**Listening within, A gentle forest meditation.** A gentle Saturday morning meditation to help you reconnect with your body, your internal signals, and your own quiet sense of knowing. This session is not about trying to find the “right” answers or figure everything out. It’s about learning how to listen… in a different way. Beneath the noise of thought, the body is always communicating. Through sensation, subtle shifts, and quiet signals, a sense of ease, a pull, a tightening, a softening. This practice is an invitation to slow down enough to notice… and to begin building trust in what you feel. We’ll be lying on the grass in Edinburgh Gardens, surrounded by the soft stillness of the morning. The space will draw on the feeling of being in a forest, where nothing is rushed, nothing is forced, and everything responds naturally to its environment. Just like the body. **Especially supportive if you are feeling:** • Feeling disconnected from your body or inner sense of direction • Overthinking decisions or searching for clarity • Wanting to feel more grounded and present • Learning to trust your intuition in a more embodied way • Ready to move through life with less force and more awareness **This session is designed to help you:** • Reconnect with your body as a place of guidance. • Notice and understand subtle internal signals. • Soften the need to constantly think or analyse. • Build trust in your own intuition. • Feel more steady, grounded, and self-connected. **Session structure** We’ll begin with Yoga Nidra, a guided deep rest practice where you simply lie down and allow the body to settle. Stillness supports the nervous system in softening, while awareness is gently guided through the body to help you shift out of thinking and into sensing. From there, we’ll move into a guided forest-based visual meditation focused on listening within. Through slow, grounded imagery and gentle hypnotic language, you’ll be invited to notice the body’s subtle signals, not to analyse or act on them, but to become familiar with them. This practice is about learning the language of your own body and beginning to trust it. No experience is needed. This session is beginner-friendly and fully guided from start to finish. **When and Where:** 🗓 **Saturday, 2nd May** ⏰ **9:00am – 10:30am** 📍 **Edinburgh Gardens, Fitzroy North** We’ll set up on the grass near the Rotunda. Look for my yoga mat and the large pink sign that says *“Free Guided Meditation.”* **Weather notes.** This is an outdoor session. If the weather turns rainy or unsuitable, I’ll update the event listing beforehand. Please check the Meetup page event before heading out. Melbourne weather can always surprise us. **What to bring:** • Yoga mat or something comfortable to lie on. • A light blanket or jumper. • Eye covering or small pillow (optional). • Water. • Comfortable, warm clothing. **Arriving Late.** Arriving a few minutes early helps you settle in and arrive fully before we begin. If you’re running late, please still join, just slip in quietly when you arrive. You won’t disturb the practice 😊 **Everyone is welcome.** Whether you’re feeling unsure, seeking clarity, or simply wanting a calm and grounded way to reconnect with yourself, this space is for you. 😊✨ I look forward to sharing this morning with you 🌿✨ **Kathy**

if you’re **tired of doing the same boring thing** every weekend, this is your excuse to **do something different.** This is **not just a comedy show.** It’s a full **Saturday night experience** at Shadybowl Speedway — a **BYOB** potluck cookout, **live racing,** a late-night **bonfire**, open mic **comedy under the stars**, and **free camping** if you want to stay the night. We’re basically **throwing a party in the middle of nowhere** — about an hour west of Columbus and an hour north of Dayton ### The experience **Start early with the cookout** Come out around **4:00 PM** for a potluck-style cookout. Bring something to share, hang out, have a few drinks, and meet people before the night gets rolling. **Then head into the races** Racing starts around **7:00–8:00 PM** at Shadybowl. **Bring a chair** and sit with us in **Turn 4** — best seats in the house. **in front of concrete spots** 58,59 **ask for Chance** Think **racing isn’t your thing?** That’s fine. **Bring something to drink** and come for the atmosphere, the noise, and **the wrecks.** **Then the real vibe kicks in** Once the races wind down, we head back to the fire for **Late Night Bonfire Comedy** starting around **11:30 PM**. This is open mic style, so you might catch comics traveling through, a local favorite, somebody trying stand-up for the first time. Either way, **you’re getting laughs around a bonfire** with drinks, good people, and nowhere else to be. **Stay the night if you want** No rush. No long drive home if you don’t want it. **Free camping on-site** — bring a tent, **sleep in your car,** or just **hang out late by the fire.** ### What to know **Saturday, May 9, 2026** * **Cookout starts around 4:00 PM** * **Racing starts around 7:00–8:00 PM** * **Bonfire comedy starts at 11:30 PM** * **BYOB, No glass inside the race.** * **Free camping, Bring a chair** * **Shadybowl admission is $15 cash only.** * **Free parking** **RSVP on Meetup is free.** A **small contribution helps** keep events sustainable and ensures those who RSVP actually show up. **Great events take time and money to organize**. If you **find value in these events** or maybe even **made a new friend,** consider **contributing what feels fair to you.** **Contribution link** listed below in the comments Be sure to Drop a comment on this post after you RSVP this helps the algorithm. Come for the cookout. Stay for the races. Laugh around the fire. Camp if you want.
