BLISS x juna.ai Workshop: Open-Ended Algorithm Discovery with LLMs
**⚠️ IMPORTANT: REGISTRATION MANDATORY ⚠️**
Registration on **Luma** is **REQUIRED** to attend this event. **Link: https://luma.com/7zfk3orp?utm_source=meetup**
Your registration is subject to host approval. You must complete the registration process on lu.ma to receive the full event location details and confirmation of your attendance.
**Please note: Without approved registration on Luma, you will NOT be able to access the event location or attend.**
We are excited to host a **BLISS x juna.ai workshop** featuring **Dr. Nima Siboni (senior RL Engineer)**, who will guide us through an interactive session on algorithm discovery with LLMs.
** Title: The Heuristic Scientist: Open-Ended Algorithm Discovery with LLMs**
**📅 Date: 03.06.2026**
**🕕 Time: 18:00**
📍 Location: TU Berlin Marchstrasse 23 [Room 0.011]
The session will last around 2 hours, followed by a networking session
with juna.ai and fellow AI enthusiasts (and free pizza!🍕). Bring your laptop!
**Abstract:** Large language models are increasingly useful not only for writing code, but for exploring the space of possible algorithms. In this hands-on workshop, we will look at how LLMs can act as “heuristic scientists”: generating candidate strategies, turning ideas into executable code, testing them against concrete objectives, and refining them through feedback. The workshop centers on the general discovery loop behind LLM-assisted heuristic generation. Participants will learn how to structure problems for algorithm discovery, prompt models to propose interpretable heuristics, evaluate those heuristics with simulations or benchmarks, and use the results to guide further search. We will also discuss when simple prompting is enough, when training or fine-tuning may help, and how to keep generated heuristics understandable, testable, and auditable.
By the end of the session, participants will have built a small discovery loop of their own and will understand the practical trade-offs involved in using LLMs for open-ended algorithm discovery: creativity versus control, exploration versus verification, and automation versus human judgment.
**⚡ FINAL REMINDER ⚡**
**You MUST register and be approved on Luma to attend. The event location will only be visible after your registration is confirmed by the host. Link: https://luma.com/7zfk3orp?utm_source=meetup**

Science of Mind Events This Week
Discover what is happening in the next few days
Discover the 3.043 year old secret behind your DNA!
Yes it’s free. But please come only if you are ready.
The 22-Strand DNA Activation Used For 3,000 Years To Awaken Human Potential
For the first time a high level Initiate reveals the 3.034 year old method to awaken human potential.. this method is available to the public since 1997 and starts reaching the masses now! Humanity is ready!
Before that date people like Da Vinci, Tesla, Michelangelo, Pythagoras, Goethe, Beethoven and many more received the private opportunity to study these secrets.
There is a moment in every seeker's life when reading stops being enough.
You've done the books. The podcasts. The meditation apps. The therapy. Maybe even plant medicine, breathwork, yoga teacher trainings, retreats in distant countries.
And still — somewhere quiet inside you — that voice keeps whispering:
"There has to be more."
There is.
For 3,000 years, an unbroken lineage of teachers — traceable back to King Salomon the Wise — has guarded a precise energetic transmission known as the Life Activation. A 22-strand DNA activation that awakens dormant aspects of your divine blueprint. The same activation that has changed the lives of thousands of people across more than 50 countries.
On Thursday, in the heart of Berlin, I'm opening the doors for a free 2-hour evening to share what this path is — and what it has done for me.
---
What You'll Discover
— What the Life Activation actually is (and why every
Mystery School student receives it first)
— The lineage behind it — King Salomon, 3,000 years, 7 Mystery Schools worldwide
— How it works with your chakras, magnetic energy, etheric body, and elemental forces
— What people consistently report afterwards: clarity, vitality, release of inherited patterns, deep peace
— Why it bypasses the mind entirely — no belief required, no understanding needed
— Where this path can take you — Sacred Geometry, Kabbalah, Initiation, Healers Academy
— Live Q&A — ask anything
---
Who This Is For
You belong in this room if you:
→ Feel stuck despite trying everything — therapy, self-help,
coaching, retreats
→ Sense that there is more to life but cannot quite reach it
→ Are walking through a major transition — career,
relationship, identity, crisis
→ Want to begin a real spiritual path — not just read about
one
→ Feel drawn to ancient wisdom and lineage-based traditions
→ Are ready for change. Real change. Not more information.
You also belong here if you have zero spiritual background. You don't need to believe in anything. You just need to show up.
---
What This Is Not
Not a sales pitch dressed as a talk. Not a "manifestation" workshop. Not therapy. Not channeling. Not New Age improvisation.
This is ancient lineage work — the same teachings,
transmitted the same way, for three millennia.
---
Your Host
I'm Paul Schulz — Ritual Master in the King Salomon Lineage of the Modern Mystery School, based in Berlin, teaching in English across Europe. I received my own Life Activation in this city, and it changed everything. Now I share this work with seekers ready for the next step.

