🎉🔥**Road to Unconference 2026!**🔥🎉 **Event terbesar [My First Bitcoin](https://myfirstbitcoin.org/) di Asia akan segera hadir 🚀** **Kita akan mengadakan Bitcoin Unconference pertama kami—** **mengumpulkan pemula, alumni, hingga Bitcoiner dari berbagai penjuru dunia.** **📍 Surabaya — 22 Agustus 2026** **🚨Tempat terbatas.** **Kalau kamu mau jadi bagian dari ruang diskusi yang beda…** **👉 amankan tiketmu sekarang:** **[unconference.bitcoinindonesia.xyz](https://unconference.bitcoinindonesia.xyz/)** Halo Bitcoiner Bintaro! 👋 Selama ini, kita mungkin lebih sering melihat Bitcoin sebagai sesuatu yang dibeli, disimpan, lalu… ditunggu. Tapi pernah nggak kepikiran kalau Bitcoin juga bisa *diputar* dalam kehidupan sehari-hari? 🤔 Di meetup kali ini, kita bakal ngobrol santai tentang *Sirkular Ekonomi*—sebuah konsep di mana Bitcoin nggak cuma jadi aset, tapi juga digunakan langsung dalam aktivitas sehari-hari. Dari beli, jual, sampai transaksi antar individu, semuanya jadi bagian dari ekosistem yang hidup. 🔄⚡ Kita akan bahas bagaimana sirkular ekonomi bisa terbentuk, kenapa ini penting untuk adopsi jangka panjang, dan bagaimana peran komunitas jadi kunci dalam menjalankannya. Karena tanpa penggunaan nyata, Bitcoin akan selalu terasa “jauh” dari keseharian kita. 💬 Menariknya, dari sini kita bisa melihat Bitcoin bukan cuma soal harga atau investasi, tapi tentang bagaimana nilai itu benar-benar bergerak dan digunakan. Dari situ, pemahaman kita biasanya jadi lebih grounded dan realistis. 💡 Nggak perlu langsung kebayang besar—justru kita mulai dari hal-hal kecil yang mungkin bisa dilakukan di sekitar kita. Karena sirkular ekonomi itu tumbuh pelan-pelan, dari kebiasaan sederhana yang dilakukan bersama. 🌱 Meetup ini cocok buat kamu yang penasaran bagaimana Bitcoin bisa lebih “hidup” dalam keseharian, atau yang ingin melihat sisi lain dari penggunaan Bitcoin di luar sekadar simpan. ✨ Seperti biasa, suasananya santai dan terbuka. Kamu bisa tanya, sharing, atau sekadar ikut menyimak juga nggak masalah. 🤝 Yuk gabung dan mulai bayangkan bagaimana Bitcoin bisa jadi bagian dari aktivitas sehari-hari, bukan cuma sesuatu yang disimpan. Sampai ketemu di meetup! 🚀⚡ 📌 Info Penting:🔸 **Tiket GRATIS**!

Hello, Jakarta Writer! **Are you a member of [Jakarta Friends](https://www.meetup.com/jakarta-friends/) yet?** Want to see **pictures** of past events? **[Take a look here!](https://www.meetup.com/jakarta-creatives/photos/)** And feel free to upload a few pictures you might take at the event 😊 JakWri (former Jakarta Creatives) and JakFri is **the** biggest, first, most active, and most inclusive MeetUp community in Jakarta... and we invite you to join us for this **Fun Writing Challenge #7** Everyone is always welcome to join our events. Our community is all about creating authentic in-person connections in this urban jungle. Come as you are... it’s the best version of yourself. **ABOUT THE EVENT** This event is a fun, communal event to train your creative writing muscle. **It's easy and fun, and writers with every level of expertise and every kind of experience are welcome to join!** This is how it works: Everyone will receive a prompt, and they will need to write a short piece based on that for about \~1h. After that, everyone will read or listen to what the others have written, and we will comment and discuss. We don't aim at criticizing, but at helping and elevating each other. **Writing should be fun; writing together is even funnier!** Sharing what you have written is optional. You can just join to unleash your creativity and follow the conversation on other's creative journeys. We meet for a circa 3 hour session at Bali Coffee House in Lebak Bulus for our creative writing challenges. We have \~30 minutes to set up and get into the mood, \~1 hour of quiet and individual writing, and \~1,5h to discuss our writings. The writing challenge is as follows: 1. Prepare your writing kit (pen and paper, notebook, laptop, phone … take your pick) 2. The theme for each writing challenge session will be different. (For example: “Fools". You can refer to anything you like, from April Fool’s Day to simply feeling silly for doing something.) 3. You have only \~1 hour to write anything based on that theme, whether it’s a poem, a flash fiction, a short story, or just a rant. 4. After that time, gather and start sharing what you have just written. (This is, of course, **optional** for those willing to do it.) 5. At the end we will discuss our writing process, and what we liked in other's pieces. We don't want to criticize, but to help and support each others as writers! 6. Just show up and dive into the challenge. Everyone will be working on their stuff, and we won't discuss it during writing. You’ll surprise yourself with what you can do in such a short time. **Be on time.** After the sharing session, you’re welcome to resume your writing mode or simply hang out and chat about writing or anything related. We can also share each other's texts and give feedback, if that's something someone would like to do. We have organised this event before!

