Melbourne Cup Eve Social at Transport Bar, Federation Square
Mon, Nov 2, 7:30 AM**Eat Drink Dance Melbourne – Melbourne Cup Eve Social at Transport Bar** Monday 2 November 6:30pm – 11:00pm Transport Bar – Glass House section (Swanston Street side) A fun, flirty, Cup Eve social that gives everyone a chance to show off, mingle, and socialise without any pressure. Good clothes are optional — confidence, sparkle, and a willingness to chat are far more important. The Glass House section at Transport Bar gives us that perfect Melbourne Cup Eve energy: big windows, city lights, people drifting past on Swanston Street, and a warm indoor vibe that makes it easy to move between groups and strike up conversations. It’s the kind of space where you can arrive solo and still feel like you’re walking into a room full of friends. We start at 7pm, settle in with drinks, and let the night build naturally. Expect a mix of friendly banter, flirty moments, and the usual Eat Drink Dance social chemistry. Stay for one drink or glide through the whole evening — the vibe works either way. So the event will feel intimate, easy, and welcoming (I hope) for people attending. Perfect for anyone who wants a Cup Eve that’s social without being chaotic, stylish without being serious, and fun without needing to dress like a racehorse. **What to expect** **-** Warm social energy — easy conversations, friendly faces, and a relaxed flow - Girl‑friendly vibe — space to shine, chat, laugh, and be noticed - Flirty moments — nothing heavy, just light, fun social chemistry - Cup Eve atmosphere — city lights, pre‑Cup excitement, and a lively crowd outside **Bring** - Your favourite version of yourself — dressed up or dressed down - A friend or come solo — both work beautifully - Your social sparkle — the night rewards anyone who mingles
Beach Walk & Good Conversation | Brighton to St Kilda
Sun, Oct 25, 5:00 AM**A gentle seaside walk from Brighton to St Kilda, for people who enjoy meaningful conversation without pressure or performance.** It's 8km along the foreshore - around two and a quarter hours at an easy pace, with stops. Flat the whole way, and beautiful. We walk in small clusters that naturally re-form as we go, so you'll end up talking with several different people rather than the same one the whole way. **Where to meet** 📍 Brighton Beach Station carpark, behind the station near the bicycle parking (see the map in the photos) 🕒 4:00pm for a 4:15pm start 🚶 First stop is the Beach Boxes **Rough timings** * 4:00pm – meet at Brighton Beach Station carpark * 4:15pm – start walking * \~4:35pm – toilet stop at Brighton Baths * \~5:40pm – passing Elwood Beach * \~6:30pm – arrive St Kilda, optional dinner **On the walk** There's light structure so nobody feels awkward arriving on their own, but plenty of freedom to just enjoy the views and the company. Good Conversation questions will be available - completely optional. We'll regroup at a few points along the way, including the toilet stop at Brighton Baths. You're welcome to peel off at any station along the route if you've had enough - no need to explain, just let one of us know. **This is for you if you enjoy** * Thoughtful, curious conversation * Being outdoors and moving your body gently * Social connection that feels relaxed and human * Meeting likeminded people without loud venues or small talk overload **What to bring** Comfortable shoes, layers, water and sun protection. It's the bay, so it's usually cooler and windier than the city. **Weather:** we walk in light rain. If it's genuinely miserable we may post here by midday - check the event page before you leave home. **Afterwards** Optional dinner in St Kilda from around 630pm for anyone who'd like to keep talking. Suggestion: Mya Tiger - the food is lovely, and there's a hidden bar upstairs worth a look. **Running late?** We start walking at 4:15pm and follow the foreshore path the whole way, so we're easy to find. Either walk quickly along the path to catch us up, or take a train or tram to a point further along and wait by the beach path for us to pass. Elwood Beach around 5:40pm is the easiest place to join us. The route map and timings are in the photos. Please note the host won't be checking their phone once we set off - they're on the walk too, and they'd rather be present with the group than on a screen. Everything you need is in this description. **Who it's for** Young-at-heart adults, most of our members somewhere between 25 and 50, though the vibe matters more than the number. Strictly 18+. Come as you are. Conversation's an invitation here, never an obligation. **Cost: free.** \-\-\-\-\-\- HOST RESOURCES: [https://mastercoaches.net/good-conversation-club-questions.pdf](https://mastercoaches.net/good-conversation-club-questions.pdf) Print double sided. Cut up cards. Hand out at the start of the event. Guide people to introduce themselves to other guests - for example, talk to someone wearing the same colour as you, or someone about your height.

3 Hara Reiki Practice Night
Sat, Nov 7, 6:45 AMNamaste Healer, Unlike Indian yogic traditions, with their chakra-based systems, traditional Reiki works with 3 key energy centres, often called the three haras. Used together, they help you merge the material with the spiritual. They ground you. They improve your intuition. They uplift your energy. They harmonise all of the energy in your body. They are the 'secret sauce' to traditional Japanese Reiki, and at this practice night, I'll show you how to get the most out of them. Hope to see you there. Shine brightly, Jeremy PS You can learn more about the three haras by checking out my Reiki article, '**[The Power of Three](https://www.om-reiki.com.au/reiki-article-of-week.html)**'. **PPS This Will Transform Your Healing!** If you're looking for more ways to expand your healing, consider learning the **Pellowah** healing method. **[Pellowah healing](http://www.pellowah.net.au/pellowah-courses.html)** is an ultra-high vibrational healing modality that works **exclusively on the auric field** and is especially good for working on **chronic issues** and **clearing energetic blocks**.
