Sunday Meditation | Community Building | Connection | Meet New People
**Who We are..... 🤝**
Our journey to bring people together began in January of 2022. The group was started with a simple intention to gather and meet some likeminded people - connecting through the powerful act of meditation and sharing our genuine selves while sitting in a circle that represents equality, harmony and wholeness( *we believe everyone in the circle is a teacher and a student at the same time)*.
And over the last 4 years of consistently coming together, we have fostered a beautiful, loving, dependable community where members from all walks of life have experienced a sacred space to sit in silence together and meditate, share their authentic selves, give presence to others and forge meaningful and long lasting connections.
The Meditations are guided by Sana(co-founder and host), who is a Trained and certified meditation teacher by the Meditation Association of Australia, and has been guiding meditations for 3+ years in corporate and community settings.
✨ **Do you wish to....**
* Experience a simple yet powerful meditation and breathing practice to find calm, relaxation and clarity
* Connect with like-minded people in your local community and foster meaningful connections
* Meet others who are passionate about growing, uplifting themselves, and supporting others
* Share insights from your personal journey (or simply listen and learn)
Or maybe you just want to...
☮️ **Spend your Sunday evening in a peaceful, zen space and meet new people? Bring a friend (or two!) and let’s connect.**
**What’s on the evening’s flow?**
* **Open meet & greet** – connect and settle in
* **5 min guided meditation** to land into the space and connect within
* **Sharing circle** (totally optional!) – share your thoughts or simply listen
* **20-30 min guided meditation** – for relaxation and deeper connection

📍 **250 George St, Fitzroy VIC 3065**

Coffee Catchup - Mount Waverley ☕
* **What We’re About**
You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with, so join us — and be part of a community that rises above circumstances and creates opportunities. Inspire and be inspired by those who make things happen.
It's a relaxed, organic space to connect with like-minded people and network—genuinely talking, learning from each other, and connecting over shared interests.
* **What to Expect**
Casual Meetups: We gather semi-regularly at a local café to chat about everything from stepping outside your comfort zone to business ideas, creative projects, and building a life aligned with your purpose. It’s relaxed, easy, and welcoming—no need to have anything “figured out.”
An Easy-Going Space: We keep things simple and low-pressure. Once everyone arrives, we ease in with some light conversation and naturally break into smaller groups.
Networking: Feel free to introduce yourself or let people know what you're working on if you feel like it. And if anyone wants to quickly shout out what they’re working on or looking for before we settle in, go for it—it’s a great way to spark new conversations.
* **Host Support**
If you’d like a one-on-one chat with me about your business, just tap me on the shoulder. I’ll be floating around and happy to make time for you.
**Quick note for the day:**
Depending on the weather, we might go for a walk too. Just remember to wear comfy shoes 🌞 👟 🥾:)
❗If you're running late, drop me a quick message as we might leave the cafe for a walk within the last 30-45 minutes. 🏃 🏃♂️ 🏃♀️

🎼HARMONY BRIDGE : Concert I: Ukrainian Voices & Baltic Echoes
✨ I invite you to a special evening born from silence, harmony, and love for music -
🎶 **Music needs no translation — it speaks in the voice of the heart, even when the world falls silent.**
In times like these, it feels more important than ever to keep listening — and to truly hear.
There is music that sounds beautiful.
And there is music that has lived through history.
A few things to know before concert [Harmony Bridge: Ukraine–Australia. With Ukraine in the Heart](https://www.facebook.com/events/2444840435976414/?__cft__%5B0%5D=AZaiWrl7AdRwZQkjTd5wGfL8ETUtwOtQ-Vs6ndJuTGBF4OQKRYH77tMtTDzcyw3EHXVl4xMPwNZojzfo46Yup3h-uXx0EwfWoNgd7GbYPjS4yrECQtadB0kiBCI2bKc_9g231u4mbqYqrPbl4OR00vgWc_ZCZbDtBlaGjIlM3h32MeJNHU9PZBEblMXgfOq-nfSlsitlkxwwV_qAnY62q43f&__tn__=-UK-R):
A string quartet is a form where nothing can be hidden — every sound is exposed, every emotion is real. That is why composers entrusted it with their most personal thoughts.
Ukrainian chamber music was often created in difficult times — becoming a way to preserve what could not be spoken aloud.
Some of the melodies you will hear were written over a century ago, yet they still resonate as if they were created today.
A quartet is always a conversation. Between instruments. Between composer and listener. Between past and present.
On 3 May, this conversation will come to life.
* **🗓 Sunday, 3 May 2026 – 3:00 PM**
**⏰ Doors open 2:00 PM**

Duty vs. Results: What Makes an Action Moral?
When judging morality, should we prioritize **intentions/duty** or **outcomes/results**? It introduces two influential philosophers as representatives of these approaches.
* **Immanuel Kant (deontology):** An action is moral when it is done from **duty** and follows rational, universal principles (the **categorical imperative**). Certain acts—like lying—are wrong regardless of the consequences; you can’t do a wrong thing for a right reason.
* **John Stuart Mill (utilitarian consequentialism):** The morality of an action is determined by its **effects**, specifically how much **happiness/well-being** it produces. Mill argues that some pleasures are “higher” than others, and that good intentions don’t redeem harmful outcomes.
## Discussion Questions
1. **The lying dilemma:** A murderer comes to your door and asks if your friend is hiding inside. Kant would say you must not lie.
2. **Can good intentions rescue a bad outcome?**
3. **The organ harvest problem:** A surgeon has five patients dying of organ failure and one healthy patient in for a checkup. Killing the one to harvest organs would save five lives, and the math works out for the utilitarian. Why does this feel so deeply wrong? Is that feeling a point in Kant's favor, or just a bias we should overcome?
4. **Do rules need exceptions?** Kant insists moral rules must be universal, with no exceptions. But most of us can imagine extreme scenarios where any rule seems like it should bend. Does the need for exceptions fatally undermine deontology, or is the strength of the system precisely that it refuses to bend?
5. **Who gets to calculate the consequences?** Utilitarianism asks us to maximize good outcomes, but we're notoriously bad at predicting consequences. If we can't reliably know the results of our actions, is it practical to base our entire moral system on outcomes? Does this uncertainty push us back toward rules and principles?
6. **Everyday morality:** Think about a real moral decision you've made recently, even a small one. Did you reason more like a Kantian (what's the right thing to do in principle?) or more like a utilitarian (what will produce the best result?)? Do most people naturally lean one way?
7. **Justice vs. the greater good:** A town can prevent a deadly plague by sacrificing one innocent person. The greater good is clearly served. But is it just? Can an action be morally right and deeply unjust at the same time?
8. **The big synthesis question:** Are these two systems actually opposed, or do they often arrive at the same answers by different paths? Is it possible that we need both: rules to guide us in the moment and consequences to evaluate systems and policies over time?
