**Volleyball 5-1 Systems & Tactical Play 2 — Compete Smarter & Execute with Purpose (15+)** Ready to elevate your game beyond structure and start outplaying your opponents? Volleyball 5-1 Systems & Tactical Play 2 is designed for intermediate players who already understand the 5-1 system and are ready to sharpen their tactical awareness, decision-making, and competitive edge. This clinic shifts the focus from *knowing your role* to *using it strategically*—helping you play with intention in fast-paced, game-like situations.

You’ll build the ability to read the game, anticipate opponent tendencies, and turn structured rotations into a fluid, aggressive system. *** **Who This Clinic Is For:** • Players with strong fundamental skills and prior experience in the 5-1 system • Athletes currently playing—or preparing to play—in organized leagues or competitive environments • Players ready to improve tactical decision-making and compete at a higher level *This clinic is not recommended for beginners.* *** **Location:** Miles Nadal JCC — 750 Spadina Ave. (enter through Spadina doors) **Format:** Group instruction led by an experienced, competitive-level coach **Registration Required in Advance** RSVP’ing on Meetup does not reserve your spot.

In-Person Writing Sprints
In-Person Writing Sprints
Struggling with motivation and focus as you hammer away on your manuscript at home? Want to join a community of writers as we embrace the joys and pains (mostly pains) of writing together? Bring your laptop, pen & paper, old-school typewriter, or futuristic writing gadget, and join an enthusiastic community of science fiction and fantasy writers as we work on our current projects in the same space. The format will be similar to our online writing sprints: 30-minute blocks of focused, quiet writing time (the sprints), interspersed with breaks where we can chat, ask questions, and share our writing experiences.
Ecstatic Dance Oakville — Live DJ + Drumming Experience
Ecstatic Dance Oakville — Live DJ + Drumming Experience
## https://www.my-vitae.com/store/p/ecstatic-dance-oakville-live-dj-drumming-experience **A collaboration with My Vitae & Chocolate Groove** We return for our next Ecstatic Dance Oakville — a deeper dive into rhythm, movement, and embodied connection. This edition features a special live set with Auraboros — a multi-genre DJ and live drummer weaving together electronic soundscapes with raw, primal rhythm. There’s something ancient that awakens when we move to live drums. This dance invites you into that pulse — into the heartbeat beneath the music. Our previous gatherings have brought together 80+ dancers in a conscious, heart-centered space rooted in presence, expression, and community. Each event continues to build — refining the container while expanding the energy on the floor. Set inside the serene atmosphere of My Vitae Sanctuary, the afternoon unfolds as a guided musical arc — from grounding and arrival, into deep rhythm and activation, emotional release, and a spacious integration. No choreography. No expectations. Just presence, breath, and movement — shared in a respectful, substance-free space. This is an invitation to drop in. To feel more. To move what’s ready to move. **Join us on the floor.** **Featured Artist: Auraboros (Live DJ + Drumming)** What happens when a lifelong metal drummer discovers multi-genre DJing? Musical snakes eating their own tails is what. Launched in late 2024, Auraboros (aka Chris Taylor) has quickly found solid footing in Canada’s conscious dance scene, with appearances including Chocolate Groove, Daybreaker, Floorplay, Soul Expansion, and festivals such as Sonic Springs, Bumi Fest, Anahata, and Toronto Tantra Fest. Juggling both live drumming and DJ mixing simultaneously, his sets take you far from where they begin — moving through wide-ranging tempos and genres — to land you somewhere different yet strangely familiar… just like his own life’s journey. Auraboros is here, and there, and back again. [Soundcloud.com/auraboros_beats](http://soundcloud.com/auraboros_beats) **Closing Sound Meditation** The experience closes with a guided sound meditation facilitated by Jess of Willow-Ray Healing. Through voice and layered instrumentation, the session supports the body in settling, integrating, and absorbing the movement journey — allowing space for stillness, reflection, and internal awareness before closing. **What Is Ecstatic Dance?** Ecstatic Dance is a free-form movement journey — an invitation to move however your body wants to move. There are no steps to learn, no choreography, and no expectations. It is a practice of self-expression, mindfulness, release, and embodied listening. The music flows in waves — from slow and grounding to high-energy and expansive — allowing the body to move through sensation, emotion, energy, and rest. Each dance is held in a safe, substance-free space, supporting you to drop out of the mind and into the body. It’s not about how you look — it’s about how you feel. **What to Expect** • Opening circle & guided heart-centered intention setting • Ecstatic Dance journey with Auraboros (DJ set + live drumming) • Closing sound meditation & gentle integration • Alcohol-free · Substance-free · Phone-free spac **Schedule** **Saturday, April 12th** Doors Open: 12:30 PM Dance Journey: 1:11 PM – 2:41 PM Closing Sound Bath: 2:41–3:11 Container Closes: 3:33 PM **Location** My Vitae Sanctuary Oakville, Ontario **Tickets** Available online Limited capacity — please reserve in advance **What Is Chocolate Groove?** For the past seven years, Chocolate Groove has been hosting conscious, intentional celebrations — creating safe, inclusive spaces for gathering, dancing, and deep connection. As a staple sober celebration in Toronto, we bring a wellness-focused, retreat-style experience into nightlife and community spaces. Since 2018, we’ve continued to evolve — holding space for Ecstatic Dance, ceremony, and meaningful human connection. At our core, we are more than just a dance party — we are a community. A space for authentic expression, presence, and celebration — where everyone is welcome. **Code of Conduct Agreement** Please respect, honor & love: ❤️ Yourself 💫 The Space 🌎 Each Other 🌿 This is an alcohol-free space 🌈 We are co-creating a safe, inclusive, family-friendly, non-judgmental, and shame-free environment We are all active participants in holding this container. If you or someone else needs support, please connect with a member of our team — we’re here for one another. **With love** Ecstatic Dance Oakville & The My Vitae Team

