Coffee

Hello and welcome to the Women Out Walking group! 💚🥾 Join us for a casual walk around The Tan. Open to all women. It can be a great way to connect with other women nearby for future walks and catch-ups. Our next catch-up is tomorrow: 🌿🥾 Melbourne Women Out Walking Catch-Up Walk 🥾🌿 Hosted by Sheona & the Camino Women Hiking Community 💚 📅 17 June & 24 June ⏰ Meet at 9:15am for a 9:30am departure 📍 The Tan – meet near Fairness Hercules, St Kilda Rd, Melbourne 🚶‍♀️ Casual 3.8km walk around the park ☕ Coffee afterwards This is simply a lovely opportunity to connect with other women in the community, stretch your legs, share some stories, and enjoy a relaxed morning together. Feel free to join us.

### ☕ Common Grounds Melbourne *Come for the coffee, stay for the connections.* **Common Grounds Melbourne** has become a true home for connection, and we’re thrilled to keep the coffee and conversations flowing at, **Mr Sister Café in Malvern East**. With its warm, welcoming vibe, consistently great coffee, and an incredibly supportive team, Mr Sister Café is the perfect setting for our community to gather, connect, and thrive. If you’ve joined us before, you already know the magic. If not, consider this your official invitation. Co-hosted by the fabulous **Sandra and Eva**, our **FREE monthly morning meetups** are your go-to mid-month energy boost — a chance to step away from the hustle and reconnect with women who truly *get it*. ### What to Expect ✨ Relaxed, genuine conversations with like-minded women ✨ No pitches, no pressure — just real connection ✨ Inspiring stories and shared experiences ✨ A supportive space to network, share, and grow together We believe the most powerful connections are made over coffee, not in boardrooms. Our meetups are about celebrating the journey, not just the milestones. You’ll leave feeling energised, supported, and part of something truly special. ⏰ *Event time is **9:30am start (Melbourne local time)** — please allow for time zone differences in the Meetup App.* If you would like to book this event in your Calendar - [Click Here](https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/2?cid=Y184NWQ5YmM4NGVmZjlhNWRiNGE0YjgxOWY5NjMxOTgwN2I4NGNkZGY2NjRlMWRiZmRhZGExZDYyZDcyNTc1OWYzQGdyb3VwLmNhbGVuZGFyLmdvb2dsZS5jb20)

✨ **Singles** • **Jingles** • **Bubbles** & **Mingles** ✨ **IRL** **Dating** **When: Wednesday 17 June** **Time**: **6:00pm** – ~**8:30pm** **Where: Champagne** **Problems** — **238 Little Collins St, Melbourne. Best to enter round the back, where the outdoor seating is** Melbourne singles, assemble your charm, your curiosity, and your best “I swear I’m normal” smile — because we’re trying something new, something social, something IRL, and something that doesn’t involve swiping until your thumb develops a personality disorder. **Please** **note:** **there** **is** **a** **waitlist** ***operating,*** **read on** ***for*** **how** ***that*** **works**. This is a lightly curated social evening for single urban professionals 35–55 (or those who feel like it) who want to meet people in a relaxed, conversational, non‑algorithmic way. No one will be checking birth certificates at the door. **🍾The Setting** Champagne Problems is giving us the perfect mid‑week playground: Happy Hour 4pm–7pm — bubbles are only 8, ideal for pre‑chat courage $25 Steak Night — highly recommended Vegetarian + other options for the herbivores and the steak‑averse Dinner at 6:30pm — arrive from 6pm to warm up, sip something soothing, and ease into the room This is not a speed‑dating conveyor belt. It’s a social experiment in organic connection, gentle mingling, and seeing what happens when good people are in a good room at the same time. 🧭 **The** **Creep** ***Code*** A refined social compass keeps the vibe safe, fun, and drama‑free. So: No married individuals or those already coupled up No Tinder Swindler‑style minglers **Guys**: **Please Take Special Note** Must have a clear face photo (no sunglasses, no blurry shadows, no “mysterious man in witness protection”) No wide shots taken from a distance where you can't be identified. No yacht/car/jet flexing — if your profile screams “crypto‑adjacent”, you will be gently declined. If you are declined, update your profile photo to something less creepy. **Girls**: No restrictions — privacy and safety first Everyone will be waitlisted first, and I’ll accept those who meet survivor’s criteria (yes, that’s intentionally vague and slightly Hunger Games coded). Ok, I looked it up, it means those that have the emotional maturity and grace to navigate social spaces without drama and major diplomatic faux pas. Mmmm, maybe I should recuse myself😅. If you can act like a functional adult for 2+ hours, you probably meet the survivors criteria . 💘 **Flirtation** **Guidelines** This is a social event, not a pressure cooker.Don’t be pushy about numbers — let the moment offer itself If the vibe is mutual, go for it Become a regular — I’ll be testing this format over 3–4 events You’ll likely see the same lovely humans again at future singles nights/events or Eat Drink Dance “open” events The goal is to build a small, recurring ecosystem where people feel comfortable, familiar, and relaxed enough to be themselves. 👥**Group** ***Size*** ***&*** ***Ratios*** To keep things balanced and comfortable: Event capped at 12 people to test interest, I may expand numbers Guys admitted only after a woman registers (to maintain ratios) at my discretion until the format matures. Women can be a little flaky (we love them anyway), so I may accept 1–2 extra If the format works and demand grows, future events may expand to 20 people **🌱Why** **This** ***Event*** **Exists** A few people have asked me to run something for singles, and Meetup is already full of solo attendees. Dating apps feel like a minefield, and IRL conversations tend to be and are rare and sometimes awkward. So this is an experiment — a soft‑launch into a more human, more organic way of meeting people. As a conceptual experiment it's also free at the moment, so why pay 40 to 70 + drinks and Dinner for comparable events. No more first date haggling over who pays for dinner! Try it before my avarice takes a peek! 😀 **Also**: keep an eye out for Singles Walks — coming soon. 🧪 **A** ***Social*** **Experiment** This is a prototype event. I’m open to suggestions before and after as I refine the format. If it works, great. If it needs tweaking, we’ll tweak. If it becomes a Melbourne phenomenon, you were here at the start. Come for the bubbles. Stay for the conversations. Leave with a story — or someone worth messaging tomorrow.

