A calm, intimate space to pause, reflect, and release what you’ve been holding — no pressure, just space to breathe. ### ✨ KISMETRIX \| True Connection [Ticketed Event](https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/apr-22nd-healing-circle-fire-ritual-pause-reflect-release-tickets-1985990411783?utm-campaign=social&utm-content=attendeeshare&utm-medium=discovery&utm-term=listing&utm-source=cp&aff=ebdsshcopyurl) **Healing Circle & Fire Ritual** Pause. Reflect. Release. 📍 RYVE Level 1, 38 Shafton St, Huntingdale VIC 📅 Wednesday, 22 April 2026 🕖 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM ## A SPACE TO PAUSE Life gets heavy sometimes. Not always in obvious ways — but in the quiet things we carry: Unspoken thoughts Emotional weight Stress, heartbreak, uncertainty This evening is a space to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with yourself — gently. ## WHO THIS IS FOR This space is for you if: • You’ve been feeling overwhelmed or mentally full • You’ve been holding things in without space to process • You’re seeking clarity, grounding, or emotional reset • You want something deeper, but not overwhelming You don’t need to be “ready” or have it all figured out. Just come as you are. ## WHAT TO EXPECT A small, supportive and guided experience: • Calm and welcoming environment • Gentle reflection and awareness practices • Optional sharing (no pressure to speak) • Space to simply sit, listen, and be present • A symbolic fire ritual to close the evening ## FIRE RITUAL — LETTING GO You’ll be invited to write down something you’re ready to release. A thought. A feeling. A past story. Through a simple fire ritual, we allow that chapter to shift and move forward. Many people find this moment deeply grounding and freeing. ## SMALL & INTIMATE BY DESIGN This is not a large event. Numbers are intentionally limited to create a space that feels safe, real, and personal. ## ABOUT YOUR HOST Hosted by Vivienne Vu Founder of Kismetrix \| True Connection Vivienne creates spaces that support emotional awareness, presence, and authentic human connection. ## 🔔 IMPORTANT NOTES • This is a reflective group experience (not therapy or medical treatment) • Participation is always optional — you can simply observe • Respect, boundaries, and emotional safety are central to this space • Tickets are limited and kept intentionally small ## WHY PEOPLE COME TO KISMETRIX • Real experiences, not surface-level interactions • Spaces designed with intention and care • A sense of connection — with others and within yourself ### Hosted by KISMETRIX \| True Connection 📧 [social@kismetrix.com.au](https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/apr-22nd-healing-circle-fire-ritual-pause-reflect-release-tickets-1985990411783?aff=ebdsoporgprofile) 🌐 [www.kismetrix.com.au](http://www.kismetrix.com.au/ "http://www.kismetrix.com.au")A

While some are still meeting online, this is an in person event. Please note that we have attendees of all levels of speaking, including some native speakers. All are welcome! Also, as we meet at the same time and place each week, many don’t RSVP on the app, so we will likely have more attendees than noted here. Note: if you are asked to pay and upgrade the Meetup app, this is not necessary. You can ignore this and still attend our meetings. Find us on our [Facebook group](https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1EKw86WJCp/?mibextid=wwXIfr).
