**About the Session -** *Light Within, Light Around.* A warm Christmas morning meditation to help you begin the day with softness, inner brightness, and a sense of gentle companionship, no matter what your Christmas looks like this year. Before the energy, memories, or emotions of the day gather, this hour is a gentle way to settle into your body and connect with a quieter, steadier space inside yourself. This session is especially supportive if you’re spending the day alone, navigating family dynamics, feeling tender or reflective, or simply wanting a moment of warmth and grounding before the day unfolds. We’ll be lying on the grass beneath the Christmas morning sky, allowing nature, breath, and stillness to soothe the nervous system and bring you back to yourself. **This session is designed to help you:** • Feel the warmth of your own inner light. • Anchor into steadiness before a the day. • Let the intensity of the season soften in your body. • Regulate and calm your nervous system. • Feel held, accompanied, and quietly supported by the morning. **We’ll begin with Yoga Nidra,** a guided deep-rest practice where you simply lie down, get comfortable, and allow your body to soften. There is nothing to perform or achieve. Once you’re settled, staying still helps your system drop into deeper rest while I guide your awareness gently through the body, helping the mind unwind and open. **From there, we’ll move into a visual meditation** themed around inner light, the glow within you that warms, steadies, and expands. Through imagery of sunlit warmth, gentle radiance, and a feeling of being held by both inner and outer light, this practice helps release emotional heaviness, invite comfort, and welcome the kind of companionship that comes from within. The experience is deeply soothing and designed for anyone who wants warmth, grounding, and presence on Christmas morning. **No experience is needed,** this session is beginner-friendly and fully guided from start to finish. ***"Nothing can dim the light that shines from within."*** *-Maya Angelou.* **When & Where:** **🗓 Christmas Day - Wednesday 25 December** **⏰ 9:00am - 10:00am** **📍 Edinburgh Gardens, Fitzroy North** We’ll set up on the grass behind the Rotunda - look for my yoga mat and the large pink sign that says “Free Guided Meditation.” **Weather notes:** This is an outdoor session. If the weather turns rainy, I’ll update the event listing beforehand - please check the Meetup page to make sure it’s still going ahead. Christmas mornings are usually calm and sunny, but Melbourne can always surprise us. **What to bring:** • Yoga mat or something to lie on • Light blanket • Eye covering or small pillow for comfort • Water • Comfortable clothing (If you forget a mat, I’ll have spares with me 😊) **Arriving and running late:** Arriving a few minutes early helps you get settled and grounded before we begin. If you’re running late, please still join, just slip in quietly. You won’t disturb the practice 😊. **Everyone is welcome.** Whether you're spending Christmas morning alone, with family, feeling reflective, or simply wanting a moment of calm and warmth, this space is for you. A soft, grounding morning to breathe, rest, and reconnect with the light within you. **I look forward to sharing this Christmas morning with you 🌿✨😊** **Kathy**

Looking to get outside, clear your head, and connect with good people? Join us for a relaxed walk around the beautiful streets and coastline of Port Melbourne. This is a casual meetup—no fitness goals, no pressure. Just a friendly stroll, good conversation, and a reason to step away from screens and into the fresh air. Whether you’re new in town, working from home, or just want a social reason to walk, you’re very welcome. Come as you are. Comfy shoes, water bottle, and curiosity are all you need. **Optional:** After the walk, some of us might grab a coffee nearby — feel free to join if you’re up for it!

Join me on Christmas Day for a family friendly picnic get-together in the beautiful Royal Botanic Gardens. Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, let’s make it a celebration of getting together, sharing, making new friends and connections. Bring along a plate, maybe something from your traditions that you would like to share. I will bring some paper plates and forks, and games such as bocce balls, quoits, card games, and picnic blankets, feel free to bring any games you would like to share also! You are also welcome to bring along your friends, family, kids and pets :) I will meet you at 1pm at the black and silver circular sculpture near the Visitors/Observation Centre, and we will head off by 1.15pm to find a spot on the lawns. We will spend a few hours together and finish up by 4pm, and you’re welcome to leave earlier as needed. When you RSVP **please click Attend** on the event page and I will be in touch about the details via direct message, I will also be available in the Event Comments on the day. I look forward to seeing you there!

Just a random coffee meetup outside kerekere cafe in Fitzroy gardens. Come and grab a coffee and/or snack. We usually meet and stand outside the cafe on the left under/near the big tree. Just a friendly way to meet others that might be by themselves or new in Melbourne. Just a very casual and laid back vibe. You may come and go as you please 😊 Please be respectful to each other and be careful about sharing personal information. This is NOT a dating meetup, just friends. Disclaimer: the organizers are not responsible for any loss of property or injury incurred at a meetup. We are volunteers who simply provide a platform to make friends.