Let’s meet for a casual evening of indoor bouldering at BlocHaus Port Melbourne. Bouldering is climbing on shorter walls with padded mats, without ropes or harnesses. BlocHaus describes it as a social activity that can be done with or without a partner, and their first-time page says beginners can come along and hire what they need in-house. We’ll meet near reception at 6:30pm, do a short warm-up/pre-workout, then start climbing around 7:00pm. You can climb as much or as little as you like, take breaks, watch others climb, or work on problems together. This is not a competition or a formal coaching session. Everyone is responsible for climbing within their own ability and following BlocHaus rules/staff instructions. **Who this is for** * Beginner-friendly and suitable for people who want a relaxed social climb. * Experienced climbers are also welcome, especially if you are happy to climb casually and help keep the vibe friendly. * Solo attendees are very welcome. You do not need to come with a climbing partner. **Links** Meetup start point: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/39gz2CkAmiicRNR76](https://maps.app.goo.gl/39gz2CkAmiicRNR76) BlocHaus website: [https://mlb.blochaus.com.au/](https://mlb.blochaus.com.au/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) Pricing: [https://mlb.blochaus.com.au/pricing/](https://mlb.blochaus.com.au/pricing/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) **Timeline** 6:30pm – Meet at BlocHaus reception and say hello 6:45pm – Short warm-up / pre-workout 7:00pm – Start bouldering 8:45pm – Cool down / post-workout 9:00pm – Meetup ends **Tickets / cost** * Everyone will need to pay their own BlocHaus entry directly to the venue. * Climbing shoes are required on the wall, and BlocHaus says shoes can be hired in-house. **Bring** Comfortable clothes you can move in Water bottle Socks for hired climbing shoes Climbing shoes, if you have your own A small towel or change of clothes if you want Payment card, as BlocHaus lists itself as EFTPOS only **Expect** * Difficulty: Flexible — choose climbs that suit your own level * Pace: Casual and social * Group style: Relaxed, supportive, beginner-friendly **Important notes** Bouldering involves risk.

Attica shot to fame when it was ranked in the World’s Top 50 Restaurants, and since then, it has reinvented itself multiple times. Part of Attica’s ongoing evolution includes its Chef’s Table experimental nights - an opportunity for the kitchen team to try out new dishes and a chance for us diners to experience some Attica magic at a slightly lower price point than usual. This year’s Chef’s Table Series offers a five-course menu (and optional wine-pairing), which reflects the experimental nature of the dishes - all written the night before. I booked for 5 Fine Diners to enjoy the Chef’s Table menu at $200 per person for dinner from 6pm on Wednesday 17 June. Please note: The only dietary requirements that can be accommodated are Vegetarian, Vegan, Pescatarian and Dairy free and these must be advised in advance. 

Join the waitlist to express interest. Once I have names in the waitlist, I’ll send you a ‘Meetup Message’ to confirm you have a spot and how to pay. You’ll need to send me $100 to secure your place (equivalent to the deposit I have already paid per seat to make the booking - this will be deducted from your bill when we settle up). Once paid I’ll move you from the waitlist to going. Please check that you don’t have your settings blocking messages; if I can’t contact you I’ll have to move on to another waitlisted diner. Also if you don’t respond to my message within 3 days, I’ll let you know that I’m offering the seat to another person on the waitlist. 

Thanks and I look forward to sharing a unique Attica experience with you!

**"Hey there, and welcome to The Spiral Path.** **I started this group ‘cause I’m figuring out ayahuasca integration myself – and I wanted a space where we could do it together, with nature walks and story circles. No experts here, just folks on a journey, sharing what works, what doesn’t, and the little moments that stick with us.** **Think of this as a place to unpack your experiences, ask the questions you might not ask anywhere else, and connect with people who get it. We’ll do monthly nature walks (even if it’s just a few of us) and check in here in between.** **So pull up a spot, say hi if you want, and let’s walk this spiral path together – one step at a time."**
