Create your own vision board! $10 everyone welcome

Create your own vision board! $10 everyone welcome

Tue, Aug 25, 8:30 AM
From Anima Creative

This month we'll be making vision boards together. The idea is to take a bit of time to think about what you'd like to focus on for the rest of the year, whether that's goals, hobbies, travel, relationships, work, or just things that inspire you. Since it's Virgo season, it felt like a good time for a bit of a reset. This isn't a class, and there's no right or wrong way to do it. You're welcome to come on your own or with a friend. You can chat with people, or just sit and work on your board quietly. I'll have magazines, paper, glue, scissors, and other collage materials available to use. If you'd rather make your vision board digitally, feel free to bring your iPad or tablet. You're also welcome to bring your own photos, magazines, printed images, stickers, or anything else you'd like to include.

September Book Club

September Book Club

Sat, Sep 12, 2:00 AM
From Beyond the Page - Women's 30+ Melbourne Bookclub

Welcome to our September gathering of Melbourne Women's Big Ideas Book Club! If you love discovering great books and discussing the ideas they spark, we'd love to have you join us. This is a relaxed monthly lunch where every member brings along a book they've recently enjoyed. There are no set reads and no genre restrictionsโ€”just thoughtful books and interesting women. Each member has the opportunity to share what they've been reading, what resonated, what challenged them, or what fell short. From there, the conversation naturally evolves as we explore new perspectives, exchange recommendations, and connect through a shared love of reading. Whether you're a regular attendee or joining us for the first time, you'll find a welcoming group of curious, intelligent women who enjoy meaningful conversation and genuine connection. I can't wait to hear what you've been reading this month.

In this session, we will delve deeper into the topic and gain perspective, and learn from each other. Be prepared to network, engage in meaningful conversations, and embark on a journey of professional development and leadership growth. **Mark your calendars and don't miss this opportunity to refine your public speaking abilities with the Melbourne TED Talk Community!** **TED Talk link to watch together:** **Agenda (as a guide)** 6.00 PM Registration 6.10 PM Introduction by Attendees 6.15 PM 10-12 min TED talk on screen (optional) 6.30 PM Breakout session (Group / Individual) based on topic 6.40 PM Individual / Group shares their takeaways 7.00 PM Practice the Art of Public Speaking - 2-3 talks of 2-5 minutes 7.10 PM Feedback to the Presenters and overall session 7.20 PM Event Concludes & floor opens for Networking **Location Guide:** We are in the Sue Healy Room which is on 2nd floor.
