Authentic Movement

Join us, once a month, on a Wednesday afternoon for an easy-paced walk by the lake — a midweek pause to breathe, move, and connect. We’ll meet in front of the Opera House and take a walk along the lake, letting conversation flow as naturally as the path. These walks are about more than slowing down — they’re a way to clear the noise and make space for new perspectives. Sometimes it’s in motion that the mind finds its calm and ideas come into focus. A simple hour to refresh, connect, and perhaps see something familiar in a new light.

**AI Essentials for Product Managers (beyond the basics)** (Prices go up on May 15!) AI is reshaping product management, from how we discover problems to how we ship and improve features. This hands-on, one-day workshop goes beyond the basics: you'll sharpen how you run AI-assisted discovery, scale your own and your team's productivity with agents and automations, and learn how to build AI-powered products where the real work is no longer building the prototype but deciding when the output is good enough to ship. **Who is this for?** * Mid to senior product managers who already use AI and want to level up * PMs leading discovery or delivery on AI-powered features * Product people who want frameworks that hold up under real product pressure, not demo-ware **Course Content** *AI-Assisted Product Discovery.* We'll look at how discovery itself changes when agents can set up and maintain a research repository, synthesize qualitative insights, and run quantitative analyses alongside you. We'll talk candidly about discovery slop, research that looks shiny but is actually shitty, and how to avoid producing it. You'll practice using vibe coding from a discovery lens: choosing the right thing to test, picking the right kind of prototype, and setting it up so it delivers real signal in a live setting rather than just looking impressive in a demo. *Scaling Productivity with AI.* From building your own AI agents to designing automations across your stack, you'll learn how to spot the highest-leverage use cases in your daily work and your team's workflows, and how to actually set them up pragmatically with the tools you already use. *Building AI Products.* Shipping AI products changes what product management looks like. You often have a feasible prototype on day one; the real challenge is improving the output, handling non-determinism, and deciding when it's good enough to launch. We'll go hands-on with the building blocks that make this tractable: evaluations, observability tooling, and the product decisions around them. *Driving AI Transformation.* Getting good at AI as an individual PM is one thing; shifting an entire product organization is another. Julia will share how she is leading AI transformation at the SaaS startup she works at: how she moved the mindset of the organization, built momentum for innovation, and keeps the company on the front foot instead of waiting to be disrupted. You'll take away a clearer picture of what your role can look like in that shift, and how to start driving it from where you sit today. Throughout the day you'll work through concrete product scenarios, cut through the hype, and leave with frameworks and tools you can apply the very next day, whether you're improving how you discover, how you work, or what you ship. Throughout the day, Julia will weave in lessons from driving AI transformation inside a SaaS startup, so you leave with perspective on both the craft and the organizational shift around it. To make sure everyone arrives on the same footing, you'll receive around 2 hours of pre-workshop video material covering AI literacy essentials: how LLMs actually work, their risks and limitations, and the fundamentals of prompt engineering. The workshop itself then starts where the basics end. **What you cannot expect** * A deep dive into vibe coding as a craft. We will vibecode, but through a product discovery lens, not as a goal in itself. * A prompt engineering course. The pre-work covers the fundamentals so we can spend the day on harder, more product-specific problems. * Superficial blabla. We go into the real struggles of doing product management with and around AI, not the hype reel. “With Julia’s clarity, hands-on guidance, strong visuals and buzzword-free examples, the spark was unmistakable. She debunked the myths, demystified AI and left everyone excited to try it in product management. A real rockstar workshop.”Melanie Wyssen-Voß, Vice President Product FACT24 **COMBI-TICKETS** This workshop can be bought in combination with the Product Academy SUMMIT at a reduced rate on [our conference webite](https://eventfrog.ch/en/p/courses-seminars/vocational-education/ai-essentials-for-product-managers-workshop-7392202884182503088.html). (Prices go up on May 15, 2026!) **YOUR TRAINER** Julia Bastian is a Product Leader with more than nine years of experience building and scaling digital products and driving innovation. As VP Product at Alasco, a venture-backed proptech company, she scaled the product and engineering organization from 5 to 50 people and built strong thought leadership around B2B product discovery. Today, she leads Alasco’s AI transformation, ensuring the company harnesses AI to stay ahead of disruption and deliver real customer value. Alongside her leadership role, Julia works as an AI educator and consultant. Her goal is to accelerate product managers’ AI learning journey by making the topic approachable and lowering the entry barrier for those just starting out. Staying grounded in a real product environment is essential to her. She works hands-on on AI topics, from automating internal workflows to integrating AI agents into the product, rather than only talking about them from a consulting perspective. Julia has a special ability to visualize complex ideas, which helps her share her knowledge in a clear and engaging way and make difficult concepts feel simple and actionable.

