Is This Really It? — An Honest Evening Conversation
**I want to ask you something personal.**
**When did you last have a conversation — a real one — where you didn’t have to perform being okay?**
**Not with your colleagues. Not with your family who worry about you. Not on a first date where you’re still deciding how much to reveal.**
**Just an honest conversation. About where you actually are. What you actually want. What’s quietly weighing on you that you haven’t found the right moment — or the right person — to say out loud yet.**
**I ask because I think a lot of us are carrying more than we let on.**
**The career that pays the bills but costs you something you can’t quite name. The love life that hasn’t gone the way you hoped, no matter how hard you’ve tried. The Sunday evening feeling that the week ahead is just more of the same — and the life you actually wanted is somehow still waiting somewhere in the future.**
**You’re not broken. You’re not behind. You’re just human. And you deserve a space to actually say that.**
**That’s what this evening is.**
**I’m Victoria. Many of you know me from our dinners, breakfasts, and walks over the years.**
**What you may not know is everything I’ve walked through and the rollercoaster rides I’ve been on to get here.**
**On the professional front, I’ve spent years in HR and coaching holding space for people through retrenchments, burnout, and career crossroads. I’ve coached thousands of professionals through some of the most uncertain chapters of their lives.**
**I run my own business. I’ve organised dating events for singles courageous enough to open their hearts again. I’ve sat across from so many people who came to me feeling lost — and left with something shifting inside them.**
**And through all of it, I’m on my own journey. Still am.**
**I’ve made a lot of pivots in my life and I’ll share with you more tonight — not because I have it all figured out, but because I think something in my story might speak to something in yours.**
**Many of you have asked me over the years why I run these gatherings the way I do. No sponsors. No agenda. No pitch. I just love bringing people together. I’m happy to help. I’m simply happy to be there for you. That’s always been enough for me.**
**You know those walks we do — where I’m playing tour guide, making us walk, pointing things out? I go home after those sessions genuinely happy. Full. That feeling of having connected people, having created something real out of just a few hours together — I simply enjoy it.**
**This evening is no different. Just more intentional. More intimate.**
**And maybe — for some of you — more timely.**
**We’ll talk about the things we usually don’t.**
**The rat race and whether you’re running toward something or just running. What it would mean to one day own your time completely. Love and the courage it takes to keep your heart open after disappointment. Starting over — in career, in relationships, in the quiet belief that the best chapters are still ahead.**
**No agenda. No slides. No performance.**
**Just a handful of us in a room being brave enough to be real with each other and ourselves.**
**The evening will be held in a quiet, private meeting room — a proper space for conversations like this. No background noise, no interruptions, no one rushing you along. Just the kind of unhurried environment that a reflection this important actually deserves.**
**A quick note on RSVPs — like many of you know, our Meetup events tend to get a lot of sign-ups and not everyone makes it on the night. Because this room has limited seats and I want every chair filled with someone who genuinely wants to be here, I’m doing this one a little differently.**
**If you haven’t got my number, please message me directly to receive my contact number and confirm your attendance. Your spot is only reserved once you’ve confirmed with me personally and not just on meetup. It wouldn’t feel right to hold a seat for someone who isn’t coming when there may be someone else who needs this evening far more.**
**First come, first seated — and I genuinely hope that’s you. 🤍**
**This is not a seminar. Not a networking event. Not a motivational talk.**
**Just people connecting with people. People who are honest enough with themselves to know that life could be fuller — in career, in love, in freedom, in just feeling like themselves again.**
**Maybe you need a real conversation. Maybe you need to hear that someone else feels it too. Maybe you just need one evening that reminds you the things you want are still possible.**
**This evening might not change everything. But it might change something. A perspective. A decision you’ve been putting off. A conversation that needed to happen. A realisation that’s been waiting quietly for the right moment.**
**You’ve been putting yourself last for long enough.**
**Come. Show up for yourself — even just this once.**
**That little bit more is waiting for you. 🤍**
****** ***Out of respect for the openness and safety of this space — and based on feedback from our community — I’d also ask that you share your occupation when you message me to confirm. This evening is a genuine, pressure-free conversation and to keep it that way, I’m unable to accommodate those working in sales, MLM, or similar fields. I hope you understand and appreciate that this boundary exists to protect the experience for everyone in the room. 🙏*** ******

