IF THE EVENT IS FULL, PLEASE USE THE LINK BELOW TO SIGN UP Ready to meet people who value depth, presence, and real connection? It starts here. 👉 Join us: [https://www.consciousconnectionsclub.com/join](https://www.consciousconnectionsclub.com/join) Passcode: 978508 Doors close 3 minutes after we begin — to support safety and full presence. ### What to Expect If you're tired of small talk, dating apps, or social spaces that feel disconnected — you're not alone. In just 30 minutes, you’ll experience how our Connection Games create a different kind of space: grounded, spacious, playful, and real. This is not a drop-in or matchmaking event. It’s a slow, intentional process of meeting people who care about conscious relating, emotional awareness, and nervous system-regulated connection. After completing a Welcome Call, you’ll be invited to join our events in the city you are based or locations you visit regularly (more than 20+ locations worldwide). ### What You’ll Walk Away With Presence & Ease No performance. No pressure. Just being yourself — and meeting others doing the same. Friendships That Matter Many walk away with deep, lasting friendships. Sometimes romance unfolds. That said, the focus is on connection — and growth. Relational Skills That Stay With You Our games and practices support self-awareness, curiosity, and co-regulation — tools you can bring into conversations anywhere: dates, friendships, even family dinners. ### How to Join Everyone starts with a Welcome Call — unless personally invited by one of our members. This helps us create intentional, safe, and aligned spaces. 📍 Join the call: [Click here to join](https://www.consciousconnectionsclub.com/join) Zoom link will be emailed. Can’t find it? Search: connect@consciousconnectionsclub.com ### Upon Completing Your Call, You'll Get: * Access to RSVP for our facilitated singles events * 25% off your first ticket (when eligible) * The chance to meet people in your city who match your values ### This Is For You If: * You’re craving more realness, laughter, and depth * You’re new in town, navigating change, or done with modern dating fatigue * You value personal growth, mindfulness, and authentic connection * You’re curious about yourself and others Some people leave the call thinking: “Where have you all been my whole life?” Others realize it’s not their scene — and that’s perfect too. ### Already Know This Is Your Scene? Or just want to put your name down for your city? 👉 [https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join](https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join) (You’ll still need to attend a Welcome Call before joining any event.) *** ### Clarifying Meetup Numbers Numbers shown on Meetup ≠ actual attendees. Everyone you’ll meet has completed a Welcome Call or been invited by one of our members — so the space starts aligned, safe, and meaningful. ### A Quick Note on Privacy Your info stays with us. We never sell or share your data — it’s only used to support your experience and help you connect with aligned people. This isn’t about trying harder. It’s about slowing down, showing up, and letting real connection happen. We’d love to meet you. [Join the Welcome Call.](http://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join)

**Alone for the holidays? We've got you!** If you’re new to the city or simply don’t have anyone to spend the season with, this evening is built for you. Share a dinner, meet new people in small groups, and end the night with a relaxed party where connections can naturally grow. **What to expect:** * Dinner in small groups (max 8 per table, you purchase your meal) * Smart matching based on your signup answers, so you sit with people you’re likely to connect with * After dinner: music, dancing, and meeting everyone else * A fully offline, phone-free atmosphere This event is also the **promotion of a new friendship app** designed for people who struggle to find available friends or who are building a social life from scratch. The idea: choose the date, time, and place, the app matches you with a group and sends out invites to people who fit your vibe. For this event, you won’t need to use the app, **but downloading it is required** so you can start using it right after if you like the concept. **And yes the app itself is completely free.**

The practice of authentic presence is about freely expressing and revealing yourself while being with others. Through this practice, you learn to let go of habitual patterns and conditioned responses, allowing you to form deeper, more genuine connections rooted in who you truly are. ## About the event Authentic presence is a path of radical honesty. It creates a safe and supportive environment where you can look at yourself with fresh eyes. At the same time it often is fun, enjoyable, beautiful, and meaningful. Ultimately, this practice leads to a closer connection with yourself and more meaningful relationships with others. Join these beginner sessions to learn basic techniques from authentic relating and circling. Activities include meditations, dialogues, and exercises on sharing and owning your experience. No prerequisites—just come as you are!

If you feel like you need a break from a daily grid, the Mindful Flow practice is the right choice for you!

I propose a game of Lost Ruins of Arnak. In the year 19XX, a mysterious island has been discovered. Teams of explorers engage into a race to be the first to decipher the remains of the lost civilisation which inhabited the island. LROA is a game of deck building and worker placement. Across 5 moon phases (5 game rounds), you must balance your turns between gathering resources and spending them to progress through the island and the study of its ruins. All expansions will be available, which does not add much complexity to the base game. We will likely play one of the boards of the last expansion (spider or owl temple).

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.
