Social – Welcome to new members & catch up for regulars - City
Wed, Jul 15, 8:00 AMNever been to one of our meet-ups before? Been a member for a while or just joined? Either way this is the social for you! Once a month we hold a special meet-up to welcome in new members. Regulars are encouraged to attend and help new members have a fun night out! Our monthly “newbie” social is an opportunity to learn about our groups, events held and resources to help members. More importantly it is an opportunity to meet others going through separation & divorce in a safe and friendly environment. We can all learn from each other, but the primary aim of the socials is to enjoy ourselves! Our socials are hosted by members of the Divorce Support & Social Group and the Melbourne Divorce Support Group. We pay for own food and drinks individually. On Wednesday nights the Royal Melbourne has $20 pizza and pasta specials. Great food and great company. We hope to see you!

Late lunch + Gratitude Walk
Sat, Jul 18, 3:30 AMI've been wanting to combine two of my favourite things - good plant-based food and time outdoors with good humans - so here we go. We're starting with lunch at **Cockatoo Kitchen, 60 Bridge Road, Richmond** \- Asian / Thai\, 100% vegan \(bonus points if you've been craving a good curry\)\. Come hungry\, come as you are\. We've already got 8 people RSVPd, so we'll be grabbing takeaway and heading to nearby Yarra Park to eat together on the picnic tables / grass - perfect for a sunny day. Once we've met, greeted and eaten, we'll wander towards the Royal Botanic Gardens for a **gratitude walk** \- takes about 30 minutes to get there\, easy pace\, no fitness level required\. If you've never done one, here's the shape of it: * Leave the phone in your pocket (or on silent) - just for this bit * Notice 3 things you can see… 3 things you can hear… 2 things you can feel (the breeze, the sun on your skin)… 1 thing you can smell * Appreciate the small stuff - comfy shoes, a nice tree, someone's laugh * Silently reflect, or say your thanks out loud as you go - whatever feels natural Gratitude and stress genuinely can't hold the same space in your brain at once - so this is 30 minutes of your nervous system getting a proper break, dressed up as a nice walk. Feel free to bring a journal (optional) - once we're in the gardens, there'll be a chance to share gratitude for what you're calling in, as if it's already happened. Eg - if you're wanting new friends, you might share that you're grateful you've met some like-minded people who you now catch up with regularly… that you laugh a lot together… that it feels easy. Speak it like it's already yours. Once we reach the gardens, no pressure to stick around as a group - keep chatting with whoever you've clicked with, explore solo, or head off and get on with your Saturday. **Details** 📍 Cookatoo Kitchen, 60 Bridge Road, Richmond 🕜 Saturday 18th July, 1:30pm 🥗 100% vegan, Asian/Thai menu 🚶♀️ Gratitude walk to follow (\~30 min to the Botanic Gardens) Come as you are - conversation's an invitation here, never an obligation. Can't wait to see who shows up.
