The Red Tent - Empowering Circle
**The Red Tent – an Empowering Circle for Women and Non-binary**
*”Do you miss an opportunity to share your experiences, memories and desires as a woman in a safe circle?”*
**IMPORTANT**: Spots are limited, please make sure to reserve yours! If you are not on the list, you will be kindly asked to leave.
If you repeatedly register without showing up and cancelling in good time for someone else to participate instead, the host may choose to remove you from future events, so as to ensure fair access to the group.
In our weekly Monday meetings, we will explore them together through somatic practices, dance, singing, painting, writing, discussing and lecturing.
The 7x times workshop series will culminate in a voluntary exhibition of our own right at Lapinlahden Lähde.
This is an open group, but to get the full experience, it is recommended to attend the entire workshop series.
We follow the principles of safe space and no discrimination of any kind is accepted at the event.

Workshop "Navigating the Future of Agile Work"
Work life is changing fast — and Agile Coaches are right at the center of that transformation.
Transformation is made by people. So let’s not talk about AI for a moment, and refocus on the most important asset we have: *us*.
Artificial intelligence and hybrid work are reshaping how we collaborate. While they bring many benefits, they can also fragment shared thinking and make it harder to build a common understanding.
In this interactive workshop, you’ll get hands-on experience with the **Epics©-method**, developed by Epicmeets. The method helps combine different modes of thinking, spark creativity, strengthen collaboration, and turn ideas into real action.
**What you’ll gain:**
Practical experience with the Epics© method.
New ways to build shared understanding in teams
Fresh perspectives through meaningful conversations with peers.
Insights into how the Agile Coach role is evolving — and how to prepare for it.
This is not just a session to listen — it’s an engaging, collaborative experience where you’ll learn by doing and by sharing.
*Join us and be part of the conversation shaping the future of Agile work!*
**About our facilitators**

She specializes in tearing down organizational silos and fostering trust-based, cross-functional collaboration where traditional fixes fail.

**About Epicmeets**
Epicmeets empowers people to collaborate authentically, equally, and with tangible outcomes. The Epics©-method and tools make it possible.
We’ll be hosted by **Epicmeets** on their premises. Remember to thank them for inviting us to meet at their location!
**About the Coaching Circles**
Our monthly Coaching Circles are a safe and collaborative space for all members of the community and participants of the events to share their experiences, tools and more. We gather every month, to explore a different topic. The event follows the [Agile Finland's Code of Conduct](https://www.agile.fi/about/code-of-conduct/).
[Avoimet Ovet] Kehitä vuorovaikutustaitojasi Stadin Sanasepissä
**Haluatko oppia puhumaan selkeämmin, itsevarmemmin – ja vähän vähemmällä jännityksellä?**
**Stadin Sanasepät** on suomenkielinen puhe- ja esiintymistaitojen treenikenttä, jossa opitaan puhumalla – ei istumalla passiivisena luennoilla. Meillä esiintytään, mokaillaan, pitchataan ja kehitytään turvallisessa ja kannustavassa ilmapiirissä.
Tämä on hyvä paikka, jos haluat esimerkiksi:
– saada itsevarmuutta esiintymiseen
– sanoittaa omaa ajatustasi napakammin
– treenata tulevaa työpaikan esitystä varten
– kehittyä palautteen antajana (ja vastaanottajana!)
– tai vaan oppia puhumaan ihmisille niin, että ne kuuntelee
Saat oman mentorin, pääsyn kansainväliseen Toastmasters-materiaaliin – ja ennen kaikkea porukan, joka tsemppaa ja kulkee mukana.
Vieraileminen on maksutonta eikä ennakkoilmoittautumista tarvita. Tule testaamaan, miltä tuntuu puhua yleisön edessä. Ei tarvitse olla valmis – kunhan haluat oppia.

Badminton at Tali
Hello sporty population!
Join us for badminton and meet people from around the world! Everyone is welcome, whether you’re a beginner or already experienced.
**IMPORTANT**: Spots are limited, so please reserve yours in advance. Only registered participants can join to ensure fair access for everyone. If you mark “going” but do not attend, or fail to cancel at least 1 day before(By 9pm Saturday), you may be suspended from the next two sessions.
📍 Location: Talihalli Huopalahti
⏰ Time: 11:00–12:30
🏸 Courts: 9, 10, and 11
You can meet us at the entrance a little before 11:00 or come directly to the courts (**please do not enter before our booking starts**).
Who can join?
• Open to everyone, regardless of background or gender
• No badminton skills needed – beginners are welcome
• **Age limit: 16+**
Event is free, but please bring your rackets and indoor shoes, or you can borrow a racket from the hall for free if needed.
We are committed to making our events and activities accessible to those who need them most. Therefore, **individuals with a refugee background are welcome to attend free of charge without prior registration.** If you plan to join, simply send a message to Alaa to let us know you’re coming.
This approach is intentional. Many refugees and newcomers face practical, cultural, and psychological barriers that can make formal registration difficult or discouraging. By removing this requirement, we aim to create a more inclusive, low-threshold environment where participation feels safe, simple, and welcoming.
Our events are designed to support the mental health and well-being of refugees and immigrants, while also encouraging dialogue that challenges cross-cultural stigmas and stereotypes. We believe open access is an important step in building trust, increasing participation, and creating meaningful connections across communities.
After badminton, we'll enjoy Talihalli's sauna and maybe go to a local restaurant to grab some lunch after the game.
Warm welcome!

