Possibility Fellowship 2026
March 13, 2026 – May 30, 2026
Reimagining new possibilities for how we live as communities, together.
What is the Possibility Fellowship?
The course aims to offer an embodied understanding of how communing and the quality of our relationships is the foundation of community. It hopes to nourish our individual and collective capacity to adapt to the ever-changing complexities of life, finding new ways of living together that are enlivening for us all.
Is this for me?
Yes, if you....
Wish to connect more deeply with yourself and with others
Are at a crossroads in your life and looking for new direction or inspiration
Are active in community, supporting marginalised groups or advocating for change…
Are seeking to find and nourish your own voice and calling, be it in the domain of policy or politics, science or scholarship
What might the benefits be?
You are likely to:
Experience and deepen your capacity for ‘communing’ — showing up with one another with genuine appreciation and deep respect — as the foundation of community.
Make and deepen relationships within and beyond your Fellowship group, including with people from diverse backgrounds and life experiences.
Review your assumptions and perhaps see life and the world differently.
Gain confidence and inspiration for combining with others and taking meaningful action.
Play with the question “Who can I be with you, and who can you be with me?”
“Last weekend I finished the most amazing course I have done so far. Words would never be enough to express my journey throughout The Possibility Fellowship. The course was a story-filled exploration of what's possible for me and my communities, for reimagining new possibilities for me, others and the world.” – Patricia Villa
“When I started I was in limbo. Do I walk back on the path I was going on, or do I try to find something different, something new? I learned that my community work doesn’t have to be grand, that it can start from the people all around me. The Fellowship experience gave me clarity about my gifts and confidence to give them.” – Leo Wu

7:00 pm: Transform Your Relationships and Communication - Warwick
– March 16, 2026
Are you struggling with challenges in your relationships with others - at home, at work, or with friends?
Or have you had a falling out with someone you care about, and you want to heal and strengthen your relationship with them?
Or maybe your relationships are going well, but you want to deepen your connection and prevent future problems?
If so, come and join our free weekly class - a relaxed community space to explore practical tools, fresh ideas, and real conversations that help you communicate more effectively and strengthen your relationships.
This group is also advertised outside Meetup, and regulars don’t RSVP every week. So don’t worry if you don't see many attendees below - there’s always a great group there!
What You’ll Get Out of These Classes
Each week, we’ll explore key principles, techniques and skills to help you:
✅ Communicate more clearly and constructively
✅ Encourage others to open up and communicate freely with you
✅ Prevent misunderstandings, arguments and fights
✅ Navigate and handle painful emotions without shutting down or blowing up
✅ Resolve practical problems, contentious issues and conflicts in your relationships
✅ Rebuild trust, heal and strengthen your relationships
This class runs every week and focuses on a new topic each time - you’ll always learn a ton of new things and have plenty of “aha!” moments!
You can use what you learn in any relationship context (partners, families, friendships, colleagues, networks) so it’s totally fine to come if you’re single.
No previous experience or skills are needed, and people of any age, gender and background are welcome 🙂
Please note: This class is not a form of therapy or counselling. It’s a community-based space for reflection, discussion, and learning practical strategies. If you're facing a crisis or needing mental health support, please seek help from a qualified professional or support service.
What These Classes Look Like
Each class is a combination of:
👨🏼🏫 Interactive presentations
📋 Real life examples and case studies
🗨 Group discussion and Q&A
🛠 Practical exercises and activities
The classes always provide a safe and supportive environment, while being casual and fun - it's an awesome group of people!
You’ll have a great time and learn a ton of valuable stuff, and you’ll leave each class feeling clearer, more in control and really happy you came 🙂

About Your Host
Hi, I’m AJ.
I’ve been exploring relationships and communication passionately for the past 20 years, and I’ve been helping people in this area professionally for the past 10 years.
Over that time, I've built a huge base of knowledge, skills, tools and techniques, as well as developing a few systems and processes of my own.
I’m always excited to share what I've learned to help people transform their relationships and communication - and that’s what this class is all about!
I'm also passionate about contributing and having an impact. This class is my latest volunteer project, and I’d love for you to be part of it.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
I’m looking forward to meeting and connecting with you 🙂

