Dear Member,
We would like to announce that we will officially transition from Meetup to Substack in 2026. Since we’ve experienced technical issues with Meetup, we’ve been shifting our communication to social media platforms such as Instagram and Facebook throughout this year. However, some members do not use social media and prefer to receive email notifications from Meetup for event information. For this reason, we’ve set up Substack.

Substack is a newsletter platform that allows us to send upcoming meetup details, event summaries and any other useful information directly to your email inbox. To stay informed, click the link below and enter your email address.

If you’re unsure about subscribing, you can click “Read first” on the first page to view our posts without subscribing. Although Substack may suggest upgrading to a paid plan-you dont need to upgrade to the paid version to receive our newsletter-All of our content is free.

If you already follow us on Instagram or Facebook, you can continue to check our regular meetup information on those platforms. Because Substack allows for longer posts, it will become our main platform for sharing information about future special events, workshops, etc.

Once we start posting on Substack, events will no longer be posted on Meetup. Therefore, if you only check Meetup now we urge you to please subscribe to Substack and/or follow us on social media.
