🌿Serene NOOJEE: Day trip: Hike + Picnic, Meditation, Lookout, Sculptures
* 🌏 **MELBOURNE → NOOJEE** 🏙️
* 📅 SUN **3 MAY, DAY TRIP ☀️**
* ✨ Travel far enough to feel both adventure and calm. ✨
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
Escape the city and join us for a beautifully balanced day in nature — where everything is taken care of, and all you need to do is arrive, breathe, and enjoy.
From the moment we leave Melbourne, the rhythm begins to slow. The road opens into rolling Gippsland hills, forests deepen, and the air shifts — fresher, softer, calmer.
In **Noojee**, we ease into a **gentle, scenic hike** through tall trees and peaceful trails, moving at a comfortable pace with space to connect, unwind, and simply be present.
After the walk, we gather for a **relaxed picnic with a fresh fruit platter, snacks, and drinks — all included**. A moment to share, recharge, and enjoy nature together.
The afternoon flows into a **quiet riverside experience** — a short walk through town brings us to the water, where we pause for a **guided meditation and grounding session**, surrounded by stillness.
We continue with a scenic drive through the countryside, stopping at a **beautiful lookout** for views across the rolling hills, before finishing the day with a visit to a **local sculpture gallery** — adding a creative and cultural touch.
No planning. No stress. Just a smooth, meaningful day of nature, movement, and connection.

Quiet Study & Reading Session at State Library Victoria
Join us for a relaxed study and reading session at State Library Victoria.
This is a low-pressure meetup for anyone who wants to spend a few focused hours studying, reading, learning something new, or working through an online course in a quiet and motivating environment.
I’m planning to start the free online course [Astronomy with an online telescope](https://www.open.edu/openlearn/science-maths-technology/astronomy/astronomy-online-telescope/content-section-overview) for fun. It introduces the night sky, telescopes, and astronomical observations using an online robotic telescope.
You’re welcome to do the same course, or anything else you’d like to quietly work on.
This is not a formal class or teaching session. It’s more of a casual co-study / co-reading meetup where we can share a table, stay focused, and take breaks together.
There’s no pressure to be social the whole time, but we can chat during breaks, lunch, or dinner afterwards.
You can leave whenever you like, and you’re also welcome to arrive later. Just note that if you arrive later, you may not be able to get a seat right next to the group.
**Links**
Meetup start point: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/MxygdS6FBotcuo5Q9](https://maps.app.goo.gl/MxygdS6FBotcuo5Q9)

This will be a quiet meetup, so we’ll keep socialising mainly to breaks, lunch, and optional dinner afterwards.
Seats are not guaranteed, especially if the library is busy. We’ll do our best to find space together, but people arriving later may need to sit nearby rather than directly with the group.
You’re welcome to leave early or stay only for part of the day.

🎼HARMONY BRIDGE : Concert I: Ukrainian Voices & Baltic Echoes
✨ I invite you to a special evening born from silence, harmony, and love for music -
🎶 **Music needs no translation — it speaks in the voice of the heart, even when the world falls silent.**
In times like these, it feels more important than ever to keep listening — and to truly hear.
There is music that sounds beautiful.
And there is music that has lived through history.
A few things to know before concert [Harmony Bridge: Ukraine–Australia. With Ukraine in the Heart](https://www.facebook.com/events/2444840435976414/?__cft__%5B0%5D=AZaiWrl7AdRwZQkjTd5wGfL8ETUtwOtQ-Vs6ndJuTGBF4OQKRYH77tMtTDzcyw3EHXVl4xMPwNZojzfo46Yup3h-uXx0EwfWoNgd7GbYPjS4yrECQtadB0kiBCI2bKc_9g231u4mbqYqrPbl4OR00vgWc_ZCZbDtBlaGjIlM3h32MeJNHU9PZBEblMXgfOq-nfSlsitlkxwwV_qAnY62q43f&__tn__=-UK-R):
A string quartet is a form where nothing can be hidden — every sound is exposed, every emotion is real. That is why composers entrusted it with their most personal thoughts.
Ukrainian chamber music was often created in difficult times — becoming a way to preserve what could not be spoken aloud.
Some of the melodies you will hear were written over a century ago, yet they still resonate as if they were created today.
A quartet is always a conversation. Between instruments. Between composer and listener. Between past and present.
On 3 May, this conversation will come to life.
* **🗓 Sunday, 3 May 2026 – 3:00 PM**
**⏰ Doors open 2:00 PM**
**📍 Ukrainian House, 3–11 Russell Street, Essendon VIC 3040**

