Feeling heard, understood and met is the foundation of fulfilling relationships. And that begins with listening. In March, we explore what it means to be(come) the type of person who can turn ordinary conversations into moments of connection with deep listening and thoughtful responding: * The focus of attention of a conversation: you - me - us * When to listen and when to speak * ⁠The Authentic Relating framework: Listen, reflect, share impact * ⁠How to bring noticing and presence to our listening * ⁠What to listen to: the 3 levels of listening * ⁠How to create an empathic environment for deeper connection: listening to understand, not to fix * ⁠How to weave our experience by sharing impact **TICKETS** Tickets start at $30. [Book here](https://www.mysoremelbourne.com/authentic-relating) We’re committed to accessibility and offer further discount if money is a real barrier to attending. **FUNDAMENTALS OF AUTHENTIC RELATING** Fundamentals of Authentic Relating (AR) happens every 3rd Saturday of the month. It’s for people who want to bring more awareness, honesty, and connection into their relationships. Anyone curious about personal growth, wanting more ease and connection in their interactions, interested in improving their relational skills, or wishing to gain a formal understanding of AR frameworks and mechanics. Sessions are themed and we’ll begin by exploring how to notice what is happening inside (Feb), followed by listening more deeply (Mar), developing curiosity (Apr), expressing oneself with clarity and courage (May), and navigating boundaries and conflict with care (June).

**Registration required at below link:** **Tickets: $5** https://events.humanitix.com/copy-of-oot-and-aboot-lgbtqia-regional-wellbeing-hike Join Oot & Aboot in collaboration with Euphoria Social for a relaxed LGBTQIA+ morning wellbeing walk at the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne. This is not a fitness session. This is not a race. This walk is designed to create space for slowing down, reconnecting with nature, and building safe community. At the start of the walk, you’ll have the option to select a simple intention word to carry with you throughout the morning. We’ll move at a gentle, inclusive pace through the gardens, pausing occasionally to notice elements of the natural environment — such as scent, sound and scenery — and reflect on how time in green spaces supports mental wellbeing. No one is left behind. You’re welcome to talk, walk quietly, or simply be present. ## Post-Walk Community Coffee (Optional) The event concludes with a coffee at The Terrace café for those who wish to continue connecting. This is completely optional. ## Meeting Point We will meet outside The Terrace café at the Royal Botanic Gardens. Please arrive by 8:50am for an 9:00am sharp start. ## Agenda * 8:50 am - 9:00 am ### Arrival & Welcome * 9:00 am - 10:00 am ### Gentle Guided Walk * 10:00 am - 10:30 am ### Optional Community Coffee ## Know before you go 1\.

Ever wondered how humanity would respond to an asteroid heading for Earth? Or how the world might react to first contact with aliens? Welcome to **The Thought Experiment** — a new kind of meetup where we explore big *“What if…?”* scenarios in a fun but thoughtful way. Each session, we’ll pick one scenario (from global crises to wild sci-fi situations) and work together to imagine solutions, strategies, and possibilities. This is for **curious minds of all kinds** — students, professionals, creatives, or anyone who enjoys thinking differently. Some people might bring research, others just bring imagination. Either way, we’ll brainstorm together and see where the discussion takes us. [Thought Experiment Site](https://thoughtexperiment.au/) **We ask everyone to Buy a drink at the venue** **You Need to have Conversational English.** **This is a 3PM start event.** **Format:** * Quick intro to the scenario * Small-group discussions * Share back with the group * Wrap up + (optional) post-discussion drinks For our first meetup, we’ll introduce the format, get to know each other, and jump into a scenario together. ***Story Arc: Cosmic Dread*** Keywords: *Generational Ship, Nature* **Scenario: Remember Me** The launch was flawless. The systems are stable. The mission is progressing. The crew remains calm. All readings align with the original departure data. After months in deep space, nothing appears out of place. Except for one detail. Every star we pass looks strangely familiar. Saturday 3–5 PM A small group. Big imagination. No right answers. Just curiosity, debate and fun.
