Hello friends, This month we will (finally!) be an entirely standalone community event, not for profit and volunteer run. We have booked a large event space in the Multicultural Hub across from Vic Market. Pizza and beverages will be graciously funded this month by Dragos, but we would really love to see other food and beverage sponsors in the future. **We can also really use additional volunteers to watch the door, help carry in food and drinks, or help with set up or clean up. Please send us a message if you're able to help.** This event will survive if people are involved and want to make it survive! Cheers, Lesley **Talk 1: A practical methodology to secure critical infrastructure** OT Cybersecurity is current in a “perfect storm scenario”. This is due to: ● Increased OT automation ● Increased regulation ● OT cyber maturity lags IT cyber maturity ● OT cyber risk impacts safety and production While many large organisations are well-resourced with dedicated teams, smaller organisations who aren’t able to appoint a dedicated OT Cybersecurity leader often struggle to deliver an effective OT Cybersecurity uplift program. This talk outlines why practical, lightweight approaches to complicated scenarios suit most critical infrastructure organisations and how such an approach would work in practice. **Speaker:** Leon Poggioli is the founder of NetSeg, an advisory organisation focused on consulting around OT Cybersecurity Strategy and Program Development. He founded NetSeg after recognising that many organisations with OT Cybersecurity obligations don’t have the necessary knowledge and experience to drive a program which requires different capabilities and stakeholders than IT Cybersecurity programs require. OT Cybersecurity is in a “perfect storm” - with increased OT automation and connectivity increasing the attack surface, increased regulations, not to mention the fact that any organisation with an OT network likely relies on that network to conduct their core business! Before founding NetSeg, Leon was the Australia New Zealand Country Manager for Claroty, one of the Gartner leaders for CPS (Cyberphysical Systems) Protection Platforms, and worked with a wide range of Australian and New Zealand organisations to drive their programs using Claroty’s technology. Leon also has a YouTube channel @NetSeg_IO where he shares short-form videos on a range of OT Cybersecurity topics. He has also been featured several times on Australian television and talkback radio. **Talk 2: Managing a Crisis in Critical Infrastructure -** **Incident Command System** Critical infrastructure is increasingly exposed to cyber-physical threats impacting essential services like energy, water, and transportation. This session introduces ICS4ICS, a proven incident response framework adapted for Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and Operational Technology (OT). It enables IT, OT, and cybersecurity teams to collaborate with clear roles, shared language, and coordinated response during high-impact incidents. Attendees will gain practical insights into managing cyber incidents that can escalate into physical disruptions, improving resilience and response effectiveness. Designed for cyber, natural, and accidental events, ICS4ICS supports cross-sector and public-private coordination. **Speakers:** Sanam Makadia • Cyber Security Architect and Advisor • Thought leader and advisor with more than 2 decades of experience in design, consulting, architecture, Risk and Governance • Interest in topics such as Cyber strategy, GRC, operational technology/industrial control systems (OT/ICS) and robotics & artificial intelligence (AI) Peter Lake • Cybersecurity Strategy Lead and CTF coach • Passionate about capacity building for neurodivergent young people, coaching, and building Cybersecurity career pathways. • Keen interest in critical infrastructure, space cyber awareness, incident response and management.

**Event posted on our website too so number of people responding here does not show actual numbers attending.** Let’s have fun exploring the worlds of angels & nature spirits. You might find you garden suddenly blooming or your pockets full of gold! These evenings are open to anyone that wishes to come along; and at which we will be exploring, in a hands-on fashion (in other words, you get to do some of the conjuration – if you wish – or you can just watch) the invocation and evocation of angels, planetary spirits, elementals, daemons, etc. You don’t need to wear magical robes or bring magical tools or weapons but are welcome to do so if you wish. ***Warning for those with sensitive noses. We will be burning incense.*** **Cost:** $20 **When:** Tuesday 2nd June - arrive between 6.30 & 7pm if you can. If you're running late, come anyway.

