Meet friends and make some new ones while enjoying a lovely Lunch. Each participant will cover their own food and drink costs. **There is a non-refundable / non-transferable $5.00 cover fee** to attend this group event. This charge will reserve your spot, help with group costs and hopefully minimize no shows. **Payment of the $5 cover charge is due by FRIDAY, MAY 15th, 2026.** After this date, non payment of the cover fee will result in the Member's name being moved to the "not going" list so that those "waitlisted" have an opportunity to attend the Lunch. In consideration of others, if you are not able to attend, please advise 48 hours prior to the event to allow other people on the waitlist to have your spot. No shows and less than 48 hours notice of non-attendance will be noted. 2 or more such occurrences will unfortunately lead to removal from the group. Thank you all for your understanding and consideration. Looking forward to connecting soon! Here are the details for the $5.00 e-transfer - E-mail - [weekendbrunchover50@hotmail.com](http://weekendbrunchover50@hotmail.com/), Security Question - What is the time of the event? **Twelve** Hope to see you there!

**I am introducing outdoor Soulful Chapters gatherings this season — and this will be our first one. 🌿** With our outdoor gatherings, we’re able to open up a few additional spots while still keeping the circle intimate and meaningful. **You don’t need more motivation — you need a next step.** It’s easy to wait until we feel ready. But real change doesn’t come from waiting — it comes from taking action, even when it feels small. This gathering is about shifting out of overthinking…and into forward movement. Together, we’ll explore: • What next chapter you’re ready to step into • What may be keeping you stuck or hesitating • And the one small, intentional action you can take to move forward Whether it’s: • Opening yourself to a new relationship • Making a change in your career • Reclaiming your time, energy, or voice This is about starting — not perfecting. Bring a foldable chair or blanket, dress comfortably, and come as you are. **If weather doesn’t cooperate, we’ll move to a nearby café and continue our conversation there.** 💜 A supportive space for women ready to stop waiting — and start moving forward, one step at a time.

Let’s do some coding together at a cafe! No more working alone in the weekend. Here, we write code together. And I mean together together. Not occupying-the-same-space-but-separate together. Here’s how it works: Jennifer brings her mobile app project, tells everyone that it is like Pinterest for recipes and she’d like to work on the nav bar. Paul and Chloe think Jennifer's project is fascinating, and they join the group. They gather around Jennifer’s laptop and work on the nav bar for 2 hours. Jennifer is the one typing out the code while Paul and Chloe research, brainstorm, and offer suggestions. If you’re feeling stuck on your own project or need a motivation boost, bring it to mob programming! Want to learn by watching how others code and solve problems? Join someone else’s project at this event! Oh and we love your half-done projects that you are a bit embarrassed to share. Absolutely bring those to the event! **Discord**: We use Discord to share screen & code snippets during the event. Also feel free to share your projects here before the event! https://discord.gg/xwjDdVSw3E **Event policy**: * We have 0 tolerance for harassment. * We don’t allow the projects that are not meant to be shared in public such as school assignments, interview tasks, or trade secrets. * The goal is to write code. We discourage you from pitching business ideas here, doing code reviews, or spending the whole event on planning what to do. * Please buy a drink, and tip the barista well.

