# *Daily Tantric Devotion* #### *Live morning live practice with Agni Chandra* [To join for free for 7 Days click here](https://www.organicurrent.com/offers/iq2vi32q/checkout) ***Tantric Breathwork to activate your energy*** ***Powerful awakening of all energy centers*** ***Meditation to ground in your expanded state of being*** Bring powerful transformational tantric practices into your everylife to transform from the inside out. [Watch a video explaining the transformational power of these practices](https://www.instagram.com/tv/Cqk_UvNI47N/?igshid=MDJmNzVkMjY=) ### *What we will practice* *All practices are based on 3 pillars: **breath, sound and movement**. It allows the current of energy to flow freely in your body. **Agni Chandra curates each session** based on:* * *meditative presence* * *conscious connected breath* * *yogic breathing* * *undulation of the spine* * \*application of energetic locks \* *Practices are based on the **principle of deep connection with the body through felt sense.** We **activate our primal energy** and we **channel it up the spine** to the heart and higher energy centers.* ### *Introduction to the 4 Practices of Daily Tantric Devotion* *With **Tantric Breathwork** practices we ground ourselves in the presence through the body. We open to the flow of life through conscious connected breath. The flow of energy that comes with the breath and spinal undulation redirects our sexual energy to the heart and higher energy centers. You are guided into the pure experience through the body to finally transcend the body into the meditative state of being.* ***Free Voicing*** *is a practice that opens up one of the most contracted energy centers - the throat. After grounding and heart centering meditation, we open the pathway of the breath using ancient yogic breathing. That allows the body to reconnect with the most healthy and beneficial way of breathing that is often forgotten.* [More information, example videos ](https://www.organicurrent.com/daily-tantric-devotion-1) JOIN THIS SESSION ❤️ [Join this class with 7 Day Free Trial](https://www.organicurrent.com/offers/iq2vi32q/checkout) ❤️ # #### *Agni Chandra* Telegram group: [https://t.me/organicurrent](https://t.me/organicurrent) *Website:* [https://www.organicurrent.com/](https://www.organicurrent.com/) *Instagram: [https://www.instagram.com/organicurrent_tantra/](https://www.instagram.com/organicurrent_tantra/)*

This event is organized by TechSpeak. Our meetup group is collaborating by promoting this event. This event is FREE to attend! In order to attend, please register here: https://www.techspeakforentrepreneurs.com/outsource/?utm=ideatoipo (Registrants will receive login info right before the start of the event.) Yes, you can launch a tech startup without a technical co-founder! In the early days of your startup it will be hard to attract a technical co-founder to build your app. However, by knowing how to efficiently build your MVP and thus get some traction, you can de-risk the opportunity for the potential tech co-founder and change the conversation from "I Need You" to "Here's an Opportunity". Learn how you can make the shift from struggling to develop your MVP and feeling uncertain of what you should be doing to successfully building your MVP in the next 3-4 months -- and start getting traction for your product and attract a technical co-founder or CTO! The speaker will discuss: 1) Why it’s so hard to find a technical co-founder or CTO 2) A strategy for attracting a a technical co-founder or CTO 3) How not get ripped off in the process and more!

**The Data-Driven Brand: Using Analytics to Shape Perception** Can you use analytics to improve tacos? This being CBUSDAW, we think the answer is probably “yes”, but we’re not sure how to implement or test this theory. For our April meetup we’ve got Sara Kear, CMO of Condado Tacos, to investigate this delicious question. Sara will explore how she blends quantitative data and qualitative customer feedback to shape brand positioning and drive business decisions. We all know that marketing and analytics go way beyond attribution. Sara will show how Condado uses customer insights to inform product and pricing strategy. She’ll also highlight how Condado leverages customer feedback at scale to influence operational priorities, positioning marketing as the voice of the customer across the organization. In the last 12 years Condado has gone from one location in Columbus to 52 locations across 10 states, so we’re guessing there’s more to that growth than really good guac (though the guac probably helps). Ultimately, this talk focuses on the intersection of art and science—using data to inform creativity and build a brand that resonates with customers in a measurable way. **About Our Speaker** Sara Kear is Chief Marketing Officer at Condado Tacos, where she oversees brand, restaurant design, menu and pricing strategy, off-premise including catering, and customer data strategy. Since joining in 2021, she has helped grow the brand from 19 to 52 locations while building a data-driven marketing organization focused on loyalty and customer insights. Condado has since been named to the Inc. 5000, recognized as Breakout Retailer by Chain Store Age, and consistently ranked among FastCasual’s Top 100 Movers & Shakers.

While some are still meeting online, this is an in person event. Please note that we have attendees of all levels of speaking, including some native speakers. All are welcome! Also, as we meet at the same time and place each week, many don’t RSVP on the app, so we will likely have more attendees than noted here. Note: if you are asked to pay and upgrade the Meetup app, this is not necessary. You can ignore this and still attend our meetings.

The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI One does not simply build reports on OLTP data. Join us on an epic journey from the depths of raw, normalized tables to the shining halls of a well-modeled star schema fit for Power BI greatness. We will demystify the differences between OLTP and OLAP, walk through star schema vs snowflake (and why Power BI has a clear favorite), and show you the compression differences between normalized and columnar storage that will make you never look at an OLTP model the same way again. We will cover the different types of dimensions, when to use them, and how to handle Slowly Changing Dimensions without losing your mind. You will leave knowing exactly how to identify a bad model, how to convert OLTP data into a clean star schema, and how to forge relationships that rule them all. Whether you are a data wizard, a curious hobbit, or somewhere in between, your models will never be the same.

**Caller: Kim Thompson** **Band: Full Moon Country Dance Orchestra** **Clinton Heights Lutheran Church** **15 Clinton Heights Ave, Columbus, OH 43202** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/) Please bring your own refillable water bottle.
