We make an effort to find pubs that are quiet and introvert friendly, with a section to ourselves. We make no effort to muffle our extroverts, but should they get out of hand, our resident INTJ will use their death stare, to pull them back in line.

"Get Spiritually Creative!" Ontario Eck Light and Sound Service
* **Discover the creative power of Soul to enrich your life.**
* **Learn how to tap into your innate creative talents--God's gift to you.**
(ONTARIO PROVINCIAL ECK Light & Sound Service - Hybrid event)
[Eckankar Ontario Spiritual Events](https://www.eckankarcanada.ca/ontario-spiritual-events.html)
[Eckankar Free Books](https://www.eckankar.org/freebook/wisdom/)
"Creative people who cherish the gift of life often slip into the secret chambers of the creative mind. Their solutions are well-rounded, more sensible than those of people who rely solely upon reason as their mainstay. Gratitude unseals fountains of creativity, because a grateful person is relaxed. This allows him to take stock of these circumstances with an objective mind. A creative person often gets three-dimensional answers to his problems."
—Harold Klemp, *The Language of Soul*, p. 66

Dojos are informal Python group study sessions where everyone interested in Python gathers to learn about Python, help others with Python, or just hang out. Everyone is welcome from Python beginners to experts. Bringing a laptop is encouraged (we'll have extension cords and power strips). If there's something you want to learn leave a comment on this invite so we can plan ahead.
We're looking for topic suggestions and people interested in presenting at our monthly meetings. To this end we've set up a survey form at [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/15eBKF1nQQ2XS5gzD4rvhVRHMBEj7lJtHuA9wXupS3Uc](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/15eBKF1nQQ2XS5gzD4rvhVRHMBEj7lJtHuA9wXupS3Uc)
