Alien Abduction

You are lovingly invited to a free online gathering beneath the Alcyone Gateway. Alcyone is the Central Sun of the Pleiadian star system, and the Alcyone Gateway—held between the 19th and 21st of May—is a sacred alignment in which this Great Mother Sun aligns with our own Sun, allowing the heart and inner truth of humanity to become gently saturated with Pleiadian wisdom and light. For this gateway, the Beloved Star Mothers will channel through Kahreela An-Ra, offering a gentle teaching and activation on Field Manifestation. This is a soothing transmission on bringing more beauty into your orbit of manifestation by learning how to receive with love. The Alcyone Gateway is the second gateway within a trinity of May Gateways, and each of these sacred thresholds offers an opportunity to propel yourself into greater flow. The first gateway opens through healing. The second opens through dreaming. The third opens through enlightening. This year, these gates are opening through the body, which is why many people are experiencing intense physical sensations and purges. Spirit says this offering will help to ease the body out of healing and into dreaming, as the light of your field becomes fertile… This transmission will also include a reflection on the Legend of Alcyone and how this story can nurture our lives. This offering is gifted to you with love from Kahreela and the Star Mothers.

**📣**AI didn’t just change how we build products, it exposed the cracks in how we design, ship, and make decisions. **This meetup brings together three perspectives on the real challenges of AI products:** getting users to use them effectively, managing unpredictability and trust, and rethinking product strategy when execution is no longer the constraint. Together, these talks shift the focus from technology to judgment, design, and product thinking. \#\# Agenda: **18:00** \- Gather & Mingle\. **18:30** \- Opening remarks\. **18:40** -"**Shipping AI features isn’t enough**" by Ellie Jacobs, Product Director LTX @ Lightricks **19:00** - **"Shipping Products That Are Almost Right"** by Meital Kochawi Levin, Senior Product Manager @ Bringg **19:20** - **"Product Strategy in the AI Era"** by Hadas Sheinfeld, VP Product @ ProductX.biz **19:40** \- Networking & Mingle Time **20:00**\- Close 🗣️First talk by **Elli Jacobs** **"Shipping AI features isn’t enough"** Users often fail to get value from AI-based features, because they don’t use them “correctly.” This talk explores the hidden gap between capability and usage, and how product teams can design experiences that guide users toward better outcomes without adding friction or requiring education. It’s about turning AI from something impressive into something reliably useful. 🗣️ Second talk by **Meital Kochawi Levin** **"Shipping Products That Are Almost Right"** Long before LLMs, non-deterministic systems forced teams to grapple with unpredictability, trust, and imperfect outcomes. This talk distills hard-earned lessons into a practical framework for building and managing such products—defining where accuracy matters, designing for failure, and turning users into active contributors to improvement. It offers a grounded approach to making “unreliable” systems feel dependable. 🗣️ Third talk by **Hadas Sheinfeld** **"Product Strategy in the AI Era"** AI hasn’t changed the essence of product strategy, but it has removed many of the constraints that once shaped it. As execution becomes easier, the real challenge shifts to prioritization, judgment, and building long-term advantage. This talk redefines how to think about strategy in a world where speed is no longer a differentiator, and exposes the gap between teams that truly have a strategy and those that never did. \#\# Audience: * CPO * VPs * Head of Product * Product Director * Product Pros 👉 Join us for an insightful and inspiring meetup packed with practical takeaways. \* The number of seats is limited , so do hurry up and book yours. \*\* Prior to the meetup, you will receive an email containing a QR code, which you will be required to present upon entry to the event. \*\*\*We’re aware of the Tube strikes in London next week, but fortunately, from Wednesday afternoon through Thursday, train services are expected to operate as usual, so there should be no difficulty getting to the meetup.

