Insight Development Mediumship Meditation Circle - Ongoing Thursdays
INSIGHT DEVELOPMENT MEDIUMSHIP MEDITATION CIRCLES are offered on Tuesday and Thursday nights. Participants attend their respective nights, regularly.
Our Thursday Circle has been meeting every week since 2014. They have bonded, beautifully, and are very successful. Those who have made the commitment, who do their homework and show up regularly have strengthened their identities and experienced amazing changes in their perspectives, awareness, intuition and abilities.
*YOUR LEVEL OF GROWTH IS EQUAL TO YOUR LEVEL OF COMMITMENT*
This ONGOING, WEEKLY CLASS OFFERS a proven method for developing your psychic talent, a progressive way to heighten your experiences and perceptive reading ability through meditation. Some of the most famous mediums and channelers were trained in this method. It is designed for the serious seeker and devotee; to attract those who wish to transform their lives; and, to uncover skills, techniques and a new, sacred outlook.
STOP YOUR CONFERENCE HOPPING! Not another class, book or teleseminar that leaves you with lots of information but without developing your "knowing"… Believing and trusting are replaced with your “truth” because you have questioned it, felt it, seen it, understood it and, now, know it!
Through this, YOU WILL LEARN TO: relieve daily stress; make better choices; better handle "challenges"; heal yourself at a soul level, and promote balance, harmony, clarity and focus in your everyday life.
The PURPOSE OF THE EXERCISE is to stimulate and challenge you to step beyond your current limitations; to develop your clair-senses; to know you are part of the Divine essence; and, to trust in and prove you are connected to G-d, your Angels and loved ones who have passed over.
FOR BEGINNERS AND THE EXPERIENCED. Move at your own pace with the support and heightened sensitivities of the group environment.
SPACE IS LIMITED - RSVP, ASAP!!
DURING COVID-19, we will gather by Zoom and/or Conference Calls.
AFTER COVID-19, we gather at Planet Soul Holistic Center in Baltimore (Pikesville), MD. We may be able to continue by Zoom, if you are out of the area.
WEEKLY ATTENDANCE IS EXPECTED. This is a continuous class.
THIS CIRCLE, ALSO, SERVES AS A PRE-REQUISITE FOR Year One of the Mid-Atlantic Spiritual Science Academy, and is a part of the metaphysical school's application process.
FEE - The charge for this class, across the world, averages $20 per session; however, anyone committed to their evolvement is welcome. No one will be turned away.
A sliding scale CASH Donation is Suggested of $10 - $20 - $25 in order to keep the ebb and flow of energy moving, to help defray costs and to allow services to continue for all.

