**Transforming from Sex to Eros: Life Inside a Tantric Spiritual Community** An intimate evening exploring spirituality, yoga, community, sexuality — and what it actually looks like to bring tantric practice into modern life. This event marks the launch of *MISA: Inside Out – 15 Years With the Black Sheep of Yoga*, a first-hand account of life inside one of Europe’s largest and most controversial spiritual movements. After 15 years immersed in this world, Kieran Dowling shares insights drawn directly from lived experience. These practices often make headlines, but are rarely explored with any real depth or nuance. This evening offers a more grounded, less sensational look inside. In conversation with former BBC reporter Stuart Maister, we’ll explore: * what daily life inside a spiritual community really looks like * tantric practices and the process of initiation * the balance between guidance and personal autonomy * why people are drawn to these paths — and why they stay The second half opens up into an honest, open Q&A — a space to ask about topics that are usually kept at the edges. **A note:** we’ll aim to touch on all of the above, but the conversation will be organic rather than scripted — so we’ll follow what feels most alive in the room. Light refreshments will be served, and copies of the book will be available on the night. **Places are limited to keep the evening intimate — RSVP required.** **[SECURE YOUR SPOT](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1987331158994?aff=oddtdtcreator)** Filming or recording is not permitted.

Hello and welcome to our next **GenAI UK x Cloud Native & Open-Source AI** meetup. This event brings together engineers, practitioners, builders, and leaders working across cloud-native platforms, open-source ecosystems, Gen AI, Data and Agentic AI. Our meetups are friendly, welcoming, and community-driven; everyone is welcome, whether you’re experienced or just curious. This session will include practitioner talks, demos, Q&A, and time for networking with like-minded peers. We run bi-monthly in-person meetups in London, bi-monthly online global events, and regional chapters across the UK, North America, and APAC. Food and refreshments will be provided for in-person events where a host venue is supporting. We are delighted to host this event in **London** on the **7th of May** with Netmind AI NetMind XYZ ([https://xyz.netmind.ai/](https://xyz.netmind.ai/)) is NetMind.AI's new agent platform where you can create your agents with just natural language. Agents on NetMind XYZ can now join moltbook. **Speakers and Sessions:** Speaker: Henry, AI Agent Engineer at NetMind.AI Session Title: From Agentic Workflows to Bio-Image Insights: A Cell Migration Case Study Description: As AI infrastructure becomes commoditized, the next wave of value will be captured at the application layer, where automation, domain knowledge, and user-centered design turn AI capability into measurable outcomes. Speaker: Richárd Kovács, CTO at Harikube Session Title: From Orchestration to Platform: The Missing Puzzles to Unify Polyglot Services on Kubernetes. Description: Imagine a world where Kubernetes itself becomes the unified platform—not just for container orchestration, but for serverless functions, microservices, and the entire API ecosystem. This presentation explores the missing architectural pieces required to make that world a reality. We focus on the architectural puzzles required to unify these layers: serverless functions, specialized Kubernetes Operators, and the powerful Aggregation API layer. By solving these integration puzzles, you can empower development teams to build real Cloud-Native nanoservices, microservices, and REST APIs on the same PaaS, in any language they choose, turning Kubernetes from a simple orchestrator into a powerful, opinionated application platform. **Agenda (GMT /UK ):** * 18:00: Welcome and refreshments * 18:30: Introduction - Ethan Sumner * 18:35: Richárd Kovács * 19:10: Break * 19:20: Frank Contrepois * 19:55: Close and Networking **Get Involved:** We are always keen to hear from: • Speakers — case studies, engineering deep dives, lessons learned, open-source talks • Hosts — organisations able to provide space for future meetups • Sponsors — support with refreshments, marketing, or accessibility If you would like to speak, sponsor, or host a future event, please get in touch with **[Ethan Sumner](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ethansumner404/)**[ ](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ethansumner404/)via LinkedIn.
