Join us every Sunday and tell a story as a group by playing a beginner-friendly roleplaying game. Every week we have 2-3 different games - you will choose which game you play on the day. All materials provided and rules are explained at the start of each game, you just need to bring your imagination. 🎭 **This week's facilitators:** * 🧬 **Cyrus** with *[BORG-O-Rama!](https://cydeadhunter.itch.io/borg-o-rama)*, a one page RPG mixing sci-fi horror and goofy comedy. You are a group of Alien Cyborgs puppeting human bodies on a secret mission to TAKE OVER THE EARTH!!! As the game goes on the players will begin to experience *Human Emotions* for the first time and perhaps change their allegiance to the BORG… * 🌆 **Vishnu** with *[Hex and the City](https://theinvulnerabletide.itch.io/hex-and-the-city)*, an urban fantasy game based on *Lasers and Feelings*. You are all that stands between the forces of darkness and the innocent people that don't believe in them. Whatever hi-jinks and personal drama you have going on in the background, you have always managed to come through and save this City. Or at least, you have until SERENITY, THE CHOSEN ONE got herself grievously wounded in the last battle, leaving you with no prophetic visions to guide you, or convenient one-shot monster killing powers while she recovers. (Or maybe she's off "recuperating" with her demon boyfriend again, who knows?) *** Feel free to ask the organisers any questions you have (here or on our [Discord server](https://tinyurl.com/indie-rpgs-dublin)).

### **Let’s Reconnect & Play** (Paid event) ### Hello everyone, and welcome to our community! Our daily lives can get so stressful and overwhelming between work, study, and endless adult responsibilities. We created this group because we wanted to design a safe space to just be, enjoy the present moment, and disconnect from all the digital noise—social media, algorithms, and daily anxiety. After our first session success, We are happy to announce our second session. This is a special, intimate gathering to try out our dynamics before we launch our regular events to the general public. **What to expect:** * A gentle grounding and meditation practice: A space to arrive, breathe, and leave the rush of the city behind. * Original group games & creative activities: Fun, low-pressure dynamics designed to break the ice, laugh, and reconnect with your "inner child." * A cozy space for reflection: A moment to share how we feel and build authentic human connections. **The details:** 📅 **When:** June 7th 12:00 PM **Capacity:** Limited to 15 spots per session 📍 **Where:** National Botanical Gardens (Meeting point will be disclosed once the payment confirmation has been done) 🎟️ **Fee:** 15€ ( Due to limited spots and prep costs, all workshop ticket sales are final and no refunds will be issued) **All you have to bring is great attitude and your yoga mat!** The limited number of spots is to keep the group small, safe, and meaningful. If you feel like you need a "digital detox" and a bit of genuine play in your life, RSVP to secure your spot! Once you sign up, I will send you a private message with the payment details (Revolut) to confirm your attendance. Can't wait to meet you all and share this experience! ✨

The meaning of the word zen is meditation, zazen means sitting meditation. In zazen practice we begin to know ourselves, and to go beyond the limits of our personal ego. Within our tradition zazen is referred to as shikantaza, not doing, letting go of thoughts, dropping off body and mind. This sitting meditation is the focus of our practice. Language limits our ability to communicate the true nature of zen; it is something that is better understood through practice. We are open to everyone interested in learning about zen. Intro workshop for newcomers is available at 5.30pm each Sunday. The dojo is a sacred place and it is important to be considerate of everyone. We have many people that travel to practise together once a week or once a month. So for that reason it is really essential that we all know the structure of the sitting practise (when to sit, how to do Kinhin, the different bell sounds and their meaning etc), to ensure a silent, safe and meaningful meditation. And it's also great to meet everyone before the sitting practise. And answer any questions you may have. We have zafus and zabutons (mats and cushions) for all to sit on. Chairs are available too. Comfortable clothing for sitting, black or neutral tones best. We greatly appreciate a donation of €5 to cover costs if it's possible for you. Please arrive 10min before start so 6ish (if you're not doing the intro workshop). You are very welcome to our dojo!

Jugger is a fast paced but easy to pick up sport that is great for beginners. Its like a combination of tag rugby and fencing and is a great way to meet new people and then hit them with a padded stick. Its light contact and the only gear you need to bring is clothing you are comfortable running around in and some water.

After attending the World Happiness Summit (WOHASU) and practicing group coaching there as a coach, I came back feeling deeply equipped and inspired to share what I learned - and that is exactly what this circle is about. 🌞 Through evidence based tools and research backed insights I will share what truly contributes to human happiness - not as a lecture, but as a lived, felt experience. Because in The Happiness Circle we don't just learn about happiness. We practice it, together, in real time. Set on the grass in the beautiful surroundings of St Anne's Park, this 90 minute gathering combines gentle movement, meditation, mindful walking and group coaching into one warm, grounding experience. A space to meet wonderful people, build real connections and walk away with practical tools you can bring into your everyday life. **What to expect:** * Gentle mat movement to wake up the body * Short guided meditation to quiet the mind * Evidence based happiness habits and insights from WOHASU * Practical tools to bring more joy into daily life * Group coaching - putting it all into practice together * Mindful walking and genuine human connection * Warm, inclusive community energy throughout No experience needed. No performance required. Just you, showing up. Bring a yoga mat or blanket, wear comfortable clothes and come ready to move, connect and choose happiness. **Happiness is not something you find. It is something you build - together.💛** See you there ❤️

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.

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!
