* Have fun and meet friendly people at our regular contra dances! Every second Saturday evening (except March, June, Nov) and fourth Sunday evening (except Dec) of each month in 2026, often with live music. Contra dance has some similarities to bush dance and square dance. It is very popular in the USA, Canada and London. The dances consist of interesting patterns, walked to upbeat music. For a good description, look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contra_dance. A good example can be viewed at [http //dancevideos.childgrove.org/contra/contra-modern/163](http://dancevideos.childgrove.org/contra/contra-modern/163-heartbeat-contra) * All dances are called. Singles and couples are all very welcome. The cost is $12 ($6 for students). If no live music, then the cost is $8 ($4 for students). Cash or PayID is preferred. * No experience needed. If first time, please attend for free instruction before the dance from 7.15 – 7.45 pm. * **Uniting Church Hall, 72 Highfield Rd, Canterbury** * You might also like to eat beforehand at Bao & Bun Vietnamese restaurant 770 Riversdale Rd at about 6 pm. Just roll up.

My favourite hike through the urban wilderness. This is where singles and socialites slip into easy banter and deliciously aimless chatter. Meander, mingle, and flirt your way along Melbourne’s most charming inner‑city adventure walk—a playground for slow strides, quick chemistry, and whatever your heart feels like discovering 🥰 ****### Before considering going on this event make sure you read the group rules section at the end ###**** Join Eat Drink Dance Melbourne for a cheeky Australia Day social stroll that blends Melbourne’s best coffee, off-trail adventure, and optional refreshment into one glorious afternoon! My pick for apres "ski" entertainment and snacks is the Johnny Green rooftop bar atop the King and Godfrey building opposite Brunetti on Lygon St, but this will probably be busy so Brunetti is a safer bet. **🕜 Start Time: 10:00 AM Sharp**. 📍 Meeting Point: Brunetti Carlton, outdoor seating area. Get there early to grab a coffee. **Please arrive at 9.45 AM**, I won't wait for stragglers. **👟 Distance**: \~15km loop, relaxed pace, about 3 to 4km/hr. **🍺 Mid point**. Sydney Road. My favourite hipster cafe, Green Refectory, to recharge batteries with a great sponge cake, sit down or smoothie/coffee **🍕 End point**. Back at Lygon St. Brunetti, Options for Pizza/Gelati , vegan pub or Johnny Green rooftop bar. We’ll kick off with optional pre-walk coffees at Brunetti, get there early, Carlton's legendary upmarket coffee haunt with arguably the classiest brew in Melbourne. Then we’ll begin our long scenic ramble. Expect a playful, off-trail wander through the secret back lots of Royal Park Golf Course, past the Melbourne Zoo and the Netball centre and then through the lushest corners of Royal Park via the Royal Children's Hospital and their award winning kids (really a big adults) playground and some of the best views of the inner Melbourne skyline from the north. We’ll loop around Princes Hill running track, swing by the Carlton Football Ground, and return via leafy laneways to Lygon St for a well-earned refreshment—coffee, pint, or cocktail, your call. This is a social primer for your Australia Day arvo: meet new faces, stretch your legs, and share stories over drinks. Whether you're caffeinated, curious, or just craving connection, a single looking for a bit of company, this walk is your gateway to good vibes and spontaneous plans. 🎒 Bring water, comfy shoes preferably runners or hiking shoes, and your best banter. 🌦️ Weather permitting – check the forecast and dress accordingly. 💃 Optional: kick on with fellow walkers for beer, gelato, conversations, movies or dinner **Notes:** Look for a tall bloke, this is the host! Instructions on the day in the comments Bring your happy and friendly self, it'll be a relaxed walk Not a dawdle and not a run.Some of the route is along rough tracks and grass, other parts on well formed tracks or pavement . You'll be pleasantly surprised by this little adventure so close to the city. About a 4+ hour walk including civilised stopovers, we'll have short rests along the way. Feel free to enter and exit at any point, **Group Rules and Event Etiquette** **Fitness Requirements**: **Walking:** 3 to 4km/hr and 200m vertically in an hour. We usually go faster, but this is a minimum. Be mindful that if you don't have reasonable fitness, its not fair on the group to wait extended periods for you. I may ask you to exit the event if this is the case. **People who are very fast or very slow or prefer being by themselves** As a group activity I can't manage the group if it splits up, please consider going by yourself or joining a fast walkers/riders group or meeting minimum fitness requirements. **If people have time constraints** Best to give yourself some wiggle room, Things rarely go to time due to various factors especially in big groups. **+++VERY IMPORTANT+++** **People who do a No Show**. This is unfortunately too common for small group events, there may be people in a waitlist wanting to come on the event and is very inconsiderate. Remove yourself from the going list at least 24 hours before the event to give people on the waitlist an opportunity. **If you do a No Show you will be removed and blocked from the group**. If you remove yourself from the event an hour or two before the event (flaking) you may also be blocked and removed from the group, this is also unfair to people on the waitlist. Please communicate with me if you do not want to be blocked and removed from the group. **People who turn up without registering** This is a major security concern, **DO NOT DO THIS**.You will be asked to leave the event unless you have made arrangements with the organiser **PRIOR** to the event. **People who are late** You will be left behind and or removed and blocked from the group as a No Show. It is your responsibility to communicate with me if you think you will be late. It is up to you to catch up, usually this may not be possible.

