**The Telepathy Tapes podcast** brought the ESP abilities of autistic children to the world’s attention, with several studies exploring this association more closely. However, the neurological effects of autism can affect other abilities as well – like present-life memory and even past-life memories. **Jim Matlock and his team are pioneers** in this new cutting-edge field of study - now exploring it more systematically than ever before, with new findings still coming to light. **Some autistic people have outstanding memory** capabilities, while also struggling in other areas. But other autistic people are unable to form the basic episodic memories that underlie autobiographical recall. And research is revealing that the same factors impacting present-life memory can impact past-life memory as well. **In this session, Jim Matlock will discuss** several case studies of autistic children and adults to describe how autobiographical past-life memories can either be suppressed or enhanced under autism. **About Jim Matlock PhD:** * Anthropologist and world-class reincarnation researcher * Creator of the 'Processual Soul Theory' through his comprehensive, multicultural and interdisciplinary approach * 45+ years involvement in parapsychology and reincarnation studies * Editorial Board member of the *Journal of Scientific Exploration* * Editorial Board member of the Journal of Near-Death Studies * Research Fellow with the Parapsychology Foundation, Inc. * Winner of 2021 Parapsychological Association Book Award for Signs of Reincarnation: Exploring Beliefs, Cases, and Theory (2019) * Author of a multitude of academic publications on reincarnation * Curator of top-notch FB group "Signs of Reincarnation" **Online Option:** While this is billed as an in-person event, there will be online access as well.

🌟 **How To** **Be A Social Butterfly And...** ### *Practice Group Conversations the Neurodivergent Way!!* Do you ever watch people effortlessly move between groups at events and wonder how they do it? Do you want to feel confident joining conversations, adding thoughtful insights, and creating real connection without forcing yourself to perform? This session is a practice lab for learning how to navigate groups with awareness, curiosity, and genuine presence. *** 💬 **What This Session Is About** In many social spaces the real skill is not talking more. The real skill is **listening deeply and adding value at the right moment**. In this workshop we explore how to become the kind of person who can enter conversations naturally, understand what people are really talking about, and contribute something meaningful. This workshop helps you practise: • listening to the context of a conversation before speaking • noticing what people might be missing, needing, or feeling • adding thoughtful insight at the right moment • asking powerful questions that deepen the discussion • recognising whether a group needs ideas, empathy, energy, or curiosity When you listen carefully enough, what you say can land in a way that makes people pause and think "That was thoughtful. I never considered that before." *** 🧠 **The Real Secret of Working a Room** Many people believe social success in groups comes from talking about themselves or trying to impress others. In reality the opposite is true. People remember the person who **added value** to the conversation. Sometimes that value is an idea. Sometimes it is a thoughtful question. Sometimes it is simply recognising and validating the emotion behind what someone is sharing. We will practise learning to notice: • what people are talking about intellectually • what emotions might be underneath the conversation • when someone might need empathy and space • when someone might want energetic discussion and ideas Different groups need different things. The skill is learning to sense what will help the most. *** 🔄 **How the Session Runs** The meetup is divided into two practical phases. ***\-\-\-\-\-\-First half: spontaneous mingling practice\-\-\-\-\-\-*** Participants will move between small groups and practise: • listening in before speaking • understanding the context of the discussion • contributing thoughtfully at the right moment • experimenting with adding value to different conversations This is about observing group dynamics and learning what people might actually need in that moment. ***\-\-\-\-\-\-Second half: intentional group navigation\-\-\-\-\-\-*** In the second phase we practise approaching groups with intention. You might enter a group with a simple internal goal such as: • learning something about a topic • contributing helpful insight • building a meaningful connection • supporting someone who seems unheard But the key principle is this: * **you pursue the goal by giving value rather than trying to take something.** When people feel that you are trying to extract attention, approval, or connection, the interaction often feels draining. When people feel that you are offering curiosity, attention, insight, or encouragement, the interaction becomes energising. Your focus becomes listen carefully understand what might help and offer that freely without expecting anything in return. *** 🌱 **What You Will Practise** • joining conversations in a natural, respectful way • reading group dynamics and energy • deciding when to contribute and when to listen • asking questions that deepen discussion • recognising when a group values empathy versus ideas • moving between groups without feeling awkward • adding genuine value to conversations You will begin to notice that when you read people accurately and contribute something meaningful, their energy changes. They lean in. They become more animated. They remember you. Real connections start to form because **you helped bring the conversation to life.** *** 👋 **A Note From the Facilitator** As an autistic and neurodivergent coach I once found group conversations extremely confusing. Through years of practice in recruitment, interviewing, social events, friendships, and coaching, I realised that group interaction is not a personality trait. It is a learnable skill. This session is about experimenting, observing, and practising that skill together in a supportive environment. Progress matters more than perfection. If by the end of the evening you understand a little more about how to listen, add value, and navigate groups with confidence, that is a meaningful step forward. *** 📝 **Before and After** You will be invited to optionally share: • what feels hardest about group conversations • what situations tend to overwhelm you socially • what kind of interactions you would love to feel more confident in At the end we will gather feedback so future sessions can evolve based on what participants actually find most helpful. The goal is not to perform. The goal is to **learn how to bring energy, curiosity, and value into the spaces you enter.** * ***And when you do that, people remember you for it.....*** ***No more dead end numbers and contact cards....*** ***Stoke real connection, with real skills and practice.***

