**A Guided Healing Circle & Fire Release Experience**

Wednesday, 27 May 2026
š 7:00 PM ā 9:00 PM
š RYVE
Level 1, 38 Shafton St, Huntingdale VIC 3166
## A gentle space to slow down and reconnect
In the busyness of life, we carry so much quietly within us.
Unspoken thoughts. Old emotions. Stress, grief, or experiences weāve never fully processed.
We keep goingāoften without giving ourselves the space to truly pause.
This evening is an invitation to slow down.
To breathe.
To reconnect with yourself.
And if you feel readyāto gently release what no longer serves you.
## What to expect
This is a small, guided healing circle designed to feel calm, safe, and supportive.
⢠Gentle grounding and guided reflection
⢠Simple sensory awareness practices
⢠A calm and welcoming group environment
⢠Optional sharing (no pressure to speak)
⢠A symbolic fire release experience
No prior experience is needed.
You are welcome exactly as you are.
## š„ Fire Release Experience
Toward the end of the evening, youāll be invited (if you choose) to take part in a symbolic fire release.
You may write down something youāre ready to let go ofā
a past story, emotional weight, fear, or something youāve been quietly carrying.
As it burns, it becomes a moment of intention:
to release, to shift, and to move forward.
Many people describe this moment as grounding, emotional, and deeply liberating.
## A gentle, grounded approach
Throughout the evening, weāll explore simple awareness practicesāconnecting with your body, your breath, your emotions, and your inner sense of clarity.
Thereās nothing you need to āget right.ā
Just come as you are and experience the space in your own way.
## A safe and supportive space
There is no pressure to share.
You are welcome to simply sit, listen, and be present.
This is not therapy or counselling,
but a guided space for reflection, awareness, and connection.
## Hosted by Vivienne Vu
Through her work with Kismetrix \| True Connection\, Vivienne creates spaces for presence\, emotional awareness\, and meaningful human connection\.
## Important Notes
⢠Small, intimate group to maintain a safe environment
⢠Optional participation in all activities

50+ Filmmakers/Actors Gather Every Wednesday - Join Us!
Join us every **Wednesday at 5 PM** at the Emporium food court (located behind Grillād Burger Restaurant in the CBD, not near Melbourne Station) for a dynamic networking event tailored for filmmakers, actors, and film enthusiasts. Afterward, we continue the evening with Happy Hour drinks at a nearby bar and a chance to grab dinner together. Understanding that schedules vary, feel free to join at any time that suits you. Rain or shine, our community has gathered every week for the past year, maintaining a consistent and welcoming environment.
Our group has grown remarkably, with a **weekly turnout of over 50 participants**, blending newcomers with regulars to create a vibrant, diverse community. Feel free to bring friends interested in filmmaking; itās a great way to introduce new faces to our expanding network.
Whether youāre a writer, actor, animator, or independent filmmaker, come share your experiences, discuss current projects, or chat about favorite films. This event fosters connections among like-minded individuals, encourages friendships, and opens doors for collaboration.
At **7 PM**, we move to The Carlton Club, a five-minute walk away, where we continue networking in a more formal rooftop setting over drinks and food. This change of venue offers an ideal environment to keep conversations flowing.
**RSVP** to help us gauge attendance and become part of a growing network of film professionals and enthusiasts. Though the event begins in the afternoon, the relationships you build here can last well into the night and beyond.
**What to Expect:**
*Our Wednesday meetup is primarily a large networking event for industry professionals. Thereās no set theme, workshop, or speaker. Itās a relaxed gathering where filmmakers, actors, and creatives can connect, discuss projects, share needs, and learn from each other. Conversations flow freely around the table, fostering an environment of growth and camaraderie. Beyond Wednesdays, we also host exclusive events such as table reads, cinematography workshops with Panasonic, member screenings, and more. Each week brings fresh dialoguesāsome participants discuss their weekend shoots, others exchange insights with seasoned producers and directors, and a few engage in filmmaking exercises. Itās a space designed for creative engagement without strict structure or formal oversight.*
*Note: Our community emphasizes collaboration, friendship, and goodwill rather than promotional activities. If you wish to promote a workshop, course, screening, or similar event, please contact the organizers first. Promotional privileges are generally reserved for trusted, long-standing members.

Slow Melbourne - Tram Ride, Conversations & Unexpected Views
Ever noticed how some of the best conversations happen while walking, travelling, or simply sharing an experience?
With PTV free this month, it felt like the perfect excuse to do something a little different š
Tomorrow we're hopping on one of Melbourneās most scenic tram routes and slowly exploring the city together.
No pressure. No networking. No forced introductions.
Just people, views, stories, and a little adventure.
š Meet: Southern Cross Station (under the large clocks near the main entrance)
š Time: Tomorrow, 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM
š Route: Route 96 Tram (towards St Kilda)
š° Cost: $4 (helps cover Meetup platform costs)
We'll ride together, hop off for a short wander, and leave space for natural conversations to unfold.
Along the ride we'll have simple connection prompts and mini challenges:
* Spot something outside that reminds you of a memory
* Point out the most āMelbourneā thing you see
* Share a place in the world you'd move to tomorrow
* Find something unusual and tell us why it caught your attention
**Payment details**

šØ Street Art Photo Walk & Conversation - Melb CBD
Join us for a relaxed street art walk through Melbourne's CBD, exploring laneways, murals, and hidden creative spots while enjoying easy, natural conversation along the way.
If you love photography, bring your camera or smart phone (charged) to snap some fun photos along the way. We often pose in front of our fave artworks. Be prepared to be silly with me š¤Ŗā¦ (optional of course)
This event is about moving at a comfortable pace, noticing whatās around us, and letting conversation unfold organically as we walk. Thereās no need for art knowledge - curiosity is more than enough.
The walk has a **light structure to help things flow**, but nothing rigid. Youāre welcome to chat as much or as little as you like and enjoy the experience in your own way.
After the walk, there are options to go for some Haigh's chocolate, or an afternoon dumplings snack, or play games at KingPin - talk to the people as we walk and see who might like to join you afterwards (completely optional).
This event is best suited to adults **approx. 25ā50 who are young-at-heart** and enjoy exploring the city, being outdoors, and connecting through shared experiences. Strict age limit = 18+
Recommendation: Download the "Street Art Cities" app which we will use to hunt down the art.

Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Hereās a description, trailer and plan for this event:
DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor.
BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this yearās Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it āa sure-fired crowd-pleaserā that ājust might be the feel-good hit of the year!ā Others say, āPaul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmerā thatās both āhilarious and deeply moving!ā
