Vivi will guide us through their artistic process in conversation with Mollie Cronin, author and artist of *Future Me is Fat* (Conundrum Press). We’ll have drinks, snacks (of course), and music. The event starts at 7 PM. After the conversation, there will be a Q&A, followed by time to mingle and celebrate yet another release from one of the most distinctive emerging voices in Canadian comics. **The ticket includes one copy of *Vivisect*.

On this day the Christ stands before God as the representative of humanity, the “eldest in a great family of brothers,” and focalises the united aspiration of humanity into an invocative demand for more Light and Love. Through Christ, the response of deity pours forth into humanity, uplifting human consciousness and establishing a culture of goodwill and right human relations on earth.

The Gemini path is one of bridge-building: learning to hold opposing poles in creative tension until duality resolves into unity. **Communication, the Messenger, and the Mind** Ruled by Mercury, Gemini governs the mind, language, and the transmission of ideas. Mercury in the Ageless Wisdom is the divine Messenger — the intermediary through which soul impression reaches the personality. **The Will-to-Good and Right Human Relations** At the Festival of Goodwill, Gemini becomes the vessel through which Love-Wisdom flows into the world as the will-to-good — active, intelligent love expressing itself through right relationship between all peoples and nations. *** ## **Planetary Rulers** **Exoteric Ruler: Mercury ☿ —** The divine Messenger, governing the lower mind as a responsive instrument for soul impression — the very faculty the disciple uses to build the bridge between higher and lower. **Esoteric Ruler: Venus ♀ —** At the soul level, Venus illumines the deeper truth of Gemini's duality: that the two poles are complementary aspects of one Life drawn together through love-wisdom. **Hierarchical Ruler: Earth 🜨︎ -** At the highest level of initiation, Earth as ruler points to Gemini's intimate relationship with planetary service — the work of bringing spiritual reality into tangible manifestation. *** ### **Positive Qualities** Capacity for Synthesis and Bridging Versatility and Adaptability Brilliant Communication and Teaching Love-Wisdom in Relationship Capacity to Hold Duality in Balance ### **Negative Qualities** Restlessness and Inconsistency Superficiality and Dispersion of Energy Duality Without Resolution Intellectual Cleverness Without Depth Gossip and Misuse of the Word *** ## \~ The Labour of Hercules \~ ## The Gathering of the Golden Apples of the Hesperides Hercules is sent to gather the golden apples of wisdom from the garden of the Hesperides — but no one will tell him where the garden is. He wanders through the world asking for directions, falling into traps and distractions. One of the traps is the most Geminian of all: a false teacher named Busiris who captures him through the very gift of eloquence and the promise of wisdom. This is the shadow side of Mercury — the power of the word turned away from the soul, used to bind rather than to liberate. The Gemini disciple must learn to discriminate between the voice of the true teacher and the voice of glamour. Eventually freed, Hercules makes his way north — the direction of spirit — and there encounters Atlas, who bears the weight of the world upon his shoulders. In an act of pure service, Hercules takes on that burden so that Atlas may retrieve the apples. This, too, is a Gemini teaching: that wisdom is not won through seeking alone, but through the willingness to bear the world's burden — to step outside the personal quest and serve. The apples come not to the one who grasps, but to the one who gives. This labour teaches the Gemini disciple that wisdom cannot be seized or hoarded — it must be lived in relationship. The golden apples represent the fruits of the spirit, the gifts of the soul, available only when the personal self steps aside and the soul is free to express through all encounters and exchanges. True communication is not the transmission of information but the transmission of light — and the Gemini initiate learns that every relationship is an opportunity for this sacred exchange.

🌲🥾 **CROTHERS WOODS TRAIL HIKE & DAIRY QUEEN STOP** 🥾🍦 Real Trails, A Solid Climb & An Ice Cream Finish Toronto doesn’t have many *true* hiking experiences — but this is one of them. Join us for a more active, nature-focused walk through Crothers Woods, one of the city’s best spots if you’re looking for something that actually feels like a hike. This isn’t your typical flat city stroll. There are hills, forest paths, and a proper climb — especially at the end (Pottery Road 👀). But don’t worry… we’ve got a reward waiting. This is not a formal tour. It’s a social hike — a bit more effort, a bit more nature, and a great group to do it with. 📲 **Join Our WhatsApp Group:**[ Click here to join](https://chat.whatsapp.com/DRFTkxRlHS4B3IL1lMleUd) \*\*\* **🚶‍♂️ What We’ll Do** We’ll start at Broadview Station and head south along Broadview before making our way down Pottery Road into the Don Valley. From there, we’ll connect to the Don Valley trails and enter Crothers Woods, where we’ll hike through forested paths and take a short break along the way. After the hike, we’ll make our way back — finishing with the climb up Pottery Road (the final challenge 💪). And then… we reward ourselves with a stop at Dairy Queen for some well-earned ice cream. 🍦 We’ll end back near Broadview Station. \*\*\* 🌦️ **Weather & Expectations** This hike happens rain or shine. Please come prepared — trails may be muddy, and conditions can vary. This is a slightly more challenging walk than most of our events: ✔️ Uneven trails ✔️ Some hills ✔️ One bigger climb at the end Good footwear is important. Also — this is NOT a guided or historical tour. It’s about movement, nature, and being social. \*\*\* 🧢 **Meetup Details** 📍 Meetup Location: Outside Broadview Subway Station 🫎 I’ll be wearing my Moose Hat ⏰ Meetup Time: 11:00 AM I will only wait 5 minutes. Early is on time. On time is late. We’ll head out promptly. End Point: Broadview Subway Station \*\*\* 🎟️ Meetup Fee: $5 cash in person or e-transfer to 📧 \*\*[mathewmaclean@hotmail.com**](http://mathewmaclean@hotmail.com%2A%2A/) This helps support the group and allows us to keep hosting events like this. Thank you for supporting community! 💖 \*\*\* 🎒 **What to Bring** Water Good hiking/walking shoes (important!) A snack Weather-appropriate clothing (trail-ready 🌧️🌿) Optional: cash/card for ice cream 🍦 **Please also use the washroom before arriving, as stops are limited.** \*\*\* 🌈 **Who Is This For?** This group is open to anyone who wants to be social and make friends — whether single or not. **We also host:** 🎬 Movies 🚶 Walks & hikes 🎭 Arts & culture outings 🍽️ Restaurant gatherings There’s always something happening. \*\*\* **REMEMBER:** You’re welcome to just show up on the day if you’re unsure about your schedule. And as always, sometimes plans shift and events may need to be canceled — please keep an eye on updates. \*\*\* 👤 Organizer: Mathew Questions?
