Begin with light yoga stretches and pranayama to ease the nervous system and bring you back into your body, then settle into kirtan mantra meditation led by the Immersion Mantra Band - a live blend of drums, cymbals and strings that makes the practice accessible whether you've chanted before or never heard a mantra in your life. The morning closes with a freshly cooked vegetarian brunch, mostly vegan and gluten-free, shared with good company.

No experience needed. All ages welcome. Free parking on site.

Hosted by Bhakti Corner, Kirtan Beats brings people together through the ancient call-and-response practice of kirtan, where rhythmic mantras and melodic vocals create a collective experience that's equal parts grounding and uplifting.

The evening closes with a lovingly prepared plant-based dinner, giving the gathering a warmth that lingers well beyond the music. Entirely volunteer-run and offered by donation, this is community in its most honest form - no algorithm, no agenda, just people showing up for each other.

New to kirtan? You'll feel welcome from the first note.

By donation.

What begins as a neighbourhood café serving specialty coffee, house-made pastries and a standout strawberry matcha, reveals itself as something far more extraordinary: - a sprawling converted warehouse reimagined as a Hogwarts-worthy library, complete with treehouse nooks and whimsical touches at every turn.

More than just a pretty space, O3 operates on a community-first philosophy. Its membership model fosters a genuine sense of belonging, drawing students, creatives, freelancers and curious wanderers into a shared rhythm of focus and connection. This is Melbourne's original "third place" - not home, not office, but somewhere that somehow feels like both.

You have to see this one in the flesh to appeciate it. Do yourself a favour and pay it a visit sometime soon!

I’ve been tracking the local transport data for my urban design major at RMIT. Overcrowding on regional lines was a mess at the start, but overall, it actually got a lot of people to leave their cars at home during the worst of the fuel crisis.

For me, it proved that if you make sustainable transit accessible, people will change their habits. But now that we have to start tapping on again (even at half price), are we just going to slide right back into gridlock on the Monash? Should public transport just be permanently free as a climate and community service? 🚇🍃

If you are Bayside and are looking for a beautiful midweek, mindful practice to anchor yourself, this is a fantastic option.

Also, a great way to get a taste of Vipassana if you are contemplating a 10 day course.
