*"To be rooted is perhaps the most important and least recognized need of the human soul." — Simone Weil* **What is the one thing about you that has stayed the same, even as the world around you has completely changed?** In a world full of strict routines and sudden changes, there is a constant pressure to be adaptable. We are told to adjust quickly and flow like water around obstacles. When life moves so fast, staying unbound is often praised as the ultimate way to live. But the push for an untethered life brings its own quiet challenge. As we try to keep up with our surroundings, how do we avoid losing ourselves in the process? What is the difference between a heavy chain that holds us back, and a reliable anchor that keeps us centered in the storm? Join us at this Curious Souls Cafe gathering to explore the balance between staying adaptable and staying grounded. We will discuss the core values we hold most dear, the daily habits that save our sanity, and how to tell the difference between healthy flexibility and losing our true selves. Bring your stories, a reflective spirit, and an open mind. Let's discover what holds us steady, together. **Inviting all who are...** ⚓ Exploring whether "anchors" are necessary for our well-being, or if they are just heavy baggage 🌊 Balancing the desire to be highly adaptable with the need to protect a quiet, stable core ⚖️ Reflecting on the personal truths that have survived the many phases and transitions of their lives ☕ Seeking a warm, deeply reflective space to talk about what truly matters most 🗣️ Believing that while we are always growing, there is a beautiful stillness at the center of who we are 📅 Agenda / What You'll Experience 💬 Prompted Conversations We will use virtual question cards designed to help people thoughtfully explore the foundations of their identities. Here are some sample questions: * Are "anchors" (like deep attachments to people, places, or routines) necessary to keep us grounded, or do they eventually just hold us back? * How do you tell the difference between gracefully adapting to a new environment and accidentally losing yourself to it? * Think back to who you were ten years ago. What is one core trait or belief that has remained steadily intact? * Have you ever realized that a specific "anchor" you relied on for years was actually just keeping you stuck in place? From there, we’ll embark on a respectful, engaging, and meaningful conversation, celebrating the diversity of perspectives and ideas within the group. Note: This session may involve virtual question cards accessed via a link or QR code. If you do not have a device (phone/tablet) to access these, please ask a facilitator for assistance; we have spare units available. The exact format of the event may change depending on turnout according to [https://curioussouls.cafe/#how-to](https://curioussouls.cafe/#how-to) and other factors. 💬 Final Thoughts and Feedback Where time allows, in the final 10 minutes of the event, we’ll take a moment to reflect on the key insights, memorable moments, and takeaways from our discussions. This is a chance to distill the shared wisdom and leave with a deeper understanding of the topics we’ve explored together. After the event officially concludes, the group may choose to extend the session, depending on the group’s interest. Of course, you’re welcome to leave at any time that feels right for you. An anonymized summary will be shared for sessions where key insights are identified. After the meeting, our facilitators and participants may reflect on the discussion and contribute to a summary or collaborative workbook based on their notes and observations. Additionally, questions may be revisited in future sessions in an anonymized manner.

Join us for an insightful sharing session led by Mr. Richard Lord (Senior Partner, Pangolin), where we will uncover what it really takes for startups to win and deliver successfully when selling to large corporations. In today’s enterprise environment, big corporates require more than an innovative product—they look for strong enterprise-grade technology, a startup company that is ready for the full selling journey, and founders/teams who can present their proposition clearly to the right stakeholders. As deals move from initial evaluation into procurement reviews and ultimately contract negotiations, readiness in all three areas becomes critical to success.

A very unusual choice for his group... Unknown Number: High School Catfish is an American [true crime](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_crime "True crime") documentary film directed by [Skye Borgman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skye_Borgman "Skye Borgman") and released to [streaming](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streaming_media "Streaming media") on [Netflix](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netflix "Netflix") on August 29, 2025. The documentary explores the events and investigation into an unknown person [cyberbully](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberbullying "Cyberbullying") and [harassing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harassment "Harassment") teenagers in [Beal City, Michigan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beal_City,_Michigan "Beal City, Michigan") using an unknown number via insults and sexual claims. It also explores the increasingly great impact of the harassment on the community, the eventual reveal of the culprit, and the trial that followed. IMPORTANT INFO: I strongly suggest not reading anything about it online before seeing it. It's best viewed with no previous knowledge. This documentary contains crude terminology and deals with cyberbullying, which may be a trigger for some folks. PLEASE NOTE - WE ARE STARTING AT 6:30, WHICH IS THIRTY MINUTES EARLIER THAN USUAL. Unfortunately, it is only available on Netflix. If you would like to attend but do not have Netflix, say so and maybe we can figure something out.

It feels like we just saw each other 🤷. Join members of the local design and UX community for our monthly breakfast. For May we’re stopping in for Rooh’s popup breakfast/cafe concept. You know someone is getting the lobster yuzu croissant, and that’s not even the prettiest thing on the menu!.

We’re bringing back Adult Field Day. Last year was a good mix of competition and just hanging out, so we’re doing it again with some new games mixed in. Think team-based challenges, simple races, and a few things inspired by game shows. You don’t need to be athletic. Most of the fun is just being part of a team and getting to know people you wouldn’t normally talk to. The goal isn’t really winning. It’s meeting people, laughing a bit, and leaving knowing a few more names than when you showed up. If you stick around after, we’ll have a potluck, a bonfire, and a couple comedians in the evening. Bring: * Please Bring Something to share for the potluck cookout signup sheet [https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0E49ABA92EA2FAC70-63781787-saturday](https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0E49ABA92EA2FAC70-63781787-saturday) * Clothes you can move around in RSVP on Meetup is free. A small contribution helps keep events sustainable and ensures those who RSVP actually show up. Great events take time, effort, and consistency to organize. Most people contribute $2–5 per event to help keep these going. Appreciate everyone who supports — it genuinely makes a difference. If you find value in these events or maybe even made a new friend, consider contributing what feels fair to you. **Contribution link** listed below in the comments

Practical AI for Power BI Developers A year ago, “agentic AI” was mostly hype for Power BI teams. Today, it deserves your undivided attention. For Power BI pros, there is now a real opportunity to reduce repetitive development work, accelerate delivery, and help developers do more, but only when strong DataOps practices are in place to make AI workflows effective. This session is a no-nonsense introduction to effective AI patterns for Power BI and Fabric development. Along the way, we will make sense of the growing pile of terminology, including skills, plugins, hooks, and MCP. You will see examples of how modern AI tooling can help with development tasks across Power BI and Fabric, along with the prerequisites, guardrails, and DataOps principles needed to use it responsibly. Whether you're burned out on AI hype or already using Copilot CLI daily, this session will show you the foundations that are finally making AI-assisted development genuinely useful.
