Joyful Living

Welcome! Gist below! :-) 1. Bring a book to the meet! 2. Buy a drink (and a bite if you're hungry). 3. Say hi to the folks. 4. Read! 5. We'll do a short round of intros and a short sharing at the end too. :) Come in and find us (we're probably the only reading group)! In the event that the place is full, we'll find a back up nearby. :-) This is a limited seats, small group event, so do try to update your RSVP early if your plans change! Thanks in advance! Nearest MRT: Jurong East (EW24/NS1)

Our fourth meetup will be to somewhere I've never been before Retroholics by Tinbox, located at Funan Mall (this is your chance Ed!). They've got retro music apparently, but I think if you're like me it'll be pretty much the music you grew up with. We'll each pay for our own food and/or drink (let's support the venue by purchasing something), and get to enjoy what's likely to be some lively top 40s music from the 80s and 90s that evening. It is pretty free and easy so if you might need to arrive late or leave early that's fine too. To join just RSVP and I'll help make the table reservation for the group. So the venue doesn't hold seats it doesn't need to, do let me know one day before if you're not able to make it anymore. I'm keeping the max group size a little smaller at 10 (including me) so it's easier to get tables and make conversation too (especially for an introvert like me!). *Bear with me as we figure out over time what days and times work well for folks, feel free to comment below too so I know.

Systemic family constellation was founded by Bert Hellinger (and I trained with him and many other practitioners). It uses energy and subtle movement and invites healing. Those with issues offer a question and participants are selected to move into the circle as 'representatives' of people or issues. Then an amazing unfolding occurs in which knowledge arrives quietly and 'unknots' the glitches of the past' - our ancestry and the difficulties we carry in our familial lines. Few words, just trust and patience... come and see. You could google this but experiencing it is quite a unique experience which provides information about past problems that affect your harmony today - generating a gentle unravelling which provides more optimistic futures. You can explore health, wealth, relationships, parenting...... There is no charge but if you are able a donation to the room costs is very welcome PS feel free to reach out in a message to learn more or get directions

In this local meeting, you will discover knowledge that you can use to get over the past.
