Mob Programming at Mofer Coffee
Let’s do some coding together at a cafe! No more working alone in the weekend. Here, we write code together. And I mean together together. Not occupying-the-same-space-but-separate together.
Here’s how it works: Jennifer brings her mobile app project, tells everyone that it is like Pinterest for recipes and she’d like to work on the nav bar. Paul and Chloe think Jennifer's project is fascinating, and they join the group. They gather around Jennifer’s laptop and work on the nav bar for 2 hours. Jennifer is the one typing out the code while Paul and Chloe research, brainstorm, and offer suggestions.
If you’re feeling stuck on your own project or need a motivation boost, bring it to mob programming!
Want to learn by watching how others code and solve problems? Join someone else’s project at this event!
Oh and we love your half-done projects that you are a bit embarrassed to share. Absolutely bring those to the event!
**Discord**:
We use Discord to share screen & code snippets during the event. Also feel free to share your projects here before the event!
https://discord.gg/D6WCwzXs9A
**Event policy**:
* We have 0 tolerance for harassment.
* We don’t allow the projects that are not meant to be shared in public such as school assignments, interview tasks, or trade secrets.
* The goal is to write code. We discourage you from pitching business ideas here, doing code reviews, or spending the whole event on planning what to do.
* Please buy a drink, and tip the barista well.
Connection Labs Online (aka Crossroads & Connections)
### Each Crossroads & Connections workshop is a fast, friendly mash-up: short demos, paired practices and intentional reflection. We keep it light, embodied, and social—so wisdom lands in your muscles and your circle, not only your mind. There isn’t one technique that fixes everything, for everyone, in every situation.
### What is it?
We pair complementary domains to spark shared flow, fresh insight, and unforgettable “aha!” moments. You leave with lived skills, not just notes.
* **Dialogue** gets you out of solo spin: small-group formats expose blind spots and sharpen “shared reality,” so your next move matches *this* person and *this* moment.
* **Imaginal** practice is guided “as if” rehearsal you look *through*, not *at*: walking the beats before the scene means your body recognizes turns when stakes rise.
* **Mindfulness** steadies the camera: attention stops jerking around, drama gets de-amplified, and you can catch the instant you’re narrating motives and swap in one honest question.
* **Embodiment** makes it actionable through direct, non-verbal experience and how your inner experience matches your outer expression.
Facilitators: Varies
Fee: $30USD

Feminine Embodiment Coaching with Amanda Clarke
https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/3/4/2/8/600_461233352.jpeg
There is a cosmic shift happening on the planet and women are tired of playing second fiddle in this game of life. Playing small not only keeps you from manifesting what you truly want, but it also holds you back from living out your divine purpose. I’ve been there, stuck, held back, and yearning to break free and frankly being in that place plain 'ol sucks!
What if you could step up and make a difference; a meaningful contribution in this world by just being you? How might the landscape of your life look?
Over for the past six years, I’ve worked with women who are looking to break out of the spell of smallness. It pangs me to see women depressed, depleted, disconnected and downright insecure. One of the reasons many of my clients rave about the work we do together is because I provide immediate results. What I teach is inherent within you but there are layers of gunk bogging you down from access this wisdom yourself. Spinning your wheels, and living a life of lack is no way to live, beautiful. You are so much more!
What can you expect from our sessions together:
• A solid understanding of what feminine energy is, and how to use it to have your way with the world
• Develop a physical and energetic presence that attracts what you want: personally and professionally.
• Feel more comfortable with your sensuality, and with receiving positive attention.
• Experience more passion in your life - particularly your love life.
• Be more at ease setting clear boundaries with others.
• Learn to be in flow rather than always pushing and striving to make things happen.
• Look and feel more sexy, confident and radiant
• Gain clarity about your life purpose and the greatest gifts you have to offer the world
• Establish or strengthen your intuitive guidance
Book a FREE 30-minute discovery call to learn how I can help support you on your journey to coming home to yourself as a woman. This means MORE self-love, MORE self-confidence, MORE clarity, MORE empowerment and saying YES to living out your divine mission.
For more information on my coaching packages please visit http://www.lusciousfeminine.com or to book a FREE 30-minute complimentary Discovery Call, email Amanda at lusciousfeminine@gmail.com
“Before working with Amanda, I was the dried-out, work-obsessed intellectual. I lived in my head and felt completely severed from the neck-down. I over-intellectualized emotionally-charged situations to avoid being present…I am [now] able to ease my ‘mind-babble’, step into my power as a woman knowing that I am safe and secure within my own space, and practice expressing my needs and desires from a more authentic place… Amanda helped me to be trust in the power of vulnerability, surrender, and acceptance. It has been a pleasurable journey! ~ Stefanie T.

