When code becomes commoditized, what actually gets protected? RSVP Link - [https://luma.com/0ktn86g3](https://luma.com/0ktn86g3) This is an in-person panel discussion hosted at a Dipchand Law office, bringing together experts from legal, AI, and strategy domains to explore how intellectual property is evolving in the age of AI-assisted development and “vibe coding.” **Why this matters:** AI tools are rapidly commoditizing software development. The barrier to building products is dropping, shifting the focus from writing code to owning ideas, data, and systems. This creates new challenges around ownership, licensing, and long-term defensibility. **Key discussion areas:** * Whether code still holds value as intellectual property * Ownership of AI-generated code and outputs * What developers and companies should protect beyond code (data, workflows, architecture) * Enterprise risks including compliance, governance, and data exposure * How organizations build defensibility when building becomes easy **Speakers:** **Stephano Salani** Intellectual Property Lawyer, Dipchand LLP **Yulia Pavlova, PhD** Applied AI and Governance Leader, RBC Borealis AI **Mohit Rajhans** AI Consultant, ThinkStart.ca **Event details:** Date: May 20, 2026 Time: 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM EDT Location: Dipchand LLP Office, Toronto, ON **What to expect:** Panel discussion, networking, and Q&A session **RSVP** - [https://luma.com/0ktn86g3](https://luma.com/0ktn86g3)

Exploring Consciousness * *May 23rd - 24th, 2026* * *9:00 am - 6:00 pm* * *In person* * *Halton Hills, ON, Canada* * *Stephen Ng Qui Sang* * *400 CAD (plus HST), approx. $290 USD* The Monroe Institute Exploring Consciousness course provides an opportunity to engage in consciousness exploration, self-discovery, and personal transformation. We introduce you to Focus 10 (a state of body asleep and mind awake) and Focus 12 (a state of expanded awareness). These states enable you to better understand your Total Self and to access your untapped inner resources. Course benefits and experiences (both during the course and afterwards) vary considerably, but participants typically report the following: * Deep physical relaxation * Stress reduction * Deep physical relaxation * Improved sleep * Expanded awareness * Insights regarding issues in life * Access to inner guidance * Enhanced meditations * Enhanced intuition and creativity * Mental calm and clarity * More energy for daily life * Effective problem solving * Physical and emotional healing * Release of fears and limiting beliefs * Enhanced concentration and learning * Greater synchronicity in daily life * Greater knowing of the total self Although not as common, some participants report communication with deceased loved ones, out-of-body experiences (OBEs), and various mystical experiences. You will return home with the experience, knowledge, and skills you need to access and benefit from these expanded states on your own without Hemi-Sync®. Course instructions, course book, sound equipment, mattresses and food are all included. Here is some feedback we received from the last course: * "Stephen is an extremely knowledgeable, experienced, and a wonderful guide. He led the course with utmost compassion and patience. With his vast experience, he shares a lot of anecdotes which become helpful tools in strengthening the understanding of this course. I highly recommend the course and Stephen’s teaching to everyone, irrespective of having a spiritual inclination or not." - SM * "Stephen is conscientious and passionate in ensuring the students gain as much as they can during the program. As the student, I felt his enthusiasm and his deep experience and wisdom of exploring consciousness. And because of that I benefited so much. Thank you, Stephen." - TS * "This course was an excellent resource to help me restart and reboot by consciousness self exploration journey. Stephen was extremely personable and an excellent teacher. The in person group setting generated many great conversations and helpful practice techniques in astral projection, OBEs, and accessing Focus 10 and 12 easily. Honestly, I loves this and I would definitely recommend it to anyone new to this, getting back into it, or those already seasoned. Thank you Stephen, Linda and the lovely group for an amazing setting and experience." - NM * "I thoroughly enjoyed the two days I spent with Stephen, his wife Linda, and fellow classmates for the Exploring Consciousness course, which was an excellent introduction to the topic of states of consciousness and out of body experiences. Stephen explained the concepts well, answered all of our questions, and provided real life examples from his personal experiences and from the experiences of his various mentors and students. I liked the setup for the meditations, which included air mattresses and state of the art headphones. The refreshments and lunches offered were delicious and nutritious, and many dietary options were available, including vegan and gluten free. On our lunch breaks we were able to go for walks on their beautiful and peaceful property and over lunch we shared stories and got to know one another." - CC Register at [Exploring Consciousness - EC course](https://exploringconsciousness.ca/ExploringConsciousness)

You’re not alone—and you don’t have to walk this journey by yourself. Join us for the very first gathering of Safe Space for Single Moms, a supportive and faith-centered community created for single mothers who desire growth, healing, and deeper connection—with God and with one another. We’ll be meeting at Maman in Penn Quarter, DC, a cozy and welcoming café that offers a relaxed “home-away-from-home” atmosphere—perfect for meaningful conversation and connection. This initial meetup is simply about getting to know one another in a safe, judgment-free space. Together, we’ll spend time: • Sharing our testimonies (as you feel comfortable) • Talking about our relationship with God • Reflecting on areas we are currently working on—personally and spiritually • Offering encouragement, listening ears, and support to one another There is no pressure to speak, no expectations to have everything figured out—just an open invitation to come as you are. Whether you’re new in your faith, returning to God, or seeking deeper spiritual growth, you are welcome here. Feel free to grab a coffee, tea, or pastry, settle in, and connect with other women who understand the unique joys and challenges of single motherhood. ✨ This is a safe space. ✨ This is a supportive space. ✨ This is a space for healing, growth, and sisterhood. We look forward to meeting you and beginning this journey together.
