The Power of Self-Trust: Storytelling, Reflection & Connection
Hi Everyone!
It's been a while since I've posted here - but I'm back with something I'm genuinely excited about.
On Sunday 28 June, I'm hosting a live talk in Melbourne called *The Power of Self-Trust*. It is an inspirational talk for women on self-trust, confidence and identity, blending storytelling, reflection and real-life empowerment. The talk will be followed by light refreshments and community connection.
This group was always about creating space for women to come together - and this is exactly that!
Would love to see some new faces there!
Secure your spot here: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/the-power-of-self-trust-an-empowered-talk-with-bernadette-galbally-tickets-1989824557817?aff=oddtdtcreator

Join us for a refreshing walk around the scenic Albert Park Lake. It’s the perfect chance to connect with industry peers while getting in some steps!
I know many of you have been tuning in to my online events, but we've never had the opportunity to meet in person. Let's change that!
Check out the video from the last event: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/b4skv1sF-vY
We'll kick things off at **10 am sharp** at the Albert Park Fitness Station. Please, don't be late! We're hitting the trail around the lake as soon as we gather. And trust me, you won't want to miss it – unless you're up for a bit of a sprint to catch up! (we're going anti-clockwise)

Sunday Meditation | Community Building | Connection | Meet New People
**Who We are..... 🤝**
Our journey to bring people together began in January of 2022. The group was started with a simple intention to gather and meet some likeminded people - connecting through the powerful act of meditation and sharing our genuine selves while sitting in a circle that represents equality, harmony and wholeness( *we believe everyone in the circle is a teacher and a student at the same time)*.
And over the last 4 years of consistently coming together, we have fostered a beautiful, loving, dependable community where members from all walks of life have experienced a sacred space to sit in silence together and meditate, share their authentic selves, give presence to others and forge meaningful and long lasting connections.
The Meditations are guided by Sana(co-founder and host), who is a Trained and certified meditation teacher by the Meditation Association of Australia, and has been guiding meditations for 3+ years in corporate and community settings.
✨ **Do you wish to....**
* Experience a simple yet powerful meditation and breathing practice to find calm, relaxation and clarity
* Connect with like-minded people in your local community and foster meaningful connections
* Meet others who are passionate about growing, uplifting themselves, and supporting others
* Share insights from your personal journey (or simply listen and learn)
Or maybe you just want to...
☮️ **Spend your Sunday evening in a peaceful, zen space and meet new people? Bring a friend (or two!) and let’s connect.**
**What’s on the evening’s flow?**
* **Open meet & greet** – connect and settle in
* **5 min guided meditation** to land into the space and connect within
* **Sharing circle** (totally optional!) – share your thoughts or simply listen
* **20-30 min guided meditation** – for relaxation and deeper connection
**Where?**
📍 **250 George St, Fitzroy VIC 3065**
Enter through the church gates. You’ll see a small garden on the left and stairs on the right leading up to the **Dance of Life Yoga Studio (first door on your right upstairs).**
**What to bring?**
* **Donation:** A contribution of **$15 or more is recommended**.
Your donations directly help us cover venue, meetup membership and other costs, provide valuable resources, and keep this meditation community alive and growing.
* **Warm jumper/jacket** (just in case!)
* **Water**
* **Any books/resources/inspiration you’d love to share**
**Important Notes:**
* Spaces are **limited**, so if you can’t make it, please update your RSVP to “Not going” or send us a quick message.

The Monthly Reset: Walk, Reflect, Connect
Instagram: @findyourtribemelb
Take a pause from the hustle and join us for **The Monthly Reset** \- a space for driven and ambitious people to reflect on the past month\, set fresh goals\, and connect with other growth\-minded individuals\.
There’s something powerful about sharing your reflections and intentions with other growth-minded individuals. When you're surrounded by people who value progress, purpose, and self-awareness, it creates a natural sounding board for ideas, clarity, and encouragement. These kinds of conversations can help you see things differently, feel more supported, and stay aligned with the goals that truly matter to you.
🌿**MEETING POINT**
Let's meet outside Botanic Gardens Visitor Centre at 2:00pm. Anyone who would like to grab a coffee can do so, then at 2:15pm, we'll take a walk around the Tan.
🤝**CONNECTION ACTIVITY**
During the walk, you’ll be invited to participate in structured conversations with different partners as we rotate every 15ish minutes.
We’ll provide reflection prompts to guide your discussions on:
* What worked well this past month
* What challenged you or stretched your limits
* Intentions or goals for the month ahead
* What success and balance look like for you
This is a space to connect authentically, think intentionally, and feel supported by others who care about growth and alignment - both professionally and personally.
👋**NEW HERE?**
Welcome! Find Your Tribe Melbourne is a community mostly around 25-40s who are passionate about connection, purpose, and personal development. We’re open-minded, respectful, and always excited to welcome new faces. Whether you come solo or with a friend, we’ll make sure you feel included and supported.
Pushing outside your comfort zone can be tough, but it's where growth and friendship begin. 🌱
If you have any questions or just want to say hi before the event, feel free to message me!

