Port Melbourne Walks – Fresh Air, Friendly Faces
Looking to get outside, clear your head, and connect with good people? Join us for a relaxed walk around the beautiful streets and coastline of Port Melbourne.
This is a casual meetup—no fitness goals, no pressure. Just a friendly stroll, good conversation, and a reason to step away from screens and into the fresh air. Whether you’re new in town, working from home, or just want a social reason to walk, you’re very welcome.
Come as you are. Comfy shoes, water bottle, and curiosity are all you need.
**Optional:** After the walk, some of us might grab a coffee nearby — feel free to join if you’re up for it!
9am Christmas Morning Meditation in Edinborough Gardens, Fitzroy North.
**About the Session -** *Light Within, Light Around.*
A warm Christmas morning meditation to help you begin the day with softness, inner brightness, and a sense of gentle companionship, no matter what your Christmas looks like this year. Before the energy, memories, or emotions of the day gather, this hour is a gentle way to settle into your body and connect with a quieter, steadier space inside yourself.
This session is especially supportive if you’re spending the day alone, navigating family dynamics, feeling tender or reflective, or simply wanting a moment of warmth and grounding before the day unfolds. We’ll be lying on the grass beneath the Christmas morning sky, allowing nature, breath, and stillness to soothe the nervous system and bring you back to yourself.
**This session is designed to help you:**
• Feel the warmth of your own inner light.
• Anchor into steadiness before a the day.
• Let the intensity of the season soften in your body.
• Regulate and calm your nervous system.
• Feel held, accompanied, and quietly supported by the morning.
**We’ll begin with Yoga Nidra,** a guided deep-rest practice where you simply lie down, get comfortable, and allow your body to soften. There is nothing to perform or achieve. Once you’re settled, staying still helps your system drop into deeper rest while I guide your awareness gently through the body, helping the mind unwind and open.
**From there, we’ll move into a visual meditation** themed around inner light, the glow within you that warms, steadies, and expands. Through imagery of sunlit warmth, gentle radiance, and a feeling of being held by both inner and outer light, this practice helps release emotional heaviness, invite comfort, and welcome the kind of companionship that comes from within. The experience is deeply soothing and designed for anyone who wants warmth, grounding, and presence on Christmas morning.
**No experience is needed,** this session is beginner-friendly and fully guided from start to finish.
***"Nothing can dim the light that shines from within."***
*-Maya Angelou.*
**When & Where:**
**🗓 Christmas Day - Wednesday 25 December**
**⏰ 9:00am - 10:00am**
**📍 Edinburgh Gardens, Fitzroy North**
We’ll set up on the grass behind the Rotunda - look for my yoga mat and the large pink sign that says “Free Guided Meditation.”
**Weather notes:**
This is an outdoor session. If the weather turns rainy, I’ll update the event listing beforehand - please check the Meetup page to make sure it’s still going ahead. Christmas mornings are usually calm and sunny, but Melbourne can always surprise us.
**What to bring:**
• Yoga mat or something to lie on
• Light blanket
• Eye covering or small pillow for comfort
• Water
• Comfortable clothing
(If you forget a mat, I’ll have spares with me 😊)
**Arriving and running late:**
Arriving a few minutes early helps you get settled and grounded before we begin. If you’re running late, please still join, just slip in quietly. You won’t disturb the practice 😊.
**Everyone is welcome.**
Whether you're spending Christmas morning alone, with family, feeling reflective, or simply wanting a moment of calm and warmth, this space is for you. A soft, grounding morning to breathe, rest, and reconnect with the light within you.
**I look forward to sharing this Christmas morning with you 🌿✨😊**

Join us for a cycle around the city to work off some of those Christmas excesses!
Dave will be jumping on the 7.58 train at Heatherdale Station (Belgrave line) which will get into Richmond about 8.33. The ride will kick off from Richmond Station around 8.45.
We will meet up outside Mr Hollywood Pizza on Swan Street just outside the Station. See pin here:
https://maps.app.goo.gl/6zweYoKknTQwe7VM8
We'll leave the Station and head South on Punt Road towards St Kilda. Then we will just see where it takes us! Maybe we'll do a lap around Albert Park lake, then head North West up towards Port Melbourne and continue on our way! We can just casually ride along for a few hour's exploring, and stop for a coffee and a bite to eat somewhere in the middle before heading back to Richmond Station!

**🚲 Eat, Drink & Dance Melbourne: The “Not‑Really‑a‑Cyclist” Bike Adventure**!
A super‑chill trial ride for absolute beginners, wobbly riders & the bike‑curious. Give yourself and hour or two to go from wobbly to having a quick ride around some of Melbourne!
For people without a bike try the city based bike hire company[Blue Tongue Bikes (Rental and Tours)](https://bluetonguebikes.com.au/)
Or bring your own.
Ready to see Melbourne from a whole new angle—the bike seat angle—without needing Lycra, fitness, or any idea what “cadence” means? This playful warm‑up ride is designed especially for people who don’t ride bikes… but like the idea of cruising, chatting, laughing, and discovering the city at a very easy pace.
Think of it as:
Eat. Drink. Dance. Pedal (gently).
**🌟 Where We Begin**
We’ll meet at Blue Tongue Bikes, Batman Park (King St & Flinders Lane).
If you don’t have a bike—no worries! You can hire one there for a few hours, or grab an e‑bike from other spots around the city.
If you need to hire a bike please get there 30 to 60 minutes beforehand to iron out all the hiring details with the shop or hire a bike the day before if you go elsewhere.
Just make sure you’ve had a little practice beforehand so you’re not learning from scratch on the day (unless you enjoy chaos, in which case… bold choice).
🌟 **What We’re Doing**
This is a 5 km-ish practice loop around Fishermans Bend, a flat, friendly circuit perfect for building confidence. We’ll roll back into Batman Park at the end—smiling, slightly sweaty, and feeling very Melbourne.
If the group is feeling good, we might extend the adventure toward St Kilda or nearby paths. Totally optional, totally vibe‑dependent.
🌟** **Why We’re Doing It****
This is the warm‑up for a bigger 30+ km Capital City Trail ride happening about a week later. Think of this as the “first date” before the “proper date.”
**🌟** Who It’s For****
- New riders
- Nervous riders
- Social riders
- People who haven’t touched a bike since primary school
- People who want to see Melbourne’s gorgeous bike paths without pressure
- People who want to meet fun humans and enjoy the city in a new way
🌟 **What to Bring**
- A helmet (non‑negotiable)
- Water
- A sprinkle of road‑rule awareness (we’ll mostly stick to bike paths)
- Your best “I‑might‑fall‑over-but-I’m‑still‑having-fun” attitude
Good idea to bring a lock for the bike
**🌟 Pace & Vibe**
Super easy. Super social. Zero ego.
If you’re a bit clutzy, that’s fine—we’ve all been there. We’ll help you out, cheer you on, and keep things relaxed.
