**Can you imagine fully realising that** as a human being living on this planet called Earth, you are more than the physical body, flesh, blood, cells and molecules? That you are a soul in a physical body? That you are energy that cannot be destroyed? That you are one with all things in the universe? **Imagine having Superpowers that can assist you in your everyday life.** Have you ever thought of someone and shortly afterwards hear from them or see them? Have you ever walked into a room and felt excited or apprehensive, for no clear reason? Have you ever seen a sign that perfectly answers a question you were thinking about? Have you ever woken up with a song in your head and the lyrics explain exactly what you wanted to know at that moment? These are examples of our Superpowers at work. **In this presentation, Michelle Bourke will discuss** our superpowers in more detail, which she describes as our Four Spiritual Gifts: * The Gift of Prophecy * The Gift of Vision * The Gift of Intuition * The Gift of Feeling Michelle will discuss what these Superpowers are, how they work, and how you can use them to your advantage in everyday life. **About Michelle Bourke:** * Trance Medium, Storyteller and published Author * Born and raised in Melbourne, mother of two * Gifted from a young age with seeing spirits and intuitive understanding * Spent many years developing her gifts and gaining knowledge * Specialises in bringing like-minded people together around empowerment and developing true purpose * Storyteller/author who writes about real life * Tragically lost her lifelong soulmate Paul in 2016 * Authored *Conversations with Paul*, a story about love, heartache, frustration, and determination in the face of a soulmate’s terminal illness * As promised to Paul, travelled the world and shared amazing experiences with a cardboard cut-out of him * Has inspired many in her authenticity while keeping true to herself and honouring Paul’s memory * There is currently a movie in the making of her world travels with cut-out Paul **Post-Event Social Lunch Hangout (12.45 - 2.00pm)** Afterwards, you are invited to lunch with everyone at **Flora Indian Restaurant** (3min walk from the venue) *[Note: This will also be posted as a separate event, for those who want to join the lunch only]* **PLEASE NOTE:** * **11AM Start -** Please be considerate and arrive early. * **$10 Cover Charge:** Room hire, facilities, and running costs.

