Netflix Watch Party Social Event At XP Tavern
Do you want to relax and socialize in a quiet bar while watching some movies or tv series together? Do you dislike loud and smelly places like pubs? Have you been cooped up by yourself for too long and wants a change of pace? This is the event for you.
Join us for a laid-back Netflix watch party at XP Tavern— perfect setup with big screens, solid sound, and plenty of space to spread out. The bar has Netflix, Amazon Prime, Now TV, Youtube Prime etc. Expect good vibes, cold drinks, bar food, maybe some discussions during breaks, and zero pressure to stay quiet — react, laugh, scream, all welcome.
How many people are attending? The venue has a capacity limit of 50 guests, and due to the popularity of our events and the unique ambiance of the location, we anticipate this event will reach full capacity quickly. On the day of the event, you will experience a relaxing atmosphere with a hospitable and encouraging community. Feel free to come with friends or by yourself. Most people come alone and make new friends at the event.
When we arrive in the first hour, we will socialize, get some drinks and talk about what movies/tv series we love. Afterwards we will vote on which show to watch for each group. Then we will settle into the watch booths and enjoy a cinematic experience for the rest of the evening.
If you want to socialize and get drinks, the event is free. If you want to participate and watch with the group, you gotta pay £12 per two hours.

F\*ck the Small Talk has travelled the world across Berlin, Mexico City, Melbourne, Lisbon, Medellin, Vienna, and now back to London for its 3rd year in a row! 😎
**📦 WHAT'S THIS ABOUT?**
FTST is a **one-of-a-kind social experience** where strangers come together for an afternoon of meaningful, fun, and deep conversation. It’s also a different & cool way of meeting new people by getting a bit out of your comfort zone and skipping the small talk!
Join us for **games**, **talks**, and **connections** with **friends you haven’t met yet**. Join if you get annoyed after being asked what you do, where you are from, and how long you've been in London every single time you meet someone. If you feel that there are better questions in life, this is the place for you. 🙌
**📓 HOW DOES IT WORK?**
We start with a short & sweet intro talk followed by a few light-hearted group games to warm up. After that, we split you up into small groups and start with the conversation rounds (with 3-4 people). We'll have awesome question cards that will guide the flow of the conversation. You’ll never have to speak in public if you don’t want to.
**📣 NOTE**: We won't validate your payment unless you've been accepted! (which you most likely will ❤️)
**🕹 HOW TO JOIN?**
**[Take 1 minute to sign up 👈](https://luma.com/london4ftst)**

**💛 WHAT THEY SAY**
🗣 “This is the kind of activity humanity needs every weekend. Thank you for all.” - Sonya
🗣 “F\*ck the Small Talk changes the narrative from "Where are you from?" to "When was the last time you laughed uncontrollably?" and I think that's beautiful.” - Monika
🗣 “I loved F\*ck the small talk, I was a little bit nervous at first but they are pros at making you feel comfortable with the rest of the group, the activities are really fun and I enjoyed every second (consider that the one who's saying this is very, very shy). Give it a try!” - Brenda
🗣 “Lively, interesting, introspective, completely open, and no judgment. Everyone that joined was ready for great conversation and helped with different perspectives. So much fun! I can't wait for the next one! “ - Yaz

🤓 FAQ
**• Can I come alone?**
Of course, in fact, we encourage it!
**• Can I be late?**
Please don't! "Doors" open at 11:45am and we start at exactly 12:00pm! Late arrivals will disrupt the floooooooow.
**• I signed up but never got an invite. Why?**
We usually get a high volume of sign-ups yet we like to keep it cozy & only invite around 25 people. We believe this is a good number to ensure an awesome experience, and we’ve learned that it’s easier to build connections with smaller groups! Please try again next time if do not receive an invite - no hard feelings 💛
**• Why do you charge?**
We value our time and put a lot of love, planning, and effort into creating & designing these experiences. 💛 This is our project/business and what we give to the world and we think everything should be a fair exchange! 🎈 However, money should never be the reason for people not to attend. If you can’t afford it simply get in touch with us :)
**• I'm digging this! Can I get involved somehow?**
Sure thing, send us a message!
**• Can I bring my pet (llama)?**
100% yes (depends on the venue, ask us!)

