Spiritual Somatic training is a power tool that supports you in resolving the many different traumas that we carry inside and also all around us. It gives us the opportunity to realize our true potential to overcome anything, by tapping into secret vibration and frequencies that are transformational. It is a therapeutic approach that focuses on the connection between the mind and body. It emphasizes the importance of bodily sensations and experiences in the healing process. It's an energetic meditation, followed by our silent guided meditation. Regulating the Nervous System: Trauma often leads to dysregulation of the nervous system, resulting in feelings of anxiety or hyperarousal. The rhythmic movement of somatic vibration can help calm the nervous system, promoting a sense of safety and relaxation. We also combine Somatic Energy training with sitting healing and guided silent meditation. The intention is finding inner peace that supports the mind, body and spirit and gives a sense of connection to God, nature and Self. Somatic Healing unlocks the secrets of the Self, as we let go of what we don’t need, and encourage the overall Self to realize its full potential. **Who should attend:** * Anyone experiencing stress, anxiety, or burnout * Professionals seeking better work-life balance * Individuals interested in mindfulness and self-care * Anyone looking to improve their mental or emotional wellbeing * This event is suitable for both beginners seeking an introduction to somatic meditation and seasoned practitioners looking to deepen awareness **What to expect:** * Expert advice on meditation and mindfulness techniques * Movement "Somatic" meditation, accompanied by Somatic techniques * 11-minute silent guided meditation * Practical stress-reduction strategies * Tools for emotional regulation and mental clarity * Supportive community and open discussion **Event Details:** * 🕉️ *Divine Representation and Teacher:* SHREE MAHARANI JI * 👤 *Facilitators:* MICHAEL BERNARD COX & DR FRANCIS VALLOOR * 📍 *Location:* Inter Faith Centre, DCU Glasnevin Campus, Collins Ave Ext, Glasnevin, Dublin 9, D09 WPA0. -> Map/Directions: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/ab797JPgrn6zQaK86](https://maps.app.goo.gl/ab797JPgrn6zQaK86) * 📅 *Date & Time:* Tuesday 21st April 2026 - 7:30pm * 🎟️ *Non-ticketed event:* Recommended donation: €10 **Why attend:** * Leave feeling lighter, more grounded, and connected, with practical tools you can use anytime to manage stress, release anxiety, and bring more peace into your daily life. **Contact/Connect:** * ✆ Contact: via private message or comments section through the Maha Ji Yoga Meditation Meetup page * Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mahajiyogameditation/ * Join our spiritual community on Telegram: [https://t.me/+3gi2S-OgptRjOWM8](https://t.me/+3gi2S-OgptRjOWM8)

Join us for the very first meetup of the Datadog Dublin User Group, with networking and talks from experienced practitioners! **🏠 18:00 - Arrival: Networking, Drinks & Snacks (40 min.)** Meet and greet your peers, grab food and drink **📆 18:40 - Introduction** **🎙️ Speaker:** Anatoly Mikhaylov, Principal Engineer at Zendesk, Datadog Ambassador **Description:** User group kick off followed by very successful customer story. Anatoly will share real life examples how Datadog supports Zendesk. He will share how valuable Datadog is to support multi-billion enterprise for over a decade, how it evolved and what problems it helps to solve. From an observability tool it became incident detection and prevention tool, database reliability powerhouse and it helped to shape how we deploy changes to production with confidence. **📆 19:00 - Powering Platform Engineering through Datadog** **🎙️ Speaker:** Marcel Drechsler, Product Owner @ andsafe **Description:** In the rapidly changing landscape of Platform Engineering, Datadog has evolved from a monitoring tool into a comprehensive foundation for Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs). This session explores the journey of scaling observability and security into a unified platform strategy that reduces developer friction. We will dive into how Datadog’s expanding ecosystem provides the essential building blocks for modern self-service infrastructure. Attendees will learn how to leverage these integrated features to build a more resilient and transparent developer experience. Discover how to transform your Datadog instance into a strategic asset for your platform’s success. **📆 19:40 - Pay for What You Use, Use What You Pay For: Frugal Architecture with Datadog Cloud Costs** **🎙️ Speaker:** Apostolis Apostolidis, Lead Archirect @ Flipdish, Datadog Ambassador **Description:** We've all seen that Slack message. Someone senior forwards the monthly cloud bill with a single line: "Can someone take a look at this? Why has it spiked so much?" Nobody knows. Even worse, nobody owns it. And that's exactly the issue. At Flipdish, we fixed that by bringing cloud and SaaS cost data into Datadog: the same tool our engineers already use for logs, metrics and traces. Now spend wasn't a finance report. It was a dashboard any engineer could pull up, attribute to a service, and act on like any other signal. In this talk, I'll share what we found when we actually looked, how we embed cost awareness into architecture reviews and incident response, and why AI workloads are making this discipline urgent, where a single runaway prompt can spike your bill overnight in a way no latency alert would catch. If you can alert on a p99 spike, you can alert on a cost spike. Same signal. Different dimension. **📆 20:20 - To be announced** **🎙️ Speaker: To be announced** **Description: To be announced**

This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise. We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration. Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team. **YouTube Link** TBD

A WiA Collective Wisdom Exchange At the start of this year, we gathered to look back, set intentions, and imagine the next chapter. This is the follow-up. Not a check-in. Not a progress report. A small, facilitated circle to reconnect with what you said mattered — and honestly explore what’s actually happening now. Together, we’ll explore: • What you intended at the start of this year - and what that looks like three months in • What’s surprised you, supported you, or shifted • What the next chapter needs now that you know what you know If you were at our January gathering, bring whatever you made or wrote — your word, your artifact, your intention. We’ll look at it with fresh eyes. If this is your first time, you belong here too. You’ll start where we all started: with what’s true right now. Optional art materials will be available for anyone who wants to reflect creatively alongside conversation. If you brought something home from January, you’re warmly invited to bring it back. The intention is the same as always: everyone leaves feeling more clear, more connected, and a little lighter. Space is intentionally limited to keep the experience intimate. What to Expect • A small, welcoming circle (not a large meetup) • Structured conversation so everyone has space to speak • Reflection, listening, and lived experience — not advice-giving • Optional creative reflection alongside conversation • A calm, supportive environment Who This Is For Women and underrepresented folks working in or around agile, product, technology, leadership, or organizational change — especially those looking for honest conversation and community beyond frameworks and buzzwords. Good to Know • No preparation required • If you attended in January, we invite you to bring anything you created or wrote (or something that represents your intention at the start of the year) - it’s optional but invited • Participation is invitational; listening is always welcome • Creative activities are optional