You can also have a sideboard of up to 10 non-leader, non-base cards. Your draw deck **cannot include more than three copies of any one card**. In official Organized Play events, the winner of a Premier match is determined by **best-of-three** games in a **55-minute** round. While we understand every retail location is unique with various requirements, we encourage running your Premier events using these recommended tournament settings, but understand if you must change these settings to better suit your store's personal needs. # More Resources [Card Database](https://www.google.com/url?q=https://starwarsunlimited.com/cards&sa=D&source=calendar&usd=2&usg=AOvVaw1VdgUxv7xBvbDvAQr6--bC) [Build A Deck](https://www.google.com/url?q=https://starwarsunlimited.com/deck-builder&sa=D&source=calendar&usd=2&usg=AOvVaw01xUr35w8vYCaWi-CesiXe) *[Star Wars](https://www.google.com/url?q=https://starwarsunlimited.com/organized-play%23links&sa=D&source=calendar&usd=2&usg=AOvVaw1NCPlMWgO2zMkUL7lnCI1j)*[: Unlimited Comprehensive Event Guide](https://www.google.com/url?q=https://starwarsunlimited.com/organized-play%23links&sa=D&source=calendar&usd=2&usg=AOvVaw1NCPlMWgO2zMkUL7lnCI1j) register here: [https://melee.gg/Tournament/View/400830](https://www.google.com/url?q=https://melee.gg/Tournament/View/400830&sa=D&source=calendar&usd=2&usg=AOvVaw2hUbJ3q0Khx9OSxCznhHiu) **Follow us on:** Facekbook: [www.facebook.com/kabooom.comicshop](http://www.facebook.com/kabooom.comicshop) *Instagram:* [https://www.instagram.com/kabooom_comics/](https://www.instagram.com/kabooom_comics/) Join our Discord community: [https://discord.com/invite/XeEKXnk](https://discord.com/invite/XeEKXnk)

Most workouts ignore the place where pleasure, power, movement, and self-trust meet. This class starts there. What this is A women’s movement class that blends somatic fitness, pelvic training, breath, regulation, and embodied release. We train the body where many women want more freedom, sensation, and confidence: the pelvis, hips, legs, core, breath, and nervous system. The result is not just a stronger body. It is a body that feels more available, more responsive, more alive. Why it’s different This class works from the center outward. Through active movement patterns, angle work, holds, pleasure-linked endurance, breath-led pacing, and release, your body learns new options: more mobility, more stability, more softness, more choice. You build strength without hardening, openness without forcing, and pleasure without turning it into performance. Pelvis We train the center that shapes how you move, hold yourself, breathe, and feel. Pelvic mobility and strength can change not only posture and movement, but also how supported, confident, and free you feel in intimacy. Life Force Pleasure is not treated here as something random or performative. It is something the body becomes more available for when there is strength, breath, space, and self-contact. What some call libido, we also understand as life force — the spark behind sensuality, creativity, confidence, and aliveness. Regulation Real opening is not forced. It is regulated. That is why this class includes not only activation, but also the shift into release: breath, pelvic floor relaxation, jaw and face softening, and moments that bring you out of the head and back into the body.

