May 27 | Pause. Reflect. Release. A Guided Healing Circle & Fire Release
đż Pause. Reflect. Release.
**A Guided Healing Circle & Fire Release Experience**
đ
Wednesday, 27 May 2026
đ 7:00 PM â 9:00 PM
đ 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 weâve never fully processed.
We keep goingâoften 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 readyâto 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.
## đĽ Fire Release Experience
Toward the end of the evening, youâll be invited (if you choose) to take part in a symbolic fire release.
You may write down something youâre ready to let go ofâ
a past story, emotional weight, fear, or something youâve 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, weâll explore simple awareness practicesâconnecting with your body, your breath, your emotions, and your inner sense of clarity.
Thereâs nothing you need to âget right.â
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
⢠Please arrive on time to respect the group experience

How To Get Motivated
Come along and learn about the five ways to address a problem, handling backlogs, and what exactly control is.
SELF-CONFIDENCE! The key to your SUCCESS!
**Gain The Confidence to Be Unstoppable! Free Class.**
How to Achieve Self Confidence!
Without question, self confidence is the key to success. It determines how many of your goals you achieve in life and has an enormous impact on your happiness. It affects how people perceive you, your career achievements, your ability to take risks or try new endeavours, as well as your overall attitude toward yourself and others.
Self Confidence is something most people would like to have more of, but aren't sure how to get.
Did you ever feel more certain of yourself in the past?
Would you like to raise your self confidence ?
To increase self confidence, you have to understand what reduces it. If you know why this happens you can reverse the situation and rebuild your self esteem.
Self Confidence is self-determinism. One's belief in one's ability to determine his own course. As long as one has that, he's go the universe in his pocket. - L. Ron Hubbard.
This day you are able to Learn a few things about:
⢠The true source of security in life.
⢠How self-confidence, self respect and self trust interrelate, and what you can do to rehabilitate them.
⢠The exact steps to become more competent in whatever you do.
Today's free class will put you into a good position to help you achieve a new level of self-confidence, accomplish more and progress towards a higher level of personal survival.

From social clubs to strategyâunleashing true business value from communities.
Rebecka Isaksson and Lukas WĂźnsch will give some impulses on and thereafter moderate a lively discussion to Communities of Practice (CoPs). The goal of the session would be to demonstrate and discuss how Communities of Practices can evolve beyond simple âsocial clubsâ to become engines of strategic value. The impulse outlines the basics of effective CoPs, showing how they enhance innovation, creativity, employee wellbeing, and, ultimately, organisational productivity and profitability. The speakers will make very sure to properly blend the basic input re Communities of Practice with their practical experience from Community work across sectors.
**Expected outcomes**
Participants will walk away with a clear understanding of what makes Communities of Practice truly effective - and how they can evolve from informal social groups into engines of strategic value. Through a mix of practical impulses and a lively, moderated discussion, the session will unpack how CoPs strengthen innovation, creativity, wellbeing, and organizational performance. Attendees will gain concrete insights grounded in realâworld community work across sectors, leaving with actionable ideas for building and sustaining Communities of Practice that actually make a difference

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\.
Thereâs 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.
đż**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.
đ¤**CONNECTION ACTIVITY**
During the walk, youâll be invited to participate in structured conversations with different partners as we rotate every 15ish minutes.
Weâll 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.
đ**NEW HERE?**

Influencing change with science as your friend
**Your workshop:**
Product managers are often working from incomplete information - a customer or leader asks for a change, but the real need underneath it isn't always clear. And even when ideas are strong and teams invest real effort, there's no guarantee that what gets shipped will actually change behaviour or become part of everyday practice.
This workshop is an opportunity to slow down for an hour and explore how behavioural and implementation science can help design the human side of your work.
From understanding what people are really trying to do, through to validating ideas, bringing your team along, and measuring impact that goes beyond the pilot phase.
We'll work through some practical frameworks and implementation science strategies for influencing change. You'll also have time to apply these to something from your own work and share with the group.
Come ready to think, discuss, and leave with something you can actually use.
Doors: 6pm
Start: 630pm
**Our workshop lead:**
[Dr. Alex Waddell](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexandrawaddell/) is a behavioural and implementation scientist and the founder of CoFormed, a consultancy that partners with expert teams to turn excellent ideas into real-world impact. Alex brings expertise across behavioural science, implementation science, and service design to help teams design the human side of change by understanding what drives behaviour, what gets in the way, and what makes something part of everyday practice.

How is it that you can Help kids or yourself to become a better student!
Too many kids as well as teenagers and adults have problems with study.
Today's meetup will inform you about the basics in STUDY TECHNOLOGY that provides an understanding of the basics of learning and supplies exact ways to overcome all the pitfalls one can encounter during study. This is applicable to young children, teenagers (or their parents that are trying to help them) and adults alike.
Study Technology shows how one studies in order to comprehend a subject so one can apply it. Laws on which learning is based and workable methods have also been discovered for anyone to apply for themselves or when teaching others.
Too many students graduate from school and college unable to put to use what theyâve learned in school.
Itâs not that theyâre stupid or that their teachers didnât know how to teach.
More than likely it traces back to the one thing missing from most educationsâlearning how to learn in the first place.
We all went to school, yet isnât it odd that no one taught us how to study?
The information presented at this meetup can help anyone improve others or his own ability to learn.
It is a practical tool that parents and teachers alike can use to enhance a child's study performance. Youâll learn the barriers that lie between your own or a child's education.
And you will very quickly learn how to overcome them.
This technology will enable you or a child to pursue any subject with skill and confidence.
Teachers who have "hard to handle/distributive " or slow learners in class will absolutely love the amazing turn around most often seen in improved behaviour and student performance in class.
If you or your child has difficulties at school (or learning new things at work or online) than this meetup is important to you.
If you can not make it to our meetup than contact the organizer and arrange it to suit your time.
This technology can if one was to live far away be taught online. (extension course)
You may offcourse also opt to have this technology taught to your own child by experienced volunteeer staff or learn about this yourself and transfer this knowledge to those you want to have better grades.
Yes it is possible to improve anyone's study performance. All it takes is just 5 steps.
See you at this meetup.

**The idea for this group is to build a community where men can gather together and build connections & learn and grow from each other.**
How we start each meeting is by each of us checking in with our "roses and thorns" aka what are the good things and the bad things going on in your life recently?
Then we will go into a topic discussion.
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-

2. Non-Judgement - we respect and honor every manâs truth so that we may receive the same from others. While we may not agree on everything, we commit to respecting every manâs perspectives and engaging in honorable discussion with one another.
3. Be committed - honor your commitment to this group and to yourself. If you attend a meeting, please commit yourself fully to the meeting. Also be committed to your own journey. When we fail, we own it & clean it up.
4. Speak from the heart - this is NOT a space to âlook goodâ, have the ârightâ answers, and have it all together. Relax and know you are not alone. Be exactly who you are within the safety of this space.
5. Be supportive - This means always willing to provide encouragement to your fellow men, encourage action and momentum in each otherâs lives.. Be willing to challenge each other. Be willing to hold each other accountable.

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 yearâs Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it âa sure-fired crowd-pleaserâ that âjust might be the feel-good hit of the year!â Others say, âPaul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmerâ thatâs both âhilarious and deeply moving!â
