A relaxed, beginner-friendly run/walk social focused on movement, community and feeling better. This is not a serious running club for elite athletes, nor is it a hardcore bootcamp. The idea is simple: get outside, move your body, meet good people and build healthier habits in a supportive environment. We’ll cover around 4k together using a structured run/walk format guided by qualified personal trainer Mike Maddox, with regular walk breaks so nobody feels left behind or under pressure. This group is designed for adults who are comfortable walking for around an hour and want to improve their fitness in a relaxed, social way. **Perfect for:** • People getting back into fitness • Busy professionals and parents • Expats looking to meet people • Anyone wanting a healthier routine without intimidation • People who don’t feel comfortable in traditional fitness spaces English-speaking, but everyone is welcome 🇬🇧🇪🇸 No pressure. No judgement. Just movement, fresh air and good people. **Session location:** Poble Nou **Meeting point:** End of Rambla Poble Nou, as you enter the park on your way to the beach **Rules / Schedule:** We stay together as a group. We begin with a warm-up walk before moving into light jogging intervals with regular walking breaks, depending on the level of the group. There is no set pace and no competition. We move, walk, jog and chat together. After the session, we’ll cool down, stretch, and maybe grab a coffee nearby for anyone who wants to stay and socialise.

Si t'interessa aprendre a combatre, emular les lluites de les teves pel·lícules favorites, lluitar amb espasa, subjectar un escut, dominar els secrets de l'equilibri de peus o fer fitnes d'un mode diferent; el Softcombat i el Rol en Viu són una activitat que has de provar. **És durant el matí de 11h a 13.30h quan major quantitat de participants es reuneixen.

**[Únete a nuestro grupo de whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/Cp2jyUS8Z9a0AsWJ1kbV0f)** **Hay relaciones que empiezan con intensidad, conexión y sensación de admiración… y terminan en desgaste, confusión y pérdida de identidad. No siempre es fácil identificar lo que ocurre mientras estás dentro.** Especialmente cuando la persona que tienes enfrente alterna encanto y desprecio, cercanía y distancia, validación y crítica. En este evento abordaremos el vínculo con perfiles narcisistas y, sobre todo, por qué generan un enganche emocional tan fuerte incluso cuando el daño es evidente. Durante la sesión trabajaremos: * *Qué rasgos caracterizan a una dinámica narcisista (más allá de la etiqueta clínica)* * *Por qué el refuerzo intermitente crea dependencia emocional* * *Cómo se activa la herida de validación y el miedo al abandono* * *Señales de manipulación sutil: gaslighting, inversión de culpa y desgaste progresivo* * *Claves prácticas para cortar el vínculo sin recaer ni idealizar el pasado* Este encuentro está dirigido a personas que han vivido relaciones intensas pero desestabilizadoras, que saben que no les hacía bien… pero aun así sienten dificultad para soltar del todo. No se trata de señalar al otro únicamente, sino de comprender qué parte interna quedó atrapada en esa dinámica y cómo fortalecerla para no repetir el patrón. Si alguna vez te has preguntado por qué vuelves a alguien que sabes que te hiere, este evento puede darte claridad psicológica y herramientas reales para salir sin volver atrás. ✨ **Dinámica especial durante el evento** ✨ A lo largo del evento, varias personas compartirán en una dinámica abierta sus experiencias reales conviviendo o relacionándose con personas narcisistas. 🫂 Porque compartir también ayuda a sanar, entender y crecer juntos. **aportación :** 5€ para gastos de organización. **Dirección:** Amaltea (calle Diputación 164) Te esperamos! :)

Wellcome to the picnic for childfree pals! Plan: chit-chatting chilling Bring something to sit on and (optional) snacks for yourself. 🌳 Just in case we get bored with small talks, I’m bringing a conversation game with questions and conversation starters. The questions are usually something like this: “What is the famous person you would like to have a conversation with?” “Would you rather have a pet dragon the size of a cat or a cat the size of a dragon?” and so on. (That’s to make the picnic more introvert-friendly). Feel free to bring anything that matches your idea of a perfect picnic, whether it’s a music speaker, your guitar, another card game, a book. Exact location will be in added in a discussion 10 min prior to the event. Please text me if you can’t find the spot. Can’t wait to meet you! ☺️ 🚧 🚧 🚧 I will text everyone a couple days prior to the event to confirm if you are able to make it to the event. It’s so that I can reschedule if too few people confirmed. Also please remove yourself from the attendees list if you are not coming, it’s important that I can prognose real number of people on the event.. Thanks for understanding 🙏

Join the Columbus AI community for a special event. **Battle of the Personal Agents** is your chance to see what people are actually building with AI agents and personal automation systems. Whether you’re running OpenClaw, Hermes, or a completely custom solution, bring your agent and show the community how it works. We’re interested in real-world implementations: the problems your agent solves, how you use it day-to-day, how it’s hosted and managed, how you built it, and why you’ve chosen to keep using it. Live demonstrations are encouraged, so be prepared to show your code, architecture, workflows, and your agent performing real tasks. This is less about polished presentations and more about sharing practical experience, comparing approaches, and learning from one another. If you’d like to present, please contact Chris Slee (via meetup) before the event so we can allocate enough time for everyone’s demonstrations. Come ready to show what you’ve built, discover what others are doing, and maybe find a few ideas worth taking home. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.

Most people still use AI like a search box: type one question, get one answer, repeat. But the next step is AI agents: systems that can take a goal, break it into steps, use tools, remember context, and produce useful work for a human to review. In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll demystify what AI agents actually are — without hype or jargon. We’ll walk through practical examples of how agents can help with research, planning, writing, coding, operations, and personal productivity. We’ll cover: * What makes an AI “agent” instead of just a chatbot * How agents break tasks into steps * Where agents are genuinely useful today * Where they fail, hallucinate, or need human review * How to design simple AI workflows for your own work * A live demo of an AI agent-style workflow from start to finish No coding experience required. This is for anyone who wants to understand where AI tools are going and how to use them more effectively right now. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.

This is an in-person meeting. At this meeting you will get answers to depression and anxiety. Find out the source of them and how to get rid of them. Did you know that unwanted emotions like anxiety, depression, unhappiness, loneliness, hopelessness, anger, fear, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not due to a chemical imbalance in your brain from some nebulous chemical reaction "by chance". Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. 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. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Hubbard Dianetics Foundation of Central Ohio and Church of Scientology of Central Ohio.

NFT's are here to stay folks! This is a group for like minded people interested in understanding, leveraging, using, creating for, profiting from, trading too i suppose, NFT's.. everything around them, complexity, fear and exploits, best practices and more. **PLUS** This group will talk AI ART tools, techniques, artists, video, audio, prototypes and more in the AI assisted production space- ART specifically, but we can get into any aspect of some of the cooler things happening in AI in general.

## 🤝 Host Information A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus 💡 About the Workshop AI adoption is stalling across organizations — not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge. This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow. Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required. 🛠️ What to Bring Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go. AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!) 🍕 Logistics & Perks Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided! Parking: Plenty of free spaces available on-site. ###
