Father Mother Sister Brother - 4:10 p.m. Sunday 4/12 at the Nova -
Jim Jarmuschâs new film with Cate Blanchett, Adam Driver, Charlotte Rampling and Tom Waits.
âFather Mother Sister Brother is consistently beautiful. It is not easy to create visual variety and interest in scenes in which by design the most important thing that is happening is that nothing is apparently happening.â Variety.
âThereâs something comforting about the fact that Jarmusch is still doing his thing, exactly how he wants to, and that so many great actors are lining up to be part of it. Heâs a singular voice in a landscape thatâs always in danger of flattening.â The Associated Press.
We will meet at the Nova Bar from 3:30 p.m. onwards, please book your tickets early, Stefan - 0437777522

Volleyball Training and Games - Intermediate - B Level (SNHC)
Welcome to Melbourne Volleyball Academy! đ¤
**[[WHAT]]**
This session will be broken into 2 halves, 1st half is training and the 2nd half is games. Please arrive on time as we will start exactly at 5:30 PM.
Our intention is to have this training be the 'next step' after our beginner-level training at North Melbourne Community Centre.
We will be focusing on learning what specific roles on the court entail, improving 'volleyball IQ', breaking bad habits, and building better techniques.
**[[WHERE]]**
The session will be held as State Netball Hockey centre.
Please enter via the main entrance (the entrance with the larger parking lot), we will be on Court 3 & 4, please ask the person at the front desk if you need directions.
**[[WHO]]**
The training is intended for social volleyball players at the intermediate level or 'B' level (for more details on volleyball levels, please visit our site here: https://melbournevolleyballacademy.com.au/skill-levels-explained).
Players are expected to:
* pass freeballs and serve receive consistently
* have some knowledge of 5-1 (1 setter all around) or 6-2 (back row setter only) systems
* help others and have good sportsmanship
If you are a high intermediate (BB) or advanced player (A) you are more than welcome to join but you may find our open play sessions for BB/A level players more suitable.
For players that are at the beginner level, we suggest attending our training on Fridays at North Melbourne Community Centre 6-9PM as beginners may find the drills and level of play too difficult.
Players will be asked to attend a different session if their play is deemed unsafe or if they are not of the appropriate skill level.
**[[HOW MUCH]]**
$21 card payment will be collected on the day via square (EFTPOS) payment.
**[[WHEN]]**
The stadium is booked for 5:30 PM - 8:30 PM. However, feel free to come early and stretch as the stadium is open earlier.
**Last-minute dropouts and no-shows will have a zero-tolerance policy going forward.**
All players are expected to **update their RSVP at least 24 hours** in advance if they are unable to attend. This applies to players on the going list and the waitlist.
**[[THINGS TO BRING]]**
We ask that you bring:
* Water bottle
* Appropriate footwear for indoor court shoes - netball shoes, volleyball shoes, or basketball shoes would be suitable.
* Wear contacts or sports glasses if possible.

Aristotle's CafĂŠ
Come join us for in-depth discussions on topics relating to moral and political philosophy. This is a group for members who are comfortable discussing topics that are often anxiety producing and controversial.
*"Aristotle was a realist who believed that reality and knowledge are found in the physical world, accessible through sensory experience and logic. This led to contrasting views on ethics, politics, and the nature of reality itself. Plato emphasized abstract, ideal concepts, while Aristotle prioritized empirical observation and the study of the natural world."*
\- Google Gemini
Following Aristotle's lead, this group will lean heavily on empirical data to make arguments. The Socratic method is still the preferred way to engage in conversation, and Platonic Idealism is still relevant to the conversation as points of reference.
Socrates CafĂŠ Rockville Meetup
Socrates CafĂŠs are gatherings around the world where people from different backgrounds get together and exchange thoughtful ideas and experiences while embracing the Socratic Method; the idea that we learn more when we question, and question with others.
Although this may be considered a "philosophical" group, there are no rules as to what is discussed. Those attending decide upon the questions of the night. Usually, the topics revolve around social concerns, moral issues, and the first principles of things.
Prior to each meeting we vote online for the questions we will discuss. That way, we will have enough time to ruminate on them and have more in-depth conversations. If you RSVP to a meeting, you may post your question in the event comments section below. I'll send out a survey for voting a few days prior to the meetup. We discuss two questions each night. So you will get to cast two votes in the survey.
When we meet, we break into smaller groups of five to seven to discuss the top two vote-getters. Each group discusses one question for around 45-50 minutes, and we then take a short break. After reconvening, each group moves on to its second question.
Hope to see you there!

