Spirituality

Experience the magic of kirtan in one unforgettable evening. Lose yourself in sound, light, and movement. Enchanting Kirtan is a live sacred-music experience blending ancient mantra, soaring melody, rhythmic grooves, and heart-centred meditation. The music wraps around you in rich, immersive surround sound, carrying every note and vibration through the room like a living wave. Giant floor-to-ceiling visuals wrap the space in colour and movement, while candlelight, soft rugs, and cushions invite you to sink in, stretch out, or move freely. Every detail is designed to draw you fully into the experience—body, heart, and mind. The evening unfolds as a flowing sacred sound journey, moving from gentle breath and stillness into joyful singing and free, natural movement. Some come to sing or dance, others to rest and receive. Feel free to move, sing and dance, riding the waves of transcendental sound. Or simply relax, letting the waves wash over you. Come solo or bring friends and family. Everyone is welcome to step into this beautiful, heart-opening world that leaves you feeling uplifted, connected, and glowing from the inside out. Spaces are limited - book now to be part of this unforgettable evening. **Enchanting Kirtan: Sacred World Music & Meditation Experience** **Friday 1st May 7pm - 9pm** **Darebin Arts Centre: 401 Bell St, Preston** **Free community event \| All welcome \| Donations appreciated** **We're running 3 immersive events in Victoria!

Join Stephen Fiyalko, President of the Melbourne Theosophical Society for meditation, self attunement, study and discussion on the Laws of the Universe. We welcome all to join at 5:30pm for a 30 min Meditation and will begin the discussion group at 6:00pm. For those who prefer to just attend the discussion group you're welcome to arrive at 6pm. An understanding of and action within the Laws through our choices give practical tools for facing, managing and surmounting with confidence the many challenges we face in our daily lives, in society and the world itself. Ignorance of the Laws can leave us adrift to be buffeted and feel overwhelmed by stormy seas. Each week will look at one of the twelve Laws which are principles, not rules, seeking a deeper understanding of that Law, our and their inter-relationship with the other Laws. Discussion will involve sharing stories from our lives which contribute to a growing understanding and confidence in our lives. Each session is free, but donations are welcome.

**Listening within, A gentle forest meditation.** A gentle Saturday morning meditation to help you reconnect with your body, your internal signals, and your own quiet sense of knowing. This session is not about trying to find the “right” answers or figure everything out. It’s about learning how to listen… in a different way. Beneath the noise of thought, the body is always communicating. Through sensation, subtle shifts, and quiet signals, a sense of ease, a pull, a tightening, a softening. This practice is an invitation to slow down enough to notice… and to begin building trust in what you feel. We’ll be lying on the grass in Edinburgh Gardens, surrounded by the soft stillness of the morning. The space will draw on the feeling of being in a forest, where nothing is rushed, nothing is forced, and everything responds naturally to its environment. Just like the body. **Especially supportive if you are feeling:** • Feeling disconnected from your body or inner sense of direction • Overthinking decisions or searching for clarity • Wanting to feel more grounded and present • Learning to trust your intuition in a more embodied way • Ready to move through life with less force and more awareness **This session is designed to help you:** • Reconnect with your body as a place of guidance. • Notice and understand subtle internal signals. • Soften the need to constantly think or analyse. • Build trust in your own intuition. • Feel more steady, grounded, and self-connected. **Session structure** We’ll begin with Yoga Nidra, a guided deep rest practice where you simply lie down and allow the body to settle. Stillness supports the nervous system in softening, while awareness is gently guided through the body to help you shift out of thinking and into sensing. From there, we’ll move into a guided forest-based visual meditation focused on listening within. Through slow, grounded imagery and gentle hypnotic language, you’ll be invited to notice the body’s subtle signals, not to analyse or act on them, but to become familiar with them. This practice is about learning the language of your own body and beginning to trust it. No experience is needed. This session is beginner-friendly and fully guided from start to finish. **When and Where:** 🗓 **Saturday, 2nd May** ⏰ **9:00am – 10:30am** 📍 **Edinburgh Gardens, Fitzroy North** We’ll set up on the grass near the Rotunda. Look for my yoga mat and the large pink sign that says *“Free Guided Meditation.”* **Weather notes.** This is an outdoor session. If the weather turns rainy or unsuitable, I’ll update the event listing beforehand. Please check the Meetup page event before heading out. Melbourne weather can always surprise us. **What to bring:** • Yoga mat or something comfortable to lie on. • A light blanket or jumper. • Eye covering or small pillow (optional). • Water. • Comfortable, warm clothing. **Arriving Late.** Arriving a few minutes early helps you settle in and arrive fully before we begin. If you’re running late, please still join, just slip in quietly when you arrive. You won’t disturb the practice 😊 **Everyone is welcome.** Whether you’re feeling unsure, seeking clarity, or simply wanting a calm and grounded way to reconnect with yourself, this space is for you. 😊✨ I look forward to sharing this morning with you 🌿✨ **Kathy**

