Freeda — A Community Creative Space
## 🌿 **Important: Please read before RSVPing**
**Freeda — A Community Creative Space** returns as a welcoming, donation-based space to **slow down, create freely, and reconnect** — with yourself and with others.
✨ **Bookings must be completed through Humanitix.**
Please note: **RSVPing on Meetup does not reserve your place**, as spaces are limited.
🎟 **Please secure your place here:**
[https://events.humanitix.com/copy-of-freeda-open-art-studio?_gl=1*1fycmmo*_gcl_au*MTU5MTM1NTUwNS4xNzc3MDAzMjkx*_ga*MTA5NjU5OTgwMi4xNzQ4MjM4Mzc0*_ga_LHKW5FR9N6*czE3Nzg5NzczMzEkbzQwJGcxJHQxNzc4OTgwMjY1JGo0JGwwJGgw](https://events.humanitix.com/copy-of-freeda-open-art-studio?_gl=1*1fycmmo*_gcl_au*MTU5MTM1NTUwNS4xNzc3MDAzMjkx*_ga*MTA5NjU5OTgwMi4xNzQ4MjM4Mzc0*_ga_LHKW5FR9N6*czE3Nzg5NzczMzEkbzQwJGcxJHQxNzc4OTgwMjY1JGo0JGwwJGgw)
Freeda offers a calm, pressure-free environment where **creativity, connection, and belonging** can be explored at your own pace.
This experience is inspired by the natural human need to **create, play, and connect.** Through simple, open-ended creative invitations, you're encouraged to explore art in a way that feels supportive and personal.
**No art experience is needed.**
**All materials are provided.**
**Gentle guidance is available** if you need a starting point.
There is **no right or wrong way** to take part, and **no expectation** to create something finished or “good.”
You’re welcome to move at your own pace — making art, experimenting quietly, observing, or simply **being present.**
**Freeda is not art therapy.** Rather, it is a community creative experience that values **process over product, freedom over perfection, and connection over comparison.**
**Come exactly as you are** — curious, tired, uncertain, creative, or simply in need of a slower moment.
Everyone is welcome 🌿
Local Catch-Up | Mitcham
Come along for a relaxed local catch-up at the Mitcham Hotel Sports Bar.
Meet new people, have a chat, and enjoy a drink or coffee.
New people always welcome.
I’ll have a bike helmet on the table so people can find the group.
Please RSVP if attending so we know who to expect.
🎨 Street Art Photo Walk & Conversation - Melb CBD
Join us for a relaxed street art walk through Melbourne's CBD, exploring laneways, murals, and hidden creative spots while enjoying easy, natural conversation along the way.
If you love photography, bring your camera or smart phone (charged) to snap some fun photos along the way. We often pose in front of our fave artworks. Be prepared to be silly with me 🤪… (optional of course)
This event is about moving at a comfortable pace, noticing what’s around us, and letting conversation unfold organically as we walk. There’s no need for art knowledge - curiosity is more than enough.
The walk has a **light structure to help things flow**, but nothing rigid. You’re welcome to chat as much or as little as you like and enjoy the experience in your own way.
After the walk, there are options to go for some Haigh's chocolate, or an afternoon dumplings snack, or play games at KingPin - talk to the people as we walk and see who might like to join you afterwards (completely optional).
This event is best suited to adults **approx. 25–50 who are young-at-heart** and enjoy exploring the city, being outdoors, and connecting through shared experiences. Strict age limit = 18+
Recommendation: Download the "Street Art Cities" app which we will use to hunt down the art.

Shut Up & Write!™ Easton Town Center
We'll meet at The Capital One Café, 167 Easton Town Center, Space A-103. This is in the main mall where the Microsoft store used to be, on your left if you're standing at the bottom of the AMC Theater escalator.
Join us on Saturday for an hour of uninterrupted wordmaking!
• What we'll do
Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 10AM on Saturday mornings.
Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done.
SCHEDULE:
10:00 - SESSION 1: quick intros.
10:10 - timer starts: write for 1 hour.
11:10 - chat / take off / keep writing.
OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 11A-11:30ish. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing.
BEING LATE IS OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check-in with me after the session. (I’ll be the person with the Shut Up & Write! sign.) If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer.
Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you!
• What to bring
Whatever you need to be able to write!
Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block noise or the occasional conversation by other patrons. Electrical outlets are limited, so charge your devices before whenever possible.
See you at The Café on Saturday!
