Mob Programming at Mofer Coffee
Let’s do some coding together at a cafe! No more working alone in the weekend. Here, we write code together. And I mean together together. Not occupying-the-same-space-but-separate together.
Here’s how it works: Jennifer brings her mobile app project, tells everyone that it is like Pinterest for recipes and she’d like to work on the nav bar. Paul and Chloe think Jennifer's project is fascinating, and they join the group. They gather around Jennifer’s laptop and work on the nav bar for 2 hours. Jennifer is the one typing out the code while Paul and Chloe research, brainstorm, and offer suggestions.
If you’re feeling stuck on your own project or need a motivation boost, bring it to mob programming!
Want to learn by watching how others code and solve problems? Join someone else’s project at this event!
Oh and we love your half-done projects that you are a bit embarrassed to share. Absolutely bring those to the event!
**Discord**:
We use Discord to share screen & code snippets during the event. Also feel free to share your projects here before the event!
https://discord.gg/Da9fZFxPfs
**Event policy**:
* We have 0 tolerance for harassment.
* We don’t allow the projects that are not meant to be shared in public such as school assignments, interview tasks, or trade secrets.
* The goal is to write code. We discourage you from pitching business ideas here, doing code reviews, or spending the whole event on planning what to do.
* Please buy a drink, and tip the barista well.

Kundalini Activation Process by Tracey • with Halotherapy • Sat Dec 20th at 1PM
**A Note from Tracey🌹**
Last December, we gathered in the Salt Room to close out the year—and it was *powerful*. The combination of healing energy, breath, and community created something truly unforgettable.
So this year, we’re doing it again.
This will be the **final KAP session of 2025**, and if you’ve been feeling the call to release, reconnect, or simply take a sacred pause before the new year begins—I’d love for you to join us.
Let’s complete this chapter together…
In stillness.
In remembrance.
In reverence for all that we’ve moved through—and all that we’re becoming.
With love,
Tracey 🤍

**Halotherapy with Heart and Healing**
Imagine stepping into a serene sanctuary, where the air feels alive with healing energy. Here, your breath deepens, your thoughts quiet, and your spirit feels held. This is the gift of **halotherapy**—a gentle, natural practice that nurtures you from the inside out.
Our KAP session takes this powerful experience further by guiding you into *inner awareness* within the unique environment of a salt room. It’s a union of energies you may not have encountered before, as I’ve yet to find another KAP session facilitated in such a nourishing space.
The salt room becomes both grounding and expansive—a place where physical healing and spiritual connection intertwine. It’s not just ***Kundalini Activation Process (KAP)***; it’s ***KAP elevated***, supported by the ancient wisdom of salt therapy.
**Halotherapy, a gentle, healing practice held in serene salt rooms, offers countless ways to nourish you from within. Here are 10 powerful benefits of spending time in a salt room and allowing yourself to connect with its cleansing and calming energy:**
**1️⃣** Easier Breathing **– Relish the pure, cleansing essence of salt, with its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, working to clear your airways and enhance each breath.**
**2️⃣** Boosted Immunity **– Regular sessions subtly strengthen your immune system, fortifying your body and helping it stay resilient and well.**
**3️⃣** Radiant Skin **– Whether it’s soothing eczema, calming psoriasis, or aiding acne healing, halotherapy revitalizes your skin, leaving it fresh and glowing.**
**4️⃣** Deep Relaxation **– The salt room’s tranquil ambiance melts away stress and hushes the noise of anxious thoughts, wrapping you in soothing calm.**
**5️⃣** Lung Support **– Feel the salt work to expel mucus and impurities, rejuvenating your lung health and making every breath a refreshing gift.**
**6️⃣** Deeper Sleep **– Leave the salt room recharged yet serene, making restful, replenishing sleep come effortlessly.**
**7️⃣** Relief From Allergies **– Notice your nasal passages relax as salt whisks away irritation and offers relief to allergy sufferers.**
**8️⃣** Natural Energy **– Open airways, reduced inflammation, and a sense of lightness renew your energy and invigorate your spirit.**
**9️⃣** Sinus Health **– Bid farewell to congestion as salt’s natural anti-inflammatory properties work wonders, restoring easy, open breathing.**
**🔟** Faster Recovery **– Whether you’re an athlete or simply active, halotherapy nurtures your body with reduced inflammation and better oxygen flow, speeding up recovery.**
**Breathe deeply, breathe fully, and feel salt’s quiet, powerful healing touch. 🧘♀️ Halotherapy invites you to combine relaxation, wellness, and self-love in a natural, serene way.**
**Salt Palace: A Sacred Space of Connection**
At **[Salt Palace](https://saltpalace.ca/)**, you’re welcomed into a unique 450 sq. ft. salt room, lovingly crafted from over 10 tons of pure pink Himalayan salt. This exquisite salt, sourced from the ancient Punjab region of Pakistan, has a story as timeless as the earth itself. Formed from a primordial sea over 250 million years ago, the dense salt deposits born from that landlocked sea are infused with the natural pink hue of ancient microorganisms. Himalayan salt, untouched and 100% natural, is rich in over 84 precious minerals, including iodine, magnesium, and potassium—elements that nurture and replenish the body.
**[Salt Palace](https://saltpalace.ca/)** is designed to mirror the natural microclimate of mountain salt caves. Thanks to our state-of-the-art halo generator, the healing potential is amplified through a delicate aerosol of dry salt, allowing you to fully absorb its benefits. The microscopic salt particles penetrate deeply into your lungs and skin, delivering therapeutic effects where they are most needed. This gentle, spiritual process aligns with your body’s natural rhythms, creating a space where true transformation can take place.
Join us at the **[Salt Palace](https://saltpalace.ca/)** for a transformative KAP experience designed to awaken your energy, deepen your breath, or simply nourish your soul, embrace a journey of profound renewal and gentle healing as the sacred essence of Himalayan salt to bring light, love, and balance into your life.

