Open Heart Meditation Sessions with Amrita Rani (Live in-person and online on selected Thursdays via Zoom) You are warmly invited to join the Open Heart Meditation Sessions with Amrita Rani. These sessions are created both for beginners and seasoned practitioners who wish to deepen their meditation practice, stabilize awakening, and walk the path of enlightenment with guidance and support. Whether you are new or experienced, each gathering offers a grounded structure to help you build consistency in daily practice and grow in confidence on your spiritual path. At the heart of Open Heart teachings is direct recognition. Through the Two-Part Formula and precise meditative guidance, you are supported in shifting from self-based mode into selfless awareness, again and again, until cessation of self-based suffering takes place. A central and deeply transformative practice in Open Heart is guru yoga. Through guru yoga, the practitioner directly connects with awakened awareness through devotion, transmission, and experiential recognition. With the help of this profound method, one recognizes their true selfless ease, the natural, effortless state beyond space and time. Alongside guru yoga, the sessions include insight meditation (Vipashyana), tantric methods, dynamic concentration, trauma-healing techniques, and foundational practices such as Bodhicitta prayers. Each session includes guided meditation, space for questions, reflection, and personal support. Rani’s meditation sessions are held live on Zoom on selected Thursdays from 18:30 to 20:00 (CET). Recordings may be available for continued integration and practice on her YouTube channel, The Sweetness of Enlightenment. Participation fee: 15 € per session Please make your payment in advance via PayPal before joining, to Rani’s PayPal account: kaisaeskeli@gmail.com Upcoming Thursday Sessions for Summer Season: 14.5.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 4.6.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 11.6.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 18.6.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 25.6.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 2.7.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 9.7.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 23.7.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 30.7.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) Zoom link for all sessions: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89766267672 Welcome all!

🇹🇷 Ljubljana International: Slow Turkish Aegean Dinner – Rakı, Meze & Soul 📅 Saturday, June 13 ⏰ 19:00 📍 Meyhane Zahir, Ljubljana For one evening, Ljubljana becomes Izmir. We'll gather around communal tables and enjoy a curated selection of authentic Turkish mezes, accompanied by rakı, music, stories, and great company. A meyhane is more than a restaurant. It's a place where strangers become friends, where meals last for hours, and where people come together to share food, culture, laughter, and life. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🍽️ THE EXPERIENCE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ The evening begins with a complimentary welcome glass of rakı and a short introduction to Turkish rakı culture. Together we'll raise a toast before dinner begins. Throughout the evening, a curated selection of authentic Turkish Aegean mezes and dishes will be served to the table for sharing. Our chef will introduce the dishes and explain the traditions behind them. Expect a slow-paced evening centered around good food, meaningful conversations, and genuine hospitality. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🍴 FIXED SHARING MENU ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • Kurucacık • Köpoğlu • Hummus • Girit Ezmesi • Barbunya Pilaki • Seasonal Salad • Unlimited Toasted Bread • Butter Shrimp • İrmik Helvası (Traditional Semolina Dessert) • 1 Glass of Rakı 💰 Price: €39 per person Additional drinks such as wine, beer, soft drinks, and extra glasses of rakı will be available separately and are not included in the event price. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌱 VEGETARIAN & VEGAN FRIENDLY ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ One of the beautiful things about Aegean meyhane cuisine is that many dishes are naturally vegetarian or vegan. Vegetarian guests are already well accommodated, and vegan options can be arranged with advance notice. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎶 THE ATMOSPHERE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ The evening begins with soft Turkish fasil and Aegean melodies, creating the feeling of a seaside dinner somewhere between Izmir and Bodrum. As the night unfolds, the music gradually becomes more lively, moving into upbeat Aegean and Balkan rhythms while keeping the focus on conversation, connection, and shared experiences. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌍 PERFECT FOR ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • Food lovers • Travelers • Expats and internationals • Locals curious about Turkish culture • People looking for meaningful conversations • Anyone who enjoys slow dining and authentic cultural experiences ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚠️ LIMITED TO 25 GUESTS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ To preserve the intimate atmosphere of a traditional meyhane, attendance is limited to just 25 guests. 👇 HOW TO SECURE ENTRY: You must fill out the Google Form below to claim your seat.

Since then, we’ve built a suite of AI‑driven solutions that transform this data into real, measurable outcomes—accelerating benefits decisions for our Nation’s Veterans. Join us for a focused conversation on how an outcome‑driven approach to AI is helping us boost accuracy, streamline workflows, and deliver faster results for those who have served.

**👟 Outdoor Orienteering – Maps Provided** Lace up and join us to make our way around a beginner-friendly course with navigation, exploration, and a laugh along the way. If you've never done this before, you're in good company — you can walk the whole thing if you prefer. After a relaxed briefing and a map each, then head out to find the controls in any order you like, and take a picture at every marker to track your finds. Trainers or light boots work perfectly, have your phone handy for snapping controls, and come ready to explore. --- **The format:** - Meet at the start point and grab your map - Navigate the course solo or in a small group - Wrap up with photos and a chat about route choices --- 🌤️ A relaxed way to spend an afternoon outside — add yourself to the group and join in. We'll see you on the day. 🌤️

Title: Smart Search + AI: An Outcome-Driven Journey from IDP to a Suite of AI Register at the Columbus AWS meetup: [https://www.meetup.com/columbus-aws-amazon-web-services-meetup/events/313426379/](https://www.meetup.com/columbus-aws-amazon-web-services-meetup/events/313426379/) Over a billion documents processed. Millions of Veterans impacted. Hundreds of thousands of employee hours saved. Faster decisions. Greater accuracy. More benefits in the hands of our disabled Veterans. We created Smart Search, the world’s largest consumer of Amazon Textract, right when GenAI began reshaping what’s possible. Since then, we’ve built a suite of AI‑driven solutions that transform this data into real, measurable outcomes—accelerating benefits decisions for our Nation’s Veterans. Join us for a focused conversation on how an outcome‑driven approach to AI is helping us boost accuracy, streamline workflows, and deliver faster results for those who have served. This is a follow up to the AWS re:Invent 2023 "Intelligent Document Processing with Gen AI for Public Sector" presentation. About Speaker: Cameron Williams is a Senior Technical Project Manager and cross-functional technical leader at Booz Allen Hamilton with 15+ years of experience architecting and evolving scalable, cloud-native systems, from greenfield development to complex enterprise modernization. https://www.linkedin.com/in/cameronw711/ **THANK YOU** *Franklin University* for hosting our meetup!
