"Good Vibrancy" Morning Practice (Mindful Movement/Breath-work in the Park)
Good Vibrancy is a simple 45-minute routine for universal love based on the world's great spiritual traditions - adapted to optimise for freedom, abundance and prosperity.
It is based on the unique personal practice I have developed doing approximately 1,000 hours of self-directed meditation in recent years (and many more hours of contemplation).
\*\*\*\*\*
**7.30am: Good Vibrancy (45-min)**
The morning routine is done standing up and is a sequence of 6 parts:
**1\. Spirit Breathing**
\- 5 minutes of moving breath\-work for inspiration
\- Balance yin\-yang\, asking\-receiving
**2\. Active Sensation**
\- 10 minutes of mindful movement for grace
\- Develop effortless confidence and presence
**3\. Heart Invocation**
\- 10 minutes of compassion and gratitude \(\+ optional prayer\)
\- Open your heart to giving generously and appreciating what you have
**4\. Attentive Release**
\- 10 minutes of standing meditation with letting go
\- Let your mind settle\, grounding itself in a neutral posture
**5\. Life Visualisation**
\- 5\-10 minutes visualising the past \(story\) and future \(script\)
\- Feel that your past is in fact perfect just as it was and your destined success is drawing you effortlessly in closer each day
**6\. Energy Sublimation**
\- 5\-10 minutes of energy\-work
\- Invoke divine inspiration and connect with your inner king/queen
\*\*\*\*\*
**8.15am: Quick Coffee/Breakfast at KereKere Green (optional)**
At around 8.15am we will finish the practice.
Part of the reason for meeting in-real-life in a park as a group is to meet other people and get off the computer screens etc!
That's why we invite people to have a quick 15-min coffee and chat at the nearby cafe (KereKere Green).
\*\*\*\*\*
Our Melbourne community connects in person to do the practice and have brunch on the weekend...
\- South Melbourne beach on Saturdays 10am
\- Yarra Bend forest on Sundays 10am
Port Melbourne Walks – Fresh Air, Friendly Faces
Looking to get outside, clear your head, and connect with good people? Join us for a relaxed walk around the beautiful streets and coastline of Port Melbourne.
This is a casual meetup—no fitness goals, no pressure. Just a friendly stroll, good conversation, and a reason to step away from screens and into the fresh air. Whether you’re new in town, working from home, or just want a social reason to walk, you’re very welcome.
Come as you are. Comfy shoes, water bottle, and curiosity are all you need.
**Optional:** After the walk, some of us might grab a coffee nearby — feel free to join if you’re up for it!