Vegan Potluck Brunch (and a walk or games)
This potluck will start at 11:30 a.m. (note the new time just for today as we are having brunch!). So, please bring brunch items like pancakes, waffles, tofu scramble, etc. Be creative!

PLEASE bring enough food for 4-6 people. Bring your own utensils, plates, bowls, and cup as the centre does not always have an adequate supply of these. You are responsible for your own clean-up and if you borrow the items at the centre please clean them. To find the room: Go through the main doors from the parking lot on the north side of the building. Before you get to the next set of doors (that are straight ahead), turn left through this door (there should be a sign that says Scarborough Vegans); and now go to almost the end of the hallway and it will be on the right hand side. All are welcome veg-curious, vegetarian, and vegan as long as what you bring to the potluck is vegan!

Lunch at Hawker (after Vegetarian trek for omnivores)
This is a companion event for [Vegetarian trek for omnivores](https://www.meetup.com/hike-to-eat/events/313774090). You don't have to do the hike to join this, but it's more rewarding if you do. [Hawker](https://www.hawker.to/) is perhaps the most innovative vegan restaurant in Toronto. Drawing inspiration from one of the oldest vegetarian traditions, several of their dishes fuse Indian influences with modern sensibilities. Take their biryani, for example, spiked with smoked poblano and lavender. Other dishes reflect the global experiences of the chefs. It's fine dining standards with casual prices. If there are many people on the waitlist and it's at least 5 days before the event, we may arrange another table. **Payment** * The $5 event fee is a deposit. It will be refunded when you show up. * After signing up for the event, you have 24 hours to e-transfer the fee to globaltorontoeats@gmail.com * If you're on the waitlist, you don't have to pay the deposit until a space opens up. You have 24 hours to pay the deposit after you've made it off the waitlist. * When sending the e-transfer, please add a note that mentions your meetup.com name. * If you don't pay in time, you will be removed from the attendee list. The spot will be given to the next person on the waitlist. **Cancellation and refund policy** * You can cancel and get a full refund 5 calendar days before the event. For example, if the event is on Friday 7pm, you can cancel without penalty anytime before the preceding Sunday 11:59pm. * No refunds within 5 calendar days of the event, unless someone can be found to take your place. * Full refund if the event is cancelled or rescheduled.

The Story So Far: A WiA Reflection Circle
The Story So Far: A WiA Reflection Circle
A WiA Collective Wisdom Exchange At the start of this year, we gathered to look back, set intentions, and imagine the next chapter. This is the follow-up. Not a check-in. Not a progress report. A small, facilitated circle to reconnect with what you said mattered — and honestly explore what’s actually happening now. Together, we’ll explore: • What you intended at the start of this year - and what that looks like three months in • What’s surprised you, supported you, or shifted • What the next chapter needs now that you know what you know If you were at our January gathering, bring whatever you made or wrote — your word, your artifact, your intention. We’ll look at it with fresh eyes. If this is your first time, you belong here too. You’ll start where we all started: with what’s true right now. Optional art materials will be available for anyone who wants to reflect creatively alongside conversation. If you brought something home from January, you’re warmly invited to bring it back. The intention is the same as always: everyone leaves feeling more clear, more connected, and a little lighter. Space is intentionally limited to keep the experience intimate. What to Expect • A small, welcoming circle (not a large meetup) • Structured conversation so everyone has space to speak • Reflection, listening, and lived experience — not advice-giving • Optional creative reflection alongside conversation • A calm, supportive environment Who This Is For Women and underrepresented folks working in or around agile, product, technology, leadership, or organizational change — especially those looking for honest conversation and community beyond frameworks and buzzwords. Good to Know • No preparation required • If you attended in January, we invite you to bring anything you created or wrote (or something that represents your intention at the start of the year) - it’s optional but invited • Participation is invitational; listening is always welcome • Creative activities are optional

What If Your AI Could Be a Team? - Chad Green
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge. **Abstract** GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise. We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration. Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team. **YouTube Link** TBD

We believe mental health should be accessible, community-driven, and rooted in nature. Join us and take the first step toward a more connected, grounded, and supported version of yourself. ### **Why Our Groups are Donation-Based** Our Outdoor Movement Groups are made possible through a donation-based model. This approach allows us to keep our events accessible to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances, while also ensuring that we can continue expanding our reach.
