Sunday Meditation | Community Building | Connection | Meet New People

**Who We are..... 🤝** Our journey to bring people together began in January of 2022. The group was started with a simple intention to gather and meet some likeminded people - connecting through the powerful act of meditation and sharing our genuine selves while sitting in a circle that represents equality, harmony and wholeness( *we believe everyone in the circle is a teacher and a student at the same time)*. And over the last 4 years of consistently coming together, we have fostered a beautiful, loving, dependable community where members from all walks of life have experienced a sacred space to sit in silence together and meditate, share their authentic selves, give presence to others and forge meaningful and long lasting connections. The Meditations are guided by Sana(co-founder and host), who is a Trained and certified meditation teacher by the Meditation Association of Australia, and has been guiding meditations for 3+ years in corporate and community settings. ✨ **Do you wish to....** * Experience a simple yet powerful meditation and breathing practice to find calm, relaxation and clarity * Connect with like-minded people in your local community and foster meaningful connections * Meet others who are passionate about growing, uplifting themselves, and supporting others * Share insights from your personal journey (or simply listen and learn) Or maybe you just want to... ☮️ **Spend your Sunday evening in a peaceful, zen space and meet new people? Bring a friend (or two!) and let’s connect.** **What’s on the evening’s flow?** * **Open meet & greet** – connect and settle in * **5 min guided meditation** to land into the space and connect within * **Sharing circle** (totally optional!) – share your thoughts or simply listen * **20-30 min guided meditation** – for relaxation and deeper connection **Where?** 📍 **250 George St, Fitzroy VIC 3065** Enter through the church gates. You’ll see a small garden on the left and stairs on the right leading up to the **Dance of Life Yoga Studio (first door on your right upstairs).** **What to bring?** * **Donation:** A contribution of **$15 or more is recommended**. Your donations directly help us cover venue, meetup membership and other costs, provide valuable resources, and keep this meditation community alive and growing. * **Warm jumper/jacket** (just in case!) * **Water** * **Any books/resources/inspiration you’d love to share** **Important Notes:** * Spaces are **limited**, so if you can’t make it, please update your RSVP to “Not going” or send us a quick message. * **No-show policy:** To keep it fair for everyone, repeat no-shows without notice may not be able to RSVP in the future. * Attendees under 18 must have a guardian present. **Everyone is welcome!** All ages (with guardians for under 18), backgrounds, genders, and experiences – no meditation experience needed.

School of life - Sydney fan meetup, difficult questions deck

This event is in person! To find the room, walk into the car parking area from the street at 14 Frances St, walk to the end of the car park (to the left of the building) and enter in the side pedestrian gate. Walk straight down the pathway to the back building and up the stairs. Look for the signs to Skyview Hall! As part of the school of life Sydney meetup we host a discussion focused on the difficult questions deck. We flip a difficult question and then ask the group to answer. Some examples include, "what makes a good listener?" and "if you could own any piece of art, what would it be?", "who was a childhood role model other than your parents?" Join us for questions like these and more. We hope to have you join us in this journey of self discovery. If you’re reading this, you’re invited. Please don’t feel like you “won’t be welcome” just because you’re new, demographically different from the average member, or hate the School of Life and everything it stands for. You’ll be fine! We usually meet every 3rd Sunday of the month at 4pm. 0438481143 to contact us if you get lost. This event is free for first time participants, then $10 if you are coming back for more! The cost covers the room hire, snacks and helps with making sure people are committed to attending. If you struggle to pay the cost, please get in touch to talk about it. You can also pay via Payid to 0438481143

