Improvisation - An Introduction to Status! **[CLICK HERE TO BOOK](https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/applied-improvisation-an-introduction-to-status-tickets-1983156873594)** This two-hour practical workshop offers a focused introduction to status as articulated by Keith Johnstone, one of the most influential figures in modern improvisation and theatre training. Status, in Johnstone’s framework, is not about social class or fixed hierarchy. It is the constantly shifting set of behavioural signals—physical, vocal and psychological—that shape relationships moment by moment. In this session, participants will explore how status transactions operate beneath everyday interactions, influencing confidence, tension, humour, authority and connection. Through structured exercises, you will investigate how subtle changes in posture, eye contact, tempo, gesture and language alter perceived status. Designed for everyone interested in human interaction, the workshop combines experiential practice with concise analytical reflection. Expect a relaxed atmosphere, plenty of laughter, and practical takeaways. If you’re curious, open-minded, and up for trying something different, you’ll fit right in. **No experience needed. Just bring yourself.** **COST:** £15.00 (inclusive of Eventbrite Booking Fee) **[CLICK HERE TO BOOK](https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/applied-improvisation-an-introduction-to-status-tickets-1983156873594)** **VENUE:** Old Diorama Arts Centre, 201 Drummond Street, Regent's Place, London, NW1 3FE **NEAREST STATIONS**: Warren Street, Euston Square, Great Portland Street This session will be led by **Dave Bourn** founder of Sprout Ideas who teaches improvisation, devising, and creativity at University & Drama Schools.

You’re 'busy' but you know a stupid amount of your time is disappearing into your phone. You unlock it without thinking and lose **30-60 minutes** to scrolling. You tell yourself **'one more video'** and suddenly it’s past midnight. You’re switched on all day, but your **focus feels fried** and the things that actually matter get pushed to “tomorrow” again. This workshop is for men who are **done with that** and want a clear, realistic way to take their time and focus back. **Who this is for** * **Founders, professionals, tech/finance guys, ambitious students** * Men who are doing “fine” on paper but know their **phone use is getting out of hand** * Anyone who looks at their screen‑time report and thinks: **“That’s getting ridiculous.”** **What you’ll get in 90 minutes:** We’ll go straight to work. By the end of the session you will: * **Audit your current phone use** Identify the exact apps and times of day that are quietly stealing your time and attention. * **Design your personal 30‑day phone rules** Simple, realistic rules you can actually keep (no monk‑mode, no throwing your phone in the river). * **Set up a basic “Dopamine Operating System”** How to change notifications, home‑screen layout, and habits so **discipline becomes easier than distraction.** * **Leave with a written 30‑day plan** You’ll walk out with a **one‑page plan** to start the next day, not just “motivation.” ### **Format** * **Location:** Central London (details in the event info) * **Duration:** \~90 minutes * **Style:** Short talk, live exercises, Q&A * **Bring:** Your phone, your screen‑time, and something to write with At the end I’ll share how you can join a small **30‑Day Dopamine Reset** group for men who want accountability, daily check‑ins, and a **win‑your‑money‑back** challenge on cutting wasted screen‑time. ### **Who this is NOT for** * Men who think their phone use is “fine” and just want to argue * Anyone looking for generic productivity tips instead of actually changing habits If you’re in London, you’re serious about your life, and you’re tired of wasting evenings on your phone, **grab a spot and show up ready to work.** Tickets are £10. If you decide to join the 30‑Day Dopamine Reset afterwards, your £10 comes off the fee.

Description: Join us for an enlightening lecture that delves into the intricate web of the past and its potential to cast a long shadow over our present lives. In this thought-provoking session, we will explore the profound ways in which the past can negatively impact our well-being, choices, and personal growth. Throughout history, human lives have been shaped by a multitude of experiences, both positive and negative. These experiences accumulate, leaving imprints on our memories and shaping our beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors. While the past holds valuable lessons and cherished memories, it can also harbor unresolved conflicts, traumas, and limitations that subtly influence our present reality. During this lecture, we will navigate the labyrinth of psychological and emotional baggage that may accumulate over time, inhibiting our personal development and impeding our ability to lead fulfilling lives. By examining the effects of the past on various aspects of our existence, we will gain a deeper understanding of how it can manifest in detrimental ways. Through engaging discussions, case studies, and real-life examples, we will explore the following topics: 1. The Power of Unresolved Trauma: We will delve into the profound impact of unresolved traumatic experiences and how they can subtly shape our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. By shedding light on the intricate mechanisms behind these effects, we can begin to dismantle their hold on our lives. 2. Inherited Baggage: Examining the intergenerational transmission of pain, beliefs, and patterns of behavior, we will explore how our ancestors' experiences can unconsciously influence our lives. By recognizing and addressing this inherited baggage, we can break free from destructive cycles and chart our own path. 3. Limiting Beliefs and Self-Sabotage: Uncovering the deeply ingrained beliefs and narratives that stem from past experiences, we will explore how they can become self-fulfilling prophecies, stifling our potential and sabotaging our aspirations. By challenging these beliefs, we can reclaim our personal power and reshape our narratives. 4. Breaking Free: Strategies for Healing and Transformation: This segment will offer practical tools and techniques for healing past wounds, releasing emotional burdens, and cultivating resilience. We will explore approaches such as therapy, mindfulness, self-reflection, and forgiveness to facilitate the process of letting go and embracing personal growth. By the end of this lecture, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the profound influence the past can exert on their lives and how to break free from its negative impact. Armed with newfound knowledge and practical insights, they will be empowered to embark on a transformative journey towards self-discovery, healing, and the creation of a brighter future. Note: This lecture is open to all individuals seeking personal growth and a deeper understanding of the psychological and emotional factors that shape their lives. No prior knowledge or experience is required, only an open mind and a willingness to explore the depths of the past.

