From Free Meditation Homebush West

During this week's class we find out more about this energy that lies at the base of our spine, known as the kundalini. We also learn how to develop our vibrational awareness so that we can feel the state of our chakras and clear and strengthen their qualities. During the one hour session we have guided meditations, music, videos from the founder of Sahaja Yoga, Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi and time for questions at the end. When we meditate collectively, it deepens our experience, taking us into a state of thoughtless awareness where we can experience the qualities of our spirit; peace, joy, love, silence. There is no need to bring anything and chairs are available. We are located in Melville Hall within the Homebush West Community Centre. Classes are always free. If you have any questions, please call Jenny on 0425324265

EASY WALK & KAYAK ADVENTURE DAY - 5km forest walk + 2hr kayak - Narrabeen

EASY WALK & KAYAK ADVENTURE DAY - 5km forest walk + 2hr kayak - Narrabeen

Sat, Feb 21, 10:15 PM
From SydneyAdventurers40+
4.8

Let's make the most of this last week of summer with an easy adventure which is the very best of bush and water experiences in Sydney. From Narrabeen shops we'll catch a quick bus to the top of the Garigal National Park escarpment and do a super easy walk downhill on a beautiful rainforest trail. At the bottom we stop for lunch, and the organiser transfers everyone a short way by car to the local kayak shop, where we hire kayaks to cruise on the beautiful protected lagoon for 2 hours, finishing back at our morning start point by about 3pm. Afterwards join us for drinks and fab food at the local texmex bar right by the lake. What better way to spend a Sunday? . **THE PLAN** **Optional pre-start coffee & breakfast**: We'll be gathering from 8.15am at the [Grumpy Expresso Bar](https://grumpyexpresso1417.com.au/) (next to our start point at the Narrabeen B-Line bus stop, Pittwater Rd, Narrabeen). There is a toilet here. **Official start** Meet the group at 9.15am SHARP at the B-Line bus stop next to the Grumpy Expresso Bar. **Quick bus trip to start of bushwalk** We'll catch two connecting buses up to the top of Garigal National Park escarpment to the start of the forest trail - total 30 minutes bus trip. Don't forget your Opal card. **Easy downhill bushwalk** * First a 1 km flat fire trail across the edge of the escarpment. Stop for morning break at dramatic crags with epic views of valleys and ocean. * Then walk another 1 km downhill to enter a beautiful dark magical rainforest, and follow it for 3km along a flat trail to a lovely park by Narrabeen lagoon. * Stop for picnic lunch, water refills, toilet break. * During lunch the organiser will ferry everyone by car 4km back to the kayak shop. **Easy 2 hour kayak session** * Check in at the kayak shop and pay for our hire kayaks ($40 per person for 2 hours). * The group paddles slow around the lagoon, between the beautiful islands, pausing at the big sand dunes and beach for big views of the coast, and slow paddle back to the shop. Total paddle 5 - 7 km, distance to be managed depending on how much energy everyone has, nothing too hard or rushed. * Aim to finish 3.00-3.30pm at the kayak shop. **After-party** If you like, stay afterwards to relax with excellent drinks, fab food and good company at the TexMex bar close by on the lake shore and right next to the bus stop. . **IS THIS ACTIVITY OK FOR ME?