Bendigo Bloom Tulip Festival Adventure - Public Holiday Day Trip - Singles

Bendigo Bloom Tulip Festival Adventure - Public Holiday Day Trip - Singles

Thu, Sep 24, 11:00 PM
From Eat, Drink and Dance Melbourne
4.6

🌷 **Bendigo Bloom: Public‑Holiday Festival Adventure (Singles 30+)** Friday 25 September — 9:00am to ~4:00pm Return on the 4pm train Max group: Around 12 (waitlist applies) 🌟 **Event Overview** We’re taking advantage of the Grand Final Eve public holiday with a colourful, social, lightly chaotic day trip to Bendigo — the livelest day of the Bloom season. Expect artisan market stalls, live music, food trucks, peak tulip displays, and a crowd full of relaxed day‑trippers enjoying their long weekend. This is not a rigid tour. This is a set‑your‑own‑adventure festival day. ***Please note: This event is waitlisted.*** ***I want a balanced gender mix, i.e even numbers of girls and guys. I have event expectations around no shows, read on for how all this works***.. I’ll be doing my own walking exploration of Bendigo — it’s my first time there, so I’ll be wandering through the tulip beds, heritage streets, Rosalind Park, and the festival zone at my own pace. You’re welcome to join me, peel off, regroup, or catch up later. Some people will stick together, some will roam, some will meet up again at the markets or even on the train home. You can exit at any point. It’s relaxed, informal, and perfect for singles over 30 who enjoy low‑pressure socialising with plenty of freedom. 🎉 What’s Happening on Friday (Public Holiday) This is the Bloomin’ Good Pop‑Up Market — the most energetic day of the entire Bloom program. 🎭 **Atmosphere** - Public‑holiday buzz - Live acoustic sets + roaming performers - Food trucks + street snacks - Boutique makers + artisan stalls - Tulips in full colour - Big social crowd, lots of women, lots of day‑trippers - Perfect for spontaneous mingling and micro‑groups 🛍️ **Market Stalls** - Handmade jewellery - Ceramics, candles, soaps - Small‑batch gourmet foods - Flowers, plants, seasonal produce - Fashion + accessories - Local makers and regional artisans 🍴 **Food & Drink** **-** Coffee carts - Pastries + baked goods - Food trucks (burgers, bao, wraps, vegan options) - Gelato + sweets - Plenty of picnic‑friendly spots in Rosalind Park 📸 **Photo Energy** **-** Tulips + heritage buildings - Colourful stalls - Festival crowds - Great for group shots or candid wander‑photos 🚆 **Travel Plan (Friday 25 September)** **-** Depart: Southern Cross at 9:00am Meet at 8.45 at the big clock in the forecourt at Southern cross station. We'll head for the last carriage (maybe) - Travel time:~ 1 hour 50 minutes - Arrive Bendigo: ~10:50am - Walk to festival zone: 5–10 minutes - Explore: 11:00am → 4:00pm - Return train: 4:00pm Bendigo → Melbourne (arriving~ 5:50pm) If people want to stay on and grab dinner in Bendigo and catch a later train this is an option, but I'll leave this open to negotiation on the day. The train ride is a great warm‑up — gentle chats, easy introductions, and a relaxed start before the festival energy kicks in. 👣 **Your Adventure Options** Each bullet begins with a Guided Link as required: - Join the walking exploration — wander Bendigo’s streets, tulip beds, and heritage corners. - Browse the market stalls — explore artisan makers and festival pop‑ups. - Follow the live music — drift toward whatever band or busker catches your ear. - Relax in Rosalind Park — picnic, chat, or people‑watch under the trees. - Form a micro group — pair off or cluster with others for part of the day. - Catch up later — reconnect at the festival or on the train home. - Exit any time — peel off whenever you like; no pressure, no schedule. This is an exploratory trip — especially for me — and the whole day is designed to let you follow your curiosity. 👥 **Who This Is For** - Singles 30+ - People who enjoy informal social adventures - Walkers, wanderers, browsers, photographers - Anyone who likes a day trip with light structure and lots of freedom Max group size is around 12, and waitlists will apply. **⚠️Group Rules & Event Etiquette ⚠️** These are basic, commonsense standards that keep events safe, smooth, and enjoyable for everyone. **💘Flirtation Guidelines** This is a social event, not a pressure cooker. Don’t be pushy about phone numbers — let the moment offer itself Don't send unsolicited messages; get in person permission first If the vibe is mutual, go for it Become a regular — I’ll be testing this format over 3–4 events You’ll likely see the same lovely humans again at future singles nights/events or Eat Drink Dance “open” events The goal is to build a small, recurring ecosystem where people feel comfortable, familiar, and relaxed enough to be themselves. **👩‍💼Time Constraints** **If** you’re on a tight schedule, this may not be the right event. Social activities rarely run exactly on time. **👥Waitlist & Gender Ratios** **To** keep things balanced and comfortable: Event capped at 12 people to test interest; if my star signs are in favour, I may increase this to 20 Generally, guys admitted only after a woman registers (to maintain ratios) at my discretion. Group regulars get priority access. Women can be a little flaky (we love them anyway), so I may accept 1–2 extra. **🧭The Creep Code** **A** refined social compass keeps the vibe safe, fun, and drama‑free So: No married/Seperated individuals or those already coupled up (generally) unless I know you. No Tinder Swindler‑style mingler **Guys**: Please Take Special Note Must have a clear face photo (no sunglasses, no blurry shadows, no “mysterious man in witness protection” Don't send unsolicited messages, that's creep gold. **⚠️Don't obscure your identity in other words** No wide shots taken from a distance where you can't be identified No yacht/car/jet flexing — if your profile screams “crypto‑adjacent”, you will be gently declined If you are declined, update your profile photo to something less creepy and more class **Girls**: No restrictions — privacy and safety first **⚠️CRITICAL EXPECTATIONS⚠️** **😢No**‑**Shows** No‑shows block waitlisted people from attending and disrupt small-group events ***Remove yourself more than 24 hours before the event. Cancellations within 24 hours of the event when there is a waitlist will result in group removal and likely blocking People on the waitlist require more than 24 hours' notice that they have been approved to attend.. Flaking within this time period prevents waitlist people from attending No‑shows will be removed from the group *Last‑minute cancellations (“flaking”) may also result in group removal, especially when there is a waitlist 👀 **Attending Without Being on the Going List** This is a security issue Do NOT turn up unannounced If you’re not on the Going list and haven’t arranged it with the organiser beforehand, you will be asked to leave. Event check‑ins are performed ⏰ **Late Arrival** If you’re late, the group will not wait You will be marked as a No‑Show and removed from the group Messages will not be monitored after the event starts It’s your responsibility to communicate and catch up before the event starts—this may not be possible for some events as the organiser is busy organising **🎲Second Chances** **If** something goes wrong, communicate with the organiser. Silence + poor behaviour = removal. -* Communication + accountability = second chances. As the organiser is busy organising, this may be impossible during the event 🚩**Disclaimer: No Liability & Organiser Indemnity** By participating in this event, you acknowledge and accept full personal responsibility for your own safety, wellbeing, and belongings. The organiser assumes no liability for injury, loss, or damage incurred during the activity. Participation is entirely at your own risk
