Gratitude for Healing Pain
*‘Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn’t learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn’t learn a little, at least we didn’t get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn’t die, so let us all be thankful.’*
**Buddha**
We experience pain in life but we are also given bad advice to forget about it.
We are told time will heal. Well what if we understood how to heal ourselves by knowing the potential of gratitude? Can we do an alchemical conversion of our emotions back into joy?
Based on her own book - ***The Alchemy of Gratitude,*** Amruta will take us through the ways we can find healing through energy transformation.
**Amruta Joshi** is a Gratitude Coach and a Meditation teacher.
She started Gratitude for Earth with her husband in 2020 during covid to help spread the awareness of gratitude as a mental health self-help tool. They conducted sessions on Meetups and in communities. They saw how instantly people's faces were lifted up by this simple practice. It led them to deep dive and create a whole community out of this.
Inspiration drawn from so many people led to Amruta writing her very first book - The Alchemy of Gratitude which was published in June last year. The book contains simple techniques for a daily habit of gratitude along with the alchemical process of transforming our lower emotions into higher joy.

### AN ELEGANT NIGHT FOR PEOPLE WHO STILL BELIEVE IN REAL CONNECTION
Some nights feel different the moment you walk in.
The lighting.
The energy.
The conversations that don’t feel forced.
After an incredible response and a sold-out March event, KISMETRIX returns to Valhalla — one of Melbourne’s most beautifully hidden underground cocktail bars — for another refined evening designed for genuine connection.
No interviews across tiny tables.
No chaotic nightclub energy.
No pressure to perform.
Just attractive, grounded people meeting naturally in a space designed for conversation, chemistry, and presence.
This is for those who miss the feeling of meeting someone properly.

Readings in Applied Theosophy
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.
Pure Consciousness Revealed: Nirvana Shatakam Workshop
**Nirvana Shatakam – Shankara's Six Verses on Freedom**
Most spiritual paths tell you to become something. This teaching does the opposite.
Through six ancient verses by Adi Shankara, you discover who you are by removing what you're NOT – the body, mind, and roles you play. What remains is your limitless nature that was always here.
Over seven months, we'll unpack these verses line by line, transforming how you see yourself and your life.
**What You'll Learn**
* How you mistake yourself for body, mind, emotions, and roles
* Why self-knowledge differs from self-improvement
* Why you've never actually been bound – and what keeps that recognition hidden
* What it means to recognise yourself as the sought, not the seeker
**About the Teacher**
Andre Vas teaches Vedanta full-time under the Swami Dayananda (Arsha Vidya) lineage. As a former business owner, he relates deeply to householders juggling work, family, and inner growth. Known for making knowledge stick through lived experience, not just concepts.
**Who This Is For**
No prior background needed. For anyone noticing that acquiring more, achieving more, or becoming better doesn't stick. For those with burning curiosity and a hunger to know, understand, and live this wisdom. **I'll set up group discussions also to help us make new friends.**
**When & Where**
📅 2:00-4:00pm Melbourne time
📍 3 Anjaya Court, Blackburn, Melbourne
**More info: [YesVedanta.com/nirvana](https://YesVedanta.com/nirvana)**

Sunday Meditation | Community Building | Connection | Meet New People
**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? Bring a friend (or two!) and let’s connect.**
**What’s on the evening’s flow?**
* **Open meet & greet** – connect and settle in
* **5 min guided meditation** to land into the space and connect within

