Inclusive Grief Circle: Honouring Loss Through Ceremony, Community & Creativity

Read reviews from past participants [here](https://www.greenhousecreativesanctuary.com/inclusivegrief) “Grief has never been private, it has always been communal. Subconsciously, we are awaiting the presence of others, before we can feel safe enough to drop to our knees on the holy ground of sorrow. For the most part, grief is not a problem to be solved, not a condition to be medicated, but a deep encounter with an essential experience of being human. Grief becomes problematic when the conditions needed to help us work with grief are absent.” - Francis Weller Our primary association with grief is the loss of a loved one but there are so many kinds of losses that don't have formal ceremonies that are important to honour. Unprocessed grief can accumulate in weight, dulling our senses and capacity for aliveness. This is a safe, supportive space for all shapes, sizes and textures of grief- for the loss of our loved ones, for the childhood we did not get to have, for the parts of ourselves that have been rejected and exiled, for friendships and relationships with ambiguous endings, for homes and communities we are distanced from and miss, for the suffering of the world and our fellow beings. This inclusive grief circle is also an advocacy for compassionate and attentive grief work, for reshaping our understanding of and relationship with grief. It is a holding space, a container, a time and a deep permission to acknowledge our emotions, our connections, the ways we have been touched and transformed, and our humanity. We will make art in response to the Grief Deck, share and witness each other’s stories and journeys, and co-create a group nature mandala together. **Please bring a jar and 8-10 similar natural objects (8 flowers or 8 sticks or 8 stones).** If you are facing financial hardship, please key in CONCESSION as a promo code for a discounted price of $25. If that is still difficult, please email me at greenhouse.arttherapy@gmail.com. No one will be turned away. **Please also note:** * This is an art-therapy informed community-based creative workshop, and is not intended to replace individual or group therapy, and is also not for emergency crisis support or intervention. * If you are comfortable with me taking photos of you and/or your artwork for learning and supervision purposes, and to offer others a sense of what the workshop is like, please let me know at the start of the session. Your participation would be greatly appreciated! * While the estimated time is 2 hours, it might overrun depending on the size of the group and the conversations we are having so please allow some grace for that.

Melbourne Startup Networking: Real Problems, Real Answers, After Work

Join founders, investors and tech talent at this curated **startup networking event in Melbourne.** Meet ambitious builders, exchange ideas and discover new opportunities in a dynamic community environment. **RSVP: [Use this link](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/melbourne-startup-networking-real-problems-real-answers-after-work-tickets-1997946739481?aff=oddtdtcreator)** **Please note that RSVP is managed via Eventbrite to control attendee lists — don’t ignore it to avoid issues with on-site payment.** You don't need permission to enter the startup world. You need one working session. The way into a founding team isn't an application — it's being visibly useful to someone who's stuck. This evening is built exactly for that: founders bring the problems they can't crack, and the room works on them together, five people at a time. **🎯 WHAT YOU GET OUT OF IT** Pricing, first hires, distribution, retention, churn — the things you've already solved at your job are exactly what's on the board tonight. Being the person who unlocks that conversation is how operators end up as co-founders, advisors and first hires. And you bring your own problem too: everyone here is both client and consultant. Yours can be "should I leave my job for a startup" — that's a real problem and the room has opinions worth hearing. **⚙️ HOW THE EVENING RUNS** Everyone submits one problem before the event, so the board is full when you arrive. The room votes, tables form — five people, one problem at a time. Two minutes to explain it, three minutes of questions only, eight minutes while the table works on it out loud and the author takes notes without defending. Halfway through, a second vote: the problems that didn't make the first round get their turn. **⏰ BUILT AROUND A WORKDAY** Doors at 7, structured part done by 9:10, bar open after. Home when you want. **🎤 NOBODY LEAVES WITH NOTHING** Near the end the host asks who still has no answer, and the room finds them a contact — by name, out loud. **🤝 MUTUAL MATCHES ONLY** You mark who you'd work with, we connect when it's mutual, within 48 hours. No cold lists, no awkward follow-ups. **📋 ONE THING IS REQUIRED BEFORE YOU COME** After booking you'll get a three-minute form in our [Mini App:](https://ascentvalley.com/community "https://ascentvalley.com/community") your problem in one line, some context, how long it's been unresolved. Only submitted problems make the board. **👥 WHO'S IN THE ROOM** Product, engineering, GTM and sales operators · solo founders looking for a commercial or product partner · builders exploring their next move · founders with teams who came to solve something specific. Hosted by **Andrew Krylow.** He greets every guest at the door, seats you at the right table, and makes the introductions. WHAT'S GUARANTEED: a curated room, two working sessions, mutual matches within 48 hours. WHAT WE DON'T PROMISE: a room full of investors. Some evenings have angels and scouts, some don't — better you know before you buy. Three rules said out loud: what's said here stays here · we share experience, not advice · switching tables mid-session is normal. Registration required. Contacts saved through the Ascent Valley Mini App inside Telegram — no new account. Ascent Valley — a founder and investor ecosystem across 20+ cities.