**Soulbits Circle: A Monthly Gathering** **Every fragment of your story is medicine; come weave it into being** **Hosted by: Caitlynn Fortson** **[www.kalikwellnesswithin.org](www.kalikwellnesswithin.org) \| [www.centerfornewlife.org](www.centerfornewlife.org)** **The Center for New Life or Virtual, upon request** **Monthly Circles \| Fridays 6:30\-7:30PM** **Upcoming Dates: 5/1, 5/29, 6/26, 7/24, 8/28, 9/25, 10/23, 11/27, 12/18** A monthly healing space where we gather to tend the pieces of ourselves and weave them back into wholeness that we are. Each session opens with a Soulbits oracle image setting the tone for the gathering we will move through. We will come together to honor the natural rhythms of rooting, rising, releasing, and receiving; the cycles that shape the soul’s journey. Through the four pillars of being: mindset, movement, connection & nourishment, we will create a space where imagery, sensation, and community weave together. Where the body becomes the guide, images act as mirrors, and the soul speaks. This circle is about noticing what rises, honoring what’s true, and reconnecting with the parts of yourself ready to be seen. This is a space to gather your scattered pieces, soften your body, and return to your truth with community by your side. Soulbits Circle is a reminder that every fragment of your story, every soulbit, belongs. Together we weave them into the blooming wholeness that you are. *Energy Exchange: 1-group $20-40 or 6-group $115* *Payment Options: Venmo or Cash* **Please RSVP to [Caitlynn](https://kalikwellnesswithin.org/) via** **email @ [kalik.wellnesswithin@gmail.com](mailto:kalik.wellnesswithin@gmail.com)** **text @ ‪(614) 407-4021‬** 💫

Join us as we get together to get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event! We have a great little community of Movie Group friends so rather than see a movie this time, we’ll help “Create a better world” by helping serve those in need. NOTE: We’re switching it up this time and going with a DINNER shift on Mon, 7/6. Here are complete details and our plan for this event: FAITH MISSION – GRANT KITCHEN: The Faith Mission kitchen and dining room serves residents 3 meals a day, every day of the year. For this event, our group will help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents in the dining room, wash dishes, and clean surfaces. PLAN: We will be preparing / serving / cleaning for DINNER from 4:30 to 6:30pm and have space for a total of 7 volunteers. Please arrive at 4:20pm and wear closed-toe shoes and long pants. LOCATION: Faith Mission – Grant Kitchen is located at 245 N. Grant Ave. Enter the kitchen at Dock 1 (in the back of the building), indicated in the attached map. On-site parking in the adjacent lot and street parking are available in the surrounding area. Below are some links / attachments with additional info/details: IMPORTANT REMINDER: Our group will be providing all of the volunteers on this day so a firm RSVP count is essential. Please only sign up if you are certain you’ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please try to update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. With few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve. Our Partner Agency for this event is Lutheran Social Services! A huge THANK YOU to those volunteering at this (or any of our previous or future) CMG Gives Back events! Look forward to seeing you there, Dan

Communication is everything in life You are only as successful as your ability to communicate. \- What if you could confidently talk to anyone? \- What if you had the ability to calmly control every conversation? \- What if you could close that sale\, ask for that date\, make new friends\, repair problematic relationships\, get that raise\, or effortlessly express any idea with confidence? You can! The secret to success relies on your ability or inability to effectively communicate. Attend a free seminar and gain a better ability to communicate.