Once again we are taking over the Wheat, Wine & Whisky venue, and filling it with tango. if you have never dance tango before, this is a good opportunity for a class, and then to observe the dance in its social context we also have a more casual event the week after , that offers a better opportunity to practice after class.

🌟 **A new one-on-one, personality-based connection experience** Many of you have been asking about structured events and if I’d ever bring them back. Well… here it is - a new version, more intentional, and built around something I care about : **matching people based on personality.** Over the years, I’ve seen how hard it can be to find people you truly click with as adults. Small talk goes nowhere, and most events don’t give you the space for real conversation. 💫 **What to Expect** This is not speed dating, and it’s not a big mixer. It’s a curated, one-on-one connection experience where you’ll meet a few people who’ve been matched to you based on personality and vibe. Expect: * A cosy, comfortable venue * A hosted structure so you’re never left awkwardly standing around * A series of guided one-on-one conversations * A relaxed atmosphere where you can genuinely be yourself * This is not dating focused event, there will be a seperate one for dating Each conversation is designed to feel natural — because the match is based on compatibility Get your tickets here - https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/1984161364052?aff=oddtdtcreator 🧭 **Before the Event** Once you get your Eventbrite ticket, you’ll receive a **short personality test (If you have already taken the test at a previous event you don't need to do it again)**. It takes only a few minutes but helps us understand your communication style, energy, and compatibility factors. This is how we curate meaningful one-on-one pairings for the event. 🌿 **Come Join Us** If you’re tired of small talk and ready to meet people who truly fit your personality, this is for you. A warm, intentional space created for deeper conversations and genuine chemistry - whether it becomes friendship, something romantic, or just a surprisingly great chat. RSVP now — spots are kept limited to ensure quality one-on-one time.

Please join us this Sunday as we discuss if a secular society can replace the functions of religion (or spirituality), and what this may mean for our lives. We will look at this at both the social and individual level. **We will meet at the Queensberry Hotel, 593 Swanston Street, Carlton (100m north of previous location) at 2pm for a 2:15pm start sharp.** **We kindly ask attendees to pay $5 to attend to help with MeetUp costs & venue costs. This is not mandatory, but if you are a regular member it would be appreciated. Any extra moneys will go towards buying food and drinks for the table. The venue also expects us to spend money as a group, so grateful if everyone could buy a drink from the venue.** There is no pre-requisite preparation necessary, nor a philosophical background, all that is required is a curious mind. These discussions are both a Socrates Cafe style discussion and lively metaphysical dojo, in the spirit of learning and friendly debate, so please feel free to challenge assumptions and be prepared to have your own assumptions challenged. Find below some questions to consider, however these are free-ranging events and the below serve as a springboard for the discussion: **What might religion offer?** \- Meaning and existential orientation \- Moral formation \- Community and belonging \- Ritual and shared identity \- Authority and moral limits **Is religion needed?** \- Are some countries \(perhaps Australia\, perhaps the Nordic countries\) doing well with a secular society? \- Are they living off the moral inheritance of Christianity? If so\, how long will it last? \- Do we create quasi\-religions instead\, such as nationalism? \- If religion provides useful functions\, can we just replace them with something else? \- Does this question look different elsewhere\, such as in East Asian societies\. **Philosophers to draw upon** \- religion as social glue \(Durkheim\, Tocqueville\, Haidt\) \- religion as psychological response \(Hume\, James\) \- religion as declining foundation of morality \(Nietzsche\, MacIntrye\, Dostoevsky\) \- religion as historical force shaping society \(Weber\, Marx\) \- religion as replaceable or reformable \(Mill\, Comte\, Kant\) Hope to see you there!

Mental Health, how do you understand it? How can you improve it? How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went? Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence? Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp. This group is hosted by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