6:45 pm: Meditation and Mindfulness - Quinns Rocks (Gumblossom Community Centre)
– March 17, 2026
A warm welcome to those who are interested in connecting with a group of like-hearted individuals to develop a meditative practice in a supportive space. This group is suitable for people over 18 years of age at both beginner and experienced levels of practice. If you are new to meditation, Kelly will offer more guidance as you explore your unique journey.
About the host Kelly loves encouraging people to develop a nurturing relationship with themselves. She is a registered and practising facilitator through Meditation Australia and has a degree in education with a special interest in supporting students at educational risk. She also holds a diploma in both holistic counselling and in coaching, mentoring and interpersonal facilitation.
What to expect Classes are free and hosted at Gumblossom Community Centre in Quinns Rocks every Tuesday evening. Participants are invited into the room at 6:45pm. We spend some time connecting with each other socially before settling in for the guided mindfulness and mediation session. Unfortunately, participants will not be able to enter the room after 7:00pm as the meditation session will be underway. This is a safe, trauma-informed space and participants are respectfully requested to not consume alcohol, drugs, cigarettes or eat foods with strong aromas such as garlic and onion before class. Perfume or aftershave can trigger allergies for participants, so not spraying yourself before class is greatly appreciated. If you have allergies or a strong preference against particular essential oils, please make this known prior to class as an aromatherapy diffuser is used to enhance relaxation. We conclude the evening just before 7:30pm with an internal or verbalised gratitude focus.
Facilities There are ample parking bays in the carpark, and clean bathroom facilities are available inside the venue. Participants are encouraged to use the facilities before entering the meditation room so we don’t disturb the space once we are settled in. It is a disability friendly venue with no stairs, but please let Kelly know if you have mobility requirements so she can ensure the class space is set up appropriately for you ahead of time.
What to bring Please bring a water bottle, comfy clothes and a cushion if you find plastic chairs uncomfortable. You are also welcome to bring your own camping chair if this is more comfortable for you. If you would like to lay down, please feel welcome to bring your yoga mat; however, be mindful that if it is a full class, there won’t be lots of space to do this. The room has adjustable air conditioning and is pleasant during cool and warm evenings. Our body temp. can fluctuate during meditation though, so bringing what you need to make yourself comfortable is encouraged. Phones need to be turned off or on silent mode. If choosing to remove your shoes, please be mindful of class participants and ensure your feet aren’t smelly!
Booking The class size is kept to a max. of 15 participants and bookings are essential. Please don't turn up to the venue if you've not reserved your space.
We look forward to meeting you and embarking on a journey of self-care together.

Enjoy the meandering peaceful bushland and flat paths that are in Henley Reserve park and bushland with friendly locals!
Mostly shady and cool, there are two paths to choose: stay on the paved path near the basketball court and playground, ideal for people with walkers, prams, crutches and wheelchairs. Or, extend your walk with a venture into the bushland trail and enjoy the serenity of tree-lined paths. The bush trail is better suited to those who don't rely on wheels to move as in some places it is soft with sand, but mostly it is solid.
The full walk will take less than an hour to do.
Bring your hat, wear sunscreen and carry water. The best parking is on Ringwood Loop. Meet at the basketball court for a quick meet and greet before moving on to the paved walk, followed by the bush walk for those eager to take on a little more of the walk.
Come along for a gentle stroll, enjoy the natural beauty of the reserve and meet others who love to celebrate the beautiful bushland of Kwinana or need a little inspiration to get mobile on an easy walking track.
Your group leader Kate looks forward to seeing you there!
NEW LOCATION. We have moved to the FOMO Food Court located at 10 William St. Fremantle (south side of the old Myer building). We meet every Thursday for an early evening meal and a social chat in Fremantle. Whether you are a Freo local or not come down for a chat and enjoy some delicious, well priced food. We like to start early to avoid the crowds. Cost can range from $10 -$15 for a decent meal. All welcome. This event is alcohol free. Look for the Befriend flag on the table.
We’re a laid-back sewing group in Butler. Everyone brings their own projects, and we help each other out when needed. All skill levels are welcome-whether you’ve never touched a sewing machine or you’re a seasoned stitcher. Just bring your own gear and fabric.
About Your Host
Hey, I’m Demi. I got into sewing about four years ago after my first bub was born-I wanted to make her some cute little outfits. I’m not a pro, but I love trying new patterns and figuring out how things go together. If you don’t have a machine yet, no stress-you can share mine to give sewing a go. I’m happy to get beginners started with easy makes like tote bags, scrunchies, or ties-just bring your fabric (and elastic for scrunchies).
What to Expect
We meet on the 1st and 3rd Thursday of each month from 6:00 pm to 8:30 pm. Bring your machine, set up, and work on your pieces at your own pace. Feel free to ask anyone for help if you get stuck. We start packing up around 8:00 pm and finish by 8:30 pm.
Got questions? Just call or text me (Demi) on 0430 948 861 or Deb on 0448300366.