Disguised as the perfect candidate to try and snag a position in a company where they can espionage away! Recruitment is the first point of contact for all candidates so in this talk I will go over how I recognise fraudulent candidates without descending into unfounded bias. I’ll go over some recent examples and give some practical guidance of what you can do if you are not sure that the person opposite you is who they say they are. **"Vesta Admin Takeover - Exploiting reduced seed entropy in bash $RANDOM" - Adrian Tiron** Vesta is a lightweight, web-based control panel that simplifies Linux server management, appealing to users seeking an intuitive alternative to traditional platforms like cPanel and Plesk. This presentation will examine a critical flaw in Vesta: an admin takeover exploit resulting from reduced seed entropy in the Bash $RANDOM variable. By transforming what was once a theoretical attack into a practical one, we successfully reduced the brute force domain of the seed by over 98%. This allows attackers to generate predictable random values, compromising the security of passwords and tokens. We will discuss the implications of this vulnerability and highlight best practices for enhancing server security in real-world applications. **"Securing AI Agents: Identity Strategies for Safe API Access"** **\- Gary Archer** As organizations adopt AI-driven tools and workflows, new security challenges arise around how AI agents securely access APIs. In this session, Gary explores how best practices for connecting AI agents to APIs are evolving, and outlines the essential identity and security building blocks organizations should put in place for the emerging AI era. The talk focuses on architectural principles and patterns rather than specific vendors or products. **SPEAKERS:** **Mariya Hristova** A People and Talent Leader who has been building tech teams across large orgs and startups for 10 years. An enthusiastic amateur in all things tech, but with a personal crusade to help improve UX and UI in open source tools. If we want to usher in the year of the penguin, we have to pay attention to that stuff! In my spare time I like to break HR Tech or volunteer my time and knowledge to help companies and candidates/employees meet each other in right way. **Adrian Tiron** Adrian Tiron is a Co-Founder & Principal Pentester/Red Teamer at FORTBRIDGE with 20 years of experience in cybersecurity. He has a proven track record of success working with top companies in the UK, US, and Europe.

Join us for ‘This Precious Human Life,’ a meaningful one-day retreat (in-person or online) inspired by the profound teachings contained in the Four Revolutions in Outlook (also known as the Four Thoughts that Turn the Mind). We’ll explore meditations, contemplations and teachings on the rarity and preciousness of our human existence, and on the transient nature of life (impermanence). There will also be discussions on the reality of our suffering (duhkha) and actions and their consequences (karma). Through reflection and practice, this day aims to deepen your appreciation of the preciousness of your life and the opportunities you have, and inspire a powerful boost for authentic Dharma practice. Everyone is welcome to attend this day retreat, particularly those exploring the Buddhist path, whether for the first time or as a seasoned practitioner. These themes are regarded as indispensable in all schools of Tibetan Buddhism and are taught as the common, outer preliminaries for more advanced practice. **About our London Day Retreats** These Buddhist meditation day retreats, which can be attended online or in-person, offer the opportunity to discover what meditation and Buddhist mind training can do for mental well-being and to meet and share with like-minded people.

Communication is everything in life You are only as successful as your ability to communicate. \- What if you could confidently talk to anyone? \- What if you had the ability to calmly control every conversation? \- What if you could close that sale\, ask for that date\, make new friends\, repair problematic relationships\, get that raise\, or effortlessly express any idea with confidence? You can! The secret to success relies on your ability or inability to effectively communicate. Attend a free seminar and gain a better ability to communicate.

Join us for this free, in person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships. Do you want more motivation and confidence to build lasting relationships? Are you burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival, while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. We look forward to having you join us! This class is held at the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

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