‘*Mandalas are breathtakingly beautiful, witnesses of a journey into the center of the macrocosm of the universe, as well as into the microcosm of the human physical and spiritual organism…when we are in danger of losing ourselves, mandalas help us find our identity anew, our inner nucleus, warm and protected in the cosmos and the wholeness of our being.’* Brigitte Spillmann-Jenny Join Art Therapist and Theosophist Nina Mazurek on the first Thursday of each month for an hour of hands-on mandala work - a Melbourne Theosophical tradition first established by Georgina Fode. Within a safely held and respectful space, each attendee will be guided to create an oil crayon mandala at their own pace, in response to a selected text and preceded by a ‘remember who you are’ meditation. Each class will be a nurturing opportunity to explore our inner yearnings for wholeness and containment, that may help to propel self-healing and enable further understanding of the self. **Nina Mazurek** is an experienced presenter and workshop facilitator who has been offering beautiful creative healing services at the Melbourne Theosophical Society for over 20 years. **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.

Join Stephen Fiyalko, President of the Melbourne Theosophical Society for meditation, self attunement, study and discussion on the Laws of the Universe. We welcome all to join at 5:30pm for a 30 min Meditation and will begin the discussion group at 6:00pm. For those who prefer to just attend the discussion group you're welcome to arrive at 6pm. An understanding of and action within the Laws through our choices give practical tools for facing, managing and surmounting with confidence the many challenges we face in our daily lives, in society and the world itself. Ignorance of the Laws can leave us adrift to be buffeted and feel overwhelmed by stormy seas. Each week will look at one of the twelve Laws which are principles, not rules, seeking a deeper understanding of that Law, our and their inter-relationship with the other Laws. Discussion will involve sharing stories from our lives which contribute to a growing understanding and confidence in our lives. Each session is free, but donations are welcome.

**\*\*\*RSVP PROCESS - CRITICAL INFO\*\*\*** Please be aware, we don't use the Meetup website to take RSVPs, so you will need to register on this link to lock in your place (bookings essential) - [https://propdev.info/uMKh](https://propdev.info/uMKh) We run events most weekends around Australia so you can attend either physically in your local area, or live-stream to any event around the country. **In-Person:** 1:30pm (Melbourne time) to 'Mingle With The Expert' **Virtual:** 2pm (Melbourne time) **INTRODUCING THE INDUSTRY EXPERT:** *Get Council Onside From Day One! SUHO (Alison Fenton)* You’ve got a great site. The numbers stack. You’re ready to push ahead. Then council hits you with Environmentally Sustainable Design requirements you didn’t fully see coming. Different rules. Different reports. Different expectations depending on the council. Suddenly, what should be a straightforward planning approval turns into a maze of consultants, conflicting advice, and delays. Now you’re scrambling. Plans need to be reworked. Reports need to be redone. Costs start creeping up. And worst of all? Time blows out… putting your entire deal at risk. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. This is exactly where most mum-and-dad developers get caught. They bring in ESD too late. They assume one report will cover everything. They miss simple, low-cost wins that councils are actually looking for. And it ends up costing them time, money, and momentum. That’s why we’ve brought in **Alison Fenton** from **SUHO**. In her session: You will learn how to cut through the noise and get this right from the start. So instead of delays and redesigns… you get smoother approvals and faster progress to building. Here’s what she’ll break down for you: • How to integrate ESD early (and why it changes everything) • Exactly what reports your site needs and what it doesn’t • The 10 Key Sustainable Development Categories and the easy wins most developers miss • How to align planning approval with your building permit from day one Walk away knowing how to simplify ESD, avoid costly mistakes, and keep your project moving forward. Because the developers who get this right? They don’t just get approvals faster. They build better projects and keep control of their deals. **INTRODUCING THE REAL DEAL:** *1 Into 4 Townhouses (Vijay Ramasundaram)* *720m2, Glenroy, Victoria* One Site. Four Townhouses. Maximum Upside. You’ve found a site that works. The numbers stack up. You’ve got a clear plan… maybe a simple 1 into 2. Safe. Straightforward. Then reality kicks in. The market shifts. Feasibilities change. What once looked like a solid deal suddenly feels like it’s leaving money on the table. If you’ve been there, you’re not alone. That’s exactly what **Vijay Ramasundaram** faced on this project. The difference? He didn’t lock himself into the original plan. He stayed flexible, reassessed the numbers, and adapted his strategy to suit the market. What started as a conservative approach evolved into a 1 into 4 townhouse development unlocking the site’s full potential with multiple exit strategies built in from day one. In this session, Vijay will walk you through: • How to secure a site with a clear strategy while keeping your options open • Why avoiding emotional attachment to your first plan can dramatically improve your outcome • Reassessing feasibility as market conditions shift • Turning a “good” deal into a great one by maximising the site’s flexibility If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re getting the most out of your site, this is the session that will challenge how you think about your next deal. Practical. Strategic. Focused on real outcomes. Don’t miss this Real Deal session. This is your chance to talk property with other enthusiasts! See you all soon!

Are YOU Ready and Willing to go further along your SPIRITUAL JOURNEY, without forcing yourself to FIND TIME TO READ ABOUT IT? ''A Course in Miracles (ACIM)" is The Channelled Works of Jesus / Isa / Yoshua (SAME HUMAN BEING - Named Differently By Different religions) from 1965 - 1972. It Supplements and can go beyond anything The Bible, The Koran and The Torah has taught you. Find Out if you are ready to experience TRUE Spiritual Growth Beyond Religious Teachings (THE ACTUAL PROMISED: SECOND COMING) that have been Edited, Re-Translated across One or More languages or Added to for The Suppression of Women. It Upholds the prophecies from those three mentioned holy books, but explains Truth more easily than they are able to for the ordinary 21st Century human being. We don't need to know esoteric teachings handed down by Mystical Schools, to RETURN HOME TO SOURCE ENERGY. You have free will to decide when you will commence your Journey HOME from Earth. We can Listen to Recordings of the above mentioned works. Alternatively, I also have DVD or CD recordings from Joseph Campbell, Deepak Chopra, Mother Theresa, Stuart Wilde, David Hawkins, Esther Hicks, Dennis Waitley, Gregg Braden, Wayne Dyer and Others. Topics that can be covered include: How "A Course in Miracles" came to be, Near Death Experiences, The Second Coming, The Evolution of Mankind's Spiritual Understanding, The Human Ego, Buddhism, The Christian Teachings EDITED FROM The Bible, Taoism, Ayurveda, Zen, Chi, The Bhagavad - Gita and Guided Meditations. This meet up is stated to last 3 hours, but as some can be too busy for that length of time, you are welcome to leave early, without it being a problem to me. NOTE: LEARNING SPIRITUAL TRUTH can be strange and stir up The Human Ego/ The Fake Will for some on this planet, but without putting in the time to do so, our Spiritual Growth is HINDERED GREATLY!!! SOURCE ENERGY IS ETERNAL AND IS ALWAYS UNCONDITIONALLY LOVING. There has never been and there can never be The Wrath of God or a Final Judgement Day where The Creator, God, Allah, Yhvh or The Man-like Figure with The Long White Beard surrounded by Angels, who support Him as He deals out what The Ego believes humans deserve. WE ARE ETERNAL SOULS CONNECTED TO EACH OTHER'S SOUL AND SOURCE ENERGY FOREVER. WE APPEAR TO BE LIVING IN MORTAL BODIES ON PLANET EARTH AT THE EFFECT OF THE HUMAN EGO, BUT IS THAT COMPLETELY TRUE?

The denizens of the Mental Plane are as varied and complex as the landscapes they inhabit. Embodied and disembodied, conscious and unconscious, subtle and forceful, are the many presences that live within that realm. The Mental Plane is a living world - dynamic, responsive, and shaped by the quality and range of our thoughts. By engaging consciously with this realm we begin to realize that we are both residents and architects, actively contributing to the evolution of the Mental Plane itself. *‘The mental plane, as its name implies, is that which belongs to consciousness working as thought ; not of the mind as it works through the brain, but as it works in its own world, unencumbered with physical spirit-matter.’* from ***The Ancient Wisdom*** by Annie Besant **Wendy Dixon** has been a member of the Theosophical Society for over 54 years, attending the youth group for at least 4 years prior to joining the Theosophical Society at the age of 16 - a birthday present from her parents.. The works of Blavatsky, Hodson, Krishnamurti, Leadbeater, Taimni, Besant and the Dalai Lama are the cornerstones of her ever-continuing studies. Prior to becoming a National Lecturer for the Theosophical Society, Wendy had a successful career as an international soprano soloist and as a tertiary academic lecturer. She now also holds the position of Administrative Officer at the Australian Section of the Theosophical Society.
