Welcome to the Party of Fives Meetups! If you are a gamer who wants to go beyond the usual PARTY gaming fare at boardgame meetups and cafes, this is it! We don't usually play Cards against Humanity, Exploding Kittens and Unstable Unicorns. That's just us. Make us play if you can. We will be playing an assortment of board games ranging from light strategic kinds to heavy thematic ones. Games we usually play range from light ones like Azul, Splendor, Jamaica to medium ones like Yokohama, Endeavor and Nippon and of course heavy ones like Twilight Imperium, Gloomhaven, Tainted Grail and Kingdom Death Monster! Do not be surprised if you see us painting miniatures or are engaged in some sort of insanely time-consuming enhancements towards our game elements in our games. Everyone get their kick in different ways. :) Painting groups are also in their groups of fives ... For the game designers out there, just tell us that you are a creator when you see us and we will have our own private creative sessions mapped out in a feasible way. Most others don't care so we should not disturb the force unnecessarily.

**About the experience: 🍃༄** Winding things down in December creates the perfect rhythm to immerse yourself in nature. This practice of **natural embodiment** **is a not a hike nor is it meant to be therapy** \- it is a slow\, reflective\, and embodied practice\. During the session, we move at an unhurried pace and pause often. Through nature-inspired invitations, such as listening to the sand, holding a natural object, or resting in stillness — we allow nature to meet us where we are, without trying to fix or force anything. This practice draws on somatic awareness, gentle attention, and non-linear exploration. Experiences may feel calming, emotional, grounding, or quietly insightful — each person’s experience will be different. There is no expectation to perform, share, or achieve anything. You are welcome to arrive exactly as you are. This session is open to anyone who feels drawn to slow down and listen — to themselves, to nature, and to what emerges in the space between. 🌳 **Date:** Saturday, 27 December 2025 **Time:** 5.30pm-7:00pm **Location:** Starbucks - Parkland Green, East Coast Park **Registration:** Through [meetup.com](http://meetup.com/) or Eventbrite **On donations:** A recommended donation of $20 has been established for this event. Learning from past events, it was suggested that a flat fee was given so that things are simpler, so here I am trying that! **Socials:** [https://www.instagram.com/terence.with.nature/](https://www.instagram.com/terence.with.nature/) [https://www.youtube.com/@OnThePaths](https://www.youtube.com/@OnThePaths) Feel free to look at my posts - it will give you more information on my approach :) My youtube channel is also available if you wish to hear my rambles. **Things to bring:** \- Water Bottle \- Comfortable clothes for the forest \- Sun protections \(hat\, sunscreen\, etc\.\) \- Repellents \(optional\) \- Umbrella/Poncho \(optional\) \- Small snack \(optional\) **About me:** My dream is to reignite our connection with nature and bring us city folk closer to nature and ourselves! In my previous work, I partnered with horses and nature to conduct experiential sessions. My certifications are a unique blend of having a social work degree, Equine Assisted Learning and Coaching certifications, and various experiential courses in natural spaces around the world. Okay, that's all I'll write about myself :p **Q&A:** Where do we meet? * We'll start at 5.30pm and meet meet around Starbucks in Parkland Green. I should be standing there awkwardly, probably in blue track pants. Is this Forest Therapy? * It can be, if that is what the experience means to you. I do not claim to facilitate Forest Therapy as that is not my training or intention. This is purely my own craft and passion, led by my heart and expertise. Therapy puts power outside you - but I believe that power, and nature, resides in you. Is this religious? * I come without religious leanings. However, you are free to integrate religion into your experience! I often find these experiences step between the physical and spiritual realm, and that can exist outside of religion. What if it rains? * If it rains, it depends what you want to do. If you need shelter, we will go to a suitable spot. If you want to dance in the rain, I'm sure the rain will only welcome you :)
