June 14 | Blackwood Social - Afternoon Drinks for Singles | Windsor
⨠**KISMETRIX \| True Connection**
[Ticketed Event](https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/june-14-blackwood-social-afternoon-drinks-for-singles-windsor-tickets-1990554475019)
### **Blackwood Social - Afternoon Drinks for Singles**
**š Blackwoods Wine & Cocktail Bar ā 137 Chapel Street, Windsor**
**š
Sunday, 14 June 2026 Ā· 2:00 PM ā 5:00 PM**
**š„ Standard drink on arrival included**
**Somewhere along the way, meeting people got lonely.**
The apps turned connection into a catalogue. The bar scene stopped feeling worth it. Your social circle calcified in your late twenties and nobody told you how to crack it back open.
You're not anti-social. You're not too picky. You're just waiting for a room that actually feels worth walking into.
This is that room.
#### BLACKWOOD SOCIAL
Kismetrix doesn't run singles nights. We build the kind of afternoon where you walk in not knowing a soul ā and walk out wondering why Sunday ever looked like anything else.
Blackwoods Wine & Cocktail Bar in Windsor is the setting. Unhurried. Intimate. The kind of place that makes conversation feel easy before you've even tried.
Our host will be there from the moment you arrive ā not to run activities or move you around the room, but to make sure nobody spends their first five minutes standing alone wondering if they've made a mistake. You haven't. We've got you.
Name tags on. Guard down. Drink in hand.
See what happens.
#### WHO THIS IS FOR
Professionals and creatives aged 28ā42 who are socially confident but privately a little tired of how hard it's become to meet people who actually get it. People who want a relationship, or a friend, or just proof that their city still has interesting humans in it.
Most guests come alone. That's not the exception here ā that's the point.
#### WHAT YOU'RE WALKING INTO
š„ Standard drink waiting for you on arrival
šø Full cocktail and wine menu at one of Windsor's best bars
š Name tags ā because remembering someone's name is the beginning of everything
š¤ A host who genuinely cares how you feel in the room
š Cosy indoors + heated courtyard out back
#### WHAT PEOPLE LEAVE WITH
Sometimes it's a number. Sometimes it's a new regular at your table. Sometimes it's just the feeling ā quiet but real ā that your people are out there and you've started finding them.
Kismetrix is where that starts.
#### TICKETS - [Book Here](https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/june-14-blackwood-social-afternoon-drinks-for-singles-windsor-tickets-1990554475019)
šæ Early Bird ā $29 (first to go ā always)
šæ Standard ā $45

#### ABOUT KISMETRIX
Kismetrix is Melbourne's premium real-life connection experience ā built on the belief that the most important relationships in your life will not begin with a swipe. Every event is intentionally designed, warmly hosted, and quietly obsessed with how it feels to be in the room.

Spiritual Bypassing ā Awakening Can't Fix What You Refuse to See
Spiritual bypassing is when your practice becomes a way of avoiding what it was meant to meet. It creates a gap between the awakening that was promised and the life that's still here.
The tricky part is that it's difficult to spot.
The practice still looks spiritual on the surface. You meditate. You speak about awareness and surrender. Yet the same fear, restlessness and loneliness remain untouched.
**What You'll Discover:** In this talk you'll discover what spiritual bypassing actually is, how it hides inside long-term practice, and how to tell the difference between spirituality that integrates and spirituality that avoids.
**Schedule**
* Talk by Rajiv followed by open Q&A
* Guided Meditation
* Spiritual networking. Make friends with others on the spiritual path
**About Rajiv**
Rajiv dedicated years of his life seeking enlightenment. His pursuit for truth, reality, emptiness and self-discovery took him through the profound depths of mysticism. He meditated 14 hours a day, stayed with monks, lived in the Himalayan caves, learned from wise sages and researched every major spiritual system, including Zen, Non-Duality, Yoga, Buddhism etc.
Then one momentous morning in 2005, he experienced his first shift into higher states of consciousness, an inner spiritual awakening. This was followed by days of infinite ecstasy and bliss. Finally, the years of seeking culminated and he realised his own true nature.
He now shares his deep insights to help seekers progress on the path of awakening & meditation. His approach is secular, based on personal experience. You can read about his spiritual journey here ā [https://innerspiritualawakening.com/rajiv-agarwal/my-journey/](https://innerspiritualawakening.com/rajiv-agarwal/my-journey/)
**Venue**
Kathleen Syme Library 251 Faraday Street, Carlton, VIC
We will be in Multipurpose Room 1.