Please join us this Sunday as we discuss nation, identity and Australia Day. We will meet at the Captain Melville, 34 Franklin Street in Melbourne CBD, at 2pm for a 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 to have your own assumptions challenged. Glen will be leading the discussion this week. We have started to split into two tables to discuss as we have had increased numbers lately, and are looking for regular attendees who would be comfortable leading the discussion on the second table to put their hand up. Find below some questions to consider, however these are free-ranging events and the below serve as a springboard for the discussion. Some points and questions to consider * What is a nation? * Is national identity something we inherit or something we choose? How does one come to belong to a nation? What are the benefits and costs of belonging to a nation? * What role should historical truth play in national rituals? * What obligations do present generations have to past injustices? * Do all nations tell simplified myths about themselves? * What does Australia Day actually commemorate? * What does Australia Day mean to different groups of people? Are there other countries with similar issues? * How might recent migrants relate to debates around national identity and to Australia Day? * Would you make changes to how Australia Day is currently celebrated?

Seekers of timeless truths and spiritual meaning often turn to the records and whisperings of ancient times. But there is a more personal and direct way to learn about ourselves as divine, immortal Soul – and it can be explored **here and now.** This study can help you understand your true nature as a child of the Divine, identify your strongest spiritual gifts, and tap your limitless creativity of Soul. Using these practices, you can create a happier and more fulfilling life for yourself **now** as you prepare for an eternity of spiritual unfoldment and service to Creation. **Are you ready to take your next spiritual step using the God knowledge that is already within your heart?** You’re welcome to join us on February 8th as we discuss: · How the Voice of God speaks to us today. · Understanding your profound experiences. · Experiencing your true beingness of Soul, an infinite spiritual being. All attendees will receive a free copy of *“Ancient Wisdom for Today”* while supplies last. We really look forward to seeing you there!

### Monthly Group Mentoring on Prosperity **with Rev. Honi Borden & Michael Abramson** This Monthly Group Mentoring on Prosperity is a sacred, ongoing space for individuals who desire to **Align with the Frequency of Prosperous Beingness** as guided and embodied by Rev. Honi Borden and Michael Abramson. Prosperity is not something to acquire—it is a **state of being** already available through God Almighty. Within this mentorship, participants are lovingly and powerfully guided to **tune into the frequency of prosperity from within**, experience its presence internally, and recognize how it naturally seeks to express itself through their life. As you align with this Prosperous Beingness, you will: * Experience what prosperity **feels like** on the inside—peace, trust, sufficiency, divine flow * Gain clarity on what prosperity **looks like** when lived in alignment with God’s design * Discover **practical, actionable steps** to allow more prosperity into your daily life, work, service, and relationships * Release unconscious limitations that restrict the natural flow of God’s blessings This **embodied, frequency-based mentorship** is designed to support the integration of prosperity into your consciousness, choices, and lived experience—so prosperity becomes a natural expression of who you are, rather than something you strive for. It is for individuals who truly desire to **live their highest and greatest purpose-filled life**—a life led by God, designed to **impact lives, uplift humanity, and serve with meaning and integrity**. In this space, prosperity becomes the natural fuel for service, generosity, and inspired contribution. When we live aligned with the Prosperous Beingness God has placed within us, our lives become a blessing—not only to ourselves, but to the world. This mentoring is an invitation to live from that truth. It meets last Wednesday of every month with group of Dedicated, Devoted & Desciplined individuals that have a Deep Desire To FullFill Their Life's Purpose By Being Truly Prosperous In Every Way. *** ✨ **DETAILS** 🗓 **Last Wednesday of each month** ⏰ **2:00 PM EST** 📍 **Live on Zoom** (Replay provided if Zoom is missed) 💎 **Investment:** $188 USD • 1st Tier Ascension Alchemy Members Price: $100 USD To Register, please email: Info@AscensionAlchemists.com so we can provide you with the link for payment and all the details. *(Please enter the amount manually)* EMAIL: Info@AscensionAlchemists.com To Register

Is there hidden value in the difficulties and hardships of life, or are these things just to try to get past as quickly as possible? If so, how can we emerge from the current world crisis we are facing as stronger, more resilient individuals and communities? When we look at the difficult moments of our lives, aren’t those often the times when we grew the most? So many valuable lessons in life and growth opportunities are hard-won, often coming out of these trying moments. So why are we so focused on avoiding these difficulties? From this perspective, how would we as individuals and as a society confront the inevitable struggles we will be faced with? How can we build stronger communities that ensure not only that we don’t have to face struggles alone, but that we as individuals will emerge stronger as well? Come join a different kind of conversation – one that welcomes every perspective in a search for the truths that unite us all – as we discuss the spiritual perspective offered by the Bahá’í Teachings on the opportunity for growth during times of struggle. Join us for a lively discussion as we reflect on the meaning of the struggles of life and explore the true nature of progress. *“The troubles of this world pass and what we have left is what we have made of our souls.*” – Bahá’í Teachings \*\*\* This event is free and open to all regardless of background or belief. Donations will not be accepted.
