WHERE: Model Yacht Pond, Centennial Park

Help us celebrate the end of a full year of rekindled Less Wrong Sydney! We will be holding a Summer Solstice event, Sat 21st in Centennial Park.

Come along from 6pm to have dinner and socialise, then watch the sun go down at 8pm, and take part in a final end of year group activity. We will be supplying candles and Less Wrong members can hold the floor and deliver a reading, a focused exercise, etc.

Please leave a comment with the type of exercise you'd like to run (or if you have an idea you'd like to suggest someone else picks up and runs).

If you know anyone else outside of Less Wrong who you think would enjoy the evening please invite them along also!

It's possible, but well-hidden.

Any given meetup seems to have two pages. One is the discussion article, and one is the meetup page. For your meetup, these pages are:

http://lesswrong.com/lw/lbr/meetup_sydney_rationality_dojo_approaches/

http://lesswrong.com/meetups/17g

You can edit from the meetup page: there should be a link right below the map. Changes you make will propagate to the discussion article.

The meetup page is the one that gets linked to from http://lesswrong.com/meetups/ , and the discussion article is the one found on your overview page. Where the discussion page says "discussion article for the meetup :", the meetup title is an unmarked link to the meetup page.

Thank you, that fixed the problem! Maybe the link should be larger or placed in a different location. My guess is I didn't parse it because of its proximity to the map where you usually get map-related links.

Several times now I've had problems with meetups posting with the wrong times, and then been unable to fix them. Am I missing something on the meetup page that I could go to to correct the meetup, or is this impossible at the moment? Alternatively, is this something a moderator can do, and if so, who should I speak to, to get a meetup fixed?

This month we'll have the first ever dojo run by John August. Given that this dojo won't use material in the previous ones, it's a great opportunity to come along and be able to get right into it. As per usual, there will be an optional group dinner after the end of the dojo (6pm) for those who can make it.

The next dojo will be run by our new CFAR alumnus Taryn, who will be talking about focused grit and trigger action planning. Now is a great time to come if you have been considered coming before but haven't yet made it!

Afterwards (6pm) there will be an optional group dinner for those who are interested.

Taken the survey (would have loved to do digit ratio, but too difficult to get access to the equipment needed).

We'll be examining how to connect your desire for goals or outcomes to specific emotional urges to perform the actions to bring about that outcome.

After the session is over, there will also be an optional group dinner.

This time around we will be looking at how to establish or replace habits. I personally think the ability to establish habits deliberately is crucially useful in crafting the life you want.

As per usual, we will be having an optional dinner after the main event.
