đș Agentic Coding Meetup â Devs & Drinks
No slides. No speaker. No agenda. Just developers talking shop over a cold one.
This is an informal gathering for engineers, founders, and builders who are deep in the agentic coding trenches â using tools like Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code, OpenCode, or rolling their own agent pipelines. Come swap what's actually working, what blew up in production, and what you're excited about right now.
We'll be at Barcelona, and the format is simple: show up, grab a drink, and share what you know. Bring a laptop if you want to show something, but it's not required.

**What we talk about (but not limited to):**
\*Agentic coding workflows and tooling

* AI-native product building
\*What's broken in the ecosystem and how you're working around it
**Who should come:** Developers, technical founders, and AI engineers who build with (or on top of) LLMs. All levels welcome â senior devs with war stories and curious beginners both make the conversation better.
**Format:** Open conversation, round-table style. Everyone teaches, everyone learns.

Meditation in a Conversation - Practice Presence with Yourself & Others
**Insight Circling âš**
What if **being with others** could become a path to **deeper connection**, **clarity**, and **inner knowing**?
**Insight Circling** is a **relational mindfulness practice** in the form of a conversation. It is an invitation to connect more deeply with yourself and others, and to explore what happens in the present moment as we relate together.
We practice noticing, without judgement, what is happening **within us and between us** right now.
This may include observing:
âš Sensations in the body
âš Emotions as they arise
âš Thoughts and inner narratives
âš The subtle dynamics of connection with others
By becoming more aware of our present-moment experience, we begin to understand ourselves more fully, lead ourselves more wisely, and cultivate trust in our own inner knowing.
**What weâll do** đ±
Each session begins with gentle exercises that help us arrive, settle, and connect.
Together we gradually develop our capacity to:
đ Be present with what is
đ Listen deeply to ourselves
đ Listen deeply to others
đ Speak from authentic experience
đ Stay connected in real-time relationship
**This practice can support you to đ**
âš Connect more deeply with your emotions
âš Feel more at ease and aligned in body and mind
âš Receive inspiration and fresh insight
âš Strengthen intuition and decision-making
âš Improve relationships and connect more deeply with others
âš Become unstuck in different areas of life and take meaningful action
**Why I love this practice đ**
I spent many years meditating, but when I discovered this practice it felt like a revelation â a missing piece.
It helped me become aware of how I relate to others, how I create my life, and how presence can transform connection.
**About the practice đ**
This practice is inspired by **Circling**.
Further information here:
**[https://www.transformationalconnection.com/](https://www.transformationalconnection.com/)**
Join us on this beautiful journey of discovering ourselves.
**Good to know đ**
âš No previous experience is necessary
âš This event will be held in **English**
âš Offered by **voluntary** **donation**
âš Places are limited
Please RSVP here **and** message me on WhatsApp to confirm your place:

**Please read đ**
We begin on time, and the session builds from the opening practices, so late arrivals wonât be able to join once weâve started.
By signing up, you agree to respect the confidentiality of all participants and not share personal information outside the group.
I may occasionally take photos to share here. If youâd prefer not to appear, just let me know beforehand.
If you have any questions, please donât hesitate to contact me.
**About me đ**
I am a qualified **Transformational & Career Coach**, trained in London in 2016.
My own journey has included changing both career and country in order to live more in tune with who I truly am. I bring that lived experience into my work.
Iâm passionate about helping people connect deeply to themselves, uncover their creativity, and bring their gifts into the world through meaningful work.
I have practiced meditation for over **20 years**, and spent **5 years** living and helping facilitate a retreat centre on a tiny island in Scotland, established by a Tibetan Buddhist monastery â one of the pioneers of mindfulness in the UK.
I believe meditation and mindfulness are powerful tools for gaining clarity, focus, and the space to listen deeply within.
They have certainly helped me a great deal.