Soulful Mantra Meditation Evening

Soulful Mantra Meditation Evening

**We invite you to The Mantra Room, a friendly community sharing spiritual practice of Mantra Meditation, Kirtan & Wisdom & Vegan Meal.** **\~\~** “Mantra” means transcendental sound vibration, sound which transcends the material world. It does not originate in the material world; it originates in the Spiritual World and descends to the material platform without losing any spiritual potency. By the simple process of mantra meditation, our mind and heart are gradually purified of all kinds of stress, worry, misconceptions and deep-seated fears etc. We begin to experience an ever-deepening inner peace and happiness and increasing insights into life. The easiest way of meditating on the mantras is by singing in a group accompanied with musical instruments , which is also known as Kirtan. Rather than being a type of performance, Kirtan is a journey of self discovery. It nourishes our deepest needs for inner peace, happiness, freedom from fear & spiritual love. Be a part of an immersive and interactive mantra meditation experience and join many other like minded people that come to Brisbane’s home of Kirtan [The Mantra Room](https://www.facebook.com/TheMantraRoom.Brisbane)! Everyone is welcome, whether you regularly engage in meditation or never before we encourage you to come along for a special night of chanting. Includes Community Veg/Vegan meal. Volunteering and Donations in supporting these events are greatly appreciated. Namaste! The Mantra Room Volunteers♥

Big Squid

Big Squid

It may come as a surprise to some, but it’s no surpise to others: the boys in Big Squid have dreams of breaking into the K-pop market. Yes, it’s incredible but true. But while they work on their ambitious but not inconceivable plan to storm this brave new world, they continue to amaze audiences every year with their impressive musical skills, playing a vast range of the not-quite-greatest songs from the 70s, 80s and even 90s. If you’re a Big Squid virgin, don’t be afraid. Be entertained. Formed when music was mostly made up of 3 chords and artifical intelligence was defined as an answering machine attached to your landline, Big Squid have been “burning down the house” since the late 80s. Did they have big hair back then? Certainly! Do they still have big hair? Not quite. Occasionally described as rock and roll geniuses by music promoters and punters alike, these masters of musical mayhem pride themselves in turning your clock back to the days when you were young and kid free, and breathalyzers were a rarity easily avoided by using the back streets to get home. If band names like Paper Lace, ABBA, Racey, Peter Allen, Wild Cherry , T-Rex, Glen Campbell and Skyhooks don’t get your enjoyment juices flowing, don’t worry - there are plenty more Pop classics these consumate artists will be performing to get your feet moving and your stomach turning. Don’t be surprised to find yourself fainting to the floor due to your excessive excitement. So listen up, mollusk lovers! Big Squid has survived the supposedly non-toxic algal bloom and are back at The Gov for yet another Sunday afternoon show on June 21st 2026. Here’s your opportunity (is it your last? Did they say this last time?) to come along and relive your glory days, whilst finding out: does Andrew still have all is own teeth, is Rob still the greatest keyboard player Adelaide has ever heard if not seen, is Warwick the tallest bass player known to mankind, will Jeff drum the whole show whilst wearing a President Regan mask, is Dave still using the amplifier and guitar pedals he bought in 1981, and will Mark wear normal clothes? At $29.99 a ticket for about 3 hours of entertainment, it’s cheaper than a 1/4 tank of petrol!

Human anterior and frontal midline theta and lower alpha reflect emotionally positive state and internalized attention: high-resolution EEG investigation of meditation. Neurosci Lett. 2001 Sep 7;310(1):57-60.](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11524157/) **Week2** **Attention: How it works** The three aspects of attention; alerting, orienting and executive control play an important role being able to manage ourselves. Meditation elevates our attention onto deeper aspects of our lives. 🧠 Based on: [Petersen SE, Posner MI. The attention system of the human brain: 20 years after. Annu Rev Neurosci. 2012;35:73-89.](https://www.annualreviews.org/content/journals/10.1146/annurev-neuro-062111-150525) **Week 3** **Ancient Wisdom & inspiration** Science gives us the tools to understand the mechanics of creation, but ancient wisdom inspires us to know our place within the collective power that supports us. 🧠 Based on: [Mascaró, J. (Ed. & Trans.). (1965). The Upanishads. Penguin Books.](https://archive.org/details/upanishads00masc) **Week 4** **Role of the Guru** Gu: "darkness" (ignorance, illusion, and confusion). Ru: "destroyer," "dispeller," or "that which removes." The right Guru dispels the darkness of ignorance and reveals the light of truth. 🧠 Based on: [Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, How to get the connection with the Divine power, 03 June 1990, Miami, USA](https://learnsahajayoga.org/en/post/6673).
