نقد القوة: رسائل فلسفيّة إلى الضعفاء - سعيد ناشيد
اقترح الكتاب ويدير الحوار حازم ابراهيم
الكتاب يتوفر مطبوعا والكترونيا (يرجى متابعة الرابط للتفاصيل)
صدرت في السنوات القليلة الماضيّة عشرات الكتب التي تحمل عناوين: "كن قويّا"، "كوني قويّة"، "كيف تكون إنسانًا قويًّا؟"، "كيف تبني شخصيّة قويّة؟"، "كن قويًّا بالإيمان"، إلخ...
لكن...
بصرف النظر عن تلك الكتب، وعمّا يقوله الأطباء والمحلّلون النفسانيون، وخبراء التنمية البشرية، والواعظون... فإنّ الفلسفة، بمعناها العميق والأصيل، تقول شيئًا آخر:
لا تحاول أن تكون قويًا، لا تحاول أن تظهر بمظهر القوّة، لا تحاول أن تتحكّم في كل الأمور المحيطة بك... فالحياة لا تقوم على القوة بل على الأسلوب، وعلى التكيّف، وعلى المرونة.
القوّة منزع ذكوريّ، وإيديولوجيّ، إنه وهمٌ بدائيٌّ، لا يزال كامنًا في لا وعي الإنسان من حياته البدائية، يظهر جليًا في معارك السلطة والحظوة والشهرة والدين، إلّا أنه وهمٌ يُضيّع متعة الأسلوب والتفاصيل، ويُدمّر جودة الحياة. إنه ينهك روحك، يستنزف جسدك ويُسبب الشقاء للكثيرين.
هذا الكتاب الذي يحمل رسائل إلى الذين يعتبرون أنفسهم المعذبين في الأرض... وغير المحظوظين... والضعفاء... هو محاولة لبرهنة أن ليس في الضعف أي مشكلة؛ بل المشكلة في اعتبار أن الضعف هو المشكلة. وهو أيضًا دليلك لأجل أن تتصالح مع ضعفك، وأن تستثمر الطاقة الكامنة والهائلة في كل نقاط ضعفك إذا كنت لا تريد أن تخسر معارك حياتك.

OSHO Kundalini Meditation
**Event Details**
Online via Zoom
**Timings**
UAE 4:45 PM
India 6:15 PM
UK 1:45 PM
***
### ✨ The Experience
We begin with a gentle introduction, allowing the body and mind to settle.
From there, you will be guided into a dynamic meditative journey where movement, breath, and awareness come together to release suppressed energy and restore natural flow.
The session concludes with optional sharing and reflection.
**Flow for the Session**
4:45 – 5:00 PM: Introduction
5:00 – 6:00 PM: Kundalini Meditation
Followed by Q&A (optional)
***
### 🌿 What is Active Meditation?
Many of us carry deeply held emotions, unresolved experiences, and inner tension.
When we sit in silence, these often rise to the surface, making stillness feel difficult.
OSHO Active Meditations offer a different pathway.
Through movement, shaking, and free expression, the body begins to release what has been held within. Energy begins to flow freely, rising, bringing lightness, openness, and a sense of inner freedom.
From this space, silence arises naturally—effortless and deeply nourishing.

Speed Business Networking DIFC - Let's grow your business together!
IMPORTANT: If you RSVP, it is essential that you attend or update your RSVP status at least one day before the networking session. For an optimal networking experience, we need at least 20-25 participants. If you RSVP and do not attend, it is not fair to those who are punctual and turn up as they said they would. Please be mindful and only RSVP if you are confident you can attend.
7:30 PM to 9:30 PM (PLEASE, BE ON TIME!)
Concrete Restaurant
Burj Daman Tower
DIFC, Dubai
Located on Ground Floor (VIEW MAP - https://maps.app.goo.gl/3u5DZgQrvJPLrv1U6)
**Parking:** 2 hours of free parking are available in the building.
It's fast, it's fun, and the best thing about it is that you get to pitch to many different people within a short period.
All that you need is your business cards (not compulsory) and your presence.
Typically, you would meet many different people, spending only 2 - 3 minutes with each, and it's a great way to meet others. You speak to the person in front of you, and when the bell rings, you move to your left to speak to the next person. View Video of past events (https://youtu.be/ImZAe4OQ1qg).
This gives you a great chance to network with business owners and decision-makers to find the clients, vendors, and professionals you need most.
**Cost: AED 70 cash** (Includes Coffee, Tea, Soft Drinks or Water)
Remember to tell your friends, colleagues and associates and bring lots of business cards!
How to get there: (VIEW MAP - https://maps.app.goo.gl/3u5DZgQrvJPLrv1U6)
IMPORTANT RULES ON TIMING, NO-SHOWS AND CANCELLATION:
1. Please, be on time, so that we can start promptly at 7.30 pm.
2. If you have never been here before, then arrive early, so that you can find us.
3. If you have RSVP'd as "YES" and then do not show up, you will be removed and banned from this group, as it shows you are not professional enough to be a part of this group. You can easily change the status if you know that you may not make it. This is important as we have to make prior reservations at the venue.
4. People arriving late may not be able to join in if we have already begun, as that ruins the flow and transitions around the tables. By allowing people to join late results in meeting the same person twice and missing out on others, which is unfair for those who arrive on time.
Any questions, please call OR WhatsApp Vlad on +971 56 693 0866.
About the Organisers - Vlad Tashakov and Oksana Tashakova are organisers of this successful event and also founders of [QPQ International](https://qpq.international/), Wealth Dynamics Unlimited and Millionaire Summit.

What If Your AI Could Be a Team? - Chad Green
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise.
We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration.
Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team.
