OM Training (Postponed during COVID- Please reach out to register your interest)
https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/3/f/9/b/600_462496283.jpeg ORGASMIC MEDITATION OM is sweeping the world currently because more and more people are becoming awakened to the fact that there is 'more' available when it comes to intimacy and connection in all of our relationships. The Philosophy behind the OM practice is one that we can use as a map in all of our relationships, to develop deeper levels of intimacy, connection and flow. People OM because they desire to: ⚑ Feel more connected, to themselves & to others. ⚑ Feel more confidence & higher levels of vitality ⚑ Feel more in the Orgasmic State ⚑ Feel more comfortable with their body & self expression ⚑ Cultivate greater focus & capacity for attention ⚑ Have more pleasure in their lives The OM practice is simple, specific and repeatable, focusing on the clitoris, the female center of power and pleasure. Every OM is set up the same way so participants can stop thinking and instead follow the feeling, listen to their bodies, and be present. OM Practitioner Training is the perfect way to learn the basics of OM and the philosophy behind the practice, which you can map over any area of your life where there’s connection involved. Once having completed the training you will have access to practitioners world-wide, to continue your OM journey where ever you travel. * OM TRAINING IS FOR BOTH SINGLES AND COUPLES EXPECT FROM TRAINING: ⚑ An introductory to OM philosophy - a way to live in flow state, fueled by desire and in connection. ⚑ The difference between climax and orgasm ⚑ An understanding of what is required for the body to enter into The Orgasmic State ⚑ Techniques to move your attention from your head to your body ⚑ Skills to increase sensation in your body ⚑ Female anatomy and how to find "the spot" ⚑ The Steps to OM ⚑ Stroking technique ⚑ How to ask for what you want, from the voice of your desire HOW IT WORKS: • Sessions 1 & 2: OM Philosophy & The OM Practice 90 minute session. Available in-person or on Skype. • Session 3: Coaching and fine tuning your practice 30 minute session. Available on Skype. Cost $549 *Higher levels of training are available, once having completed this Introductory level of training.

MEDIA coverage of Orgasmic Meditation from around the world: Featured by the Today Show, the New York Times, Deepak Chopra, Tim Ferris’ Four-Hour Body, ABC's Luke Warm Sex, Marie Claire and more, OM has helped thousands of singles & couples to have more connection and intimacy in their lives. https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/3/e/f/c/600_462496124.jpeg "We look forward to showing you a new way to appreciate the breadth & depth of your Orgasm, so you too can have the same.

The Final Monthly Reset: Walk, Reflect, Connect
Instagram: @findyourtribemelb Take a pause from the hustle and join us for **The Monthly Reset** \- a space for driven and ambitious people to reflect on the past month\, set fresh goals\, and connect with other growth\-minded individuals\. This month will be a special edition, focusing on reflecting on 2025! There’s something powerful about sharing your reflections and intentions with other growth-minded individuals. When you're surrounded by people who value progress, purpose, and self-awareness, it creates a natural sounding board for ideas, clarity, and encouragement. These kinds of conversations can help you see things differently, feel more supported, and stay aligned with the goals that truly matter to you. 🌿**MEETING POINT** Let's meet outside Botanic Gardens Visitor Centre at 10.00am. Anyone who would like to grab a coffee can do so, then at 10.15am, we'll take a walk around the Tan. 🤝**CONNECTION ACTIVITY** During the walk, you’ll be invited to participate in structured conversations with different partners as we rotate every 15ish minutes. We’ll provide reflection prompts to guide your discussions on: * What worked well this year * What challenged you or stretched your limits * What you'll be taking with you in 2026 * What success and balance look like for you This is a space to connect authentically, think intentionally, and feel supported by others who care about growth and alignment - both professionally and personally. 👋**NEW HERE?** Welcome! Find Your Tribe Melbourne is a community mostly around 25-40s who are passionate about connection, purpose, and personal development. We’re open-minded, respectful, and always excited to welcome new faces. Whether you come solo or with a friend, we’ll make sure you feel included and supported. Pushing outside your comfort zone can be tough—but it's where growth and friendship begin. 🌱 If you have any questions or just want to say hi before the event, feel free to message me! ⚠️**LIABILITY DISCLAIMER** By attending this event, you acknowledge that you are participating voluntarily and are responsible for your own health, safety, and well-being during the walk and any related activities. *Find Your Tribe Melbourne* and its hosts are not liable for any injury, loss, or damage that may occur.

Soul Reset ..... * REBIRTH AND REALIGNMENT *..... Spiritual Upgrade for 2026
Hi Everyone, I'll be teaming up with fellow magical presenters to offer you Light upgrades, spiritual downloads, release from the old, resets with the new you with a sacred - Rebirth & Realignment 2026: A Soul Reset & Frequency Upgrade Workshop As the year comes to a close, the Universe invites us into its sacred cycle of *completion and renewal* — a time to release everything that no longer serves, shed old patterns, and step boldly into the highest version of who you are becoming. 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. This experience weaves together powerful modalities, guided by three gifted facilitators, creating a multidimensional space of healing, clarity, and expansion. **Highlights of the event:** • *Grounding Meditation & Chakra Activation:* Settle into your body and anchor your energy into the present moment. 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. The evening concludes with a guided protective shielding — an armour of light to keep your energy clear, safe, and uplifted — followed by optional connection time with like-minded souls in a nurturing community space. ***Why This Event Is Special?*** This gathering is intentionally curated as an energetic bridge —a sacred portal guiding you from who you’ve been…into who you are now ready to become. Step into the new year with clarity, ease, and purpose. •Reconnect with your higher self and true potential •Prepare your soul for a refreshed timeline and new beginning This is your moment to shed the old, revive your light, and rise into the highest expression of yourself. ***Perfect For You If…*** •You feel the need to release emotional or energetic heaviness •You want to begin the new year aligned, centred, and empowered •You’re seeking clarity, healing, renewal, or direction •You’re ready to move into your next chapter with intention you’d love to experience multiple healing modalities in one transformative evening. **Ready to step into your next evolution?** Reserve your spot now and begin the new year in a higher vibration. Spaces are limited to maintain an intimate and supportive healing environment. 🔸 *Secure your place today via the below link* [https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/rebirth-realignment-2026-a-soul-reset-frequency-upgrade-into-new-you-tickets-1974761839822?aff=ebdsshsms&utm_share_source=search_android&sg=ffad1c2d4973fc496e9d809e80a7e7aea2792417033c8ac8ec2d91e11a0aca1a5ddaf5e5b5a8868f44310f52d7b64436888cc843c16db3b0c9e52d50119856fc2b48e1c7c7a241aef2145d2e](https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/rebirth-realignment-2026-a-soul-reset-frequency-upgrade-into-new-you-tickets-1974761839822?aff=ebdsshsms&utm_share_source=search_android&sg=ffad1c2d4973fc496e9d809e80a7e7aea2792417033c8ac8ec2d91e11a0aca1a5ddaf5e5b5a8868f44310f52d7b64436888cc843c16db3b0c9e52d50119856fc2b48e1c7c7a241aef2145d2e)