** This event is fine for beginner walkers and beginner paddlers. You just need basic fitness and mobility. The 5km bushwalk is very easy: an open fire trail for 1km, then a steep but easy 1km dirt track downhill (give this walk a miss if you have very bad knees on downhills), then 3km of almost completely flat dirt trail through the rain forest. Paddling is not about having big upper body strength, and you don't need previous experience and training for this beginner paddle. The leader will give you lots of coaching on how to paddle efficiently using your leg and core muscles instead of your arms, so that you don't get tired. To paddle you will be swivelling your shoulders and torso a lot, so you should not do this activity if you have injuries to shoulders, elbows or spinal joints, or if you have a hernia in your torso. Safety comes first: We never ever leave anyone behind either on the trail or the water - beginners are taught, supported, encouraged and included. The kayaks are stable wide bodied boats which are simple to paddle and very hard to fall out of, and everyone is required to wear the provided bouyancy vests for safety. . **GRATUITY** Please contribute $15 cash to help cover the group's operating costs. You can * bring $15 exact cash on the day, or * make a PayID bank transfer to the organiser's phone number 0411 600 717 in the morning before the start of the event. This contribution is in addition to and separate to your $40 kayak hire fee which you pay directly to the kayak shop on the day. . **TRANSPORT** *By car:* * You can get to Narrabeen via Military Rd and Pittwater Rd from the city, or via Mona Vale Rd and Pittwater Rd from the north and northwest suburbs. * There is free parking in the Narrabeen St carpark (right next to the kayak shop) and in adjacent residential streets, but on sunny days spaces can be hard to find so arrive at least 30 minutes early. * From Narrabeen Street it is then a 300 metre walk to the right along pathway on the edge of the lake to our meeting point at the B-Line bus stop next to Grumpy Expresso Bar. *By express bus from Wynyard station:* * Take the B1 bus (City to Mona Vale servcie) at 8.35am from Stand B in Carrington Street, arriving at the B-line stop at Narrabeen shops at 9.15am. * If you are joining us earlier for coffee/breakfast at the expresso bar, take the 7.55am B1 bus, arriving at Narrabeen at 8.33am. * See trip planner at [www.transportnsw.info](http://www.transportnsw.info/) for connections. . **BRING** * Opal card for the bus trips * morning snack & lunch * water bottle (there are refills along the way) * bushwalking shoes * sun protection is ESSENTIAL (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen) * insect repellent is ESSENTIAL for this walk * light shirt & shorts to walk & paddle in (can get wet in the boat), * normally we paddle barefoot, but if you want to wear shoes in your boat bring a spare pair that you don't mind getting wet * warm jacket (even in hot weather you can get chilled in the breeze) * towel * dry change of clothes **There will be secure arrangements to leave your bag and valuables at the kayak shop, but if you want to take them in your boat make sure you put all of your things in dry bags or heavy duty plastic garbage bags inside your bag to keep them dry.** **Protect all electronics (cards, phone, keys) in a waterproof container such as a well sealed sandwich box.** If you wish to take pictures with your phone whilst paddling, make sure it is in a dry case with a secure cord (can buy these at the kayak shop) as it is extremely easy to drop it in the water. . **DISCLAIMER** By your RSVP to this event you agree to the conditions of membership and participation which you can read in the ABOUT US section [HERE](https://www.meetup.com/sydney-adventurers-40plus/messages/boards/thread/53730628).

