Green Energy

Hosted by [Green Drinks Toronto](http://www.greendrinks.org/ON/Toronto): *We will have a lively mixture of people from NGOs, academia, students, government and business. Come along and you'll be made welcome. Just say, "are you green?" and we will look after you and introduce you to whoever is there. It's a great way of catching up with people you know and also for making new contacts. Everyone invites someone else along, so there’s always... a different crowd, making Green Drinks an organic, self-organising network.* *These events are very simple and unstructured, but many people have found employment, made friends, developed new ideas, done deals and had moments of serendipity.* *GLOBAL: Now active in over 350 cities worldwide!*

The TAICO team is happy to announce our next meetup at the Adaptavist office in Toronto. Much thanks to [Adaptavist](https://www.adaptavist.com/) for hosting! **Wayfinding** * *Please be careful when using maps features on phones, some people have been redirected to a completely wrong address. The event is near Winners on Front St, which is just south, across the street, from Berczy Park (where the dog fountain is) so if you are not near that area, you are in the wrong place.* **Registration and Event Details** Our goal is to bring artificial intelligence and cybersecurity together. To do that, we need to explore what's happening in AI and what's happening in cybersecurity, and where the two intersect and collide. We're also working to understand how we solve problems in these areas, what that looks like, and how Canada can and will participate. With that in mind, we're pleased to announce our speaker and the agenda for our next meeting! **Sponsors** And thanks to our host, [Adaptavist](https://www.adaptavist.com/)! **Notes** * *Unfortunately, we won't have pizza at this meetup due to a gap in sponsorship. We're actively working on securing sponsors for future events.* **Agenda** **Doors Open: 5:30PM** **Event Start: 6:00PM** * 👋 **Welcome and introductions** * 🙏 **Thank you to our amazing hosts and sponsors!** 🎉 * 🎙️ **Speakers** 🎤 **Speaker #1: Curtis Collicutt** *Title: Stegalographer* *Abstract:* ***They said never write your own encryption. They didn’t say anything about steganography!*** *What if the best place to hide a secret message was in something so boring that nobody would ever look twice at it? Stegalographer is a tool that embeds data in legitimate-looking application logs by encoding information in the choices that generate the logs, rather than encrypting them. The template used, the number of trailing spaces, whether the log says 'error' or 'failure', and even the microsecond variations in timestamps can all carry hidden bits. The output isn't logs with secrets stuffed inside, but real log structure with your data silently riding along.* *This talk will explain how Stegalographer works, from analysing existing logs to extract templates (using the Drain algorithm from log analytics research), to the encoding process that turns your message into a stream of plausible entries. We will explore practical use cases such as covert channels in penetration testing, watermarking logs to trace leaks and censorship-resistant publishing disguised as 'sample data'. However, we will also be honest about the limitations: this is steganography, not encryption, and statistical analysis can potentially detect anomalies at scale. Whether you're interested in security research or information theory or privacy, or want to know more about building security tools, come and see how the most mundane part of any system can become a covert communication channel.* *We'll also touch on the experience of building security tools like this one using AI-assisted programming tools like Claude Code.* 🎤 **Speaker #2: Ads Dawson** Title: *Q&A with Ads Dawson* *Ads Dawson is an Offensive security engineer, penetration tester and red teamer with over thirteen years of experience breaking, testing, and securing applications and infrastructure across startups and large enterprises. Skilled in web application security, DevSecOps, and large-scale hybrid cloud environments, with a strong focus on offensive engineering, red team operations, and vulnerability research. Active bug bounty hunter and researcher in AI and LLM security, specializing in uncovering and mitigating attack vectors such as prompt injection, unrestricted model inference, and backdoor attacks. Experienced in leading incident response and simulating advanced adversaries to expose weaknesses before real attackers do.* *He works with organizations like OWASP and was Technical Lead for [OWASP’s Top 10 for LLM Applications](https://owasp.org/www-project-top-10-for-large-language-model-applications/assets/PDF/OWASP-Top-10-for-LLMs-v2025.pdf).* *This is your chance to ask Ads anything you want about AI and cybersecurity so come armed with your questions!* **⚡ Lightning Talks and Demos** Lightning Talks - 5 to 10 minutes long 1. Elshad Humbatli - Repo Health software project 2. **You?** \- Please reach out if you'd like to do a lightning talk or demo Please reach out to us if you'd like to present at the meetup. We are looking for people to talk about what they are working on, what they are building and learning, and are open to any level of experience and technical depth.

