These group harmony singing and vocal exploration sessions are for anyone who is longing to connect to themselves and others through the voice in service to a more loving world. These 5 weekly Thursday night sessions which run from 30 Apr to 28 May, are all about freeing your voice, singing in harmony and feeling part of a community of warm, friendly people. We will continue till 2 July, so you can also enrol on another 5 week set after this one if you feel inspired to keep going! Over the course of these sessions we will explore together what it is like to cultivate a sense of **being enough (with less effort)**. This is a radical rejection of the ideology of self-improvement, productivity, speed, talent, growth and individualism which we are surrounded by. When we sing, we work intimately with worries around what we sound like, whether the sounds we are making are acceptable, whether we are ‘doing it right’ and ultimately whether we are enough. As we notice these thoughts and feelings, we can invite the ease with which we were born to return. We also work intimately with liberation of our breath and body. > In these sessions you will be invited to become more aware of opportunities to try less, let go more and you will learn about how to support your voice through diaphragmatic breathing and somatic connection. Humans have gathered to use their voices as tools for healing, prayer, divination, plant communication, echoes of topography, expressions of identity, creators of harmony and much more but music and singing have been reduced largely to entertainment and big business in modern capitalist culture. In these sessions we **reclaim our voices as technologies of connection and enchantment**. Singing is not for the few, it is our birthright and a means to better health and wellbeing. We will experience beauty not only in the aesthetics of our voices but in their authenticity and capacity to connect us. We do not have to sound or look beautiful to *be* beautiful as we are all miraculous beings simply by existing. Singing is one of the most powerful tools to connect and bond human beings so as we sing together, you will experience a sense of being held in a container of human sound, a balm for the soul. You may even experience a sense of ‘interbeing’, a deep sense of interconnectedness and non-duality. Contrary to what we are told, us humans are not on this Earth to compete with and dominate each other. > We are all leaves of the same tree, cells of the same organism, stewards of the same Earth. This course will also be rooted in what we can **learn from Indigenous and traditional cultures and from living systems (nature)**. We will sing songs which connect us to our ancestral lineages and to the Earth. We will musically explore and celebrate concepts from the Global South such as Ubuntu (a set of related African value systems emphasising interconnectedness) and Buen Vivir (a Latin American concept describing living well as sustainably living in harmony within a community including humans and nature) as well as those from closer to home such as ‘*Dinnseanchas’, meaning* lore and knowledge of place and ‘d*úchas’* (heritage and wildness, a sense of where you come from, to whom and to where you belong). This course is open to all, regardless of how you sound and previous experience. The Facilitator: Rachel is a song leader with a background in ethnomusicology and has spent time with many communities around the world facilitating and researching music making, Rachel is also an educator and uses music and singing as a tool for for learning and changemaking in the areas of wellbeing, diversity, sustainability, social justice and community building community. ##### **Booking & Pricing:** 5 week course €140 - €90 sliding scale Info and sign ups: https://fullcirclechange.ie/event/rooted-together-in-harmony/

Search is one of those things that *feels* simple — until you're the one building it. Why does `$regex` fall apart at scale? How do you handle typos, relevance, and performance all at once? And what happens when users search by *meaning*, not just keywords? Join the **Dublin MongoDB User Group** for an evening dedicated entirely to **Search** — from the foundations of Apache Lucene, to building production-grade search experiences with MongoDB Atlas Search, to the frontier of Semantic Search with vector embeddings. We'll also have a real-world use case walkthrough from someone who's been in the trenches solving search problems for customers. And yes, you can walk away with an 🎖️ **Search Fundamentals Skill Badge** 🎖️ which you can share on your LinkedIn profile. No laptop needed, just your phone! *** **🛠️ What we're covering:** **The "Why" — Search is Hard** A practical look at why developers struggle with search: fuzzy matching, relevance scoring, tokenisation, and why regex just doesn't cut it. **The "Story" — A Real Use Case** Hear from a practitioner who's helped customers go from "this search is broken" to "this actually works." Less Lucene textbook, more honest problem-solving. **The "How" — Atlas Search Deep Dive** We'll go under the hood on how Atlas Search (built on Apache Lucene) works, and show you how to wire it up in your own applications. **The "Future" — Semantic Search** Beyond keywords — how vector embeddings and semantic search let your application understand what users *mean*, not just what they *type*. *** **📅 Agenda (6:00 PM – 09:00 PM)** * **6:00 – 7:00 PM \| Networking & Pizza 🍕** * **7:00 – 7:30 PM \| Search 101: How Search Actually Works** From text indexing to Lucene — the fundamentals every developer should know. * **7:30 – 8:00 PM \| Real\-World Search Use Cases** What does bad search look like? What does great search look like? Stories from the field. * **8:00 – 8:30 PM \| From Generic Search to Atlas Search & Semantic Search** How MongoDB Atlas Search brings it all together — and where vector embeddings take you next. * **8:30 – 09:00 PM \| Search Fundamentals Skill Badge 🎖️ \| Open Discussion & Networking** *** See you there! 🎯

