From geo-political turmoil to social media drama or our workplaces and households, the information that we process on a daily basis is often stressful and overwhelming. What if we could learn how to live a little 'happier'? **ABOUT KATHLEEN DESLOGES** Kathleen Desloges is the founder of The Mission Happy Lab, happiness coach, educator and speaker with over 30 years of experience as a classroom teacher. She is spending her retirement in the pursuit of further knowledge and sharing it through speaking, workshopping, podcasting and content creation.

### Each Crossroads & Connections workshop is a fast, friendly mash-up: short demos, paired practices and intentional reflection. We keep it light, embodied, and social—so wisdom lands in your muscles and your circle, not only your mind. There isn’t one technique that fixes everything, for everyone, in every situation. ### What is it? We pair complementary domains to spark shared flow, fresh insight, and unforgettable “aha!” moments. You leave with lived skills, not just notes. * **Dialogue** gets you out of solo spin: small-group formats expose blind spots and sharpen “shared reality,” so your next move matches *this* person and *this* moment. * **Imaginal** practice is guided “as if” rehearsal you look *through*, not *at*: walking the beats before the scene means your body recognizes turns when stakes rise. * **Mindfulness** steadies the camera: attention stops jerking around, drama gets de-amplified, and you can catch the instant you’re narrating motives and swap in one honest question. * **Embodiment** makes it actionable through direct, non-verbal experience and how your inner experience matches your outer expression. Facilitators: Varies Fee: $30USD - Or a 10-pack for $200USD [Please visit here](https://awakentomeaning.com/crossroads-and-connections/) for registration and more information.

As adults, meeting new people isn’t as easy as it used to be. Between busy schedules and shrinking social circles, it can feel hard to form fresh connections—and while we’re constantly interacting online, it rarely matches the warmth and depth of a real, face-to-face conversation. That’s where our Fast Friending Evening comes in. It’s all about genuine, in-person connections with like-minded ladies and gents. Just show up, be yourself, and enjoy an evening of effortless conversations and meaningful new connections. **Book tickets now & save money -** [https://toro2ndmay.eventbrite.co.uk](https://toro2ndmay.eventbrite.co.uk) \*You can use any debit or credit card to purchase your ticket at PayPal checkout.

**Is public speaking fear or anxiety holding you back or limiting your potential in your life or career?** If so this immersive weekend (retreat like) experience could be for you. The format for the weekend is an evolution of my mission to help people **transmute subconscious fears** and blocks and self-limiting beliefs into public speaking passion, authenticity, and confidence. I've honestly never felt more certain that I’ve found the secret to **unlocking speaking power in a way that actually lasts.** I designed this weekend to be an inspiring climb up **The Public Speaking Breakthrough Ladder.** I've designed each rung to unlock a new, empowering state of being in your public speaking and then **lock that feeling into your nervous system.** Through curated quotes, deep questions, story and message prompts and a few other secret ingredients we will progress though the following 3 phases. Before I describe the format I want to acknowledge that just the thought of public speaking can feel overwhelming, but this is a **safe**, **judgment-free zone.** You will be speaking in this weekend retreat but this weekend isn't about having to perform or being put on the spot; it's about recalibrating your system so you can feel **safe and calm** as you speak. * **Phase 1: Breakthroughs 1 to 3.** * **Awareness:** What we witness, we can influence. We bring the blocks out of the shadows and share them to release their grip. * **Courage:** We'll explore courage's earliest meaning - "to speak one's mind by telling all one's heart." - as a **powerful transmuting tool.** * **Acceptance:** This isn't about passivity; it’s about actively allowing the resistance to come and out so we reclaim our power. * * **Phase 2: Breakthroughs 4 to 6.** * **Connection**: Once we connect with ourselves we learn to connect with others and lock that safety it into your subconscious. * **Confidence:** The shift from **"seeking approval" to "granting permission."** You'll learn to trust in your nervous system to stay present. * **Intention:** Breaking the habit of "playing small" and moving from how am I doing to **what is my message and how is it impacting?** * * **Phase 3: Breakthroughs 7 to 9** * **Authenticity:** Stripping away what you think you should be as a speaker to discover and **embrace who you actually are.** * **Authority:** For this weekend authority is a magnetic command that comes from knowing why you and your message matter. * **Bliss:** The final rung. The "flow state" where the fear is gone and speaking becomes something you enjoy. Imagine it yours to keep! ## **The Details** * **When:** Saturday May 2nd and Sunday May 3rd (10am to 4pm) * **Where:** 10 Lower Jarvis Street (Loblaws Community Room 2nd Floor) * **$595** ( $495 if you register before April 14 ) * Limited to 12 participants to ensure we can do the deep work required for these breakthroughs. * **Preparation:** No need to prepare anything in advance. * **Lunch:** We'll take a break for lunch; lots of options available.

Practical AI for Power BI Developers A year ago, “agentic AI” was mostly hype for Power BI teams. Today, it deserves your undivided attention. For Power BI pros, there is now a real opportunity to reduce repetitive development work, accelerate delivery, and help developers do more, but only when strong DataOps practices are in place to make AI workflows effective. This session is a no-nonsense introduction to effective AI patterns for Power BI and Fabric development. Along the way, we will make sense of the growing pile of terminology, including skills, plugins, hooks, and MCP. You will see examples of how modern AI tooling can help with development tasks across Power BI and Fabric, along with the prerequisites, guardrails, and DataOps principles needed to use it responsibly. Whether you're burned out on AI hype or already using Copilot CLI daily, this session will show you the foundations that are finally making AI-assisted development genuinely useful.
