What we’re about
We are a REAL community. We have a couple of fantastic full-time members which help moderate and ensure events are focused on GIVING and contributing. Lots of members create events, and we actually have 3 or so regular WEEKLY virtual events, a yearly training in Bali, weekly Breathwork on CastleHill, and the possibility for much more!
I started this while living between Shanghai and Townsville but we now have meetups in 9 cities. This means you can really meet some like-minded people and if anyone is to selfish or annoying its easy for us to boot them out. Basically, if you want a community that enjoys helping each other thrive, you are in the right place!
How do we thrive? By having a lot of collaborative events such as:
* A weekly virtual workshop by a coaches/speakers/leaders on topics around spiritual, personal or professional development.
* A weekly virtual workshop by Valentine on using AI
* Monday Coaching Practice by Darko
* Tuesday Breathwork with Ben
* Wednesday Advanced Coaching & New Code NLP by Adrian
**We also host a yearly Coach and NLP training in Bali** (February 2024 is the next)

📅Join us on September 28, 2025, Sunday, for a MOTIVATE Community special session titled: "The Importance of Brain Health" with Karishma Valliappan, MSc Neuroscience—a dynamic Brain and Mental Health Coach and founder of MindTalks.
💡Your brain is the command centre of your entire life. It controls how you think, feel, move, and connect with others. Just like we care for our heart or our skin, your brain also needs daily attention to stay sharp, balanced, and strong—especially in today’s fast-paced, high-stress world.
Brain health isn’t just about avoiding disease. It’s about thriving—having better focus at work, managing emotions with ease, sleeping well, remembering what matters, and living with purpose. When your brain is healthy, your entire life works better.
⏳ In this 90-minute session, we’ll explore what brain health really means, how daily habits impact it, and simple science-backed ways to
take care of the most powerful organ in your body.
🎁Key Points/Takeaways for the Audience:
👉 Your Brain Affects Everything – From focus and memory to mood and relationships, your brain is the engine behind your daily life. A healthy brain means a better you.
👉 Small Habits = Big Impact – Simple daily actions like good sleep, movement, mindfulness, and nutrition can significantly boost your brain health and overall well-being.
🎯Additional Key Points/Takeaways/Benefits:
✅ A well-functioning brain promotes deeper, more restorative sleep—while sleep, in turn, strengthens brain function.
✅ Brain-healthy habits improve your ability to adapt to challenges, bounce back from setbacks, and stay grounded during change.
