Stuck in your thoughts or emotions? Let’s talk 1:1
Do you sometimes feel confused, overwhelmed, or unsure about your direction?
You may have complex thoughts or emotions, but not necessarily feel the need for therapy.
At the same time, small talk may feel too superficial, and sharing everything with friends is not always easy.
Sometimes, you simply want a thoughtful conversation
with someone who listens carefully. :)
In this 1:1 meeting, we take one hour to reflect on what is currently on your mind:
relationships, life decisions, career questions, emotional situations or simply whatever feels important to you.
The aim is to help you gain more clarity, discover new perspectives, or simply feel less alone.
All conversations are confidential.
Pilot phase contribution:
60 min → 25€ (incl. one drink)
+20€ per additional 30 min
Languages: English, Deutsch or 普通话
Time: slots available in April & May (after work or weekends)
Location: café or comfortable place of your choice
We decide together via private message.
If this resonates with you, feel free to message me. :)
Back to basics: Presence, Breath and Walking Meditation
In a world that constantly pulls our attention outward, this gathering is an invitation to come back to yourself.
No complicated techniques. No pressure to perform. No expectation to share.
Just simple practices that help us reconnect with what is already here: our breath, our body, our awareness, and the present moment.
Together, we will spend about an hour exploring a few basic mindfulness and nervous system regulation practices, including:
• Gentle grounding and awareness exercises
• Conscious breathing and slower exhalation
• Walking meditation in the park
• Simple body awareness and presence practices
• Space to slow down and reconnect with yourself
Depending on the weather, the session may include a combination of sitting meditation and walking meditation, or mostly walking meditation.
The intention is not to achieve anything. It is simply an opportunity to pause, breathe, and experience being fully present in your own body.
Schedule
9:45 – Meet at Glacis Square (between the Théâtre tram stop and the public toilets)
10:00 – Mindfulness practice in the park
Approximately 11:00 – Optional coffee, brunch, or relaxed conversation for anyone who would like to stay
The practice itself will last around one hour. The social time afterwards is completely optional.
Practical Information
• Please wear comfortable clothes suitable for the weather
• The event will take place even if the weather is not perfect
• I will bring something to sit on, but feel free to bring your own cushion, mat, or blanket if you prefer
This gathering is part of Feel & Grow Club Luxembourg and is open to anyone curious about slowing down, grounding themselves, and practicing presence in a simple and accessible way.
Nothing special to achieve. Nothing to fix.
Just a chance to be here, together.

You will be automatically added to the waiting list and upon confirmation I will add you to the participation list. The exact location will be shared once your participation is confirmed a bit closer to the event date.
Looking forward to a thoughtful discussion!

Calisthenics Outdoor Workout
Outdoor calisthenics workouts are a fantastic way to build strength, improve fitness, and enjoy the great outdoors 😁🦾
Calisthenics is a form of strength training that uses the resistance of your body and gravity to help strengthen your muscles and improve your coordination, endurance, and mobility. It’s a workout that relies on body weight with little or no equipment. In fact, almost all common bodyweight exercises are considered calisthenics exercises. Some examples include:
- airsquats - pushups - pullups - frogstand -handstand -musclup -backlever aso 😁
Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced athlete, calisthenics provides a holistic approach to fitness. 🏋️♂️💪

Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code - Alan Barber
**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
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
*Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code*
Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs.
In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling.
The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options.

Battle of the personal agents
Join the Columbus AI community for a special event.
**Battle of the Personal Agents** is your chance to see what people are actually building with AI agents and personal automation systems. Whether you’re running OpenClaw, Hermes, or a completely custom solution, bring your agent and show the community how it works.
We’re interested in real-world implementations: the problems your agent solves, how you use it day-to-day, how it’s hosted and managed, how you built it, and why you’ve chosen to keep using it. Live demonstrations are encouraged, so be prepared to show your code, architecture, workflows, and your agent performing real tasks.
This is less about polished presentations and more about sharing practical experience, comparing approaches, and learning from one another. If you’d like to present, please contact Chris Slee (via meetup) before the event so we can allocate enough time for everyone’s demonstrations.
Come ready to show what you’ve built, discover what others are doing, and maybe find a few ideas worth taking home.
Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.
