Holistica - BodyMind Flow
Holistica BodyMind Flow
The Spring Sessions
The Holistica classes are a blend of mobility, strength, breathwork, and deep relaxation exercises. We use Yoga, Qigong, and somatic practices, as well as playfulness, dance, and creativity. Our goal is to allow ourselves to have some quality “me time” , to build a warm community and to provide tools to support our wellbeing in everyday life.
2\. class of The Spring Sessions: **Growing**
Last time we were awakening our energies after a long winter.
This time we will focus on fortifying, stretching and expanding. For that we will use resources from Yoga and Qigong as well as stretching and lymphatic exercises, to clean our energy pathways from blockages and stagnation, paving the way for healing and growth.
We will have 3 classes in March:
Tuesday 3rd: \*\*Awakening\*\* - Time to awaken our energy and overcome resistance.
Tuesday 17th: \*\*Growing\*\* - Time to stretch, expand and fortify.
Tuesday 31st: \*\*Blossoming\*\* - Time to celebrate, show up for ourselves and shine.
(After each class ends, registration for the next one opens.)
**Exclusively for women. Migrant women very welcome. LGBT+ very welcome.**
Come as you are, bringing openness and curiosity.
Wear comfortable clothes.
Bring your own massage oil or cream for face and feet self massage.

***MIITTI’s Principles for safer space:***
MIITTI wants to nourish a safe and pleasant environment for everyone, where everyone can feel safe as themselves. By joining as a volunteer, employee or participant of the event or activity, you agree to follow the guidelines below
*Non-discrimination*
I do not make assumptions about people based on their external characteristics or names. I treat all participants with respect, and I don’t use language or take actions that discriminate based on race, gender, sexuality, disability, age, religion, or any other characteristic. I respect pronouns and names.
*Boundaries*
I respect others' personal space and boundaries, both physical and mental. I acknowledge that I cannot know someone else's boundaries without asking first. I ask before touching. I listen to others and adapt my behaviour if someone indicates that my behaviour makes them feel uncomfortable.
*Creating Safe Environment*
Everyone is responsible for contributing to a safe and respectful environment. If I witness harassment, I do my part to support those who experience inappropriate or offensive treatment.
*Zero Tolerance for Harassment*
Our space upholds a strict zero-tolerance policy towards any form of harassment. Harassment, whether verbal, physical, or online, will not be tolerated.
If you experience or witness inappropriate behavior or harassment at our events, please report it to the MIITTI or Lapinlahden Lähde staff.
Improv - theatre group
Warm welcome to join our weekly improv club for amateurs!
No previous experience in theatre or improvisation is required – the most important thing is to have fun and try something new.
**IMPORTANT**: Spots are limited, please make sure to reserve yours!
The training sessions teach and apply basic improv techniques, skills and principles.
In addition to short exercises, those who are interested can work towards for a small performance for a small audience in late spring – however, participation is also meaningful without the desire to perform.
*Commitment*:
The first four times you can come and get to know the other participants and the techniques without any commitment.
From week 16 (14th of April) onwards, the group will close in hopes that the participants can work more focused together and develop onto what we have learned.
Participants will also get the opportunity to take turns directing the rest of the group or other smaller responsibilities as they gain confidence.
WHEN & WHERE:
Tuesdays at 18-20, starting 17th of March
Tallipääty, MIITTI office
Lapinlahten Lähde
Lapinlahdenpolku 1
00180 Helsinki
About the facilitator:
Iska Knuuttila has been part of the Jyväskylä-based Impropaatti group in 2020–2024, where he led some of the training and performed in two performance seasons. The repertoire included both short techniques and long plays.

It's a fun, engaging, and hands-on way to learn more about AWS and network with our community.
The game is played on teams of 2-4 people. You can join an existing team or come in as a free agent, and we will make sure to pair you up with a team.