Join us at Craft Beer Co. Brixton for our structured Sci-Fi & Fantasy Feedback Session. A supportive, focused space where writers can share their work and receive constructive, thoughtful critique. These sessions are designed not only to help authors refine their writing but also to strengthen our community. Giving feedback is as valuable as receiving it: by learning to critique effectively, we sharpen our own editorial instincts and deepen our understanding of craft. Whether you’re submitting work or attending as a reader, this is a collaborative, growth-focused environment. **FOR THOSE SUBMITTING WORK** **We allow up to 4 people to submit their work** **for feedback. In order to submit please RSVP your attendance, and send your submission to** **scififantasyauthors@gmail.com no later than the Friday prior to the session** to give organisers time to review submissions and arrange critique groups in advance. *Priority for submission slots is given to those who have attended a previous session.* To ensure quality and fairness, submission guidelines are as follows: * **A short introduction (2–3 paragraphs max.) explaining:** * The context and status of the piece (early draft? polished?). It must be from an unfinished, unpublished project * What kind of feedback you’re looking for * **An excerpt (chapter or short story) of up to 3,000 words** * +10% flexibility allowed * Strict cut-off beyond that **FOR THOSE PROVIDING FEEDBACK** * Please RSVP and read the “How to Give Feedback” document that will be shared prior to attending. * Bring a device suitable for reading the submitted piece * There is no expectation to read anything in advance. All reading takes place during the session itself. We begin with dedicated silent reading time, ensuring that everyone engages with the piece equally and no one feels pressure to prepare outside the session. Just show up ready to read, think, and contribute. **SCHEDULE** Attendees will be placed into small critique groups of 5–6 people, each with an experienced facilitator to guide discussion and manage time. **6:30–6:45pm** – Arrival, drinks & group seating **6:45–7:30pm** – Silent reading & note-taking **7:30–8:00pm** – Structured feedback delivery **8:00–8:30pm** – Open roundtable discussion & author questions Each participant will have up to 5 minutes to share feedback during the structured critique section.

Whether you’re looking to polish a chapter, test an opening, or strengthen your editorial instincts, these sessions are an opportunity to grow together. RSVP early, as places are limited to ensure productive group sizes. If you can no longer attend, please update your RSVP.

This year’s films all revolve around the theme of “**choice**” – plenty of opportunity for philosophical exploration! **This month:** After years of inexplicable confinement, a man is abruptly released and given a finite window to discover why his life was stolen. What follows is a tightening web of decisions, each one shaped by ignorance, memory, and manipulation. As he pursues the truth, the boundaries between freedom and control begin to blur: are his choices genuinely his own, or merely the final steps in a path laid out long before he could see it? The story presses on a troubling possibility: that knowing more does not necessarily make us freer, and that some choices, once revealed, cannot be unchosen. **Can you guess the film? Or come and find out on the day!** **Health warning:** violence & distressing content Pre-explore via **Rational Grid**: [https://rationalgrid.ai/g/philosophical-themes-in-oldboy-park-chan-wook-200-13a244/graph ](https://rationalgrid.ai/g/philosophical-themes-in-oldboy-park-chan-wook-200-13a244/graph) PFA Film Club hosts free screenings of thought-provoking films, followed by a discussion about the raised philosophical issues, for general public. In 2026 meetings are held every third WEDNESDAY of the month at the Cafe of St. Hilda's East Community Centre, 18 Club Row, London E2 7EY. The nearest station is **Shoreditch High Street** on the Overground. **This screening will start at 6pm** and we need to vacate the building by 9:00pm.

Join OverBoard to play the brilliant social deduction game Blood on the Clocktower in person at the brand new board game cafe Otter Chaos in Brixton. If you haven’t heard of Blood on the Clocktower before it is an evolution of classic party games like Mafia/Werewolf where a hidden evil team takes on the good team by lying and killing. The good team has a few tricks up their sleeve but will have to work together to deduce who the evil doers are in their midst. **This is a beginner friendly event so no experience with the game is necessary.** Please note that a gaming cover charge of \~£5 will be payable by each attendee to the venue so that we can make use of the space. We also encourage you to buy food and drink from the bar so we are supporting the business (I can highly recommend their pizzas!) If you want to know more about the rules of the game check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-aZP47Nm9g