**Kundalini Activation Process (KAP)** is a powerful and life-changing experience that helps you unlock your true potential. Imagine going on a deep adventure within yourself, finding hidden treasures of your personality and abilities that you didn't know existed. With KAP, you learn to light up the energy inside you and connect with the life force present in all living things. This process guides you to break free from old habits and beliefs that have been holding you back, allowing you to live in new and fulfilling ways.
KAP is the ***path of surrender***, it's about letting go rather than trying harder, different from practices like kundalini yoga, tantra, or chi gong. Energy moves from the top of your head down to your base, clearing blockages and healing old wounds on its way.
In this session, you'll receive a "***double transmission***" - a powerful mix of Kundalini energy and non-dual consciousness. This fusion will enliven your life force energy, revitalizing your body, mind, and energy flow. Simultaneously, your awareness will expand into the realm of non-duality, enriching your perception of the unity of all beings.
**HOW IS THE SESSION?**
I invite you to find a cozy spot to lie down on a yoga mat, where you can fully sink into this experience. Once you're settled, I'll start playing some specially chosen music that helps your brain relax more deeply.
During our time together, I'll focus on your energy centers, also known as chakras, and specific meridian points on your body. My goal is to use gentle touch and light pressure to help clear any energy blocks and support your overall well-being. Rest assured, the pressure will always be soft and comfortable to ensure you feel safe and at ease throughout our session.
**WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT DURING A SESSION?**
Walking into a KAP session, you leave the outside world behind. What happens next is nothing short of amazing.
**Energetic Vibes**: While you're lying down, you might start feeling a powerful energy moving through you. It's like an electric wave that fills you up, making every part of you come alive.
**Visual Adventures**: Your inner sight, or "third eye," wakes up, and suddenly, you're seeing vivid images, colors, and maybe even going on visual journeys to places beyond your wildest dreams.
**A Rollercoaster of Emotions**: It's normal to feel a whole spectrum of emotions during the session. You might feel anger, sadness, fear, happiness, or even burst into laughter. The magic happens when you allow yourself to fully experience these emotions without holding back.
**Unexpected Movements**: You might find your body moving in ways you didn't plan, like stretching, shaking, or even striking a yoga pose. Listen to what your body wants to do without overthinking it. You may feel tension build up and then release, leaving you in a state of deep relaxation.
**Blissful Moments**: There's a chance you'll reach a bliss state, where you're completely in the moment, feeling a deep sense of joy and satisfaction. It's tough to put this feeling into words, but it's unforgettable once you've felt it.
**DISCOVER THE BENEFITS OF KAP**
* **Freedom from Emotional Baggage**: Wave goodbye to those heavy emotions that drag you down.
* **Broadened Consciousness**: Find yourself thinking and understanding beyond your usual limits.
* **Intuition Amplified**: Your gut feelings get louder and clearer.
* **Stress and Anxiety Reduction**: Watch your worries and tensions melt away.

