* 🌏 **MELBOURNE → WARBURTON**🏙️ * 📅 **SUN 5 APR, DAY TRIP** *☀️* * ✨**Nature, movement, and a touch of magic**.✨ \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **✨**🌿 **Escape to Dreamy Warburton — A Day to Breathe, Walk & Feel** Leave the city behind and step into a day where everything slows down. We begin with a gentle journey out of Melbourne, easing into nature with a relaxed coffee stop before arriving in the heart of Warburton. From here, the day unfolds naturally — a beautiful 10 km walk through forest trails, open views, and quiet moments along the way. No rush, just rhythm. We pause, we breathe, we take it all in. Midday brings local flavours at the farmers market, followed by a relaxed picnic with a fresh fruit platter — simple, nourishing, shared together. In the afternoon, we step into the magical Redwoods Forest — a place to slow down even more. A short guided meditation invites you to ground, breathe deeply, and reconnect. We continue with a peaceful river walk, a scenic countryside drive, and a final stop to taste the region’s fresh local produce — a sweet finish to a full and balanced day. As the sun begins to soften, we return to Melbourne — lighter, calmer, and with a heart full of good moments. *** ### ✨ **All included. No stress. Just show up and enjoy.** Comfortable transport, guided experience, snacks, picnic, and good company — everything is taken care of. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **🎒 All-Inclusive for $99** ✅ Round-trip **transport** in a comfortable **MERCEDES minivan** 🚐 ✅ Guided **9 km hike** + all gears 🥾 ✅ **Fruit platter** 🍉 ✅ Unlimited **snacks, soft drinks, coffee & tea** ☕ ✅ **Meditation** \- with great company ✅ Visit **stunning scenic lookouts** 🌄🦘 \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- #### 🕒 Itinerary: 🌅 07:30 — Meet at **St Paul’s Cathedral,** Flinders Street ☕ 08:00 — Stop for a break 🍉 09:00 — Arriving in town - **tea/coffee/drinks** and snacks (included!) 🥾 09:15 — Begin **10 km easy hike** *(\~140 m elevation)* 📩 12:30 — **Farmers Market** visit 🍽️ 13:30 — Picnic & **fruit platter** (included! +snacks/drinks) 🌟 14:00 — Visit the stunning **RedWood Forest** ✨ 14:30 — **Meditation** – ground & breathe 🌄 15:00 — Riverwalk 🚐 15:30 — **Scenic drive** 🌸 16:00 — Taste the Region: **Country Fruit Shed stop** 🏙️ 18:30 — Return to **Melbourne** with a heart full of memories 📍 Drop-off: Hammer Hall, Melbourne \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **💰 How to Book?** Secure your spot with a **$99 transfer** **Please note:** An RSVP alone does not secure your spot — only a transfer confirms your place on the trip.

Meditation practicing

This Easter, we’re celebrating a little differently — with connection, conscious choices, and simple conversations around the things we often take for granted… like chocolate and coffee 🍫☕ Join Eco Impact Tribe for a relaxed Walk & Talk through the beautiful Royal Botanic Gardens. A chance to slow down, enjoy the sunshine, and explore how small everyday choices can create a wider impact. This is a casual and welcoming event for anyone who enjoys meaningful conversation, nature, and meeting like-minded people — without pressure or formality. We’ll gently explore ideas around fair trade, ethical consumption, and conscious living, keeping everything light, open, and conversational. If you like feel free to bring along an ethical or fair trade chocolate to share. **Meeting Point:** We’ll meet at the Kiosk of **The Observatory** **Café at 11:30 AM** inside the Royal Botanic Gardens, so you’re welcome to grab a coffee before we begin. If possible, bring your own takeaway cup. 📩 If you’re running late, please DM me! **Plan for the day:** • Meet and greet at the Observatory Cafe at 11:30AM ([https://maps.app.goo.gl/gskx6xgNiJF1f72g6](https://maps.app.goo.gl/gskx6xgNiJF1f72g6)) • Gentle group walk through the gardens • We stop at **Central Lawn** to connect and relax ([https://maps.app.goo.gl/EPbmiZzVk1wRoD989](https://maps.app.goo.gl/EPbmiZzVk1wRoD989)) **What to bring:** • Comfortable walking shoes • Water • Hat and sunscreen if it’s sunny • Have something to sit down • A reusable coffee cup (preferable) • Your good vibes Whether you’re new to sustainability or already passionate about it, this is a welcoming space to connect and reflect together. Happy Easter Everyone!

