Success and Peace - Do we have to choose?

21/05/2026–21/05/2026
6:30 PM–8:00 PM
108-110 Park Street, South Melbourne
Bhakti Yoga Club

Most of us are building something.

A career. A future. A version of ourselves we hope to become.

We study. Work. Set goals. Stay productive. Try to keep up.

And from the outside, it can look like things are moving forward. But sometimes there’s this quiet question in the background:

“Why do I still feel stressed, restless, or unsatisfied even when I’m doing everything right?”

This session is a chance to explore that honestly.

Not a lecture.  
Not a motivation seminar.  
Just a practical and interactive conversation about how to build a successful life without losing your peace in the process.

 

:: What we’ll explore ::
* Why achievement doesn’t always lead to fulfilment
* Why the mind can stay busy even when life is “going well”
* Practical ways to stay grounded while studying, working, and navigating life
* What modern psychology, mindfulness, and timeless wisdom say about stress, clarity, and wellbeing

 

:: What you’ll take away ::
* A healthier and more sustainable way to think about success
* Practical tools to feel more calm, focused, and steady
* Insights you can actually apply in daily life — uni, work, relationships, and mental wellbeing

 

:: Event Details ::
Date: Thursday 21st May  
Time: 6:30 PM – 8:00 PM  
Location: 108-110 Park Street, South Melbourne  
Entry: $12 (includes discussion + dinner)