**The Future of Advanced Media Production in the UK** *Ideas. Innovation. Honest Conversation.* The UK has long punched above its weight in media production. But the sector is at an inflection point — and the decisions made now, about technology, talent, investment, and collaboration, will shape the next decade. This Meetup is a space to face that moment together. We're creating a space to do something the industry rarely makes time for: slow down, zoom out, and think collectively about where we're headed and how we get there well. **What we'll explore together:** * **Ideas & Trends** — What does the near future of advanced media production actually look like? What shifts in technology, audience behaviour, and production practice are quietly becoming impossible to ignore? * **Companies, Products & Innovations to Watch** — Who's doing something genuinely new? We'll spotlight examples of UK companies, tools, and initiatives that are pushing the boundaries of what advanced media production can be — and open the floor for attendees to share their own. * **Challenges & Risks** — Growth, talent pipelines, funding, infrastructure, the pace of technological change — the sector is navigating real headwinds. This is a candid space to name them, not gloss over them. * **Learning from Each Other** — The most valuable thing in this room will be the people in it. We'll create break-out rooms for you to mingle and to share about your work, your hopes for the sector, and where collaboration — the kind that actually happens — might be possible. **Who this is for:** If you work in, build for, invest in, or think continuously about the future of media production in the UK — this is your room. Whether you come with answers, questions, or simply curiosity, you'll find people worth talking to. *No panels. No pitches. Just good conversation with people who give a damn about where this sector is going.*

💀 **Damn, those horrific tragedies that unleash such an implacable demonic stalker—why is it so impossible to outrun?** 👋 **Hey guys!** Once again, we find ourselves right in the middle of bloody May, carving into another horror film. This time, we’re going into overdrive with a new tragedy horror by **André Øvredal**—already stirring quite a buzz on Reddit, with claims it explores elements of body horror. If you’re familiar with his previous work, this will come as no surprise, as **[The Autopsy of Jane Doe](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNxsaFCzqxc)** and **[Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vlya92LZqZw)** also explore elements of body horror—though in different ways. Both are well regarded in the horror community, so excitement for this one is pretty high. Most of the plot is being kept under wraps, but the vibe points to a suffocating, tense loop—following a couple caught in a harrowing car accident and pursued by a demonic stalker that seems impossible to escape. So let’s park outside that awful congestion zone. **The plan:** this Sunday late afternoon, we’ll **chillax with drinks** before heading in to the film. Then after the screening, we’ll catch up again to review it. **Final details will be updated closer to the release date**, so please keep an eye on this page as it will change. We’ll keep you posted. One would expect some sort of break after a shocking accident—but don’t count on it. **See you guys then,** **Jonny and Dar** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 👉 **HEADS UP** * If you **sign up** and later can’t make it, please 🙏 drop us a message (**or change your RSVP**) — You can also follow us at **[@jonnyhideout](https://www.instagram.com/jonnyhideout/)** \| **[Darinka Yordanova](https://www.instagram.com/darikforme/)** or our club **[@thehideoutmax](https://www.instagram.com/thehideoutmax/)** on instagram for fun updates. 🗓 **SCHEDULE BREAKDOWN** * Details will be updated closer to the date. 📱**STAY CONNECTED** * Join our WhatsApp or Telegram groups (available by request), or hop onto our **[WhatsApp Channel](https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaDvGuK0AgW8KPxOnG2V)** or **[Telegram Channel](https://t.me/thehideoutuk)** for quiet updates without the chat.

These pub meetups are all about socialising and connecting with other Sci‑Fi and Fantasy enthusiasts. To help break the ice, we’ll be running a fun **team quiz at 8.30pm**. There’s no fee to attend—just pay for whatever food or drink you order at the venue.

