*“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” — Adapted from Carl Jung* **What is a recurring pattern in your life that you’ve always chalked up to "just the way things are," but might actually be a choice you didn't know you were making?** We all like to believe we are the conscious authors of our own lives. We wake up, pursue our careers, nurture relationships, and make daily decisions with the conviction that we are fully in the driver's seat. For the most part, this belief keeps us moving forward, allowing us to build our lives with a sense of control and purpose. But sometimes, we notice strange echoes. We find ourselves repeating the same frustrating relationship dynamics, reacting with familiar anxieties, or following well-meaning expectations we've never paused to examine. We hit invisible walls and call it "bad luck," or we feel inexplicably stuck and chalk it up to "fate." Conscious Choice is the profound, sometimes unsettling process of looking under the hood. It is the act of checking our "blind spots"—the hidden impulses, unexamined fears, and borrowed beliefs that run our minds on autopilot—and asking: Am I actually making a free decision right now, or am I just following a default setting? Join us at this Curious Souls Cafe gathering to explore the brave, liberating work of turning off the autopilot. We will discuss how to untangle our authentic desires from our passed-down habits, the courage it takes to face our hidden drivers, and the profound freedom of finally taking the steering wheel. Bring your stories, a brave spirit, and an open mind. Let's explore what happens when we finally step out of the background noise and make a choice that is entirely our own. **Inviting those who...** 🪞 Are curious about the hidden drivers behind their daily routines and major life choices. 🧭 Feel like they are repeating certain life patterns and want to figure out how to break the cycle. 🗝️ Seek a brave, judgment-free space to discuss the deeper, sometimes messy layers of the human experience. 🫂 Want to understand the everyday expectations they absorbed, and decide what to keep and what to leave behind. 🤝 Hope to find "kindred spirits" who appreciate profound, authentic conversations over small talk. 📅 Agenda / What You'll Experience 💬 Prompted Conversations We will use virtual question cards designed to help people thoughtfully explore their experiences. Here are some sample questions: * We make thousands of choices a day. In your own life, what does it feel like to make a truly "conscious" choice versus a choice made purely on "autopilot"? * What is a small, everyday "rule" about how a life should be lived that you inherited, but recently decided to lovingly leave behind? * Making a conscious choice sometimes means stepping out of familiar patterns. How do you balance honoring your authentic self while still maintaining harmony with the people around you? From there, we’ll embark on a respectful, engaging, and meaningful conversation, celebrating the diversity of perspectives and ideas within the group. Note: This session may involve virtual question cards accessed via a link or QR code. If you do not have a device (phone/tablet) to access these, please ask a facilitator for assistance; we have spare units available. The exact format of the event may change depending on turnout according to [https://curioussouls.cafe/#how-to](https://curioussouls.cafe/#how-to) and other factors. 💬 Final Thoughts and Feedback Where time allows, in the final 10 minutes of the event, we’ll take a moment to reflect on the key insights, memorable moments, and takeaways from our discussions. This is a chance to distill the shared wisdom and leave with a deeper understanding of the topics we’ve explored together. After the event officially concludes, the group may choose to extend the session, depending on the group’s interest. Of course, you’re welcome to leave at any time that feels right for you. An anonymized summary will be shared for sessions where key insights are identified. After the meeting, our facilitators and participants may reflect on the discussion and contribute to a summary or collaborative workbook based on their notes and observations. Additionally, questions may be revisited in future sessions in an anonymized manner.

Highlights and Hidden Gems in SQL Server 2025 With so much emphasis on cloud data platforms and AI these days, SQL people can feel left behind by all the marketing hype. SQL Server 2025 was officially released in November of 2025, though, and contains a ton of improvements that will make our SQL Server deployments a bit faster, better, and more secure. There are even more improvements tucked into the release that never made a marketing blog or press release that you'll likely be learning about for the first time in this session! Join this session to learn about what makes your high availability a little more available, your performance a bit more performant, and your database more developer and app-friendly. Come spend an hour with SQL people talking SQL Server 2025 – the good, the "not quite ready for prime time", and the hidden awesomeness.

This presentation will be by Ben Iten, humanist chaplain and HCCO Board Member. Speaking on expressing Humanism values in American democracy. This meetings will be hybrid.

Main Library, Meeting Room 2B Join us for a welcoming evening of reflection, gentle music, and meaningful conversation. We’ll begin with a short grounding moment, followed by a brief reading from spiritual or philosophical traditions, and an open reflection circle where participants can share (or simply listen). Libera Animae is an interfaith community focused on inner growth, creativity, and authentic connection. All backgrounds are welcome.

You can sleep in on the Sesquicentennial (observed), we’re shifting to the following Friday. But join the local UX community for a chat and some biscuits to catch up. If you were in CA for Figma Config, tell us all the lines and you can tell me how I can animate an SVG without coding it by hand, and why I’d even want to. Thanks to the team at Nationwide of supporting the group.

Sleep in on Sundays. When you've had your fill of pajama-time, roll out and have some tasty brunch with your fellow Humanists!

Join us for lunch and meet our very successful group. We are each others sales team...always looking for referrals for our members. If you are looking for new clients, let us help you out!