OpenClaw is having a moment. A personal AI agent that runs on your own machine, talks to you and actually gets things done. **NOTE: Registration needs to be completed here: [giveago.co/register/openclaw-1](https://giveago.co/register/openclaw-1)** It runs on your own machine - a Mac Mini, a Raspberry Pi, a VPS - and actually does things: runs commands, browses the web, manages files, talks to your apps. You reach it through WhatsApp, Telegram, or whatever chat app you already use. It works in the background, remembers context between sessions, and connects to whatever AI model you prefer. No engineering background required. If you can install an app and follow a guide, you can do this. We're running this as part of a three-event OpenClaw series this June, with this being the first. The following events build on the setup and focus on getting productive with the agent and applying it to real work use cases. **NOTE: Registration needs to be completed here: [giveago.co/register/openclaw-1](https://giveago.co/register/openclaw-1)** We'll be working through it together at Baseline, tables of people at different stages, helping each other along. Fresh install or halfway there, there's a spot for you. The goal is simple: leave with OpenClaw alive. Connected to WhatsApp or Telegram. With a personality you've written. Doing at least one real thing. What we'll work through together: * Getting OpenClaw set up (locally or hosted) * Connect to a messaging app: WhatsApp or Telegram * Picking the best model for the job * Writing a SOUL.md: giving your agent a personality that's actually yours * Setting up a MEMORY.md layer * Connecting one real skill before the day is out **NOTE: Registration needs to be completed here: [giveago.co/register/openclaw-1](https://giveago.co/register/openclaw-1)** Prep materials will be sent in advance. Come ready, or come from zero. Both are fine. Bring a laptop. That's it. Run of show: 11:00 Doors open, coffee 11:30 Intro and setup overview 12:00 Build time 13:00 Lunch 13:45 Back to building 15:30 Share what you've got running 16:00 Close **NOTE: Registration needs to be completed here: [giveago.co/register/openclaw-1](https://giveago.co/register/openclaw-1)** \-\-\- ​**Community** [Give(a)Go](https://giveago.co/?utm_source=luma) is a Dublin-based builder community running hands-on events for ambitious people who make things. 30+ events. 1,000+ attendees.

📚 Pride Month is a chance to come together around stories that feel lived-in, complicated, and real, and this discussion invites us to sit with those voices rather than just skim them. Its roots go back to the Stonewall Riots, and since then Pride literature has grown into a bold, varied body of work—from Giovanni’s Room to A single man and Normal People, each capturing different shades of love and identity. As we read, the aim isn’t just analysis but conversation—what resonates, what challenges us, and what these stories say about how people find themselves and each other. Let's grab a drink (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) and discuss books on pride —whether poetry, fiction, or non-fiction. Bring your physical book or e-reader. There's no formal structure or agenda—just books and good conversation.💬 It's a perfect place to get book recommendations and rediscover your reading momentum if you've hit a slump. We welcome readers of all backgrounds and interests! ⚠️**Something Happened?** If something unpleasant happened to you, it may happen to others. Even if it seems minor, don't hesitate to reach out to me. 🔍 **How to find us?** * When I reach the venue, I'll leave a comment in the meetup where the group is seated. Normally, the booking is in my name, so you can ask the staff for the group. * If you're unable to find us, leave a comment in the meetup page. I'll be able to guide you. We highly encourage you to move between tables and strike up conversations with fellow book lovers. These discussions about literature and reading recommendations are often the highlight of the event! As an organizer, I'm always looking for feedback about the event and suggestions for new events, so feel free to suggest ideas to me. 💡 I look forward to seeing you all! 😊

**Talk Description** If you've ever wondered why pip install numpy and conda install numpy aren't the same thing, you've bumped into one of Python packaging's oldest fault lines. Conda and PyPI evolved to solve different problems, one for compiled scientific libraries, one for pure-Python code, and the gap between them has caused headaches ever since. We'll look at why the split happened, what's fundamentally different under the hood, and how the two ecosystems are starting to come together. **Agenda:** 7:00pm - Opening announcements 7:10pm - Bridging conda and PyPI ecosystems 7:50pm - Q&A
