Stoics in the park: NEW LOCATION- Sydney Park

Unlike other philosophies, Stoicism was named after a place not a person, making it accessible to ALL people. In ancient greco-roman times people would meet at the Stoa, where they would discuss Stoic Philosophy. We can meet in the park just as the stoic sages 1000s of years ago. Join us to read through and discuss Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. Google books has a FREE PDF you can download. No need to do any homework, we will read together and discuss. Am looking forward to hearing your thoughts. Event fee (optional) is $2, this goes to admin costs of running the group, please consider I am from Wollongong and wanted to keep this group when original organiser stepped down. I have significant travel expenses and am generally organising creative events that take resources. A gratuity would be a wonderful way to make me feel appreciated. Pay on the day, payID 0416147804, PayPal: paypal.me/jonnikaren or private message for direct deposit details. In lieu of event fee, you can buy me a coffee :)

Historic Macquarie Street

Sydney's Macquarie Street does not normally feature highly as a photography destination in our iconic Sydney. But this is a shame. Rich in Sydney's colonial history, the historic buildings on this street serve as both a reminder of the city's past but also its present and future. Join us as meet up at the State Library of New South Wales and check out the historic and new buildings on Macquarie Street as we head up the street towards Hyde Park. Architectural and street photography will be the flavour of the day. I look forward to seeing you there. James W

Social meet-up: Western Classics Book Club

A social meet-up for those who come along to the Western Classics Book Club. There is no set book to discuss. Just come along and chill. Meeting at 7.00pm. NB. We normally meet in the Long Room (the large room). Our socials normally get about 10 people, so we will meet in the 'Two Tables Room.' This is on the same level, but at the top of the stairs turn right, instead of left. Look out for the sign. Contact dalemills@cantab.net for any extra info.

Sydney Roll Into The Weekend Bowling Social

Join us for our next Sydney Roll Into The Weekend Bowling Social. We are getting together for a few casual games to shake off the work week and enjoy some downtime. Whether you are a regular bowler or haven't picked up a ball in years, this is a relaxed space to meet some new people from the Spare Time Bowling Social Club Collective and have a bit of friendly competition. The idea is to keep things low-pressure and social. We will grab a few lanes, order some drinks and snacks, and just hang out for a couple of hours. It is a great way to kick off your Friday evening before heading home or out for dinner. We have a limited number of spots reserved to keep the lanes manageable, so if you think you can make it, please RSVP so we can finalize the booking numbers. Hope to see you there.

Headlands, Mosman — Another Hidden Gem

Alive yet remote, prestigious yet humble, dynamic yet quietly focused---HEADLANDS--- a place where the ocean meets art, where creativity breathes freely, and where purity and tranquillity exist side by side. Add the charm of a little French café, and somehow, it all comes together. I've been searching for the right date for this one, and finally--- here it is. And I've decided to break my own rule and run two events this time — Saturday and Sunday. Perhaps it's a small indulgence I'm willing to allow myself, a small sacrifice for the love of art, and for the joy of sharing these hidden corners with our art lovers. Some places are simply too beautiful to let slip away. And perhaps my heart is a little too tender when it comes to art. So here we are. This time, I won't reveal too much. Some things are better discovered than described. Let the artists speak to us through their work. Let us wander from studio to studio, discover what lies behind each door, pause for a coffee and a conversation, and eventually, make our way along the coastline ---the ocean beside us, and perhaps, a little more space made in our minds. Come, with curiosity. My friends. **Our itinerary :** **11:45 am – Meet at Frenchy’s Café** One of the iconic little cafés here. We'll collect our Art Trail maps and enjoy coffee together **12:15 pm – Begin the Art Trail** Starting with Studio 1, then Studio 2, 3… and wherever our curiosity takes us. **2:30–3:30 pm – Afternoon Tea at Frenchy’s** A little pause, a little conversation, and perhaps a little reflection on what we have discovered. **3:30–4:45 pm – Sculptures & Coastal Walk** Wander among the sculptures before taking a short stroll along the coastline. **Dress code** Coastal casual with comfortable walking shoes. A hat, sunscreen, sunglasses and a light jacket are recommended. We'll be walking between studios, so please dress comfortably for the weather. * Comfortable walking shoes * Water bottle * Camera or phone (where photography is permitted) * Your curiosity and love of art **Please Note:** * **Every AAA Art Lovers Australia event is FREE to join.** * This community is proudly supported by **Alina Interpreting Australia**, whose sponsorship covers the Meetup platform and administration costs, allowing us to focus on what matters — bringing people together through art. * Participants are responsible for their own exhibition tickets, guided tours, flights, accommodation, transport, meals and personal purchases. * Please update your RSVP if your plans change. **Terms and Conditions:** By attending this event, you acknowledge and agree that: * Participation is voluntary and at your own risk. * You are responsible for your own transport, accommodation (where applicable), admission tickets, meals and personal expenses. * Please respect venue rules, fellow members, venue staff and artworks at all times. * Any shared transport or accommodation between members is a private arrangement. * The event itinerary may be adjusted if required due to venue requirements or unforeseen circumstances. * Event photographs may be taken for AAA Art Lovers Australia.

SSP TUE - CITY LIGHT & SHADOWS IN MONOCHROME : Sydney’s Little Laneways

For this photography walk, we’ll explore a very different side of Sydney CBD — its narrow laneways, hidden passages, old sandstone walls and urban spaces — with a particular focus on **light, shadow and monochrome photography**. We will follow the City of Sydney Culture Walks route **“Hidden – Sydney’s Little Laneways”**, which winds through some of the lesser-known lanes and back streets of central Sydney. Rather than concentrating on Sydney’s familiar landmarks, the aim of this walk is to look more closely at the city itself: shafts of sunlight falling between tall buildings, deep shadows in narrow lanes, repeating architectural lines, reflections, textures, silhouettes and people moving through patches of light. During the walk, we’ll look for opportunities to photograph: * strong contrasts between sunlight and shadow * people and silhouettes entering pools of light * geometric shapes, lines and repeating patterns * sandstone, brick, concrete and other urban textures * narrow laneways framed by taller buildings * reflections and layered compositions * small details that become more striking when colour is removed ### **Meeting point:** Chambers Coffee, Gateway Sydney, 1 Macquarie Pl, Sydney NSW 2000 **Start:** 10:30 am **Approximate finish:** Around 12:30 pm **Lunch:** Venue to be confirmed After the walk, anyone who would like to stay is very welcome to join us for a relaxed lunch nearby. ### Come along, slow down, watch the light, and discover some of Sydney’s hidden corners in monochrome.
