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!
Thereās 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.
šæ**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.
š¤**CONNECTION ACTIVITY**
During the walk, youāll be invited to participate in structured conversations with different partners as we rotate every 15ish minutes.
Weāll 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.
š**NEW HERE?**
Welcome! Find Your Tribe Melbourne is a community mostly around 25-40s who are passionate about connection, purpose, and personal development. Weāre open-minded, respectful, and always excited to welcome new faces. Whether you come solo or with a friend, weāll make sure you feel included and supported.
Pushing outside your comfort zone can be toughābut it's where growth and friendship begin. š±

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:
ā Feel more connected, to themselves & to others.
ā Feel more confidence & higher levels of vitality
ā Feel more in the Orgasmic State
ā Feel more comfortable with their body & self expression
ā Cultivate greater focus & capacity for attention
ā 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 thereās 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:
ā An introductory to OM philosophy - a way to live in flow state, fueled by desire and in connection.
ā The difference between climax and orgasm
ā An understanding of what is required for the body to enter into The Orgasmic State
ā Techniques to move your attention from your head to your body
ā Skills to increase sensation in your body ā Female anatomy and how to find "the spot"
ā The Steps to OM
ā Stroking technique
ā 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.

"Not Really a Cyclist" small urban bike adventure 5km or so.
**š² Eat, Drink & Dance Melbourne: The āNotāReallyāaāCyclistā Bike Adventure**!
A superāchill trial ride for absolute beginners, wobbly riders & the bikeācurious. Give yourself and hour or two to go from wobbly to having a quick ride around some of Melbourne!
For people without a bike try the city based bike hire company[Blue Tongue Bikes (Rental and Tours)](https://bluetonguebikes.com.au/)
Or bring your own.
Ready to see Melbourne from a whole new angleāthe bike seat angleāwithout needing Lycra, fitness, or any idea what ācadenceā means? This playful warmāup ride is designed especially for people who donāt ride bikes⦠but like the idea of cruising, chatting, laughing, and discovering the city at a very easy pace.
Think of it as:
Eat. Drink. Dance. Pedal (gently).
**š Where We Begin**
Weāll meet at Blue Tongue Bikes, Batman Park (King St & Flinders Lane).
If you donāt have a bikeāno worries! You can hire one there for a few hours, or grab an eābike from other spots around the city.
If you need to hire a bike please get there 30 to 60 minutes beforehand to iron out all the hiring details with the shop or hire a bike the day before if you go elsewhere.
Just make sure youāve had a little practice beforehand so youāre not learning from scratch on the day (unless you enjoy chaos, in which case⦠bold choice).
š **What Weāre Doing**
This is a 5 km-ish practice loop around Fishermans Bend, a flat, friendly circuit perfect for building confidence. Weāll roll back into Batman Park at the endāsmiling, slightly sweaty, and feeling very Melbourne.
If the group is feeling good, we might extend the adventure toward St Kilda or nearby paths. Totally optional, totally vibeādependent.
š** **Why Weāre Doing It****
This is the warmāup for a bigger 30+ km Capital City Trail ride happening about a week later. Think of this as the āfirst dateā before the āproper date.ā
**š** Who Itās For****
- New riders
- Nervous riders
- Social riders
- People who havenāt touched a bike since primary school
- People who want to see Melbourneās gorgeous bike paths without pressure
- People who want to meet fun humans and enjoy the city in a new way
š **What to Bring**
- A helmet (nonānegotiable)
- Water
- A sprinkle of roadārule awareness (weāll mostly stick to bike paths)
- Your best āIāmightāfallāover-but-Iāmāstillāhaving-funā attitude
Good idea to bring a lock for the bike
**š Pace & Vibe**
Super easy. Super social. Zero ego.
If youāre a bit clutzy, thatās fineāweāve all been there. Weāll help you out, cheer you on, and keep things relaxed.

Free in-person event: Take Control of Your Mental Health
Itās time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself.
Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went?
Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you arenāt aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence?
Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, youāll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.
Curating Confidence: Crafting Your Vision for the Year Ahead
Step into 2026 with intention, clarity, and a creative practice designed to help you see yourself more clearly. In this special Confidence Lab session, weāll explore confidence as something you can curate - through the choices you make, the qualities you amplify, and the story you choose to step into.
Weāll start with a short guided reflection to surface the traits, habits, and energies you want to nurture in the coming year. Then, using collage materials selected specifically for this workshop, youāll translate those insights into a visual composition that represents the version of yourself youāre ready to grow toward.
This isnāt about resolutions or perfection. Itās about crafting a grounded, imaginative vision of your next chapter - one that feels honest, energizing, and fully yours.
All materials are provided. Just bring yourself (and a friend) and a willingness to explore what confidence can look like for you in 2026.
**Featured Partner: Columbus Collage Collective**
The Columbus Collage Collective was started in August of 2023 by Emily Morgan (aka Lovely But Dead) and Douglas Cuckler (aka Wonder Doug) as a place for collage enthusiasts to gather and create art together. The collective has since become a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with the mission to hold free or low-cost collage events across central Ohio. The CCC welcomes all artists of all backgrounds and skill levels and encourages folks to take this time to step away from everyday existence and create art with people who share a love for this dynamic art form.
All materialsāmagazines, scissors, craft knives, glue, paper, cardboard, and moreāare provided, so there's no need to bring anything at all (though you're welcome to bring a friend or a favorite tool if you'd like!). We also encourage folks to take home magazines and materials from our events to support continued creativity!

**What is Confidence Lab?**
Confidence Lab is a monthly community experience for bold, thoughtful leaders building confidence from the inside out. Whether youāre launching a business, leading a team, navigating change, or simply striving to show up more fullyāyou belong here.
Our work demands clarity, courage, and convictionābut the pace of daily life can erode our sense of self. Confidence Lab creates space to reflect, reconnect, and grow with others doing purpose-driven work.
Itās designed for entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, creatives, corporate professionals, activists, and anyone ready to lead with authenticity and impact.
