Thoughtstorm® Session Topic: Intl Day of Happiness, Yarraville
Would you like to enhance your creativity, confidence and increase your awareness? We’d love you to join us to Thoughtstorm® the topic International Day of Happiness in the warm, friendly environment of the Yarraville Community Centre.
How Thoughtstorm came about
Thoughtstorm is a technique developed from a seed of speculation: are there more effective (rational, cooperative, compassionate) ways of thinking? Methods whose long-term consequences will not lead to oblivion. This is the genesis of Thoughtstorm.
What is it?
For anyone with an interest in leadership, deeper conversations or creative problem solving, something much more than a group discussion occurs. What is experienced in Thoughtstorm is a forgotten sensory ability - mind-linking. An evolution in human thinking and learning.
The direction moves from a narrow range of possibility into discovering corecepts, when individual minds merge into a much more powerful collective awareness and experience a deeper, more compassionate comprehension of reality. Corecepts trigger intuitive recognition and agreement by the group, a ‘Why, of course!’ reaction.
New insights guaranteed!
Because this process taps into abilities already present in the human mind and into aggregates of consciousness straining to express themselves, very little practice is required.
Would you like to see and understand things in a way that is new for all of us? Would you like to develop your consciousness and your creative intelligence? Would you like to be inspired to create positive change?
Then come and join us to Thoughtstorm together.
If it’s your first time to Thoughtstorm, please RSVP early to give plenty of time to arrange a brief prep call on Zoom to go over the Thoughtstorm procedures so we can all get started on time together.
**Agenda:**
6.30pm - Arrive, meet and greet, read over Thoughtstorm instructions
6.45pm - Begin the Thoughtstorm
7.45pm - Finish
When you RSVP we will be in touch with the details.
We look forward to seeing you there!