A G'day to all! I hope you're well. How does a laid-back afternoon sound by the Yarra River? Lunch, good company, and a nice view. The meeting place: outside the National Gallery of Victoria on St Kilda Road. To find me, I'll have a balloon in my hand, looking sheepish, but noticeable. From there, Southbank food court, a short walk. The plan: have lunch, chat, and get to know each other. It's a great spot, with people walking by, and of course the river. Then, if we decide to, the Botanic Gardens for a walk, and a cafe by a lake. The easiest way to get there is to take a tram to the Shrine of Remembrance, and then walk. The gardens are lovely and worth exploring. One more thing. The end time for this event is negotiable, meaning it is up to the group, and what we want. That is all, other than to say, I hope to see you there. Have a great day! Harry :)

Queer & Neurodiverse aims to offer a variety of social events for people of all genders, sexualities and ages (18+). We would like to provide opportunities for people to form meaningful connections in the real world. Whether you're a social butterfly, or a bit of a wallflower, we hope to create a pressure free space where you can just be yourself. Please join us for a relaxed social picnic at Footscray Park with some fellow queer and neurodiverse pals! Bring some food for yourself, or something to share, and a blanket/chair. Your hosts, Ben & Hamish, are both experienced mental health professionals who live with neurodiversity. We are both passionate about providing inclusive, friendly, and accessible spaces within our community. Discrimination, bullying, and harassment will not be tolerated. This event is support worker friendly and free of charge.

Join us for an ECK Light & Sound Service exploring the topic: **Getting Inner Answers the Easy Way** This service is especially for any *young adult* between the ages of *18*-*40*. You will have a chance to discover more about yourself as Soul, an eternal, creative, spiritual being - living in a world of apparent limitations. Connect with the most sacred part of yourself, receive new insights, and learn ways to create opportunities to magnify love in your life through inner realisations and expanded awareness. Experience the sacred sound of HU, which can open your heart to divine love, healing, and inner guidance. Join us for an engaging blend of insightful stories, uplifting creative arts and contemplative exercises to have your own experience of the spiritual Light and Sound. (Open to all ages) You are invited to stay for refreshments and fellowship after the service.

A gentle space to slow down and connect — Soulful Sundays is about real conversations, shared presence, and meaningful human connection. We meet in person for heart-to-heart conversations in a welcoming, respectful environment. This group is for those who value sincerity, depth, and mutual support. Conversations often explore life, purpose, growth, and the human experience — grounded, open, and real. If you’re looking to build authentic, lasting connections with like-minded people, you’re warmly welcome. Treasury Gardens, **Address:** 2-18 Wellington Parade, East Melbourne VIC 3002 **Where we meet: Robert Burns statue** (most common landmark)

Sleep in on Sundays. When you've had your fill of pajama-time, roll out and have some tasty brunch with your fellow Humanists!

**Complex Trauma Support Group** Our group is intended for survivors of complex trauma. If you are here, it’s likely that so much of who you are and what you have experienced in this life is actually invisible to most people––to family, society, coworkers, and the people who are around you. We are a peer-led group of survivors creating opportunities for ourselves and others to share our experiences, share support, and build relationships in kind community together. Survivor experiences might include: child sexual abuse, incest, child trafficking, and other experiences of people living with traumatic dissociation and complex PTSD. **What to expect at your first meeting:** Currently, we are offering a bi-monthly in person group at 2:00pm on the first and third Sunday of the month. The only criterion for joining the group is that you are a survivor of trauma wishing to have more kindness in your own life and share kindness with others, and that you agree to practice to group’s relational agreements available for view here: https://www.kindgroups.com/agreements. Joining the group is free of charge. We ask that new people connect with us for 30 minutes on the phone or on zoom before coming to their first group, so that we can determine together that we are a good fit. Our meetings last approximately 90 minutes. Participants are never required to share. You’re also welcome to choose a pseudonym and you will never be asked for private information. You are welcome to leave at any time. The kindness that survivors can share when among others who have survived similar childhood experiences is something we rarely get to experience. Time spent with others who understand even a little bit more about us is a relief. Our hope is to help ourselves and others experience that we are not alone. We wish for our efforts to be a cause of kindness in our own lives and the lives of each other. You can read more about the groups at www.kindgroups.com.

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games! The idea behind improv is to create entire scenes from scratch based on a suggestion from the audience. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway*, *ComedySportz*, or *Wild 'n Out*; it could also be done to tell stories, like *Middleditch and Schwartz*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!
