Recap: Sunday Pool, Euchre & Family Feud! April 13, 2014

It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon and over 40 people decided to choose this event for some fun and connection.  The event started off with people playing pool and euchre.  Family feud was played about an hour into the event.  Steve and Chris did a great job hosting family feud where everyone had fun playing and it almost felt like being on the TV show. It was great to see familiar faces and great quality people.  Everyone was very welcoming and accepting which Steve has always seemed to attract.  There was a great mixture of people from different backgrounds and cultures with a common element, everyone wanted to have fun and get along.

Chalkers Pub is great place to hold this event as it has a large space for playing euchre, good quality billiard tables, great food and drinks and a good space for family feud.  Steve does what he can to make the event a success and I believe guests can feel it.  Everyone is very appreciative these events are created to support, care and connect with each other. Steve and I want to thank Belle for taking some great pictures to post on meetup.

Recap: From Confusion to Clarity! (with Russell Scott) April 10, 2014


Who is Russell Scott?  Is he legendary, a star, an extraordinary gentleman?  He is a representation of the guru in all of us!  It's interesting how Russell's book is called "Awakening The Guru In You". His words were designed to wake us up to know who we really are.  The information was also designed to re-member what we already knew that's been stored on an unconscious level and needed to be made conscious.  He talked about what is perception and what is truth.  The perception was a packed house with 60 guests were waiting to hear some great and useful information.  The truth was, he delivered valuable content and the audience left feeling inspired, ignited and enthusiastic about exploring the magnificence of themselves.  Russell is one of the few that can entertain the crowd through singing, playing guitar and sharing great stories.  He took us on a ride using our imagination to learn how our perceptions can influence our reality.  The audience was engaged the whole night with questions, laughter and curiosity.   One of the great exercises was to focus on a chair we were sitting on and imagine a friend personally made it perfect for us, to a chair with unhealthy colours and lastly a chair sat on by one of the great guru's.  You might think of it as Steve was the friend that personally made the chair perfect for us or the event for us and knew exactly the right ingredients to make a successful night.  The unhealthy colours of the chair was our fear and confusion waiting for clarity to make our inner world a better place.  Third,the guru sitting in the chair was ourselves and Russell did a great job to remind us we can be our own inspiration.

We often get trapped in a world of bought opinions, beliefs and ideas.  The price for this can sometimes be very steep.  Furthermore, to fit into a world where a dogmatic hierarchy exists can be often limiting to finding truth and developing spiritual growth.  Russell discovered that organically we can utilize an approach called Co-evolution.  A way in which we can spiritually evolve together through a democratic practice by authentically relating to each other.  It's process is to complete any past incompleted communication experiences in our mind. Through this Co-evolution practice we can find wholeness, inner peace and feel more alive. He began his self awakening journey of writing his book at a pyramid in Lamanai, Central America.

You Are A Shining Light and The World Is Ready For Your Greatness!

This letter is from Steve Flemming dedicated to people aged 14 to 21.  After reading this, I believe it can be applied to most of us who want to be more authentic and inspired.  I'm sure these words will have you remember the magnificence of you.

This is a letter is to anyone between the ages of 14 and 21.

 Such stressful times for you I’m sure and now its even exam time, I remember the feelings.

If you are sitting in class, walking the halls, walking home, sitting on the bench, or in your room feeling bored, confused, overwhelmed, trapped, uninspired, feeling restless and unheard; please trust your feelings are completely normal and acceptable under these circumstances.

You’ve been brought into a world that values things that are not always compatible with your deeper core. Deep down you may relate to a self that wants to be free, to laugh, to create, to play, to have fun, to write, to dance, to smile, to even cry. The stuff you are being asked to study, to read, to memorize doesn’t always make sense or even resonate with you. You are not alone with these feelings, as many feel the same way as you do. Trust that within you is a source far wiser that what your authorities might be suggesting about you. You are far wiser, smarter, and unique then many would or are willing to recognize in you. We don’t need you to be something you are not. The world needs your love, your joy, your humor, your creativity, your integrity, your leadership, your questions and your solutions.

This world may not even ask you for your opinion, but don’t let that stop you; start offering it to those that will offer you the greatest gift of all, their attention. As you step forward into this new space you will find you can keep stepping forward. Not with anger, that is not required, but merely a commitment to yourself that this spark within you, although may or may not be dim right now, will never go out. Over time that spark within will shine brighter and stronger, inspiring others to have their light shine as well.

Again you may or may not here these words from family, friends, teachers or your textbooks; if you do honour them, if you don’t, it doesn’t matter. Your impulse to live more fully, and have more freedom is all that matters. Start reading what you want to read, star writing what you want to write, start playing how you want to play, start laughing how you want to laugh, and start surrounding yourself with people you truly like. Question anything and everything you feel doesn’t make sense. And when you start that first Career Job, be a good listener, but also never forget that the world needs you to be YOU, even if they don’t ask or show any indication that they value who you are. For as long as you are truly committed to being YOU, this amazing Universe will look after you, even if you still feel alone, trust me, you’re not.

