The personal communication and dating world is evolving rapidly. We’re moving from exhausting repetitive small talk to sophisticated personal AI agents and digital alter-egos. It’s time to sync up and discuss how to build, evaluate, and scale an open-source "second brain" for authentic human connection. ​Join us for a deep dive into personal knowledge graphs, agentic memory, and hands-on experiences in building your digital twin. We will discuss how to apply recent suggestions by Andrey Karpaty https://www.mindstudio.ai/blog/andrej-karpathy-llm-wiki-obsidian-ai-second-brain to dating and mactchmaking in agentic style. ​Key Topics: ​**Personal Knowledge Bases & Agentic Memory:** Practical patterns for moving beyond basic RAG (like NotebookLM) to robust, updateable memory systems (Supabase, MCP) to handle fact deduplication, source tracking, and hallucination reduction. ​**The "How Would I Answer?" Engine:** Crafting precise instructions and tone-of-voice guidelines so your agent can extract factual history and draft sincere, engaging responses that truly reflect who you are. ​**Multi-Agent Verification Pipelines:** Using parallel LLM evaluations to independently score generated messages. Measuring what matters: "How naturally does this read?" and "Does this align with the goal of being sincere and attractive?" ​**Digital Alter-Egos & Agent Matchmaking:** Exploring the future of compatibility—from giving agents the ability to "sniff each other out" for goal alignment, to the ultimate objective of using AI to make us calmer, more present, and less reliant on screens. ​Open Discussion: Bring your own use cases, failures, and breakthroughs. Whether it's extracting facts from thousands of personal chat logs without losing context, managing fragmented LLM memories, or building the perfect verification harness for your digital twin — let’s figure it out together.

Instagram: @cercleahimsa Vine a gaudir i compartir una sessió basada en el ioga i en l'energia del cicle lunar. Cada setmana fem una sessió diferent aprofitant el moment lunar en el qual ens trobem, per exemple lluna plena: agraïment, lluna minvant: deixar anar... El pes central de la sessió està en la pràctica de ioga, però també fem una meditació profunda d'uns 10 min mínim i una conclusió de la sessió expressada a través de l'escriptura terapèutica o de l'expressió artística. Som un màxim de 8 persones i així creem espais de confiança i d'obertura on, a través del cos i el moviment, anem apropant-nos al camí de l'autoconeixement i la pau. Instagram: @cercleahimsa

**Insight Circling ✨** What if **being with others** could become a path to **deeper connection**, **clarity**, and **inner knowing**? **Insight Circling** is a **relational mindfulness practice** in the form of a conversation. It is an invitation to connect more deeply with yourself and others, and to explore what happens in the present moment as we relate together. We practice noticing, without judgement, what is happening **within us and between us** right now. This may include observing: ✨ Sensations in the body ✨ Emotions as they arise ✨ Thoughts and inner narratives ✨ The subtle dynamics of connection with others By becoming more aware of our present-moment experience, we begin to understand ourselves more fully, lead ourselves more wisely, and cultivate trust in our own inner knowing. **What we’ll do** 🌱 Each session begins with gentle exercises that help us arrive, settle, and connect. Together we gradually develop our capacity to: 🍀 Be present with what is 🍀 Listen deeply to ourselves 🍀 Listen deeply to others 🍀 Speak from authentic experience 🍀 Stay connected in real-time relationship **This practice can support you to 💛** ✨ Connect more deeply with your emotions ✨ Feel more at ease and aligned in body and mind ✨ Receive inspiration and fresh insight ✨ Strengthen intuition and decision-making ✨ Improve relationships and connect more deeply with others ✨ Become unstuck in different areas of life and take meaningful action **Why I love this practice 🌟** I spent many years meditating, but when I discovered this practice it felt like a revelation — a missing piece. It helped me become aware of how I relate to others, how I create my life, and how presence can transform connection. **About the practice 🍀** This practice is inspired by **Circling**. Further information here: **[https://www.transformationalconnection.com/](https://www.transformationalconnection.com/)** Join us on this beautiful journey of discovering ourselves. **Good to know 📍** ✨ No previous experience is necessary ✨ This event will be held in **English** ✨ Offered by **voluntary** **donation** ✨ Places are limited Please RSVP here **and** message me on WhatsApp to confirm your place: 📲 +34 667 840 756 Numbers shown here may not always be accurate, as the event may also be shared elsewhere. The event may be cancelled if fewer than **4 people** are confirmed. **Please read 🙏** We begin on time, and the session builds from the opening practices, so late arrivals won’t be able to join once we’ve started. By signing up, you agree to respect the confidentiality of all participants and not share personal information outside the group. I may occasionally take photos to share here. If you’d prefer not to appear, just let me know beforehand. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me. **About me 🌟** I am a qualified **Transformational & Career Coach**, trained in London in 2016. My own journey has included changing both career and country in order to live more in tune with who I truly am. I bring that lived experience into my work. I’m passionate about helping people connect deeply to themselves, uncover their creativity, and bring their gifts into the world through meaningful work. I have practiced meditation for over **20 years**, and spent **5 years** living and helping facilitate a retreat centre on a tiny island in Scotland, established by a Tibetan Buddhist monastery — one of the pioneers of mindfulness in the UK. I believe meditation and mindfulness are powerful tools for gaining clarity, focus, and the space to listen deeply within. They have certainly helped me a great deal. 🌟 **[www.freeyourflow.org](http://www.freeyourflow.org/)**