In his final presentation on Numerology, Allan Meers takes us on a journey through the 10 energy numbers which form the basis of our psycho-spiritual energy system. Allan’s approach integrates Numerology with the numerical systems of the Chakras, the Enneagram, the Tarot and the Great Rays to provide a holistic approach that assists in answering two key questions: Who am I, and Why am I here? The presentation follows on from previous presentations in May and November 2025 and addresses how the energy of numbers can be used to recognize unhealthy ways of being and doing which limit our ability to connect with the true self. The approach explains how energies can be devalued, disowned and relegated to the shadows, or taken to extremes and adopted as a persona to help us thrive and survive in a challenging world. This presentation will provide an understanding of how we can each move towards a state of energetic health. The starting point for this journey lies in recognizing our current reality and awakening to what it means to become healthy, healed and whole as a spiritual being having a human experience. Much of the presentation is from Allan’s latest book - Living your Numbers – which will be available at the presentation. The session is interactive and designed to provide practical information that can be applied to everyday life.

Quantum physics is now pointing at something the ancient sages already knew: reality is far stranger, and far more intimate, than anything we were taught. What's surprising is that two Indian sages, one in a small Bombay room, one on a sacred hill in Tamil Nadu were pointing at the same thing long before the science caught up. **What You'll Discover:** In this talk you'll discover the exciting discoveries in quantam physics and how they resonate with non duality. It will leave you with a clarity that doesn't depend on a belief system, or next spiritual experience. Just a direct recognition of what has always been here. **Schedule** * Talk by Rajiv followed by open Q&A * Guided Meditation * Spiritual networking. Make friends with others on the spiritual path **About Rajiv** Rajiv dedicated years of his life seeking enlightenment. His pursuit for truth, reality, emptiness and self-discovery took him through the profound depths of mysticism. He meditated 14 hours a day, stayed with monks, lived in the Himalayan caves, learned from wise sages and researched every major spiritual system, including Zen, Non Duality, Yoga, Buddhism etc. Then one momentous morning in 2005, he experienced his first shift into higher states of consciousness, an inner spiritual awakening. This was followed by days of infinite ecstasy and bliss. Finally, the years of seeking culminated and he realised his own true nature. He now shares his deep insights to help seekers progress on the path of awakening & meditation. His approach is secular, based on personal experience. You can read about his spiritual journey here — [https://innerspiritualawakening.com/rajiv-agarwal/my-journey/](https://innerspiritualawakening.com/rajiv-agarwal/my-journey/) **Venue** Kathleen Syme Library 251 Faraday Street, Carlton, VIC We will be in Multipurpose Room 2. We may take some photos to capture the moment. If you prefer not to be photographed, please let the organiser know at any time. This event is free and open to all adult seekers (18+).

Join us every first and third Saturday of the month to learn about Theosophical principles and how we may apply them to our lives. From its inception in 1875, the Theosophical Society encouraged study of the Ageless Wisdom to discover enduring religious Truth and to make Brotherhood a living reality in the world. *“For real Theosophy IS ALTRUISM, and we cannot repeat it too often. It is brotherly love, mutual help, unswerving devotion to Truth.”* HP Blavatsky, Our Cycle and The Next, 1889. *The mission of the Theosophical Society is to serve humanity by cultivating an ever-deepening understanding and realization of the Ageless Wisdom, spiritual Self-transformation and the Unity of all life.* Resolution passed by the General Council of The Theosophical Society in 1924. According to these principles, a theosophic life is not just theoretical, but must also be practical, indeed must be a life of service. Amid the noise and conflict of the modern world, what might be our role, as individuals and as a Theosophical Society? Through a range of books and Theosophical pamphlets, we will look to both exoteric, widespread social principles and to more esoteric, spiritual principles for discussion and guidance.

**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?