Steve Flemming 4/7/14

Recap: The Downtown Spring Bash! April 5, 2014

The party was a success at the Marquis Of Granby with Steve playing some great music.  It was a cold night in the streets of downtown Toronto, but, the space was heating up with the crowd having a lot of fun.  Looking at the pictures taken at this party guests were definitely putting their best foot forward.  The Marquis of Granby has a great second floor space for a dance party and a nice size bar in another room.  There were lots of places to sit and talk with fellow friends.  Steve's group took the entire space so everyone knew that it was a meetup crew giving a more comfortable and familiar atmosphere.  There was also a request board if anyone wanted to hear their favourite song.  The Marquis of Granby staff were very accommodating and served some great food and drinks.  Steve Flemming is a name people will want to know when it comes to great events!  For more information on this party please go to www.soulcitysocial.com

The Marquis of Granby was a British soldier serving as Commander-In-Chief of the British troops.  He had a genuine humanitarian belief towards as old soldiers of his regiment as they were set up as publicans when they should have been relieved of their post. It's said there is more pubs named after The Marquis of Granby than any other person.  This pub/event was located at Church and Carlton.

Recap: The Afternoon Entrepreneurs Club! (Keys to Success) April 4, 2014

Imagine a world filled with people coming together to support each other in a way that inspired and ignited your creativity and passion.  It may not be the world coming together, but, Steve created a space that in a way the world did come together for this purpose.  This event brought people from many different occupations and backgrounds joining and connecting to give ideas, opportunities, support and friendship to whatever challenges are on the forefront.  In the event participants talked about the benefits of a mastermind group.  People coming together to give ideas, opportunities support and friendship.  What Steve really created at this event was a mastermind group.  A more intimate mastermind group might be smaller, however, participants who attended got a feeling how a mastermind group would work.  It's an important component for many because when you think of wanting to connect and fit in, what better place to do this than a group filled with passionate, empowered, motivated people to keep you on track.  Also, everyone in this group wanted to help others and make this world a better place.  There is a saying that it takes one positive enlightened person to change a million lives.  Think of how many lives are changed with a group of positive people focused on a single goal regardless of the road, product or service taken.  To learn more about this event please go to www.soulcitysocial.com

Recap: Follow Your Bliss! "The Road To Happiness" April 3, 2014

 

Remember when you were a kid and had a lot of fun doing your favourite hobby?  You spent hours and hours on it whether it be writing, singing, reading comic books, stamp collecting, photography, listening to music, swimming, painting, designing and puzzles.  You saw the beauty and creativity in one of these activities and you had no other cares in the world when you were doing your thing.  Do you wonder what ever happened to those happy times.  Did you run out of time, creating money interfered, family obligations interfered, guilt, lack of motivation, procrastination or maybe you judged the hobby as being bad and grew out of it.  If you had a magic wand and could go back to those times would you?  Perhaps you don't have to go back in time, but, can bring time forward to the present and find the hobbies you love again.  Steve created the event "Follow Your Bliss! "The Road To Happiness" to do just this.  Steve reminded us that the present is the best place to find our bliss.  Some of our hobbies may have changed to cooking, exercising, cosmetics, writing books, music or poetry and singing, however, it's only a choice away.  To open the door and seize the day means to follow your bliss and be in the flow.  Learn to get carried away with your passion by opening your heart and feeling more. What feels good to you and what hobby feels good to do.  Let go of the would/should/could and expectations of you and let your inner kid be heard again.

Recap: IMPROV in the PUB! (Skits & Sketch Comedy) March 30, 2014

 

 

 



The improv event was a blast as it started out with Steve leading an appreciation exercise.  After, I led everyone through some warm up exercises and really got their imagination ignited and inspired ready for Steve.  Steve and I are always appreciative when the guests step up to the challenge of going on stage and performing.  It didn't matter how much experience someone had, what mattered was a willingness to have fun and step a little out of the comfort zone.  In daily life we can get trapped into a routine and improv was a great way to practice something new and rewarding.  It was also done in a safe environment where everyone accepted and praised each other.  The desires of life is to co-create and at this event the guests went on a great journey fulfilling this.  There were 24 people in attendance and everyone was laughing and having a great time watching and participating.  Steve has a great gift of foresight in recognizing people's potential through any one of his different events.  Through Steve's events you can learn to walk in a positive, uplifting way through all aspects of life.  A major theme during the warm up exercises was to have everyone be a super hero.  We all can be this by being an example of greatness to others if you choose it.  Steve does what he can to guide you towards this and if you want to know more about this event please go to www.soulcitysocial.com
