**Join us for a grounded, body-centered journey into Authentic Relating — where presence, sensation, and self-awareness guide our connections.** Communication extends far beyond speaking and listening. It is a dynamic interplay of verbal and nonverbal expression that shapes how we experience one another. Facial expressions, tone of voice, posture, gestures, and eye contact all influence how messages are received and interpreted. These subtle cues often reveal emotions, attitudes, and intentions — deeply impacting trust, safety, and connection. Embodiment cannot be understood purely on a conceptual level. It is something we experience. Through guided Authentic Relating practices, we will reconnect with our bodies and deepen our awareness of what is happening within us moment to moment. We will practice noticing and expressing our physical sensations and lived experiences in real time — building language for what we feel in our bodies and learning how to communicate it with clarity and authenticity. This immersive experience will include music and movement to support exploration of energy, presence, and connection. Participants will be invited to tune into their senses, engage physically, and allow music to guide expression and relational awareness. **Theme:** Energy + Movement **Recommended Attire:** Comfortable clothing and shoes that allow for ease of movement. Mike is a certified Authentic Relating facilitator through ART International. He has been facilitating Authentic Relating and Nonviolent Communication practices for several years and is passionate about creating meaningful, transformative connections. He looks forward to guiding you through exercises designed to positively impact your relationships and your life.

# 🔐 Secure the Vibe: AI-Generated Code, CVEs & OWASP Risks AI-assisted development (“vibe coding”) is changing how we build — but it’s also introducing new vulnerabilities, risky dependencies, and overlooked attack surfaces. If AI writes the code… who reviews the security? Two security professionals will break down the real risks behind AI-generated applications and how to mitigate them before they reach production. *** ## 🧠 What We’ll Cover **1:00 PM – 2:00 PM \| Live Walkthrough & Demo** * Real-time AI code generation * Identifying vulnerabilities in generated output * How CVEs and insecure dependencies propagate * OWASP Top 10 risks in AI-assisted builds * Prompt injection, secret leakage, hallucinated APIs **2:00 PM – 2:30 PM \| Interactive Q&A** * Audience code review discussion * Mitigation strategies * Guardrails for secure AI workflows *** ## 🎯 Who Should Attend * Developers using AI coding tools * DevOps & Cloud engineers * Security professionals * Anyone shipping AI-assisted software AI accelerates delivery. Secure engineering prevents disaster. Let’s make sure we’re doing both. 🥨 Light bites and refreshments provided. Bring a laptop if you’d like to follow along.

Hey Poetry Lovers! This group is on a roll. Here’s the gist: We meet at the **Capital One Café in Chinatown** from **12pm - 2pm** every other week. For enrichment, we start by reading and reflecting on a **“published poem”**, suggested by someone in the group. No advance preparation is necessary. But feel free to check out some of the poems we’ve read [here](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vSyE_wCLQCPHRrKmN5F9tOIeeRQUZESxjRXGVBoCF2uU8Gm0_d0uECiCBCQXEy6ksxfsBOhtRIOpW3T/pubhtml?gid=0&single=true&widget=true&headers=false%22%3E%3C/iframe%3E). Or submit suggestions for future meetings [here](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSexGc2Z2Kp6bZW0D3_hfJ7NUUkfNHf7TXX-43FglCeBd9EF2Q/viewform?usp=send_form). Next, we **share our work and offer feedback**. Depending on attendance, everyone gets \~10 minutes to use as they like. (No need to share, though; you’re welcome to come even if you prefer just to listen.) We maintain a **Discord server** to help share our work and communicate outside our bi-weekly meet-ups. If you haven’t used Discord before, take a moment to download it and create an account before arriving. When we meet you on Saturday, we will add you to our server, the “DC Poetry Workshop”, and can help you navigate the app if you have questions. Finally, if you plan on sharing a poem, consider how you will do so. Some options include: * Print 5-10 copies to distribute in person * Take and share screenshots in the Discord chat. * Copy the poem into a google doc, change sharing settings to “anyone with link”, and copy the google doc link into the Discord chat. Most importantly, we’re excited to meet you! Catch you on Saturday, Diego / Ian / Cayden / Nate / Otasha / Lia / An

Join us for a Saturday afternoon of bouldering followed by food/drinks nearby the gym! We will meet at 2pm at the Movement Crystal City bouldering area and climb until approximately 4pm.

There is validated parking in the garage under the Whole Foods, or it’s a mere 8 minute walk from the gym. So come cheer each other onto the bouldering wall, talk in a circle sitting on the mat, and hangout with your fellow climbers outside the gym! \#\# Requirements * If you are not a Movement member, you'll get a daily pass. If you don't have the equipments you can rent them in the gym. * Please sign the waiver through: [https://movementgyms.com/waiver/](https://movementgyms.com/waiver/) All skill levels are welcome!

In this session, we’ll explore how GitHub Spec-Kit enables teams to treat specifications as first-class artifacts—living documents that drive architecture, implementation, and verification. You’ll learn how Spec-Kit helps teams clearly express intent using structured, version-controlled specs that live alongside code. We’ll walk through a practical workflow that starts with defining system behavior and constraints, then progressively refines those specs into testable, automatable outcomes. Along the way, we’ll show how specs can reduce ambiguity, improve cross-functional collaboration, and make design decisions explicit before a single line of production code is written. This talk will cover: --What spec-driven development is (and what it isn’t) --How GitHub Spec-Kit fits into modern developer workflows --Using specs to align product, engineering, and AI-assisted development --Real-world examples of turning specs into implementations with confidence Whether you’re building greenfield systems, integrating AI into your stack, or trying to reduce costly rework, spec-driven development offers a scalable way to move faster without sacrificing clarity. Attendees will leave with concrete patterns and a clear mental model for adopting GitHub Spec-Kit in their own projects. **YouTube Link** TBA