*Looking to meet new people, explore nature, and have a good laugh along the way?*
This is your perfect Sunday plan! 🎉
We’re excited to invite you to our upcoming Melbourne Social Hike. A welcoming day out where the focus is all about fun, friendships and fresh air. Whether you come solo or bring a mate, you’ll leave with new connections and memories!
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
**🚙 Carpooling Makes It Happen**
At Social Hikes Australia, carpooling is a big part of what makes our hikes possible. Every extra seat means another person gets to join. Fewer cars, easier logistics, and a more social, fun start to the day.
Carpooling is also a great way to meet people before the hike even begins, share a few laughs, get to know each other, and arrive together. It’s simple, social, and one of the best parts of the experience 🌿
💡 Carpool tickets are offered at a discounted price to encourage drivers to offer seats and make the hikes accessible for everyone.
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
👉 **For Drivers**
If you’ve got spare seats, offering a lift makes a big difference. It helps others join, reduces parking stress and makes the ride more enjoyable from the start.
👉 **For Passengers**
Passengers are to contact drivers directly using the details provided in the carpool sheet (linked at the top of the description). The sheet shows information from carpooler tickets (Drivers Offering Seats).
✨ **Best practice:** Try to organise your ride before purchasing a ticket to avoid last-minute stress.
**Please note:** Drivers and passengers should stick to the arrangements they make. We do not recommend swapping drivers or cars after you’ve agreed on a ride. If you do decide to change, please make sure all parties are clearly informed and agree to avoid confusion.
If a driver forgets, gets mixed up, or doesn’t pick you up, Social Hikes Australia (and your driver) are **not liable** for any inconvenience caused. For this reason, it is best to keep things simple with the driver you first arranged with.
⚠️ **Important Notes**
* Please stick with the carpool arrangement you agree on.
* Avoid swapping drivers unless everyone is clearly informed and agrees.
* Petrol, parking, and other costs are not included in the ticket price. These should be agreed upon directly between the driver and passengers.
* Social Hikes Australia is not responsible for any issues with private carpool arrangements.
📍 **Pick-Up Info**
Drivers will share their preferred pick-up locations, such as major CBD train stations like Parliament, Richmond, South Yarra, Southern Cross, or North Melbourne.
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
**🤩 Why Join?**
🌟 Make new friends in a relaxed, casual way.
🌟Enjoy nature and fresh air while meeting like-minded people your age
🌟Friendly vibes full of laughs, chats and good times guaranteed
🌟You never know. Today’s hiking buddy could be tomorrow’s uni mate, housemate, or travel buddy!
🌟Your safety is our priority. Equipped with a first aid kit on hand.
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
🎟️ **Tickets:**
**All tickets are $20 per person.**
This helps cover:
* Public liability insurance
* A $2.40 contribution per ticket directly to Parks Victoria
* Experienced guides with a tour operator license who know the trails well
* First aid kit and safety equipment for the group
🚗 **Carpoolers Discount**
If you’re driving and offer seats to passengers, your ticket is only **$5** 🙌.
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
**🥾 What to Bring:**
👟 Comfy hiking shoes
💧 2–3L of water
🥪 Snacks/lunch
☀️ Sun protection (hat, sunnies, sunscreen)
🦟 Bug spray (always a good idea)
🎒 Optional: hiking poles, wet weather gear/raincoat
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
📌 **How It Works:**
After purchasing your ticket, you’ll receive a link to our private Instagram group chat.
All final details will be shared there: Hike route, meet-up location and any last-minute updates.
Friendly pace, friendly faces! This hike is intentionally slow–medium so everyone can enjoy and chat along the way.
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
🍽️ **Food Arrangement**
After our hike, we love keeping the good vibes rolling with a meal together. We’ll suggest a café or restaurant that’s usually on the way back toward the city**,** so it’s easy for everyone and avoids extra driving.
It’s always a highlight of the day swapping stories from the trail, sharing laughs, and getting to know your fellow hikers even better over some good food.
Joining is optional, but most people stick around because it’s such a fun way to finish the adventure. Everyone just covers their own meal, and we’ll confirm the spot in the Instagram group chat on the day.
When booking, you’ll be asked if you’d like to join: Yes / No / Not Sure. The organisers will confirm the restaurant or bar on the day, based on feedback.
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
**⚠️ Important:**
Must be 18+ years old to attend.
Hike at your own risk. You are responsible for your own safety and belongings.
Respectful, kind behaviour is a must. We are a positive and welcoming community.
Zero tolerance for any unwelcome behaviour. We’re here to have fun, together!
For this hike, we recommend that all participants download the AllTrails app before the event. This will help you:
* View the trail map in advance
* Track your progress during the hike
* Stay on course in case you get separated from the group
Having AllTrails ensures everyone can enjoy the hike safely and confidently.
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-