Play Badminton Friday [Competitive Games] @Smash Center
【IMPORTANT SUMMARY】
* The purpose of competitive game session is to enjoy badminton games by focusing on trying your best to win the games.
* You don't need to be a very good player to join this session. Our level range from beginner to intermediate. We will put you to play with people with similar level. But if you are the first time to come and I don't know your level, then I will put you to play with less-experienced players to start.
* Please purchase your slot through this link [https://7538e9.myshopify.com/](https://7538e9.myshopify.com/) Please also read the instruction inside this link, so that you have an idea how it works.
* Please bring feather shuttles to join the games. We only accept specific shuttles. Please read the following. **If you come without bringing feather shuttles with you, I may ask you to go home.**
【SIGN-UP SYSTEM】
* Please sign up and pay through this link. [https://7538e9.myshopify.com/products/competitive-game](https://7538e9.myshopify.com/products/competitive-game)
* We don't use the signup system on Meetup.com anymore. (Neither the waiting list)
* It says this event is full on this meetup page, because I didn't open any slots here for you to sign up. You have to check this [sign-up page](https://7538e9.myshopify.com/products/competitive-game) to see if there is still a slot available there.
* The background of using an external sign-up and payment system is because Meetup.com introduced a service fee to increase 21% of the fee in May 2023, and we want to reduce this cost.
【FEE and REFUND POLICY】
* Fee includes courts and the work I do to continue this group. Please sign up and pay before you come. NO refund if you do not cancel until 48 hours before the event.
* Racket: bring one or rent one at the counter.
* No matter the reason is sickness, accident or anything, the group or I will not afford the cost caused by your absence.
* Of course you CAN'T ask me, "Can I sign up for free for next week because I didn't come to use my slot this week?". Please remember, the court booked for you is there and it costs money. The court doesn't simply become "free of charge", just because you didn't show up.
【COMMUNICATION】
* Communication: our whatsapp group [https://chat.whatsapp.com/JJQbJlisbcj5YDnlcSu347](https://chat.whatsapp.com/JJQbJlisbcj5YDnlcSu347)
* There are too many spams, so I only accept +358 number to join whatsapp group. Numbers from other countries will all be rejected.

Li-Ning Super 1000
Victor Smash It 1

* Smash Center also sells feather shuttles (Ling Mei Gold and Black). You can purchase there at your arrival.
【OTHERS】
* Please always keep 1 meter away from those courts where people are playing. Never step into the corners of other courts! If I see you do this, I probably will yell at you!
* If you have some questions, you can put your questions in the comments on the event page. People will respond.
* If you are new to badminton, please Google basic badminton rules in advance. Serve rules, double rules and point counting rules. You are always welcome to ask anyone in our group. Most of our members are more than happy to help you.
* Badminton activity is organized for non-profit purpose, but I take a small fee for my work.
* Want to restring your racket? I can do restring for you. €24 including the string. Please get contact with Ken.