* **Wiser Decisions**: Navigate life with a sharper compass.

* **Breaking Old Habits**: Step out of cycles that no longer serve you.
* **Increased Resilience**: Find strength to change what doesn't work in your life.
* **Deeper Compassion**: Understand and connect with others on a new level.

* The food court is directly connected to the Dundas subway station, although it is a bit difficult to find. Especially for those who will join our event for the first time, we recommend the following directions,
1. Leave the subway station and walk west for about three minutes along Dundas Street.
2. At the intersection of Bay Street and Dundas Street, you will find an entrance. Proceed down the escalator.
3. The food court is on the basement floor. Please talk to the organizer with the signboard showing TJEX. (If you can’t find them, please send a message to the organizer.)
⚠️RSVP & Late Policy
* Failure to show, arriving after 5:45 PM (15 minutes late), and cancelling after 1:00 PM on the day of the event all constitute a "no-show". Members are removed from the group after their third no-show.
* If you are running late, please ensure you send a message to the organizer so we can keep a spot open for you. We will rearrange the groups for members who show up on time. If you show up late without letting us know, we will no longer allow you to join so please be mindful of the time.
Waiting List:
Members can join the waiting list if an event is full. In case a spot becomes available, it will be automatically assigned to a member on the waitlist on a first-come first-serve basis.
PLEASE BE ADVISED:
Members from the “Waiting” list are moved automatically to the “Going” list by the system when a spot opens up. You may or may not get a notification from Meetup when this happens. So only sign up on the “Waiting list” for an event if you are sure you can come for it. If the system automatically puts you on the “Going” list and you don't show up to the event, you will receive a strike.

HTML5 Master Series (Class 01 of 04) (SPECIAL OFFERING)
**PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING IMPORTANT NOTES:**
1. The dates listed for this series are about 95% reliable. We are completing our 2026 schedule as we speak, so minor adjustments are still occurring.
2. Each class in this series has an attendance fee, though this first offering is free on a first-come, first-served basis.
3. Each class, from BOTH a sign-up and fee perspective, is a separate entity.
**Introduction:**
HTML5 is the foundational technology for modern web development, serving as the standard markup language for structuring and presenting content on the World Wide Web. Developed through a collaboration between the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and the Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG), HTML5 provides a robust system of elements (tags) that tell a browser how to display text, images, and multimedia in a clear and meaningful way. It works in concert with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) for presentation and JavaScript for interactivity, forming the core technology stack for virtually all websites and many web applications today.
One of the significant advancements of HTML5 is the introduction of powerful new features and elements designed to improve functionality and simplify development. Key additions include native multimedia support via the \ and \ tags, allowing developers to embed media without third-party plugins. It also offers new form controls for better user input, such as date and email types, and introduces web storage capabilities to store data offline for enhanced performance. These features streamline the process of building rich, interactive web experiences.
A significant focus of HTML5 is enhanced semantics and better structural organization of content. New semantic elements like , , , , and \ provide meaningful structure to documents, which aids in search engine optimization (SEO) and improves accessibility for assistive technologies. These elements define different parts of a webpage (e.g., a header for the top, a nav for navigation links, a footer for the bottom), making the code more readable and understandable for both developers and machines. This emphasis on clear structure helps in creating more logical and maintainable websites.
Developing websites in today's competitive environment requires taking advantage of every technique you can to get the maximum exposure possible. Our HTML5 class will not only show you what's new in the HTML specification, but also the best way to develop optimized web pages that get the attention your client and/or company requires.
**The breakdown of the four-class series is as follows:**
**Class 1: Introduction to Web Structure and Basic HTML5**

* **Topics**:
* **CSS Fundamentals**: The role of CSS, selectors, properties, and values.
* **Integrating CSS**: Using inline, internal, and external style sheets.
* **The Box Model**: Understanding margin, padding, border, and content for basic layout.
* **Basic Styling**: Changing colors, fonts, and text alignment.
