This is about learning how to **choose the right ones**. Many women don’t struggle with meeting people — they struggle with **discernment, boundaries, and trusting their own judgement**. If you’ve ever felt: • You keep attracting the same patterns in dating • You ignore red flags or second-guess your intuition • You give too much, too soon • You’re unsure what you truly want in a partner • You want something deeper — but don’t know how to navigate modern dating This session is designed to support you. ## WHAT YOU’LL GAIN • **Clarity** — understanding what you truly want (beyond chemistry) • **Standards** — defining your non-negotiables with confidence • **Boundaries** — learning how to hold them without guilt • **Discernment** — recognising red flags, green flags, and inconsistency early • **Self-awareness** — understanding your patterns in attraction and attachment • **Decision-making** — knowing when to lean in… and when to walk away ## THE KISMETRIX APPROACH At Kismetrix, we believe connection should feel natural, respectful, and aligned. This is not a rigid workshop. It’s a **guided, reflective space** with real conversations, practical insights, and the opportunity to deepen your understanding of how you show up in dating. This work doesn’t stop here — it carries into how you engage in real-life interactions, including Kismetrix events. ## WHO THIS IS FOR • Women who are intentional about dating and relationships • Women who value depth, emotional intelligence, and meaningful connection • Women who are ready to raise their standards — without becoming closed off ## IMPORTANT NOTES • This is a discussion-based and reflective session (not lecture-style) • This is not a dating or matchmaking event • Outcomes in dating are never guaranteed — this is about personal clarity • Respect, boundaries, and emotional safety are central to this space • Tickets are non-refundable but transferable ## Hosted by **KISMETRIX \| Love Mastery** 📧 [social@kismetrix.com.au]() 🌐 [www.kismetrix.com.au]()

Your ability to work and live with others is crucial to your survival. To survive well one needs ability. Today meetup topic: Creating and Improving Ability And if you think you already have all the ability one needs to survive well then it is important for you to learn how to KEEP IT FROM GOING AWAY. Attend our Free Meetup! Definition for Ability: One's power to observe, to make decisions and to act. A man is as free, as well-off, as he is able. A family is as happy as it has ability. A business is as well-off as it has able people in it. A country is as well-off as it has able workers, foremen and executives. At today's meetup learn what constitutes ability and more importantly how to develop and improve it so that it does not go away. Fact's are that one's ability is never the same. It either goes up or it will go down. Your natural as well as learned abilities are constantly subject to many of life's pressures. One can therefore simply not rest on one's laurels regarding your current abilities and simply assume they will always be available for use. The time to protect and enhance ability is when you are still able. Any loss of ability will result in less confidence followed by problems resulting in unhappiness. This is called the dwindling spiral. Not just for you, it will impact all others you associate with as well. Today's topic applies to all aspects of life but will focus on how your abilities or lack of abilities or a sudden or gradual lowering of ability relates to work and family life. On your arrival you will be asked to complete a Oxford Personality Test. From this you will learn what ability it is that needs attention and improving. Whilst at our meetup you will also learn about some of the different technologies are that you find here which actively create, protect or enhance ability in key areas of life. The world cries out for better people (More Able People) that will lead happier life's with better better jobs, stronger families as well as community and businesses groups. Get The Know-How for life, attend our meetup or ask me for a time that is better suited to your schedule.

The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event. We will be hearing from Becca Powell, Director of Advocacy and Outreach at Unchained At Last, an organization whose mission is dedication to ending forced and child marriage in the United States through direct services and systems change. Unchained At Last's mission clearly meshes and addresses several of our Humanist Ten Commitments. Becca will educate us about an issue many of us may not be familiar with--but should be. Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid.

Over time I'm hoping to organize a hike to all the Franklin County Metro Parks. This is the first one so if you're interested jump in! We'll start with the Canopy Walk, a cool feature of this park. Climb 100 stairs to the top - or take the elevator if stairs aren't your thing. At the top there are a bunch of things to play on - a rope bridge, a fireman pole that we can slide down - and more! About fifteen minutes there and we'll head to the natural trail, Buttonbush, Maple and Beech Trail for 2.2 miles then do a 1.7 mile loop on the paved Greenway Trail. We'll be passing our cars as we transition if you only want to do the first loop, or the second loop. Pace of around 3.5 mph but no one left behind. If there is an interest we can grab lunch nearby afterward.

At Unity of Columbus, our Youth and Family Ministry nurtures the spiritual growth of children and families through love, joy, and practical spiritual teachings. Each Sunday, children explore timeless spiritual principles through stories, creative activities, music, and group sharing in a safe and welcoming environment. Our program encourages children to discover their own inner light, express kindness, and develop a personal connection with God. Together, we celebrate diversity, cultivate understanding, and inspire each child to live with purpose and compassion. Parents and families are invited to join in this uplifting journey of learning, laughter, and spiritual connection.

**TBA**

Sleep in on Sundays. When you've had your fill of pajama-time, roll out and have some tasty brunch with your fellow Humanists!
