Emphasis is placed on aligning yourself to the potential of your Awareness / True Nature and embracing your humanness with acceptance and compassion.

Those who come regularly achieve emotional healing, balance, and increasing self-awareness and self-mastery. After the meditation, I give some guidance on self-awareness and facilitate discussion around the various topics that arise. If you are wanting to go deeper, I am here to help you journey deeper into self-realisation and empowerment in the pursuit of enlightenment and maximising your potential.

Heroes vs Villains: Annual Dance Showcase 2026

Rivervale Meditation Class

Don’t miss out on these free, casual meditation classes! The meditation classes cater for people of all experience levels and are run in a relaxed environment. No stretches or physical exercises are involved in learning this simple yet effective technique. **Effortless Meditation** The word ‘Sahaja’ can be translated as ‘Spontaneous’ or ‘Simple’, and is at the outset a hypothesis that meditation can come easily for those who are willing to practice regularly (even briefly each day). Sahaja Yoga defines meditation as ‘thoughtless awareness’, a state where you are completely conscious but at the same time completely without thought. In this state, we gain a unique perspective and insight into the beauty of our own innate nature. Physical and mental health benefits have also been attributed to regular meditation practice through comprehensive Australian research (Learn more in the book ‘silence your mind’ or at www.beyondthemind.com). Sahaja Yoga meditation was founded by HH Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi in 1970, and is based on kundalini awakening. Shri Mataji felt that meditation is an essential part of our spiritual growth. She felt that because meditation is so essential, a free and simple method to achieve it must be made available for everyone. Sahaja Yoga is now practiced in over 52 countries worldwide.

The Key To Making Money - Free Talk

Why do we find it hard to make money, while others are flourishing and prospering? Is it just that some were born lucky? No. Do some people just have a natural talent? No. It comes down to the art of communication. One's ability to communicate will determine how successful one will be, not only in business, but life as a whole. We will be covering different avenues of communication, and what you can do to bring change to your life. ------- The talk will go for roughly 45 mins, give or take. We will then proceed to do a Personality Test which will really break down what areas in your life you are lacking in, and can then get the appropriate tools to assist you.

Bassendean Meditation Class

Don’t miss out on these free, casual meditation classes! The meditation classes cater for people of all experience levels and are run in a relaxed environment. No stretches or physical exercises are involved in learning this simple yet effective technique. **Effortless Meditation** The word ‘Sahaja’ can be translated as ‘Spontaneous’ or ‘Simple’, and is at the outset a hypothesis that meditation can come easily for those who are willing to practice regularly (even briefly each day). Sahaja Yoga defines meditation as ‘thoughtless awareness’, a state where you are completely conscious but at the same time completely without thought. In this state, we gain a unique perspective and insight into the beauty of our own innate nature. Physical and mental health benefits have also been attributed to regular meditation practice through comprehensive Australian research (Learn more in the book ‘silence your mind’ or at www.beyondthemind.com). Sahaja Yoga meditation was founded by HH Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi in 1970, and is based on kundalini awakening. Shri Mataji felt that meditation is an essential part of our spiritual growth. She felt that because meditation is so essential, a free and simple method to achieve it must be made available for everyone. Sahaja Yoga is now practiced in over 52 countries worldwide. **Learn more here** https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpn47Y9bqAkucSPCMYJqONCaytIUlvQcX

