Kensington Market's Pedestrian Sundays
Sun, Jul 26, 4:00 PMHey all, Kensington Market's Pedestrian Sundays are back and it's a great opp for some great photos and exploration of the neighbourhood. If you are unfamiliar, the streets are closed off for people so it's quite an electric atmosphere, This is a free event and open to everyone, even if you just want to meet people. There is no real agenda, usually we just meet as a group and see how the day goes. Hope to see you then! Paul
Saturday Writing Meetup – near Bloor-Yonge
Sat, Jul 25, 5:00 PM\*\*NOTE: This meetup currently lacks a regular host. (The current hosts are volunteers for online organizational purposes; they show up in person occasionally.) If you arrive and there is no host, don’t worry. Whoever is the longest-running member (or whoever wants to) can set the timer for the writing session. In this way, the meetup is self-sustaining, and not dependent on any one person. Thanks for your understanding.\*\* Join us for an hour of quiet writing, followed by an hour of (optional) socializing. \*\*SILENT WRITING BEGINS AT 1:15 PM. IF YOU'RE LATE, WELCOME! WE WILL IGNORE YOU (BECAUSE WE'RE BUSY WRITING) UNTIL 2:15 PM.\*\* This meetup is open to everyone, whether you’re writing a novel, blog, class paper, or journal entry—or something completely different. Anyone interested is welcome to attend :) LOCATION: 5 Elements Cafe, basement level RSVP: Please be advised that seating is first-come, first-served, even if you have RSVP'd. Seats are not reserved and we can't control how many other people are in the cafe. We recommend coming down to the basement to grab a spot before you buy anything, just in case. SCHEDULE: 1:00 to 1:15 PM: Arrive and get settled in. 1:15 to 2:15 PM: Write in silence for an hour. \*\*If you arrive after 1:15, please silently find your own place to sit. We'll welcome you to join the group at 2:15.\*\* 2:15 PM: Introduce yourself. We'll go in a circle; just say your name and 1–2 sentences about what you're writing. (E.g., "I'm Rudolph and I'm writing a non-fiction book about reindeer.") 2:20 PM onwards: Chill/leave. Chat, hang out, keep writing if you want, leave whenever.

First book club meeting!
Thu, Jul 23, 11:00 PMHello everyone! For the first TBR meeting, I want everyone to bring the book they think we should read for the month and create a short pitch explaining why. I want it to feel like a Shark Tank episode where everyone pitches their book! At the end of the meeting, we will vote for which book we would like to read for the month. I want this first meeting to be social and friendly. Bring your books and your pitches!
Intuition Awakening Walk in Nature. Energy experience in Park Bathurst/Sheppard
Sun, Jul 26, 2:00 PMHello everyone, There's something remarkable that happens when we step outside, slow down, and actually *pay attention.* The rustle of leaves. The way light shifts through trees. The subtle shift in air as you move from open path to shaded trail. Most of us walk through nature on autopilot. This time we do the opposite. This is a **nature walk with intention** — a relaxed, friendly exploration of how tuning into your surroundings awakens something deeper: your intuition. That quiet inner signal that guides better decisions, better connections, better awareness of the world around you. No experience needed. No mysticism. Just fresh air, present company, and a little curiosity. We'll move through the beautiful trails of **Park** together, pause where it feels right, share observations, maybe play a couple of awareness games along the way — and after the walk can wrap it up with food and drinks at the plaza nearby sharing the experience and discussing what matters to you on the subject of intuitive and energy awaken living. 🌿 **What to expect:** * A relaxed walk through the Park's scenic trails * Simple intuitive awareness exercises along the way * Genuine conversations and natural connections * Food & beverages after to wind down together Event Fee: donation of any amount from the heart will be greatly appreciated **Location & Time:** 📍 **Earl Bales Park (Sheppard Ave / Bathurst St) — meet me outside the Community Centre** 🚻 Washrooms available inside the Community Centre 🕖 Please arrive between **10:00 am – 10:20 am** *(We'll use that time to introduce ourselves and answer your questions and / or do some intuitive/Tarot readings before heading out)* If you did not find us or if you are 5-10 minutes late (but not more than that) please message me.
