A two-day workshop presented by Nicky Bassett & Tony Petcopoulos Saturday 23rd May 9:30am-4:30pm & Sunday 24th May 9:30am-4:30pm Please join us as we explore our heart’s power to achieve higher states of consciousness, and our soul’s journey that enables us to become more open-hearted spiritual beings guided by love and wisdom. We begin by discussing the convergence of ancient heart wisdom traditions and recent heart-based scientific findings; and identify heart qualities that can increase our physical, emotional and mental well-being, resulting in awesome spiritual transformations including enhanced intuition, reduced karma and clarity of vision. Then, using H.P.Blavatsky’s treasured classic *The Voice of the Silence* as our guide, we reflect on our soul’s journey by exploring the significance of *The Voice*, the Doctrine of the Heart, the power of concentration, thought-forms and our shadow, and our path through the seven Portals that can lead us to spiritual wisdom. The workshop will include techniques and activities along with a two 50-page reference booklet to be distributed at the end of each day to reinforce the key concepts. Nicky and Tony have travelled the world since their early twenties, studying and practising various sacred traditions in search of Self, and have taught the Ageless wisdom for many years. Nicky’s tertiary studies in psychology and business have supported her work as an academic communications lecturer, management and training consultant, astrological counsellor and CEO. Tony is a retired social worker with 35 years’ experience in employee assistance schemes specializing in stress, burnout and community development and has studied at Adyar in India. They welcome you on this magical journey deep into our hearts.

It will not be like any other running race. If you push we will support you to go for a full marathon distance. As said .... It will not be a race, rather it will be more like any hash runs with markings, checks, on backs. It's a social running encouragement and mind over matter. Marathon virgins, non FRBs, Walkers all welcome along with Garminators. The idea is to run 7-8km legs between one stop to another. Regroup & refresh at each station for drink stops & continue again. If anyone wants to take break or discontinue can take the train to next stop or final venue. You do not have to do the full 42km but we encourage all to try so you push your boundaries and do longer distance then you think you can do. When its not a race, you take breaks to regroup & refresh you can go more then you think you can do. So why not give it a try. And those who does marathon runs for you its your day to support another person to push their limit to run beside you. Route: \# START: Pascoe Vale station\, leave 9:00am \* Stop 1: Batman station (7.1km), leave 10:10am \* Stop 2: Merri station (15.9km), leave 11:30am \* Stop 3: Collingwood station (Gahan Reserve) 22.7km, leave 12:40pm \* Stop 4: Burnley station (31km), leave 2:10pm \* Stop 5: Port Junction Tram stop (79 Whiteman rd) (37.6km), leave 3:10pm \# FINISH: West Beach Pavilion \(St Kilda Beach\) 42\.2km\, around 3:45pm Start time is 9am. Please RSVP (by May 15th) for this event as some logistics (drinks/snacks) involved for this event arrangement. Run fee $20. Includes drink & refreshments during stops. T-shirts available (approx $50) if we have sufficent numbers. First batch of T-shirt already ordered. More details at: https://www.facebook.com/events/1173583984859097

Think less "dating event"… more a Saturday night you'd actually choose to go out for. ## 💫 ABOUT THE EVENT Tired of dating apps that go nowhere? Over environments that feel forced or awkward?

On a list of "My Favorite Things", few people would put a "break up" in their top ten. More often, these words evoke feelings of shame, embarrassment, poor choices, and bad or sad endings. Before the new and beautiful can be built, the old, broken, and unnecessary must be cleared away. This process can be painful, but it is good, needful, and can produce wonderful results when done wisely and well. How does one break free from anxiety, comparison, or shame? Christian Bevere points people to the freedom God desires for His children, as well as giving practical ideas on how to shed both unhealthy baggage and the lies that seek to leave us anchored to past failure. Drawing from the Bible, ***Break Up With What Broke You*** clearly shows that what Satan would seek to use for evil, God uses for good and to accomplish His purposes. Join us **Tuesday, June 2, 2026, at 6:30 pm**, when we gather at **True Food Kitchen, Easton Town Center, Columbus**. We'd love to see you there!

We’ll spend time getting to know each other, talking about what brought us here, and exploring what kind of community we’d like to create together. This space is neurodivergent-affirming, self-diagnosis-friendly, and supportive of different communication styles and energy levels.