Si t'interessa aprendre a combatre, emular les lluites de les teves pel·lícules favorites, lluitar amb espasa, subjectar un escut, dominar els secrets de l'equilibri de peus o fer fitnes d'un mode diferent; el Softcombat i el Rol en Viu són una activitat que has de provar. **És durant el matí de 11h a 13.30h quan major quantitat de participants es reuneixen.

Lo que comemos influye directamente en nuestra energía, claridad mental, estado emocional, rendimiento físico y bienestar general. En un mundo donde muchas veces comemos con prisa, estrés o desconexión, la alimentación consciente nos invita a recuperar la relación con nuestro cuerpo, aprender a escucharlo y entender cómo nuestros hábitos diarios impactan en nuestra vitalidad y calidad de vida. Una alimentación adecuada puede ayudarnos a sentirnos con más energía, mejorar nuestra concentración, descansar mejor, fortalecer nuestra salud y potenciar nuestro equilibrio físico y mental. Porque alimentarse no es solo “llenarse”, sino aportar al organismo aquello que necesita para funcionar de forma óptima. En esta conferencia exploraremos enfoques diferentes pero complementarios sobre la nutrición y el bienestar: 🥗 **Nutrición Fitness y rendimiento físico** Un enfoque centrado en la alimentación como herramienta para mejorar la energía, la composición corporal, el rendimiento y los hábitos saludables. Hablaremos sobre nutrición práctica para el día a día, equilibrio nutricional, proteína, hábitos sostenibles y cómo optimizar nuestro cuerpo y nuestra vitalidad desde una perspectiva moderna y funcional. **🧬 Nutrición celular y glutatión** Descubriremos la importancia de la nutrición celular como base de la salud integral y el papel fundamental del glutatión, uno de los principales antioxidantes y reguladores celulares del organismo. Analizaremos cómo el estrés oxidativo, la inflamación, el estrés, las toxinas ambientales y los hábitos de vida modernos afectan a nuestra energía, sistema inmunológico, capacidad de recuperación y proceso de envejecimiento. Además, exploraremos la relación entre la salud física, emocional, mental, social y espiritual, revisaremos qué dice la evidencia científica actual sobre el glutatión y aprenderemos estrategias para favorecer de forma natural la regeneración y el bienestar del organismo desde una perspectiva preventiva, consciente e integrativa. Perspectivas distintas pero unidas por una misma idea: la alimentación puede convertirse en una poderosa herramienta de transformación, energía y consciencia para acercarnos a nuestra mejor versión. **Ponentes**: Alejandro Alonso (Nutrición Fitness) / Valentina Bergomi (Nutrición Celular) Colaboración: 5 euros (costes de sala y organización). Sólo en efectivo. No Bizum.

## 🤝 Host Information A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus 💡 About the Workshop AI adoption is stalling across organizations — not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge. This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow. Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required. 🛠️ What to Bring Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go. AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!) 🍕 Logistics & Perks Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided! Parking: Plenty of free spaces available on-site. ###

Do you want more motivation and confidence to build Lasting Relationships? This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships. Are you burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival, while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past.

**The Behavior Gap: Where Products Win or Lose** Teams today have more data than ever, and yet many still struggle to understand why customers adopt, engage with, or abandon their products. Teams sprint, ship faster, and chase more signals… all while metrics stall and confidence drops. The missing piece isn’t more data. It’s often the behavioral insight between the metrics, explaining why the numbers move in the first place. Dashboards can tell you what customers did, but understanding why they did it (and how to influence what they do next) requires a deeper blend of insights. This session is about closing that gap. Drawing from real-world experience designing and scaling products as [ZoCo Design](https://zocodesign.com/)’s CEO, [Lacey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) will share how to cut through the noise and identify the insights that actually change behavior—moving people, and moving metrics. You’ll learn: * Why understanding customer behavior is a quant and qual challenge * How to spot the signals that actually predict behavior change * Where AI accelerates insight, and where it creates distraction * How to get meaningfully closer to customers, without adding more tools This talk reframes how to evaluate performance and identify what levers actually improve it, helping your team to make smarter bets with greater confidence. Every meaningful outcome is driven by behavior change. And when you know how to design for behavior, you stop guessing, and start building things that work. **About Our Speaker** [Lacey Picazo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) is the Founder and CEO of ZoCo, a healthcare product studio that turns complex, high-stakes ideas into products that drive real-world adoption.
