Community of Practice 🗣️ - Human Hearted Sydney 🌻

Join our monthly Community of Practice (COP) where we discuss the ideas of Human Heartedness: a secular approach to life that promotes empathy and social connection based on cultivating our human social potential. Each meeting we discuss these concepts and how they can help us in practical ways to live better, happier, and more fulfilling lives. The meeting is followed by an optional lunch together nearby. This is a great opportunity to meet like-minded people and find your local community! ⏰ **When:** Sunday October 11th at 11:00am 📍 **Where:** Darling Square Library, Level 1 - Ideas Space 2 (see directions) 🎟️ **Cost:** Free 🧑‍🦱 **Who should come:** anyone looking to meet new people and build connections with like-minded Sydneysiders. We’re queer-friendly and welcome people from all ages and backgrounds :) **About Human Heartedness:** The modern world’s focus on competition and materialism makes it easy to feel isolated and overwhelmed. The collapse of traditional sources of meaning like religion and local community intensify this so that we’re often left with a lack of meaning and purpose. We can try to fill the void with money and success—or to numb it with drugs and technology— but nothing seems to work. Human heartedness reminds us that the path to living well doesn’t come from money and power, but from building on the best in our own human hearts. Our human social potential. It points to a better way: to build in-person communities that build on our innate social potential and inherent value as humans. By building good relationships and social connections, we can live a more fruitful and fulfilling life (and help others to do the same). We can move from struggling alone to flourishing together. Following the human hearted way offers a secular, inclusive, forward looking solution to the meaning crisis of our times. [Learn more about Human Heartedness and our other events here!](https://linktr.ee/humanheartedsydney) **About the Community of Practice (COP):** Our human hearted community of practice (COP) offers a friendly welcoming environment in which we support and encourage each other to live more human hearted lives. Our goal is to build a community that supports us all to live more meaningful and fulfilling lives. We welcome you to join us in exploring together how to live better lives. *Human Hearted Sydney is sponsored by Humanists Australia which kindly funds our activities and keeps events like this free.

Sydney Claude Community: From Beginners to Builders

Welcome to the Sydney Claude Community! Whether you are completely new to artificial intelligence or a seasoned developer looking to architect enterprise solutions, this meetup is your space to learn, share, and grow. AI is moving fast, and navigating it alone can be overwhelming. We’ve broadened the scope of this group to support everyone in our local community who wants to understand and leverage AI—specifically Anthropic’s Claude—no matter where you are on your journey. **What to Expect:** Grab a coffee and join us for relaxed, open discussions broken down into three main areas of focus: •⁠ ⁠The AI Explorers (Beginners): For those who don't know much about AI yet but are eager to explore, ask questions, and get hands-on experience in a welcoming environment. •⁠ ⁠The Professionals (Intermediate): For those who understand the basics of AI but want practical advice on how to implement it to help their teams, automate workflows, or support their companies. •⁠ ⁠The Builders (Advanced): For developers and consultants willing to dive deep, study AI architecture, and prepare for the official Anthropic certification exams. **Why Join Us?** As AI evolves, getting the right guidance is crucial. One of our co-organizers is an official Anthropic Partner and a newly Certified Claude Code Architect Professional. We are here to support the community, provide mentorship, share real-world use cases, and help you navigate the certification pathways. Come along to network, share your ideas, and learn how to make AI work for you! **About the Organizers & Partners** •⁠ ⁠Code Sydney (https://code.sydney/) •⁠ ⁠Community Partner: Seiment (https://seiment.com/)

Greenups Spring. In The Garden

For the Spring event we’re doing green drinks old-school style. Join us, [Greenups](https://greenups.au/), [Regen Sydney](https://www.regen.sydney/) and the [Pocket City Farms](https://www.pocketcityfarms.com.au/) crews, in the garden (the beer garden & the veggie patch), with the sun on our backs, dirt under the nails, beer in hand, for some casual, low-key, easy 'spring in the air' vibes. Spring is the time to prepare the soil, plant seeds, and tend to the young crops. So let’s get outside, reconnect, tend, nurture ourselves, find strength, and just have some fun! **Why** A lot of people in the broader Greenups community have had their shoulder to the wheel for years now - working on climate, nature, cities, food, energy and systems change - many, now experts in their fields. And a common refrain lately: “It’s hard.”... Frankly, many of the things we’ve fought for are not going the way we’d hoped, and we're all feeling the pressure. ...so it's often followed by “I’m exhausted.” So spring feels like a good moment as any to call a small time-out, to stop and smell the natives. **What to expect** In the spirit of the early Greenups: let’s just turn up, meet some good people, have a drink, swap ideas and see what grows. Old faces, new connections, good music, tasty food, feet on the ground, fun in the sun. And we'll have some facilitated networking activities to help break the ice - for those that want to. Zero “sage on a stage” vibes. Daylight saving will have just started. It’s the last week of the school holidays. It's a kid-friendly venue, and kids eat free at Camperdown Commons on Wednesdays! \* **Who** Pocket City Farms will show us around the farm, including a garden tour, and bring us up to date on their journey so far, and where to next. We’re inviting some of our Regen Sydney and Community Garden friends along too, with hopefully another special guest to announce soon. \* No, this not only for families, not at all. This will be a regular Greenups for grownups, but at a venue that is well suited to kids. So if you want to bring your 'young crops', please do!