The Details

💶 FREE (limited seats — registration required)

The question is not whether you have time.

The Digital Delusion – Is Technology Making Our Children Less Capable?
**For those who read the book and those who haven't yet – both are welcome.**
*"Our children are less cognitively capable than we were at their age."*
That's the opening claim of [The Digital Delusion](https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/244813958-the-digital-delusion) by neuroscientist and educator Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath backed by a synthesis of over 21,000 studies. What does it mean? For most of the 20th century, IQ scores rose with each generation ([the well-documented Flynn effect](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flynn_effect)). Around the year 2000, that trend reversed across much of the Western world. In countries where traditional schooling remained largely intact, it didn't.
We were told that classroom technology, worth $ 400 billion, is the future of education, but Horvath argues it is not.
At the same time, [Salman Khan](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/196848520-brave-new-words?ref=nav_sb_ss_1_10) – founder of Khan Academy – believes AI could be the great equaliser in education: a personal tutor for every child, regardless of background. Both can't be entirely right. Which parts of each argument will prove to be true?
This June, Human Future Hub brings together humans interested in education, technology, parenting, policy-making and curious minds to explore one of the most consequential and least settled debates of our time: **what is digital technology actually adding to how we learn?**
We'll present the key ideas from both books, so you don't need to have read them to join the conversation, but it would be great if you do.
Come with your questions, your experience, and your honest opinion.
📅 Saturday, 6 June 2026 📍 Location to be revealed 🎟

Seitai free group session
Come join us for a gentle yet powerful Seitai group practice — a space where silence, breath, and spontaneous movement meet. This is a donation-based event, so you’re free to contribute what feels right (from 0€ to (your choice)€).
✨ What is Seitai?
Seitai (整体) is a Japanese practice that helps you reconnect with your body’s innate intelligence. Through subtle awareness and guided techniques, you’ll be invited to:
Listen deeply to your body through Yuki (a meditative, hands-on practice of sensing and following the breath).
Release hidden tension with Katsugen — allowing involuntary, spontaneous movements to arise naturally.
Find balance in stillness and movement, letting your body recalibrate itself in surprising ways.
Seitai is not about control or forcing; it’s about giving voice to the movements your body has been waiting to express. Sometimes this brings ease, clarity, and lightness. Sometimes it stirs up dizziness, discomfort, or emotions. Every experience is valid — and you are always free to pause or leave at any time.
🌌 Why join?
Discover a practice that many find deeply transformative.
Create space for release, renewal, and vitality.
Explore in community, whether you’re a curious first-timer or already familiar with Seitai.
👕 Practical details
Wear comfortable clothes and bring a towel and water to stay hydrated.
Bring openness and curiosity.
Watchers are welcome — you can simply observe, or dive into active practice.
The session is guided, but the real teacher is your own body.

🌿 Step into silence, breath, and spontaneous movement — your body knows the way.

Komm zu unserer sanften und doch kraftvollen Seitai-Gruppenpraxis – ein Raum, in dem Stille, Atem und spontane Bewegung aufeinandertreffen. Dies ist eine Veranstaltung auf Spendenbasis, du kannst also frei beisteuern, was sich für dich richtig anfühlt (von 0€ bis (deine Wahl)€).
✨ Was ist Seitai?
Seitai (整体) ist eine japanische Praxis, die dir hilft, dich wieder mit der angeborenen Intelligenz deines Körpers zu verbinden. Durch subtile Achtsamkeit und angeleitete Techniken bist du eingeladen:
\*Tief auf deinen Körper zu hören durch Yuki (eine meditative, praktische Übung des Erspürens und Folgens des Atems).
* Verborgene Spannungen mit Katsugen zu lösen – indem du unwillkürlichen, spontanen Bewegungen erlaubst, ganz natürlich zu entstehen.
\*Balance in Stille und Bewegung zu finden, während sich dein Körper auf überraschende Weise selbst neu ausrichtet.
Bei Seitai geht es nicht um Kontrolle oder Zwang; es geht darum, den Bewegungen eine Stimme zu geben, auf deren Ausdruck dein Körper gewartet hat. Manchmal bringt dies Leichtigkeit, Klarheit und Entspannung. Manchmal wirbelt es Schwindel, Unbehagen oder Emotionen auf. Jede Erfahrung ist gültig – und es steht dir jederzeit frei, eine Pause zu machen oder zu gehen.
🌌 Warum teilnehmen?
* Entdecke eine Praxis, die viele als tief transformierend empfinden.
\*Schaffe Raum für Loslassen, Erneuerung und Vitalität.
* Erkunde die Praxis in der Gemeinschaft, egal ob du neugieriger Anfänger bist oder bereits Erfahrung mit Seitai hast.
👕 Praktische Details
\*Trage bequeme Kleidung und bringe ein Handtuch sowie Wasser mit, um hydriert zu bleiben.
* Bringe Offenheit und Neugier mit.
\*Zuschauer sind willkommen – du kannst einfach nur beobachten oder direkt in die aktive Praxis eintauchen.
* Die Sitzung wird angeleitet, aber der wahre Lehrer ist dein eigener Körper.