IN PERSON WORKSHOP - AN INTRODUCTION TO GARDENING THE BIODYNAMIC WAY WITH DR SUE PEAT AND DOUGLAS DAVIDSON **Biodynamics is an organic method of cultivation, arising out of Rudolf Steiner’s Spiritual research. It works with the rhythms of the movements of the sun, moon, planets and stars to which the plants respond. The workshop will cover the background** **to the biodynamic planting calendar and using the biodynamic preparations. It’s coming up to summer and so we will focus on sharing seasonal tips for sewing, growing and most importantly making good compost!** **For the last hour we’ll stir the horn manure preparation (known as 500), so bring an empty screw top bottle if you would like to take some home. A 500ml bottle is enough for an average garden. The workshop is suitable for those new to biodynamics and for anyone who would like to give their garden, window boxes, street trees or house plants a summer treat!** ***Sue and Douglas are enthusiastic gardeners with lots of practical experience of biodynamic gardening.*** **All welcome, no need to book. £10 / £5, ( a charge is made because additional costs are incurred for this workshop. )**

🌌Ever look up and marvel with insatiable curiosity at the beauty and wonder of the **universe?** That wild sobering thought that somewhere in the chaos of creation - through the emergence of us - the universe became **conscious** enough to look back in time and not just ask the existential questions, but try to answer them. 🚀 Join fellow big picture and deep thinkers to take a look at **Venus,** **Jupiter** along with planet's potential life‑harbouring **moons**, iconic beautiful **star fields**, the remnants of supernovae witnessed by our earliest ancestors, **multi‑star systems** reminiscent of the twin suns of *Star Wars* and even **Tau Ceti**, a star hosting two Earth‑like worlds in its habitable zone. All of this under the spring evening - with drinks, engaging conversation, and good‑natured banter — this May. In between observing - we'll have **drinks and engaging chats** on all astronomy related topics for those inclined: Space exploration \| Fermi Paradox \| Astrobiology \| Cosmology \| paleontology\, \| SETI & Drake Equation for alien civilisations estimates \| exoplanetology etc as well as non space chats and banter too\. No doubt we'll hear the usual jokes we've all heard before\! If those don't make you laugh\, my impersonation of Los Angeles ET will\! 👽 And to help set the mood and make the night feel even extra stary, I’ll put my DJ hat to play some space‑theme tunes and songs about the stars! You don't need a telescope as you will be able to view through scopes belonging to me and other club members (as long as you behave responsibly and don't temper with expensive equipment). If you have your own telescope/binoculars feel free to bring along and I can help you setting it up if you're a newbie **==== ITINERARY =====** We will meet outside H&I Station in Highbury Islington. After a short wait for anyone delayed, I will escort everyone to our observation point in the local park 5 minutes walk away and brief you in terms of what to expect, observing etiquette, tips, equipment handling and take any questions you have - weather general or astronomy/cosmology related. **After Drinks:** Unless I have a very important 9AM Tue deadline for a unfinished client presentation or something - most of us usually head to a cosy bar for a drink. If so - I will annouce the pub when we leave the park **==== What Can You Expect To See (this time of year)? ====** * Orion Nebula * Jupiter and 4 moons * Meteors * Andromedia Galaxy * Star clusters such as the Pleiades & Owl Cluster etc * International Space station fly by * Binary & tripple star systems (think planet *Tatooine in* Starwars!), * Neptune * Uranuus * Our moon * A look towards the galactic centre of the Mlikyway where that supermassive £22b Labour black hole sits (Sagittarius A) More here from Jodrell Bank Observatory/Astrophysics Centre: [http://www.jb.man.ac.uk/astronomy/nightsky/](http://www.jb.man.ac.uk/astronomy/nightsky/) Guide to viewing the cosmos for beginners: [https://phys.org/news/2018-05-universe-distant-starstips-cosmology-backyard.html#jCp](https://phys.org/news/2018-05-universe-distant-starstips-cosmology-backyard.html#jCp) **===Weather Dependent=====** The event is subject to clear skies forecasts on the night so if on the actual afternoon of the event the weather forecasts looks unsuitable beyond doubt then I will postpone so please check the event status on the day of the event .
