The Collage Circle — Create. Reflect. Connect.
Sat, Aug 1, 12:00 AMA space to slow down, create, and reconnect with yourself. Through the simple act of flipping through magazines, cutting out images and words that resonate, and assembling them into personal collages, we explore our stories, emotions, dreams, and inner worlds. No artistic experience is needed—just curiosity. Together we’ll use collage as a tool for self-expression, reflection, journaling, and healing, creating a mindful break from the noise of our fast-paced, technology-driven lives. We’ll gather around a table with magazines, scissors, paper, and glue, and simply start exploring. Browse through the magazines, cut out any images, words, colours, or textures that catch your attention or resonate with you, then arrange them into a collage that feels meaningful to you. There are no prompts, no right or wrong way to do it, and no artistic experience is needed. This is an inward journey—a chance to slow down, work with your hands, and enjoy a peaceful, creative space away from the constant noise of everyday life. At the end, anyone who would like to share their collage or talk about their experience is warmly invited to, but there’s absolutely no pressure. You’re welcome to simply create, reflect, and enjoy the process.

Central / Surry Hills Classic Film Photography
Fri, Aug 7, 12:00 AMThe challenge for today is to capture street images around Central Station, Belmore Park and Surry Hills. Look for the unusual and let your images tell a story. If you feel comfortable enough you could ask a subject for their portrait. The meet up point is the cafe outside the country platforms at 10 am. It is next to the Eternity Cafe. I would recommend monochrome film at 400 ASA or ISO. Hp 5 by Ilford works well as well as Kodak Tri X. It gives a grain effect similar to mid 20th Century film emulsions. I would consider developing the negatives and getting the images scanned to your computer which you can then upload to the meetup page or Instagram. If you have an image, you particularly like you can pick up the negatives from your camera store later. I would recommend Digi Direct at Bondi Junction or Super 8 at Newtown. It is more challenging using film but that is part of the fun. If you don't own a film camera there are two stores in Newtown that sell refurbished 35 mm film cameras or alternatively you can buy a disposable film camera on line or try the two retail stores I suggested earlier. Why not give it a try as there will be more film events in the future.
Ryde NFP Leaders Connect
Tue, Aug 4, 12:00 AMPurpose Without Profit Isn't Sustainable. Profit Without Purpose Isn't Meaningful. For years we've been told there's a choice. You can build a profitable business, or you can build a purpose-driven one. This isn't true. The businesses creating the greatest impact today understand something different. Purpose gives you direction. Profit gives you sustainability. One without the other rarely lasts. It shouldn't be so hard to do good, but that's exactly what it feels like running a Not-for-Profit (NFP).

We’re bringing together Local NFP Community leaders like you, to enjoy networking with your peers to build new relationships, open opportunities for collaboration, and to celebrate the launch of **NFP Ocean** and our Community Connection program of events.

It's a chance to: * Strengthen your local connections * Gain practical insights you can apply immediately * Meet other leaders navigating similar challenges * Be part of shaping a more connected and supported NFP community Do you believe businesses should actively pursue purpose alongside profit, or should they remain separate? Whether you're a business leader, consultant, technology provider, accountant, lawyer, marketer, or an NFP leader, this conversation is relevant to you. We look forward to meeting you there and build something meaningful together. RSVP now to secure your spot (seats are limited).