Profs & Pints Northern Virginia: Doom and Dinosaurs
[Profs and Pints Northern Virginia](https://www.profsandpints.com/washingtondc) presents: **âDoom and Dinosaurs,â** a look at how mass extinctions shaped the dinosaurs and what research on these events tells us about Earth lifeâs long-term prospects, with Ian Wilenzik, paleontologist and visiting assistant professor of biology at George Washington University.
[Advance tickets: $13.50 plus sales tax and processing fees. Available at [https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/nv-dino-doom](https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/nv-dino-doom) .]
Pity the poor dinosaurs. They lacked both scientific research to help deal with potential environmental catastrophes and places where they could have a beer and discuss it.
You, on the other hand, have the opportunity to come to Profs and Pints to hear a fascinating talk on the impact of mass extinctions on dinosaur evolution and what research on dinosaurs tells us about biodiversity and Earthâs current biodiversity crisis.
Dr. Ian Wilenzik, who has studied and taught courses on dinosaur evolution, population spread, and extinction, will leave you with a greater appreciation of the resilience of life on earth and how weâre both the product and source of biologically catastrophic events.
Many of us are familiar with how a big meteor impact about 66 million years ago wiped out the Earthâs dinosaur population, leaving us only with their feathered descendants, birds. Less well known is how the Earth actually has undergone five periods of mass extinction that wiped out nearly all life, and how dinosaurs arose from one and endured anotherâboth caused by volcanic activityâbefore meeting their match in the third.
To ground his discussion, Dr. Wilenzik will talk about how we study mass extinctions by looking for geologic evidence of volcanic activity, meteoric blasts, and other catastrophic activity and of gaps in the fossil record after them.
Heâll also discuss what makes a dinosaur a dinosaur, describing their distinct anatomical features. Heâll talk about how they and other forms of life evolved over long periods of time and were affected by extinction events.
Weâll look at how the meteor-caused mass extinction that wiped out dinosaurs at the end of the Cretaceous paved the way for the rise of mammals and the emergence of primates, and, eventually, us. Looking ahead to future mass extinctions and what might survive them, weâll talk about how that plant you forget to water might have the last laugh, as well as why crocodiles might be around a while. (Doors: $17, or $15 with a student ID. Listed time is for doors. The talk starts 30 minutes later.)

What Gen Z Students Wish Parents, Schools, and Churches Would Really Ask!
This month at **Taproom Theology**, weâre handing the mic to the people everyone talks *about* but rarely talks *with*: **Gen Z students**.
Join us for a candid, eyeâopening panel where local teens and young adults share the real challenges their generation is navigating â from mental health and identity to faith, friendships, pressure, and the future theyâre inheriting.
But this isnât just a conversation about struggles. Itâs a chance to hear **what they wish parents, churches, and schools understood**, the questions they *want* adults to ask, and the support theyâre actually looking for.
Expect honesty. Expect surprises. Expect wisdom that doesnât sound like a lecture â because itâs coming straight from the voices living it every day.
Whether youâre a parent, educator, ministry leader, or simply someone who cares about the next generation, this is a rare opportunity to listen, learn, and build bridges across the generational gap.
**Come ready to hear. Come ready to rethink. Come ready to understand Gen Z on their own terms.**
Outdoor Meditation and Discussion
Join us for the first gathering of Leesburg Rational Spiritualists â a group for people who want to take both inner life and clear thinking seriously.
This is not a church, not a debate club, and not a wellness brand. Itâs closer to âphilosophy club with cushionsâ:
* 15 minutes of simple, silent meditation
* 45 minutes of open discussion around a pre-determined topic
You do not need prior meditation experience or any spiritual, religious, or philosophical background.
***
**Theme for Meeting 1:**
*Why meditate at all? Attention, experience, and what weâre even doing here.*
Weâll do:
1. Brief intro
2. 15 minutes of silent meditation (basic breath/attention practice)
3. An optional short reading (sent in advance) on why paying attention to experience might matter
4. Group conversation:
* What did you actually notice sitting still for 15 minutes?
* What do you hope practice and reflection might change in your life?
* What effects does the meditation have on your experience now?
***
**Ground Rules:**
* Weâre here to practice and inquire, not to convert anyone to a belief system.
* We speak from first-person experience (âI noticedâŚâ, âI thinkâŚâ) rather than making grand pronouncements.
* We respect time: start & end on time, keep contributions reasonably concise.
If youâre looking for a place to rant about politics, sell anything, or fix other people, this is not that.
***
**Location & Logistics:**
* **Where:** Ida Lee Park near the gazebo. Look for the zen frog!
* **When:** April 18, 2026 - 11am
* **What to bring:**
* Something to sit on (yoga mat, blanket, or folding chair)
* Weather-appropriate clothes, water, maybe bug spray
* Optional: small notebook + pen
**Weather plan:**
If the forecast looks bad (heavy rain, storms, or very cold), Iâll post an update at least 3 hours before. In that case weâll probably reschedule.
***
**This is a 4âmeeting experiment**
This group is starting as a **4âsession experiment**. After a few meetings, weâll decide together whether to keep going, change the format, or let it end gracefully.
If this sounds interesting but youâre shy or unsure, showing up and sitting quietly is enough.
âGood Jobâ: A Conversation on Seeing, Valuing, and Uplifting One Another
Inspired by the song "Good Job" by Alicia Keys, this gathering invites us to pause and reflect on the quiet strength, resilience, and everyday efforts that often go unseen.
How often do we acknowledge the people who keep things movingâat work, at home, in our communities? And how often do we recognize that same perseverance in ourselves?
In this conversation, weâll explore:
* The power of simple recognition and encouragement
* How affirmation can strengthen resilience and connection
* Ways to create environments where people feel seen and valued
* The impact of gratitude on culture, leadership, and well-being
Through reflection and shared dialogue, weâll consider how a simple phraseâ*âgood jobâ*âcan carry deeper meaning when itâs grounded in sincerity and awareness.
Come join a different kind of conversation â one that welcomes every perspective in a search for the underlying truths that unite us all â on seeing, valuing, and uplighting one another.
Join us for an open and respectful conversation where participants can share perspectives, experiences, and insights.
Whether you come to speak or simply to listen, all thoughtful voices are welcome.