OMM Training
**ORGASMIC MINDFULNESS MEDITATION (OMM)**
Orgasmic Mindfulness Meditation (OMM) is sweeping the world as more people awaken to the truth that there is more available when it comes to intimacy, connection, and aliveness in our relationships and lives.
The philosophy behind OMM offers a powerful map for how we relate, not only in intimate connection, but in communication, creativity, leadership, and everyday life. OMM teaches us how to bring attention to sensation, listen to desire, and cultivate flow rather than effort or force. Over time, this creates deeper levels of intimacy, clarity, and embodied presence across all areas of life.
**People choose OMM because they desire to:**
⚑ Feel more connected to themselves and others
⚑ Experience greater confidence and vitality
⚑ Spend more time in the Orgasmic State
⚑ Feel more comfortable in their body and self-expression
⚑ Cultivate focus and sustained attention
⚑ Have more pleasure, presence, and aliveness in their lives
The OMM practice is simple, specific, and repeatable. Each OMM is set up in the same way, creating a consistent container that allows participants to stop analysing and instead follow sensation, listen to the body, and remain present.
The practice focuses on the clitoris, often described as one of the female centers of power and pleasure, additionally is where the most concentration of nerve endings exist in either human body, male or female and thus is a super highway for both people when they place their attention there, to flow states and higher states of consciousness.
OMM Practitioner Training teaches both the practice and the philosophy of Orgasmic Mindfulness Meditation, offering tools you can apply anywhere connection is present.
Upon completion, participants gain access to a worldwide network of practitioners, allowing them to continue their OMM journey wherever they travel and to team up with anyone who has been trained, by simply asking "Would you like to OM?"
OMM training is open to both singles and couples.
⸻
**WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE TRAINING**
OMM Practitioner Training introduces Orgasmic Mindfulness Meditation as both a meditation practice and a way of relating.
**For Men**
Men often come to OMM training seeking a deeper, more grounded experience of intimacy and connection. The training supports a shift away from performance-based relating and toward presence, sensitivity, and embodied confidence.
**Men can expect to:**
• Understand the difference between effort-based arousal and the Orgasmic State
• Develop greater nervous system regulation and emotional awareness
• Cultivate sustained attention through sensation-based mindfulness
• Learn to respond to desire without urgency or pressure
• Experience a more relaxed, embodied sense of masculinity
• Deepen attunement, trust, and connection in relationship
**For Women**
Women often experience OMM training as a return to the body as a source of wisdom, clarity, and self-trust. The practice supports pleasure without performance, expectation, or self-abandonment.
**Women can expect to:**
• Learn what supports the body to enter and sustain the Orgasmic State
• Build safety and trust with sensation and desire
• Increase sensitivity and embodied awareness
• Strengthen boundaries and self-expression
• Experience pleasure as nourishing and regulating
• Reconnect with confidence, vitality, and self-leadership
**All Participants Will Learn**
• An introduction to OMM philosophy as a way of living in flow and connection
• The difference between climax and orgasm
• What supports the nervous system to access the Orgasmic State
• How to move attention from the head into the body
• Female anatomy and how to locate the clitoral focus point
• The structured steps of the OMM practice
• Foundational stroking technique
• How to ask for what you want from the voice of desire
⸻
**HOW THE TRAINING WORKS**
The OMM Practitioner Training is delivered over three structured sessions, combining philosophy, practical learning, and integration support. Training is available in person or online.
Sessions 1 and 2 are recommended to be completed in close succession, ideally on the same day, to support continuity of learning, nervous system regulation, and embodied integration.
**Session 1: Philosophy & Foundations**
**120 minutes** \| In person or online
An interactive session exploring the philosophy of Orgasmic Mindfulness Meditation and how its principles apply to your relationships, inner world, and life.
**Session 2: The OMM Practice**
**120 minutes** \| In person or online
A practical session covering the steps, structure, and technique of the OMM practice. If you attend with another person, you may choose to be guided through an OMM within a clear, consent-based container.
**Session 3: Integration & Coaching**
60 minutes \| In person or online
A follow-up coaching session, for your trainer to offer you coaching on how your practice has been going for you since your last session, and to answer any questions that have arisen through your lived experience.
⸻
**INVESTMENT & TRAINING OPTIONS**
Hourly Rate: $190 per hour
Trainings are paid in full when you book your session times with your trainer.
**Baseline OMM Practitioner Training**
✔ Session 1 – 2 hours
✔ Session 2 – 2 hours
✔ Session 3 – 1 hour
Total: 5 hours
Investment: $850
**Extended Integration Option**
✔ Session 3 – 2 hours
Total: 6 hours
Investment: $1040
Some participants choose to extend Session 3 to allow additional time for integration, refinement of attention and technique, and two guided OMMs within a supportive, consent-based container.
This option is particularly valuable for those who learn best through embodied repetition and spacious integration.
Higher levels of training are available following completion of this introductory program.

Project Hail Mary
Hi all,
We havent seen scifi for a while, and this on is more hollywood blockbuster than our usual arthouse, so something different.
It also scores an impressive 95% with critics and 98% with audiences on rotten tomatoes. But runs for 2hrs 30 min 😫
We'll be in the usual meeting place [read on for details] from 6:30pm. If there's something else on your film wish list that you want to catch instead, then please feel free to do so and catch us in the Nova bar afterwards for a chat.
Looking forward to seeing you there.
Cheers,
Alicia
**--=>+ Meeting Spot +<=--**
Outside the clothing store Black Orange. It is inside Lygon Court next to Brunettis. Join the group at the meeting spot 10 minutes before the start time or see us in the movie.
**--=>+ The Film +<=--**
A sci-fi adventure epic from Phil Lord and Chris Miller (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, The Lego Movie, 22 Jump Street), PROJECT HAIL MARY stars Ryan Gosling and Sandra Hüller.
Science teacher Ryland Grace (Gosling) wakes up alone on a spaceship, light-years from home with no recollection of who he is or how he got there. As his memory returns, he begins to remember his mission: solve the riddle of a mysterious substance causing the sun to die out and stop it from being destroyed. Calling on all his scientific knowledge and unorthodox ideas to save everything on Earth from extinction, he soon learns that an unexpected friendship may be the key to keeping humanity alive.
**--=>+ Tickets +<=--**
Everyone will need to buy their own ticket online and in advance. If you want to sit with other group members, there's a tendency for us to pick seats in the back two rows. Those who feel comfortable can catch up in Nova's bar afterward.
**--=>+ Afterwards+<=--**
We meet in Nova's bar after the movie. Look for us in the area to the left as you go down the steps. Share your thoughts about the film with the group over a drink of your choice.
If the bar is closed we typically head across the road to the Wolf's Lair which is out the back of Jimmy Watson's.

