Struggling with study or learning? You’re not alone.
**Struggling with study or learning? You’re not alone.**
This meetup suits people at all levels of study skill.
Too many children, teenagers, and adults find studying difficult—not because they lack ability, but because they were never taught **how to learn**.
This meetup introduces the basics of **Study Technology**—a practical, proven approach that shows how learning really works and how to overcome common study barriers. It applies to children, teens (and parents), teachers, and adults alike.
You’ll discover simple, effective methods to improve understanding, confidence, and performance—whether at school, work, or online. Teachers and parents often see rapid improvements in both behaviour and results.
Yes, it *is* possible to improve study performance—in just **five easy steps**.
If you can’t attend in person, online options are available.
**Join us and learn how to study effectively—once and for all.**
See you at the meetup,
**Pam**
When learning clicks, confidence follows.

🎽 Dress Code: Comfortable activewear or running shoes
☕ **Ticket includes 1 standard hot beverage after the run**
#### **SOME OF THE BEST CONVERSATIONS HAPPEN MID-STRIDE.**
There's something about moving together that breaks down walls faster than any icebreaker ever could. The rhythm of a run. The fresh air. The shared effort. The way conversation just... flows.
That's exactly why we created this.
Kismetrix has teamed up with **Pun & Gainz** — Melbourne-based personal trainers who believe fitness is as much about community as it is about movement — for our first ever **Run Club Social** at the beautiful Albert Park Lake.
This isn't a race. It isn't a gym class. It's a relaxed, social Sunday morning run for singles who want to meet real people, in real life, doing something they actually enjoy.
#### **🏃 WHAT TO EXPECT**
* A PT-led warm up to get you moving and feeling good before we set off
* A relaxed run around Albert Park Lake (approx. 3–4 km) at your own pace
* Natural pace groups form as you go — runners with runners, walkers with walkers, and everything in between
* A supported walk/run option for those who prefer a gentler pace — you're in good company and you'll still see the whole lake
* Everyone meets at the Boatshed Cafe at the end — this is where the morning really comes alive
* Hot drink included, conversation flows naturally, no awkward formats needed
* Coming solo is completely normal — most people do
#### **💛 WHO THIS IS FOR**
This event is for singles who:
* Enjoy being active and want to meet people in a natural setting
* Are curious about running or already love it — all paces genuinely welcome
* Prefer real-life connection over dating apps and loud venues
* Want to be part of a growing community, not just attend a one-off event
* Are open to friendship, connection, or something more — without it being the whole point
All adult singles welcome, across a wide range of ages. Come solo — most people do.
#### **✨ ABOUT THE COLLABORATION**
Pun & Gainz are Melbourne personal trainers who bring energy, expertise, and genuine warmth to every session. They believe the best workouts happen when people feel good together — and that's exactly what Kismetrix is built on.
Two communities. One Sunday morning. A shared belief that showing up — in fitness and in life — is where everything begins.
#### **📋 WHAT TO BRING**
* Comfortable running or walking shoes
* Water bottle
* Sunscreen & a light layer (June mornings can be crisp)
* An open, easy-going mindset 💛
#### **🎟️ [TICKETS](https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/jun-14-run-club-x-pun-gainz-move-connect-meet-at-albert-tickets-1990309261579?aff=oddtdtcreator)**
🌿 Introductory Price: $10
🌿 Introductory Last minutes Price: $20
— includes 1 standard hot beverage after the run.
*This is our first Run Club Social with Pun & Gainz. Introductory pricing reflects that — and won't last.*

* Adults only, singles welcome across all ages
* No children or dogs — this helps keep the space comfortable and social for everyone
* Please arrive by 8:45 AM — we move off at 9:00 AM and cannot hold the group

The Key To Making Money - Free Talk
Why do we find it hard to make money, while others are flourishing and prospering?
Is it just that some were born lucky? No.
Do some people just have a natural talent? No.
It comes down to the art of communication. One's ability to communicate will determine how successful one will be, not only in business, but life as a whole.
We will be covering different avenues of communication, and what you can do to bring change to your life.
-------
The talk will go for roughly 45 mins, give or take. We will then proceed to do a Personality Test which will really break down what areas in your life you are lacking in, and can then get the appropriate tools to assist you.

In Person Event: The Secrets to Mental Health
Mental Health, how do you understand it? How can you improve it?
How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself.
Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went?
Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence?
Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.
This group is hosted by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

Walk & Talk About Life's Big Questions
[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations.
If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!).
**HOW IT WORKS**
**Step 1: Bring a topic**
Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event.
**Step 2: Circle up & share**
We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds.
**Step 3: Walk, talk & float**
We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!"
**Step 4: Feel more alive**
Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times.
*For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)*
**HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC**
A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about.
Recent topics include:
* "What are you passionate about right now?"
* "What makes a good friend?"
* "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?"
* "How do you want to be remembered?"
* "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?"
Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter.
**WHAT TO EXPECT**
This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.*
But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here.
**FAQ**
* Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk!
* We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space.
* We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space.
* Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know.
* Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic!
**LOGISTICS**
* If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event.
* This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs.
* Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details.
* If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋
**IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...**
[The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up.
* This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries. If the walks feel like a spark... The Board is the fire. Apply [here](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board).
