Coffee Mornings Melbourne

🌿 Living the Circle: Circular Economy INSIDE | Part 1 of 5

Since launching The Eco-Impact Tribe over a year ago, we’ve explored different aspects of sustainability together. Now, it’s time to go a little deeper. Introducing **Living the Circle**, a five-part awareness series exploring the circular economy. For our first session, **Circular Economy INSIDE**, we’ll explore what a circular economy really means, why it matters and how it connects to our everyday lives. I’m delighted to co-facilitate this series with Osh, a sustainability professional with a Master’s in Sustainability from Deakin University and a research background in circular economy and food waste management. This isn’t about sitting through a lecture! Expect relaxed conversations, interactive activities, questions, a few games and plenty of opportunities to exchange ideas, expand our thinking and learn from each other. 🌱 To keep the conversation interactive places are limited to around 20 people. 📍 **Meeting Point:** Au79 Café, Abbotsford ☕ **Plan for the afternoon** * **1:00 pm** \| Arrival\, food and drink orders\, and casual introductions * **1:30 pm** \| Fun\, interactive activity * **2:00 pm** \| Group discussion and sharing ideas * **3:00 pm** \| Wrap\-up To support the venue, please purchase a coffee and/or something to eat. 😊 📸 A few photos may be taken for community sharing. If you’d prefer not to be included, just let the host know at the start.

Run/Walk: Run 5km OR Walk 3.5km + Coffee at Kanteen

Morning runs are back for Spring! **NOTE:** Meet at 9:25am for a 9:30am start. This will be part of a longer run for me, so I will start at 9:30am sharp - no waiting for this week so **please arrive before 9:30am** or catchup at Kanteen. Join in if you're free and want to kick start the day with an easy 5k run and a coffee. This is an easy 5km run where you can choose your own pace. The map above is the running trail. * Start at the Richmond Boulie Carpark on the Yarra Trail. * Run along the Northern bank of the Yarra river * **Cross over at Punt Rd** to the South bank of the Yarra river * Run along the South bank heading East until you reach Kanteen We finish at Kanteen for a coffee and/or a snack before slowly walking 1.8km back to the start. The meals at Kanteen are quite good and the nice outdoor area. My pace varies between 6:00 min/km to 6:30 min/km depending on how I'm feeling but there's no need to stay in a group. The trail is easy to follow and we all meet at the end so you can choose to go faster or take your time. If you're not a runner, you can choose to walk and start a few minutes early, cross over at Church Street which is \~3.5km walk and aim to arrive at Kanteen at around 30 minutes after the start - but **message** **me beforehand** to arrange so I don't wait for you at the start if you choose this option. The start has a convenient car-park and Burnley Station is not far. **MEETING LOCATION** Meet at the Richmond Boulie Carpark. https://maps.app.goo.gl/m8WDEkWvLL37d5GP6 There's a second carpark a little further down the road if the first carpark is full, but walk back to the carpark above for the meeting point. https://maps.app.goo.gl/uU3e26ZvvAQkgBxQ7 Tap on the map below to get the pin location for the exact meeting spot. **LIABILITY WAVER** The organiser of this group cannot accept any liability for any loss, damage, injury or accidents to participants or their property on this event.

Run + coffee

\*When?\* 8am every Saturday \*Where?\* Parkville parkrun: https://maps.app.goo.gl/WcaekGkh6S1DVK9Q7 \*🥳 Is it your first time?\* We start gathering around 7:50am. We run with parkrun (a larger event with 500+ participants). There's a first timer's briefing. You don't need to sign up but you can get a free barcode at https://www.parkrun.com.au/ to get your time/stats tracked. parkrun is 5km, but you can also just run your own lap of 3km or whatever you like. We don't all run as a group (but some do). We meet after. We gather in the park until 8:45ish, then grab ☕🥐 afterwards at a nearby café. RSVP below if you're new, and we'll reach out to make sure you can find us easily ☺️ \*🤝 How do I find you?\* We gather in the park after the run until \~8.45am. Some of us are here early (7:45am) too. Just ask here on the day if you don't find us 😊 \*👯 Can I bring a friend?\* Yes! Many bring along friends or +1s (but we're not that scary so you don't need to!)

Coffee, Chat & Challenges

Weather permitting: Let's meet at Coulson Gardens at the Maribyrnong River. In the event of bad weather, I will announce a new location on the day, but will remain local to the Maribyrnong area. Enjoy a coffee and light refreshment on me and take a load off at the allocated area (to be confirmed on the day). Just bring your experiences and let's just have an informal chat where I will be taking notes and gathering insights into your pain points regarding admin roles in your business. No personal information will be recorded or shared with other parties, your details remain strictly confidential and are only used by myself for research purposes. I aim to gain an understanding on how my current services can be tailored even further to help small businesses struggling at the moment. See you there!

Coffee & Dreams: Share Your Dreams Freely Over a Cup

☕ Let’s grab coffee and talk about what really matters: Our Dreams. Whether you’re already working on a dream, afraid to start, or have something you’ve never said out loud before, Coffee & Dreams is a relaxed space to share it. Sometimes the first step towards a dream isn’t having a perfect plan. It’s simply saying it out loud. There’s no pressure to have everything figured out, and you can share as much or as little as you like. 🤔 Why come? • Share your dream, or simply listen • Hear what others are building and dreaming about • Encourage someone else’s journey • Meet people with different experiences and perspectives • Maybe take your own first step by saying your dream out loud ☕ What to expect Coffee & Dreams is a small community meetup built around meaningful conversations. You don’t need to have a perfect plan, a big achievement, or even know exactly what your dream is yet. You can come with an idea, a question, a curiosity, or simply an open mind. Everyone is welcome, and we ask everyone to help make the space comfortable for others by respecting personal space, listening when someone is speaking, and giving everyone room to be heard. You are never expected to share anything you’re not comfortable sharing. This is a community conversation, not a counselling or support group. Bring yourself, a smile, and a dream. ☕ 🌱 A space to connect Sometimes a meaningful conversation with someone you’ve just met can change how you see your own journey. Coffee & Dreams is about creating those moments. No networking pitch. No pressure to impress anyone. No need to have everything figured out. Just coffee, dreams, and genuine conversations. ☕ Come join us Whether you’re building something, exploring an idea, thinking about a change, or simply curious about what other people are dreaming about, you’re welcome to join us. Spots are limited, so click Attend. Looking forward to hearing your dreams! ☕✨ ☕ Stay connected Coffee & Dreams is growing beyond our regular meetups, with more meetups, events, workshops, and collaborations happening in the future. If you’d like to stay up to date with what’s happening in the Coffee & Dreams community, follow our LinkedIn page: [Coffee & Dreams Meetup on LinkedIn⁠](https://www.linkedin.com/company/coffee-&-dreams-meetup/) **More coffee. More dreams. More conversations.**
