Name: Exploring the fun and creativity of the Maitland Riverlights Festival
Start: 2025-10-11T07:00:00.000Z
Location: Riverlink Building

Join me for an early morning walk along Wellington's beautiful waterfront, followed by coffee together at one of the beach-side cafes. Browse the Sunday markets afterwards with food truck kai & live buskers

For people who enjoy a peaceful start to the day by the ocean and some warm company to enjoy afterwards, all within the creative, colourful, food paradise background of the Sunday Morning Markets.

Dogs are welcome and in winter Oriental Bay is leash-free, so they can enjoy a play on the beach.

The Harbourside Markets are Wellington's best weekly market, with a huge range of fresh produce stalls, artisan and conscious food producers, crafts and sweet treats as well as a mouthwatering range of food trucks serving the best street food and coffee, accompanied by fantastic live music artists.

AGENDA
We'll meet at 'Solace in the Wind' The Naked Man sculpture (pictured) at the back of Te Papa on the boardwalk. I'll be there from 7:45am and we start walking at 8:00am.
We'll walk across the bridge past the marina, follow the waterline by the boat sheds and out to the concrete slab headland for views, then along Oriental Bay to the fountain.
Depending on the weather and the group, on the way back we may wander on to the beach for a paddle or play with the dogs, if it's fine we can coffee at Gelissimo right on Freyberg beach, or be a little cosier inside at Raglan Roast. We finish at the markets for those that wish to browse, eat, shop and enjoy the live buskers.

\*We'll go ahead rain or shine! So bring whatever you need to be warm and dry :)

\*This is a dog-friendly event.

When you RSVP I will be in touch in the Direct Messages feature and can go over any information or questions you might have and I will also be available in the comments section on the day.

Join me for a nature walk in the stunning Wildlife Sanctuary at The Briars in Mt Martha to experience native Australian flora and fauna in a protected environment.

We will begin this outdoor adventure by walking to the bird hides to observe the water birds in their wetland habitat.
From there we will follow the Woodland Walk track which has panoramic views of the wetland system and surrounding hills, and travels through beautiful native vegetation such as dense scrub, grasslands and Manna Gum woodlands. Along the way we may encounter native animals such as echidnas, emus, kangaroos and wallabies.

The sanctuary is part of the larger Briars property, which has a unique combination of historical value and natural beauty. We can explore the interpretive displays in the visitors centre that explain the ecology of the area and the property's colonial history, including its connection to Napoleon Bonaparte's family.

Afterward we can sit and relax in the picnic area together. Bring your own drinks and snacks to enjoy.

The walk will be 4km all up and take us around 1hour 30mins. This is a moderate walk with occasional steps and uphill sections. We will walk at a moderate pace with stops along the way.

**Agenda**

* I will meet you outside The Briars Visitor’s Centre at 10am.
* We will have time to chat and make new friends before heading into the Wildlife Sanctuary at 10.10am
* From there we will walk to the bird hides and then along the Woodland Walk track.
* After that we will explore the visitors centre, and then have a drink and a snack in the picnic area.

**Location**
The Briars is located at 450 Nepean Highway, Mt Martha. Travel time by car from Melbourne is approximately one hour.

If travelling by Public Transport take the Frankston train line, with trains arriving from Melbourne every 10 minutes. Connect to Bus 788 towards Portsea which leaves from Frankston Station every 40 minutes. The nearest bus stop to The Briars is at Balcombe Grammar School 100 metres away.
Allow at least 2 hours travel time each way via public transport from Melbourne.

We will be using questions from the Thoughtstorm® Manual to explore the topic: ** **

How did Thoughtstorm come about?

Thoughtstorm is a technique developed from a seed of speculation:
Are there more effective (rational, cooperative, compassionate) ways of thinking? Methods whose long-term consequences will not lead to oblivion. This is the Genesis of Thoughtstorm.

Insights

Would you like to discover another way of looking at things? Would you like to be inspired and develop your consciousness? Would you like to have fun?

Then we'd love to see you there! New insights guaranteed!

What is it?

What is experienced is a forgotten sensory ability-mind-linking. Creative energies explode and there's a marriage of creativity and compassion.
The direction moves from a narrow range of possibility into discovering corecepts where individual minds merge into a much more powerful cooperative awareness and a deeper, more compassionate comprehension of reality.

Because this process taps into abilities already present in the human mind and into aggregates of consciousness straining to express themselves, very little practice is required.

If it's your first time to Thoughtstorm, please RSVP early to give plenty of time to arrange a brief Zoom call with the host to go over the Thoughtstorm procedures and location information.

Join me to discover the creativity and cultural diversity of the Maitland Riverlights Festival. Together with new and old friends we’ll explore this vibrant festival and its celebration of food, music, dance and art making that stretches along the Levee Central and the Riverwalk in the heart of Maitland.

The festival brings together people from up to 50 different nations to share and celebrate their cultural heritage. We’ll have the opportunity to experience the array of traditional performing arts, as well as enjoying food tastings and the lantern making fun. We’ll also have time to appreciate the exciting program of live music performances at the main stage surrounded by a myriad of colourful lanterns and banners.

There’ll be time to enjoy conversation at the Lavender Café overlooking the river and relax with a coffee and something to eat. Then the highlight of the evening’s entertainment will be the Lantern Parade, and seeing the magic of hundreds of lantern lights adrift on the Coquun-Hunter River.

This is a family friendly event. We’ll go ahead whether it’s fine or raining.

**Agenda**
Entry to the festival is free.

I’ll meet you at 6pm at the Riverlink Building on the Levee Central side.

We’ll set out at 6.15pm and go through the Riverlink and turn onto the Riverwalk. We’ll make our way past the many stalls towards the Riverside Carpark and the main stage area where we can enjoy the diversity of stage performances.

On the return walk we’ll stop at the Lavender Café to relax, socialise with friends and enjoy something to eat and drink.

We’ll then find a good vantage point on the riverbank for viewing the Lantern Parade that begins at 8pm.
