Agile Coaching

**For bookings and enquiries please email info@fcjspiritualityhouse.ie** A Christian Ashram retreat is a time to come away and immerse yourself in silence and the yogic path. It is a time to nourish the body, calm the mind and come to know your true self. These days consist of spiritual practices from the Yogic path which offers us a very practical way of growing in spiritual awareness in a chaotic world; to open oneself to union with the Divine (the Christ within), with people and with the natural world. We step away from the noise of daily life and enter a sacred rhythm of stillness, reflection, and gentle movement. Rooted in the ancient Christian Ashram tradition, this weekend retreat offers space to deepen your communion with the Divine through meditation, yoga, silence, nature and the simplicity of shared community life. *“Glorify God in your body”* – 1 Corinthians 6:19–20 This retreat embraces silence but is fully guided as Jane leads participants in the practice of the asanas (gentle Hatha Yoga and other practices such as Deep Relaxation); contemplation in action (karma yoga), bhakti yoga (union through devotion) and jnana yoga (union through knowledge e.g. learning more about the yogic system, the mystics or readings from sacred scripture). Whether you are new to contemplative practice or seeking deeper renewal, this retreat invites you to rest in Divine love and rediscover the joy of awareness. *“Remain in me, as I also remain in you.”* – *John 15:4* Everyone is welcome and no prior experience is necessary.

Let's improve our self-awareness, by getting into the habit of writing our thoughts and emotions. & Let's enhance our curiosity and compassion in others, by giving others and ourselves an insight into the unknown lives of strangers. Join us for our 1.5 hours writing event. We will have some exercises prepared that give us the opportunity to write and share about our thoughts/emotions/experiences and use a variety of prompts. HOMEWORK: Before the event we ask participants to reflect and write +/- 10 minutes about a time they lost someone or something they cared for. Participants can choose which parts of their writing they feel comfortable sharing. **FEE:** €5 to support the group. Please pay the organiser at the event. We accept cash/revolut/paypal. **NOTE 1:** No writing experience is required to attend this event. Only a curiosity in ourselves and others. **NOTE 2:** Please provide your own notebook/paper and pen.

Bring your broken tech and trinkets to get them fixed by the skilled volunteers at TOG Hackerspace – with a bit of help from our friends at Dublin Maker! On **Sunday, 18 January 2026**, between **12 pm and 4 pm**, TOG Hackerspace will host the first Repair Cafe of the new year in our own space. At this event, volunteers will share their expertise and passion for repair, helping you fix your broken items and breathe new life into them. Whether it’s a malfunctioning gadget, a piece of clothing in need of mending, or a household item that’s seen better days, bring it along and let the team work their magic. ### What can you bring in? * Clothes and accessories * Toys * Small electrical appliances and electronics * Small furniture … and many other things! Safety testing (PAT) for electrical devices will be available. ### What happens at a repair cafe? At the Repair Café, you sit down with a fixer and work together on your item. You can learn how to repair it yourself, or simply watch and learn from the volunteers while enjoying a tea or coffee. TOG members will also be on hand to give you a tour of the space while you wait. It’s not a drop-off service – it’s a shared, social repair session. Even if something can’t be fixed, you’ll at least go home knowing what went wrong and what your options are. ### Why join a repair cafe? Repair Cafés are a great way to support a circular economy, reduce waste, and extend the life of your belongings. Every successful repair keeps resources in use for longer, saves money, and keeps items out of the bin. They’re also a lovely way to meet people, swap stories about well-loved objects, and pick up new skills in a relaxed setting. ### Where and when? **Where?** – TOG Hackerspace, Unit 1B Motor City, Kylemore Road, Dublin 12, D12 CF6V **When?** – Sunday 18 January 2026, 12 pm – 4 pm Admission is free – but please **book a ticket so we can plan numbers** – all are welcome! [https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/repair-cafe-tickets-1977495649721?aff=ebdssbdestsearch](https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/repair-cafe-tickets-1977495649721?aff=ebdssbdestsearch) If you would like to be a fixer. This event is supported and run in partnership with **Dublin Maker**, Dublin’s free-to-attend, community-run festival of making.