Magic Mind & Peak Consciousness: Cultivating Psychic Abilities - Dr Alex de Foe
**What if psychical abilities (psi) can be cultivated in earlier life?**
What are the implications for modern society and our perception of the world? A new theory based on entropy and perception may hold the answers...
After 70+ years of controlled studies into psychical phenomena, scholars still lack a cohesive theory of what makes them possible....
**In this presentation, Dr Alex De Foe** draws on his 15+ years of research to model psi as an emergent lifespan experience - understanding it in relation to neural development and entropy, experiences often reported by children. Drawing upon the "free energy model" in perception and social neuroscience, Alex will make the case for cultivation of psi in pivotal states of consciousness.
Part 2 will focus on experiential analysis to support the argument, including case studies and a short practice task called 'Image Streaming' that engages aspects of the mind at the periphery of experience.
**Image Streaming** is a technique that bridges the divide between the conscious, unconscious, and super-conscious mind, related to Michael Thalbourne's concept of 'transliminality', in which material flows between these dimensions of mind seamlessly.
**Case studies will be presented from:**
* Research into out-of-body experiences (OBEs) and lucid dreams
* A new theory on archetypes and the collective unconscious
* Speculative accounts at the bridge between spiritual emergence and spiritual 'emergency'
**About Dr. Alexander De Foe (PhD, M Couns):**
* Academic at Monash University (2021-2026).
* Runs a research program on mindfulness/consciousness
* At RMIT University (2016-2021), he managed a virtual reality lab focusing on embodied cognition and social neuroscience.
* Published over 30 peer-reviewed studies/papers on consciousness, perception, and general psychology.
* Chair of the Australian Centre for Consciousness Studies
* Committee Member of the Australian Institute of Parapsychological Research
* Associate Editor at the Anthropology of Consciousness Journal.
**Post-Event Social Lunch Hangout (12.45 - 1.45pm)**
NOTE: TRYING OUT NEW LUNCH VENUE...
Afterwards, you are invited to lunch with everyone at **Gopal's Restaurant** (5min walk from the venue)

What is Art For? On Emotion, Aesthetics and Creativity
A painting that brings a person to tears. A banana worth 6.4 million dollars. A photograph ending a war. What is behind these phenomena? Please join us this Sunday to discuss the Philosophy of Art, where it comes from, what makes it powerful and why it is a universal across time and cultures.
We will meet at the Captain Melville at 2pm for a 2:15pm start sharp. **Please note the new $5 mandatory donation entry fee** (cash or transfer on day) to help with MeetUp subscription costs, venue costs, etc.
There is no pre-requisite preparation necessary, nor a philosophical background, all that is required is a curious mind. These discussions are both a Socrates Cafe style discussion and lively metaphysical dojo, in the spirit of learning and friendly debate, so please feel free to challenge assumptions and be prepared to have your own assumptions challenged.
This event is also posted to the Philosophy Circle group.
We will explore the topic through a range of questions, including:
**What is Art?**
* What comes to mind when we use the word ‘Art’? What are the categories of objects or activities that you would consider to be art?
* Which of these are art?: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/1_1nl2_GKbGzzSbXsRRsnAZlkmNVqWPjm
**Emotion**
* Is art a luxury or necessity in life? Is it essential to happiness?
* Why is art so effective at making us feel powerful emotions, even when we know it doesn’t represent reality? Are these ‘true’ emotions, or somehow different / simulated?
* Why do we sometimes seek our art that makes us feel sad?
**Objectivity**
* Is there such a thing as objectively bad art?
* Are there intrinsic properties that make something aesthetic (beautiful)? Are they universal?
* Are there objective standards of ‘taste’? Can one person be said to have better taste than another? If so, on what basis or criteria?
**Value**
* What gives art its value? Why do we consider replicas differently? Is naturally occurring beauty different to art?
* What compels humans towards art? Is there an evolutionary / biological explanation for the seemingly wasteful expenditure of resources on outputs that have no practical function?
**Creativity**
* Are only humans able to appreciate art?
* Are only humans creative?
* Is there such a thing as something truly new, or is every idea or expression a recombination of existing inputs into a different configuration of outputs?
* Can a machine be creative? If not, what is the constraint?
* Could we ever regard AI-creativity in the same way as that of a human?
Hope to see you there!

Stalker
Based on the novel Roadside Picnic, it is NO picnic, but rather one of the masterpieces of world cinema. Andrei Tarkovsky's 1979 Soviet sci-fi classic, recounts the expedition of a writer and professor led by a mysterious guide called "The Stalker." to a futuristic wasteland called "The Zone." Dripping with existential dread, it continually presents strange occurrences that will have us debating the meaning of what we've just viewed right through the ending.
*Stalker* (1979) can be streamed for free on HBOMax, the Criterion Channel or Kanopy. It's also available for rent on Amazon Prime and AppleTV. The Columbus Library has two copies on disc.
