Offering of sound to the temple you reside is a purification process. The space within is cleansed and is receptive to what is. The Sounds offered in this session may intensify your presence. And that, offering presence is said to be healing . The function of the instrument Gong and Singing Bowls are commonly used in sacred places to induce quietude and silence – the cosmic background Sound and space where life thrives best. This is a simple and gentle method to evoke stillness. And as a consequence, the act of doing is refined to be meditative and focused.

Rest and reconnect to your True Nature with Yoga Nidra and awaken to a life of unshakable peace and wellbeing. Yoga Nidra (yogic sleep) is derived from the ancient tantric practice and is a unique combination of modern science and ancient yoga teachings. It is a guided mindfulness-based practice that focuses on body sensing, breathing techniques, emotional relaxation and guided consciousness meditation. Backed by science and research, the practice has been proven to assist with deep rest, stress, anxiety, insomnia, pain management and PTSD. Yoga Nidra can be a loving and supportive practice to living your best life. Life can be hard at times, sometimes really hard and we could all use a little support, self-care/love and rest from the mayhem. In this highly regenerative meditative state, we gently allow the sound and vibrations from the Gongs to shift and release stagnant energy and tension accumulated in the bodies. You can restore and rejuvenate your body, heal and recover from illness, and re-wire your brain for greater mental and emotional balance and resiliency.

Every leader has one - that conversation you know you need to have but keep finding reasons to postpone. Maybe it's the direct report whose performance has slipped and you're hoping it'll fix itself. Maybe it's pushing back on your boss about a decision you disagree with. Maybe it's telling a someone they didn't get the promotion. In this session, we'll explore why these conversations are so hard, what makes us avoid them and how we can approach them with more confidence. Bring the conversation you've been putting off - or the one you finally had and learned from - and let's work through it together. Beyond the topic, there's always room to put your own challenges on the table, whatever you're navigating right now as a leader. The Leadership Gap exists to be the room where you can think out loud with people who get it, and we want to shape it around what matters most to you.

Join us for an evening of deep technical insights into the future of AI-assisted software development. This meetup brings together industry leaders to explore cutting-edge approaches to agentic engineering, from specification-driven development to preserving human flow states in AI-powered workflows. **Venue:** Suntec Tower 3, 8 Temasek Boulevard, #30-01/02, Singapore 038988 **Date:** 25 Feb **Schedule:** * 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM: Registration & Networking * 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM: Speaker Sessions & Q&A ## Featured Speakers **Sergey Saburov, Director of Software Engineering, Acronis** **Topic:** *Spec-Driven Development: Modern Strategies for Human-AI Collaboration* Dive into an in-depth comparison of specification-first methodologies in the era of AI-assisted engineering. This session evaluates different approaches to Spec-Driven Development (SDD), contrasting rigid, blueprint-heavy frameworks with lightweight, iterative change-tracking systems. Sergey examines practical workflows—from initial design to automated implementation—discussing how treating specifications as the "Source of Truth" helps teams eliminate technical debt, minimize AI hallucinations, and maintain architectural integrity in complex codebases. **Sanjeev Solanki, NLP Lead Engineer (AI),** **Constructor Technology** **Topic:** *AI Research Assistant: From Papers to Production with Agentic AI* This talk explores how AI can go beyond chatbots to become a structured research collaborator. We’ll look at an AI Research Assistant that reads papers, analyzes code, understands datasets, and generates executable plans using multi-agent orchestration. Learn how agentic workflows and context engineering help reduce hallucinations and bridge the gap between research ideas and production-ready solutions. **Ake, Developer Experience Director, Chainstack** **Topic:** *Building a Flow State Companion for Agentic Coding* We as humans have the capability of entering flow states—the deeply productive, creative, and rewarding sessions that almost always produce the best results. Flow requires consciousness. AI doesn't have one, and it can easily snap yours. Multi-instance agents, parallel workflows, and orchestrated swarms are TikTok for builders. In this talk, Ake shares his experience building a solution to protect flow, navigating the intricacies of cognition and metacognition along the way. ## What to Expect * Cutting-edge insights into AI-assisted development workflows * Practical strategies for human-AI collaboration * Networking opportunities with engineering leaders and practitioners * Q&A sessions with industry experts **Registration opens at 6:00 PM. We look forward to seeing you there!**

In this session, we’ll explore how GitHub Spec-Kit enables teams to treat specifications as first-class artifacts—living documents that drive architecture, implementation, and verification. You’ll learn how Spec-Kit helps teams clearly express intent using structured, version-controlled specs that live alongside code. We’ll walk through a practical workflow that starts with defining system behavior and constraints, then progressively refines those specs into testable, automatable outcomes. Along the way, we’ll show how specs can reduce ambiguity, improve cross-functional collaboration, and make design decisions explicit before a single line of production code is written. This talk will cover: --What spec-driven development is (and what it isn’t) --How GitHub Spec-Kit fits into modern developer workflows --Using specs to align product, engineering, and AI-assisted development --Real-world examples of turning specs into implementations with confidence Whether you’re building greenfield systems, integrating AI into your stack, or trying to reduce costly rework, spec-driven development offers a scalable way to move faster without sacrificing clarity. Attendees will leave with concrete patterns and a clear mental model for adopting GitHub Spec-Kit in their own projects. **YouTube Link** TBA

This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships. Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. We look forward to having you join us! This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
