El PODER del AHORA ✨ Cómo Lograr la Auténtica FELICIDAD

**El poder del ahora ✨ cómo lograr la auténtica felicidad**
El ritmo de vida actual nos mantiene constantemente enfocados en el pasado o preocupados por el futuro, generando estrés, ansiedad y desconexión. En esta conferencia exploraremos una idea sencilla pero profundamente transformadora: el poder del momento presente.
Inspirada en las enseñanzas de Eckhart Tolle y su obra El poder del ahora, la charla abordará cómo la mente tiende a identificarse con pensamientos y emociones que nos alejan de la experiencia real de la vida.
Se tratarán conceptos como la observación de la mente, la identificación con el ego, la gestión del sufrimiento psicológico y la importancia de desarrollar presencia consciente. A través de ejemplos prácticos, se mostrará cómo llevar estas ideas al día a día para mejorar la claridad mental, la calma interior y la toma de decisiones.
Partiremos de una premisa clave: si estás plenamente en el ahora, puedes experimentar la felicidad. La felicidad no es algo externo que haya que alcanzar, sino un estado natural que emerge cuando dejamos de vivir atrapados en la mente.
Se trabajarán ideas como actuar con conciencia, aceptar lo que es y soltar la resistencia. Salir del ruido mental para volver a un estado de paz más profundo y estable.
La conferencia propone una reflexión directa y aplicable: cómo dejar de vivir en piloto automático y empezar a experimentar la vida con mayor atención, equilibrio y consciencia.
Un encuentro pensado para quienes buscan reducir el ruido mental, comprenderse mejor y conectar con una forma más plena de vivir.

Clay, Cookies & Create - taller de ceramica/ceramics/pottery
Are you looking to try out ceramics or up-skill your existing knowledge? Look no further! This workshop is standalone or you can book a block of 4 that need not be consecutive. It takes place in a very spacious and bright studio and you are welcomed to come with your own ideas or simply follow along and let your creativity blossom during the mindful 3 hours of making. The main technique used during the session is hand-building giving you the option to create functional ware or small sculptural work. Beginners will be guided through the process using techniques such as slab building, coiling, pinching, texturing and surface decoration. The more advanced will be free to create and those with experience throwing would be welcomed to use the wheel which would need to be reserved in advance.
Those of you who would like to learn about glazing would need to book 2 workshops.

They last 3 hours, materials and aprons are provided and your pieces will be fired and ready for pick up around 10 days after.

Entrenament de SOFTCOMBAT i JUGGER, de 11-14.30h a PARC CIUTADELLA
**[QUÉ ES EL SOFTCOMBAT?](https://youtu.be/Essu82NpRvc)**
**[Qué es el Jugger? | El Jugger, qué es y cómo jugarlo](https://youtu.be/dfyrlQn14oM)**
**[Qué es el LARP?](https://youtu.be/fB3FkxDZhBA)**
El Softcombat és una activitat esportiva en la qual, mitjançant armes embuatades (conegudes com boffers), es recreen combats medievals, es practiquen jocs d'equip i s'aprenen moviments marcials de combat. El Rol en Viu consisteix a afegir-li una acció més teatral i dramàtica a aquests enfrontaments.
Si t'interessa aprendre a combatre, emular les lluites de les teves pel·lícules favorites, lluitar amb espasa, subjectar un escut, dominar els secrets de l'equilibri de peus o fer fitnes d'un mode diferent; el Softcombat i el Rol en Viu són una activitat que has de provar.
**És durant el matí de 11h a 13.30h quan major quantitat de participants es reuneixen. A la tarda, es queda (a vegades) un petit grup, però no es pot garantir la seva presència fins a les 18h, sobretot a l'hivern. Recomanem anar de demà.**

Hablar es mejor (Clase de conversación y errores en español)
Buenas!
(English below)
Cada día aparecen formas nuevas de aprender español, (y otros idiomas) apps nuevas, métodos de gramática, IA, videos de profes explicando cosas, y están todas genial.
Si te ayudan a entender más y a hablar mejor están genial.
El plan de este grupo es mejorar tu español con juegos, actividades reales y ejercicios para hablar más.
Con la excusa de los juegos y las actividades corregimos la mayoría de errores:
Palabras difíciles, confundir pasados, preposiciones, verbos que significan muchas cosas, ser y estar en pasado, frases con dos verbos o mas, subjuntivo, expresiones coloquiales,
y también los errores "culturales”: ¿De que forma usamos los españoles el idioma en diferentes situaciones?
La gente que participa es (casi siempre) muy simpática, y normalmente deja reviews muy positivas de las clases.
Si te cuadra el plan ven a practicar tu español y hablamos de comida, de viajes, de trabajo, de cultura, de Internet, de temas locales, de noticias y de muchas más cosas.
Para participar hay una contribución de solo 10€ por persona/ clase de 2 horas (materiales incluidos, bebidas no incluidas) o de 30€ por 4 clases.
Vente y hablamos.
Rafa.

