*"There is a voice that doesn’t use words. Listen." — Rumi* **What is one small, everyday decision you make purely based on a 'gut feeling' rather than logic?** From a young age, we are introduced to the fast-paced rhythm of modern life. We are taught to focus on efficiency, productivity, and meeting the non-stop demands of a highly driven, always-on culture. Often, we navigate these well-trodden paths—juggling the constant demands of our careers and the expectations of those around us—until we realize we might feel a bit disconnected from our personal center. Finding our internal compass is about pausing to check our alignment. It takes quiet courage to establish healthy boundaries, manage our energy, and gently prioritize personal well-being amidst daily busyness. However, in a culture that rightly values logic and hard work, or when we are simply prone to over-thinking, tuning into that compass can be tricky. It can be difficult to tell the difference between a genuine gut feeling and simple anxiety, or to know if we are protecting our peace versus just avoiding vulnerability. Join us at this Curious Souls Cafe gathering to explore the gentle journey of self-discovery and calibration. We will discuss how to find our own pace within a high-speed world, how to distinguish true intuition from everyday stress, and how we can build lives that feel deeply authentic while still honoring our responsibilities. Bring your stories, a reflective spirit, and an open mind. Let's discover the groundedness and clarity that comes when we navigate life with a well-calibrated compass. **Inviting those who...** 🧭 Wish to gently explore how to align their daily habits and career goals with their core personal values. 🧠 Sometimes struggle with over-thinking, and want to practice telling the difference between a genuine gut feeling and everyday stress. ⚖️ Want a warm space to discuss the delicate balance between being a reliable, responsible person and protecting their own personal time. 🌱 Seek to balance the rigorous demands of a hyper-connected world with the quiet, restorative practices that bring them genuine joy. 🗣️ Hope to connect with kindred spirits who are also learning to manage the noise of modern life while staying grounded and true to themselves. **📅 Agenda / What You'll Experience** 💬 Prompted Conversations We will use virtual question cards designed to help people thoughtfully explore the foundations of their personal values. Here are some sample questions: * What is a common productivity standard or hustle-culture habit that you’ve gently decided to soften to better protect your peace? * When you find yourself over-thinking or trying to 'calculate' the perfect decision, how do you get back in touch with your gut feeling? * What is the difference between your gut pointing away from something because it's a genuinely bad idea, versus pointing away simply because you are nervous to try it? * What is a common productivity standard or hustle-culture habit that you’ve gently decided to soften to better protect your peace? * Instead of trying to optimize every minute, what is one area of your routine where you happily allow yourself to just be perfectly, unproductively human? From there, we’ll embark on a respectful, engaging, and meaningful conversation, celebrating the diversity of perspectives and ideas within the group. Note: This session 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. The exact format of the event may change depending on turnout according to [https://curioussouls.cafe/#how-to](https://curioussouls.cafe/#how-to) and other factors. 💬 Final Thoughts and Feedback Where time allows, 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, the group 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.

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. **YouTube Link** TBD