#### **Your Host \| Founder of MYNDtopia**
**Sadiq Hussain (@coachsadiq)** is an experienced Performance Coach & Trainer, TEDx Speaker, Retreat Host and Purpose-Driven Community Builder. An expert in mental fitness and high-performance, Sadiq has transformed from a shy soul into a charismatic servant leader. His mission is to touch 33 million hearts, inspiring others to find their purpose through the philosophy of **Conscious Human Ascensions.**
**Hey Legends! :)**
Are you tired of fitness and exercise being just about burning calories, diets, boring workout or tough weight training sessions? Are you looking for a movement practice that feels as good for your brain as it does for your body..?
Our Founder, Sadiq knows exactly how that feels, as he's been on a creative, fun and explorational movement journey for over 9 yrs now. He started with bodyweight training, then moving into calisthentics and animal flow primal moves over the years of his practice.
In a world of static gym machines and digital distraction, the ultimate competitive advantage is **Mobility + Mindful Presence.**
Join ***MYNDtopia*** for a primal immersion designed for founders, high-performers and conscious souls who want to bridge the gap between physical peak performance and spiritual evolution.
This isn’t just a "workout" session. It’s a **Conscious Infrastructure** for your body. We are gathering a curated tribe to explore the intersection of ground-based movement and the science of human optimisation and peak, high performance.
#### **The Experience**
**Primal flow state \~** We begin with a mindful warmup, followed by an **Animal Flow** session \~ a bodyweight movement system designed to improve mobility, strength and neuromuscular communication. No equipment, just your own biology
**The ascension talk \~** A deep-dive discussion on **Physical Health & Human Optimisation.** We move beyond "getting fit" and explore how to use your body as a vessel for higher consciousness
**Community open forum \~** This is a safe space for "Deep-Soul Masterminding." Share your health challenges, ask questions and offer insights. No small talk \~ just real solutions for real growth
**High-vibration networking \~** Connect with others who value longevity, biohacking, and intentional living. Build relationships based on shared values, not just job titles
####
#### **Who Is This For?**
**Founders & Leaders \~** who need to de-stress their nervous systems and regain mobility lost to "desk culture"
**Longevity Lovers** \~ those looking to upgrade their physical "hardware" through mindful movement
**Conscious Movers \~** people who believe that physical mastery is a non-negotiable priority for spiritual ascension
**The Ambitious & Aware \~** anyone seeking a tribe that values deep work and authentic health over surface-level aesthetics
###
#### **Why Attend?**
In a city of 4 million, finding a "tribe" that prioritises both high performance and deep mindfulness can be rare. MYNDtopia filters for **quality, integrity and consciousness** so you don't have to :)
**You'll leave with:**
**1) A New Movement Language \~** Foundations of Animal Flow to use in your daily routine
**2) Biological Clarity \~** Practical tools for physical ascension + human optimisation
**3) Genuine Connections \~** 3–5 high-level collaborators who align with your health vision
**Dress Code:** Move-ready / Athletic-wear (Consciously comfortable & respectful)
***FEEL FREE TO BRING YOUR OWN WATER BOTTLES + YOGA MATS :)***
***HOT DRINKS, WATER + LIGHT HEALTHY REFRESHMENTS WILL BE PROVIDED...***
**Note:** Spaces are strictly limited to ensure intimacy and high-quality facilitation. We would kindly recommend you secure your space/ticket so you DON'T miss it, because once their sold out, we cannot allow anyone else in... ***ALL TICKET PROFITS GO BACK INTO FUNDING THE NEXT EVENTS :)*** (limited + rare events in London)
***"Your body is a masterpiece \~ movement is the prayer. It’s time to optimise it to peak performance, so you can find true fulfilment."***

