Hello everyone, We're starting our outdoor pickleball meetups in **Mississauga** area! Please keep in mind that even though we gather at public courts, **we may not always be able to play together as a group**. Every court has its own rules. Most often, players line up their paddles in a designated area and wait for their turn. A game must begin within 3 minutes, and after each game, **all four players must exit the court** and line up their paddles again for the next round. Please bring your **paddle, court shoes, towel, and water**. Also, don’t forget **sunscreen or a hat** to protect yourself from the sun. See you on the court! **Friendly Reminder: Open Play for All Levels** This is a loosely organized event designed for everyone to enjoy. Beginners are more than welcome! * **No Fixed Groups:** You don't need a team of four to participate. * **Mix & Mingle:** You’re free to play with anyone at the courts. Just check in with other Meetup members and say hello! * **Drills & Practice:** If we're short on numbers for a game, it's a great chance to practice dinking or rallying. Just come out, meet new people, and have fun!

Created by the team behind multiple Fringe hits. Click on "read more" below for full details. 📅 **Today's Schedule** ***SOLD OUT 4 p.m.*** **[Many Happy Returns](https://fringetoronto.com/fringe/show/many-happy-returns)** *Adventure – Unconventional Venue* * Winner of No Proscenium's 2025 Audience Award for Outstanding Immersive Work, making it one of the most acclaimed immersive productions in this year's Fringe. * Directed by Julie Cohn, whose previous immersive production *Meet Cute* won Best of Fringe, and creator of *Sorry 'Bout That*, a Fringe Top 5 selection. * Unlike a traditional play, this interactive time-travel adventure changes based on audience decisions, meaning every performance is unique and many attendees return multiple times to experience different storylines. * Feel free to dress up in 1920s garb! * This is a Canadian Actors' Equity Association production. * **[Video](https://youtu.be/ViPDQTRUQCg)** * Society Clubhouse – 967 College Street (Dovercourt-College/Dufferin) * **[MAP](google.com/maps/place/967+College+St,+Toronto,+ON+M6H+1A6/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x882b34578a446d63:0x19d8c07c53748562?sa=X&ved=1t:242&ictx=111)** * 90 mins * Ends: 5:30 p.m. *** 🎟️ **How to Attend** * **Step 1:** Sign up on this Meetup event page. * **Step 2:** Purchase your own Fringe ticket(s) by clicking on the show link above and selecting the date/time we are going.

**NO MUSICAL EXPERIENCE REQUIRED** **About Drum & Soul** Drum & Soul is a participatory community space that combines drumming, singing, reflection and conversation in one shared experience. Through rhythms from different cultures, collective music making and meaningful discussion around a focused theme, we practise qualities that strengthen both the individual and the community. This is more than a drumming circle. It is a space where people can grow in expression, presence, listening, and contribution, while learning how these same qualities can be carried into everyday life and relationships. --- ... **Why come** Come if you want to grow your expressive capacity, feel more at ease participating with others, and be part of a growing space that celebrates the human in us. Everyone is welcome, regardless of age, background or musical experience. If you feel shy in groups, that is completely natural. Many people arrive unsure and leave feeling surprisingly at home. --- ... **How it works** --- We begin with a short breathing and centring exercise, followed by simple rhythm demonstration and call and response drumming. We then move into smaller group discussion around a shared theme. From there we shift into collective jamming and improvisation, and end with a potluck meal and informal connection. --- ... **Typical meeting flow** 1. 🫱🏽‍🫲🏻 Arrival & social time – 15 min 2. 🙋🏻‍♀️ Welcome, check in and centring – 15 min 3. 🪘 Call & Respond **Drumming & demo** – 20 min 4. 💬 Facilitated **Discussion** on the Theme (groups of five-or so) – 20 min 5. 🕺🏽 Open **Jamming** with multiple instruments – 30 min 6. 🦋 Potluck **dinner** & social time afterwards – 60 min *This outline is flexible and may shift to suit the group and the space.* --- ... **Logistics & what to bring** Our next Drum & Soul gathering will be held outdoors in the park. If the weather turns rainy, we will move the gathering to our usual indoor location (you'll be notified in the comment section of any changes). Since outdoor seating is limited, please bring a lawn chair or picnic blanket if you can. Drums are available on a first come, first served basis, and we will also provide plenty of small percussion instruments so every hand can play. You are welcome to bring your own drum or instrument. We end the evening with a shared **potluck meal**, an extension of the circle where conversation and connection continue. Since the event is free, we warmly ask everyone to bring a small item to share if they are able. Simple finger foods and easy to serve savoury items are especially helpful, such as fruit, veggies and dip, wraps, sandwiches, hummus and pita, samosas, spring rolls, crackers and cheese, or other meal friendly bites. Sweet items are welcome too, but meal friendly contributions are especially appreciated. --- ... **Cost & contributions** --- This is a free event. If you are unable to bring food, you are welcome to make an optional contribution toward refreshments and materials by e-transfer to **hooshmandnyc@gmail.com** --- ... **Helpful notes** --- No prep needed. Doors open at 3:45 p.m. Please arrive by then so we can start at 4:00 p.m. sharp and keep the flow. Location and any last minute updates are posted on Meetup and in our WhatsApp group. We recommend joining the WhatsApp group (ask us for the link at the venue) for quick notices. --- ... **Life Between Gatherings** Drum & Soul does not begin and end with the monthly session. For those who want to continue beyond the gatherings and go deeper, we also have: • **Advanced sessions** for those who want to go further in drumming technique and explore the discussion themes more deeply in a smaller group • **Home or café meetups** for simple in-person connection, where a few participants can continue the conversation more personally and naturally • **Ongoing contact** so the spirit of the gathering can carry into everyday life through our own reflection, friendship and mutual encouragement Over time, these smaller spaces help strengthen connection, shared learning, and community life between sessions. Ask us about these features for more detail. --- ... **Why this matters** Our world is like a sick body, and is aching for a lasting remedy. We believe our special mission here is to nurture one another, define our roles in service to our fellow humans, and become living temples of unity. A meaningful growth unfolds through both self‑discovery and collective effort, and one cannot truly flourish without the other. Come open and prepared to learn, to offer your gifts, and to be strengthened by the power of community. *This ad is also posted in other groups* 📷 Follow us on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/artsoultoronto/) 🎥 [A glimpse from one of our sessions](https://youtu.be/ejfeV1PF-0k)

Want to learn pickleball in a fun, low-pressure setting? I’m hosting a free beginner-friendly meetup at Olentangy Parklands to help new players learn the basics and get comfortable on the court. I’m a pretty skilled player and will walk everyone through the essentials, including rules, scoring, serving, basic strategy, and how to start playing real games. No experience needed. We’ll meet on the upper courts. Bring a pickleball paddle if you have one. If not, no problem, I’ll have some extras available for people to use. This event is meant for beginners and anyone curious about trying pickleball for the first time. Come ready to move, learn, and have fun.