Co-Working Session (Deep Work, all types of work welcome)
Event location change: Monk's Brew Club
Bring extension cords if you have!
Hey everyone! We organising a co-working + socialising session for all of us who like to work on something (e.g. our own project, freelance or remote work) but feel working alone at home can get a bit lonely :-)
To ensure that we have both socialising AND working, we will be using the so called “Pomodoro” technique:
**50min of deep work** (silent), followed by **10min of break** to socialise. Then repeat, we typically do up to 3 rounds.
It’s an effective way to stay focused - you can read more about it [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique).
Anyone from any background is welcome, whatever project you are working on or whatever is your personal background.
——————————————————-
AGENDA:
* **15min Intro (please come on time)**
Get to know everyone, talk about what you will work on today
* **Pomodoro Session** \- 3x \(3h\)
Each Pomodoro session consists of 50min of uninterrupted “deep work” (no talking, no interruptions, no phones)
-> then 10min of break: share your progress with others, talk about what you are stuck on etc.
-> Repeat
* **Wrap Up and dinner (optional)**
Share your progress, socialise and get to know others 😊
————
Location is Monk’s Brew Club (57 East Coast Road, Singapore 428773). We have booked a separate room with multiple tables at the 2nd floor of the cafe, just walk all the way through to the back when you walk in, or ask the barista.
Wifi + power plugs are there but best to bring a fully charged laptop and extension cords, just in case 🙃
You DO NOT have to pay anything, but since we are using the café space, it would be common courtesy to buy at least one drink.
Please remember to release your RSVP in case you are not able to make it for the people on the waitlist and looking forward to seeing you there! :)
Note: RSVP-ing and then no show will result in penalties:
1 No show = warning
2 No shows = de-prioritized for those in waitlist
3 No shows = blocked from future events
Cheers

***what to expect***
\- newbie\-friendly: materials provided \(canvas\, paint\, brush\)
\- relaxed painting time with calming background music
\- free and easy session: paint what you like
\- connection’s optional\, comfort’s essential: chat when you feel like it\, and honor others’ space when they don’t
*note: this event supports solo participation. let us know via whatsapp if you will be uncomfortable attending alone so we can make arrangements.*
***🪑 who is this for?***
\- introverts who enjoy lowkey social settings and natural conversations led by activities

Nailed It! - DIY Meetup

Looking forward to meeting you all!
Free In-person Meeting: Unwanted Emotions & Loneliness, How to Get Over Them
This is an in-person meeting.
Did you know that unwanted emotions like loneliness, sadness, hopelessness, anger, fear, anxiety, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not chemical imbalance in your brain due to some nebulous chemical reactions by chance.
Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you.
The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life.
For instance, let's say you are already carrying a huge load on your back, then you cannot take on much more, but, let's say something else happens to you, such as the difficulties from the Pandemic, then the resultant combined weight on you can take you over the edge, kind of like the straw that break the camel's back. When this happens, people's attention usually goes to the straw that was added, but actually the majority of the weight had come from the huge load that were already there, holding a person down and causing a person issues.
So how do you remove the huge load that was already there? How do you lighten them up? Is it possible to get rid of them?
That is what this meeting will be all about.
Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life.
Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there.
This group is created by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
Men's Group meetup
**The idea for this group is to build a community where men can gather together and build connections & learn and grow from each other.**
How we start each meeting is by each of us checking in with our "roses and thorns" aka what are the good things and the bad things going on in your life recently?
Then we will go into a topic discussion.
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
**COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS**
\*\*THERE WILL BE A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY FOR NO-SHOWS. IF YOU RSVP TO A MEETING AND FAIL TO SHOW UP WITHOUT NOTICE, YOU'LL BE REMOVED FROM THE GROUP. THIS IS TO PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY OF THE GROUP\*\*
1. Confidentiality - EVERYTHING that is shared NEVER leaves this space so that this space remains safe and sacred. There is a zero tolerance policy for this. If a man is in violation of this, they will be permanently removed from the group.
2. Non-Judgement - we respect and honor every man’s truth so that we may receive the same from others. While we may not agree on everything, we commit to respecting every man’s perspectives and engaging in honorable discussion with one another.
3. Be committed - honor your commitment to this group and to yourself. If you attend a meeting, please commit yourself fully to the meeting. Also be committed to your own journey. When we fail, we own it & clean it up.
4. Speak from the heart - this is NOT a space to “look good”, have the “right” answers, and have it all together. Relax and know you are not alone. Be exactly who you are within the safety of this space.
5. Be supportive - This means always willing to provide encouragement to your fellow men, encourage action and momentum in each other’s lives.. Be willing to challenge each other. Be willing to hold each other accountable.
6. Participation - what you receive from this community will be a reflection of what you put into it. Period. We ask that you share your perspectives, reflect on others, and give/receive support when and where it’s needed.
