💫 **Biodanza: Conexión auténtica a través del movimiento** 💫🫂
Have you ever experienced this? You meet someone on the dance floor, share a rhythm, a glance, a smile. You don’t even know their name, yet you feel a sense of connection and human unity. That’s Biodanza.
🔹 **What to expect?**
✔️ Connecting with others in an authentic way — this time through the body
✔️ No steps, no choreography. Two left feet are welcome!
✔️ Inspiring movement invitations that awaken your inner child and reveal hidden potentials
If you’re ready to dive into the unknown and meet others in a direct, playful, and unpredictable way, this is your call! Remember: our bodies don’t lie — they simply express what is alive within us.
📍 **Where?** Centro Cultural “Portal Rojo", Quito 4231 (Almagro)
💰 **How much?** 23000$ To ensure your participation, please confirm beforehand by WhatsApp & transfer. The number is: +54911 6996 7828 (Valerie)
🙋🏼♀️ **Who?** Your facilitator is Valerie Kattenfeld. She was trained by the family of the founders of Biodanza and loves guiding group processes that foster human connection in safe, non-judgmental spaces — using dance as her main tool.
👟 **What to bring?** Wear comfortable clothes that allow you to move easily, both standing and on the floor. Bring a bottle of water.
☕ **And afterwards?** Join us for a coffee at Diletto nearby!

💫 **Biodanza: Conexión auténtica a través del movimiento** 💫🫂
¿Alguna vez viviste esta experiencia? Conocés a alguien en la pista de baile, comparten un ritmo, una mirada, una sonrisa. Ni siquiera sabés su nombre y, sin embargo, sentís una complicidad y una profunda conexión humana. Eso es Biodanza.
🔹 **¿Qué podés esperar?**
✔️ Conectar con otras personas de manera auténtica — esta vez a través del cuerpo
✔️ Sin pasos, sin coreografías. ¡Bienvenidas las personas con dos pies izquierdos!
✔️ Propuestas de movimiento inspiradoras que despiertan tu niño interior y evocan potenciales tapadas
Si estás lista/o para sumergirte en lo desconocido y encontrarte con otras personas de una manera directa, lúdica e impredecible, esta es tu invitación. Recordá: el cuerpo no miente, simplemente expresa lo que está vivo en nuestro interior.

🌿Horneamos juntos, merienda y charla autentica✨
Un encuentro para bajar un cambio, desconectar del ritmo de la semana y compartir un momento distinto con otras personas.
En Sabores & Conexión la excusa siempre es la mesa. **Esta vez nos reunimos alrededor de ella para hornear juntos ✨**
Tranqui! **También habrá merienda, espacio para la conversación y propuestas para conectar.**
La idea es regalarnos una pausa.
Un espacio para mimarnos mientras hacemos algo rico con las manos.
**La receta en cuestión es la famosa Carrot Cake 🥕🍰,** uno de los clásicos de la cafetería de especialidad.
Mezclaremos ingredientes, nos divertiremos con complicidad y pondremos literalmente las manos en la masa.
**Cada persona horneará su propio budín para llevar a casa.**
Mientras el horno hace su magia y la casa se llena de ese perfume irresistible de algo recién horneado, compartiremos una merienda en mi hogar con mate 🧉, café ☕ o té, conversación y dinámicas que nos invitan a vincularnos de forma auténtica.
**Como siempre, sucede en mi casa y el grupo es pequeño** para cuidar la intimidad del encuentro.
**👥 Solo 5 lugares**
**📍 Colegiales**
**⌚ Sábado 30, 4 PM**

A gathering to slow down, disconnect from the rhythm of the week and share a different kind of moment with others.
**At Sabores & Conexión, the table is always the excuse.**
**This time, we gather around it to bake together ✨**
Relax! **There will also be a shared snack, space for conversation and gentle prompts to connect.**
The idea is to gift ourselves a pause.
A space to unwind while doing something delicious with our hands.
**The recipe we’ll be making is the famous Carrot Cake 🥕🍰**, one of the classics of specialty coffee shops.
We’ll mix ingredients, enjoy the moment together and literally get our hands in the batter.
**Each person will bake their own cake to take home.**
While the oven does its magic and the house fills with that irresistible freshly-baked aroma, we’ll share a cozy snack in my home with mate 🧉, coffee ☕ or tea, conversation and connection dynamics that invite us to relate in a genuine way.
**As always, this takes place in my home and the group is small t**o preserve the intimacy of the experience.
**👥 Only 5 spots**

Ensuring Software Quality in the world of AI Developers - Matt Eland

The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
Like it or not, AI agents are now capable of turning a quickly written paragraph of requirements into a pull request that is ready to be integrated into real-world production applications and it's now our responsibility to make sure AI doesn't go rogue and take down prod - or corrupt our data by misunderstanding the requirements or our existing schemas. In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod.
