The Mental Peace lab
The Mental Peace lab is a weekly meditation class where
you get to tune in to peaceful mental states, which is the core
of Buddhist meditation. Different approaches allow to do this, which
we'll explore together. The class each time consists of a guided meditation, a practical and interactive Buddhist teaching and concludes with a nice collective meditation that draws from this teaching.
After this, for those who wish, tea is served and we can chat :)
The class is taught in English by an experienced meditator and translated sequentially into Greek.
Wearing confortable clothes is advised. Seating is on chairs or on cushions.
There is a suggested donation of 5 EUR which can be paid in cash or by REVOLUT/IRIS.
Hoping to welcome you !

Best Practices For AI Content Creators
Την Κυριακή 21 Ιουνίου 2026, στις 18:30, συναντιόμαστε στο Gazi College Piraeus για ένα meetup αφιερωμένο στο Best Practices For AI Content Creators και στις νέες δεξιότητες που χρειάζονται οι content creators, copywriters, bloggers, marketers και digital professionals στην εποχή της Τεχνητής Νοημοσύνης.
Όλες και όλοι μιλούν για AI content. Όμως το μεγάλο ερώτημα παραμένει: πώς δημιουργούμε περιεχόμενο με τη βοήθεια της Τεχνητής Νοημοσύνης χωρίς να χάνεται η ποιότητα, η αυθεντικότητα, η στρατηγική σκέψη και η ανθρώπινη φωνή μας;
Ήρθε η ώρα να δούμε μαζί τι σημαίνει πραγματικά premium AI content. Όχι βιαστικά prompts. Όχι γενικά κείμενα που μοιάζουν μεταξύ τους. Όχι περιεχόμενο που απλώς γεμίζει σελίδες και feeds. Αλλά περιεχόμενο που έχει σκοπό, δομή, ακρίβεια, προσωπικότητα, SEO αξία, AI visibility και πραγματική χρησιμότητα για τον άνθρωπο που το διαβάζει.
Στο meetup θα εξερευνήσουμε μαζί:
* Πώς χρησιμοποιούμε το AI ως συνεργάτη σκέψης και όχι ως αυτόματο αντικαταστάτη.
* Ποια είναι τα βασικά best practices για να δημιουργούμε premium AI-assisted content.
* Πώς προστατεύουμε τη δική μας φωνή, εμπειρία και επαγγελματική ταυτότητα μέσα σε AI-generated περιεχόμενο.
* Πώς συνδέονται το AI, το SEO, το AEO, το GEO και τα LLMs με τη νέα πραγματικότητα της ψηφιακής ορατότητας.
* Πώς μπορούμε να κάνουμε ένα AI κείμενο πιο καθαρό, πιο αξιόπιστο, πιο ανθρώπινο και πιο χρήσιμο.
* Ποια λάθη κάνουν συχνά οι creators όταν χρησιμοποιούν AI εργαλεία για blogs, newsletters, social media και websites.
* Πώς χτίζουμε περιεχόμενο που μπορεί να διαβαστεί, να κατανοηθεί και να προταθεί τόσο από ανθρώπους όσο και από AI συστήματα.
* Αν χρησιμοποιείς ήδη AI εργαλεία αλλά νιώθεις ότι το αποτέλεσμα χρειάζεται περισσότερη ποιότητα, προσωπικότητα και στρατηγική, αυτό το meetup είναι για σένα.
* Αν θέλεις να καταλάβεις τι σημαίνουν στην πράξη όροι όπως AEO, GEO, LLM Optimization, AI Visibility και AI Agents για τη δουλειά σου, αυτό το meetup είναι για σένα.
**Αν θέλεις να δημιουργείς περιεχόμενο που δεν ακούγεται πρόχειρο, γενικό ή άψυχο, αλλά έχει επαγγελματική αξία και ανθρώπινη παρουσία, τότε έλα στην παρέα μας.**
* Ημερομηνία: Κυριακή 21 Ιουνίου 2026
* Ώρα: 18:30
* Τοποθεσία: Gazi College Piraeus
* Θεματική: Best Practices For Premium AI Content
* Γλώσσα: Ελληνικά
* Δωρεάν συμμετοχή – κράτηση απαραίτητη!
* Οι θέσεις είναι περιορισμένες – κράτησε τη δική σου εγκαίρως.

Έχουμε ήδη εκπαιδεύσει πάνω από **3.150 γυναίκες** σε όλα τα σύγχρονα εργαλεία του digital κόσμου, και συνεχίζουμε με έμπνευση, φροντίδα και ομαδικότητα. Σε περιμένουμε να μοιραστούμε εμπειρίες, απορίες και έμπνευση, πάντα με καφέ, φιλική διάθεση και ουσιαστικό επαγγελματικό networking!

Athens Singles Relational Lab — Facilitated Connection Experience
Tired of dating apps or surface-level social events?
This is different.
Relational Labs is a guided connection experience for singles who want more honest, playful, emotionally intelligent interaction — without performance, pressure, or endless small talk.
This is not speed dating.
Not networking.
Not “pitch yourself to strangers.”
It’s a facilitated relational container rooted in psychology, emotional intelligence, attachment work, social dynamics, nervous system awareness, and real-world human connection — made practical enough that you can actually live it instead of reading another 50 books about it.
## What happens
• A 2-hour guided online relational experience
• Real-time connection exercises designed to create authentic interaction
• A format that adapts in real time to whoever is present
• Optional participant-led in-person continuation afterward
• WhatsApp connection thread after the session
## This may be for you if:
• You’re tired of shallow or repetitive social spaces
• You want deeper connection without forced intimacy
• You enjoy personal growth, psychology, communication, or relational work
• You’re open to meeting people in a more intentional way
## Important
This experience runs with whoever is present and takes its own shape each time.
Sometimes expansive.
Sometimes intimate.
Both are the real thing.
Booking happens through our website.
👉 Reserve your spot:
[https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join](https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join)
Optional in-person continuation: same day or within 48 hours depending on the city
Most people come alone.
People often leave surprised by how quickly strangers can feel human, warm, honest, and real.
Sometimes awkwardness turns into ease.
Sometimes curiosity turns into chemistry.
Sometimes people simply remember what it feels like to actually connect again.