Nature Walk along Frankston Foreshore to Sweetwater Creek & Coffee by the Beach
Join me for a relaxed walk along the Frankston Foreshore and through the beautiful Sweetwater Creek Reserve with its bushland, birdlife, cascades and granite outcrops. We can enjoy moving and chatting together as we follow the coastal path through the sand dunes, beside the water's edge and out along the historic Frankston Pier.
We'll stroll along the boardwalk through a beautifully restored native habitat before making our way up to Oliver's Hill lookout to take in the expansive views across the bay. This is an ideal opportunity for photography and locating landmarks in the distance.
We'll have time to enjoy a coffee and conversation by the water.
**Agenda**
I will meet you at 10am out the front of Waves on the Beach Restaurant at the end of Wells Street.
We'll set off at 10.15am and follow the path through the foreshore reserve and out along the Frankston Pier.
From there we'll join the boardwalk and then head up to Oliver's Hill Lookout.
We'll take a break at the Little Olly's coffee van for a drink and a snack or you may like to bring your own.
After that we'll explore the Sweetwater Creek Nature Reserve before making our way back to the starting point.
This is an easy to moderate walk along the foreshore trail with a steep section up Oliver's Hill and some steeper stairs in the Sweetwater Creek Reserve.
The distance will be about 8km all up and the walking time is around 2.5 hours.

Sunday Meditation | Community Building | Connection | Meet New People
**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.

Beyond Quantum Physics - What Nisargadatta & Ramana Maharishi Knew About Reality
Quantum physics is now pointing at something the ancient sages already knew: reality is far stranger, and far more intimate, than anything we were taught.
What's surprising is that two Indian sages, one in a small Bombay room, one on a sacred hill in Tamil Nadu were pointing at the same thing long before the science caught up.
**What You'll Discover:**
In this talk you'll discover the exciting discoveries in quantam physics and how they resonate with non duality.
It will leave you with a clarity that doesn't depend on a belief system, or next spiritual experience. Just a direct recognition of what has always been here.
**Schedule**
* Talk by Rajiv followed by open Q&A
* Guided Meditation
* Spiritual networking. Make friends with others on the spiritual path
**About Rajiv**
Rajiv dedicated years of his life seeking enlightenment. His pursuit for truth, reality, emptiness and self-discovery took him through the profound depths of mysticism. He meditated 14 hours a day, stayed with monks, lived in the Himalayan caves, learned from wise sages and researched every major spiritual system, including Zen, Non Duality, Yoga, Buddhism etc.
Then one momentous morning in 2005, he experienced his first shift into higher states of consciousness, an inner spiritual awakening. This was followed by days of infinite ecstasy and bliss. Finally, the years of seeking culminated and he realised his own true nature.
He now shares his deep insights to help seekers progress on the path of awakening & meditation. His approach is secular, based on personal experience. You can read about his spiritual journey here — [https://innerspiritualawakening.com/rajiv-agarwal/my-journey/](https://innerspiritualawakening.com/rajiv-agarwal/my-journey/)
**Venue**
Kathleen Syme Library 251 Faraday Street, Carlton, VIC
We will be in Multipurpose Room 2.
We may take some photos to capture the moment. If you prefer not to be photographed, please let the organiser know at any time. This event is free and open to all adult seekers (18+). For inquiries please email Manpreet — [mysteriousmk@yahoo.com](mailto:mysteriousmk@yahoo.com)

Mindful Photography Walk – A Gentle Pause in Nature
Join me for a small, mindful photography walk in nature. (**NOTE Time is 9:00 AM EST(Meetup is having technical Issue))**
This is a slow, intentional gathering — not focused on fitness or perfect photography — but on simply pausing, observing, and being present.
We’ll walk at a gentle pace, with moments of quiet, and a few light prompts to help you notice details you might normally miss.
📷 You don’t need any photography experience — a phone camera is enough.
This is also not a business networking event. It’s a calm space to connect with nature and, if it feels natural, with like-minded people.
🌿 What to expect:
• A slow-paced, relaxed walk
• Moments of silence and observation
• Simple reflection prompts
📍 Location: [ Red Trabue Nature Preserve]
⏱ Duration: \~60 minutes
This is a small, initial gathering as I begin creating this space through WellGratiVibes — a blend of mindfulness, nature, and quiet connection.
If this resonates with you, you’re welcome to join.