Hello Everyone! Come & join us for a relaxing Open Heart meditation & Reiki Tummo healing. You will be guided to be connected to your spiritual heart again, to feel the calmness, peace, joy, and love from your Heart.. to experience more of this quality in our daily lives. The only thing you have to bring is a yoga mat to lie on for receiving the healing at the end of the session, your heart and your smile, feel free to bring your friends, family member, neighbors, colleagues.. Please park at Thirsty Camel secure parking and walk towards the building. Ring 601 at the intercom and walk towards the lift, press 6 on the lift. See you there! :)LL Christine/ Grace/ Sam +61 413 264 386 We ask for a $5 donation to help with running costs. Feel free to call or message Grace with your queries. Make sure to also connect with our community on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/openheartmeditation INTRODUCTION On the surface level Open Heart Meditation is a very simple yet effective way to shut the busy mind down, relax and unwind, and to reconnect with peace. Many people come as a quick way to recharge for the week and to find inner peace. On a deeper level Open Heart Meditation is about opening the heart to know your True Self and to connect with our Creator - the ultimate source of love and life - what we call "True Source". The divine energy from True Source (the Reiki energy) is a beautiful restorative energy of healing, joy, love and blessings. It's suitable for people from all religions because it's non denominational and helps people to better connect with their chosen spiritual path - experientially through the heart (rather than through the head with more thinking and theory). When you are connected to this abundant source of life energy every day, you will in turn receive life more abundantly. It will improve your overall happiness, health, and general well-being. You will find yourself more calm and less reactive; your choices in life will be more sound and centred; and you will be more in line with your True Self - all beyond the limited intelligence of the mind, other worldly wisdoms, and fluctuating emotions. The greater purpose of this practice for those who wish to pursue it beyond relaxation and healing is to return home - back to our Creator from where we all originated from - the ultimate source of life and unconditional love. Open Heart Meditation is therefore very different to many popular types of meditation, such as Mindfulness Meditation for the following reasons: • It does not rely on the mind or observation, or on emotions, but rather it is focused on the heart. We teach you how to easily shut the mind down, to open the heart, and sense from it. • Instead of practicing detachment, we teach you to attach to the source of abundant life first. This will then help you detach from all forms of negativities naturally without any effort. In doing so, this will gradually iron out negative reactive responses, smoothing your life's path. • This blessing, is a gift of Grace and cannot be earned by greater effort. The only thing one can do is to just receive this gift from True Source with an open heart, in gratitude. This group is dedicated to those who would like to learn, practice and share about Open Heart Meditation. Everyone is welcome to join, learn and contribute in a positive, safe and caring environment. :-) For more information about Open Heart Meditation: https://naturalwayofliving.com/wellness-programs/open-heart-meditation/ PERTH TESTIMONIALS "We are so incredibly blessed with Open Heart Meditation - the truth that we've learnt and discovered for ourselves; the lovely community; and what it is doing for our soul permanently. So grateful for this huge blessing. Thank you all for what is coming to my first year with you smiley lot." Ronnie Chua, Perth Australia "Isn't it lovely when you intend to pray for something and immediately feel the love pour down like a bucket of water..Then your heart remembers that the love is everywhere and so you feel like you're swimming in it instead..Now you can't even remember what you were going to pray about because the only 2 words left are 'thank you'" Yalda, Perth, Australia "Before learning about the heart, when I prayed to True Source, it felt flat, and I was never sure if my prayers were heard. I remember how I prayed only when I had problems in my life, or because at school or at church a bunch of us were being told to pray together. Words came out of me without any feeling; I was simply reading prayer lines. Now it is completely different: prayers have become beautiful, and I am able to go into a deep state of connection. I feel how I am communicating with True Source-how my prayers reach up to True Source, Lovingly listening, and are accepted with the beauty of Love." Sunny Tjandrakesuma, Perth, Australia

Wednesday Conder/Gordon walk - off leash ovals and mountain views

Bridget will lead this dog-friendly and people-friendly walk through Conder and Gordon offering long and short options. The walk includes two large off leash ovals, a dog paddling opportunity, pretty mountain and lake views, and a longish stretch following a little creek. It's a flat, easy route of about 5.5 km with paved options along the way - except across some grassy ovals. Expect it to take up to 2 hours to complete with a group. However there is also the option of a shorter version - missing the Point Hut Pond loop if you prefer - totalling about 3 km. The walk starts and ends behind the petrol station at the Lanyon Market Place (the local Conder shopping centre), which has plenty of free parking and a dog-friendly venue for our after-walk coffee addicts. You can see more detail about the walk and a google map of the route on our [website](https://www.canberradogwalks.com.au/conder-gordon-walk/). Important info: * You walk entirely at your own risk and you are wholly responsible for your own, and your dog's, behaviour; by rsvping 'yes' to this walk you understand and agree to this condition. * All off-leash activities are at the discretion of the walk guide. If for any reason they feel any dog should be back on lead, please respect their decision, as they are trying to ensure everyone has a pleasant experience. * We ask $7.50 per adult to be paid by card to the guide at the beginning of the walk - children (under 18) walk free of charge. The charge helps cover our meetup subscription, insurance, internet, petrol, and other costs. We will gladly refund this if you are not happy for any reason. * For more information about how we operate our walks, go to our [FAQ page](https://www.canberradogwalks.com.au/canberra-walks-guided-walks-faqs/).

Mudgeeraba Weekly Wednesday Sound Meditation w/ Singing Ring® Healing Instrument

Please bring a yoga mat and comfies, there are plenty of pillows provided at the hall. Note this is a laying meditation on a wooden studio dance floor. Singing Ring® healing instrument has been studied by top research universities and shown to be highly effective in entraining our brainwaves into a predominantly Alpha & Theta state - the state our brain is in when we meditate, when we reach higher inner awareness and become deeply connected to our subconscious. This subconscious connection and inner awareness allows us to reach new levels of self development and process life’s challenges in the calm and loving sound energy Singing Ring® produce. The sound therapy also balances the chakra centres and clears the aura. Through the session we place the sound bowls on your body to experience the solfeggio vibrations physically which aid in lymphatic drainage and structuring our waters on a cellular level to improve their function. Each week of the month we rotate Singing Ring Australia facilitators for a slightly different sound journey experience, however the main focus is always using the Singing Ring® sound healing instrument. 1st week - Yoko & Emiko 2nd week - Michael & Yoko 3rd week - Naoko & Emiko 4th week - Michael & Yoko (Subject to change and if there is a 5th week facilitators will likely vary) (Also please support Yoko at - [We Are Sound](https://www.facebook.com/wearesound8)) It truly is a magical experience that is quite difficult express in words.

GDG Melbourne June'26 Meetup!

