NEW! Bridging The Planet Gap
**Bridging the Planet Gap**
### *An Exclusive Pre‑Launch Transformative Educational Experience for Singles*
**Sun 31 May • 4–6pm • The Tower Hotel, East Hawthorn**
A boutique facilitated event for singles who value humour, depth and conscious connection.
If you’re tired of the apps, awkward small talk, being single or feeling misunderstood by the opposite sex, this ***pre‑launch event*** (with socialising afterwards), offers something completely different.
This is **not** speed‑dating.
It’s **not** therapy.
It’s an **educational, insightful group experience** designed to help men and women understand each others wants and needs more deeply - in a way that feels safe, fun, and surprisingly easy.
*"Until you make the unconscious conscious it will direct your life and you will call it fate"- Carl Jung*
**BOOK NOW. LIMIITED SPACES.**
**Pre‑Launch discount (Feedback Event)**
* **Solo ticket: $30**
* **Bring a friend (of the opposite sex): Ony $25 each**
*\*This event is **heavily discounted** in exchange for your feedback*
**BOOKING LINK**: [https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/1989809975200?aff=oddtdtcreator](https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/1989809975200?aff=oddtdtcreator)
**What You’ll Experience**
You’ll move through a series of **short, facilitated exercises and conversations** that are:
* fun
* insightful
* easy to participate in
* completely optional
There is **no obligation to speak** at any time. You can participate silently or engage at your own pace.
**This experience is crafted to help you:**
* understand the opposite sex in a clearer, more grounded way
* notice your own patterns and responses
* relax your nervous system so your personality can shine
* connect naturally with others
* feel more confident and at ease in social and dating contexts
This is a **light, fast‑moving, educational experience** that will leave you feeling more aware, more connected, and more confident about modern day dating and relationships.
**Why We’re Doing This**
Because singles today are navigating:
* mixed signals
* outdated myths and stories about men, women, dating and relationships
* confusion around roles, boundaries and expectations
* emotional fatigue from apps, speed dating and small talk events
* fear of rejection due to past hurts and miscommunication
**This event helps you:**
* expand your confidence and self‑worth
* strengthen communication skills
* understand masculine & feminine dynamics
* release old patterns that sabotage connection and love
* get clear on your wants, needs and boundaries
* rebuild trust between the sexes
* learn a new modern dating and relating model
**Who This Event Is For**
* Singles 30+ (all ages)
* Curious, conscious, open‑minded individuals
* People who want meaningful connection, not small talk
* Relationship‑minded men and women
* Heterosexual singles
* Aim: **Equal numbers of men and women. (Bookings required) BOOKING LINK**: [https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/1989809975200?aff=oddtdtcreator](https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/1989809975200?aff=oddtdtcreator)
**If you’re ready to learn, grow and connect in a whole new way, we would love you to join us.**

BeSocial. Coffee and Walk!
Join us for a relaxed coffee and walk designed to help you meet new people in a low-pressure, friendly way.
We’ll grab a coffee, go for an easy walk, and use simple conversation prompts to make it easier to chat and connect. Whether you’re new to the area, looking to make new friends, or just want to do something social, this is a casual way to meet like-minded people.
No pressure, no awkward networking — just coffee, fresh air, and genuine conversation.
**What to expect:**
A casual coffee catch-up, a relaxed group walk, and the chance to meet new people through BeSocial.
**Who it’s for:**
Anyone looking to make new friends, have better conversations, and feel more connected.

You Exist Too Much by Zaina Arafat
[Columbus library link to book](https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C3351321)
Location: The Goat River South
219 S High St, Columbus, OH 43215
Street parking is free on Sundays
[Menu](https://static1.squarespace.com/static/686d3ed16745133042482c5f/t/68ff654dbb03b96875430bde/1761568077220/all_brunch-20250311.pdf)
Book summary:
On a hot day in Bethlehem, a twelve-year-old Palestinian-American girl is yelled at by a group of men outside the Church of the Nativity. She has exposed her legs in a biblical city, an act they deem forbidden, and their judgement will echo on through her adolescence. When our narrator finally admits to her mother that she is queer, her mother's response only intensifies a sense of shame: 'You exist too much,' she tells her daughter. Told in vignettes that flash between the U.S. and the Middle East--from New York to Jordan, Lebanon, and Palestine--Zaina Arafat's debut novel traces her protagonist's progress from blushing teen to sought-after DJ and aspiring writer.
Feel Good Friday: POWER BALLAD at the Gateway Film Center + SHAKE NO. 8!
Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event:
DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor.
BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it “a sure-fired crowd-pleaser” that “just might be the feel-good hit of the year!” Others say, “Paul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmer” that’s both “hilarious and deeply moving!”
SUMMER OF ICE CREAM, VOL 2: SHAKE NO. 8! Ranked the #1 Ice Cream Shop in Columbus in 2024, this is the perfect place to kick off our Summer of Ice Cream and grab a sweet treat after the show! Their menu features an array of traditional, specialty and vegan shakes, hot cocoa, and more! You can check out their full menu here: [https://www.shakeno8.com/menu.php](https://www.shakeno8.com/menu.php)
PLAN: We’ll plan for a 7pm-ish showing and will meet in the lobby area about 20 minutes before the show. Once showtime is announced, advance ticket purchase is advised! Once you have yours, please list your seat number in the Comments section of this event. We'll head to nearby Shake No. 8 immediately following the show!
Should be a fun one, Dan