Dear All, This session is mainly for the people who want to learn kundalini yoga/meditation in a traditional way. Traditionally the master will transfer his/her kundalini energy to the student to activate his important chakras (energy centre) including Third Eye and Crown Chakra. The student can start to feel his/her Kundalini Energy is rising from their base of the spine and feeling the energy vibration(Consciousness) in the third eye (the space between the eyebrows) from the Kundalini Activation. This session is helpful for the beginners who want to learn simple yoga-meditation exercises also. This is a general session to experience your inner kundalini energy. But if you need proper kundalini activation(Shaktipat), then pre-registration is mandatory. **What is included in this session?** Simple stretching practices for Hip and Spine (not complicated, even beginners can do) Kundalini Breathing Techniques Sound Energy (Mantra) Meditation Energy Healing Techniques Formal Kundalini Activation (optional and only for pre-registered people) Chakra Meditation Yoga Nidra (Relaxation) **Some of the benefits of Kundalini Energy Activation are:** Keeps the body healthy Mind attains its natural peaceful state, so the meditation becomes easy. Breathing pattern will be harmonized Stress release and peace Clear & sharp intellect More intuition Inner happiness Clairvoyance and Clairvision and to the ultimate SELF realization (which will lead to the blissful state - our true state) with enough years of practise **DONATION BASIS** **About the Teacher who conducts this session:** The kundalini wisdom teacher Jayaprakash is practising kundalini yoga since 2005 under the guidance of Self Realized Indian Master "GuruMahan". He is teaching kundalini yoga since 2008 as part of a non-profit organization "Maha Shakthi Yogam Switzerland". He teaches Yoga/Meditation/Pranic Healing/Stress Relief courses in various places of Germany and Switzerland. He is the authorized kundalini yoga wisdom teacher from UPF(India) to give kundalini initiations (Shaktipat) with the Grace and Protection of his Master. All these events are conducted for non-profit purpose. Donations are collected on behalf of Swiss non-profit organization (Verein) "Maha Shakthi Yogam - Switzerland" **Eligibility:** Anyone can attend the session even if they don't have previous yoga/Meditation experiences. **Dress:** Wear a comfortable dress if possible yoga dress. We provide the yoga mat. **Please RSVP only you are really interested and coming ! Limited Seats !** **About Kundalini Shaktipat:** In every human being there is a source of natural energy that the yogis call the kundalini. In order to evolve in the yogic path, no matter what our path, the kundalini must be active. For most of us, the kundalini lies dormant at the bottom of the spine in the base chakra known as the Muladhar. When it awakens, it ascends through the chakras until it reaches the highest chakra, the Sahasrar. When that occurs, we merge with our True Self and attain SELF realization (our true nature). Shaktipat is the transfer of spiritual energy from the teacher to the student in order to awaken the kundalini. This process is compared to lighting one candle with another that is already lit and glowing. When the teacher is connected with the fully realized master and the energy is completely within his or her control, shaktipat initiation ensures that the student’s energy will remain active and stable. "Electricity is present everywhere, but there can be light only when the switch is turned on. Similarly the true master manifests the consciousness in the disciple through shaktipat.” **HAPPINESS is our TRUE Nature, which comes from within not from outside !**

