Traditionally, winter is a time for rest and retreat, a period of germination and preparation for springtime renewal. However, after the hustle and bustle of Christmas and New Year celebrations, many of us find that our nervous systems are a bit frazzled and in need of a reset. This voice and singing workshop will help you transition from an [activated nervous system (fight-or-flight state) to a calmer ‘rest and digest’ mode](https://bhma.org/polyvagal-theory-and-community-singing/). Since most of us spend too much time in a state of stress, it is crucial to learn how to activate a calmer, healing state of being. Singing and voice work have been proven to help regulate the nervous system, [bringing many mental and physical health benefits](https://fullcirclechange.ie/offerings/self-care/singing/). Through meditative chants, vocal practices and harmony songs, this workshop will help you sink into a deeper, more mindful state and provide you with some simple tools for harnessing the voice to continue this practice into 2026. Join us to reflect on this transition into the New Year and set some powerful intentions through the voice. Adults of all ages and abilities are welcome. You don’t need any singing or voice-work experience, and no one will be asked to sing solo. This is a relaxed, friendly and safe space, and participants frequently report leaving feeling recharged, grounded, and uplifted. Harmony singing is extremely beneficial to our physical, mental and spiritual health and wellbeing, and you will leave feeling recharged, grounded, and uplifted. Adults of all ages and abilities are welcome. You don’t need any singing or voice-work experience, and no one will be asked to sing solo. This is a relaxed, friendly and safe space.

Session Abstract **Data on Fire: A Hands-On Intro to Spark in Fabric** Curious about Apache Spark but not sure where to start? This hands-on session introduces you to Spark in Microsoft Fabric Notebooks—a powerful and accessible way to process and analyze big data using familiar tools in the Microsoft ecosystem. We’ll break down key Spark concepts like distributed computing, DataFrames, and lazy evaluation, then show how they come to life inside Fabric’s notebook experience. You’ll see practical demos that cover loading, transforming, and analyzing large datasets—while leveraging Fabric’s modern data stack, including OneLake, Dataflows, and Pipelines. You’ll also learn how to choose between Spark and pure Python notebooks in Fabric, based on execution needs, data integration, and use case fit. Whether you're a SQL pro, BI developer, or data engineer, this session will give you the tools and confidence to start using Spark in your own projects—no cluster management required. \*Please note, that we will be using Microsoft Teams for the online portion of this meeting. You may want to join a few minutes early to ensure you do not have any issues. If you are attending in person, there are large TVs at the office, and you do not need to bring a laptop or use Teams.
