Apr 22 | Healing Circle & Fire Ritual
A calm, intimate space to pause, reflect, and release what you’ve been holding — no pressure, just space to breathe.
### ✨ KISMETRIX \| True Connection
[Ticketed Event](https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/apr-22nd-healing-circle-fire-ritual-pause-reflect-release-tickets-1985990411783?utm-campaign=social&utm-content=attendeeshare&utm-medium=discovery&utm-term=listing&utm-source=cp&aff=ebdsshcopyurl)
**Healing Circle & Fire Ritual**
Pause. Reflect. Release.
📍 RYVE
Level 1, 38 Shafton St, Huntingdale VIC
📅 Wednesday, 22 April 2026
🕖 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM
## A SPACE TO PAUSE
Life gets heavy sometimes.
Not always in obvious ways —
but in the quiet things we carry:
Unspoken thoughts
Emotional weight
Stress, heartbreak, uncertainty
This evening is a space to slow down, breathe,
and reconnect with yourself — gently.
## WHO THIS IS FOR
This space is for you if:
• You’ve been feeling overwhelmed or mentally full
• You’ve been holding things in without space to process
• You’re seeking clarity, grounding, or emotional reset
• You want something deeper, but not overwhelming
You don’t need to be “ready” or have it all figured out.
Just come as you are.
## WHAT TO EXPECT
A small, supportive and guided experience:
• Calm and welcoming environment
• Gentle reflection and awareness practices
• Optional sharing (no pressure to speak)
• Space to simply sit, listen, and be present
• A symbolic fire ritual to close the evening
## FIRE RITUAL — LETTING GO
You’ll be invited to write down something you’re ready to release.
A thought.
A feeling.
A past story.
Through a simple fire ritual, we allow that chapter to shift and move forward.
Many people find this moment deeply grounding and freeing.
## SMALL & INTIMATE BY DESIGN
This is not a large event.
Numbers are intentionally limited
to create a space that feels safe, real, and personal.
## ABOUT YOUR HOST
Hosted by Vivienne Vu
Founder of Kismetrix \| True Connection
Vivienne creates spaces that support emotional awareness, presence,
and authentic human connection.
## 🔔 IMPORTANT NOTES
• This is a reflective group experience (not therapy or medical treatment)
• Participation is always optional — you can simply observe
• Respect, boundaries, and emotional safety are central to this space
• Tickets are limited and kept intentionally small
## WHY PEOPLE COME TO KISMETRIX
• Real experiences, not surface-level interactions
• Spaces designed with intention and care
• A sense of connection — with others and within yourself

Is Your Property Portfolio Helping You Build Wealth or Quietly Holding You Back?
Dear property investor,
**Note: please [register](https://events.resultsmentoring.com/escape.html?utm_source=meetup&utm_campaign=drn) to attend the workshop via Zoom.**
This is a free webinar for property investors who want to assess whether their current portfolio is truly helping them build wealth, income and freedom — or quietly holding them back.
**You may already have a property portfolio ...**
But here's the bigger question:
*Is it actually set up to deliver the result you want?*
With interest rates elevated, borrowing power tighter, cash flow under pressure and uncertainty around the economy and policy settings, many investors are starting to realise that owning property is not the same as building the right portfolio.
In this practical webinar, our sponsors, property mentors Simon Buckingham and Brendan Kelly from Results Mentoring will show you how to pressure-test your current portfolio so you can assess whether it is still fit for purpose in today’s environment.
**You'll learn:**
✅ how to tell whether a property is helping or hurting your long-term goals
✅ warning signs your portfolio may be underperforming, even if it looks fine on paper
✅ how to think more clearly about hold vs sell decisions
✅ why many investors get stuck with a portfolio that limits their progress
✅ what to focus on next if you want stronger growth, better cash flow and more flexibility
This is not about hype, fear or guesswork.
It is about giving you a more objective framework for assessing your current portfolio and your next move.

Best regards,

What If Your AI Could Be a Team? - Chad Green
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise.
We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration.
Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team.