Walk, Talk & Connect @ St. Kilda
Hi Everyone,
The next walk & talk is happening Sunday 28th @ 1pm.
We're meeting @ **Luna Park (entrance)** then walking together from there.
For newcomers, this group is meant to help participants nurture and create a comfortable, trustworthy and safe emotional space to connect with other men, while sharing vulnerabilities about themselves.
Men of all ages welcome.
This will provide another great opportunity to practice being more present in the moment, authentic within ourself, while challenging our ability to break the ice with others in attendance. Let's continue practicing connecting in a deeper way with new people we meet. This group will help reinforce the benefit of showing vulnerability with others, while staying authentic to ourselves.
This Sunday's group will be led by **Ra'id.** (Mindset Coach)
and Co-led by **Fabien** (Group Facilitator)
Looking forward to seeing you there.
(message me thru meetup if needed)
Sunday Brunch: Money, Meaning & Working Differently
A warm, low-pressure Sunday brunch for good humans to meet, connect and have real conversations.
This first gathering will centre around the theme:
## **Money, Meaning & Working Differently**
**REGISTER HERE**: [https://events.humanitix.com/good-humans-good-vibes-sunday-brunch-money-meaning-and-working-differently-june-2026](https://events.humanitix.com/good-humans-good-vibes-sunday-brunch-money-meaning-and-working-differently-june-2026)
We’ll be joined by two wonderful co-hosts who are both building intentional careers, and are both avid fans of the book *We Should All Be Millionaires* by Rachel Rodgers.
Together, we’ll open up a gentle, honest conversation about money, work, wealth, values and sustainability:
* Can good humans want more money?
* What does it mean to build wealth while staying connected to your values?
* Why do so many thoughtful, values-led people feel uncomfortable talking about money?
* How do we build work, careers and businesses that support our lives?
* What changes when more kind, thoughtful and justice-minded people have more resources?
* How do we price, earn, negotiate, grow or make decisions in ways that feel more aligned?
You do not need to have read the book. You do not need to run a business. You do not need to have your money stuff figured out.
Just come as you are.
## **What to expect**
This will be a casual brunch with a little bit of gentle structure.
There will be:
* A short welcome
* A relaxed conversation with our co-hosts
* Space for everyone to meet and chat
* Good humans, good conversations and good vibes
* A warm, friendly environment where you can connect without needing to perform
The aim is simple: to create a space where values-aligned people can meet, share ideas, and leave feeling a little more energised, supported and connected.
## **Registration**

## **A note on the vibe**
This is a connection-first gathering.
You might meet people you could work with, collaborate with, refer to, learn from or cheer on - and that would be lovely. The heart of the event, though, is good conversation, generosity, curiosity and care.
Please come with respect for the room and the people in it. We want this to feel warm, inclusive and easy to be part of.
## **Co-hosts**
The conversations at this first brunch will be gently co-hosted by two wonderful good humans.
###

### **Anya Roslan**
Anya is down-to-earth, generous and full of energy - the kind of person who makes a room feel more alive, more honest and more possible.
She is currently launching **soft pause**, a wellness brand centred on rest, care and more sustainable ways of living and working. Alongside this, Anya works as a fractional growth lead and strategist, helping ambitious teams grow with more clarity and momentum.

### **Sakshi S. Jansen**
Sakshi is warm, funny and wonderfully direct - the person you want at the table when the conversation gets honest, interesting and a little bit cheeky.
She is the founder of **Koala Lab**, an email/newsletter strategy specialist helping founders, experts and creative businesses build stronger relationships with their audiences through better content, email and communication.
***
Together, they bring **humour**, **honesty** and a **refreshingly human** point of view to conversations about **money**, **work**, **ambition**, **rest**, and what it means to build **a life that** actually **feels good to live**.
## **Accessibility and inclusion**
We want this to feel welcoming and accessible.
If there is anything that would help you feel more comfortable attending, please reach out.
You are welcome to come alone.
You are especially welcome if you are introverted, do not know anyone, or are still figuring out what you are building, doing or becoming.
## **Questions?**
Reach out to Lavinia via the Contact host button here or message Lavinia on LinkedIn.
## **Come for the brunch. Stay for the good humans.**
We would love to have you there.

But always good humans, always inclusive, and always good vibes.

Have you ever experienced a “coincidence” that felt too perfect to ignore? A chance encounter, repeated sign, or unexpected moment that seemed to arrive right on time?