island of Seurasaari. Through calm observation and gentle connection
with the forest atmosphere, slow down, unwind, and sharpen your
senses.

Step out of everyday busyness and into a more present, embodied
experience of nature. Practice selected ForestMind exercises and
include optional moments of shared reflection in a safe, supportive
space.
These gentle exercises invite you to open your senses, cultivate a
feeling of calm and refreshment, and practice being fully present in the
moment. Some invitations focus on noticing and kindly accepting your
own thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations.
The method, developed in Finland by Mrs. Sirpa Arvonen, combines
researched nature-based health effects with simple mind-skill practices
and is suitable for everyone, regardless of age, fitness level, or previous
experience. Leave the forest feeling grounded, refreshed, and more
connected to yourself and your surroundings.

Full Circle
Full Circle is a community of practice where mental health and wellbeing professionals come together to learn, share, and grow.
If you’re a mental health or wellbeing practitioner who thrives on shared wisdom and community, Full Circle offers a space where you can connect, grow, and bring fresh insights back into your client work.
**Full Circle is for professionals who work with clients in mental health or wellbeing** (e.g. psychotherapists, counsellors, art therapists, coaches, and others integrating mind–body approaches) .
A community of practice is a space where we come together as professionals to share our experiences, challenges, and insights, not to be taught, but to learn from each other.
Full Circle is about connection, not workshops. It’s a circle of peers, not a classroom.
**By registering for this event, you agree to stand by our shared principles:**
* Confidentiality: What is shared in the circle stays in the circle.
* Presence: We give our full attention to each other, listening deeply.
* Respect: Every voice matters; we value different perspectives and approaches.
* Curiosity: We come to explore, not to give definitive answers.
* Contribution: Everyone is encouraged to share practices, cases, and reflections.
* Commitment: We show up consistently, knowing the community grows through regular participation.
**How our gatherings work**:
We gather **once a month** in person, and every time we move through the same process:
* *Check-in*: We begin by going around the circle, with each person sharing what’s present for them in the moment.
* *Shared practice*: One member of the community leads the group through a method, exercise, or embodied practice from their own field. Everyone experiences it first-hand.
* *Integration dialogue*: Together, we explore what the practice brought up and how it might be woven into our client work.
* *Check-out*: Each person shares one insight they will carry with them.

Pranic Healing Level I - PH I--- DAY 2 of 2
MCKS PRANIC HEALING® Level I
In PRANIC HEALING® Level 1, you learn the basics of working with your energy aura, including learning to "scan," or feel the energy, to "sweep," or clean away congested energy, and to "energize," or supplement areas in your aura that have a pranic deficiency.
PRANIC HEALING® has been taught to doctors, nurses, massage
therapists, acupuncturists, chiropractors, shiatsu practitioners, and many others in the healing field. It has allowed them to heal confidently and consistently in the shortest learning time possible. These professionals find PRANIC HEALING® very effective and easy to apply.
Other topics covered in PRANIC HEALING® Level 1:
Energetic anatomy: You will learn to work with the network of chakras, meridians and auras to accelerate the healing processes of your body.
Preventive healing: You will learn to remove the negative energetic patterns of a disease to prevent it from fully manifesting as a physical ailment.
Self-Pranic healing: You will learn to apply these healing techniques to accelerate your own healing.
Step-by-step techniques for ailments related to your:
respiratory system, e.g., asthma,; circulatory system, e.g., heart ailments; gastrointestinal system, e.g., irritable bowel syndrome; musculoskeletal system, e.g., arthritis and back pain; reproductive system, e.g., menstrual problems. You'll also learn how to address common problems as migraines and sinusitis.
Additionally, you'll learn to apply distant healing to loved ones who are not present in the room with you.
All PRANIC HEALING® courses are "experiential," which means that you learn by actually performing the techniques and exercises in class - on yourself and those around you. During class, all the principles will be explained thoroughly and you will practice the techniques exhaustively so you will be confident in your ability to produce positive results when you finish the course.
This is Day 2 of 2 Attendance at day one is required to attend day 2.
The Course text book is Choa Kok Sui, "Miracles through Pranic Healing" Please bring this with you to class.