đSkills-Based Hiring in Practice: How to Hire for Capability, Not Just CVs
## **Details**
**LUMA REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED TO ATTEND:** https://luma.com/wox7xulo
đ Hiring is changing. Are you?
For years, recruitment has been built around CVs, job titles and years of experience. But letâs be honest: the best talent is not always the one with the âperfectâ background on paper.
Thatâs why the next Talented People session by Talent-R is all about: **HR & Recruitment: Skills-Based Hiring in Practice: How to Hire for Capability, Not Just CVs**
Weâll dive into how companies can identify real potential, assess capabilities and build hiring processes that go beyond traditional filters. Because great hiring is not about collecting impressive CVs. Itâs about finding people who can actually do, grow and make an impact.
Expect honest conversations, practical insights and real experiences from people who live recruitment from the inside. And, of course, great food, drinks and the Talent-R vibe. đ§Ą

đ¶đ„ŸđŽ Platja d'Aro - Kayak & Hiking/Senderismo en la Costa Brava
đ„Ÿđ¶ A refreshing Costa Brava day combining sea kayaking, snorkeling, hidden coves, coastal views and a relaxed beach vibe.
đ„Ÿđ¶ *Un dĂa refrescante en la Costa Brava combinando kayak de mar, snorkel, calas escondidas, vistas costeras y un ambiente relajado de playa.*
**[CASTELLANO + ABAJO —ïž]**
đ¶ **The Plan**
Join us for a refreshing day on the Costa Brava, where weâll explore the coastline of Platja dâAro from both the sea and the land.
Weâll start the day with a guided kayak activity along a beautiful stretch of coast, paddling through turquoise waters, rocky passages and hidden coves surrounded by cliffs and Mediterranean forest. During the activity, weâll also have time to stop for a swim and enjoy some snorkeling in crystal-clear waters.
After the kayak, weâll have some free time to relax, change clothes, eat something or enjoy the beach at our own rhythm.
Later, weâll continue the day with an easy hike along a section of the CamĂ de Ronda, one of the most beautiful coastal paths of the Costa Brava. Weâll enjoy sea views, pass through tunnels carved into the rock, discover small coves and if we have time, reach the Torre Colomina, an old coastal defense tower built in the 15th century to protect the area from pirate attacks.
And during the hike, if you prefer to slow down and just relax on the beach, thatâs totally fine too. You can stop walking at any moment, enjoy the sea and the sun, and weâll meet you again on the way back. The main goal is simple: have a great day together!
To finish the day, weâll leave some time for a relaxed drink by the sea before heading back to Barcelona.

Empezaremos el dĂa con una actividad guiada de kayak por uno de los tramos mĂĄs bonitos de la costa, remando por aguas turquesas, pasos entre rocas y calas escondidas rodeadas de acantilados y bosque mediterrĂĄneo.

Después del kayak, tendremos un rato libre para relajarnos, cambiarnos, comer algo o simplemente disfrutar de la playa a nuestro ritmo.

"Metal Slinger" by Rachel Schneider
Join us as we discuss our June pick: Metal Slinger by Rachel Schneider!
Book description:
Even though she's not one of them, Brynn has spent her life among the Alaha, training to be a guard and waiting for the chance to attend the annual market hosted by the Kentaâthe very same people who exiled her adopted community to a life at sea. Going to the market is a rite of passage eagerly anticipated by all young guards, but Brynn does not anticipate breaking a century-long peace treaty while there. Nor does she plan for the intense encounter with an enemy soldier that now threatens to unwind the fragile coexistence between their peopleâand everything Brynn once believed about herself to be true.
Brynn's loyalty to the Alaha is tested when the truth of her identity is brought to light by this soldier who's taken an oath to bring her back to where she belongs. Narrowly escaping death on the violent high seas, Brynn's connection to the Alaha is further tested when she learns about the world of magic she's been denied. She was once certain of her fate and where she belonged, but the dark, knowing eyes of this stranger have her questioning everything, including her heart.
Packed with knife fights and seafaring adventure, METAL SLINGER is the smash-hit start to the romantic fantasy duology, the Fire & Metal series
