Free Beach Sunrise Meditation every Saturday at 6.30am.
From the host/organiser;Welcome to 'the Sit.'
We invite you to join us every Saturday at 6.30am to Sit, Breath and Connect.Our facilitators provide an enriching start to your weekend by facilitating a very easy to follow 20 minute meditation session.
Perfect for beginners of first-timers - but also welcoming experienced meditators as we share the group wisdom and space together. Come and enjoy this opportunity to connect with self, with each other and to nature.
A very practical and accessible approach to connection and taking some time to turn off the autopilot and the challenges of day-to-day life, and instead experience the magic of the present moment.
Before the Session
We will have a complete run-through of the meditation practice for the day and introduce the theme of the week.Themes include: Sharing, Gratitude, Earth Care and Kindness.
Bring with you whatever you need to feel comfortable based upon the weather. We are there rain, hail or shine.After the session
We often enjoy coffee, a swim and just taking some time to connect after the session.... so bring the bathers, towel and a keep cup!Join the community social groups for more details:

www.facebook.com/groups/newcastlefriendssocialgroupAbout this musical performance
As the harvest is brought in and the nights grow longer, a charismatic figure will be traversing the Australian east coast, bringing with him a deep expertise of various musical traditions. With his clear, bardic voice, deeply imbued sense of rhythm, infectious enthusiasm, and intense devotion to his craft, Tasmanian troubadour Jesse McCormack performs folk songs from England, Sweden, Ireland, Scotland, and the bizarre realm of his imagination. A thoroughly accomplished wandering minstrel, Jesse has sung his heart out for many years on stages all over south-eastern Australia and north-western Europe, making memorable connections with his audiences wherever he goes. His music escorts listeners into a folkloric experience of druidic storytelling, conjuring a sound reminiscent of artists such as Steeleye Span or Loreena McKennitt and vibes of bohemian Achilleanism.
This is a free event but please consider a donation to Jesse.
I hosted Jesse at my home several years ago where he put on an intimate performance for a group of people from my social group. The owner of Thirsty Messiah has graciously agreed to have Jesse perform at his venue. The music kicks off at 7.30pm, but feel free to get there early to snag a good seat and a tasty beverage - I know I will!
Enjoy an exciting range of craft beer with 40 taps! A style to suit everyone including ales, German, lagers, stouts and sours, along with a choice of cider, ginger beer, gin and tonic.
Enjoy a range of tasty food options including burgers, pizza and schnitzels.
Bring your friends!
