Monk led a meditation session for local residents at the Dhammakaya Multicultural Meditation Centre of Melbourne, Camberwell. The session focused on the theme “Stillness of the Mind”, offering participants practical tools to cultivate inner calm and clarity. The 50-minute guided sitting meditation began with gentle body-scanning relaxation, helping everyone release physical tension and settle comfortably. Participants were then guided to watch the natural rhythm of the breath, allowing the mind to gradually become centred and composed. Many techniques supported participants in experiencing a greater sense of peace and steadiness.

Are you looking for something different, if so, I would like to invite you to come on a healing journey to discover peace and harmony within yourself and life. If this is of interest to you, the first class is free, as it's an introduction to the explorations of mindfulness/meditation with a spiritual flavour. If you choose to return (no obligation), then a small amount is asked of $5 per class. What a wonderful opportunity to explore your physical, emotional, mental and soul bodies and how they are all inter-related and all can be greatly affected with the stresses and challenges of everyday life. Through engaging with an energetic hygiene process that I facilitate, you will be able to cleanse your energy field on a daily basis. With the event/class there is a variety being presented each week, always a guided meditation, followed by either reflection on self-care through working with a variety of gentle approach resources (which will be given to you to take, if you choose), as well as, listening to different short mindfulness cds. All you need to bring is yourself and a crystal, if you like.

**Island of Men #25 - Celebrating our Silver Event!** **Sunday 24 May 2025 - at Herring Island, Richmond!!** Tickets at: https://events.humanitix.com/iom25/tickets ✳️ **On Sun 24 May, Island of Men is back on Herring Island! A beautiful setting, near Richmond. Time to gather again, to reconnect with the great group of blokes that is Island of Men!** ✳️ **What have got some special guests and facilitators being lined up for this event - not to be missed!** ✳️ **And bring a new man, for a heavily discounted ticket! ($100 for both, only $50 each!!)** This will be a day dedicated to supporting you on your journey as a man, among a community of men who believe in supporting each other and growing as one, big, family. Let's Ignite your Purpose - for the benefit of ourselves, our families and our communities. We are going to bring together a number of expert facilitators and quality hosted content to explore tools and techniques for supporting us as men, to be the best versions of ourselves, as we choose to define it. **About The Event** IOM is a unique experience that provides something different for each individual. For some men, it is a welcome reprieve from the pressures of life, a lifting of the weight of expectation that has been placed on them by work, family and society. For others, it is a place to realise and release limiting stories, unhealthy relationships & behaviours that no longer serve. And for the majority of the IOM attendees, it is just a place to feel at home with other blokes who want to learn, grow and be happy. IoM is open to all men of cultural and ethical backgrounds. It is open to anyone who identifies as a man, of all sexual orientations. IoM is focused on community and growth and is not associated with any religious group. **Sunday - Community Gathering** We would like to celebrate the intention and work that men do when coming to Island of Men. We gather with the intention to be better versions of ourselves, for the benefit of our lives, our families and our communities. We want to celebrate this, while gathering with family and friends, over lunch. So the invitation is for men to stay overnight and be joined by family and friends on Sunday (family / friends are asked to arrive at 10:30am). We will also be running a workshop to welcome family to the Island of Men space. This is going to be very special!! **Agreements** Island of Men events are based on agreements. It is a day of connection and growth, agreements provide a safe foundation to support this intention. \- Everyone that identifies as male is welcome \- Participate as much or as little as is right for you \- Confidentiality \- anything discussed remains confidential \- We are not here to persuade others \(especially in areas of religion or politics\) : **What to Expect** This is a day built on radical self reliance, a commitment to owning our own stuff and taking steps to create positive changes where necessary. It's also a day of complete community, a knowing that life can be so much better when we are there for one another. IOM will be host to an array of talented facilitators running workshops throughout the day, focussed on mission, communication, movement, fatherhood, purpose, expression, appreciation, self-love, inner child work... and more. The workshops will be delivered by talented facilitators. The IOM experience can be a somewhat difficult to describe, so rather than trying to hammer a point home, have a read of what past attendees have said about their Island experience. "What a day! A fantastic experience to be surrounded by so many amazing hu-men. The workshops were great, the love felt by all, the power of the Sacred Heart circle. This is a much needed facility in a time where I, as a man, realise it's on me to create the change I want for myself and my surroundings. And to spread that change to all men around me. A powerful tool to claim back our masculinity." "What an amazing day. Very full and heavy heart by the end, in a very good way!" "Truly powerful and inspirational work behind the guys that brought this beautiful space together. What a Honour it was to be apart of this event !! Absolute must for Men - Please do more." "A great day organised by great people, I went in hungover and came out inspired!" Grab yourself a ticket - and if you want to do something nice for a man, friend or family member, if you want to strengthen a bond you have with a best mate, or a brother, bring them along. You'll both be thankful for it. \*\*\*There will be updates and instructions on the IOM Facebook page (facebook.com/islandofmencommunity) leading up to the event so make sure you like the page to ensure you are receiving updates. Looking forward to seeing you at 'Island of Men #25'

**Who We are..... 🤝** Our journey to bring people together began in January of 2022. The group was started with a simple intention to gather and meet some likeminded people - connecting through the powerful act of meditation and sharing our genuine selves while sitting in a circle that represents equality, harmony and wholeness( *we believe everyone in the circle is a teacher and a student at the same time)*. And over the last 4 years of consistently coming together, we have fostered a beautiful, loving, dependable community where members from all walks of life have experienced a sacred space to sit in silence together and meditate, share their authentic selves, give presence to others and forge meaningful and long lasting connections. The Meditations are guided by Sana(co-founder and host), who is a Trained and certified meditation teacher by the Meditation Association of Australia, and has been guiding meditations for 3+ years in corporate and community settings. ✨ **Do you wish to....** * Experience a simple yet powerful meditation and breathing practice to find calm, relaxation and clarity * Connect with like-minded people in your local community and foster meaningful connections * Meet others who are passionate about growing, uplifting themselves, and supporting others * Share insights from your personal journey (or simply listen and learn) Or maybe you just want to... ☮️ **Spend your Sunday evening in a peaceful, zen space and meet new people?
