Ulo: petveture trans Esperantujo

***Ulo: petveture trans Esperantujo*** Kion signifas vivi en senfina vojaĝo tra kontinentoj, sen fiksita celo sur la mapo, sed kun la Internacia Lingvo kiel fidela kompaso? En ĉi tiu prelego vi aŭdos rakontojn pri eksterordinaraj renkontoj, petveturaj aventuroj kaj lokaj travivaĵoj — 18 monatojn de vagado de Eŭropo, tra Azio ĝis Aŭstralio. Ĝi estas vojaĝo trans pejzaĝoj, kulturoj kaj homaj destinoj, vidita tra la fotografia lenso de vojaĝanto, kiu uzas Esperanton por ligi homojn trans limoj. Venu, aŭskultu kaj malkovru kiel la nuntempa mondo aspektas el la perspektivo de Esperantisto.

Extreme Positivity 2.0 - Overflowing Generosity

We live in a world where bad news travels fast, fear grabs our attention, and negativity has had decades to occupy our mental real estate. What if, for once, we turned the tables? What if we flooded our surroundings with so much goodness that it became impossible not to know it, feel it, and be it? Welcome to "Extreme Positivity 2.0 - Overflowing Generosity" where we take our best finds and see what happens when we broadcast it on everyone around us. This isn't about pretending life is perfect or forcing ourselves to be happy. It's about deliberately creating hope for hope's sake, then seeing what happens when this new energy gives people permission to flourish, heal, and become positivity beacons themselves. Expect more expressions of goodness than you've ever experienced packed into 3 hours. Some of you will immediately know you need this right now as you read this invitation. Others might not realise how much they've needed it until afterwards because sometimes, the busyness of life gets in the way of noticing, appreciating and sharing good news. Because positivity isn't just something we can cultivate within ourselves. It's something we can give and multiply... **Who is this for?** * anyone surrounded by toxic environments or negative people * those who need to communicate optimism and convince others to embrace positivity, whether professionally or as a business owner * people who would benefit from connecting with a diverse network of humans working to make the world a better place in different fields **What will happen?** * exercises to discover what brings people to life and learn what makes each other tick * team challenges that turn feelings of joy, awe and ecstasy into expressions of goodness for others to experience * simulations to explore and practice the power of words, thus honing in awareness of how the way we communicate matters a lot **What will you get out of it?** * leave very, very, very positive about yourself and others * learn techniques and tools to make positivity feel more natural and become your new default * gain a greater appreciation of your own influence in the world 🎟️ This is a ticketed event. Register to attend using this link: [https://www.trybooking.com/au/event/1663936](https://www.trybooking.com/au/event/1663936) Ticket includes drinks, snacks and a vegetarian meal. \*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^ ***Utopia Rising*** delivers unconventional social experiences for self-improvement seekers looking to broaden their network or simply be inspired by life again.

Storytelling: Connects Us and Brings a Sense of Belonging

**The Connection Collective** brings people together through real stories, shared experiences and human connection — creating community, nurturing belonging and helping reduce social and emotional isolation. Connection shouldn’t be something we have to navigate alone. People can be surrounded by others and still feel lonely, socially disconnected or emotionally isolated. **The Connection Collective** creates real-world opportunities for people to meet, listen, share and feel part of something — because meaningful connection and belonging are important parts of a healthy community. Join us for an intimate community evening where storytellers share true personal stories inspired by a different theme each month. The theme gives the evening a shared starting point, but every story is unique, funny, moving, surprising or reflective. Each story lasts up to eight minutes and comes from lived experience. Come as a storyteller or as a listener. No speaking experience is required, just a real story and a willingness to share. Leave feeling more connected. You can join us in one of two ways: 1. 🎤 As a **storyteller**, sharing an 8 minute true story * Your story might be about being seen, accepted or included. * It might be about finding your people, discovering where you fit * Or experiencing the feeling of coming home. 2. 👂 As an **audience member**, coming along to listen and connect There’s something powerful about hearing real stories from real people. We begin to recognise ourselves in each other and discover just how connected we already are. If you’re considering sharing a story but don’t feel completely ready, this is your invitation to answer the call to be courageous, and improvise some parts of it along the way 😉 Sometimes, we only recognise the growth after we’ve taken the step. 🎟️ Register to attend: [https://events.humanitix.com/storytelling-night-redfern?dateId=69a917f2db815ecdcd0b6c91](https://events.humanitix.com/storytelling-night-redfern?dateId=69a917f2db815ecdcd0b6c91) **ABOUT** ***João Bazan***, is the Founder of ***The Connection Collective***, a Sydney-based not-for-profit dedicated to strengthening social connection, emotional wellbeing, and community belonging. Through storytelling events and supportive spaces for reflection and conversation, the Collective brings people together to share real experiences, listen deeply, and build meaningful human connection. Connection shouldn’t be something we have to navigate alone. #### Stay connected Instagram: @theconnectioncollective_tcc **Website:** **[www.theconnectioncollective.au](http://www.theconnectioncollective.au/)**

Let's talk AI over a drink.* ***Tired of AI hype and jargon? So are we.*** AI on Tap is a no-pressure hangout where business minds swap stories about what’s actually working with AI - and what’s not.

Integrating Bigger Parts: Finding Balance Between Opposing Desires Through NLP

What Happens When Two Important Parts of You Want Different Things? 🤔 ✨ Achievement vs. Non-Attachment. Change vs. Acceptance. What if the key to personal growth isn't choosing one over the other, but learning how to integrate both? We often experience opposing forces within ourselves. One part strives for achievement, while another seeks freedom from attachment. One desires change, while another encourages acceptance. But what if these seemingly conflicting desires could work together instead of against each other? Join MOTIVATE Community for an insightful and interactive NLP Parts Integration webinar, where we explore how to recognise, understand, and integrate opposing desires. Building on previous discussions about internal conflicts, this session takes a closer look at integrating bigger parts through predetermined opposing forces such as achievement vs. non-attachment and change vs. acceptance. Discover how exploring these internal dynamics can create greater self-awareness, new perspectives, and opportunities for personal growth. 🌱 📅 Join us on Sunday, November 1, 2026, at 5:00 PM (China Time / GMT+8) for MOTIVATE Community's FREE After-Hours Discussion with Professional Coaches webinar, "Integrating Bigger Parts: Finding Balance Between Opposing Desires Through NLP Parts Integration," featuring Adrian Cahill, Life and Executive Coach.

His search has taken him across psychology, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, hypnosis, coaching, mindfulness, leadership, business, and immersive experiences with both Eastern and Western approaches to human development. Rather than following a single tradition, Adrian has sought the timeless principles that unite them. A TEDx speaker, trainer, business coach, and founder of MOTIVATE Community, Adrian is known for making complex ideas practical, meaningful, and deeply human. His work helps people move beyond collecting knowledge to developing the awareness, compassion, and effectiveness that create lasting success, stronger relationships, wiser leadership, and greater personal freedom. Above all, Adrian is a devoted father and community builder who believes that genuine transformation is not about becoming someone else—it is about uncovering more of who you already are. His mission is to help people cultivate emotional, intellectual, and financial freedom while creating positive change in their families, organisations, and communities.