Exploring Toxic Masculinity
Please join us this Sunday as we discuss Masculinity in the 21st century. This session will be hosted by Jefferson.
**We will meet at the Queensberry Hotel, 593 Swanston Street, Carlton (100m north of Melbourne Central) at 2pm for a 2:15pm start sharp.**
**We kindly ask attendees to pay $5 to attend to help with MeetUp costs & venue costs. This is not mandatory, but if you are a regular member it would be appreciated. Any extra moneys will go towards buying food and drinks for the table. The venue also expects us to spend money as a group, so please buy at least one drink or meal from the bar.**
There is no pre-requisite preparation necessary for this session, nor a philosophical background, all that is required is a curious mind. These discussions are both a Socrates Cafe style discussion and lively metaphysical dojo, in the spirit of learning and friendly debate, so please feel free to challenge others' assumptions and be prepared to have your own assumptions challenged.
Find below some questions to consider, however note these are free-ranging events and the below serve merely as a springboard for the discussion:
* What is the Manosphere, and what is Masculinity (both healthy and toxic)?
* Are traditional masculine traits healthy for individuals and societies?
* Does modern society reward or punish traditionally masculine traits?
* What virtues, behaviours, etc. should be prioritized in raising boys?
* Are modern educational systems, communities and the economy well-suited to boys’ developmental tendencies?
* Is the idea of “healthy masculinity” necessary, or should we move beyond gendered virtue frameworks entirely?
* Should boys be raised differently from girls, or should parenting be largely gender-neutral?
* What do we make of cultural figures such as Jordan Peterson, Andrew Tate, Stefan Molyneux, and so on?
* Does the concept of toxic masculinity unfairly target men as a class?
* Does the concept of toxic masculinity itself produce harm by pathologizing male identity?
* Is there an equivalent concept for femininity, and should there be?
* Is the idea of a “war on men” descriptively accurate, or primarily rhetorical?
* Is the perception of a “war on men” driven more by material conditions or cultural narratives?
* Are men uniquely disadvantaged in certain domains, and does that constitute injustice?
* Is the manosphere a reaction to real socio-economic change or just another identity narrative of victimhood?
Feel free to post any questions, comments, videos or links related to the topic in the discussion page below.
Hope to see you there!

📍 Secret Garden Bar: 7/60 Fitzroy St, St Kilda VIC 3182
📅 Saturday 21 March 2026
🕖 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM (venue open late)
👥 A welcoming room of Melbourne singles \| Curated age zones \| Complimentary standard drink
***
## THIS IS NOT JUST ANOTHER SINGLES NIGHT
Dating apps promised connection.
Instead, many people feel tired, disconnected, and quietly wondering if meaningful relationships are still possible.
They are.
But they rarely happen on a screen.
They happen when people show up in real life.
Kismetrix is a real-life social experience designed for people who are done swiping and ready to meet properly again.
No apps.
No scripts.
No awkward formats.
Just real people, real conversations, and real chemistry in a room full of others who feel the same.
If you've ever thought:
“Surely there are still great people out there — I just need to meet them differently.”
This night was created for you.
***
## WHY THIS EVENT IS DIFFERENT
Kismetrix events bring together socially engaged singles who are open to meeting new people in real life.
Our community attracts people who are:
• warm, confident, and grounded
• socially curious and open to conversation
• interested in meaningful connection
• ready to meet people beyond dating apps
People arrive curious.
People stay because the energy feels right.
And sometimes they leave with connections they never expected.
Connection doesn’t happen by staying home.
***
## A NOTE ABOUT THIS EVENT FORMAT
This event was originally envisioned on a larger scale.
However, as it’s come together, we’ve intentionally refined the format to better reflect what Kismetrix is truly about — creating space for **genuine, meaningful, and authentic connection**.
For this night, all guests will be brought together in **one main room**, rather than across multiple areas.
This allows for a more cohesive atmosphere, better flow, and more natural conversations throughout the evening.
Because at the end of the day, it’s not about the size of the crowd —
it’s about the moments that happen within it.
***
## CURATED AGE ZONES
To help everyone feel comfortable and meet people in a similar life stage, guests attend within curated age zones inside the venue:
• 26–38
• 34–50
• 45+
While everyone shares the same main space, this helps create a more comfortable and relevant social experience.
***
## THE VIBE AT SECRET GARDEN BAR
Secret Garden Bar offers a lush indoor–outdoor setting in the heart of St Kilda — perfect for relaxed social connection.
Expect:
• warm lighting and vibrant atmosphere
• effortless mingling and natural conversations
• a welcoming crowd where coming solo is completely normal
• great music and a lively (but not overwhelming) social environment
Every ticket includes a complimentary standard drink, helping everyone settle in and start conversations naturally.
There will also be some fun optional games and interactive moments throughout the evening to help spark conversations and encourage guests to meet beyond their immediate circle.
Participation is completely optional — the night flows naturally whether you prefer to mingle freely or join in.
***
## HOSTING & FLOW
Kismetrix hosts will be present from 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM to welcome guests and support the social flow.
After hosted hours, the venue remains open — so you're welcome to stay on, mingle, and let the night continue naturally.
***
## THIS NIGHT IS FOR YOU IF…
✔️ You're over dating apps but still believe connection is possible
✔️ You enjoy meeting people naturally in real life
✔️ You prefer genuine conversations over loud, crowded scenes
✔️ You're open to new conversations and unexpected connections
Even if you don't meet “the one,” you'll leave reminded that meaningful connection is still very much alive.

