**Join our Telegram Channel– Siri Quantum:** [https://t.me/+6BN_YIxiSHY4ZjI8](https://t.me/+6BN_YIxiSHY4ZjI8) **Wednesday May 27th · 6:30–9 pm** **Facilitated by Ramon Perelló** **Exploring hidden family patterns and relationship dynamics** Many of the challenges we experience in relationships, work, or personal wellbeing are often connected to hidden dynamics within our family system. Family Constellations offer a powerful experiential method to reveal these unconscious patterns and open space for understanding, healing, and new movement in our lives. This **monthly 2.5-hour group session** provides a clear and grounded introduction to Family Constellations as a practical tool for exploring personal and relational dynamics in a respectful and supportive environment. Through experiential group work, participants can observe how systemic and family patterns influence our lives — often without conscious awareness — and gain new perspectives that support integration and change. ## Topics often explored in constellations • Relationship patterns and recurring conflicts • Difficulties with parents or family members • Feeling stuck in life or career • Repeating emotional patterns • Separation, divorce, or family conflict • Belonging and identity within the family system • Generational or ancestral patterns • Personal direction and life decisions ## How the circle works • Two participants will have the opportunity to constellate a personal topic • Other participants take part as representatives (no previous experience required) • Guided integration to support clarity and understanding • A respectful and confidential group space that supports the process Participants who will constellate will have a **brief pre-session call with the facilitator** to clarify their intention and understand the process. This circle is suitable whether you wish to work on a personal topic, learn more about systemic dynamics, or simply observe the process in a professional group setting. No previous experience is required. ## Contribution • €60 – constellation work • Representatives attend free of charge Places are limited. To reserve your place: Contact Ramon at **+34 670 086 420** **To register for participation please fill out this form:** **https://forms.gle/LEdNEqWRDsN1YGa17** ## Facilitator **Ramon Perelló** is a holistic therapist with extensive experience in Family Constellation work.

AI has made it easier to move fast, but not easier to know what matters. As design teams adopt AI into their workflows, the challenge is no longer just output. It is coherence: knowing what to automate, how to measure value and how to lead people through a shift that is changing expectations in real time. On 27 May, Greg Kozakiewicz joins us for a practical talk on design’s next competitive advantage. The session will look at the “60/40” ratio in AI-driven design work, and what it means for designers, design leaders, and teams trying to stay strategically relevant while everything gets faster. We’ll explore: * Why speed is no longer enough * What the “60/40” ratio means for modern design teams * How to measure design value beyond taste and output * How business thinking increase design’s influence * Where design systems fit in the AI era How to manage teams, expectations and ambiguity right now This is not a portfolio talk. It’s a practical session for designers who want to understand where the work is heading, how to stay useful and how to turn design into a clearer business advantage.

No slides. No speaker. No agenda. Just developers talking shop over a cold one. This is an informal gathering for engineers, founders, and builders who are deep in the agentic coding trenches — using tools like Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code, OpenCode, or rolling their own agent pipelines. Come swap what's actually working, what blew up in production, and what you're excited about right now. We'll be at Barcelona, and the format is simple: show up, grab a drink, and share what you know. Bring a laptop if you want to show something, but it's not required. WhatsApp Group: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GVS0bHMPIzID3Ch9lt6YsU?mode=gi_t **What we talk about (but not limited to):** *Agentic coding workflows and tooling - Prompt engineering & context engineering in practice *Multi-agent architectures and orchestration - AI-native product building *What's broken in the ecosystem and how you're working around it **Who should come:** Developers, technical founders, and AI engineers who build with (or on top of) LLMs. All levels welcome — senior devs with war stories and curious beginners both make the conversation better. **Format:** Open conversation, round-table style. Everyone teaches, everyone learns.

El próximo 29 y 30 de Mayo en Barcelona un grupo de bitcoiners organizan la **segunda edición de la Cyphers Conference - BCC8333**. Es un acto independiente que tiene todo el apoyo de Barcelona Bitcoin Only. En esta conferencia encontrarás ponencias y debates relacionados con Bitcoin, privacidad o permacultura. En palabras de sus organizadores: *BCC8333 aims to create a yearly gathering to unite open-source developers, builders, and freedom fighters to collaborate and find solutions to their most pressing challenges. We strive to empower individuals with the tools, resources, and knowledge needed to overcome obstacles in building accessible, secure, and privacy-respecting technologies.* *We've found that certain subjects, like bitcoin, permaculture, and privacy, are not only fascinating but also challenging to learn. We want to provide a place where people with little to no knowledge can come and immerse themselves in a wide range of topics, from the basics to advanced levels. Our goal is to create a space where anyone can come and leave as an authentic cypherpunk, equipped with the skills, and also the tools to take control of their own sovereignty. Because yes, we want to help everyone have access not just to the experiences, but also to the tools to become a real cypherpunk.* Tienes toda la información aquí: [https://www.bcc8333.com](https://www.bcc8333.com) El registro en la página del meetup no es suficiente. **Reserva tu plaza en este enlace:** [https://www.bcc8333.xyz/tickets](https://www.bcc8333.xyz/tickets)