History of the Encyclopaedia Britannica (LECTURE ON THE GO)
\*\***The Toronto History Walks Explorer Pass is available. Get it now for $125.00 for 1 year of unlimited tours, email**
**torontohistorywalks@gmail.com**
**for more information or for signing up!\*\***
We have an amazing "Lecture on the Go" series for 2026. New topics and fascinating stories abound! Join us and learn about the world and keep active and warm during the winter months!
I started this walking classroom when we were under that horrible cloud called Covid. This series was popular and helped people get out and back into society and life. The series is back for 2026 with 6 new topics for exploration over the winter and spring months.
The "Lecture on the Go" Series is open only to members who have purchased the YEARLY MEMBERSHIP PASS, it's free for those members. If you wish to attend a lecture and you are not a yearly pass member then the price **per** lecture is $20.00.
This second lecture is focussed on the search for world knowledge. In the mid 18th century putting together a compendium of the world's knowledge was a monumental task. But it was done and it still around today. Let's uncover some of the facts about this fascinating topic.
Encyclopaedia Britannica got its start in 1768 in Edinburgh, when a group of very curious, ambitious people decided the world needed one big, reliable place to put all knowledge. This was the Enlightenment era, so everyone was obsessed with reason, learning, and explaining things properly.
The early editions were bold, quirky, and packed with everything from science and philosophy to practical advice.
Britannica grew into the champion of encyclopedias. It crossed over to North America, added volumes, and became the go-to reference set in libraries, schools, and living rooms. Having a full set on your shelf once meant you were serious about education—or at least wanted to look that way. The articles were written by experts, which gave Britannica its reputation for authority, even if some entries now feel dated.
Then came the internet, and everything changed. In 2012, Britannica stopped printing its famous books and went digital, trading leather for google. Same mission as always—sharing trustworthy knowledge—just a lot lighter to carry and easier to dust. And I have three full sets, I should know.
Topics upcoming in the 2026 series of lectures are as follows. We are a little behind but catching up.
\*Dante; The Hidden Meaning Behind The Divine Comedy
\*Hidden Wonders of Canada; Northern Ontario History and Guide
\*Philosophy 1: Great Minds of the Western World: Goethe to Kant!
\*Philosophy 2: Great Minds of the Eastern World: Chuang Tzu to Dalai Lama
Hope to see you on this "Lecture on the Go!" So book your plans now!
This event is for all levels and walkers, there are a few steps here and there to navigate, but mostly on one level. This event in a non walking event.
The lecture begins on the steps of Old City Hall at the northeast corner of Bay Street and Queen Street West and head into the PATH.
This lecture event has a ticket price of $20.00 per person, and is **free with the yearly membership pass**. Hope to see you there!

