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 🙂

Together, we explore themes such as discovering delight, embracing mystery, creating joy, welcoming imperfection, opening to beauty, awakening awe, and many other topics centred on positive emotions.
You’ll find resources and conversation tools to support intentional engagement, along with opportunities to share stories and learn from others in a warm, supportive environment.
Some months, we take what we learn and weave it into creative projects, and there are always heartfelt poems to share.
This is a welcoming space for everyone, where like-minded friends gather- a place where we foster a vibrant community by connecting with those on a similar journey towards a grateful life.

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.

Pop Up Community Lounge – Wednesday's at Bertram

Every Wednesday we swing open the doors at William Bertram Community Centre and invite the community in for something refreshingly simple — a no-agenda space.

Just come as you are.
Pull up a chair and enjoy a cuppa, settle in for a chat, or browse the shelf and challenge someone to a friendly game. You might like to curl up with a book, meet someone new, or simply enjoy a relaxed moment in good company.

The Pop Up Community Lounge is a space to slow down, linger a little longer and connect with others from your community. The conversation flows, some days the games table fills up and other days people simply enjoy a quiet moment — and that’s exactly how we like it.

No bookings, no pressure, just an open door and a warm welcome.
Come along, go with the flow and see where the day takes you.

Hello there. If you’re reading this, there’s a good chance you’re out here looking for a new and exciting way to spend an evening, and that’s what we’re here to provide. Do you enjoy card games? Do you want to meet more likeminded people? Are you sick of me asking questions? Then let’s talk 😊

First thing is first… our names are Jordan and Ella. We’re here to hopefully bring together a nice little community of people who like having a nice social catch up with people who enjoy the same things, and enjoy having a laugh whilst playing unconventional (but also normal as well) tabletop games. We want to play some fun little card games with likeminded people, have a laugh, and quite possibly even make some new friends along the way.

We have discussed some games that we could play, and a good few of them are a bit unconventional, but absolutely fun. We will still have the normal games like Uno and other classic favourites, but we have other lesser-known games such as Chocobo’s Crystal Hunt, Love Letter (not as romantic as it sounds but you will still fall in love with it), and many others.

There’s a lot that we could say about the operations behind our game night, but we’ll just give a TL;DR version for those of you who are already fed up with the amount of reading you’ve done so far. This is what we have so far:

  • Time: 6pm-8pm
  • Day: Every second Wednesday
  • Location: Ocean Keys shopping centre food court

If you think there’s anything that we’ve missed, please let us know and we will throw in that extra information. With all of that said, if you have any other questions, queries, suggestions, or just want to discuss things further, don’t even thing about hesitating to get in contact with Ella (0478637425) or Jordan (0407868818) by phone, or even send us a message on Meetup. We will do our absolute best to get back to you. Looking forward to hearing from you all, and looking way more forward to meeting you all in person.

As a side note - please confirm via a direct message if you are coming or not, as we’d love to know who's coming in advance 😊

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.

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?”

 

Please download the full fellowship PDF here

What past participants had to say:

“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.”

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.

This is the final week of a 6 Week course, and therefore registration is only open to those who have already attended previous classes in this course.

To kick off 2026, we're teaming up with Gosnells Women's Collective to bring you the Short Course in Mindful Self-Compassion.
So, if you’d like to make friends with yourself, show up for yourself, and put yourself at the top of your To Do List in 2026, this is a great way to discover practices that will help you do just that.
On Saturday afternoons over six weeks, join us on this journey where we warmly explore the art, science, and practice of self-compassion. Together, we'll build self-confidence, nurture self-worth, and ease the stress of daily life.

Week 1: Discovering Self-Compassion
We’ll explore the circles of self-compassion: self-kindness instead of self-judgment, common humanity over isolation, and open presence versus over-identification.

Week 2: Practising Self-Compassion
We'll dive into how self-compassion and self-criticism affect us physically and learn gentle, mindful ways to soothe our nervous systems.

Week 3: Finding Your Compassionate Voice
This week, we'll uncover our inner compassionate voices. We'll see how self-criticism can protect yet limit us, and learn to motivate ourselves with kindness.

Week 4: Embracing Our Full Selves
We'll gently turn towards all our emotions, even the tough ones. Together, we'll learn to recognise, name, and safely soothe our feelings.

Week 5: Self-Compassion and Burnout
We'll explore sustainable self-care to prevent or heal burnout, and introduce a practice called “compassion and equanimity.”

Week 6: Making it Count
In our final week, we’ll reflect on and discuss our core values, crafting a personal core values list. We'll set intentions to continue nurturing self-compassion in our lives.

Please make sure to let us know you're coming so we can make sure we have space and resources for you.

This experience will be led by Befriend’s Community Enrichment Facilitator, Karen, who is a qualified teacher with the Centre for Mindful Self-Compassion. This course is based on the Short Course in Mindful Self-Compassion created by Dr Kristin Neff and Chris Germer, founders of the Centre for Mindful Self-Compassion in the US.

S Swing those hips
T Triumphant, Talented
P Passionate, Proactive, Playful

This is about being glammed up - dressing in evening wear, bringing a plate of food to share, sensible drinking, and your phone nicely charged up. Meeting mid-morning - possibly at a beach, park, or an interesting building.

By now you will be curious!!!

How this started. I sort of bumped into some amazing dresses at the Op shop and as the price was so cheap...they came home with me 🙂

I asked my gfs to join me to dress up, bring our own food etc, and get together and take photos. We have done this multiple times - it has been such a giggle - and photos to prove it!

I now wish to share this fun quirky event with more ladies in the community.

Please note: The fun, frolics and unity works with a minimal of 4 ladies for it to go ahead - that includes the smile snatcher

Aroma Creations Workshops – Butler
This weeks Creation - A beautiful Pulse point oil to use as a perfume or for a specific purpose. Options available to suit your needs.

Hello and welcome 🌿

I’m Silvana, an aromatherapist based here in Perth. I’ve been working with essential oils for many years, both professionally and personally, and I’m passionate about helping others experience their beautiful, practical, and therapeutic benefits in a safe and supportive way.

Aroma Creations Workshops are held every second Sunday, starting 15th March, from 2:00pm – 4:00pm in Butler.

These are gentle, hands-on gatherings where we create beautiful products using pure essential oils.

Each session focuses on creating one product, allowing time to learn, blend safely and mindfully, and enjoy the experience without feeling rushed. Across the workshops we will rotate through creations such as:

• Pulse point oils
• Natural perfumes
• Face products
• Room sprays
• Hand and body lotions
• Foaming cleansers
• Aromatic inhalers

These workshops are not just about making products — they are about slowing down, learning, connecting and creating something meaningful for yourself.

You can expect:
• A calm, welcoming space
• Clear safety guidance and education around essential oils
• Step-by-step support (no experience needed)
• Time to explore scents intuitively and creatively
• Small group connection and relaxed conversation

This workshop may be perfect for you if:
• You’re curious about essential oils and want to learn how to use them safely
• You enjoy natural self-care and handmade products
• You’re looking for a gentle, creative way to unwind
• You value mindfulness and holistic wellbeing

This may not be the right space if you are highly sensitive to scents or prefer unscented environments, as we will be working with aromatic materials.

Investment: $20 per session (all materials included).
Places are limited to 10 participants to keep the space comfortable and supportive.

To secure your spot, please me directly on 0419 045 607.

My intention is to create a warm, inclusive space where everyone feels welcome — whether you come alone or with a friend.

I look forward to creating with you 🌿
