Voices from across generations and traditions invite us to witness the enduring scars of colonization on lands and peoples, and the healing pathways carried through ancestral wisdom. Entrusted with medicine stories, the film grapples with colonial legacies, intergenerational trauma, and the culture of separation that fragments our lives. The film reveals how modernity severs our connection to nature, each other, and the ancestral realm, while feeding us empty promises of salvation, unlimited consumption and economic growth, and individual happiness. As we are drawn into the intricate web of kinship and honoring the living presence of Mother Earth, we awaken a deeper remembrance. A sacred dance comes to life and we begin to hear the eternal song of Life itself, calling us back to belonging. You can watch the trailer [here](https://theeternalsong.org/).

💛 KISMETRIX \| True Connection 📍 Alfie's Bar, 167 Franklin Street, Melbourne CBD 📅 Saturday, 4 July 2026 🕙 9:30 PM – 11:30 PM 🎟 Early Bird $15 \| Last Release $25 🥂 Includes a welcome drink on arrival Melbourne Singles Social \| Ages 23–33 Let's be honest. Meeting new people as an adult can be surprisingly hard. Most people already have their own friendship groups. Dating apps can feel repetitive. And approaching someone at a bar isn't always easy when you have no idea if they're interested in meeting anyone. That's why we created KISMETRIX. A relaxed Saturday night where everyone is single, most people come solo, and everyone is there for the same reason — to meet new people, have a good time, and see where the conversation leads. No speed dating. No awkward icebreakers. No pressure. Just a fun night out with people who are genuinely open to meeting someone new. Whether you're looking for dating, friendship, new connections, or simply a better way to spend your Saturday night, you'll be surrounded by others doing the same. ## What to Expect 🥂 Welcome drink included on arrival 🍸 Full bar available throughout the evening 🤝 Friendly hosts to help introductions happen naturally 💬 A room full of Melbourne singles aged 23–33 🎶 Great music and a social atmosphere where you can actually have a conversation ✨ A welcoming environment where showing up solo is completely normal ## Who Comes Along? Young professionals, creatives, entrepreneurs, students, and everyday people from across Melbourne. Some are looking for a relationship. Some are newly single. Some just want to meet new people and get off the apps for a night. Most guests arrive on their own, which is exactly what makes these events work. ## Why People Love These Nights Because everyone is open to meeting people. You're not interrupting friendship groups. You're not guessing who's single. And you're not trying to make a dating app profile sound more interesting than it needs to be. Just real people, real conversations, and a genuinely fun night out. ## Important Information • This is a hosted singles social event, not a speed dating event • A welcome drink is included with every ticket • Additional drinks and food are available for purchase at the venue • We aim for a balanced mix of attendees where possible, though numbers may vary • Respect, kindness, and consideration for others are expected at all KISMETRIX events • Tickets are non-refundable but may be transferred to another person KISMETRIX reserves the right to manage attendance and participation, including declining or removing entry where necessary, to ensure a positive and respectful experience for all guests. ## About KISMETRIX KISMETRIX hosts Melbourne singles events designed to help people meet naturally in real life.

**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 * **Sharing circle** (totally optional!) – share your thoughts or simply listen * **20-30 min guided meditation** – for relaxation and deeper connection **Where?** 📍 **250 George St, Fitzroy VIC 3065** Enter through the church gates.
