Squishface Monthly Drawing Night MARCH @ SQUISHFACE
LAST WEDNESDAY OF THE MONTH so
**IT'S DRAWING NIGHT AT SQUISHFACE**
FYI: we may have someone shooting some video this night for a student documentary. If you don't want to be filmed you can let him know.
Join us at Squishface's studio space in South Melbourne: Studio Hall, on the grounds of St Kilda South Port Uniting Church on Dorcas St. There are FOUR TRAMS you can catch from the city. **58, 96, 12** or the **1!** It is even walkable from the city.
Bring your sketch books, bring your pens, bring a friend. It's not a class - it's a drawing hang out. All skill levels welcome. Always lots of regulars, always newies. Be socially awkward, be confident as heck. This is informal, it's just a free drawing session.
Go ahead and bring snacks. But no nuts please!
Our venue is wheelchair accessible, as are the very toilets.
Minors are welcome but will need an accompanying adult.
Contact us on 0422509144 if any issues or you get lost.
Please follow us both on instagram, for comic and zine related news and events. 👉 [Squishface Studio](http://www.instagram.com/Squishfacestudio)
Here's an [instagram video](https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4J5GiOPLxc/) showing where Studio Hall is. You simply enter from the street, walk up toward the big bluestone church, then go left to the car park and you will find Studio Hall!
Mar 25th | The 9 Senses Awakening: Healing Circle & Fire Ritual
Although many people in our Kismetrix community meet through singles events, this **Healing Circle is open to everyone and not limited to singles**.
Anyone who feels drawn to an evening of reflection, awareness, and personal growth is warmly welcome.
[Ticketed Event](https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/mar-25th-the-9-senses-awakening-healing-circle-fire-ritual-tickets-1985241971177?utm-campaign=social&utm-content=attendeeshare&utm-medium=discovery&utm-term=listing&utm-source=cp&aff=ebdsshcopyurl)

The 9 Senses Awakening: Healing Circle & Fire Ritual
### Healing Circle • Reflection • Release
📅 **Wednesday, 25 March 2026**
🕖 **7:00 PM – 9:30 PM**
📍 **RYVE**
Level 1, 38 Shafton St, Huntingdale VIC 3166
## A Space to Pause, Reflect, and Let Go
Sometimes in life we carry things quietly inside us.
Old emotions.
Unspoken words.
Past experiences.
Stress, heartbreak, grief, or simply the weight of moving through the world.
We keep going, often without giving ourselves the space to truly process what we’ve been holding.
This evening is an invitation to **pause**.
To breathe.
To reconnect with yourself.
And if you feel ready — to gently release what you no longer need to carry.
The last **9 Senses Awakening Healing Circle** I hosted became one of the most beautiful and meaningful gatherings I’ve experienced. Many people shared that it gave them a rare moment to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with themselves in a deeper way.
Because of that experience, I’ve felt called to create this space again.
This event is **open to everyone** and **not limited to singles**. Anyone who feels drawn to a quiet evening of reflection, awareness, and personal growth is warmly welcome.
## The 9 Senses Awakening
Throughout the evening we will explore awareness through **nine layers of human perception**.
The physical senses
• Sight
• Sound
• Smell
• Taste
• Touch
The inner senses
• Intuition
• Emotional awareness
The subtle senses
• Energy (vibration and presence)
• Spiritual connection
Through simple guided practices, breath awareness, and mindful reflection, we reconnect with these senses — helping us return to presence and inner clarity.
## Healing Circle & Sharing
This evening is held in a **healing circle**, creating a space where everyone is seen, heard, and respected.
There is **no pressure to speak**. You are welcome to simply listen and be present.
For those who wish to share, the circle allows space for reflection and connection with others who may be navigating their own journeys.
## Fire Ritual – Letting Go
Toward the end of the evening we will take part in a **symbolic fire ritual**.
Participants will be invited to write down something they are ready to release — a past story, emotional weight, fear, resentment, or something that has been quietly sitting in their hearts.
As the paper burns, we symbolically allow that chapter to transform.
Many people describe this moment as **deeply moving and liberating**.
## What to Expect
• A calm and supportive environment
• Guided sensory awareness and reflection
• A healing circle and optional sharing
• A symbolic fire ritual for release
• A small and intimate group experience
No previous experience with meditation or healing circles is required.
Simply bring yourself, exactly as you are.
## Hosted by Vivienne Vu
Vivienne Vu is passionate about creating spaces for reflection, emotional awareness, and authentic human connection.
Her work focuses on helping people reconnect with themselves, release emotional weight, and move forward in life with greater clarity and intention.