Day Course : Love Without Pain
Join us for a special day course on Saturday 20/6 with visiting meditation teacher James Longridge.
In ordinary life, we tend to confuse love with desirous attachment, and as a result we often experience pain and disappointment within our so-called ‘loving’ relationships. But authentic love can never cause pain. It only ever produces happiness !
During the 4 sessions of this day course, James will take into us in the heart of the practice known as developing cherishing love.
This practiced Buddhist wisdom, explained through talks and meditation, has the potential to truly liberate us
from dysfunctional patterns in our relationships and bring us into deeper and deeper experiences of mental peace.
There will be the opportunity for Q&A throughout the day.
The suggested donation for the day course is 20 EUR, or 5 per session.
For maximum benefit, it is encouraged to attend the whole day course
The schedule of the day, along with information on booking can be found on
https://athensmeditation.mmm.page/lovewithoutpain
Hope to see you there !

Free In-Person Meeting: Get Over Losses & Betrayals, Build Lasting Relationships
This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships.
Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse.
Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well.
Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship.
Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action?
Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships!
Break free from self imposed limitations
Here we will discuss:
• How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes.
• Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you?
• Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it?
• Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love?
• Fights & arguments - what's really behind them?
• What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others?
• How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change?
• Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them?
• How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about?
• How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career?
Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general.
Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person.
Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life.
We look forward to having you join us!
This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
Stop Guessing: A Product Person's Guide to AI Adoption
## 🤝 Host Information
A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus
💡 About the Workshop
AI adoption is stalling across organizations — 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 — no guesswork required.
🛠️ 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!)
🍕 Logistics & Perks
Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided!
Parking: Plenty of free spaces available on-site.
###
Recruiting Virtual Mental Health Group Leaders!
We are recruiting new group leaders for virtual men's groups! Our primary groups are outdoor movement groups, but we are launching virtual groups for the state of Ohio and beyond and the groups will move outside in the spring, creating room for men's groups, women's groups and coed groups all over the country.
Read below to learn about our groups and click the links at the bottom to apply.
### **What is an Outdoor Empowerment Group?**
Our Outdoor Movement & Community Empowerment Groups are simple, guided experiences designed to help people reconnect with nature, themselves, and others. We combine some form of movement (hike, walk, run, bike, yoga, workout) and meaningful conversation within a simple community circle to create a space where individuals can support each other while prioritizing mental and physical well-being.
Whether you’re seeking stress relief, personal growth, or community, our groups offer everyone a unique and welcoming environment.
## **Why Join?**
* **Improve Mental & Physical Well-Being** – Movement, nature, and supportive conversations reduce stress and promote balance.
* **Feel Less Alone** – Build genuine connections with like-minded people in a safe, welcoming space.
* **Gain Clarity & Perspective** – Step outside daily routines and into a space designed for personal growth and reflection.
## **The Ideal Group Leader**
The ideal group leader
* Has a born-in passion for mental health, movement, connecting with nature and building community.
* Has 5 extra hours per week to dedicate to a meaningful cause for at least one year. Yes, you can leave any organization at any time and we can also ask you to leave, but we are building with legacy in mind and we need people who can commit and be ALL IN on this mission to build with us.
* Is independently financially stable with the ability to volunteer with no expectation of pay. This is a deeply beautiful journey of service that all participants commit to at Speak Your Mind.
* An ability to manage groups with high emotional intelligence and desire for human connection.
* An ability to self-motivate and market/promote their group on Facebook and other social platforms.
* Nature informed therapy or clinical therapists/psychologists a plus.
## **Our Impact**

Since launching, we have helped thousands find support, connection, and healing through our Outdoor Movement Groups. 100% of participants surveyed have reported:
* A noticeable improvement in mental clarity and emotional well-being.
* An increase in social connection and a sense of belonging.
* Said they would return again.
We believe mental health should be accessible, community-driven, and rooted in nature. Join us and take the first step toward a more connected, grounded, and supported version of yourself.
### **Why Our Groups are Donation-Based**
Our Outdoor Movement Groups are made possible through a donation-based model. This approach allows us to keep our events accessible to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances, while also ensuring that we can continue expanding our reach. It’s a great way to pay it forward and support the growth of this beautiful mission!
Every contribution helps us:
* **Cover Essential Costs** – Donations allow us to pay essential legal, marketing, insurance, and admin costs as well as nourish the important people who run the organization.
* **Grow Our Mission** – With your support, we can bring these healing experiences to thousands more people in the future and execute our long term plan to expand across the USA, affecting up to 500,000 people per year.
By choosing to contribute, you’re not just leading an event—you’re helping build a mental health movement that supports long-term well-being and connection for all during a severe mental health epidemic.
## **Come Join Us!**
We’d love to have you be part of this growing community of people prioritizing their mental health, movement, and connection.

**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, we’ll 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. We’ll 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. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options.