\*ниже есть описание на русском **El 31 de mayo tendremos la práctica “Conexción”** Son tiempos extraños… A veces parece que todo se derrumba y aparece la necesidad urgente de encontrar un lugar donde las nuevas crisis, el caos, las pérdidas o la destrucción no puedan alcanzarnos Y esa sensación de inseguridad poco a poco se proyecta sobre todo lo que nos rodea: el mundo, los países, las personas de nuestra ciudad, nuestros seres queridos, incluso sobre nosotros mismos. En esta separación hay mucha inquietud, miedo y desconfianza. Cambiar lo externo no siempre es posible Pero sí podemos añadir algo diferente. En esta práctica vamos a mirar hacia dentro, buscar ese espacio interno de silencio y calma, y sentir cómo es estar conectados con nuestro propio centro. Y también cómo cambia el contacto con nosotros mismos, con otras personas y con el mundo cuando dejamos de alejarnos y nos relacionamos desde ese lugar Habrá respiración, conversaciones, danza, prácticas grupales, en pareja e individuales. Pero detrás de todo ello habrá presencia, contacto, aceptación y apoyo para que cada persona pueda encontrar sus propias respuestas. **Qué sucederá en la sesión** 🌸 Contacto suave y respetuoso, con ropa (para la comodidad de los participantes seguimos la regla: “sí” significa sí, “no” significa no) 💃 Interacción a través del movimiento y danza consciente 🫶 Comunicación y presencia atenta ✨ Prácticas de respiración Las prácticas se realizan completamente vestidos y no contienen ningún contexto religioso ni sexual Las prácticas tántricas hablan de conexión y de aprender a sentir el cuerpo y la energía de una manera más profunda Ayudan a liberar bloqueos internos, abrir la creatividad y enriquecer el contacto con otra persona. Y también crean un espacio cálido, suave y humano para la comunicación sincera 🌿 Puedes venir con pareja o encontrar una durante la sesión Para parejas — es una oportunidad de vivir algo nuevo juntos y descubrir nuevas dimensiones de conexión Para quienes vienen solos — es un espacio donde puedes sentirte visto como hombre o mujer, de una manera suave y segura, recibiendo atención, contacto y cercanía, y explorar nuevas formas de ampliar tu capacidad de sentir y construir una conexión consciente con otra persona \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 🪷 Ven — es un espacio seguro e interesante para ser tú mismo \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 🗣 La sesión se realiza en **ruso con traducción al español (con inscripción previa)** Facilitadora — Zharkikh Victoria 📸 Instagram: @letsTantra 📅 31 de mayo \| 16:30 – 20:00 (entrada a las 16:30, inicio de la práctica a las 16:45) 📍 A 6 minutos caminando en línea recta desde la estación de metro Lesseps **Precio** Por favor, confirma la disponibilidad antes de realizar el pago. 💶 €25 — participación individual [payment lin](https://revolut.me/victorkagc?currency=EUR&amount=2500&note=contribuci%C3%B3n%20al%20evento%201) 💞 €40 — para dos personas [payment link](https://revolut.me/victorkagc?currency=EUR&amount=4000&note=contribuci%C3%B3n%20al%20evento%202) **✨ Primera sesión** **— €15 [payment link](https://revolut.me/victorkagc?currency=EUR&amount=1500&note=contribuci%C3%B3n%20al%20evento)** La inscripción se confirma mediante prepago.

