​Once a month, we gather to explore ourselves, our relationships, and the stories we carry through psychodrama, sociometry, and group experience. ​ 每个月一次，我们聚在一起，透过心理剧、社会计量，通过团体来探索自己、探索关系。 ​​ Sometimes we explore important relationships—those we are living with now, those we have lost, and those that continue to shape us. Sometimes we begin with a seemingly ordinary moment or a surreal image and discover how deeply it connects to our lives. ​ 有时，我们会谈到复杂的人家关系；那些正在经历的，已经过去的； 有时，我们会谈到选择、改变与成长。 有时，我们会从一个微不足道的瞬间出发，去寻找它与我们生命的相连。 ​​ Whether you are interested in personal growth, understanding yourself more deeply, exploring relationships, or simply meeting people who are willing to engage in genuine conversation, there is a place for you here. ​ 无论你希望探索一些内心更深层的东西，还是单纯想认识一些愿意真诚交流的人，这里都为你留有一个位置。 ​ ​No Performance, No psychology background or psychodrama experience is required. ​ 你不需要表演，不需要有心理学背景，也不需要有心理剧经验。 ​ ​We simply invite you to step out of the busyness of everyday life, spend some time with yourself, connect with others, and see life from a different perspective. ​ ​我们只是邀请你，在忙碌的生活之外，留一点时间给自己，给自己一个从不同角度看待自己，看待生活的机会。 ​ This is a free community event, generously supported by Psychodrama Australia.

Smashing! Try something new Thursday Interactive reality workshop - Tonight learn how to respond to questioning, by thinking on you feet Serious about improving your leadership - **Why mess, come to the best** Why is Smashing different to other speaking clubs? Just two member's thoughts, "The fun/laughs factor is definitely a point of difference. We keep it moving with high standards so it’s a nice balance. Too strict makes it tense and boring, too loose and we can lose the energy/commercial feel. SmashSpeak's vibe's in the sweet spot." "At other clubs I used to listen to long speeches and lectures, here we get so many chances to talk every meeting, that we have to improve" **Free parking** close: O'Connell and Cobden streets **IMPORTANT: Be on time, as doors close when the show starts** “Proudly Australian" – Free-flowing teamwork, greater good focus, sharing the stage, etc Multicultural Hub, 506 Elizabeth St (Opposite Queen Vic Market) Level 1, PURPLE Room (End of corridor) More to come...

Thanks to our Fine Diner Melanie for highlighting this three-week-only menu at renowned pasta spot Tipo 00 for truffle season. Here’s what you need to know about the food: Price - $165pp (optional wine pairing $105) ***Menu*** Focaccia, ricotta, basil oil Bomboloni 'cacio & pepe', black garlic & truffle Beef carpaccio, tomato, Parmigiano Reggiano & truffle Stracciatella, pear agrodolce, marjoram, almond Risotto al tartufo Rabbit pappardelle, hazelnut, marjoram & truffle Braised greens, almond puree Tartufomisu, chocolate, coffee, truffle cream & truffle Rice pudding, rhubarb & pistachio Yum! I have booked for 5 Fine Diners to enjoy Tipo 00’s Truffle Menu at $165 per person for dinner from 6pm on Saturday 4 July. 

Join the waitlist to express interest. After the first day or so of posting, once I have names in the waitlist, I’ll send you a ‘Meetup Message’ to confirm you have a spot and how to pay. You’ll need to send me $50 to secure your place (equivalent to the cancellation fee - this will be deducted from your bill when we settle up). Once paid I’ll move you from the waitlist to ‘Attending’. As these are small group events, there are often more Fine Diners interested than there are seats available. My approach to hosting an event is to share seats around amongst members of the group in as fair a manner as I can, including mixing Fine Diners regulars with newcomers. Please be respectful if there are events when you miss out on a spot. I will always message you so you know if you have secured a seat or are still waitlisted in case a seat opens up. Please check that you don’t have your settings blocking messages; if I can’t contact you, I’ll have to move on to the next person. Also if you don’t respond to my message offering you a spot within 3 days, I’ll let you know that I’m offering the seat to another person on the waitlist. 

Bring on the truffle fun(gi)!
