🌿 Pause. Reflect. Release. **A Guided Healing Circle & Fire Release Experience** 📅 Wednesday, 27 May 2026 🕖 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM 📍 RYVE Level 1, 38 Shafton St, Huntingdale VIC 3166 ## A gentle space to slow down and reconnect In the busyness of life, we carry so much quietly within us. Unspoken thoughts. Old emotions. Stress, grief, or experiences we’ve never fully processed. We keep going—often without giving ourselves the space to truly pause. This evening is an invitation to slow down. To breathe. To reconnect with yourself. And if you feel ready—to gently release what no longer serves you. ## What to expect This is a small, guided healing circle designed to feel calm, safe, and supportive. • Gentle grounding and guided reflection • Simple sensory awareness practices • A calm and welcoming group environment • Optional sharing (no pressure to speak) • A symbolic fire release experience No prior experience is needed. You are welcome exactly as you are. ## 🔥 Fire Release Experience Toward the end of the evening, you’ll be invited (if you choose) to take part in a symbolic fire release. You may write down something you’re ready to let go of— a past story, emotional weight, fear, or something you’ve been quietly carrying. As it burns, it becomes a moment of intention: to release, to shift, and to move forward. Many people describe this moment as grounding, emotional, and deeply liberating. ## A gentle, grounded approach Throughout the evening, we’ll explore simple awareness practices—connecting with your body, your breath, your emotions, and your inner sense of clarity. There’s nothing you need to “get right.” Just come as you are and experience the space in your own way. ## A safe and supportive space There is no pressure to share. You are welcome to simply sit, listen, and be present. This is not therapy or counselling, but a guided space for reflection, awareness, and connection. ## Hosted by Vivienne Vu Through her work with Kismetrix \| True Connection\, Vivienne creates spaces for presence\, emotional awareness\, and meaningful human connection\. ## Important Notes • Small, intimate group to maintain a safe environment • Optional participation in all activities • Please arrive on time to respect the group experience ## Limited spots available This is an intimate experience and spaces are intentionally limited. ## By attending You acknowledge this is a guided wellbeing experience and not a substitute for medical, psychological, or therapeutic treatment.

RSVP on our GDG community platform -> https://gdg.community.dev/events/details/google-gdg-melbourne-presents-gdg-melbourne-june26-meetup/ This event is hosted at the Mantel Group Office, with the recording of the talks to be shared afterwards on YouTube if you can't make it. There will be food, networking and some surprise swag!Agenda: 6:20 - Intro 6:30 - Talks 8:00 till late - networking & chat (& drinks optional)Speakers and Talks: Talk 1: Olga Mirensky - Senior Staff Site Reliability Engineer @ Ping Identity **Olga and Her Agent Attended AI Engineer Conference. Lessons Learned** What happens when you let an experimental Stand-In Agent run loose against a live conference environment? To follow the fast-paced sessions of an AI Engineer conference, I built an agent while at the conference. The agent monitored talks and distilled what actually mattered to me - filtering for high-value signal and turning it into specs ready to implement or articles I should read. I started with a different platform, but pivoted to an ADK agent deployed to GCP Agent Platform. Identical system prompt, different platform architecture, different LLM - completely different outcomes. This talk is a transparent look at what happens when agentic experiments meet reality, including an architectural runaway bug that burned 1M tokens per minute. We look past the hype and focus on the real engineering rigour required to build purposeful agents, with four key takeaways: * The Purpose Filter: Why does your agent care about this specific talk? If it’s not highly unique, you’re just automating noise. * Architecture > Hype: The gap between what you expect and what actually happens at runtime and why. * The Personalised Flywheel: High-signal distillation requires deep context about you, your team, and where you are in your journey. * Clear Goal Setting: Moving from “autonomous” to “purposeful”. In the replay demo I’ll walk through my flywheel showing how the agent filtered the content in real-time, picked up on tech I am interested in, turned it into an implementable spec, and how AI tools can close the loop to further automate the entire implementation, testing, and release cycle. Talk 2: Sahil Bahadur Devkota - Full Stack Developer **Beyond LLMs: why RAG is equally important** In this talk, I'll break down how RAG works, why is it really important in real-world and it's popular architectural pattern. We'll look at the core components of a RAG pipeline, discuss it's implementation approach, and cover some of the key things to think about when building an AI applications with RAG. Whether you're working with AI or building application that need accurate responses, you'll leave with a practical understanding of when RAG make sense - and when it doesn't. Talk 3: Abhijeet Kumar \- AI & Automation \| Cloud enthusiast **Beyond RAG: Building an Agentic "Second Brain" with FastAPI, pgvector, and Gemini** Move beyond static note-taking apps. This talk explores Project NeuralFortress—a custom, Python-built knowledge management system designed to actively synthesize information. We’ll walk through evolving a basic RAG script into an agentic pipeline using FastAPI for routing, Neon PostgreSQL (pgvector) for vector storage, and Google Gemini for cognitive processing. In Development (Sneak Peek): A brief look at experimental features currently in testing to make the system fully autonomous: GraphRAG: Mapping multi-hop relationships beyond standard vector distance. MCP Integration: Native database queries directly from your code editor. Async Watchers: Autonomous background web scraping and data ingestion.

**Who We are..... 🤝** Our journey to bring people together began in January of 2022. The group was started with a simple intention to gather and meet some likeminded people - connecting through the powerful act of meditation and sharing our genuine selves while sitting in a circle that represents equality, harmony and wholeness( *we believe everyone in the circle is a teacher and a student at the same time)*. And over the last 4 years of consistently coming together, we have fostered a beautiful, loving, dependable community where members from all walks of life have experienced a sacred space to sit in silence together and meditate, share their authentic selves, give presence to others and forge meaningful and long lasting connections. The Meditations are guided by Sana(co-founder and host), who is a Trained and certified meditation teacher by the Meditation Association of Australia, and has been guiding meditations for 3+ years in corporate and community settings. ✨ **Do you wish to....** * Experience a simple yet powerful meditation and breathing practice to find calm, relaxation and clarity * Connect with like-minded people in your local community and foster meaningful connections * Meet others who are passionate about growing, uplifting themselves, and supporting others * Share insights from your personal journey (or simply listen and learn) Or maybe you just want to... ☮️ **Spend your Sunday evening in a peaceful, zen space and meet new people?