Tuoreita tositarinoita tekoälyavusteisesta kehittämisestä
Tule Vallilaan kuulemaan kaksi tositarinaa tekoälyavusteisesta softakehityksestä ja vaihtamaan ajatuksia softakehityksen tulevaisuudesta.
I puheenvuoro
**Lenni Ojala,** *Relex Solutions*
**Uudistumista kaaosvoimin – mitä tapahtuu, kun AI-kokeilu päätetään tehdä isosti?**
AI-työkalut kehittyvät kuukausissa. Organisaatiot muuttuvat yleensä hitaammin. Mitä jos ei lähdetä pieniin piloteihin — vaan päätetään tietoisesti avata kokeilu laajasti?
RELEXillä tehtiin valinta: tuotepuolen ihmisille annettiin mahdollisuus kokeilla AI:ta featureiden tekemisessä kunnolla. Ei varovasti sivussa, vaan osana oikeaa tekemistä, end-to-end.
Lenni Ojala kertoo, miten tällainen kokeilu johdetaan määrätietoisesti:
* Miten päätös laajasta kokeilusta tehtiin?
* Miten luotiin rakenteet, jotka mahdollistavat nopean - oppimisen?
* Miten varmistettiin, ettei tiimin aikaansaaminen hajoa?
* Missä kohtaa kokeilu muuttuu toimintatavaksi?
Taustalla kulkee myös näkökulma luovuuteen ja ongelmanratkaisuun: Lenni on opiskellut systeemistä luovuutta ja tuo mukaan ajatuksen siitä, että luovuus ei ole sattumaa — se on rakennettavissa oleva kyvykkyys. AI voi toimia katalyyttina, mutta vain jos ympäristö tukee oppimista ja psykologista turvallisuutta.
II puheenvuoro
**Janne Oksanen**, *Museokortti &* **Tommi Sinivuo**\*, Wonna\*
**Case Museokortti: Uusi ominaisuus Salesforce-ratkaisuun viidessä päivässä?**
Voiko täysin uuden ominaisuuden rakentaa viidessä päivässä tekoälyavusteisesti ympäristössä ja koodipohjassa, joita devaajat eivät entuudestaan tunne?
Museokortin järjestelmäpäällikkö Janne Oksanen päätti lähteä testaamaan tätä yhdessä Wonnan kanssa: mitä tapahtuu, kun vahva tuoteomistajuus ja syvä domain-osaaminen yhdistetään tekoälyavusteiseen kehitykseen.
Kyse ei siis ollut pienestä kokeilusta, vaan oikeasta ominaisuudesta useamman käyttöliittymän palveluun. Salesforce on keskeinen osa Museokortin järjestelmäkokonaisuutta. Museokortin kehitystiimillä on vahva domain-osaaminen sekä syvä ymmärrys omasta ympäristöstään. Wonnan kehittäjillä taas ei ollut aiempaa kokemusta Salesforcesta. Uskottiin silti, että on mahdollisuus onnistua - ainakin oppimaan.
Nopeuttaako tekoäly riittävästi teknologia-alustan haltuunottoa?
Kuinka pitkälle vahva domain-ymmärrys kantaa?
Case-esittelyssä avataan:
* Mitä tekoälyltä odotettiin etukäteen
* Mitä oikeasti tehtiin
* Mitä opittiin
* Mitkä odotukset toteutuivat ja mitkä eivät
* Mitä kysymysmerkkejä jäi
* Mitä seuraavaksi
**Kenelle ja miksi?**
Meetup tarjoaa ajatuksenruokaa devaajille ja heitä johtaville ihmisille siitä, mikä jo nyt on mahdollista, ja kuinka näihin mahdollisuuksiin kannattaisi softakehitystiimien tarttua.
Tarjolla on pitsaa ja virvokkeita.
Tämä sessio vedetään suomeksi.
Meetupia ei nauhoiteta.
*Wonna-meetupien tavoite on tuoda ohjelmistoalan ihmiset yhteen oppimaan ja inspiroimaan toisiaan, jotta softatiimit pystyisivät tehokkaammin vastaamaan asiakkaiden ja markkinoiden muuttuviin tarpeisiin – tinkimättä ammattiylpeydestä, työnilosta ja hyvästä elämästä.*
Sketchy Collective: Helsinki Drawing Meetup
**Welcome to Sketchy Collective!**
A relaxed and social drawing group for anyone who enjoys sketching — or just wants to give it a try.
\*\*\*
We meet **every Sunday at 15:00** in **Oodi Library**.
\*\*\*
**HOW TO FIND US**
We meet on the **top floor of Oodi Library**, on the stairs **opposite** the children’s area.
It's a good idea to **keep your sketchbook visible** so others can easily recognize that you're there for the sketching meetup. And if you’re a regular participant, making it clear that you're part of the sketching group can be very helpful for newcomers!
\*\*\*
**HOW IT WORKS**
At each meetup, attendees take turns being the model for a quick **10-minute sketch session**. One person poses, everyone else sketches, then we rotate.
\*\*\*
**WHAT TO BRING**
Pencils and paper (or any sketching tools you like).
No fees, no pressure. The only thing we ask is that everyone takes a turn posing for the group. You can sit however you feel comfortable — the 10 minutes go by quickly! Draw as much as you like, skip a round if you’re tired or just want to chat, and leave whenever it suits you. The event continues as long as there’s interest.
\*\*\*
**STAYING CONNECTED**
Due to issues with spam and advertising, the group has decided that **only people who have attended at least one meetup will be accepted into the WhatsApp group**. To be added, please ask other participants at the meetup — a few members have permission to approve new people, and at least one of them will likely be present.
\*\*\*
**SOCIAL MEDIA**
If you’d like to share your drawings from the meetup, you can send them via message on Facebook or Instagram, or use the Instagram collab function. We warmly encourage everyone to share their work and take part in building our international sketching gallery — together with artists from all the cities where Sketchy Collective meetups are organized.

From Web Forms to Web Components - Burton Smith
**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
**Abstract**
Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively.
This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way.
