**About the Event** Wrap up 2025 with the AWS User Group Hong Kong! We are bringing the energy of Las Vegas straight to Causeway Bay for our annual Year-End Celebration. This isn't your standard news recap. Join us for an “Unpacking re:Invent" where our community leaders and heroes break down what really happened in Vegas. Beyond the official keynote announcements and new service launches, we are diving into the side tracks, the hidden gems, the wildest party experiences, and personal stories from the conference floor. This is the ultimate gathering for every AWS user in Hong Kong to close out the year. Whether you are an architect, developer, or tech enthusiast, come connect with old friends, meet new builders, and toast to the achievements of our local community.

What does it mean to be human in a complex world? This special Curious Souls Cafe features "Seoul Vibe"—a collection of thought-provoking questions **created by our community in Seoul**. These questions aren't about Korea; they're about the universal experiences we all share: the search for purpose, the dance of emotions, the art of connection, and the journey of self-discovery. We'll dive into questions like: * Is purpose something we discover or something we create? * What makes emotional awareness difficult, and how can we improve it? * How do we build relationships that are both fulfilling and authentic? * What shapes our identity, and how does it evolve over time? * How does culture influence our worldview and connections? Join us for a conversation that transcends geography and delves into the heart of what it means to be human. Inviting all Curious Souls who are passionate about: 🌍 Curious about life's big questions 💭 Reflecting on purpose, emotions, and relationships 🗣️ Interested in diverse perspectives and shared human experiences 🤝 Looking for genuine connection and meaningful conversation 🌱 Exploring personal growth and self-understanding 🗓️ Agenda / What You'll Experience 💬 Meaningful Icebreaker Conversation Cards (Round 1) We will begin the session with meaningful conversation cards. You'll have the opportunity to pick a card and initiate thought-provoking conversations with fellow attendees. Note: This 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. 💬 Focused Discussion on a Meaningful Topic (Round 2) Where time allows, after warming up, our diverse group of friends and strangers will come together exchanging ideas on intriguing topics chosen spontaneously. Each participant is encouraged to contribute by sharing a unique question. You’re welcome to bring a question that’s been on your mind, or you can draw inspiration from the icebreaker conversation cards provided. Once all the questions are collected, the group will collaboratively select one to kick off the discussion. From there, we’ll embark on a respectful, engaging, and meaningful conversation, celebrating the diversity of perspectives and ideas within the group. 💬 Final Thoughts and Feedback 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, we 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.

It is an experience definitely worth a try! Sahaja meditation is a simple, time-honored technique. Meditation is based on connecting with the inner chakras (energy centers) and balancing the subtle body. It helps reduce stress and increase health. It brings better focus and helps us to be more focused and balanced. Sahaja Yoga is scientific and verifiable, because each practitioner can also verify the cause of inner imbalance from his or her own central nervous system (Central Nervous System) and improve it through meditation practice. According to the founder Shri Mataji , this meditation will make you feel a deep sense of harmony, allowing the thoughts to enter into a state of tranquility, stability, but complete awakening. Sahaja Yoga Meditation - the gateway to inner peace, joy and enlightenment! Founder Shri Mataji has been spreading sahaja yoga around the world since 1970 to give en-mass self-realization and teach meditation skills, and all yoga classes and lectures are free of charge. Shri Mataji and we all believe that actualizing self-realization is an innate ability and inherent right for everyone, not, and can not be purchased with money or material. We now have numerous practitioners in over 120 countries around the world. Beginners or those who are already practising meditation are welcome to come to learn this Sahaja Yoga meditation, which is unique and different from other meditation methods.Intermediate level classes (Thursdays & Saturdays) welcome those who have participated in 4 or more classes and are interested in exploring more in-depth and deeper meditation knowledge.

It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went? Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence? Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.

Some trained COUNT volunteers work together once a month at RMH (http://www.rmhc-centralohio.org/volunteer.php) as Housewarmers (usually on the 1st Sunday from 1 – 5 PM).