И это ощущение небезопасности иногда перекладывается на все вокруг - на мир, государства, жителей своего города, близких людей, себя.. И в этой разделенности много беспокойства, страхов, недоверия. Внешнее изменить это сложно, но можно добавить что-то другое. В этой практике мы посмотрим внутрь себя, поищем там пространство тишины и спокойствия и попробуем почувствовать, как это, когда мы соединены со своим внутренним центром и как это, когда мы не отстраняемся, а выходим в контакт с собой, с миром, другими людьми из этого состояния. Будет дыхание, разговоры, танцы, групповые, парные, личные практики, но за всем этим внимание, контакт, принятие и поддержка в том, чтобы искать свои собственные ответы. Приглашаем в воскресенье 31 мая на практику Зал открыт с **17:30, в 17:45 начало, окончание в 20:00** ### Что будет на занятии 🌸 Мягкий и уважительный контакт в одежде («да» — это да, «нет» — это нет) 💃 Танцевальное взаимодействие и осознанное движение 🫶 Общение и внимательный контакт ✨ Дыхательные практики Практики проводятся в одежде и не содержат религиозного или сексуального контекста Тантрические практики — это про контакт и умение лучше чувствовать тело и энергию Они помогают снять внутренние блоки, раскрыть творчество и обогатить контакт с партнёром А ещё — это мягкое, тёплое пространство для душевного общения 🌿 Можно прийти вдвоём или найти пару уже на занятии Для тех, кто в паре — это новый совместный опыт. Для тех, кто приходит один — пространство для внимания, контакта и исследования чувствительности. 🪷 Здесь безопасно и интересно быть собой 🗣 Занятие на русском с переводом на испанский Ведущая — Жарких Виктория 📸 Instagram: @letsTantra 📅 **воскресенье\, 31 мая \| 16:30 – 20:00** (зал открыт с 16:30, начало занятия в 16:45) 📍 6 минут от метро Lesseps ### Стоимость (уточняйте, пожалуйста, наличие мест перед оплатой) 💶 25 € — одиночное участие [ссылка на оплату](https://revolut.me/victorkagc?currency=EUR&amount=2500&note=contribuci%C3%B3n%20al%20evento%201) 💞 40 € — для двоих [ссылка на оплату](https://revolut.me/victorkagc?currency=EUR&amount=4000&note=contribuci%C3%B3n%20al%20evento%202) ✨ **15 € — первое занятие** [ссылка на оплату](https://revolut.me/victorkagc?currency=EUR&amount=1500&note=contribuci%C3%B3n%20al%20evento) **Бронь по предоплате** При отмене более чем за 24 часа — возврат стоимости билета Просьба продублировать в один из контактов ниже чек оплаты, чтобы вас отметили: telegram @vizhvin Instagram: @letsTantra [letstantrabcn@gmail.com](%5Bmailto:letstantrabcn@gmail.com%5D(http://mailto:letstantrabcn@gmail.com/))

Hi and welcome to our next Socrates Café philosophy meetup! Do you have a hunger for deeper understanding of yourself and the world? Do you value deep, honest and respectful dialogue? If yes, then this meetup will be very interesting for you. • WHAT IS A MEETUP ABOUT? At every meetup we have a discussion using Socratic method: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_method We ask, answer and discuss questions and ideas to stimulate critical thinking and to widen our perspectives with new concepts and thoughts. The main purpose of these meetups is to enrich ourselves with the perspectives of others, not to convince others about our own perspectives. Our meetups are about our own philosophies of life and not necessarily what the great philosophers and academics have said or written. It is not a debating club or a platform for proselytizing. Instead, we place the emphasis on questioning, open mindedness and challenging our own assumptions while listening to and respecting the views shared by others. A Socrates Café meetup is considered a success when participants leave a discussion with many more questions than they had at the beginning. • WHAT TOPIC IS DISCUSSED AT THE MEETUP? Participants suggest topics at the beginning of each meeting. We then vote and choose that event's most popular topic for discussion. No academic training in philosophy necessary; just enthusiasm for exchanging ideas and points of view. Some examples of subjects chosen on previous meetups: * What ideals are worth dying for? * Why are we never satisfied? * Why is it that human beings know that the society is going wrong, leaders are well informed about it and things continue as is? * Is identity necessary? * How can it be that people in democratic societies are so obsessed with power? (Desire to be different, better, stronger than others) * What is friendship? • WHO PARTICIPATES AT THIS MEETUP? Anybody is more than welcome to join our meetups. Our events gather people from different backgrounds, different cultures, while no philosophical background is mandatory. Our usual participants are people that have a hunger for deeper understanding of themselves and the world. People that value deep, honest and respectful dialogue. The inspiration for Socrates Cafe originates with the book of the same name, written by the philosopher Christopher Phillips. (Socrates Cafe: A Fresh Taste of Philosophy, 2002). Phillips felt that the Socratic method of dialogue and discussion should be practiced not just in academic settings, but among everyday people interested in examining deep questions together. Hundreds of Socrates Cafe groups now exist around the world.

