May 23 | Kismetrix Social — A Hosted Singles Evening at Secret Garden
🎉 **KISMETRIX \| TRUE CONNECTION**
[Ticketed Event](https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/may-23-kismetrix-social-a-hosted-singles-evening-at-secret-garden-tickets-1988384078304?aff=oddtdtcreator)
**Kismetrix Social — Drinks, Conversation & Connection Under the Sunflowers**
Hosted by KISMETRIX \| True Connection
📍 Secret Garden Bar: 7/60 Fitzroy St, St Kilda VIC 3182
📅 Saturday 23 May 2026
🕖 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM *(venue open late)*
## A SATURDAY NIGHT TO ACTUALLY CONNECT
There's a place in St Kilda where sunflowers hang from the ceiling, the garden feels like a secret you've stumbled into, and the night just slows down a little.
That's where we're hosting Kismetrix Social — our most relaxed evening, designed for singles who want real conversation, good company, and a Saturday night that actually feels like one.
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? So were we.
KISMETRIX \| True Connection was created for people who want something more human — real conversation\, real presence\, genuine connection\.
You'll walk into a room full of people who:
🌻 Are open to meeting others
🌻 Enjoy good conversation and social energy
🌻 Prefer real-life interaction over apps
🌻 Are simply here for a good, intentional night out
Come for a drink. Stay for the vibe. See where the night goes.
## 🌻 THE VIBE
Picture it: warm lighting, hanging sunflowers above your head, the garden buzzing softly around you, and the kind of crowd where it's actually easy to start a conversation.
Expect:
🌻 A welcome drink in your hand within a minute of arriving
🌻 A warm, hosted welcome so nobody walks in feeling lost
🌻 Hosted introductions early in the evening to help conversations get started
🌻 Free-flowing mingling with light support from our hosts throughout the night
🌻 Conversation prompts on each table, if the room needs them
🌻 A relaxed, social crowd of intentional singles
No rotations. No forced formats. No hookup-bar energy. Just a thoughtfully designed night under the sunflowers, with people who actually want to meet someone.
## 👥 AGE GUIDE: 28–45
Kismetrix Social is open to all singles who care about meaningful connection. We provide an age guide so you know what to expect — most of our guests will fall within this range.
The focus of our events is intentional people, not strict age groups. If you're slightly outside this range and the format feels right for you, you're welcome to book.
## 🎯 WHO THIS NIGHT IS FOR
This event is for singles who:
🌻 Prefer a relaxed, social way to meet people
🌻 Enjoy conversation without forced formats
🌻 Want something more grounded than the apps
🌻 Appreciate good venues, good drinks, good company
🌻 Are open, friendly, and easy-going
Come solo or with a friend — most people come solo. You'll be in good company.
## 🍽️ FOOD & DRINKS
Your ticket includes a welcome drink on arrival.
Secret Garden has a great food and drinks menu throughout the night, available directly from the venue. Perfect if you'd like to make a full evening of it — and many of our guests do.
## 🎟 TICKETS
🌻 Early-Bird — $39
🌻 Bring-a-Friend Early-Bird — $35 each (paired bookings only)
🌻 General — $45
🌻 Last Minute— $55
Welcome drink included at every tier. Tickets are limited to maintain a comfortable, social atmosphere — early booking is recommended.
## 💡 WHY PEOPLE LOVE KISMETRIX EVENTS
🌻 No swiping. No apps. Just real people
🌻 No awkward formats or forced interactions
🌻 Thoughtful structure without rigidity
🌻 A genuinely enjoyable night — even if you come solo
🌻 Hosted by people who actually care about how the night feels
Many guests come "just for a drink"… and end up staying all night.
## ✨ WHERE KISMETRIX SOCIAL FITS
Kismetrix Social is our most accessible event — a relaxed, hosted evening for singles who want real connection without the structure of our Elevated Evenings or the formality of our Dinners.
It's the easiest way to experience how we do things, and many guests go on to join our other events from here.
## 🔔 IMPORTANT NOTES
🌻 This is a hosted social experience — not speed dating
🌻 A welcome drink is included; additional drinks and food are available at the venue
🌻 Participation in introductions is always optional
🌻 Respect, boundaries, and good energy are essential
🌻 Tickets are non-refundable but transferable

In-Person Meeting: How I Get Private Lenders and Partners to Fund My Deals
(Note: RSVPing here on meetup does NOT reserve your seat. To do that, you’ll need to register at our website, **[HERE](https://www.coreerocks.com/Events.aspx?ID=In-Person-Columbus-Meeting-How-I-Get-Private-Lenders-and-Partners-to-Fund-My-Deals-14-6-2-2026)**.)
Tuesday, June 2nd, 5:00–8:30 PM Eastern
Central Ohio Chapter Meeting
IN PERSON IN COLUMBUS
How I Get Private Lenders and Partners to Fund My Deals
If you can’t fund it, you don’t have a deal.
And right now, funding is where more investors are getting stuck.
Private lenders are more cautious.
Partners are asking better questions.
And deals that look good on paper still fall apart when the money doesn’t show up.
That’s why we’re bringing in a panel of investors who are actually getting their deals funded right now.
You’ll hear how they’re finding money, structuring deals, and building relationships that lead to repeat funding.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
* Where they’re finding private lenders today
* How they start conversations that lead to funding
* What makes lenders and partners say YES
* How they structure deals to be fundable
* The biggest mistakes investors make when raising money
* How to build repeat funding relationships
**Early Session (6:00–7:00 PM Eastern):**
**Having Trouble Finding Tenants? How Community Shelter Board Can Help**
Nicholas Brenner will walk you through programs designed to help rapidly rehouse tenants, including financial support that can stabilize your rentals.
**The Deal Room (7:00–7:30 PM Eastern)**
Bring deals, funding needs, buyers, and problems.
This is where connections turn into action.
This meeting is for serious real estate investors nationwide, and we’re known for our high-content, real-life education and our nationwide community of dealmakers.
Members and non-members at all levels are welcome.

In Person Event: The Secrets to Mental Health
Mental Health, how do you understand it? How can you improve it?
How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself.
Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went?
Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence?
Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.
This group is hosted by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
