Blood Drives Melbourne

*FREE* - Blood on the Clocktower - Beginners Welcome @North Melbourne Library

We're back! At the North Melbourne Library on Errol St. We'll aim to have 30 minutes of introduction and tutorial, with a 6pm start to our first game, so please be ON TIME. **What to Expect:** Blood on the Clocktower is a social deduction game requiring a storyteller to take a roughly a dozen people through a series of "days and nights" where townspeople try to identify and hunt down a *demon* before they become the hunted. **Beginners welcome!** You don't need to know how to play **AT ALL**, so please invite a friend, we will run a tutorial for those who need it. **NOTE** BOTC requires fluent English, the crux of this game is communication and deception. **2 Strike Policy** Late-leavers: attendees who cancel within 24 hours of the event. No-shows: attendees who mark themselves as “going” but don’t turn up. Someone who does either of these once will be forgiven but flagged. On a second offence, they will be removed. Long-time regulars will be afforded some leniency. Legitimate reasons will be considered for leniency.

Biological Evidence for Reincarnation

**With 1000s of spontaneous cases with children** investigated and documented over the past 60+ years, the team at DOPS has accumulated a formidable body of evidence suggestive of reincarnation. The types of evidence include detailed memories of verified past lives, personal traits, skills, interests and phobias, etc. and among these the most compelling aspect is cases of birthmarks and birth defects that align with injuries sustained in the previous life, often at the time of death. **In this session, Russ Townsend** will lead a discussion around spontaneous past-life memories in children, how they are investigated and verified, common objections and refutations, and then a number of detailed case studies related to birthmarks and birth defects. At the conclusion, he will walk through the interpretations and theories about this phenomenon. **About Russ:** * Meetup Organiser * Lifelong interest in science, philosophy, and spirituality * Member of AIPR * Trainer / Facilitator * ex-radio show host * Wannabe Academic * Pretend intellectual, friends with some really smart PhD people * Author with permanent writers block **Post-Event Social Lunch Hangout (12.45 - 1.45pm)** NOTE: TRYING OUT NEW LUNCH VENUE... Afterwards, you are invited to lunch with everyone at **Gopal's Restaurant** (5min walk from the venue) **PLEASE NOTE:** * **11AM Start -** Please be considerate and arrive early. * **$10 Cover Charge:** Room hire, facilities, and running costs.

WILSN 'Bloom Album Tour'

Ukrainian Dinner

Join us for a Ukrainian feast at Otakoi in Windsor! We have organised a delectable set menu to try as much of the menu as possible. The set menu will cost $90 including soft drinks but not alcohol. Please pay the full amount when confirming attendance. We will cover the bill excluding alcohol with the payment. Pay via payID to Alex, my details will be in the confirmation questions.

‘Leave it to us’ menu at Etta

The team at Etta humbly describe it as ‘a little neighbourhood restaurant with a big heart’ but with various accolades, including previously winning Gourmet Traveller’s Restaurant of the Year (Vic) and a Chef’s Hat, Etta is more than just a quiet local spot in Brunswick East. The food is fresh and seasonal, and brings people together over shared plates. I booked the Chef’s High Table for 8 Fine Diners to enjoy the ‘leave it to us’ 4-course menu at $115 per person for dinner from 6.45pm on Friday 8 May. There is the option to add matching wines on the night for $85. 
Join the waitlist to express interest. Once I have names in the waitlist, I’ll send you a ‘Meetup Message’ to confirm you have a spot and how to pay. You’ll need to send me $50 to secure your place (equivalent to the cancellation fee - this will be deducted from your bill when we settle up). Once paid I’ll move you from the waitlist to going. Please check that you don’t have your settings blocking messages; if I can’t contact you I’ll have to move on to the next person. Also if you don’t respond to my message within 3 days, I’ll let you know that I’m offering the seat to the next person on the waitlist. 
Thanks and I’m looking forward to sharing some delicious food at Etta with you!

Crown Chakra Reiki Practice Night

Namaste, healer. It's time to light up the seventh chakra. It's where higher connection, spiritual awareness, and clear consciousness all come together. And when it's humming, life just flows better. Hence, our Reiki Crown Chakra Healing Night, where we'll do powerful meditations and group healing to strengthen it. The crown chakra is especially important for healers, because it's the chakra that connects us to healing energy itself .So without it being strong and open, the energy simply can't flow properly Among other things, the crown chakra is essential for: * Spiritual awareness (so you can sense the bigger picture and feel guided in your life) * A sense of connection to something greater (so you feel supported rather than alone in the world) * Inner knowing (so you can access wisdom beyond the thinking mind) * Mental clarity (so you can think cleanly without getting tangled up in your own head) * Living in alignment with your higher purpose (so your daily life reflects what actually matters to you) So come and join us for a powerful practice night and leave feeling energetically open and clearly connected. I'm back from holiday, so will be leading this personally. Hope you can make it, Jeremy PS If you've been craving a deeper dive into Reiki, our June retreat on our 50-acre property is the perfect chance. Discover esoteric symbols, Reiki vortexes, forest meditations, a cacao ceremony, and powerful group healing. It's an immersive weekend where you’ll learn advanced skills you won't get from any regular class. For full details, visit: https://www.om-reiki.com.au/reiki-retreats.html.

See Hokum at Century City Glen Waverley

[Tickets](https://villagecinemas.com.au/order/seats?cinemaId=311&sessionId=468401) **Some doors are meant to stay locked.** When novelist Ohm Bauman retreats to a remote Irish inn to scatter his parents’ ashes, the staff’s tales of an ancient witch haunting the honeymoon suite take hold of his mind. Soon, disturbing visions and a shocking disappearance draw Ohm into a nightmarish confrontation with the darkest corners of his past.