It is **not therapy, counselling, or medical treatment**.
The Secret Lives of Colour - March 2026 Big Ideas Book Club
**The Secret Lives of Colour, by Kassia St Clair**
The Secret Lives of Colour tells the unusual stories of the 75 most fascinating shades, dyes and hues. From blonde to ginger, the brown that changed the way battles were fought to the white that protected against the plague, Picasso’s blue period to the charcoal on the cave walls at Lascaux, acid yellow to kelly green, and from scarlet women to imperial purple, these surprising stories run like a bright thread throughout history.
In this book Kassia St Clair has turned her lifelong obsession with colours and where they come from (whether Van Gogh’s chrome yellow sunflowers or punk’s fluorescent pink) into a unique study of human civilisation. Across fashion and politics, art and war, The Secret Lives of Colour tell the vivid story of our culture.

Melbourne AWS User Group #157 - March 2026
🎉 **Melbourne AWS User Group – March Meetup** 🎉
---
📅 Wednesday, 25 March
📍 NAB Events Hub – 395 Bourke Street, Melbourne
⏰ Food at 6:00 pm, talks from 6:30 pm (with live stream)
Join us for our March for our March meetup as we explore two important areas of modern cloud architecture: **security and resilience**.
This month we’ll look at how organisations can improve least-privilege access using IAM Access Analyzer, and how to design highly resilient architectures using AWS fault isolation and multi-region patterns.
This month’s lineup features:
• **Hazra Ali**, a brand new **AWS Community Builder for 2026**, is presenting on how business analysis techniques can improve outcomes when using AWS IAM Access Analyzer.
• **Anshika Gupta** sharing architectural principles for building resilient systems using static stability, fault isolation, and multiple AWS Regions.
A huge thank you to our sponsors: 🥇 **Mantel Group – Gold Sponsor**, 🥈 **Cevo – Silver Sponsor**, 🏛 **NAB – Venue Sponsor**
The event will be live-streamed on YouTube as always.
***
🗓️ **Agenda**
6:00 pm – Food & Socialising
6:30 pm – Introductions
6:40 pm – What’s New in AWS
6:55 pm – **Business Analysis in AWS IAM Access Analyzer (Level 100)**; Speaker: Hazra Ali
7:25 pm – **Reinforcing Resilience in the Real World with Static Stability, Fault Isolation and Multiple Regions (Level 200)**; Speaker: Anshika Gupta
7:55 pm – Marketplace (Who’s Hiring)
8:00 pm – Networking + Close
***
🎤 **Talk Details**
**Business Analysis in AWS IAM Access Analyzer**
Speaker: Hazra Ali
Level: 100
Business analysis plays a crucial role in helping organisations implement change to address challenges and leverage solutions that deliver value. AWS IAM Access Analyzer helps organisations grant precise permissions as requirements evolve, guiding users toward least privilege by enabling them to set, verify, and refine permissions.
In this presentation, Hazra will explore how business analysis practices can enhance the effectiveness of IAM Access Analyzer when solving real-world problems. The session will also discuss how AI can support business analysis workflows and assist in understanding the core concepts behind IAM Access Analyzer.
***
**Reinforcing Resilience in the Real World with Static Stability, Fault Isolation and Multiple Regions**
Speaker: Anshika Gupta
Level: 200
At AWS, resilience is viewed as a continuous process, built on years of experience working with customers operating critical workloads.
In this session, Anshika will explore how to design systems using AWS fault isolation boundaries and the concept of static stability to achieve predictable recovery times and high availability.
You’ll learn:
• How AWS Regions are designed and operated for resilience
• Key architectural patterns AWS services use to maintain operations during disruptions
• How static stability helps maintain availability under failure conditions
• Practical architecture patterns for building multi-region resilience
This session will showcase design principles, best practices, and example architectures that can help you meet your resilience requirements for mission-critical workloads.

