📚 Books & Social 🍸
📚Reading books and discussing them are two distinct experiences! Conversations about books and sharing insights help us better appreciate literature and enrich our lives.
Let's grab a drink (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) and discuss books we're currently reading or have recently enjoyed—whether poetry, fiction, or non-fiction. Bring your physical book or e-reader.
There's no formal structure or agenda—just books and good conversation.💬
It's a perfect place to get book recommendations and rediscover your reading momentum if you've hit a slump. We welcome readers of all backgrounds and interests!
⚠️**Something Happened?**
If something unpleasant happened to you, it may happen to others. Even if it seems minor, don't hesitate to reach out to me.
🔍 **How to find us?**
* When I reach the venue, I'll leave a comment in the meetup where the group is seated. Normally, the booking is in my name, so you can ask the staff for the group.
* If you're unable to find us, leave a comment in the meetup page. I'll be able to guide you.
We highly encourage you to move between tables and strike up conversations with fellow book lovers. These discussions about literature and reading recommendations are often the highlight of the event!
As an organizer, I'm always looking for feedback about the event and suggestions for new events, so feel free to suggest ideas to me. 💡
I look forward to seeing you all! 😊

Transformers in Pratice
If you’ve worked with LLMs, you’ve probably run into slow inference, out-of-memory errors, or hallucinations you couldn’t explain. There’s no shortage of resources on how transformers work, but most of them either ask you to build one from scratch or get lost in theory that doesn’t connect to the problems you’re actually facing.
Transformers in Practice is different.
We will give a complete practical view of how transformers work, from how they generate text to what’s happening inside the model to how it all gets optimized to run on real hardware. Interactive visualizations throughout let you see key concepts in action and build intuition that actually sticks.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
* **Model Behavior:** You’ll learn how LLMs generate text through an autoregressive loop, selecting one token at a time from a probability distribution. You’ll see how sampling parameters like temperature shape the output, why hallucinations happen, and how techniques like RAG, constrained generation, and chain-of-thought reasoning all work within this same loop.
* **Model Architecture and Attention:** You’ll look inside the transformer to understand what attention is really doing, how positional encoding tracks token order, and how multiple layers and attention heads work together to turn an input sequence into a next-token prediction.
* **Scaling and Deploying:** You’ll learn why GPUs are well-suited for transformer inference and where the real bottlenecks are. You’ll build practical intuition for quantization, KV caching, flash attention, and speculative decoding, including the tradeoffs each one introuces for cost, speed, and output quality.
The minimum fee is to pay the venue and avoid no show and make this group of people sustainable in the long term

Relating Lab: The art of receiving
**An evening for over-givers**
I asked the people who follow my work: "What's harder for you: giving or receiving?" The answers came back almost identical. Giving is easy. Receiving doesn't always come naturally. People described it as a burden, a debt, an awkwardness, a thing they'd been taught they had to earn first. One person said, "It's safer not to want."
Most of us were trained to be *over-developed givers* and under-developed receivers, and we live the rest of our lives slightly off-balance because of it. The Relating Lab is a 105-minute group session to explore this topic, guided by a psychologist.
**Who this is for**
* You can give for hours. Receiving for five minutes feels strange.
* When someone gives you something, you feel like you owe them something back.
* You don't always know what you actually want.
* You notice yourself trying to be worthy of the good things in your life.
* You wish for more affection in your friendships without awkwardness.
* You suspect that the way you were taught about love and worth in childhood is still running quietly in the background.
**What we'll do**
* A guided meditation on a recent moment when receiving felt hard
* Paired work with a simple exercise that can change how you understand every interaction in your life.
* A closing sound bath where you receive together.
* A closing circle.
**What this is not**
This is not therapy. Not a workshop you'll have to perform at. Not a "share your trauma" circle. Just come as you are and give this topic the time it deserves.
*Your only task is to **receive**. Not to deserve it. Not to repay it. Not to make anything happen. Just let it land.*
**The practical bits**
Sunday 31 May, 4–5:45 pm. Calm Rooms, Monkstown. €27. Up to 15 seats. RSVP through this Meetup. Wear something comfortable that you can sit on the floor in. Bring a water bottle.
**About me**
I'm Olena. I'm a psychologist (PSI graduate member), doing a PhD in organisational psychology, with somatic and consent-based training on top. I run cacao ceremonies and cuddle therapy sessions in Dublin. The Relating Lab is a series of four events that I'll be running monthly through the summer. Each event is focused on a different quadrant of the Wheel of Consent. This is the entry point. Come and share this space with like-minded people.
**Everything is opt-in.** You can pass on any exercise without explaining why.
This event is an introduction to future workshops about giving, receiving, taking, and allowing. It's a safe space; the exercises might include some platonic touch (if you opt in). Every participant is invited to come with reverence for others in the group.

**About me:**
I invite you into the **revolutionary return to the body** — where pleasure is sacred, expression is your liberation, and a harmonious relationship with all of life becomes not something you seek, but something you live. — through art, ritual, and embodied experience, we journey - to welcome the mystical, the tender, the creative, the human, the raw , the real , the ALIVE.
I spent years in numbness, depression, disaccosiation or just floating by. Now i am passionate about the Architecture of our Aliveness & the restoration of connection back to our bodies. Our body is a temple space \~ When we give her space to unravel. She blooms with reverence and love. Self-care is not over the top - it's a necessity for a thriving life. And to honour the messages we receive , to truly step into the manifestation of our dreams. That is your birthright.

Zazen Meditation + Dharma talk or Kinhin
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!

Tuesday, June 2nd, 5:00–8:30 PM Eastern
Central Ohio Chapter Meeting
IN PERSON IN COLUMBUS
How I Get Private Lenders and Partners to Fund My Deals
If you can’t fund it, you don’t have a deal.
And right now, funding is where more investors are getting stuck.
Private lenders are more cautious.
Partners are asking better questions.
And deals that look good on paper still fall apart when the money doesn’t show up.
That’s why we’re bringing in a panel of investors who are actually getting their deals funded right now.
You’ll hear how they’re finding money, structuring deals, and building relationships that lead to repeat funding.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
* Where they’re finding private lenders today
* How they start conversations that lead to funding
* What makes lenders and partners say YES
* How they structure deals to be fundable
* The biggest mistakes investors make when raising money
* How to build repeat funding relationships
**Early Session (6:00–7:00 PM Eastern):**
**Having Trouble Finding Tenants? How Community Shelter Board Can Help**
Nicholas Brenner will walk you through programs designed to help rapidly rehouse tenants, including financial support that can stabilize your rentals.
**The Deal Room (7:00–7:30 PM Eastern)**
Bring deals, funding needs, buyers, and problems.
This is where connections turn into action.
This meeting is for serious real estate investors nationwide, and we’re known for our high-content, real-life education and our nationwide community of dealmakers.
Members and non-members at all levels are welcome.
Register below to reserve your seat.

In-Person Event: The Answers to Depression & Anxiety
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.
