What Carries You When Control Falls Away?
Many of us rely on control so constantly that we only notice it when it fails — when effort tightens, decisions multiply, and nothing quite settles.
This session turns toward that familiar strain with curiosity and care, opening the possibility that something supportive may already be present when holding on no longer works.
Join a weekly Zen meditation class where you can slow down, reconnect with your inner peace and train your mind to be present. You will receive practical teachings, personal guidance and the opportunity to meditate in a group.
Each session explores a new topic offering a space to reflect, deepen self-understanding and cultivate mindfulness, clarity and balance—both in meditation and in daily life.
Beginners will receive an introduction to meditation, while experienced practitioners can refine their practice and explore new insights.
• 50' tea and teachings
• 2 x 25' meditation & 10' walking meditation
• Private guidance (during the meditation time, optional)
• Tea and socialising (optional)
:
✅ Single Session: €17 (Newcomers: €7)
✅ 4 Sessions: €60 (€15/session)
✅ 8 Sessions: €100 (€12.5/session)
Guidance & Practice Package: €110 - includes 4 meditation sessions and a private counselling session with Julia
Students, pensioners, and unemployed: €7/ session.
: https://forms.gle/hfo8fRpyfaonyCMQ8
: We deeply understand the value of practising in a group and under the guidance of teachers and wish for everyone to have this opportunity. If financial constraints are a concern, please reach out at 045 168 7796 so we can support you.

Spec-Driven Development with GitHub Spec-Kit - Barret Blake
**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**
*Spec-Driven Development with GitHub Spec-Kit: From Intent to Implementation*
Spec-driven development flips the traditional workflow on its head: instead of code being the source of truth, the specification becomes the backbone of design, collaboration, and delivery. In this session, we’ll explore how GitHub Spec-Kit enables teams to treat specifications as first-class artifacts—living documents that drive architecture, implementation, and verification.
You’ll learn how Spec-Kit helps teams clearly express intent using structured, version-controlled specs that live alongside code. We’ll walk through a practical workflow that starts with defining system behavior and constraints, then progressively refines those specs into testable, automatable outcomes. Along the way, we’ll show how specs can reduce ambiguity, improve cross-functional collaboration, and make design decisions explicit before a single line of production code is written.
This talk will cover:
--What spec-driven development is (and what it isn’t)
--How GitHub Spec-Kit fits into modern developer workflows
--Using specs to align product, engineering, and AI-assisted development
--Real-world examples of turning specs into implementations with confidence
Whether you’re building greenfield systems, integrating AI into your stack, or trying to reduce costly rework, spec-driven development offers a scalable way to move faster without sacrificing clarity. Attendees will leave with concrete patterns and a clear mental model for adopting GitHub Spec-Kit in their own projects.