Creative Conversations and Connections
This is a space for us to gather for an afternoon of flow, reflection, and creative kinship.
Bring along a past, ongoing or future creative project or artwork or idea to introduce yourself with. A sculpture, a tapestry, a poem, a song, a performance, a dance, a video. Something you'd like to share with others, something meaningful to you, or something you have questions about. It does not have to be completed- it can even be a small collection of inspirations you've been pondering over.
We’ll spend time creating together while having conversations about any questions or thoughts we might have about our intentions, inspirations, aspirations, anxieties, challenges, celebrations and struggles in relation to our creative identities and journeys.
This is not a workshop or art therapy, just a community space for people who value creating.
All forms of making and all levels are welcome — just come as you are. Bring your journal or any materials that support your practice. Art supplies will be provided.
Engineering Machine Consciousness Monthly Meetup
The discussion topic for this meetup will be identity and whether or not history is a necessary condition for consciousness as Dretske proposed.

How the mind works
The optimum computing machine is a subject many of us have studied. If you were building one how would you design it?
First the computer should be able to compute with perfect accuracy on any problem in the universe and produce answers which were always and invariably right.
Second the computer would have to be swift, working much more quickly than the problem and process could be vocally articulated.
Third the computer would have to be able to handle large numbers of variables and large numbers of problems simultaneously.
Forth, the computer would have to be able to evaluate its own data and there would have to remain available within it not only a record of its former conclusions but the evaluations leading to those conclusions.
Fifth, the computer would have to be served by a memory bank of nearly infinite capacity and would have to be available to the analytical portion of the computer in the smallest fractions of a second.
Sixth, the computer would have to be able to rearrange former conclusions or alter them in the light of new experience.
Seventh, the computer would need no exterior director, but would be entirely self determined about its programing guided only by the necessity –value of the solution which it itself would determine.
Eight the computer should be self servicing and self arming against present and future damage and would be able to estimate future damage.
Ninth the computer should be served by perception by which it could determine necessity –value.
Tenth ,the memory bank should store perceptions as perceived ,consecutive with time received with the smallest possible time divisions between perception .It would then store in color-Visio (moving),tone audio (flowing),odor ,tactile and self sensation ,all of them cross –coordinated .
Eleventh, for the purposes of solutions, it would have to be able to create new situations and imagine new perceptions hitherto not perceived and should be able to conceive these to itself in terms of tone –audio ,color-visio ,odor, tactile, and self sensation –and should be able to file anything so conceived as imagined ,labeled “memories”
Twelfth, the entire machine should be portable.
It might be somewhat astonishing at first to conceive such a computer .But the fact is, the machine is in existence .There are billions of them in use today and many ,many more billions have been made and used in the past .
In fact you’ve got one .for we are dealing with the human mind.

Walk & Talk About Life's Big Questions
[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations.
If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!).
**HOW IT WORKS**
**Step 1: Bring a topic**
Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event.
**Step 2: Circle up & share**
We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds.
**Step 3: Walk, talk & float**
We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!"
**Step 4: Feel more alive**
Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times.
*For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)*
**HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC**
A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about.
Recent topics include:
* "What are you passionate about right now?"
* "What makes a good friend?"
* "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?"
* "How do you want to be remembered?"
* "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?"
Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter.
**WHAT TO EXPECT**
This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.*
But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here.
**FAQ**
* Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk!
* We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space.
* We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space.
* Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know.
* Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic!
**LOGISTICS**
* If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event.
* This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs.
* Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details.
* If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋
**IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...**
[The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up.
* This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries. If the walks feel like a spark... The Board is the fire. Apply [here](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board).