Online NEW IDEA Circle, a 1X STARTUP WORKSHOP.
Want to start? Seem to just not be able to get going? Here's help!
Whether you are a business owner, or you want to be a business owner, or you are an employee or volunteer, if you want to launch something new, join us here in Denver any Friday from 2:30 to 4 p.m. the hard workers can then return to their work, others can take off early for the weekend.
If you or any of your associates are visiting Denver, be sure to visit us. If you like the meeting we can help them start something similar in your hometown in cooperation with their local chamber or service club and community newspaper. We say it's 1X because if we are successful you will be too busy to come back the next week!
_________________________________________________
WE need your help to help YOU!
Starting now each Online IDEA Circle will be NEW, we will keep it fresh by using the dynamic Socrates Cafe format (thanks Chris Phillips), but limiting the focus to topics having to do with startup, a one time meeting where anyone can bring their startup problems and opportunities for a Fresh Thought Hunt (FTH,) for more about FTH see the HBR Press book "Just Start."
We start and end with a meeting of the whole, the Fresh Thought Hunt itself will take place in groups of 3 through the magic of computer science. RSVP here now to make sure we save a seat for you.
'
The NEW IDEA Circle is free and open to anyone and everyone who is starting something new, a new business prior to the first sale, or an established business or an individual who wants to start in a new direction. The only requirement is a clear statement of what you want the Fresh Thought Hunt to focus on for you.
The first 10-minutes of each NEW IDEA Circle will be recorded and will be posted on our YouTube Channel for SBCC that has been inactive from it's founding long ago. (On YouTube search for Small Business Chamber of Commerce, Inc. or via Facebook/SmallBizChamber.)
We encourage each of our SBCC fellow members to join us at a Socrates Cafe Online, Fridays, Saturdays, 1st Sundays, and Tuesdays, 6:30 p.m. Denver time, 8:30 p.m. Eastern, 5:30 p.m. Pacific, suggest the topic of startup or whatever topic might help you the most, and to eventually form a similar Socrates Cafe and New IDEA Cafe in your local library, coffee shop, or other public meeting place with the sponsorship of one of your local chambers of commerce and your local community newspaper. For more see our Facebook Page via www.SmallBizChamber.org and "Visit Group" to join while it's still free.
Once you have started a Socrates Cafe or a NEW IDEA Circle, you will be invited to JOIN OUR NEW SBCC WREN COLLEGE and a FACULTY PEER GROUP, see https://WrenCollege.org for online application for being a faculty member and a student, and to request help starting your new Socrates Cafe. Questions about this are answered each week at our Monday Noon Newcomers workshop.
____________________________________________
We encourage you to: Watch one; Lead one; Start one!
Be a startup catalyst for your community by starting an IDEA Cafe with your local community newspaper.
Starting in a new direction? No matter what you want to start, a new career, a new project or campaign, or a new business, we can help you start faster, cheaper, and with less risk.
The Small Business Chamber of Commerce, Inc. and our free, open meetings and peer groups are inspired by the clubs that formed in London during the English civil war that resulted in Sir Christopher Wren giving the first talk in a Franklin Circle type meeting that eventually became the Royal Academy.
GROUND RULES:
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY that has been developed over the last 20+ years is freely shared. You are welcome to take any of our procedures, forms, methods, and techniques to use for your own purpose, there is no charge.
CONFIDENTIALITY We ask everyone to keep who attends and what is said by participants confidential, but there is, of course, no way we can be sure of this so protect your own anonymity by only using your last name, not giving anyone your contact information, etc. until you decide to be in our membership directory.
MEMBERSHIP DIRECTORY No RSVP ever is required and most don't until they decide to be an active member and to be in our published SBCC Denver Membership Directory. Next plan to publish a printed membership directory soon.

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Finding Product Insights
**The Behavior Gap: Where Products Win or Lose**
Teams today have more data than ever, and yet many still struggle to understand why customers adopt, engage with, or abandon their products. Teams sprint, ship faster, and chase more signals… all while metrics stall and confidence drops. The missing piece isn’t more data. It’s often the behavioral insight between the metrics, explaining why the numbers move in the first place. Dashboards can tell you what customers did, but understanding why they did it (and how to influence what they do next) requires a deeper blend of insights. This session is about closing that gap.
Drawing from real-world experience designing and scaling products as [ZoCo Design](https://zocodesign.com/)’s CEO, [Lacey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) will share how to cut through the noise and identify the insights that actually change behavior—moving people, and moving metrics. You’ll learn:
* Why understanding customer behavior is a quant and qual challenge
* How to spot the signals that actually predict behavior change
* Where AI accelerates insight, and where it creates distraction
* How to get meaningfully closer to customers, without adding more tools
This talk reframes how to evaluate performance and identify what levers actually improve it, helping your team to make smarter bets with greater confidence. Every meaningful outcome is driven by behavior change. And when you know how to design for behavior, you stop guessing, and start building things that work.
**About Our Speaker**
[Lacey Picazo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) is the Founder and CEO of ZoCo, a healthcare product studio that turns complex, high-stakes ideas into products that drive real-world adoption. She partners with healthcare organizations to uncover critical care delivery insights, focus product strategy through behavior design, and build solutions that patients and providers actually use.

Stop Guessing: A Product Person's Guide to AI Adoption
## 🤝 Host Information
A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus
💡 About the Workshop
AI adoption is stalling across organizations — not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge.
This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow.
Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required.
🛠️ What to Bring
Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go.
AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!)
🍕 Logistics & Perks
Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided!
Parking: Plenty of free spaces available on-site.
