IF THE EVENT IS FULL, PLEASE USE THE LINK BELOW TO SIGN UP Ready to meet people who value depth, presence, and real connection? It starts here. 👉 Join us: [https://www.consciousconnectionsclub.com/join](https://www.consciousconnectionsclub.com/join) Passcode to Zoom: 978508 Doors close 3 minutes after we begin — to support safety and full presence. ### What to Expect If you're tired of small talk, dating apps, or social spaces that feel disconnected — you're not alone. In just 30 minutes, you’ll experience how our Connection Games create a different kind of space: grounded, spacious, playful, and real. This is not a drop-in or matchmaking event. It’s a slow, intentional process of meeting people who care about conscious relating, emotional awareness, and nervous system-regulated connection. After completing a Welcome Call, you’ll be invited to join our events in the city you are based or locations you visit regularly (more than 20+ locations worldwide). ### What You’ll Walk Away With Presence & Ease No performance. No pressure. Just being yourself — and meeting others doing the same. Friendships That Matter Many walk away with deep, lasting friendships. Sometimes romance unfolds. That said, the focus is on connection — and growth. Relational Skills That Stay With You Our games and practices support self-awareness, curiosity, and co-regulation — tools you can bring into conversations anywhere: dates, friendships, even family dinners. ### How to Join Everyone starts with a Welcome Call — unless personally invited by one of our members. This helps us create intentional, safe, and aligned spaces. 📍 Join the call: [Click here to join](https://www.consciousconnectionsclub.com/join) Zoom link will be emailed. Can’t find it? Search: connect@consciousconnectionsclub.com ### Upon Completing Your Call, You'll Get: * Access to RSVP for our facilitated singles events * 25% off your first ticket (when eligible) * The chance to meet people in your city who match your values ### This Is For You If: * You’re craving more realness, laughter, and depth * You’re new in town, navigating change, or done with modern dating fatigue * You value personal growth, mindfulness, and authentic connection * You’re curious about yourself and others Some people leave the call thinking: “Where have you all been my whole life?” Others realize it’s not their scene — and that’s perfect too. ### Already Know This Is Your Scene? Or just want to put your name down for your city? 👉 [https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join](https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join) (You’ll still need to attend a Welcome Call before joining any event.) *** ### Clarifying Meetup Numbers Numbers shown on Meetup ≠ actual attendees. Everyone you’ll meet has completed a Welcome Call or been invited by one of our members — so the space starts aligned, safe, and meaningful. ### A Quick Note on Privacy Your info stays with us. We never sell or share your data — it’s only used to support your experience and help you connect with aligned people. This isn’t about trying harder. It’s about slowing down, showing up, and letting real connection happen. We’d love to meet you. [Join the Welcome Call.](http://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join)

We live in times of social and political turmoil. So did the Stoics two millennia ago. Is there any guidance they could give us about how to navigate that kind of challenge? It is often said that the Stoics did not have much to contribute to discussions of politics, because Stoicism is an inward-looking, personal philosophy. But is that really the case? Join John Sellars and Massimo Pigliucci for an exploration of Stoicism and politics, with the aim not just to learn from the ancients, but to figure out, together, reason-based approaches to what is happening around the world right now. Suggested readings: Seneca’s [On Clemency](https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/A/bo5586869.html) and [On Benefits](https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/O/bo3773596.html). Cicero’s [On Duties](https://www.gutenberg.org/files/47001/47001-h/47001-h.htm). Epictetus’s [Discourses](https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/C/bo174912060.html). Marcus Aurelius’s [Meditations](https://www.basicbooks.com/titles/marcus-aurelius/meditations/9781541673854/). <<>> Location: [Hotel Atlantico](https://www.romehotelatlantico.it/en/) (Cavour room), Via Cavour 23, Rome (Italy). This event is sponsored by the [Stoa Nova](https://newstoicism.org/) school for a new Stoicism, and will be facilitated by two of its faculty. <<>> Program Friday, 9 January Morning session: Introduction—Traditional Greek political thinking in the polis (Plato, Aristotle); the shift after Alexander (Cynics, cosmopolitanism); active Stoics versus retiring Epicureans. (John & Massimo) Afternoon session: Cicero (and Panaetius)—On Duties. (Massimo) Saturday, 10 January Morning session: Seneca—On Clemency and On Benefits. (Massimo) Afternoon session: Epictetus and the Stoic Opposition. Stoicism and tyranny. (John) Sunday, 11 January Morning session: Marcus Aurelius and politics, selections from Meditations. (John) Afternoon: Half-day excursion to either [the Roman Forum](https://ticketing.colosseo.it/en/eventi/24h-colosseo-foro-romano-palatino/) (if the weather is good) or [Palazzo Massimo](https://museonazionaleromano.beniculturali.it/en/palazzo-massimo/) and the [Baths of Diocletian](https://museonazionaleromano.beniculturali.it/en/baths-of-diocletian/). (Both latter locations are part of the Roman National Museum, only one ticket needed). <<>> About the facilitators: [Massimo Pigliucci](https://massimopigliucci.org/) is an author, blogger, podcaster, as well as the K.D. Irani Professor of Philosophy at the City College of New York. His new book is [Beyond Stoicism](https://theexperimentpublishing.com/catalogs/winter-2025/beyond-stoicism/): A Guide to the Good Life with Stoics, Skeptics, Epicureans, and Other Ancient Philosophers (with Greg Lopez and Meredith Kunz, The Experiment). He is also the best selling author of [How to Be a Stoic](https://www.basicbooks.com/titles/massimo-pigliucci/how-to-be-a-stoic/9780465097968/): Using Ancient Philosophy to Live a Modern Life. [John Sellars](http://www.johnsellars.org.uk/) is a Reader in Philosophy at Royal Holloway, University of London (where he is currently program lead for Philosophy). He is a founder member of the [London Centre for Ancient Philosophy](https://lcap.ics.sas.ac.uk/). John is also a member of two non-profit organizations aimed at bringing the ancient philosophy of Stoicism to a wider audience, [Modern Stoicism](https://modernstoicism.com/) (of which he is the current Chair) and [The Aurelius Foundation](https://www.aureliusfoundation.com/).

