About OpenClaw
Forget simple Q&A. We are entering the era of proactive AI.
OpenClaw (formerly ClawdBot) is an open source framework that closes the gap between generative AI and real operational execution. AI agents operate inside everyday messengers such as Telegram or WhatsApp and autonomously perform complex business workflows.
This event provides a deep dive into the architecture, capabilities, risks, and future implications of agentic systems that will fundamentally reshape how companies operate.

Why OpenClaw
OpenClaw represents a major milestone.

This marks the transition from passive tools to operational AI agents.

Spring Equinox- The Wiccan Fellowship Wheel of the Year Open Ritual!
**In Wicca and other Neo-Pagan traditions the "Wheel of the Year" is central: Eight yearly festivals that echo the seasonal rites of our ancestors.**
**This month's celebration is SPRING EQUINOX!**
The **Spring Equinox**, also known as **Ostara**, is a celebration of perfect balance—when day and night stand in equal measure before the light begins to overcome the dark. In Wiccan tradition, this is a moment of potent harmony, a sacred pause between the inward rest of winter and the outward blossoming of spring. Nature is stirring with fresh vitality: buds are breaking open, the air carries warmth, and the pulse of life quickens all around us.
Ostara honors the **Goddess in her maiden form**, radiant with promise and possibility, and the **God as a young, green force**, full of vigor and life. Together they dance the cycle of creation. This sabbat is a time of renewal, planting seeds (both literal and spiritual), and committing to the intentions we want to bring to fruition in the months ahead. It’s a celebration of fertility, creativity, and joyful emergence—when we align ourselves with nature’s rhythm and step forward into growth, purpose, and enchantment. 🌸🐣🌿
**TICKETS: You can pay cash at the door (EUR 20) or buy a ticket online HERE (EUR 15):**
[https://www.eventbrite.com/e/fellowship-of-the-western-mysteries-open-ritual-tickets-1979108351355?aff=erelexpmlt](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/fellowship-of-the-western-mysteries-open-ritual-tickets-1979108351355?aff=erelexpmlt)
**(Online tickets are non-refundable.)**
**The event and the ritual will be held in English** unless otherwise noted. We sometimes do have other groups host rituals, and sometimes they work in other languages. If that is the case it will be noted here.
**Doors open at 19:30**. Ritual talk-through will start at 20:00 or so and the ritual will start soon after the talk-through. Ritual length varies but the ritual itself should be over by 21:30 to 22:00. Afterwords there will be time for socializing and merrymaking, so plan to stay longer if you're feeling social and you can. If not of course you can go when you wish. :-) There is an open bar on-site. :-)
**Attire:** Street clothes are fine but try to come dressed as much as possible in a single colour- black and white are best. If you have ritual attire (robes etc.) and would like to wear them, feel free.
Beginners and experienced practioners alike, as well as the merely curious are welcomed. We will explain everything you need to do before the ritual- it's possible (and completely fine) to jump right in.
The environment is friendly and welcoming and newcomers are welcomed! We do a full talk-through before the ritual, explain what the ritual is about and what everyone needs to know and understand, and we'll guide you through the whole thing, so there is really no problem coming if you have no idea what to expect.
Run in partnership with our friends at The Hexen/Heiden Stammtisch [Feuerkreise.at](https://feuerkreise.at/forum/index.php)/ [https://www.facebook.com/groups/271329456233561](https://www.facebook.com/groups/271329456233561).
**Feuerkreis Verein members receive a discounted entry- EUR 5.**
This must be paid at the door and in cash.

**Was dich erwartet:** In einer wertschätzenden Atmosphäre nutzen wir einfache Spiele und Bewegung, um:
* 🌱 **"Ja, genau!" zu sagen:** Impulse annehmen statt sie zu zerdenken.
* ✨ **Fehler zu feiern:** Perfektionismus ablegen und spielerisch "scheitern".
* 🧠 **Präsenz zu stärken:** Ganz im Hier und Jetzt reagieren.
* 🤝 **Gemeinsam zu lachen:** Kurze, humorvolle Übungen ohne Leistungsdruck.
**Der Ablauf:** Wir starten mit einer Stunde lockerer Gruppenspiele. Danach folgen sehr kurze, lustige Impro-Szenen.
**Wichtig:** Du machst nur das, worauf du Lust hast. Es ist ein Safe Space – keine Vorkenntnisse nötig!

Astrology Cafe - connect with the inner Life
🎊 2026 – such an astrologically momentous year! With significant planetary shifts and super rare cosmic alignments on the horizon, there's no better time to deepen your connection with yourself and understand what this unbelievable year has in store.
**Why Astrology?**
Astrology is a symbolic language 🌌 and, as such, it is the ideal method for understanding and connecting with our unconscious. If you want to get to know yourself better and strengthen the connection to your inner wisdom and creativity, then this session is for you. 💫
**What Makes This Different:**
This is not a classical teaching event. Rather, what you can expect here is a fun, guided experience, mixing astrology with **creative journaling** ✍️ and **meditative reflection** 🧘. You will get a chance to flex your intuitive muscles and also meet some like-minded seekers and thinkers. After this session, you will understand how astrology can be used to forge a deeper connection with yourself and access more of the magic you carry.
**What to Expect:**
This cozy session will give you the chance to connect with peers and become more mindful of your astrology journey through deeper understanding and perspectives. Every week we are working on a different topic, question, chart placement, etc. Feel free to become a regular, or drop by whenever you wish.
🌙 We will begin the session with an introduction of all participants
⭐ We will then guide you through various exercises in small groups, meant to help you to explore the wealth that astrology has in store for you.
💬 The session will conclude with an open discussion, and a chance to ask any questions.
**Who Should Attend:**
This session is open to complete beginners 🌱 as well as those who have experience with astrology. It is recommended to have your birth chart available. To generate your chart, I recommend using the website ***astro.com***
💰This event is offered COMPLETELY FREE OF CHARGE but donations are more than welcome. You can donate using **PayPal** (paypal.me/furtunadincarpati) or **Revolut** (revolut.me/misterclarity).

From Web Forms to Web Components - Burton Smith
**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**
Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively.
This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way.
