Embrace your luminous new self and align with your new timeline. ***Rebirth & Realignment 2026*** is a deeply transformative end-of-year spiritual gathering designed to help you realign with your true self, activate your inner light, and prepare your energy field for the new timeline ahead.

From this centred state, your chakras gently open, allowing your system to receive higher frequencies, restore balance, and prepare for deeper healing throughout the evening. *• Group Reiki Healing Session:* exceptionally powerful when individuals with similar resonance gather with a shared intention. In this collective field, each person’s energy amplifies the others, creating a unified vortex of divine support that helps everyone release, revive, and heal on a much deeper level. • *Live Channelling with Collective Guidance and Frequency Activation Codes.* Receive intuitive messages and higher wisdom tailored for the group’s energy. This guidance supports your inner evolution, offering clarity and alignment as you step into the new year. • *Sound Frequency Activation Journey - Pleiadean Channeled* Immerse yourself in a field of healing vibrations as crystal tones and vocal frequencies move through your body. These sound waves gently recalibrate your energetic system, dissolve tension, calm the mind, and elevate your vibration so you can integrate the evening’s healing on a deeper, cellular level. • *Oracle cards* *• Closing Ceremony & Optional Networking* Integrate your experience and anchor the shifts you’ve received by setting clear intentions for your path ahead.

**About the Session -** *Light Within, Light Around.* A warm Christmas morning meditation to help you begin the day with softness, inner brightness, and a sense of gentle companionship, no matter what your Christmas looks like this year. Before the energy, memories, or emotions of the day gather, this hour is a gentle way to settle into your body and connect with a quieter, steadier space inside yourself. This session is especially supportive if you’re spending the day alone, navigating family dynamics, feeling tender or reflective, or simply wanting a moment of warmth and grounding before the day unfolds. We’ll be lying on the grass beneath the Christmas morning sky, allowing nature, breath, and stillness to soothe the nervous system and bring you back to yourself. **This session is designed to help you:** • Feel the warmth of your own inner light. • Anchor into steadiness before a the day. • Let the intensity of the season soften in your body. • Regulate and calm your nervous system. • Feel held, accompanied, and quietly supported by the morning. **We’ll begin with Yoga Nidra,** a guided deep-rest practice where you simply lie down, get comfortable, and allow your body to soften. There is nothing to perform or achieve. Once you’re settled, staying still helps your system drop into deeper rest while I guide your awareness gently through the body, helping the mind unwind and open. **From there, we’ll move into a visual meditation** themed around inner light, the glow within you that warms, steadies, and expands. Through imagery of sunlit warmth, gentle radiance, and a feeling of being held by both inner and outer light, this practice helps release emotional heaviness, invite comfort, and welcome the kind of companionship that comes from within. The experience is deeply soothing and designed for anyone who wants warmth, grounding, and presence on Christmas morning. **No experience is needed,** this session is beginner-friendly and fully guided from start to finish. ***"Nothing can dim the light that shines from within."*** *-Maya Angelou.* **When & Where:** **🗓 Christmas Day - Wednesday 25 December** **⏰ 9:00am - 10:00am** **📍 Edinburgh Gardens, Fitzroy North** We’ll set up on the grass behind 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, I’ll update the event listing beforehand - please check the Meetup page to make sure it’s still going ahead. Christmas mornings are usually calm and sunny, but Melbourne can always surprise us. **What to bring:** • Yoga mat or something to lie on • Light blanket • Eye covering or small pillow for comfort • Water • Comfortable clothing (If you forget a mat, I’ll have spares with me 😊) **Arriving and running late:** Arriving a few minutes early helps you get settled and grounded before we begin. If you’re running late, please still join, just slip in quietly. You won’t disturb the practice 😊. **Everyone is welcome.** Whether you're spending Christmas morning alone, with family, feeling reflective, or simply wanting a moment of calm and warmth, this space is for you. A soft, grounding morning to breathe, rest, and reconnect with the light within you. **I look forward to sharing this Christmas morning with you 🌿✨😊** **Kathy**