30 Aug: Figurine Painting and Friends-Social

**✨Are you tired of making ‘how are you’ friends? This event is for you!✨** 🎨What better way to build and deepen connections than through a fun activity like **Figurine painting**! There are many social events but it isn’t easy to feel connected to someone in a large group setting. I am super extroverted yet found myself walking home after a great social feeling more lonely, because of all the superficial connections made. I started Hue&Crew to help people build their next close-friend circle based on age, personality and interest! 🎨**What to Expect** This isn’t a big mixer event, every event has a limit of 6 people per table and a fishbowl full of conversation starters to help people get started! We move around Melbourne's many beautiful cafes weekly to keep things fresh! Expect: * A fresh, comfy venue * A hosted structure so you’re never left awkwardly quiet * A fishbowl of conversation starters for the introverts * A relaxed atmosphere where you can genuinely be yourself * Hand-painted figurines you made yourself to bring home Each group is curated to feel natural, matched by age, interest and personality 🎨**Notice before you sign up:** As the events are really small and it might take some time to form a group with similar interests, we will inform you when there is a suitable group for you! **RSVP now:** [https://forms.gle/4MN6oygujee9qmej9](https://forms.gle/4MN6oygujee9qmej9) **Take a look at our instagram page to see past public events**👇 [https://www.instagram.com/reel/DXY8PXADXsm/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DXY8PXADXsm/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==) **Bring a friend for a 10% Discount for the both of you!**

Mandala Symbolism: Personal Mandala Drawing Sessions

‘*Mandalas have been used as an aid to contemplation and meditation by various cultures all over the world for over five thousand years. The word ‘mandala’ comes from the Sanskrit word for ‘sacred or magic circle’ and represents symbolic drawing inside a circle.’* Georgina Fode Join Art Therapist and Theosophist Nina Mazurek on the first Thursday of each month for an hour of hands-on mandala work - a Melbourne Theosophical tradition first established by Georgina Fode. Within a safely held and respectful space, each attendee will be guided to create an oil crayon mandala at their own pace, in response to a chosen topic and preceded by a ‘remember who you are’ meditation. Each class will be a nurturing opportunity to explore our inner yearnings for wholeness and containment, that may help to propel self-healing and enable further understanding of the self. Drawing ability is not necessary. People with all levels of drawing skills, including those who think they can not draw at all, will benefit and progress through this work, producing mandalas with deep personal meaning; reflections of their inner journeys’ progress. Accept your mandala with love – as a gift from your unconscious. **Nina Mazurek** is an experienced presenter and workshop facilitator who has been offering beautiful creative healing services at the Melbourne Theosophical Society for over 20 years. The MTS is committed to providing events that align with and further The three objects of The Theosophical Society: * To form a nucleus of the universal brotherhood of humanity, without distinction of race, creed, sex, caste or colour. * To encourage the study of comparative religion, philosophy and science. * To investigate unexplained laws of nature and the powers latent in the human being. However this being stated, the MTS does not endorse any health, spiritual, science-related, philosophical or theological /other assertions or claims made by any facilitator we host.art
