Seven Nights of 007: The World Is Not Enough (M) PRESENTED IN 35MM FILM

Seven Nights of 007: The World Is Not Enough (M, 1999) Presented in 35mm Film by The Revival House Perth in partnership with RAC When MI6 agent 009 is killed retrieving money stolen from oil tycoon Sir Robert King, James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) escorts the recovered funds to London—only to witness King's assassination in a bombing at MI6 headquarters. M (Judi Dench) assigns Bond to protect King's daughter Elektra (Sophie Marceau), who has inherited a pipeline project in Azerbaijan and survived her own kidnapping by the terrorist Renard (Robert Carlyle). Renard, who has a bullet lodged in his brain that's slowly killing him while eliminating his ability to feel pain, is plotting to sabotage Elektra's pipeline. As Bond protects Elektra and investigates Renard's scheme with the help of nuclear physicist Dr. Christmas Jones (Denise Richards), he discovers a conspiracy that strikes at the heart of MI6 itself. Bond must navigate deadly betrayals while stopping a nuclear catastrophe in the shadows of the former Soviet Union. Director Michael Apted brings a more character-driven approach to the Bond formula, exploring 007's vulnerability and the psychological cost of his missions. The 1999 film opens with a spectacular boat chase down the Thames and through the Millennium Dome construction site, setting the tone for ambitious action set pieces. Pierce Brosnan's third outing finds Bond emotionally compromised, while Sophie Marceau creates one of the franchise's most complex figures. Robert Carlyle brings quiet menace to Renard despite limited screen time. The film's willingness to make M complicit in the tragedy adds unexpected depth. David Arnold's score and the exotic locations—Baku, Istanbul, the Caspian Sea—provide classic Bond glamour. While Denise Richards' casting as a nuclear physicist stretches credibility, the film's emotional stakes and twisty plot make this an underrated entry. Original format and audio experience of this film faithfully reproduced by The Revival House. Presented in 35mm film unless noted otherwise. When: Sunday, June 21st at 7:00PM Where: The Revival House at the Como Theatre Rating: M (Low level violence) Brosnan's emotionally complex Bond faces betrayal and nuclear threat - experience this underrated entry in 35mm film. Presented by: The Revival House Perth and RAC

Nourishing Yin and Meditation

Yin is a slow, soothing, and meditative style of yoga that targets the deep connective tissues, bones, joints, fascia, and ligaments in the body. It also focuses on stretching and stimulating different acupressure points from Traditional Chinese Medicine. In Yin Yoga, we hold mostly passive poses for about two to five minutes to work into our connective tissues. The more we work our fascial system and deep tissues, the less dense and tight our bodies become as we age. Movement and stretching hydrate fascia and literally help slow the aging process. https://asmy.org.au/west-end/yoga-classes/yoga-class-descriptions/

NORTHSIDE MUSICIANS CHOIR FT. ROWENA WISE

Northside Musicians Choir is teaming up with the most incredible Rowena Wise to bring you an incomparable experience at the Brunswick Ballroom. The Northside Musicians Choir, directed by Grace Robinson, is made up of 80 people from the local music and creative community — musicians, music lovers, artists, creatives, and people who can frikken sing. Together, they perform intricate five-part arrangements that move between pop, traditional folk, contemporary, and gospel, building something exciting, powerful, and deeply human. The evening will open with the choir's own set of focused repertoire, shaped in weekly rehearsals at APAX Warehouse in Preston — a space that has become home for this growing community. Then, Rowena Wise takes the stage, performing her incredible long-awaited new album solo, supported by the full force of the 80-piece choir, arranged by Grace Robinson. It is hard to explain what this many voices singing together feels like. This is not just a gig, but a shared experience that circles around community, voices, harmony, and perfect dissonance. The feeling you will experience in this beautiful ballroom is unexplainable; the only thing you can do is simply attend. All proceeds from the night will support the ongoing running of the choir, helping keep it accessible for young people in the arts. The room fills, the harmonies swell, and suddenly you're part of it — whether you mean to be or not. Come and feel it for yourself.

Master the Art of Better Decisions

This interactive session equips you with practical tools to enhance Emotional Intelligence (EI), manage cognitive biases and make better decisions by mastering System 1 (emotional reactivity) and System 2 (logical analysis) thinking where EI serves as the vital bridge between the two.

Know when to trust our 'gut feelings' and when to switch to rational thought. * Greater performance under pressure: Learn to recognise triggers and pivot from reactive impulses to deliberate, strategic choices when the stakes are high. * Better collaboration: When you regulate your own System 1 responses, psychological safety flourishes, which leads to better collaboration. * Increased resilience: Build a team that doesn’t just survive volatility but thrives in it. ***Facilitators*** ***[Caidryn Roder](https://www.linkedin.com/in/caidyrn/):*** *Co-founded ProSocia and has over 20 years of experience helping people and organisations thrive.