The course was a story-filled exploration of what's possible for me and my communities, for reimagining new possibilities for me, others and the world.” – Patricia Villa
“When I started I was in limbo. Do I walk back on the path I was going on, or do I try to find something different, something new? I learned that my community work doesn’t have to be grand, that it can start from the people all around me. The Fellowship experience gave me clarity about my gifts and confidence to give them.” – Leo Wu

Come and join us for the healthiest “sundowner” going!
Each week we walk/roll/stroll for 60 minutes. Keep an eye on the start time as it changes every few weeks according to the time the sun sets!
We use the sealed path returning as the sun sets. There are plenty of benches with beautiful views to make use of if you prefer not to walk the whole distance – we will collect you on our way back. You are welcome to stay on after the walk to watch the changing colors of the sunset and for a chat.
We recommend comfortable shoes for walking, a hat, sunscreen and to bring water. Dogs on lead welcome. Look for the yellow Befriend flag.
This event usually attracts around 10 people so don't think you are the only one coming. (Advertised elsewhere)

Reimagining new possibilities for how we live as communities, together.
What is the Possibility Fellowship?
The course aims to offer an embodied understanding of how communing and the quality of our relationships is the foundation of community. It hopes to nourish our individual and collective capacity to adapt to the ever-changing complexities of life, finding new ways of living together that are enlivening for us all.
Is this for me?
Yes, if you....
Wish to connect more deeply with yourself and with others
Are at a crossroads in your life and looking for new direction or inspiration
Are active in community, supporting marginalised groups or advocating for change…
Are seeking to find and nourish your own voice and calling, be it in the domain of policy or politics, science or scholarship
What might the benefits be?
You are likely to:
Experience and deepen your capacity for ‘communing’ — showing up with one another with genuine appreciation and deep respect — as the foundation of community.
Make and deepen relationships within and beyond your Fellowship group, including with people from diverse backgrounds and life experiences.
Review your assumptions and perhaps see life and the world differently.
Gain confidence and inspiration for combining with others and taking meaningful action.

Gentle Somatic Yoga will meet every Saturday morning. Gentle Somatic Yoga® incorporates slow, mindful movements that unwind long held, stress-based patterns and/or injuries. Therapeutic and corrective exercises called Somatic Movement Flows® erase chronic muscle pain and significantly increase flexibility though self-correction. In Gentle Somatic Yoga® we do not intend to stretch muscles in order to achieve results. Instead, we go to the root cause of all muscular pain, which is found in the brain, and reprogram habitual patterns of stress held deep within the body (Soma). Most of the Somatic Movement Flows® are performed on the floor with a yoga mat and a blanket or beach towel which is used as support for your head and as a covering if you feel chilled.
New Time! The cafe now closes at three so I have moved our times up to allow them to pack up.
Meet me for a casual coffee or late lunch at Cafe Cafe in Subiaco. Come along for a chat or to play games. Weather permitting we will be outside. When inside, we may be upstairs if there is no room downstairs. I have a yellow flag on the table.
The cafe is directly above the Subiaco train station, across from Woolworths. There is free parking under Woolworths, or a short distance away under Coles.