Check in for Survivors of Narcissistic Abuse - Online
A calm, low-key space to pause, breathe, and reconnect with yourself alongside others who understand.
The **Queen’s Rise Circle Survivor Check-In** is a gentle, bi-weekly gathering created for women healing from narcissistic, emotionally harmful, or difficult relationships.
This is not therapy or a formal workshop. It is a supportive community space where survivors can come exactly as they are. Some weeks you may want to share. Other weeks you may simply listen. Both are welcome here.
Together, we focus on small steps forward, emotional grounding, and rebuilding confidence in a safe and respectful environment.
This space is survivor-led and trauma-aware, grounded in empathy, respect, and confidentiality.
### Who this is for
This check-in is suitable for anyone who:
• Is healing after a narcissistic or toxic relationship
• Feels emotionally overwhelmed or isolated
• Wants connection without pressure or judgement
• Is looking for consistent, gentle support between workshops or coaching
You do **not** need to be at a particular stage of healing to attend.
### What this space is not
• Not group therapy or crisis support
• Not a place for advice-giving or fixing others
• Not a space for confrontation or debate
It is simply a supportive circle for reflection, encouragement, and community.
### What to bring
Just yourself. Tea, notebooks, and comfortable energy encouraged.
There is no requirement to share if you are not ready. You are welcome to listen, reflect, and simply be present. This is not therapy, but a peer-support space rooted in compassion, safety, and respect.
Come as you are. Cameras optional. You are not behind, broken, or failing. You are healing.

Lesbian Book Club (Women Only)
**One quick note on how the community works**
**L Community is member-funded.**
The standard contribution is **£13 per month** to cover the platform, events, moderation, and safeguarding.
If £13 isn’t workable for you right now, you can opt out for now.
Support can be changed or cancelled at any time.
Support the platform:
[www.thelcommunity.com/back-us-now](http://www.thelcommunity.com/back-us-now)
**What this is**
A relaxed Sunday afternoon book club for lesbian and bisexual women, meeting in person.
This is our first event and we will discuss which book we plan to read. It’s low-pressure, calm, and easy to settle into the event.
Women usually range from their 20s through to their 60s. Most sessions are a genuine mix of new faces and returning women, so you won’t be the only person coming for the first time.
Most people come on their own. That’s normal here, and we make sure you don’t feel it. Hosts introduce people, keep things flowing, and make the space feel easy rather than awkward.
If you’re feeling nervous, you won’t be the only one. Many women feel that way before their first book club and end up staying longer than they expected.
**Important**
This is a female-only lesbian space.
That boundary is clear and upheld at events.
If that doesn’t work for you, this won’t be the right event.
**How to attend**
You must register in advance to attend.
Register here: [www.thelcommunity.com/book-club/](https://thelcommunity.com/book-club/)
**Arriving and support**
The table booking is under the name Jenny. If you’re nervous, arriving alone, can’t find us, or have any difficulty at all, you can message at any point – days before, on the day, or during the event.
If it helps, we can have someone come outside to meet you.
**WhatsApp Jenny**
WhatsApp only (calls or messages): **+44 7591 386019**
Normal calls or texts will not go through on this number.
**Staying connected**
Registering for an event is separate from joining the wider community.
If you’d like to stay connected between events, access the private WhatsApp group, and join the wider network, you can register here:

Connected Westerville Night of Networking!
**Connected Westerville Night of Networking** *April Edition: The Introduction Economy*
You've been to the networking events. You've done the small talk. Collected the cards. Forgotten the names. And walked out feeling like you just wasted two hours of your life.
The problem isn't you. It's the format.
Most networking events put you in a room and tell you to figure it out. So everyone defaults to elevator pitches and business talk, and nothing real gets built.
Here's the truth about networking that most people miss: Your network isn't just who you know. It's who thinks of you when they're talking to someone else.
*That's* The Introduction Economy. And it only works when relationships are real.
There's a reason people who come once keep coming back. It starts with seven minutes that feel nothing like networking.
Then we open it up. Free networking. More conversations. More momentum.
This is a room full of corporate professionals, entrepreneurs, business owners, creatives, and career builders in the Westerville and Columbus area. The mix is the magic.
You might never do business with everyone you meet tonight. But someone in this room will think of *you.* **By name**. So, the next time someone needs exactly what you do, you get the recommendation.
**April 14th. RSVP now.**
**When:** Tuesday\, April 14th \| 6:15 PM \-\- 8:00 PM **Where:** Vineyard Community Center \| 6000 Cooper Rd\, Westerville\, OH 43081
What If Your AI Could Be a Team? - Chad Green
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? 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.

**Why Global Azure?**
Global Azure is a worldwide community event where Azure user groups host learning sessions on the same day across the globe. It’s grassroots. It’s technical. It’s practical. And it’s powered by people who genuinely love sharing what they’ve learned.

Prompt vs. Paintbrush
AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s?
This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation?
We encourage audience participation during this event that will be moderated by Chris Slee.
Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.