Please note: this is an invitation to experience group workshops and private feminine embodiment coaching. To learn more please contact Amanda Clarke at lusciousfeminine@gmail.com. Feminine Embodiment Women's Circles & Coaching https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/c/2/f/0/600_460789904.jpeg There is a cosmic shift happening on the planet and women are tired of playing second fiddle in this game of life. Playing small not only keeps you from manifesting what you truly want, but it also holds you back from living out your divine purpose. I’ve been there, stuck, held back, and yearning to break-free and frankly being in that place plain 'ol sucks! What if you could step-up and make a difference; a meaningful contribution in this world by just being you? How might the landscape of your life look? Over for the past six years, I’ve worked with women who are looking to break out of the spell of smallness. It pangs me to see women depressed, depleted, disconnected and downright insecure. One of the reasons many of my clients rave about the work we do together is because I provide immediate results. What I teach is inherent within you but there are layers of gunk bogging you down from accessing this wisdom. Spinning your wheels, and living a life of lack is no way to live, beautiful. You are so much more! What can you expect from our sessions together: • A solid understanding of what feminine energy is, and how to use it to have your way with the world • Develop a physical and energetic presence that attracts what you want: personally and professionally. • Feel more comfortable with your sensuality, and with receiving positive attention. • Experience more passion in your life - particularly your love life. • Be more at ease setting clear boundaries with others. • Learn to be in flow rather than always pushing and striving to make things happen. • Look and feel more sexy, confident and radiant • Gain clarity about your life purpose and the greatest gifts you have to offer the world • Establish or strengthen your intuitive guidance Book a FREE 30-minute discovery call to learn how I can help support you on your journey to coming home to yourself as a woman. This means MORE self-love, MORE self-confidence, MORE clarity, MORE empowerment and saying YES to living out your divine mission. For more information on my coaching packages please visit www.lusciousfeminine.com or to book a FREE 30-minute complimentary Discovery Call, email Amanda at lusciousfeminine@gmail.com “Before working with Amanda, I was the dried-out, work-obsessed intellectual. I lived in my head and felt completely severed from the neck-down. I over-intellectualized emotionally-charged situations to avoid being present…I am [now] able to ease my ‘mind-babble’, step into my power as a woman knowing that I am safe and secure within my own space, and practice expressing my needs and desires from a more authentic place… Amanda helped me to be trust in the power of vulnerability, surrender, and acceptance. It has been a pleasurable journey! \~ Stefanie T. Amanda Clarke The Luscious Feminine http://www.lusciousfeminine.com http://www.facebook.com/thelusciousfeminine lusciousfeminine@gmail.com

Exploring Consciousness * *May 23rd - 24th, 2026* * *9:00 am - 6:00 pm* * *In person* * *Halton Hills, ON, Canada* * *Stephen Ng Qui Sang* * *400 CAD (plus HST), approx. $290 USD* The Monroe Institute Exploring Consciousness course provides an opportunity to engage in consciousness exploration, self-discovery, and personal transformation. We introduce you to Focus 10 (a state of body asleep and mind awake) and Focus 12 (a state of expanded awareness). These states enable you to better understand your Total Self and to access your untapped inner resources. Course benefits and experiences (both during the course and afterwards) vary considerably, but participants typically report the following: * Deep physical relaxation * Stress reduction * Deep physical relaxation * Improved sleep * Expanded awareness * Insights regarding issues in life * Access to inner guidance * Enhanced meditations * Enhanced intuition and creativity * Mental calm and clarity * More energy for daily life * Effective problem solving * Physical and emotional healing * Release of fears and limiting beliefs * Enhanced concentration and learning * Greater synchronicity in daily life * Greater knowing of the total self Although not as common, some participants report communication with deceased loved ones, out-of-body experiences (OBEs), and various mystical experiences. You will return home with the experience, knowledge, and skills you need to access and benefit from these expanded states on your own without Hemi-Sync®. Course instructions, course book, sound equipment, mattresses and food are all included. Here is some feedback we received from the last course: * "Stephen is an extremely knowledgeable, experienced, and a wonderful guide. He led the course with utmost compassion and patience. With his vast experience, he shares a lot of anecdotes which become helpful tools in strengthening the understanding of this course. I highly recommend the course and Stephen’s teaching to everyone, irrespective of having a spiritual inclination or not." - SM * "Stephen is conscientious and passionate in ensuring the students gain as much as they can during the program. As the student, I felt his enthusiasm and his deep experience and wisdom of exploring consciousness. And because of that I benefited so much. Thank you, Stephen." - TS * "This course was an excellent resource to help me restart and reboot by consciousness self exploration journey. Stephen was extremely personable and an excellent teacher. The in person group setting generated many great conversations and helpful practice techniques in astral projection, OBEs, and accessing Focus 10 and 12 easily. Honestly, I loves this and I would definitely recommend it to anyone new to this, getting back into it, or those already seasoned. Thank you Stephen, Linda and the lovely group for an amazing setting and experience." - NM * "I thoroughly enjoyed the two days I spent with Stephen, his wife Linda, and fellow classmates for the Exploring Consciousness course, which was an excellent introduction to the topic of states of consciousness and out of body experiences. Stephen explained the concepts well, answered all of our questions, and provided real life examples from his personal experiences and from the experiences of his various mentors and students. I liked the setup for the meditations, which included air mattresses and state of the art headphones. The refreshments and lunches offered were delicious and nutritious, and many dietary options were available, including vegan and gluten free. On our lunch breaks we were able to go for walks on their beautiful and peaceful property and over lunch we shared stories and got to know one another." - CC Register at [Exploring Consciousness - EC course](https://exploringconsciousness.ca/ExploringConsciousness)
