Hi all, We havent seen scifi for a while, and this on is more hollywood blockbuster than our usual arthouse, so something different. It also scores an impressive 95% with critics and 98% with audiences on rotten tomatoes. But runs for 2hrs 30 min 😫 We'll be in the usual meeting place [read on for details] from 6:30pm. If there's something else on your film wish list that you want to catch instead, then please feel free to do so and catch us in the Nova bar afterwards for a chat. Looking forward to seeing you there. Cheers, Alicia **--=>+ Meeting Spot +<=--** Outside the clothing store Black Orange. It is inside Lygon Court next to Brunettis. Join the group at the meeting spot 10 minutes before the start time or see us in the movie. **--=>+ The Film +<=--** A sci-fi adventure epic from Phil Lord and Chris Miller (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, The Lego Movie, 22 Jump Street), PROJECT HAIL MARY stars Ryan Gosling and Sandra Hüller. Science teacher Ryland Grace (Gosling) wakes up alone on a spaceship, light-years from home with no recollection of who he is or how he got there. As his memory returns, he begins to remember his mission: solve the riddle of a mysterious substance causing the sun to die out and stop it from being destroyed. Calling on all his scientific knowledge and unorthodox ideas to save everything on Earth from extinction, he soon learns that an unexpected friendship may be the key to keeping humanity alive. **--=>+ Tickets +<=--** Everyone will need to buy their own ticket online and in advance. If you want to sit with other group members, there's a tendency for us to pick seats in the back two rows. Those who feel comfortable can catch up in Nova's bar afterward. **--=>+ Afterwards+<=--** We meet in Nova's bar after the movie. Look for us in the area to the left as you go down the steps. Share your thoughts about the film with the group over a drink of your choice. If the bar is closed we typically head across the road to the Wolf's Lair which is out the back of Jimmy Watson's.

Join us for a unique workshop hosted by Jenny Kuznetsova on Curative Eurythmy: Movement for everyday wellbeing, an introduction. Held over three consecutive Saturdays, 14th, 21st, 28th March 2026, 11am-12pm, the participants will have an opportunity to experience this extraordinary modality. Curative Eurythmy is a movement modality that creates harmony in the whole being. Through specifically curated movements, our three bodies, physical, emotional and mental are moved into incredible balance. The movements work strongly on the circulatory system and as such create organic deep activation of the breath. As the movements activate circulation in the body as well as flooding it with the health giving breath, the after effects create feelings of inner nourishment, strength and vitality. Curative Eurythmy is able to help with physical, emotional and mental imbalances as well as provide a general boost to our overall wellbeing that is so vital in an age where the nervous system is constantly overwhelmed with the pace of life. You are invited to try this unique and potent modality and experience the benefits firsthand. Tickets obtainable via the link below: https://events.humanitix.com/introduction-to-curative-eurythmy-3-session-experience

What is Transference Healing? What we are all seeking, one way or another, is a return to wholeness. We’re hoping and needing to shift and transmute our old ways that have brought discomfort and even pain- into our physical bodies, our energy levels, our emotional & mental bodies, and even our souls. Athena Gregory has found this multi-dimensional healing and transformational path with Transference Healing. \*TH is a seventh-dimensional healing and ascension modality that is advanced, comprehensive and multi-dimensional. It works with frequency, light, and matter to initiate a transference shift within us. As we receive the energy, we experience a shift from one state of being to another. It is pure alchemy, affecting us on many levels, from the inside out. The \*TH energies empower us to work with the very depths of our anatomy, consciousness, and spiritual being. It unifies ancient healing wisdom with unique healing procedures, brought through by Alexis. These are channeled procedures that are etheric and electromagnetic. The higher frequencies of \*TH enable light body activations and Merkaba experiences. Receiving or running TH sessions supports us to achieve and maintain a consistent level of health and wellness, while connecting us to our inner and Divine nature. It’s a healing of hope, light, and love, enhancing spiritual awakening, so that we can return to a state of Oneness with the Omniverse and the God/Goddess. "Enlightenment is not just a state of mind; it is a state of embodied being." Come and find out more about this amazing modality and get a taste of it, in this experiential presentation. The MTS is committed to providing events that align with and further The three objects of The Theosophical Society: * To form a nucleus of the universal brotherhood of humanity, without distinction of race, creed, sex, caste or colour. * To encourage the study of comparative religion, philosophy and science. * To investigate unexplained laws of nature and the powers latent in the human being. However this being stated, the MTS does not endorse any health, spiritual, science-related, philosophical or theological /other assertions or claims made by any facilitator we host.

Please join us this Sunday as we discuss Masculinity in the 21st century. This session will be hosted by Jefferson. **We will meet at the Queensberry Hotel, 593 Swanston Street, Carlton (100m north of Melbourne Central) 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 please buy at least one drink or meal from the bar.** There is no pre-requisite preparation necessary for this session, 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 others' assumptions and be prepared to have your own assumptions challenged. Find below some questions to consider, however note these are free-ranging events and the below serve merely as a springboard for the discussion: * What is the Manosphere, and what is Masculinity (both healthy and toxic)? * Are traditional masculine traits healthy for individuals and societies? * Does modern society reward or punish traditionally masculine traits? * What virtues, behaviours, etc. should be prioritized in raising boys? * Are modern educational systems, communities and the economy well-suited to boys’ developmental tendencies? * Is the idea of “healthy masculinity” necessary, or should we move beyond gendered virtue frameworks entirely? * Should boys be raised differently from girls, or should parenting be largely gender-neutral? * What do we make of cultural figures such as Jordan Peterson, Andrew Tate, Stefan Molyneux, and so on? * Does the concept of toxic masculinity unfairly target men as a class? * Does the concept of toxic masculinity itself produce harm by pathologizing male identity? * Is there an equivalent concept for femininity, and should there be? * Is the idea of a “war on men” descriptively accurate, or primarily rhetorical? * Is the perception of a “war on men” driven more by material conditions or cultural narratives? * Are men uniquely disadvantaged in certain domains, and does that constitute injustice? * Is the manosphere a reaction to real socio-economic change or just another identity narrative of victimhood? Feel free to post any questions, comments, videos or links related to the topic in the discussion page below. Hope to see you there!