We are recruiting new group leaders for virtual men's groups! Our primary groups are outdoor movement groups, but we are launching virtual groups for the state of Ohio and beyond and the groups will move outside in the spring, creating room for men's groups, women's groups and coed groups all over the country. Read below to learn about our groups and click the links at the bottom to apply. ### **What is an Outdoor Empowerment Group?** Our Outdoor Movement & Community Empowerment Groups are simple, guided experiences designed to help people reconnect with nature, themselves, and others. We combine some form of movement (hike, walk, run, bike, yoga, workout) and meaningful conversation within a simple community circle to create a space where individuals can support each other while prioritizing mental and physical well-being. Whether you’re seeking stress relief, personal growth, or community, our groups offer everyone a unique and welcoming environment. ## **Why Join?** * **Improve Mental & Physical Well-Being** – Movement, nature, and supportive conversations reduce stress and promote balance. * **Feel Less Alone** – Build genuine connections with like-minded people in a safe, welcoming space. * **Gain Clarity & Perspective** – Step outside daily routines and into a space designed for personal growth and reflection. ## **The Ideal Group Leader** The ideal group leader * Has a born-in passion for mental health, movement, connecting with nature and building community. * Has 5 extra hours per week to dedicate to a meaningful cause for at least one year. Yes, you can leave any organization at any time and we can also ask you to leave, but we are building with legacy in mind and we need people who can commit and be ALL IN on this mission to build with us. * Is independently financially stable with the ability to volunteer with no expectation of pay. This is a deeply beautiful journey of service that all participants commit to at Speak Your Mind. * An ability to manage groups with high emotional intelligence and desire for human connection. * An ability to self-motivate and market/promote their group on Facebook and other social platforms. * Nature informed therapy or clinical therapists/psychologists a plus. ## **Our Impact**  Since launching, we have helped thousands find support, connection, and healing through our Outdoor Movement Groups. 100% of participants surveyed have reported: * A noticeable improvement in mental clarity and emotional well-being. * An increase in social connection and a sense of belonging. * Said they would return again. We believe mental health should be accessible, community-driven, and rooted in nature. Join us and take the first step toward a more connected, grounded, and supported version of yourself. ### **Why Our Groups are Donation-Based** Our Outdoor Movement Groups are made possible through a donation-based model. This approach allows us to keep our events accessible to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances, while also ensuring that we can continue expanding our reach. It’s a great way to pay it forward and support the growth of this beautiful mission! Every contribution helps us: * **Cover Essential Costs** – Donations allow us to pay essential legal, marketing, insurance, and admin costs as well as nourish the important people who run the organization. * **Grow Our Mission** – With your support, we can bring these healing experiences to thousands more people in the future and execute our long term plan to expand across the USA, affecting up to 500,000 people per year. By choosing to contribute, you’re not just leading an event—you’re helping build a mental health movement that supports long-term well-being and connection for all during a severe mental health epidemic. ## **Come Join Us!** We’d love to have you be part of this growing community of people prioritizing their mental health, movement, and connection. 🔹 **Visit Our Website to Learn More:** https://speakyourmind.men/joinusoutside 🔹 **Apply Here to Lead Your Own Group!** – https://form.jotform.com/taketimespeakyourmind/sym-group-leader-application 🔹 **Support the mission**: If you resonate with the mission and want to support, feel free to join a group before applying or donate to help us reach our goals to help more people!

Mental Health, how do you understand it? How can you improve it? How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went? Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence? Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp. This group is hosted by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations. If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!). **HOW IT WORKS** **Step 1: Bring a topic** Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event. **Step 2: Circle up & share** We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds. **Step 3: Walk, talk & float** We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!" **Step 4: Feel more alive** Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times. *For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)* **HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC** A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about. Recent topics include: * "What are you passionate about right now?" * "What makes a good friend?" * "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?" * "How do you want to be remembered?" * "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?" Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter. **WHAT TO EXPECT** This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.* But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here. **FAQ** * Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk! * We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space. * We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space. * Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know. * Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic! **LOGISTICS** * If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event. * This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs. * Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details. * If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋 **IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...** [The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up. * This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries. If the walks feel like a spark... The Board is the fire. Apply [here](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board).

Come assist Van Buren Shelter (https://ymcacolumbus.org/locations/vanburen) staff in serving dinners and cleaning up on the 3rd Tuesday of each month. Dinner for the women is 5-6 pm and for the families is 6:15-7:15 pm. There is ample free parking available in the shelter's lot. The recommended area to park is in green in the image above. There will be a new entrance for the time being. We are asking all volunteers to enter through the Donation Dock door, the orange mark on the image above. This door is located between the Single Adults and Family Shelter. You will see 2 large garage doors with a large green trash compactor in the center. Please head to the closest garage door to the building wall, with a ramp leading up. There, you will see a door with a sign stating instructions on how to enter the building. Please ring the doorbell, and a staff member will come and escort you into the building. If a staff member takes longer than 5 minutes, please call the front desk at 614-689-2020. This is a new process for us, and we do not want to keep you waiting! We appreciate your patience as we navigate this temporary change. The shelter needs a volunteer count the day before the event so sign-up ends Monday at 4:50 PM. Afterwards some of us go to the Omnipresent Atheists Weekly Meetup in progress to have a bit to eat or drink (http://www.meetup.com/omnipresentatheists/). Volunteers must be 14 or older. Since we will be working around families, the YMCA does not permit volunteering by individuals with convictions for violent or sexual crimes. The YMCA reserves the right to run background checks on volunteers. For questions, comment on this page or contact: Andrew, awhit12@yahoo.com, (614)937-5802 (cell). Please let Andrew know if you volunteer anytime other than our COUNT events so that he can count your hours toward our service record.