RSVP on our GDG community platform -> https://gdg.community.dev/events/details/google-gdg-melbourne-presents-gdg-melbourne-june26-meetup/ This event is hosted at the Mantel Group Office, with the recording of the talks to be shared afterwards on YouTube if you can't make it. There will be food, networking and some surprise swag!Agenda: 6:20 - Intro 6:30 - Talks 8:00 till late - networking & chat (& drinks optional)Speakers and Talks: Talk 1: Olga Mirensky - Senior Staff Site Reliability Engineer @ Ping Identity Olga and Her Agent Attended AI Engineer Conference. Lessons Learned What happens when you let an experimental Stand-In Agent run loose against a live conference environment? To follow the fast-paced sessions of an AI Engineer conference, I built an agent while at the conference. The agent monitored talks and distilled what actually mattered to me - filtering for high-value signal and turning it into specs ready to implement or articles I should read. I started with a different platform, but pivoted to an ADK agent deployed to GCP Agent Platform. Identical system prompt, different platform architecture, different LLM - completely different outcomes. This talk is a transparent look at what happens when agentic experiments meet reality, including an architectural runaway bug that burned 1M tokens per minute. We look past the hype and focus on the real engineering rigour required to build purposeful agents, with four key takeaways: * The Purpose Filter: Why does your agent care about this specific talk? If it’s not highly unique, you’re just automating noise. * Architecture > Hype: The gap between what you expect and what actually happens at runtime and why. * The Personalised Flywheel: High-signal distillation requires deep context about you, your team, and where you are in your journey. * Clear Goal Setting: Moving from “autonomous” to “purposeful”. In the replay demo I’ll walk through my flywheel showing how the agent filtered the content in real-time, picked up on tech I am interested in, turned it into an implementable spec, and how AI tools can close the loop to further automate the entire implementation, testing, and release cycle. Talk 2: Sahil Bahadur Devkota - Full Stack Developer Beyond LLMs: why RAG is equally important In this talk, I'll break down how RAG works, why is it really important in real-world and it's popular architectural pattern. We'll look at the core components of a RAG pipeline, discuss it's implementation approach, and cover some of the key things to think about when building an AI applications with RAG. Whether you're working with AI or building application that need accurate responses, you'll leave with a practical understanding of when RAG make sense - and when it doesn't. Talk 3: Abhijeet Kumar - AI & Automation | Cloud enthusiast Beyond RAG: Building an Agentic "Second Brain" with FastAPI, pgvector, and Gemini Move beyond static note-taking apps. This talk explores Project NeuralFortress—a custom, Python-built knowledge management system designed to actively synthesize information. We’ll walk through evolving a basic RAG script into an agentic pipeline using FastAPI for routing, Neon PostgreSQL (pgvector) for vector storage, and Google Gemini for cognitive processing. In Development (Sneak Peek): A brief look at experimental features currently in testing to make the system fully autonomous: GraphRAG: Mapping multi-hop relationships beyond standard vector distance. MCP Integration: Native database queries directly from your code editor. Async Watchers: Autonomous background web scraping and data ingestion.

Founders who are ready to be seen, backed, and taken seriously. *** ### **What this event is** A curated pitch night hosted by **Fishburners**, Australia’s largest startup community, in partnership with **Chartered Accountants ANZ, Vanta, and HubSpot.** The best Australian AI startups will pitch in front of a room specifically vetted for high-level investors, operators, and ecosystem leaders. This is not a night for judging from the sidelines, it is a night for backing the future of Australian tech. Come and see real founders, real companies, and real opportunity. *** ### **Why this night matters** Fishburners has supported over **35,000 entrepreneurs** and helped startups raise **$1B+** This event isn't just about a 5-minute slide deck; it’s about the convergence of technical talent and the institutional support required to win globally. #### The last Founders who pitched did far more than just participate... They raised capital. They won awards. They built real traction. This pitch night is the front door. *** ### **Want to Pitch?** Apply to Pitch here: [https://airtable.com/appM3HBc3eoPUC7xv/pagFa5ESY38lwaOAW/form](https://airtable.com/appM3HBc3eoPUC7xv/pagFa5ESY38lwaOAW/form) *** ### **Who should be in the room** **AI Founders** * **Apply to pitch** if you are building an AI startup and are ready to put it in front of the country's most active investors. **Investors & Ecosystem Leaders** * Attend to discover vetted AI talent early. * Engage with the founders building at the frontier. * Connect with the partners providing the infrastructure for AI growth. *** ### **What you get from attending** * Live pitches from Australias most ambitious AI startups * Direct exposure to founders ahead of the next Ascent Project cohort * Connection with Australia’s startup ecosystem in a focused, high-signal environment * A clear view of where Fishburners is taking its platform in 2026 *** ### **Event details** **Date:** June 24, 2026 **Time:** 6:00 – 8:30pm **Location:** The Collider, 477 Pitt Street, Sydney *** ### **What to do next** * **Supporters and investors:** Register and be in the room. * **Everyone:** Share this with a founder who should be on stage.