SQL Server 2025 delivers a major round of improvements across performance, security, manageability, and hybrid connectivity, and this session gives you a practical, no‑nonsense tour of what matters most. We’ll cover enhancements to the core engine, query processing, storage, and availability that benefit DBAs and developers regardless of where SQL Server runs. You’ll see how SQL Server 2025 aligns with Azure SQL’s roadmap while still supporting strong on‑premises and VM‑based deployments. We’ll highlight new management, monitoring, and troubleshooting capabilities designed to simplify operations and reduce firefighting. AI‑powered features exist in this release, but the focus here is on the foundational improvements you can use immediately. Whether you’re modernizing, maintaining, or planning your next upgrade cycle, this session will help you understand what’s new and how to prepare your environment and your team.

**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** GitHub Copilot is rapidly changing how developers write, understand, and maintain code. Powered by generative AI and deeply integrated into modern development environments, Copilot acts as an intelligent coding assistant, helping developers move faster while maintaining quality and focus. In this session, we’ll explore what GitHub Copilot is, how it works, and where it fits into a real-world developer workflow. We’ll break down what Copilot can (and cannot) do, where it can be used, and how licensing differs for individuals and organizations. Most importantly, this talk goes beyond theory with a live, hands-on demo showcasing Copilot inside the IDE and on GitHub, demonstrating how it can assist with code generation, refactoring, learning new APIs, and accelerating day-to-day development tasks. Designed for developers, technical leads, and engineering managers, this session provides a practical introduction to AI-assisted development, highlights best practices for getting value from Copilot, and closes with guidance on how to continue learning and evolving alongside this rapidly advancing tool. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how GitHub Copilot can enhance productivity, improve developer experience, and fit into modern software teams today, not someday. **YouTube Link** TBA

Coming in January 2026: a warm, reflective gathering to close one chapter and open another. More details coming soon. Together, we look back at the moments, shifts, and practices that shaped the past year—what worked, what surprised us, and what we’re ready to release. Then we lean forward into who we want to become: the intentions, experiments, and stories we want next January’s version of ourselves to be telling. A gentle, inspiring circle that invites clarity, connection, and shared wisdom.Check us out on Meetup to learn more and rsvp #womeninagilecolumbus #womeninagile

## Learn Infrastructure-as-Code (the FUN Way) — Through Minecraft 🎮☁️ **Joint Meetup: Azure CBUS × Columbus HashiCorp User Group** What if learning Terraform and Infrastructure-as-Code didn’t feel like a whitepaper… but more like a game? Join us for a joint Azure CBUS and Columbus HashiCorp User Group meetup where **Mark Tinderholt** \(Principal Architect\, Microsoft Azure \| HashiCorp Ambassador \| “The Azure Terraformer”\) shows how **Minecraft** can be used as a surprisingly powerful way to understand real-world Infrastructure-as-Code concepts. In this session, Mark will demonstrate how Terraform and Azure can be used to provision, configure, and manage Minecraft servers—while teaching the same patterns you’d use for production cloud infrastructure. ### What we’ll cover * Infrastructure-as-Code fundamentals using **Terraform** * Provisioning real infrastructure on **Azure** * Applying **IaC best practices** (immutability, repeatability, versioning) * How playful environments like Minecraft make complex concepts *click* * Why learning through experimentation beats click-ops every time ### Who should attend * Developers, platform engineers, and cloud engineers * Terraform users (new or experienced) * Anyone curious about Infrastructure-as-Code but tired of boring examples * Minecraft fans who want to see it used in a totally unexpected way No prior Minecraft experience required—just curiosity and a willingness to learn infrastructure the fun way. Come for the blocks, stay for the Terraform. 🧱➡️📐 Want to be a speaker? submit your talk to our Call for Presenters!!! https://sessionize.com/cbus-hug-2026/
