Sydney Headless Way Workshop

Contemplative traditions have variously described your true nature as void-like, empty and yet full of the world, a clear light, pure awareness. Douglas Harding developed innovative experiments for directly seeing your true nature. This approach, the Headless Way, is simple and practical and offers techniques for investigating who or what you really are for yourself. As it is based upon your own experience, you are the authority, no one else. Bentyn Ramm is a philosopher who researches consciousness and first-person experience using the Headless Way experiments. Join him and others interested in this approach in Sydney for an afternoon of exploration of our first-person identity. Agenda: This is a first-person experiential approach. The workshop will involve doing the main Headless Way experiments together (basically guided meditations), including sharing reflections on our experiences and working with partners for some experiments. There is a half hour tea break in the middle of the workshop. For more info: www.headless.org Cost: $30 (cash can be paid on the day) Please aim to arrive 10 minutes early To confirm your reservation contact Brentyn - brentynramm@gmail.com More than 10 spots are available.

Guided Women’s Business Networking

**A monthly networking experience designed differently!** Our structured networking event is for women who want to grow, not just in business, but as individuals. Through meaningful conversations, thought-provoking reflection questions, and guided table rotations, you’ll gain fresh perspectives, build genuine connections, and challenge yourself to think bigger. **📝 How it works** **1\. Arrive & connect** You’ll be welcomed and seated at a table with a reflection prompt to kick-start the conversation. **2\. Dive into meaningful conversations** Each round explores a different question designed to spark honest discussions around business, personal growth, and the challenges that matter most. **3\. Meet someone new every 20 minutes** We guide every table rotation, so you’ll naturally connect with lots of different women throughout the evening, without any awkwardness. By the end of the night, you’ll leave with meaningful new connections, fresh perspectives, and greater clarity on your next steps. **🔎 How to Find Rabbit Bar** Rabbit Bar can be tricky to spot: 1. Go to the ground floor of **The Galeries** 2. Look for **Toastie Smith** 3. Behind it, you’ll see a semi-enclosed area 4. Walk down into that area 5. On your right, you’ll see a doorway. Enter it 6. Then look for another open door immediately to your right. That’s **Rabbit Bar**! 📲 **Got questions?** Feel free to message me here on Meetup. **Looking forward to a room full of real talk. See you there! xx** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Want to learn more about Her Collective Space?** Follow us on Instagram: [@hercollectivespace](http://www.instagram.com/hercollectivespace/)