At the start of the walk, you’ll have the option to select a simple intention word to carry with you throughout the morning.
We’ll move at a gentle, inclusive pace through the gardens, pausing occasionally to notice elements of the natural environment — such as scent, sound and scenery — and reflect on how time in green spaces supports mental wellbeing.
No one is left behind.
You’re welcome to talk, walk quietly, or simply be present.
## Post-Walk Community Coffee (Optional)
The event concludes with a coffee at The Terrace café for those who wish to continue connecting. This is completely optional.
## Meeting Point

Dinner & a Movie: PROJECT HAIL MARY at Marcus Pickerington!
Join us as we get together to see Ryan Gosling and Sandra Huller in the highly anticipated sci-fi adventure, PROJECT HAIL MARY! The film is based on the best-selling novel of The Martian and follows a man who awakens on a spacecraft before realizing his mission to save Earth. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event:
DESCRIPTION: A science teacher wakes up on a spaceship, light years from home with no recollection of who he is or how he got there. As his memory returns, he begins to uncover his mission to save the Earth. The film is directed by the filmmaking due Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (21 and 22 Jump Street, Into and Across the Spider-Verse) and is based on the 2021 novel by Andy Weir (The Martian). The film stars Ryan Gosling, Sandra Huller (Anatomy of a Fall, The Zone of Interest), Lionel Boyce, Milana Vayntrub and Ken Leung.
TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VYsnngkS_U
BUZZ AND REVIEWS: The buzz and reviews for PROJECT HAIL MARY are off-the-charts good! The film is earning a 95% Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, where critics call it an “old school blockbuster crowd-pleaser” and “a new sci-fi classic!” It’s “deeply hopeful,” well-acted,” funny,” “dramatic,” and “exceptionally rousing throughout!” Others call it “something truly magical” and one that “we’ll be talking about this one for decades to come!” And I believe Slashfilm says it best: “It will lift up and squeeze your heart, crack you up with laughter, and give you a sense of hope and wonder in a way that few movies have been able to inspire.”
MOVIE PLAN: Please purchase your ticket for the 2:30pm SuperScreen DLX showing and meet in the lobby area between 2:05 and 2:15pm! Tickets already on sale and will likely move fast for this hot ticket / opening weekend showing so advance ticket purchase as soon as possible is advised!

DINNER PLAN: Dinner immediately following the movie at 5:30pm at group favorite, FUGU SUSHI, located just next door! Separate RSVP required for the Dinner / Movie portions of this event. An RSVP here means you're signed up for the MOVIE! This portion will be open as long as seats remain.