Just wanted to say thank you for the teachings yesterday. It’s beautiful how the universe works and provides just what you need. I was really struggling the few days before class. It felt as if I was in an internal tornado but paralyzed at the same time. I went through my tool box/Rolodex of practices but was still struggling to find that space, that space between thoughts. But through the offerings of your teachings and the space created by the community, I was able to add more tools to the tool box and felt guided and supported while doing so. So a heartfelt thank you to you and the community. The knowing that pain/challenges are our greatest professor if we allow it, becomes much more accessible when the light and love from others is shared in support of the journey. With love and gratitude" Tina G \* "I love love love the Qi blankets (practice)! This morning’s class was so beautiful and deep. Thanks Sunim and everyone in our beautiful sangha!" \- Coleen M

**Click here to register:** **[https://energeticmagic.thrivecart.com/foundation-courses/](https://energeticmagic.thrivecart.com/foundation-courses/)** Yes, there is real magic out there and you are immersed in it. Some call it universal or source energy. Some call it God or divine energy. Some call it magic. It’s been talked about and worked with for thousands of years and now science has gotten to the point, through quantum physics, where tests are confirming what many have been saying: We are all connected by this energy and we all affect it. Tapping into that energy allows me to perform what I call Energetic Magic, and now I have made this method of actually editing your reality available to you. You will learn: – How spiritual energy works and affects us every day – The “must do”s for growth and potency – To use intuition for guidance and to detect truths – To get in touch with Pure Source/Universal/Quantum/God energy (however your philosophy describes it) – To create and manipulate simple energetic constructs – To react and respond to other people’s energy – To play harmoniously with another’s energy – To perceive energy in other people for information or clearing – To integrate the techniques you learn with other modalities and your daily life Are you ready? It’s intense. And it will change your life. Every person who has attended this class has had big realizations and multiple shifts in their beliefs during the class. While learning, you release old belief patterns and come out of the class a different person. I look forward to sharing this powerful technique with you and watching your transformation. Got a friend? You can refer a friend and get a 20% referral fee. Contact transform@energeticmagic.com to find out how.

Power grids run on protocols that were never designed to be secure. Modbus doesn't authenticate. MQTT trusts whoever connects. State estimation believes whatever data you feed it. This month, Parham Mohammadi shows what happens when you exploit all of that. **THE TALK** Parham built a full ICS attack simulation lab and ran real attack chains against it. False data injection into state estimation. Modbus register overwrites. MQTT broker takeover. Chained attacks against distributed energy resources. The operator dashboard stayed green the entire time. If Ukraine 2015 and Industroyer taught us anything, it's that this isn't theoretical. **THE SPEAKER** Parham Mohammadi — Postdoctoral Researcher, York University Parham spent six years at York doing his PhD on power systems simulation. The CPPS-SEC Lab he built for this research simulates real ICS attack chains against power grid infrastructure — the same lab he's demoing at this talk. ***ARRIVAL WINDOW — PLEASE READ*** Doors open at 6:15 PM and close at 6:40 PM. Our volunteer at the gate can only let people up during this window. After 6:40 PM, there will be no one downstairs to let you in. Plan accordingly. If you RSVP and can't make it, please update your status so someone on the waitlist can take your spot.

Gentle Dance Movement Classes (In-person & on Zoom) \- Free on Fridays @12pm While technically this is just a dance/movement class (see below for description) As the creator of "The Connect Method", and an expert in connecting mind & body, I love dancing/moving and connecting to my energy. I love using my energy while moving/dancing to connect & work on intention, my problems, what I desire, or letting my unconscious work on what I want while my conscious mind & body dance. I find using mind, body & energy together adds power to intention & creating change. I invite you to just dance/move or do more, whatever works best for you. =================================== In-Person Class (Bilingual) @Metropolitan Hospital Registration - [Click here](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScdJ7nJeEqWzKs2S7i37wdTWpflqeD7t_hDjvW7g6eWvdCVNw/viewform) ====================================== On-line - RSVP Required Here - Gentle Movement Dance Exercise - ONLINE CLASS [https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYkf-mqqD8oEtxifPQabKbcMgieGBZZeiJV](https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYkf-mqqD8oEtxifPQabKbcMgieGBZZeiJV) =============================================== Moving for Live classes - In-person on Friday, start with a gentle warm-up.