As we step into a new year, many of us are carrying lessons, practices, and questions shaped by the year behind us. The Next Chapter: Looking Back, Leaning Forward is a warm, facilitated vision circle designed to help us pause together, reflect on what truly worked, and imagine what we want to carry forward into what comes next. This is not a talk or presentation. It’s a small, participatory gathering focused on shared reflection, sense-making, and connection. **Together, we’ll explore:** * What supported you over the past year — in your work, leadership, or life * What you’re ready to leave behind * What you want next January’s version of yourself to be saying To support reflection in different ways, we’ll also have optional art materials available for anyone who would like to create a simple artifact for their year — a visual or tactile reminder of what they’re carrying forward. We’ll provide basic art supplies such as colored pencils, markers, paint pens, and small canvases. If you enjoy working with collage or other media, you’re warmly invited to bring magazines, stickers, or your favorite creative materials to use or share. Participation in the creative portion is completely optional. You don’t need a plan, goals, or polished answers. Curiosity, honesty, and listening are more than enough. The intention is for everyone to leave feeling grounded, refreshed, and inspired — with a clearer sense of what matters to them and how we can support one another as a community. Space is intentionally limited to keep the experience intimate. ⸻ **What to Expect** * A small, welcoming circle (not a large meetup) * Structured conversation so everyone has space to speak * Reflection, listening, and lived experience — not advice-giving * Optional creative reflection using simple art materials * A calm, supportive environment ⸻ **Who This Is For** Women and underrepresented folks working in or around agile, product, technology, leadership, or organizational change — especially those looking for thoughtful conversation and community beyond frameworks and buzzwords. ⸻ **Good to Know** * No preparation required * Participation is invitational; listening is always welcome * Creative activities are optional — you can simply listen and reflect * You’re welcome to bring your own collage or craft materials if you’d like * Location details will be shared with registered attendees

Essentially, hatha yoga is towards establishing this alignment." - Sadhguru** **Benefits of practicing Yogasanas regularly:** * **Stabilization of the body, mind, and energy system** * **Slows down the aging process** * **Relief of chronic health conditions** **Agility Level: Intermediate** **For ages 14+** **Open to everyone, no previous experience of yoga required**

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 **Abstract** GitHub Copilot is rapidly changing how developers write, understand, and maintain code. Powered by generative AI and deeply integrated into modern development environments, Copilot acts as an intelligent coding assistant, helping developers move faster while maintaining quality and focus. In this session, we’ll explore what GitHub Copilot is, how it works, and where it fits into a real-world developer workflow. We’ll break down what Copilot can (and cannot) do, where it can be used, and how licensing differs for individuals and organizations. Most importantly, this talk goes beyond theory with a live, hands-on demo showcasing Copilot inside the IDE and on GitHub, demonstrating how it can assist with code generation, refactoring, learning new APIs, and accelerating day-to-day development tasks. Designed for developers, technical leads, and engineering managers, this session provides a practical introduction to AI-assisted development, highlights best practices for getting value from Copilot, and closes with guidance on how to continue learning and evolving alongside this rapidly advancing tool. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how GitHub Copilot can enhance productivity, improve developer experience, and fit into modern software teams today, not someday. **YouTube Link** TBA

2026 may be the last year many developers write code by hand. We need coding agents to solve complex problems in production codebases, but vibe coding alone won’t get us there. Vibe coding is all gas, no brakes. It burns up the context window until the agent slips on its own slop. You can go fast at first, but the more you stuff into the context window, the more tangled its outputs get. While the industry is rapidly increasing code generation speed, we still have to understand, review, merge, and maintain what gets shipped. This talk featuring Michael Geiger will outline how coding agents (Claude Code + Gas Town) work and a framework for orchestrating them to solve complicated problems in complex codebases. It’s about steering the model: doing the research to align intent, planning the approach up front, implementing in parallel steps, and breaking early. Human judgment still matters, but it should be spent on high-leverage decisions: what to build, what to forbid, and “what is quality?”, not cleaning up slop. Attendees will leave with a checklist to identify workflow and environment gaps that hold agents back, so you and your team can ship higher-quality software starting tomorrow.