🍕 Eat, Drink, Dance… and Actually Eat This Time: Eat & Walk Adventure
**🍕 Eat, Drink, Dance… and Actually Eat This Time: Choose‑Your‑Own Eat & Walk Evening 🍕**
**++Update: The event is proving popular I'm going to limit the numbers to 20 until I can confirm with Topolinos pizza how many people they can cater to, once I know, then I'll adjust max numbers++**
Look, I’ve realised something slightly embarrassing: the Eat activity in the Eat Drink Dance Melbourne title has been treated like the quiet kid in the group project. Neglected. Overlooked. Underfed.
Time to make amends — with carbs, twilight, and a little light cardio.
We'll head down to Topolino Pizza in St.Kilda on Fitzroy St. They have a big menu if you'd prefer something different and prefer a drink as well.
**Location:** [Topolino Pizza ](https://maps.app.goo.gl/qFsqY2HMcfYFYbBj9)
Because it’s a bit too sweethearty to plonk down at dinner with total strangers straight away, we’re warming things up with a breezy 5km ice‑breaker walk. Think of it as foreplay for pizza.
**⏰ Start time: 6.30pm Sharp**
**⏳ Arrival time**: 6.15pm — I’m not waiting for stragglers so get there on time.
**⏱ If you’re late**: Meet us at Topolinos around 7.45pm and pretend you were there the whole time.
**🌙 Evening & Twilight Walk Route**
We’ll glide (or shuffle, no judgement) from the Botanic Gardens Visitor Centre near the Shrine of Remembrance, wander past the Melbourne Aquatic Centre, the swans and fish at Albert Park lake, and finish triumphantly at Topolinos Pizza Restaurant — where the real bonding begins.
**🍽 Choose Your Own Adventure (Carb Edition**)
**Option 1 — Walk + Pizza**
Join the evening parade all the way to Topolinos and reward yourself with pizza or whatever edible joy calls your name. Make your own way home after banter, food and drinks.
**Option 2 — Pizza Only**
Skip the walk, arrive fresh and fabulous at Topolinos, and meet the sweaty romantics who did the trek. Be there around 7.45 PM. Look for the ravenous bunch.
**Option 3 — Walk + Pizza + Walk**
For the overachievers, romantics, and people who “just love steps”: walk to Topolinos, feast, then stroll back through the lovely twilight around Albert Park lake to the Shrine and Visitor Centre. Carbs in, carbs out, smug glow achieved.
**✨ Vibe Check**
Fun. Flirty. Lightly chaotic. A little wholesome, a little unhinged, and very Melbourne.
Come for the walk, stay for the pizza, leave with new friends, a warm glow, and possibly a new favourite ritual.
👀**Group Rules and Event Etiquette**
**Fitness Requirements**:
**Walking:** 3 to 4km/hr
Ensure you have adequate fitness, it's unfair for the group to wait extended periods for you. You may be asked to exit the event as a consequence.
**Very Fast or Very Slow People**
It's a group activity the organiser can't manage the group if people are everywhere, please consider going by yourself, joining faster groups or having adequate fitness.
**Busy People**
Best to give yourself some wiggle room, or not attend the event if you have time constraints. Things rarely go to time, especially when having fun.
**⚠️+++VERY IMPORTANT+++**
**People Who Do A No Show**.
This is far too common for small group events, there may be people on a waitlist wanting to come and unable to because of the No Show, hence 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 likely 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 if there is a waitlist, very unfair to those people.
**People Not On The Going List**
This is a major security concern, **DO NOT TURN UP RANDOMLY**.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 the organiser if you will be late. It's up to you to catch up. This may not be possible for some events.
**Second Chances**
Please communicate with the organiser if you do not want to be blocked and removed from the group
🚩**Disclaimer: No Liability & Organiser Indemnity**
By participating in this event, you acknowledge and accept full personal responsibility for your own safety, wellbeing, and belongings. The organiser assumes no liability for injury, loss, or damage incurred during the activity. Participation is entirely at your own risk.

Attention, people 🚨
Please read carefully to the rules ⚠️
If you’ve RSVPd and you’re intention ISN’T to attend my meetup, please don’t RSVP. 🛑 ✋
-Only Rsvp if you’re actually keen on attending. ✅
AGAIN, IF YOU DECIDE NOT TO ATTEND, CHANGE IT TO “not attending” ONE HOUR BEFORE THE EVENT STARTS
Again! Don’t RSVP if you’re not 100% attending. By u Rsvping and not attending, I see it as “playing games”. 😡I take my meetups events seriously
Why it’s important to join meetups ?
It’s in our DNA to connect with people. Let’s face it, we are social creatures and we need to be connected with one another. If you go back to our grandparents, they would be connected in a community (or village) and everyone would know each other.
Nowadays, we no longer live like this because there are big cities and we are continually moving fast, and disconnection has been widespread. This is why connection is important. We need to bring back connection.
If you have any questions, please feel free to inbox me me a direct message.
Looking forward to seeing u all there.✌🏽peace Kind regards, Abraham

To ensure you get a spot on a trivia team:
* Please arrive by 7:15 PM, or notify the hosts that you are running late by 7:15 PM. If you arrive after 7:15 or don't notify the hosts, you are not guaranteed a spot on a trivia team and may need to form your own, separate team.
