For the safety of people attending future events, please do not share the Milkyway location with anyone. Also, please do not tag the location when sharing photos on Social Media.
The Milky Way Galaxy is one of the most interesting naked eye sights in the night sky. We live under light-polluted skies, and to see a glimpse of the Milkyway, we need to travel outside the city. We run Milkyway events near Melbourne (40-50km away) and events in premium locations (over 80-100km from Melbourne CBD). We will mention premium events on the title of the event.

Creative Business Events This Week
Discover what is happening in the next few days
Coffee & Connections: Topic Art Residencies or finding Art Space
Hi everyone, and welcome to our very first event!
Since I’ve traveled to 50 countries before settling here in Melbourne, the idea of combining travel, daily living, and creating art is a massive passion of mine. To kick off our community of "dreamers and doers," we are hosting a relaxed weekend coffee meetup to connect, share, and get inspired.
Whether you are a full-time professional artist or an entrepreneur exploring painting like I am, this is a casual space to meet face-to-face and build our local network over a great cup of Melbourne coffee.
**Here is what we’ll be doing:**
* 🎨 **Show & Tell:** Bring a sketchbook, your iPad, or just pull up some photos of your work on your phone. Let's celebrate what everyone is currently creating or exploring!
* 🤝 **Network & Connect:** Swap Instagram handles, share industry contacts, and find your new creative accountability buddies.
* 🌍 **Main Topic - Art Residencies & Coliving:** Have you ever done an art residency? Are you dreaming of joining a creative coliving space overseas or right here in Australia? Let's share resources, research, and dreams about blending travel with our artistic practices.
**What to bring:**
* A piece of your art (physical or digital) or a work-in-progress to share.
* Your business cards, portfolio links, or social handles.
* Any info, questions, or experiences you have regarding art residencies!
I can't wait to meet you all and hear about your creative journeys. RSVP so I can make sure we grab a big enough table!
Melbourne Founder Roundtable (Live) — Real Business Case + Structured Discussion
**Most networking events are easy to attend - and easy to ignore.**
**This is a working session for founders who are serious about moving something forward.**
**What this is:**
This is a small, in-person founder roundtable.
One or two real business situations are presented and worked through live.
Not hypotheticals.
Not theory.
Actual constraints.
**What we work through:**
* What is actually trying to be achieved
* What is getting in the way
* What may be misdiagnosed
* What the real constraint is
* What should happen in the next 7 days
**Then: Structured Founder Conversations**
You won’t be left to casual networking.
You’ll take part in short, focused discussions where:
* you apply the same thinking to your own situation
* you speak with multiple founders
* you leave with one clear next step
**WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT**
Most events optimise for:
* attendance
* volume
* energy
This one optimises for:
**clarity, constraint, and follow-through**
**WHO THIS IS FOR**
* founders
* business owners
* consultants
* operators
* people actively building something
**WHO THIS IS NOT FOR**
* casual networking
* passive attendance
* startup pitching
* people “just exploring ideas”
**IMPORTANT — THIS IS NOT A STANDARD RSVP**
To keep the room focused and intentional:
👉 You must register via a private page
👉 Spaces are limited
**Register here:**
https://meetups.aqmeets.com/
**VENUE SECTION**
📍 Melbourne (CBD location — confirmed after registration)
This is a small, in-person session.
Details are shared after registration to maintain a focused group.
**FINAL NOTE:**
If you’re tired of thinking about what to do next - and want to actually decide and move -
this will feel different.

* **What We’re About**
You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with, so join us — and be part of a community that rises above circumstances and creates opportunities. Inspire and be inspired by those who make things happen.
It's a relaxed, organic space to connect with like-minded people and network—genuinely talking, learning from each other, and connecting over shared interests.
* **What to Expect**
Casual Meetups: We gather semi-regularly at a local café to chat about everything from stepping outside your comfort zone to business ideas, creative projects, and building a life aligned with your purpose. It’s relaxed, easy, and welcoming—no need to have anything “figured out.”
An Easy-Going Space: We keep things simple and low-pressure. Once everyone arrives, we ease in with some light conversation and naturally break into smaller groups.
Networking: Feel free to introduce yourself or let people know what you're working on if you feel like it. And if anyone wants to quickly shout out what they’re working on or looking for before we settle in, go for it—it’s a great way to spark new conversations.
* **Host Support**
If you’d like a one-on-one chat with me about your business, just tap me on the shoulder. I’ll be floating around and happy to make time for you.
**Quick note for the day:**
Depending on the weather, we might go for a walk too. Just remember to wear comfy shoes 🌞 👟 🥾:)
❗If you're running late, drop me a quick message as we might leave the cafe for a walk within the last 30-45 minutes. 🏃 🏃♂️ 🏃♀️

**Lachandra Baker** Founder of LBB Edutainment and the kind of person who makes you realize you’ve been confusing confidence with performance your whole life. Lachandra blends psychology, research, and radical humanity to help individuals and teams stop code-switching their way through the day and start showing up as someone they actually recognize. Expect to be challenged, affirmed, and genuinely seen - sometimes all in the same breath.
**Annette Santiago Reyes** Annette has a rare talent: she makes the way you communicate feel like a discovery, not a critique. A connection catalyst and culture strategist, she helps people understand why they show up the way they do, and how to bridge the gap between intention and impact. Whether you're navigating change, life’s challenges, or simply trying to better understand yourself and others. Annette gives you the language and the lens to get there.
**Elizabeth Wangugi** Creator of The Nap Concert and the RESTOR™ framework, Elizabeth is here to tell you that rest is not a reward - it’s a strategy. Rooted in neuroscience and restorative practice, her work helps high-achievers stop running on fumes and start leading from a place of actual capacity. If your calendar is full and your tank is empty, Elizabeth might be the most important person you hear from at Confidence Lab.
**Stephanie Andrews** Founder of Social Black Butterfly Training & Consulting, Stephanie knows what it takes to lead through complexity because she’s done it across social services, healthcare, and operations. She specializes in succession strategy and leadership development, equipping leaders to build trust, navigate the hard moments, and leave something worth inheriting. Stephanie doesn’t just develop leaders. She develops the kind of leaders people actually want to follow.
**Lillian Morales-Laster** SVP Human Resources Director at United Midwest Savings Bank and Executive Director of the Empowering Latinas Leadership Academy (ELLA). Lillian has spent her career combining her passion for equity and inclusion with her experience in human resources to lead teams and organizations in the development of supportive work environments. She leads with a vision of ensuring Latinas' voices are included in crucial decision-making processes, because for Lillian, ELLA is more than just a program. It's a vibrant community of hermanas supporting and uplifting each other as they navigate their paths to leadership. A Columbus Business First Community Champion and Distinguished Hispanic Ohioan, her commitment to empowering others shows up everywhere she goes.
**Rachyl Kershaw** Founder of Greater Columbus Consulting and the architect behind the Confidence Lab Annual Summit, Rachyl has a gift for cutting through the noise, helping high-achievers stop performing success and start living it. She asks the questions most people are afraid to, creates space for honest reckoning, and somehow makes the hard work feel energizing. If you’ve ever wondered why doing everything right still feels like something’s missing, you’re in exactly the right room.
#### **Why Confidence Lab?**
Confidence is the foundation for success in every area of life. Whether you’re navigating a career change, launching a business, or striving for personal growth, building your confidence is the key to unlocking your higher purpose. This is your chance to invest in yourself and start living boldly.