Dungeons & Dragons Adventures for Kids! Is your child ready to embark on an epic journey filled with magic, monsters, and mystery? Join the Northern Suburbs Adventuring Guild for an exciting Dungeons & Dragons adventure tailored just for kids aged 9-13! Every session will be run by a selection of four Game Masters, each bringing their unique storytelling style and adventures to life while providing support during the game!
What is Dungeons & Dragons? Dungeons & Dragons is a tabletop role-playing game where your child becomes the hero of their own story! Crafting their character, teaming up with friends, and diving into a world of endless possibilities. Plus, we'll teach them how to play the game every step of the way!
All Materials Provided! No resources are required for your child to enjoy the game. Everything they need to dive into the world of Dungeons & Dragons will be provided by us. But if your child wants to bring their own character sheet we request that it is emailed to us to check over to make sure it is fair for the other kids they are playing with, there is also no internet connection available so we recommend physical sheets.
Adventure at Their Own Pace! Our adventures are designed to offer flexibility, allowing kids to participate as their schedule permits. They can come and go as they please and continue their journey with us whenever they're ready!
Parental Involvement A parent or guardian is required to stay during the sessions. While your child embarks on their adventure, enjoy complimentary tea, coffee, and water in our designated relaxation area. Please remember to bring your own cup for refreshments.
What Should They Expect!
Unleashing their creativity as they create unique characters and explore fantastical realms.
Developing problem-solving skills as they navigate challenging quests and face cunning foes.
Building new friendships in a supportive and inclusive environment. Learning valuable teamwork and communication skills as they collaborate with fellow adventurers.

Hosts list their event on a website called Meetup. It’s easy to use, free to create a profile and simple to look at all the events taking place across Perth! Whilst there isn’t an easy way to see events geographically, Hosts usually list the location of the event in the title.
You can also check out the map above, where you can look at the red pins, which mark events taking place in that area over the next 7 days.
If none of this floats your boat, then just give us a call or text, and we can help you find a local event you might be interested in!
How will I know who the Host is when I get to the venue?
Look for a yellow Befriend flag or a yellow table topper! Once a Host completes our Host training workshop, they receive a flag and/or table topper to help their group stand out from the crowd! Many Hosts are available to contact via Meetup too, so once you’ve RSVP’d to a gathering, you could always reach out to say hello and warmly introduce yourself.
Can young people and children attend?
Generally speaking, Befriend groups are for adults over the age of 18. There might be the occasional event where this isn’t the case (e.g. a picnic or end-of-year celebration) but broadly speaking, the Befriend Social Network is for adults looking to make new connections.
Are support workers and carers welcome to attend a group too?
Of course! Befriend groups really are a welcoming, comfortable space for anyone to pop along to, so if you’re supporting someone who is keen to get out and socialise, you’d be very welcome to accompany them and participate as much or as little as you’d like. You do you!
I can’t see any events I want to go to / that are happening near me. What now?
All groups taking place across The Befriend Social Network are run by local community members around Perth who have a desire and passion for getting to know people in their local community. These wonderful humans are called Hosts. Our role as an organisation is really about supporting those local people and their groups to thrive.
We aren’t able to control which events take place, when, or where they happen, as it really takes a community member just like you to put their hand up to give hosting a local group a go!
So, if there’s nothing happening in your neighbourhood that takes your fancy, you might need to travel to another suburb to find something, or, hey, maybe it’s time for you to bring The Befriend Social Network to your ‘hood and become a Host so you can put on your own group!
How many people usually go to a gathering?
Groups are generally small gatherings of between 3-15 people. It varies, depending on the activity and sometimes, how long the group has been running.
I am a carer of someone who might really enjoy participating in The Befriend Social Network. How can I connect them with you?
Thanks for thinking of us – we’d love to share more information about Befriend with anyone who has a yearning for community, is keen to experience new things, or just wants to sweeten their social life. The best way to connect us is to pass on our contact information or send them a link to our website. They’d be welcome to email, call, text, or even direct message on our social accounts! Once we’ve heard from them, a Befriendly Community Builder can get in touch for a chat and see what we can do to support their connectedness!
How do I know if an event is accessible?
Most Hosts will describe the accessibility of their event or venue in the description on Meetup. You are also welcome to reach out to the Host or to us to ask about a specific event.
I’m not on Meetup. Can I still attend?
Yes! But we recommend letting the Host know you’re coming—you can RSVP through us—so the Host knows to expect you, and if the event is cancelled or moved, you’ll get a heads‑up.
Still have a question?
You may find the answer on our general FAQ page or you can contact us via the details below!
