A brief presentation followed by discussion on the topic of Forgiveness. Forgiveness is often said to be a Christian value, and it's not specifically mentioned in the Declaration of Modern Humanism, yet it is included as one of the 9 values of Humanists Australia. Why is it there, and what does it mean for Humanists?

End of Year Picnic

Black Mountain Peninsula

Please join us for our casual end-of-year picnic lunch at Burwood Park. This will be our final event of the year - a chance to catch up, meet new people, and relax with like-minded people, and have a good time.

We'll provide some basic food supplies. But also feel free to bring food and drinks (we encourage you to bring something to share) and please bring your own picnic rug if you have one.

**Location:**
The park is conveniently located a short walk from Burwood station. There is also on-street parking available around the park. (If you've been to one of our cafe events before, it's the park directly in front of the cafe.) A more precise location in the park will be provided on the day.

We look forward to seeing you there.

End-of-year Community Picnic!!

Burwood Park 

myTala delves into the power of personal history in shaping our lives. By sharing our stories in person for three to five minutes, we can uncover hidden strengths, reframe challenges, and create a more fulfilling future.

myTala highlights the importance of meaning-making, connecting past experiences to the present and future. By understanding our values, relationships, and challenges, we can cultivate a sense of purpose and direction to live a full life in the present.

One powerful tool used in myTala is the exploration of personal objects. These objects can evoke memories and emotions, offering a window into the past. By reflecting on these objects, participants can identify strengths and resources they may have overlooked, empowering them to create a more positive future.

Escape the busyness of the day, and the schedule of the week, during your one hour lunch break and join us at:
