delays and upsets of trying to deal with disorganization. On a personal level, trying to get something started - a plan, some new bright idea you had, perhaps starting a new business - without organization can be a nightmare. Organization is a key and often missing factor in personal success. It is also essential for a flourishing family, group, organization or business. Attaining one's goals, no matter how large or small, requires a knowledge and application of organization.

Today's meetup is about the book Dianetics the modern science of mental health. Dianetics is the original Drug Free **mental health phenomenon** that inspired the entire self-help movement. It has been positively and **permanently transforming millions of lives** for over six decades. Dianetics is indisputably the most widely read and influential book ever written about the human mind. Learn about the previously unknown source of nightmares, unreasonable fears, anxiety, upsets, and insecurities which enslave Man. Find out what it is that commands one to act irrationally against your own wishes and goals. Dianetics helps you to set and reach your goals. Dianetics will help you reveal to you the one person you've always wanted to know - YOU Ask for Pam or Donavan .
