OVERCOMING ANXIETY - Free Coaching Session

**This is 1:1 call. After RSVP, someone from our team will contact you and send you calendly link for scheduling meeting** This is a free coaching session as a part of our promotional activity, created for individuals who are experiencing anxiety and want to regain a sense of inner balance and control 🌿 In this session, we will explore what anxiety means for you - what triggers it, how it shows up in your thoughts and body, and what keeps it active. You will be guided through a supportive conversation that helps you understand your inner processes more clearly, without judgment or pressure 🤝 The focus is not only on awareness, but also on practical steps. You will learn simple and effective techniques that can help you calm your mind, reduce tension, and respond differently in challenging moments. We will also look at how your patterns of thinking and emotional responses influence your experience, and how small shifts can create meaningful change over time 🔄 This is a safe space where you can openly share, feel heard, and begin building a more stable, grounded, and confident version of yourself 💬

Community of Practice 🗣️ - Human Hearted Sydney 🌻

Join our monthly Community of Practice (COP) where we discuss the ideas of Human Heartedness: a secular approach to life that promotes empathy and social connection based on cultivating our human social potential. Each meeting we discuss these concepts and how they can help us in practical ways to live better, happier, and more fulfilling lives. The meeting is followed by an optional lunch together nearby. This is a great opportunity to meet like-minded people and find your local community! ⏰ **When:** Sunday September 13th at 11:00am 📍 **Where:** Darling Square Library, Level 1 - Ideas Space 2 (see directions) 🎟️ **Cost:** Free 🧑‍🦱 **Who should come:** anyone looking to meet new people and build connections with like-minded Sydneysiders. We’re queer-friendly and welcome people from all ages and backgrounds :) **About Human Heartedness:** The modern world’s focus on competition and materialism makes it easy to feel isolated and overwhelmed. The collapse of traditional sources of meaning like religion and local community intensify this so that we’re often left with a lack of meaning and purpose. We can try to fill the void with money and success—or to numb it with drugs and technology— but nothing seems to work. Human heartedness reminds us that the path to living well doesn’t come from money and power, but from building on the best in our own human hearts. Our human social potential. It points to a better way: to build in-person communities that build on our innate social potential and inherent value as humans. By building good relationships and social connections, we can live a more fruitful and fulfilling life (and help others to do the same). We can move from struggling alone to flourishing together. Following the human hearted way offers a secular, inclusive, forward looking solution to the meaning crisis of our times. **About the Community of Practice (COP):** Our human hearted community of practice (COP) offers a friendly welcoming environment in which we support and encourage each other to live more human hearted lives. Our goal is to build a community that supports us all to live more meaningful and fulfilling lives. We welcome you to join us in exploring together how to live better lives.

Please note the number of people who RSVP to this event does not reflect the number of people who will be at the meeting. The groups are advertised on several sites. • Our groups are usually comprised of a small number of people who come together to share personal experiences and information in a safe, friendly and supportive environment. • Our groups are facilitated by trained volunteers who have a diverse range of experiences but who are not qualified health professionals. As such, this group is not suitable for people with high levels of mental distress which may be associated with psychosis, severe depression or active post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). We recommend that you do not attend this group if you are experiencing high levels of distress as it is unlikely that it will able to meet your needs. • Please check groups around December and January to see which groups are meeting. • To find more about the anxiety support groups call the Anxiety Information Service on: 1300 794 992 or email supportgroups@wayahead.org.au.