🎥 Schau dir ein kurzes Video an: https://youtu.be/KF7agFE1zss?si=6UhmjwaIAfBo-_Op
In diesem Video [00:16] wird Seitai als eine japanische Kulturform beschrieben, die den Organismus wieder in Ordnung bringt („Seitai“ bedeutet „Körper in Ordnung“). Es basiert auf der Beobachtung der natürlichen Lebensenergie und nutzt Bewegungen wie Katsugen Undo [00:32], um die Vitalität zu fördern.
📖 Lies mehr über Seitai: https://seitaibarcelona.com/what-is-seitai/
Jeder ist willkommen, egal ob du völlig neu bist oder Seitai bereits kennst. Bringe bequeme Kleidung und einen offenen Geist mit.
💰 Diese Veranstaltung basiert auf Spenden, um den Raum zu unterstützen und es uns zu ermöglichen, dieses Angebot weiterhin aufrechtzuerhalten. Private Einzelsitzungen sind ebenfalls zu einem erschwinglichen Preis verfügbar.
🌿 Tritt ein in die Stille, den Atem und die spontane Bewegung – dein Körper kennt den Weg.

Drunken Philosophy: Are you really who you think you are? What is the "self"?
I have been studying the question of "self" online with Prof. Ellie Anderson and so I thought a prompt on the "self" might be interesting. Full confession: I had Claude create this prompt and I like it, so here goes:
Imagine a thought experiment that merges two classic puzzles:
> You undergo a procedure, performed neuron by neuron, in which every biological component of your brain is replaced with a functionally identical synthetic substitute. At each step, your behavior, memories, and personality remain unchanged. When the last neuron is swapped, is the consciousness experiencing the world still you? And — more pressingly — was there ever a continuous "you" to begin with?
### Questions to Wrestle With
* If consciousness is purely physical, does the *gradual* nature of the replacement matter, or is it equivalent to being destroyed and rebuilt?
* Could there be a "self" without continuity of experience — even moment to moment, while you sleep?
On a more practical level, consider the simpler case first: **hemispherectomy** patients — people who have had an entire cerebral hemisphere surgically removed — often retain a strong sense of personal identity and continuity. This suggests "you" are not rigidly tied to specific physical material. But does that vindicate the synthetic neuron case, or merely show that identity is more *flexible* than we thought — not that it can survive *complete* substrate replacement?
I used Claude so I could get this out today and let everyone have some time to consider it. Hope to see you at the Oracle. Sorry about the location change two weeks ago. That's what I get for trusting local weather predictions!
How to Take Control of YOUR Mental Health
It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind.
Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself.
Here is the secret of being positive and free:
Thinking positively is not enough.
You also have to get rid of the negative thinking.
Your mind is like a garden.
You can plant many beautiful flowers in it, but if you don't get rid of the weeds when you plant your flowers, the weeds will soon take over the whole garden.
A positive thought is like a flower in your mental garden, and a negative thought is like a weed.
You cannot expect to have a positive mindset if you continue to have negative thoughts dwelling and growing there.
So, how do you get rid of the negative thoughts? That's what this Meetup is all about. Attend this local meeting and find out!
The Meetup event will be led by a consultant who had helped many people live happier in life.

Free In-Person Events: How to Let Go of the Past and Move Forward
The emotional pain from past bad experiences easily lingers in the present, making it hard to enjoy life and create your future. Even when you think you've moved on, the negative emotions can be triggered, sending you back into the pain of that experience.
And we are talking about pain; emotions such as grief, depression, anxiety, fear (or terror), boiling anger, simmering resentment, feelings of shame, blaming and regret can leave you incapacitated to a greater or lesser degree.
In this local event we will be discussing the reasons why these past bad experiences have the power to affect you long after they occurred. We'll go over why the emotional pain can be so strong. We'll also discuss some simple solutions to overcome your emotional pain and be free to fully enjoy your life again.
Examples of painful experiences include:
* A broken relationship or divorce.
* Death or loss of a loved one.
* Death of a pet.
* A sudden shock or bad news.
* A betrayal.
* Being part of an abusive relationship.
* A bad injustice.
* Loss of a job, position or business.
* A grave illness or injury.
The negative emotions from these experiences don't just go away on their own. But the good news is there is a way to clear them out of your way.

Studies show that people who suffer from long-term emotional pain have painful experiences in their lives that were never fully resolved in their mind. In other words, there were issues in the past that were not completely dealt with. This can include abuse in childhood, breakups, divorce, death of a loved one, to name a few.
How do you know whether you have gotten over something painful? Here is an easy test: Do you still have attention on what had happened to you? For instance, do you still find yourself thinking about something painful that you went through? If you are, then you are not over it. In fact, in severe cases, people find themselves playing a "tape" in their mind over and over again.
So how do you heal from your past? How do you stop the "tape" playing in your mind? In this meeting, you will learn a technique to help you with that.