**Join us to learn about our recent publication and training in:** **What are Community Food Forests?** Producing more of our food with tree-based agriculture will nourish and heal more people and more land in a shorter amount of time and with longer-term benefits than we have been able to achieve with conventional agriculture over the past 150+ years. **Community Food Forests** combine and reinvent ancient practices of Agroforestry and Agroecology to produce food in ways that regenerate human and ecological health. It is estimated that at one time Earth supported as many as 6 trillion trees, and that number has been reduced by roughly half since “modern” human civilization emerged over 10,000 years ago and converted land for agriculture and urbanization. At an estimated net loss averaging 10 billion trees per year due to ongoing deforestation, we are on track to further reduce that number by half, leaving just 1.5 trillion trees, or one quarter of the natural living forests that evolved as the lungs of this living Earth.

Working with the **KEITH'S CACAO**, and bringing so much LOVE and ENERGY from the magical land of SAN MARCOS, GUATEMALA, where the Cacao grows near Lake ATITLAN, I am so excited for this ceremony!!! :-) This Cacao Ceremony will be IN-PERSON (Great Neck, NY). We will share Intentions, Oracle card readings, do a full Reiki Clearing & Sound Bath, & Guided Meditation tuning in to your individual intentions, and Integration. **Please note, Keith's Cacao has less caffeine than a decaf cup of coffee, so there is no problem drinking it at any time of day or night.** The CACAO CEREMONY payment ($75 for in-person) is requested, in advance, via Venmo (Yael-Emily-Sharbani) or Zelle (707-332-6254). Once we have your RSVP, we will email you the information for attending in-person. **PLEASE NOTE:** You DO NOT NEED TO HAVE OR DRINK CACAO to participate in the ceremony. Here is a video on WHAT IS A CACAO CEREMONY and What to Expect? [https://youtu.be/th4I-B9PqL8](https://youtu.be/th4I-B9PqL8) Here is a video on OUR RECIPE FOR CACAO (video on Youtube: [https://youtu.be/_-Itsk9mA1c](https://youtu.be/_-Itsk9mA1c)) You can purchase Keith's Ceremonial Grade Cacao from us, to play with it before the ceremony. IT IS NOT NECESSARY, but definitely something super healthy to have around in these times! :-) You can purchase through the website (\*\*[www.cacaoceremonyny.com**](http://www.cacaoceremonyny.com**)) **for a 5% discount**, OR you can pick up a bar from my house in Great Neck. Just email me at [yael@lawofallowing.com](mailto:yael@lawofallowing.com) or call 707-332-6254. **Keith's Ceremonial Grade Cacao, IS A SUPERFOOD** that helps you go deeper and get more clarity out of meditations and energy work (read about all the health benefits here: ([http://www.cacaoceremonyny.com/about-cacao.html](http://www.cacaoceremonyny.com/about-cacao.html)). It helps quiet the mind chatter. More information is understood and retained on multiple levels! Connections and deeper meanings emerge. **KEITH'S CEREMONIAL GRADE CACAO IS CHOCOLATE in its purest form!!!** :-) You are fully present, functional and cognizant after drinking cacao. It simply helps you lift the veil of the ego mind to go deeper on all levels. I proudly offer Keith's Cacao in ceremony and for purchase (online and in person - [www.cacaoceremonyny.com](http://www.cacaoceremonyny.com)) as it is known to be the most pure and high vibrational. It has been tested against all other major brands to have a much higher theo-bromine content in addition to other components that give cacao it's superfood and 'magical' properties. **Keith's cacao also has less caffeine than a decaf cup of coffee, whereas most other brands have a very high caffeine content. :-)** You can read more on OVERVIEW, TYPES OF CEREMONIES, WHAT TO EXPECT, HOW TO PREPARE FOR CEREMONY and WHAT TO BRING on our website ([http://www.cacaoceremonyny.com/](http://www.cacaoceremonyny.com/)). You can also read WHAT IS CACAO?, CEREMONIAL CACAO vs OTHER CACAOs, HEALTH BENEFITS & OTHER FAQs about Cacao. I am keeping the participant list to a maximum of 10 people, and I generally have slots filled offline, so please let me know if you want to attend as soon as possible. When you sign up, if you are new, I will touch base with you to answer any questions you may have. I am very excited to offer all our friends, family and clients this uplifting and enlightening experience and so happy to be a part of the Keith's Cacao family of Cacao Practitioners. **Wishing you all a beautiful day! Tons of Love and Joy and Abundance!!!** **Yael** P.S. Meetup's messaging system is not perfected yet, so if you message me and do not hear back quickly, please feel free to email me directly at [yael@lawofallowing.com](mailto:yael@lawofallowing.com) or call 707-332-6254.
