Community eventTertulia: Conozcámonos - Picnic en el parque
Sunday 15 November · 10am–12:30pm
Melbourne
Un espacio para conectar, conversar y compartir Si alguna vez has sentido que te gustaría tener más amigas, o conectar con mujeres que puedan comprender una parte de tu historia, este encuentro es para ti. A veces podemos estar rodeadas de personas y aun así sentirnos solas. Construir una vida en otro país requiere tiempo, valentía y mucha adaptación. Y en medio de todo eso, también necesitamos espacios donde podamos bajar el ritmo, ser nosotras mismas y sentir que pertenecemos. Por eso nace Transformarnos y nuestro evento "Tertulia de Mujeres", un encuentro para mujeres que desean conectar desde un lugar auténtico, crear nuevas amistades y cultivar una comunidad donde podamos acompañarnos en esta experiencia de vivir lejos de casa. ¿Qué viviremos juntas? Movimiento somático: un espacio para volver al cuerpo, escuchar lo que sentimos, liberar tensiones y conectar con nosotras mismas a través del movimiento consciente. Conversaciones conscientes: Un espacio para escuchar y ser escuchadas, sin juicios ni expectativas, recordando que nuestras vivencias también pueden ser un puente para conectar con otras mujeres. Baño de sonido: una experiencia de relajación y escucha profunda, acompañada por sonidos y vibraciones que nos invitan a hacer una pausa y regalarnos un momento de calma. Picnic en el parque: compartiremos al aire libre, disfrutando de la naturaleza, de una buena conversación y de la alegría de encontrarnos. Más que un evento, queremos cocrear una comunidad. Transformarnos es una comunidad de mujeres de habla hispana en Melbourne donde podamos crear vínculos reales, apoyarnos mutuamente, divertirnos, conectar y sentir que tenemos un lugar al que podemos volver. Un espacio que construiremos juntas, desde la diversidad de nuestras historias, nuestras culturas y nuestras formas de vivir. No necesitas conocer a nadie, tener experiencia en prácticas conscientes, ni llegar con nada preparado. Puedes venir tal como eres: con curiosidad, con ganas de conocer nuevas pe

The Dandenong Ranges Loop winds through the towering Mountain Ash and cool temperate rainforest of Dandenong Ranges National Park, taking in the exotic trees of the RJ Hamer Arboretum, lush fern gullies, and sweeping views over Silvan Reservoir. This event is designed for people who enjoy getting outdoors, meeting new people, and challenging themselves at their own pace.

Unfortunately we're unable to accommodate pets, though registered assistance animals are welcome. Walk Difficulty This is considered a moderate walk, with some sustained uphill sections along forest trails and dirt roads. Approx. 11km loop Mix of gravel tracks, forest trails, and some on-road walking (dirt roads) Allow around 3.5–4 hours depending on pace Reasonable fitness recommended We'll take breaks as needed, including a stop at the RJ Hamer Arboretum and the Silvan Reservoir lookout, and keep the group together.

Community eventCountry, community and care: Landscape recovery after the Longwood fire
Sunday 15 November · 6:30pm–9:30pm
Northcote
Join us for a very special Syrian banquet meal, as we raise funds to support landscape recovery work by the Strathbogie Ranges Conservation Management Network (SRCMN) after the 2026 Longwood bushfire. • A delicious Syrian banquet (vegetarian options included) • Local experts Bertram Lobert and Helen McKernan on what was lost and what is recovering • Live music. Conversation. Raffle with art prizes In January this year the Longwood fire burnt through more than 130,000 hectares of bushland and farmland north-east of Seymour, about 2 hrs from Melbourne. The social and human impacts were immense, with hundreds of houses and structures destroyed, and one death. Fire on this scale is deeply traumatising for people and communities. The fire also had profound impacts on native plants and animals and the fungi. Much bushland in the fire area exists as small forest patches and roadside corridors, and many of these burnt. Many native plants can recover from fire, and although some animals can escape or hide, and then return many species may be lost to the area. A huge impact is from the loss of the many big, old trees and dead stags that were burnt to the ground. These provided the tree hollows that are essential habitat for many birds and mammals, including critically endangered Greater Gliders. Tragically, several local populations of gliders were wiped out completely by the fire. At this event you’ll hear from local ecologist Bertram Lobert about the plants and animals of the Longwood area, why they’re special, and what we know about the fire impacts and the early recovery. And you’ll hear from SRCMN President Helen McKernan about some fungi research and community efforts to support recovery going forward. Reconnecting to Country can support healing for fire-affected communities. This is your chance to hear the stories and support the work. Funds raised will enable SRCMN to purchase additional monitoring equipment (trail cams) and deliver training to landholders and citizen
