Knowledge Sharing

Much of our life is shaped by the need to know — to have answers, a direction, something solid to stand on. This evening explores the moments when knowing falls away and a different way of meeting life becomes possible. Rather than treating don’t-know as a problem or a lack, we approach it as a living place — awake, responsive, and present before opinions and self-stories arise. **The session is offered by visiting Zen teacher Manu Garcia-Guillén from New York.** **The event is free of charge. Voluntary donations are welcome to support the teacher and help cover the cost of the space.** Warm welcome.

**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.

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.

For centuries philosophy has asked what reason is, what a mind is, and what makes a person a person. Now we build systems that write, compose, argue, diagnose, persuade, and imitate creativity — sometimes more fluently than we do. But do they understand anything? Or do they instead force us to confront how little we understand ourselves? Rather than focusing on technical details, this meetup asks what AI reveals about human life and society. We will explore questions such as: **Human Identity** * If thinking can be automated, what remains uniquely human? * Is intelligence just pattern-recognition, or something irreducibly personal? * Does interacting with AI change how we relate to other people — or to ourselves? **Social Life** * Will AI deepen loneliness or alleviate it? * What happens to trust when texts, images, and voices can be generated at will? * Do we begin treating humans more like machines — or machines more like humans? **Work and Wealth** * Who benefits economically from AI systems? * Does automation liberate workers — or concentrate power and wealth further? * What happens to meaning and dignity if large parts of cognitive labor disappear? **Politics and Responsibility** * Who is accountable for AI-driven decisions? * Can democratic societies function in an era of automated persuasion and misinformation? * Does political power shift toward those who control data and computation? **Environment** * What are the ecological costs of energy-intensive AI systems? * Is technological acceleration compatible with sustainability? * How should we weigh innovation against long-term planetary responsibility? No technical expertise is required. This is not a coding session — it is a space to think carefully about who we are becoming. Come ready to question not only machines, but ourselves. **Description by ChatGPT**

A creative exploration, using a mix of artistic materials to express emotions freely- perfect for everyone craving a slower Sunday. IMPORTANT: Registration is necessary and done through Eventbrite: [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/creative-sunday-for-wellbeing-colors-emotions-and-creative-visioning-tickets-1983191544295?aff=oddtdtcreator](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/creative-sunday-for-wellbeing-colors-emotions-and-creative-visioning-tickets-1983191544295?aff=oddtdtcreator) This final Creative Sunday session invites you into an immersive, playful and reflective creative experience where colors, emotions and imagination come together. Through a mix of **art-therapy inspired practices, theater games, and experimental creative exercises** (such as collage, sculpture, and intuitive making), participants are gently guided through both **individual exploration** and **collective creation**. This workshop is an opportunity to connect with your emotional world through colors, movement and form, and to explore creative visioning in a supportive, non-judgmental space. No artistic experience needed, only curiosity and openness. **You do not need to have attended the previous workshops in the mini-series.** This session is opened to everyone, wheather you are joining the Creative Sunday for the first time, or returning to close the journey together. Come as you are, create freely, and leave with new insights, creative inspiration and a sense of connection. **What to expect:** * Expression of creativity and experimentation freely in a safe and supportive environment * Relaxing and restorative moments and have some fun * Reflect in a creative way on wellbeing * Make new friends and build social connections This workshop is part of **Creative Sunday for Wellbeing**\- a mini series of creative workshops designed to gently reconnect with play\, expression\, and curiosity\. Through simple exercises, creative prompts inspired by theater games, and the use of a wide range of artistic materials, participants are invited to explore creativity in an open and supportive space. **This is not art therapy and not an art class-** there is no pressure to perform, produce, or "be good" at anything. Instead, the focus is on experimentation, imagination, and personal exploration. While the sessions are not therapeutic, they might offer moments of reflection, renewed energy, and a fresh perspective on wellbeing through creative practices. The topics of the workshops are the following: 25.1.2026 The Art of Slowing Down 1.2.2026 Finding your Flow 8.2.2026 Nature as Nurture 15.2.2026 Words for Wellbeing **22.2.2026 Colors, Emotions and Creative Visioning** WHEN & WHERE: 22nd of February at 15.30-17.30 Valo tila, Lapinlahden Lähde Lapinlahdenpolku 8 00180 Helsinki (How to find us: When entering through the café to the gallery hallway, turn left and head up the stairs. Valo tila is through the first door on the right hand side.) Meet Giulia Lepori Giulia Lepori is an Italian sociologist whose work lives in the intersection of mental health, art, and creative exploration. During her university years in Turin, she co-founded an artistic laboratory that became a living space for experimentation, dialogue, and collective creation. Over seven years, she worked across multiple artistic languages, curating workshops, exhibitions, courses, and public events. Her path led her to one-year art therapy training grounded in psychodynamic approach, deepening her interest in creativity as a tool for care, expression, and transformation. Giulia has facilitated creative workshops with adults, adolescents, children, and people with disabilities, shaping spaces where art becomes a shared process rather than a finished product. In 2024, she brought her practice to Helsinki, organizing her first creative workshop in collaboration with MIELI Without Borders during Mental Health Art Week. The workshop is a collaboration between @mieliwithoutborders and @miitti1

This meetup is a beginner-friendly, hands-on workshop focused on building shaders in Unity using Shader Graph. Instead of slides or theory-heavy lectures, we'll build real shaders together step-by-step. The format is structured but interactive. You'll watch a quick demo, then build each shader yourself with guidance. By the end, you'll have created multiple shaders you can immediately use in your own projects—and understand how to make more. **What to Expect:** * Build 4–5 complete shaders from scratch * Color tints, snow accumulation, scrolling water, dissolve effects, and more * No prior shader experience required * Checkpoint files provided if you fall behind * Resources for continued learning All experience levels are welcome. Whether you've never opened Shader Graph or just want to fill gaps in your knowledge, this is a supportive space to learn by doing. **Food and drinks provided. Join us to learn, build, and level up your shader skills.** I added the Unity project to the repo here - https://github.com/EricJRico/IntroToShaders.git This is what we'll be using for the session.

Join **Daclaud** at **The Arcane Foundry** for an evening that introduces newcomers and enthusiasts alike to the timeless craft of **tabletop wargaming** and **miniature painting**. My own journey began with a fascination for fantasy — knights in armor, grim and hardened warriors, and monstrous creatures locked in epic battle. That passion led me to **Dungeons & Dragons**, where I painted my first **Basic Heroes set** and felt the spark that comes from bringing a character to life in miniature form. Not long after, I discovered **Warhammer Fantasy** and **Warhammer 40,000**, and I was hooked. The vision of vast armies clashing across the table — each unit meticulously painted, each story unfolding through dice and imagination — became my creative obsession. During this event, we’ll explore the **origins of wargaming**, from its early military simulations to the richly detailed worlds of modern tabletop battle systems. You’ll learn how to **build and customize your own armies**, paint your first figures, and experience the joy of turning strategy and storytelling into a hands-on art form. Whether you’re drawn by the lore, the hobby, or the thrill of commanding miniature legions, this introduction will open the gates to a world that has captivated hobbyists for generations. **🎨 RSVP today and join us at The Arcane Foundry — where every brushstroke and battle tells a story.**