In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod. **YouTube Link** https://youtube.com/live/BltmWMH1zG0?feature=share

**History** The [Franklin Park Conservatory](https://www.fpconservatory.org/)’s roots trace back to 1852 when the Franklin County Agricultural Society purchased 88 acres of land to host the Ohio State Fair. After the fair moved to its permanent home, the city of Columbus transformed the grounds into Franklin Park in 1884. This transition shifted the space from a temporary event site to a dedicated public green space for the growing community. The park became a central hub for outdoor recreation and early civic gatherings in the neighborhood. In 1895, the landmark Victorian-style Palm House opened its doors, drawing heavy inspiration from the Glass Palace of the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. This iron and glass structure became an immediate icon, housing exotic plants that residents would otherwise never see in the Midwest. It remains the oldest part of the facility and serves as a primary link to the conservatory’s 19th-century origins. For decades, it stood as a singular testament to grand horticultural architecture in Central Ohio. A major turning point arrived in 1992 when Columbus hosted AmeriFlora '92, an international horticultural exhibition. This massive event prompted a $16 million renovation and expansion, adding significantly more greenhouse space and the Dorothy M. Davis Showhouse. The festival put the conservatory on the international map and fundamentally changed its scale and ambition. Following the event, the facility transitioned from a city-run park to a private, non-profit organization. In 2003, the conservatory’s identity was further defined through a long-term partnership with world-renowned glass artist Dale Chihuly. After a successful exhibition, the Friends of the Conservatory purchased most of the glass installations, creating the largest permanent collection of Chihuly’s work in a botanical setting. These vibrant glass sculptures are now woven throughout the biomes, blending art with nature. This addition helped cement the conservatory as a premier cultural destination rather than just a botanical garden. Recent years have seen the site expand beyond the glass walls to emphasize community engagement and outdoor education. The 2018 opening of the Scotts Miracle-Gro Foundation Children’s Garden added two acres of interactive landscape designed for hands-on learning. The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company Community Garden Campus also provides local residents with space to grow their own food and learn sustainable practices. Today, the conservatory balances its historic Victorian charm with modern commitments to local ecology and the Columbus community. **Maps of the Conservatory** Here is the [main map](https://www.fpconservatory.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/franklin-park-zones-scaled.jpg) of the Conservatory grounds. Here's a [map of the areas](https://www.fpconservatory.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/ConstructionMap-2026.jpg) in which the Conservatory has ongoing construction (see below). **Summary** For this event, we'll explore Columbus's highly-rated and very popular Conservatory. As mentioned above, the Conservatory is doing renovations on parts of the facility. These renovations are scheduled to be ongoing until the Fall of next year. Basically, no matter when you go to the Conservatory over the next 18 months, you're going to see some metaphorical orange barrels. So let's just go now. **Tickets and pricing** On the first Sunday of every month, the Conservatory is free for residents of Franklin County and the city of Columbus. You must bring an ID to receive this discount. (Yes, they do check.) Otherwise, tickets are $25.20. Members of the Columbus Zoo (of which I am one) do get a discount on tickets, though I have never actually bought a ticket to the Conservatory (I've always gone on free days). I believe the discount is $4. Parking is always free. If you have additional questions about pricing or whether and for what you qualify, you can reach the Conservatory at 614-715-8000. **Where we'll meet** We will meet just outside the main entrance. I guarantee there's going to be a line. The Conservatory is always popular on free days, and especially in nice weather. **Your GPS is stupid!** Be careful simply typing "Franklin Park Conservatory" in your GPS and going where it tells you. The only way to access the parking lot to the Conservatory is off of Broad Street. Unfortunately, since Google Maps is unable to find its way out of a wet paper bag, it has a tendency to want to take people to a mythical, non-existent Conservatory entrance on Nelson Road. If your GPS does this, just drive to the north side of the Conservatory along Broad Street. Your GPS should then redirect you to the main Conservatory entrance. If your GPS doesn't, then throw your phone away\* and look for the big Conservatory sign on the south side of Broad Street between Nelson Road and Franklin Park West. You also should be able to use the map pin I've provided, below, and it should properly direct you to where you need to drive. \* Don't really do this. **After the event** After stopping to smell the roses, for those that are interested, we'll head to the nearby [Columbus Brewing Company Beer Hall](https://columbusbrewing.com/location/beer-hall/) for [drinks](https://columbusbrewing.com/location/beer-hall/#draft-list) and [lunch](https://columbusbrewing.com/location/beer-hall/#food-menu). The Beer Hall's actual address is [200 Kelton Ave, Columbus, OH 43205](https://www.google.com/maps/place/200+Kelton+Ave,+Columbus,+OH+43205/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x883889a94ac4acad:0xadb2e60240dbc38b?sa=X&ved=1t:242&ictx=111) (it's literally just on the south side of the Conservatory). Be sure this is where your GPS is taking you when you use it, as the Brewing Company has a taproom on Harrison Avenue that is *not* what you want for this event. We should be at the Beer Hall by 1 if you can't make the Conservatory and just want to join us for drinks.
