Something Needs to Change. But What?

Thu, Nov 5, 6:30 AM
From Conversations About Change by Kynara Collective

Have you been thinking something needs to change in your work or life, but you’re not quite sure what or where to start? Maybe you’re unhappy in your current job, considering a career change, or simply questioning whether the path you’re on is still right for you. Join Joti, founder of Kynara Collective, for a relaxed conversation over a drink with others who may be navigating similar questions. There’s no presentation, structured programme or sales pitch. Just an opportunity to step away from the day-to-day, talk about what’s on your mind, explore possibilities and perhaps see things from a different perspective. You don’t need to have a plan or even know exactly what you want to change. Where: Near Circular Quay. Venue to be provided to those who register. When: Thursday, from 5:30 pm Cost: Free to attend. Simply purchase your own drinks.

Extreme Positivity 2.0 - Overflowing Generosity

Extreme Positivity 2.0 - Overflowing Generosity

Sat, Nov 14, 5:00 AM
From Transformational Leaders Collective
4.5

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. It’s a party reimagined - alcohol-free, featuring healthy plant-based food.

Harbour After Dark

Harbour After Dark

Fri, Nov 6, 7:30 AM
From Sydney's Social Connections
4.6

## **Harbour After Dark 🌆** ## **Where meaningful conversations, genuine connection, and new friendships begin.** Step into a different kind of Friday night. Harbour After Dark brings together professionals, business owners and people who are intentional about creating a full and meaningful life. It is for those who value genuine conversation, authentic connection and spending time with others who are also looking to build enriching relationships and a strong sense of community. In a world of Zoom calls, remote work, endless scrolling and busy schedules, many of us are craving something more human. A chance to step away from the screens. To unwind after the week. To meet new people naturally. To enjoy conversations that feel easy, genuine and energising. As life becomes busier, it is easy to realise that while we know plenty of people, we do not always have a community where we can simply show up, relax and enjoy being ourselves. Harbour After Dark was created to be that place. A place where familiar faces become friends, new conversations happen naturally and connection grows over time. Over the past few years, Harbour After Dark has grown into a well-established monthly gathering where people come to expand their social circles, reconnect with familiar faces and meet new people in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Many of our guests have been attending for years and often bring friends along, while new faces join every month, making it easy to feel welcome whether it is your first event or your tenth. Whether you come on your own or with a friend, you will be welcomed into a relaxed and friendly environment where meaningful conversations happen naturally. There is no pressure to network or impress anyone. Just an opportunity to enjoy the company of good people and finish the week surrounded by genuine connection. ## **Event Details** 📅 **Friday 6 November** 🕡 **6:30 pm to 9:30 pm** 📍**Novotel Darling Square Hotel** 17 Little Pier St, Darling Harbour NSW 2000 ## **Dress Code** We encourage you to make an effort and dress with confidence. Think stylish, polished and relaxed rather than formal. ## **Food and Drinks** A selection of shared platters will be provided throughout the evening and is included in your ticket. Additional food and beverages, including cocktails, wine, beer and non-alcoholic drinks, will be available to purchase from the bar. ## **Reserve Your Ticket** https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/2002782464264?aff=oddtdtcreator ## **Our Community** Harbour After Dark has never been about hosting just another social event. It was created to build a community where people feel welcome, conversations happen naturally and genuine friendships have the opportunity to grow. Kindness, respect and inclusiveness are at the heart of every event, and we ask all guests to contribute to the warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes Harbour After Dark so special. Photography and videography may take place during the evening for use across our website, social media and promotional material. By attending, you acknowledge and consent to this. If you would prefer not to appear in photos or videos, this event may not be the right fit for you. I look forward to welcoming you. **Cristina Davy**