Because the truth is: ✨ Your future is shaped by the habits you choose today. They are the bridge between where you stand and the life you’re dreaming of. If you’re ready for a year of transformation — a year where you rise, change, stretch, and never look back — then you’re in the right place. This is a space for people who are choosing growth on purpose. A community of humans who are rewriting their stories, building new habits, and cheering each other on through every breakthrough and every wobble.

Thornleigh to Cowan 36km (2 days) VERY HARD

Thornleigh to Cowan 36km (2 days) VERY HARD

Fri, Feb 20, 10:00 PM
From Aussie Explorers
4.8

**Thornleigh to Crosslands Reserve Camping area and Crosslands reserve to Cowan.** These two days on the Great North Walk are really beautiful as the walk heads through Berowra Valley and up the Berowra Creek. DAY 1 - Meet at Thornleigh train station and we will walk together through to the camp site at Crosslands reserve which is approximately 20 kilometres in distance. Please make sure you pack light as this hike is advisable for experienced hikers because day 2 is very challenging. Crosslands reserve is a great place to camp just near the river and there are picnic tables and a toilet block. There are no showers but I filled a bottle and poured it over myself last time I was there as the toilet block is on city water and swimming in the river is not advised. You will need to book camping at Crosslands reserve so please do this straight away when you join the event. I have already booked my spot for the night of Saturday 21st (SEE LINK BELOW). https://hornsby.bookable.net.au/venues/13/crosslands-reserve-camping-area?venueTypeId=1 DAY HIKERS - Yes it is possible to do this as a day hike but you will need to organise an uber from Somerville Road to Hornsby train station, or walk 35 minutes up the road and catch the 596 bus. Please plan your transport carefully if you do this. DAY 2 - We will pack up early and head to Berowra Waters where there are some beautiful views, but this is a day for ups and downs with some serious climbs and descents, so pack light and make sure you plan your food well for this trip. Day 2 takes us through to Cowan, where we can stop at the local cafe if it is open, but the trail emerges opposite Cowan Train Station, making it easy to catch public transport back to Sydney. **Distance/Grade** 36km over 2 days - VERY HARD **Transport** Thornleigh train station is where we will meet at the start of the walk and we finish the walk on day 2 at Cowan station for the trip back to Sydney. **Please note** * This is a full backpack hike, you should have all your own gear and be a competent hiker, prepared to stay overnight. * Yes you can join as a day hiker on either day, but you would need to plan your transport carefully. * Day 1 is challenging, but day 2 is even harder with a lot of hills, so please pack light and make sure you are fit enough to keep up with the group. Payment is required at time of RSVP $40 fee applies to this event payable at time of RSVP PayID is 0432232143 Damon Bailey or BSB 182182 account 011554425 ref: Your meetup profile name.

Frequently asked questions

Meetup facilitates the discovery of local groups and events centered around shared interests. Whether you're into bushcraft or any other hobby, it's a platform to meet like-minded individuals and engage in community gatherings.

To find bushcraft events in Sydney, search for outdoor groups in the area on Meetup. You can then join these groups and get updates on upcoming events, making it easy to participate in the local bushcraft scene.

Yes, you can join multiple groups on Meetup. If bushcraft is one of your interests, you can belong to a bushcraft group as well as other outdoor interest groups, providing a variety of activities and networking opportunities.

Bushcraft events typically welcome all skill levels. Before attending, check the event details for any specific skill requirements, but most organizers cater their activities to include beginners as well as experienced outdoors enthusiasts.

Absolutely! If there's interest in forming a bushcraft group in Sydney, you can start your own Meetup group. This allows you to organize events, gather like-minded individuals, and share your passion for outdoor skills.

Not all Meetup events are outdoors. While bushcraft events may take place in natural settings, the platform also offers a wide range of indoor events across different categories. It's all about connecting with people over shared interests.

Meetup is free to join, but some events may have participation fees. This varies by group and organizer, so check event listings for any cost details. Generally, the opportunity to join groups and discover events is free.

Event frequency depends on the availability and activity of groups in your area. Some bushcraft groups may have regular schedules, while others organize events less frequently. Consider joining multiple groups to increase event options.

RSVPing for an event is usually required to ensure you're accounted for and that the organizers can effectively manage the event details. Be sure to check each event's RSVP policy when planning to attend.

Bushcraft groups operate by organizing events and activities focused on survival skills and outdoor living. They provide knowledge-sharing opportunities and usually include hands-on practice. Group longevity varies by active participation and leadership.

While Meetup increases your chances to connect with others, forming friendships depends on your active participation and engagement. Building connections comes through shared experiences, so attend regularly and interact with other members.

Event safety is often an organizer’s priority, but it’s good to check details and ratings on the Meetup listing. It's essential for participants to follow safety guidelines and ensure personal preparedness for outdoor activities.

Some bushcraft groups might offer online sessions, especially for skills that can be discussed or demonstrated through virtual meetings. However, hands-on practice is better experienced in-person for this particular interest.

In bushcraft, you'll learn varied outdoor survival skills, like shelter-building, fire-making, foraging, and navigation. Each event may cover different aspects, led by experienced organizers keen on sharing knowledge.

The variety of groups is contingent on local demand and interests in Sydney. While there may be many active groups, the choice relies on existing communities, so explore other outdoor or survival-themed groups for broader options.