Indoor Rock Climbing (Urban Climb Blackburn ) - First-time to Advanced

**Urban Climb Blackburn** Never climbed before? No worries at all! You're very welcome here! Just complete a quick safety induction when you arrive and the staff will walk you through everything you need to know to climb safely indoors. It's easy, friendly, and won't take long. The venue has plenty to enjoy, including a bouldering cave, speed wall, sauna facilities, and sparkling water to keep you going. This group is primarily focused on rope climbing, top roping and lead climbing, but if you'd prefer to stick to bouldering while you find your feet, that's absolutely fine too! Many of our members have their lead pass and gear, but there's no pressure at all. **Finding us:** If you arrive on time, look for us gathered around the couches in the bouldering area. We're a friendly bunch, so just come and say hi! Running a little late? No stress, just let the staff up the front know you're with the Climb Meetup group and they'll make an announcement. Someone will come and find you and introduce you around. A few of our regulars also wear a black shirt with the old logo, so keep an eye out for those. **A note on numbers:** The meetup runs every Monday and many regular members come along independently without RSVPing through the group, so the crowd is often bigger than it looks on the attendee list! If you're ever unsure whether people will be there or worried it might be a tiny group, feel free to drop the organisers a message beforehand and we'll put your mind at ease. **Fees:** Entry is paid directly to Urban Climb. You can find current pricing at [urbanclimb.com.au/pricing](https://urbanclimb.com.au/pricing/). If you hold a climbing membership elsewhere, it's worth checking your member benefits as you may be eligible for a discount. For venue info and the first-time waiver, visit [urbanclimb.com.au/locations/blackburn](https://urbanclimb.com.au/locations/blackburn/). **Stay connected:** We also have a facebook group [https://www.facebook.com/groups/663576119053808](https://www.facebook.com/groups/663576119053808) with a chat function; a great way to connect with members before or after a session!

Inner Harmony and Awareness Meditation

**Meditation and Self-Awareness** This is a guided meditation in an atmosphere of acceptance and compassion. Emphasis is placed on aligning yourself to the potential of your Awareness / True Nature and embracing your humanness with acceptance and compassion. It's about learning how to get into the drivers seat of your life as your own loving and wise gaurdian. 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. Inner Harmony Meditation is a nurturing and insightful open group held on a weekly basis that can be attended whenever you like. Just wear comfortable clothes. We ask each participant to contribute at least $5 to help cover the rent. If you have the means, feel free to contribute $20 for each class to help support the work, which includes me being able to offer counselling/coaching clients a discount rate when needed, or more if you like, or less if you can't.

‘Social Sanctuary’ with Sol Hopkins, Adam Hattaway + Paper Daisies

FREE ENTRY | $20 CHICKEN & EGGPLANT PARMAS | $10 PINTS OF MOUNTAIN GOAT Kick those Monday blues to the curb at Social Sanctuary – your weekly night of free live music at NSC. We've lined up a stellar roster of your fave local artists and some exciting new talents breezing through town! This week Sol Hopkins, Adam Hattaway and Paper Daisies are stopping by for a show. On one hand Sol Hopkins is a scholar of classic pop music, crafting songs with a reverence for the Bacharachs, Webbs, and McCartneys of the past. On the other hand, he is a disciple of folky, Australianic, DIY jangle music. It’s where these two threads meet that the kaleidoscopic pop tapestry of Sol’s music is woven. His debut album will be released later this year on the back of singles 'Graduate' and 'The Horse'. Cutting deep with raw soul, grit, and rock ’n’ roll charm. Known for turning heartbreak into a howl, they’re dialing it down—but not backing off. This is live music with teeth, up close and personal. Adam Hattaway hails from Christchurch, New Zealand. Travelling Australia and NZ, sharing songs from his surprisingly extensive discography. Paper Daisies are an alt/dream folk band playing on Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Land. Our songs explore place, change, love and the disorienting bittersweetness of being alive. Social Sanctuary is proud to be sponsored by Mountain Goat. Our show is being held on the lands of the Wurundjeri People and we wish to acknowledge them as the Traditional Owners of this land we are gathered on. We also pay our respects to their Elders, past and present, and Aboriginal Elders of other communities that may join us for our show. THIS SHOW IS STRICTLY 18+ Northcote Social Club strives to create a safe space that everyone can enjoy. Crowd surfing & dangerous behaviour will result in removal from the venue.

This month's activity will be board games. Feel free to bring along a board game to play! 📅 Monday 22nd June @ 7pm 📍 Berwick - meeting location will be sent to registered attendees. 🍔 Bring a plate of food or drinks to share. 💰 Gold coin donation + once off $15 membership fee if you attend more than once. If it's your first time joining us, you're welcome to trial the social night before you pay the membership fee. However, anyone attending more than once needs to become a member. This ensures we're covered by insurances and helps keep our costs low. The aim of this event is to create space for queer people to socialise and build community. There are so few spaces dedicated specifically to us, especially in the outer suburbs. If you are an ally or supporter, we appreciate you. However please mindful that this event is a dedicated space for people who identify as LGBTQIA+ only.
