The Art of Choosing (For Women): Boundaries & Standards in Dating
### ✨ KISMETRIX \| Love Mastery
[Ticketed Event](https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/the-art-of-choosing-for-women-boundaries-standards-in-dating-tickets-1986299807193?utm-campaign=social&utm-content=attendeeshare&utm-medium=discovery&utm-term=listing&utm-source=cp&aff=ebdsshcopyurl)
This is the first release of The Art of Choosing under our Love Mastery Series.
**The Art of Choosing (For Women)**
Boundaries & Standards in Dating
📍 RYVE – Level 1, 38 Shafton St, Huntingdale VIC
📅 Wednesday, 8 April 2026
🕖 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM
## A WORKSHOP FOR WOMEN WHO WANT MORE THAN SURFACE-LEVEL CONNECTION
This is not about how to attract more people.
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

Raja Yoga - Online Course
This course, facilitated by Wendy Dixon, explores the concepts and exercises in Wallace Slater’s book *A Simplified Course of Raja Yoga*, which follows the Yoga Sutras or Aphorisms of Patanjali.
We meet online every Wednesday night and follow the 10-lesson structure created by Slater, allowing a month for each lesson. We will thoroughly explore each step, with time for discussion and practice.
Each session contains material on one or more of the eight limbs of yoga, so named by Patanjali - self-restraint (yama), self-discipline (niyama), posture (āsana), control of breath (prānayāma), control of the sense (pratyāhāra), concentration (dhāranā), meditation (dhyāna) and contemplation (samādhi).
Additional material is sourced from I. K. Taimni, Swami Vivekananda, H. P. Blavatsky and contemporary Raja Yoga books.
We begin and close each session with sitting meditations.
**This is an ongoing course that you can join at any time.**

***
## **A RELAXED SATURDAY NIGHT WHERE CONNECTION HAPPENS NATURALLY**

**They start with something to do.**
**This is a social night built around billiards, drinks and easy interaction — where meeting new people feels natural, not forced.**
**No swiping.**
**No awkward speed rounds.**
**No pressure to perform.**
**Just a room of like-minded singles showing up, enjoying the moment, and seeing what unfolds.**
***
## **👥 AGE GROUPS (GUIDED, NOT RESTRICTIVE)**
**To help create comfortable and natural conversations, we’ll have two general age groups on the night:**
**• 25–35**
**• 35–50**
**Guests will be gently grouped around tables at the start of the evening, with the freedom to move and mingle as the night progresses.**
**This keeps the atmosphere structured enough to feel easy — without being rigid.**
***
## **💫 ABOUT THE EVENT**
**Tired of small talk that goes nowhere?**
**Or dating apps that never quite translate into real life?**

**You’ll walk into a space where people:**
**• Are open to meeting others in real life**
**• Prefer conversation over endless texting**
**• Value good energy, respect and authenticity**
**• Are simply looking for a better way to connect**
**Line up a shot.**
**Share a laugh.**
**Start a conversation.**
**Sometimes that’s all it takes.**
***
## **🎯 WHO THIS NIGHT IS FOR**
**This event is for singles who:**
**• Enjoy relaxed, social environments**
**• Prefer something interactive over sitting across a table**
**• Are open to meeting new people — without pressure**

**No apps. No swiping. Just real people**

4 Dangerous Traps on the Spiritual Path
I spent 23 years chasing enlightenment and fell into numerous spiritual traps which kept me running in circles for years.
If you're walking the path, you'll meet these traps too.
The ego can subtly hijack the desire for spiritual awakening. It masks itself as progress to maintain control.
In this session we will go deeper into the 4 most dangerous traps you will encounter which can keep you stuck for years.
When these traps are seen, not discussed but actually seen, you can finally encounter the truth you have been longing for.
**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 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

Humanist Program
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. You can meet us in-person or attend online

Recruiting Virtual Mental Health Group Leaders!
We are recruiting new group leaders for virtual men's groups! Our primary groups are outdoor movement groups, but we are launching virtual groups for the state of Ohio and beyond and the groups will move outside in the spring, creating room for men's groups, women's groups and coed groups all over the country.
Read below to learn about our groups and click the links at the bottom to apply.
### **What is an Outdoor Empowerment Group?**
Our Outdoor Movement & Community Empowerment Groups are simple, guided experiences designed to help people reconnect with nature, themselves, and others. We combine some form of movement (hike, walk, run, bike, yoga, workout) and meaningful conversation within a simple community circle to create a space where individuals can support each other while prioritizing mental and physical well-being.
Whether you’re seeking stress relief, personal growth, or community, our groups offer everyone a unique and welcoming environment.
## **Why Join?**
* **Improve Mental & Physical Well-Being** – Movement, nature, and supportive conversations reduce stress and promote balance.
* **Feel Less Alone** – Build genuine connections with like-minded people in a safe, welcoming space.
* **Gain Clarity & Perspective** – Step outside daily routines and into a space designed for personal growth and reflection.
## **The Ideal Group Leader**
The ideal group leader
* Has a born-in passion for mental health, movement, connecting with nature and building community.
* Has 5 extra hours per week to dedicate to a meaningful cause for at least one year. Yes, you can leave any organization at any time and we can also ask you to leave, but we are building with legacy in mind and we need people who can commit and be ALL IN on this mission to build with us.
* Is independently financially stable with the ability to volunteer with no expectation of pay. This is a deeply beautiful journey of service that all participants commit to at Speak Your Mind.
* An ability to manage groups with high emotional intelligence and desire for human connection.
* An ability to self-motivate and market/promote their group on Facebook and other social platforms.
* Nature informed therapy or clinical therapists/psychologists a plus.
## **Our Impact**

Since launching, we have helped thousands find support, connection, and healing through our Outdoor Movement Groups. 100% of participants surveyed have reported:
* A noticeable improvement in mental clarity and emotional well-being.
* An increase in social connection and a sense of belonging.
* Said they would return again.
We believe mental health should be accessible, community-driven, and rooted in nature. Join us and take the first step toward a more connected, grounded, and supported version of yourself.
### **Why Our Groups are Donation-Based**
Our Outdoor Movement Groups are made possible through a donation-based model. This approach allows us to keep our events accessible to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances, while also ensuring that we can continue expanding our reach. It’s a great way to pay it forward and support the growth of this beautiful mission!
Every contribution helps us:
* **Cover Essential Costs** – Donations allow us to pay essential legal, marketing, insurance, and admin costs as well as nourish the important people who run the organization.
* **Grow Our Mission** – With your support, we can bring these healing experiences to thousands more people in the future and execute our long term plan to expand across the USA, affecting up to 500,000 people per year.
By choosing to contribute, you’re not just leading an event—you’re helping build a mental health movement that supports long-term well-being and connection for all during a severe mental health epidemic.
