Struggling with study or learning? Youâre not alone.
**Struggling with study or learning? Youâre not alone.**
This meetup suits people at all levels of study skill.
Too many children, teenagers, and adults find studying difficultânot because they lack ability, but because they were never taught **how to learn**.
This meetup introduces the basics of **Study Technology**âa practical, proven approach that shows how learning really works and how to overcome common study barriers. It applies to children, teens (and parents), teachers, and adults alike.
Youâll discover simple, effective methods to improve understanding, confidence, and performanceâwhether at school, work, or online. Teachers and parents often see rapid improvements in both behaviour and results.
Yes, it *is* possible to improve study performanceâin just **five easy steps**.
If you canât attend in person, online options are available.
**Join us and learn how to study effectivelyâonce and for all.**
See you at the meetup,
**Pam**
When learning clicks, confidence follows.

Meet your next Bestie (WOMEN ONLY) - Personality matched
**A new one-on-one, personality-based connection experience**
Created specifically for women who want to build **genuine friendships**, not just exchange small talk.
***Check out [Our Website](https://we-belong.com.au/ "https://we-belong.com.au/")***
As adults, making new friends isnât easy.
You might meet people, but it rarely goes deeper. Conversations stay surface-level, and meaningful connections feel hard to come by.
This experience is designed to change that, by matching you with women youâre **genuinely** **compatible** with, based on personality and communication style.
**What to Expect**
This is **not** speed networking.
And itâs not a big, overwhelming group mixer.
Itâs a curated, one-on-one experience where youâll meet a small number of women whoâve been thoughtfully matched to you based on personality and vibe.
You can expect:
* A cosy, comfortable venue
* A gently hosted structure so youâre never left feeling awkward or unsure
* A series of guided one-on-one conversations
* A relaxed, welcoming atmosphere where you can be yourself
Itâs about friendship, connection, and finding women you naturally click with.
Each conversation is designed to feel easy and natural, because the matching is done with compatibility in mind.
(We cross-post on multiple platforms, so events are usually full.)
**Before the Event**
Youâll receive a **short personality test (you only need to take the test once)**.
It takes only a few minutes but helps us understand your communication style, energy, and compatibility factors.
This is how we curate meaningful one-on-one pairings for the event.

2026 Intention Setting: Walk, Reflect, Connect
Instagram: @findyourtribemelb
Take a pause from the hustle and join us for **The Monthly Reset** \- a space for **driven and ambitious people** to reflect on the past month, set fresh goals, and connect with other growth-minded individuals.
Thereâs something powerful about sharing your reflections and intentions with other growth-minded individuals. When you're surrounded by people who value progress, purpose, and self-awareness, it creates a natural sounding board for ideas, clarity, and encouragement. These kinds of conversations can help you see things differently, feel more supported, and stay aligned with the goals that truly matter to you.
đż**MEETING POINT**
Let's meet outside Botanic Gardens Visitor Centre at 10.00am. Anyone who would like to grab a coffee can do so, then at 10.15am, we'll take a walk around the Tan.
đ¤**CONNECTION ACTIVITY**
During the walk, youâll be invited to participate in structured conversations with different partners as we rotate every 15ish minutes.
Weâll provide reflection prompts to guide your discussions. This month we will take the time to set and share intentions for 2026 together.
This is a space to connect authentically, think intentionally, and feel supported by others who care about growth and alignment - both professionally and personally.
đ**NEW HERE?**
Welcome! Find Your Tribe Melbourne is a community mostly around 25-40 who are passionate about connection, purpose, and personal development. Weâre open-minded, respectful, and always excited to welcome new faces. Whether you come solo or with a friend, weâll make sure you feel included and supported.
Pushing outside your comfort zone can be toughâbut it's where growth and friendship begin. đą
If you have any questions or just want to say hi before the event, feel free to message me!

An Easy-Going Space: We keep things simple and low-pressure. Once everyone arrives, we ease in with some light conversation and naturally break into smaller groups.
Networking: Feel free to introduce yourself or let people know what you're working on if you feel like it. And if anyone wants to quickly shout out what theyâre working on or looking for before we settle in, go for itâitâs a great way to spark new conversations.
* **Host Support**
If youâd like a one-on-one chat with me about a your business just tap me on the shoulder. Iâll be floating around and happy to make time for you.
**Quick note for the day:**
While there is parking available at Studley Park, spots can fill up quickly. Itâs best to arrive early to secure a space without any stress. There are also additional parking spots across the bridge, about a 12-minute walk from our meeting point. A table is reserved for us on the deck.

Casual Boardgames - make friends, then beat them in games
Welcome to Casual Boardgames, where we enjoy classic tabletop games and social deduction games while bonding over good food, drinks, and great conversations.
âŠWe started this group to meet new people and make new friends, and bonding over games in a relaxed atmosphere is a great way to do that.
We currently meet near route 23 and Polaris Parkway, and this is close to areas like Powell, Lewis Center, Worthington, and parts of Westerville and Columbus.
âŠFeel free to bring your own games or play one of the many games our members bring. If you are inexperienced, we will help you learn.
âŠHere are just a few examples of the kind of games we play.
âŠTabletop/board games: Splendor, Catan, Azul, Dominion, 7 WondersâŚ
âŠSocial deduction games: Code Names, Chameleon, WerewordsâŚ
âŠIMPORTANT:
âŠ1. While we love playing a variety of games and competing, we are not just about the games. We interact and talk while playing, and this leads to a lot of laughter and fun. If you just want to compete and focus solely on the game, then this is probably not the group you are looking for.
âŠ2. Many people join groups like this and never (or rarely) show up after weeks or months. If you join and never really come, we will eventually remove you from the group as a courtesy to our members. Why? Because limiting group conversations (on the app) to regular members makes communication and planning much easier. Also, while it may be rare, it protects members from people who join because they are interested in following a person instead of having a real interest in our group. If you get removed, it is just because you havenât come, and we follow this protocol as a courtesy to our regular game players.
