God

Join Theosophist Margaret Harris, PhD, in her continuing series of discussions, digging deeper into Astrology every Friday from 4:00pm - 5:30pm WHO AM I?"It is not the fear of God' which is 'the beginning of wisdom' but the knowledge of SELF which is Wisdom Itself .. MAN KNOW THYSELF" (Blavatsky,1901, p.15, Studies in Occultism).KNOW THYSELF In this supportive weekly group, through an Astrological lens and connecting with our own birth maps, we explore books that can help us explore paths towards our spiritual unfoldment. Through a variety of texts, from both Theosophists and Astrologers, we look at the energetic connections we have with the heavens and how they can assist us as we journey from our personality selves to our spiritual selves. Various knowledges from participants are also welcomed and encouraged as we continue to work with the 3rd object of the Theosophical Society: "To investigate unexplained laws of Nature and the powers latent in the human being" The Society is a registered charity and these events are free, but donations are welcome.

Join Stephen Fiyalko, President of the Melbourne Theosophical Society for meditation, self attunement, study and discussion on the Laws of the Universe. We welcome all to join at 5:30pm for a 30 min Meditation and will begin the discussion group at 6:00pm. For those who prefer to just attend the discussion group you're welcome to arrive at 6pm. An understanding of and action within the Laws through our choices give practical tools for facing, managing and surmounting with confidence the many challenges we face in our daily lives, in society and the world itself. Ignorance of the Laws can leave us adrift to be buffeted and feel overwhelmed by stormy seas. Each week will look at one of the twelve Laws which are principles, not rules, seeking a deeper understanding of that Law, our and their inter-relationship with the other Laws. Discussion will involve sharing stories from our lives which contribute to a growing understanding and confidence in our lives. Each session is free, but contributions are welcome.

**Hatha Yoga – Effort & Ease** ### **When & Where?** 🗓 **Saturday at 8:00am** ⏰ **45-minute session** 📍 **Edinburgh Gardens, Fitzroy North - behind the Rotunda on the grass** (A pinned map location and image gallery will help you find us.) 🌧️ **Weather:** Because this class is outdoors, the event may be cancelled if rain is likely. Please check the event page before attending, Melbourne weather can be a little chaotic! *** **About the Session:Hatha Yoga - Effort & Ease** This is a gentle, beginner-friendly Hatha yoga class designed to help you move slowly, breathe with intention, and feel grounded in your body. **What is Hatha yoga -Effort & Ease** Hatha yoga is traditionally described as the union of two energies - the activating quality of heat and the calming quality of coolness. In this practice, we explore the space between effort and ease. We don’t push, and we don’t collapse. We move slowly enough to feel where the body naturally lands, and we use the breath to guide us into balance. Today is about learning how to meet each shape with steadiness and softness at the same time. The sequence will be slow, grounding, and supportive - ideal for beginners or anyone wanting a calm, clear start to the day. We’ll warm up gently, move through simple stabilising shapes, then finish with a short rest to integrate. No experience is needed. You’re welcome exactly as you are. ***What to Bring*** • A yoga mat • A blanket or warm layer • Comfortable clothes • Optional cushion for extra comfort (If you forget a mat, still come - I’ll have a couple of extras 😊) *** **Attending** Please Rsvp if you know you are coming. If you haven’t RSVP’d and want to join last minute, please feel welcome. The group is relaxed and friendly. **Starting Setup** We begin at 800am. Arriving a few minutes early helps you land, get settled, and start the morning slowly. *** **Running Late?** No stress at all. Just join quietly whenever you arrive - you won’t interrupt the class 😊. *** **I am also running a meditation session at 9am after Hatha yoga finishes.** If you would like to come to both please click attending in the meditation session too 🙏😊 **Looking forward to practicing with you 🌿✨** **Kathy** #

**Gain The Confidence to Be Unstoppable! Free Class.** How to Achieve Self Confidence! Without question, self confidence is the key to success. It determines how many of your goals you achieve in life and has an enormous impact on your happiness. It affects how people perceive you, your career achievements, your ability to take risks or try new endeavours, as well as your overall attitude toward yourself and others. Self Confidence is something most people would like to have more of, but aren't sure how to get. Did you ever feel more certain of yourself in the past? Would you like to raise your self confidence ? To increase self confidence, you have to understand what reduces it. If you know why this happens you can reverse the situation and rebuild your self esteem. Self Confidence is self-determinism. One's belief in one's ability to determine his own course. As long as one has that, he's got the universe in his pocket. - L. Ron Hubbard. This day you are able to Learn: • The true source of security in life. • How self-confidence, self respect and self trust interrelate, and what you can do to rehabilitate them. • The exact steps to become more competent in whatever you do. Today's free class will put you into a good position to help you achieve a new level of self-confidence, accomplish more, and progress towards a higher level of personal survival. Free parking, Free entree *** Todays free class is open to all people of goodwill.

Please join us this Sunday as we explore the question of Intelligence. This session will be moderated by Glenn. We will meet at the **CAPTAIN MELVILLE**, 34 Franklin St in Melbourne CBD, at 2.00pm for 2.15pm start sharp. There is no pre-requisite preparation necessary, nor a philosophical background; all that is required is a curious mind. These discussions are both a Socrates Cafe style discussion and lively metaphysical dojo, in the spirit of learning and friendly debate, so please feel free to challenge assumptions and be prepared have your own assumptions challenged! Find below some questions to consider, however these are free-ranging events and the below serve merely as a springboard towards a deeper discussion in waters unknown... Some points and questions to consider before the event: * What is intelligence? * What are the differences between human, animal and artificial intelligence? Which differences matter? * Is intelligence best thought of as a capacity, a process or or an outcome? * Are IQ tests useful? If so, useful for what? * Is intelligence distinguished from wisdom, creativity or rationality? Why? * Intelligence is biologically costly. Why do you think we evolved it at all? What problems does it solve? * Are humans intelligent because of individual brains or cumulative culture? * In what sense is AI intelligent or not? If it can do intelligent things, should we say its intelligent? * Is it just that intelligent people are rewarded in the market and society? Are there stupid people? How should they be treated? Hope to see you there!

On a list of "My Favorite Things", few people would put a "break up" in their top ten. More often, these words evoke feelings of shame, embarrassment, poor choices, and bad or sad endings. Before the new and beautiful can be built, the old, broken, and unnecessary must be cleared away. This process can be painful, but it is good, needful, and can produce wonderful results when done wisely and well. How does one break free from anxiety, comparison, or shame? Christian Bevere points people to the freedom God desires for His children, as well as giving practical ideas on how to shed both unhealthy baggage and the lies that seek to leave us anchored to past failure. Drawing from the Bible, ***Break Up With What Broke You*** clearly shows that what Satan would seek to use for evil, God uses for good and to accomplish His purposes. Join us **Thursday, January 15, 2026, at 6:30 pm**, when we gather at **Panera Bread, 300 West Lane Avenue, Columbus, across from St. John Arena**. We'd love to see you there!
