The Organize of the Event; Francisco and Matilda
Co-ordenator Master: Robeiro Queiroz.
All the activities realized through CECAB are designated to execution of social responsibility projects, further on the sportive, cultural and artistic activities through the realization of the shows, presentations and events related to Capoeira and Brazilian culture.
Meet up, Warm up, and Get Moving to Get Fit :)
We will start the session with some light stretching exercises to warm us up, and help to prepare us for the run. The pace of the run will be steady, depending on who is running with us on the day.
Days when we have a large group we may break into multiple groups, each operating independently at their own pace.
Saturdays are good for intermediate runners, and is usually a 10km run, again at a steady pace.
If you're looking to get into running, come along on Tuesday or Thursday mornings and I will coach you, at your pace, to get you up to running (jogging) to 5km without stops. The only thing I will ask, if you're a beginner, is that you're able to walk for approx 30 minutes at a relaxed pace.
PLEASE NOTE: That, if you RSVP a particular event, then please ensure that you attend, as there may be other members relying on you for company on the run.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Any run or activity that you participate in with the group will be at your own risk.
Usually we have a post run (after our cool down) coffee in the Dash container at the Hole in the Wall pub.
Social Drawing
We are organizing this event for people that want to explore their creativity and practice expressing themselves through drawing.
The event contains a variety of small games and exercises to connect with others in a fun and original way.
A lot of times we find ourselves stuck with a problem or thought, either consciously or unconsciously. Being able to draw or doodle about it can often help. When I felt stuck in life, it gave me a lot of inspiration to draw how I felt. It was always a creative and refreshing way of structuring my problem and looking at it from a different perspective. I’m now looking forward to practicing more of this.
I will bring paper and pens, that we need for the exercises. Feel free to bring your own drawing tools (colors, sketchbooks, pencils, etc.).
No drawing experience is required

Let's go to: Outdoor Yoga + Coffee in Dun Laoghaire
Want to go to Sunday morning outdoor yoga but don't want to go solo? Let's go together and grab a coffee afterwards!
It's been a loooooong winter but spring seems to have finally sprung so it's time to get back out there for the first Yoga Social event of 2026!
Tabhair Aire is an outdoor yoga event in the beautiful surroundings of the Dun Laoghaire baths overlooking the sea. The event is free of charge but you must secure a spot via the link in their bio [@tabhairaire.ie](http://@tabhairaire.ie).
**PLEASE NOTE:** I am not affiliated with the organisers of the Tabhair Aire event. This is simply a social MeetUp for people who want to attend as part of a group and then grab a coffee together afterwards.

About *Yoga Social*:
Love yoga but wish it was a bit more… social? You’re in the right place.
Yoga Social is for people who enjoy yoga and want to meet others who do too. We’re not running classes ourselves — instead, we’re getting like-minded people together to try out different studios, styles, and events together (with coffee and chats afterwards of course).
Whether you’re into hot yoga, slow flow, or just here for the savasana, come join us as we check out new classes, explore wellness spots and events around town, and make some new friends along the way. Sometimes we'll mix it up with the occasional brunch, walk, sauna, sound bath, or whatever else looks like fun.
Open to all levels, all backgrounds, and anyone who is looking for some yoga buddies!

Mountain Skills 1 Course
***Mountain Skills for Only €120 / course***
Ever wanted to learn the skills you need to become a competent navigator in the Irish mountains, the UK, the Alps or beyond!
As a fully qualified mountain guide and course provider for Mountaineering Ireland and the UK, I run Mountain Skills which is a nationally accredited course and is delivered in an upland environment.
Hiking in Ireland can be challenging not only because of its wilderness, but the island has very little sign posted hiking trails in the mountains or hills. In addition to this, as being an island in the Atlantic we experience the forces of nature; storms and weather events. In other words, Ireland is probably the best place in Europe to learn a new outdoor skill like Mountain Skills.
The aim of this course is to help you learn the skills you need to get out hiking in the hills and mountains independently, safely and responsibly. You will learn how to navigate with confidence by any type of weather conditions.
A Mountain Skills course is run over 2 days in an upland environment and covers:
Map reading, map description, map scale, contour lines, land and ground features, navigation legs, simple navigation techniques, setting the map, the 5 D, estimation of direction & destination, grid reference, mountain hazards, hypothermia, mountain environment, timing, pacing, route planning, route card, emergency procedures, personal equipment, safe movement skills, river crossing and much more…
Some level of fitness is essential in taking part in this course.
Each course (MS1 / MS2) is a 20 hour syllabus which includes indoor and outdoor sessions and night navigation (MS2)
**A course includes:**
Maps and compass provided, tea breaks, course notes, 3 route cards, a free hiking day practice as part of a weekend.
**For Only €100 for under 18 and students and €120 for adults.**
Accommodations can be provided
Her are few additionnal dates:
Jan 24-25 MS2 Glenmalure, Co.Wicklow
Feb 11-12 MS1 Comeragh, Co.Waterford
March 21-22 Glenmalure, Co. Wicklow
March 28-29 Glenmalure, Co.Wicklow
April MS1 18-19 Glenmalure, Co,Wickow

https://www.underwater-society.org/page/show/4284471-usoa-registration
To find us:
You can tell the front desk that you are here for underwater hockey and they will let you in for free. You can ask them for help finding the pool.
If no one is at the front desk just walk past it and there will be a set of stairs on the left. Take the stairs and take a right at the bottom of the stairs. The men's and women's locker rooms are straight ahead, and you will need to go through them to access the pool deck. Once you are out on the pool deck you will be exactly where we practice.
Agenda:
First 15 minutes: Arrival at the pool, getting gear from the shared gear bin, dividing into two teams, getting gear on.
Minutes 15-30: Getting in the water, teaching any new players the basics

Hacking the Stack: Using OpenSearch Dashboards as an Application Framework
**Agenda:**

* 6:30-7:15 pm: Announcements and presentation
* 7:15 pm-7:30 pm: Q&A and close-out
**Hacking the Stack: Using OpenSearch Dashboards as an Application Framework**
Most developers treat OpenSearch Dashboards (OSD) strictly as a visualization layer—a place for charts and graphs. They are missing the bigger picture. OSD is a powerful, untapped environment for full-stack application development. In this session, we peel back the architecture of **an enterprise-grade risk, compliance, and security platform built entirely *on top of* OSD**. We moved beyond simple plugins and pushed OSD to its limits to create a seamless, interactive application experience.
Join us for a deep dive into the engineering reality of the OpenSearch stack, including:
* **The Analysis:** Why the OpenSearch stack beat out the competition.
* **The Build,** **Beyond Visualization:** How to implement custom React components to build complex workflows and interactive UIs within OSD.
* **The Integrations:** Integrating Wazuh for agent management and ingesting data at scale.
* **The “Gotchas”:** Honest, real-world lessons on data handling, state management, and what to look out for.
**If you are ready to push your plugins from “reporting tools” to “robust software,” do not miss this session!**