**About the Session - A Gentle Reset.** A soft Boxing Day meditation to help you clear, release, and gently reset after Christmas. Boxing Day often carries a quiet emotional weight. After the fullness of Christmas Day, the connection, noise, expectations, and movement, there can be a sense of tiredness, sensitivity, or simply the need to exhale. This session is an invitation to slow everything down and land gently back in your body. Before the pace of the day picks up, take an hour to rest, recalibrate, and create space. We’ll be lying on the grass beneath the open sky, allowing stillness, breath, and nature to help the nervous system unwind. This session is especially supportive if you’re feeling flat, tender, socially depleted, overstimulated, or simply wanting a calm, grounded pause during a busy season. **This Meditation session is designed to help you:** • Soften and settle back into your body. • Release leftover tension from the days before. • Calm and rebalance your nervous system. • Clear emotional and mental residue. • Reset gently, without effort or pressure. **The Meditation Session.** **We’ll begin with Yoga Nidra, a guided deep rest practice where you simply lie down and allow the body to soften.** There is nothing to perform or achieve. Once you’re comfortable, staying mostly still helps the nervous system drop into deeper rest. I’ll guide your awareness slowly through the body so the mind can drift, unwind, and settle. **From there, we’ll move into a** **gentle reset visual meditation**, using cooling, clearing imagery and breath to support release and recalibration. This part of the practice is designed as an emotional exhale, helping you let go of what no longer needs to be carried and return to a sense of steadiness and ease. The practice is fully guided, deeply restorative, and suitable for anyone needing a quiet place to land. No experience is needed. This session is beginner-friendly and supported from start to finish. > “Sometimes the most important thing in a whole day is the rest we take between two deep breaths.” > *Etty Hillesum* **When & Where?** 🗓 **Boxing Day — Thursday 26 December** ⏰ **10:30am – 11:30am** 📍 **Edinburgh Gardens, Fitzroy North** We’ll set up on the grass behind the Rotunda. Look for my yoga mat and a **large pink sign** that says *“Free Guided Meditation.”* ***WEATHER NOTES.*** **This is an outdoor session.** If the weather turns rainy, I’ll cancel the session and update the listing beforehand. Please check the Meetup event on the day to confirm it’s still going ahead. Summer mornings are often lovely, but Melbourne does like to surprise us. **What to bring?** • Yoga mat or something comfortable to lie on • Light blanket • Eye covering or small pillow if you enjoy extra comfort • Water • Comfortable clothing If you forget a mat, I’ll have a few spares on hand 😊 **Running Late.** Arriving a few minutes early helps you settle in, get comfortable, and ease into the space before we begin. If you’re running late, please still come 😊 Just join quietly. You won’t disturb anything. **Everyone is welcome.** Whether you’re spending Boxing Day alone, with family, feeling reflective, or simply needing rest, this space is for you. A gentle pause. A quiet reset. A chance to continue the day with more ease. **I look forward to sharing the morning with you 🌿** **Kathy**

As we prepare to enter a new year, the Burning Bowl Ceremony offers a powerful and heartfelt opportunity to let go of what no longer serves us and make space for new beginnings. You are warmly invited to join us for this sacred and reflective ritual. The Burning Bowl Ceremony is a beloved Unity tradition—an empowering moment where we release old patterns, worries, or limiting beliefs by writing them down and symbolically releasing them into the flame. This act of letting go opens the door to clarity, peace, and transformation.

You are invited to participate in one of Unity’s most meaningful and empowering traditions—the **White Stone Ceremony**. As we enter a new year, this sacred ritual gives you the opportunity to listen within, connect with Spirit, and claim a new name or intention for your life. In ancient times, receiving a white stone symbolized freedom, new identity, and fresh possibility. Today, we continue that tradition by holding a smooth white stone, entering a quiet meditation, and allowing Spirit to reveal a word, name, or message that reflects who you are becoming.

**Women of Truth Circle** is a sacred space where women come together to grow spiritually, share authentically, and support one another in living from truth and love.

The circle is rooted in Unity principles and honors each woman’s personal path to spiritual awakening.