Hi!
Every day there are new ways to learn Spanish, (or any language) new apps, grammar methods, AI, teachers explaining things on videos, and they are all great.
If they help you to understand more and to speak better, they are great.
The main plan in this group is to improve your Spanish with games, real activities and exercises to speak more.
All the games and activities are a good excuse to correct the most difficult/ frequent mistakes:
Difficult words, confusing past tenses, prepositions, verbs that mean many things, ser and estar in the past, sentences with two or more verbs, subjuntive, colloquial expressions,
and also “cultural" mistakes: How we, Spanish people, use the language in different situations?
People participating are (almost always) very nice, and usually leave very positive reviews of the classes.
If the plan fits you, come to practice your Spanish and we'll talk about food, travel, work, culture, Internet, local issues, business, news and many more things.
There is a contribution to participate of only €10 per person/2-hour class (materials included, drinks not included) or €30 for 4 classes.
Let´s talk.
Rafa.
Free Salsa Class for Beginners by Milliardo | Meet People & Dance
[Join our new Whatsapp Group for the latest updates!](https://chat.whatsapp.com/LMmycRHCDqT3i1fsS2k3ce)

* The class is **completely free**

Whether you’ve just moved to the city, are looking to make new friends, or simply want to start dancing, this class is designed to be easy, social, and pressure-free.
*No previous dance experience needed.*
***It is mandatory to fill out your information about roles (leader/follower), so that we know the numbers of participants for each role.***

***FAQ***
***Important note about class balance***
This salsa class is free, which means we cannot control or guarantee the balance between leaders and followers in advance. We also cannot predict exactly who will show up on the day.
For that reason, **admission to the class will be** **based on arrival time**.
*Once the class reaches maximum capacity, with a balanced number of participants, we may not be able to let more people join.*
We understand this can sometimes be frustrating, but this is the fairest way for us to keep the class balanced, organized, and enjoyable for everyone.
Please arrive on time to secure your spot.
**I am in the waiting list. Should I still come to the class?**
We try to keep the classes as balanced as possible, so if we notice we are getting too many leaders/followers we move people around to waitlist.
Sadly not everyone who signed up attends the class, so you can always still show up and see if there is a shortage of leaders/followers.
**Want to increase your odds to get a spot for the class?**
Then we highly suggest to come with a partner (leader+follower), as we always give them priority.
**Why am I in the waiting list I was earlier/first?**
There is two reasons, either you have attended the class before or, more likely, you didn't show up to a class you signed up for before.
Our classes are free, we do this as volunteers and because we love to introduce people to dancing.
***When you take a spot and don't cancel your attendance in a timely manner or at all it means you took a spot that someone else would have gladly taken, so we kindly ask you to change your RSVP accordingly.***

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.

Drunken Philosophy: Where Is Everybody? The Fermi Paradox and the Great Filter
Welcome to Drunken Philosophy, a casual, curious, social discussion club. Come grab a drink and a seat at The Oracle.
**Optional topic for this meetup: Where is everybody?**
In 1950 the physicist Enrico Fermi was talking about aliens over lunch and asked a question that still has not gone away: if the universe is so vast and so old, and even a fraction of those billions of stars have planets, where is everyone? By the numbers the galaxy should be crowded with civilizations. Instead we look up and hear silence. That gap between "they should be everywhere" and "we see no one" is the Fermi Paradox.
One of the most unsettling answers is the idea of a **Great Filter**: somewhere on the road from dead chemistry to a galaxy-spanning civilization, there is at least one step that is almost impossible to get past. Maybe the filter is behind us. Maybe life starting at all, or simple cells becoming complex, or intelligence ever evolving, is the freak accident, and we already cleared the hard part. Or maybe the filter is ahead of us, and advanced civilizations reliably wipe themselves out before they spread.
Here is the part that messes with people. If we ever found life somewhere else, even pond scum on Mars, most people would call it the greatest discovery in history. But it might be the worst possible news. It would mean life is common, the early steps are easy, and the hard step is still in front of us. So the eerie silence overhead might actually be the best sign we could ask for.
**Questions to wrestle with:**
* Is it better to be alone? Would you rather we find alien life and learn we are not special, or find nothing and quietly improve our odds of surviving?
* Where do you bet the filter sits, behind us or ahead of us, and why?
* If it is ahead of us, what is it? Nuclear war, climate collapse, AI, something we cannot even picture yet? And can we do anything about a filter we cannot see coming?
* Two principles pull opposite ways here. The principle of mediocrity (the Copernican principle, Sagan's "no privileged place in the universe") says we are ordinary, so what happened on Earth probably happened everywhere, which makes the silence scream louder. The anthropic principle says of course we find ourselves somewhere life was possible, since we could not observe anything else, so our being here may say almost nothing about how common life is. Which lens do you trust, and does the silence still demand an answer once you account for observer selection?
* And if we did confirm life out there and had to accept we are not special, what would that do to belief in a higher power, and would shedding (or keeping) that belief help or hurt our odds of pulling together as one species?
* Does any of this change how you live, or how humanity should be spending its time and money right now?
As always the prompt is optional. Come for the conversation, stay for the drinks, and bring your own questions.

But the next step is AI agents: systems that can take a goal, break it into steps, use tools, remember context, and produce useful work for a human to review.
In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll demystify what AI agents actually are — without hype or jargon. We’ll walk through practical examples of how agents can help with research, planning, writing, coding, operations, and personal productivity.
We’ll cover:
* What makes an AI “agent” instead of just a chatbot
* How agents break tasks into steps
* Where agents are genuinely useful today
* Where they fail, hallucinate, or need human review
* How to design simple AI workflows for your own work
* A live demo of an AI agent-style workflow from start to finish
No coding experience required. This is for anyone who wants to understand where AI tools are going and how to use them more effectively right now.
LOGISTICS AND PARKING:
The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks!
The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.