🥖🏛️ ST. LAWRENCE MARKET WALK & LUNCH 🏛️🥖
🥖🏛️ ST. LAWRENCE MARKET WALK & LUNCH 🏛️🥖
History, Hallways & Some of the Best Food in Canada
If you want to understand Toronto, you don’t start with the skyline.
You start with **St. Lawrence Market**.
Widely considered one of the most beloved markets in Canada, St. Lawrence Market isn’t just a place to grab lunch — it’s woven into the foundation of the city itself. The original market dates back to the early 1800s and was one of the first public gathering spaces in what would become Toronto. Markets were where the city happened — where food was sold, announcements were made, and community life unfolded.
Fun fact? The building complex has worn many hats over the years. The area once housed Toronto’s first City Hall — and yes, even a jail. Imagine that: politicians upstairs, prisoners downstairs, and fresh produce somewhere in between. Only in early Toronto.
Today, it remains one of the most celebrated food markets in the country — a place where old-school butchers, fishmongers, bakers, cheesemakers, and global food vendors operate side by side. It’s lively, layered, and delicious.
And we’re going to experience it together.
👉 **Don’t forget to join our WhatsApp group** – [CLICK HERE!](https://chat.whatsapp.com/H59mSCbsAi018gYANrKAnc?mode=ac_t)
\*\*\*
🚶♂️ The Walk There
We’ll begin at the subway station and walk down Broadview, making our way along Queen East, over to King, and eventually down to Front Street.
It’s a relaxed urban walk — a chance to chat, stretch our legs, and build a little anticipation before the feast.
Please only sign up if you’re comfortable walking in rain or colder weather. This event runs unless conditions are extreme.
\*\*\*
🥟 The Food Plan
Once we arrive, we’ll explore both the café area and the main food market.
Expect options like:
🥪 Peameal bacon sandwiches
🧀 Local Ontario cheeses
🥐 Fresh pastries
🦞 Seafood counters
🌮 International eats
🍁 Maple treats
Don’t forget to bring some cash — a few vendors are still old-school and cash-only.
The plan: grab whatever calls your name and then find a table to sit and eat together. No pressure, no fixed menu — just good food and good company.
\*\*\*

📍 Meetup Location: Right outside the subway station
🫎 I’ll be wearing my Moose Hat

Come for the history.
Stay for the food.
Leave understanding Toronto just a little bit better — and probably carrying a pastry for later.
There’s something magical about eating in a place where the city has been gathering for over 200 years.
Let’s go taste it. 🥖✨
🌳☕ ST. CLAIR WEST VILLAGE WALK, WYCHWOOD PARK & COFFEE ☕🌳
🌳☕ **ST. CLAIR WEST VILLAGE WALK, WYCHWOOD PARK & COFFEE** ☕🌳
Hidden Streets, Storybook Homes & A Cozy Café Finish
Some parts of Toronto feel like you’ve accidentally stepped into another world.
Join us for a relaxed social walk through **St. Clair West**, leading into the quietly tucked-away and exclusive **Wychwood Park** — one of the city’s most unique residential enclaves.
Wychwood Park is private, residential, and unlike anywhere else in Toronto. The homes are all architecturally distinct — no cookie-cutter builds here — and living there involves a waiting list, a board approval process, and community guidelines that preserve its character. It feels almost village-like… peaceful, artistic, and slightly secret.
This is not a formal historical tour.
It’s a social walk with beautiful surroundings and good conversation.
👉 **Don’t forget to join our WhatsApp group** – [CLICK HERE!](https://chat.whatsapp.com/H59mSCbsAi018gYANrKAnc?mode=ac_t)
\*\*\*
🚶♂️ **What We’ll Do**
We’ll begin by walking west along St. Clair, enjoying the neighbourhood energy before heading into Wychwood Park for a gentle wander through its winding streets.
Afterward, we’ll make a short stop at **Artscape Wychwood Barns** to peek into the market space, next we make a quick stop at Mr. Binz where everything starts at $25 and after we will head to **Bakery Garden Cafe** for a warm drink and time to sit, chat, and connect.
Sometimes the best part of the walk is the pause at the end. ☕
We’ll eventually make our way back toward St. Clair Subway Station.
You’re welcome to leave at any time.
\*\*\*
❄️ **Weather & Expectations**
Please do not sign up if you’re not ready to walk in real winter conditions. This event will happen in snow, cold, or typical Toronto winter weather.
The only exception: if temperatures reach -20°C, the event will be canceled.
Bundle up. Dress properly. This is a winter walk.
Also — this is NOT a historical tour. I’ll share context casually, but the focus is social connection and enjoying the neighbourhood.
