Namaste Healers. Do you have topics you don't want to talk about? What about people and past events you don't want to think about? Over time, many of us accumulate thousands of small hurts that we carry around in our energy body – hurts that dampen our mood, sap our energy, and emotionally weigh us down. And here is the thing: time doesn't heal them. All it does is bury them. So we might think we've gotten over them, but then we hear a pop song, cast our eyes over an old photo album, taste a wine we shared with an ex, and our heart tightens, and we feel the pain of unresolved emotions. At this Reiki practice night, through both group Reiki and meditation exercises, we'll study techniques for healing the past so we can enjoy a brighter present. So come along. Begin clearing out the emotional gunk in the system, and leave feeling lighter and happier. Hope to see you there! Jeremy ## Time to Expand Your Reiki with Pellowah Healing?

As a group it has been years since we last explored this former jail and current museum on Russell St. Tickets are between $30-$38 per person. I suggest you get your ticket the day before in the event we have to postpone it. [https://www.oldmelbournegaol.com.au/](https://www.oldmelbournegaol.com.au/) After the visit to the Gaol, we will go on a mystery photography activity (which I haven't figured out yet - in short it's a mystery even for me at this stage). The Mystery Photography activity is now resolved and I have now adjusted the start and finish times. See below for the draft schedule. **DRAFT SCHEDULE** 10.00am - Meet in front of the Old Melbourne Gaol for welcome and introduction. 10.10am - Explore Old Melbourne Gaol 12.00pm - Re-group at the entrance of the Gaol. 12.15pm - Head to St Kilda Esplanade for the St Kilda Festival (Mystery Photography Activity) [https://www.stkildafestival.com.au/](https://www.stkildafestival.com.au/) 1.15pm - Re group in front of Luna Park and grab a bite at the festival 2.00pm - Enjoy the Festival at the St Kilda Beach 3.30pm - Re group (if you wish) at the start of the St Kilda Beach 4.30pm - Event ends. **Transport from Melbourne Gaol to St Kilda** Keep in mind that parking is not easy at St Kilda beach but I personally park on Nepean Highway near Alma Road. Some of you may wish to catch a tram from the city to St Kilda. Post on this page if you have ideas for transport and parking. Look forward to having you join us at the Melbourne Gaol and St Kilda Festival. Rowan

A hands-on session exploring n8n, the open source workflow automation tool. We will install it, build a simple automation, and experiment with connecting services and local AI models. **About the Event** Let’s Hello World is a simple idea. We pick an open source tool and begin. Not a deep dive. Not a polished workshop. Just a focused session to install it, try it, and build something small together. The goal is to get past the hardest step: beginning. **n8n** n8n is an open source workflow automation tool that lets you connect services, APIs, and scripts into repeatable workflows. During this session we will: \- Run n8n locally \- Explore the interface \- Build a basic workflow \- Connect to at least one real service No prior experience required. If you have been meaning to try n8n but have not made the time, this is your chance. Bring a laptop and curiosity.

🧭 Prioritising What Matters Most In January, we did the **Vision Boarding** workshop 🖼️ Big ideas. Big feelings. Big “ah yes, this is the life” energy. And then… Monday happened. 😐 This workshop is about what comes **after** the vision: 👉 **What do you actually do next when everything feels important and your brain has simply left the chat?** If your to-do list currently: * Stares back at you menacingly 👁️ * Has items from 2019 still “in progress” * Feels like a moral judgement instead of a tool ✨ welcome ✨ We’re taking your existing vision and turning it into **clear priorities and doable tasks**, without shame, hustle, or pretending you’re powered by unlimited spoons. ### 🛠️ What we’ll do (chaos → clarity pipeline) * Use **values** as a decision filter (not a personality test, promise) 🧽 * Narrow things down to **3–5 values that matter *right now*** (everyone else can wait) * Do a quick **life audit** to find where your energy is thriving vs. quietly escaping through the vents 🪫 * Translate all that into: * A short list of priorities that actually deserve your time 🎯 * Habits that won’t immediately start a rebellion 😤 * One-off tasks with a suspiciously high payoff 💥 * Apply the **TOP framework** (Time-pressure × Outcome ÷ Perspiration) so you’re not spinning the “what should I do?” wheel every day 🎡 ### 💬 Plot twist: you will talk to people This is a **social workshop** 🤝 There will be: * Pair chats * Occasional “oh wow same” moments No forced sharing. No spotlight anxiety. You can participate by talking, listening, nodding, or aggressively highlighting your worksheet. All valid. ### 🧠 Who it’s for Neurodivergent folks (ADHD, autistic, AuDHD, gloriously neurospicy 🌶️) who: * Came to the Vision Boarding workshop and want the *actual follow-through (but it's ok if you didn't come to it 😅)* * Have a vision but a to-do list that has become a cry for help 🆘 * Are tired of productivity systems that assume you wake up refreshed and motivated every day ### 📍 The extremely important logistics 🗓 **Sunday 15 February** ⏰ **1.30pm – 3.30pm** 📍 **Sandringham Library** Worksheets provided ✍️ No pressure to overshare 🙅 Low-energy attendance fully respected 😴💚 Same vision. Fewer tabs. Better priorities. Let’s make your to-do list less cursed. 🪄🧠
