Free Meditation Homebush West

During this week's class we find out more about this energy that lies at the base of our spine, known as the kundalini. We also learn how to develop our vibrational awareness so that we can feel the state of our chakras and clear and strengthen their qualities. During the one hour session we have guided meditations, music, videos from the founder of Sahaja Yoga, Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi and time for questions at the end. When we meditate collectively, it deepens our experience, taking us into a state of thoughtless awareness where we can experience the qualities of our spirit; peace, joy, love, silence. There is no need to bring anything and chairs are available. We are located in Melville Hall within the Homebush West Community Centre. Classes are always free. If you have any questions, please call Jenny on 0425324265

GDG Sydney Meetup March 2026

GDG Cloud Sydney is back for a meetup this March! Join us for an evening of exciting technical talks, community connections, and knowledge sharing. 📍 New venue for this event — please double-check the location before coming. Come Hire! The meetup allocates 10 minutes to people seeking technical jobs or with open roles at their company. If you’re hiring or job hunting, this is your chance to connect with the community. 👉 This meetup is in-person only. There are no plans to stream the event. Partners This meetup is organised in partnership with The Institute of International Studies (TIIS). The platform was conceived not only as a place for students to develop career-ready skills and competencies but also as a space where they could nurture attributes that would enrich their life experiences as engaged and contributing citizens. They have academic programs that are meticulously designed to align with the ever-evolving needs of various industries. TISS graduates emerge equipped with the essential tools and knowledge needed to confidently enter the workforce.

Winners can choose from tools like IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate, PyCharm, WebStorm, Rider, and more. Talks Talk 1: How to use Gemini to search and bag your first or next tech job In this era of AI and agents, to stay ahead of the competition in this difficult job market, you must leverage AI tools, even for your job search and interview preparation. While you should not use AI to cheat in the interview, you should use it to search for and find the right roles and to research the company, so you can better prepare yourself and increase your chances of getting the job offer. In this talk, you will learn how to use Gemini and other tools that use Gemini in the background to get a fair advantage when you search for your first or next tech job. You will also learn more about the hiring process and interview stages, and get useful tips to help your application move into the top 20% of applicants. In this demo-filled talk, you will pick up how to use Gemini deep research, guided learning, live share (for on-demand interview preparation), and Notebook LM to your advantage. Be smart: let AI (Gemini) do the hard work so you can get the desired outcome without outsourcing the thinking. What you’ll learn: Gemini Deep Research: How to use Gemini to sniff out the roles that actually fit your stack. The Power of NotebookLM: Organizing your interview prep and research about the company. Live Share: Using AI as a mock interviewer that actually gives helpful feedback. Guided Learning: learning something step by step in bite-sized pieces The Golden Rule: Let AI handle the heavy lifting and data crunching, but never outsource the actual thinking.