Learn how to be funny (er) with Honor
Have you ever felt like you would like to laugh more, make others laugh or that life feels too serious ?
Then this workshop is for you!
Life can weigh us down, yet Harvard Business Review has cited that humor is a key factor in maintaining emotional resilience through these ups and downs.
The Benefits of Being funny:
There are many benefits of being funny. 1. It creates a positive vibe at gatherings and in relationships, breaks the ice, creates connection, can open conversations, excellent for flirting and dating and building attraction, and FEELS GOOD for all involved! AND can be used to diffuse conflicts. Oh shit i forgot to number the points after number one, oh well , im sure you get it1
But HOW do you do it? well that's what i'm going to teach you silly!
Along my journey of personal development i stumbled across the gift of humor within myself and stared performing at open mics, and just making people around me feel happier and more at ease. I also did several comedy improv workshops and shows.
So I thought I would break down how I did it and teach you lot!
So in this workshop i will teach you the nuts and bolts of what makes something funny and then we will do some practice exercises so you can see your true humorous self emerge, trigger warning - prepare for big belly laughs.
After feedback from the last workshop there will be more practical exercises to practice being funny.
There are 10 spots funded my Neurospicy meetup.

Stop Guessing: A Product Person's Guide to AI Adoption
## š¤ Host Information
A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus
š” About the Workshop
AI adoption is stalling across organizations ā not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge.
This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow.
Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption ā no guesswork required.
š ļø What to Bring
Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go.
AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!)
š Logistics & Perks
Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided!
Parking: Plenty of free spaces available on-site.

Smart Search + AI: An Outcome-Driven Journey from IDP to a Suite of AI
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 worldās largest consumer of Amazon Textract, right when GenAI began reshaping whatās possible. Since then, weāve built a suite of AIādriven solutions that transform this data into real, measurable outcomesāaccelerating benefits decisions for our Nationās Veterans.
Join us for a focused conversation on how an outcomeādriven 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.

Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code - Alan Barber
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
*Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code*
Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs.
In this session, weāll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. Weāll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling.
The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. Weāll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options.

Microsoft Build - Columbus Edition!
We are bringing Microsoft Build sessions to Columbus Ohio!
The Central Ohio Azure Meetup and Central Ohio .NET Developer's Group (CONDG) are coming together to bring some of the labs and breakouts from Microsoft Build to your backyard. In this free, 1 day event, you are going to Build stuff with us!
And yes, there will be free food.
Please RSVP via [Microsoft Build //localhost:columbus | Microsoft Reactor](https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/reactor/events/27247/).
Battle of the personal agents
Join the Columbus AI community for a special event.
**Battle of the Personal Agents** is your chance to see what people are actually building with AI agents and personal automation systems. Whether youāre running OpenClaw, Hermes, or a completely custom solution, bring your agent and show the community how it works.
Weāre interested in real-world implementations: the problems your agent solves, how you use it day-to-day, how itās hosted and managed, how you built it, and why youāve chosen to keep using it. Live demonstrations are encouraged, so be prepared to show your code, architecture, workflows, and your agent performing real tasks.
This is less about polished presentations and more about sharing practical experience, comparing approaches, and learning from one another. If youād like to present, please contact Chris Slee (via meetup) before the event so we can allocate enough time for everyoneās demonstrations.
Come ready to show what youāve built, discover what others are doing, and maybe find a few ideas worth taking home.
Whether youāre deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.
