**Español abajo 👇** ## WRITE CLUB — Escribir juntos, pensar juntos. Detalles Ever opened a blank document, stared at it for 40 minutes, and somehow ended up reorganizing your Spotify playlists instead? ✍️ Yeah. That's why this exists. What's happening: A group of strangers sits down together and writes. That's basically it. But also… not really. Sometimes it's creative writing. Stories. Poetry. Journaling. Random thoughts you haven't said out loud yet. Other weeks it's more practical: newsletters, posts, project ideas, applications, personal branding stuff, business writing, whatever you've been avoiding finishing. 💻 **At the beginning**, we share a small creative prompt or mini input. Something to get your brain moving. But nothing is strict here. You can follow the theme, or work on your own thing. You can write in your native language or one that you're learning. People help each other here. That's part of the idea. 🌍 And the important part: **you're not writing alone.** You can ask questions. Get feedback. Exchange ideas. Or just quietly sit with your coffee and finally focus for two hours without your phone destroying your attention span. 📱 At the end, whoever wants can read what they wrote. No pressure. Listening is also participating. **Who comes:** Writers. Overthinkers. Freelancers. Students. Entrepreneurs tired of working alone at home. People with thoughts too big for Instagram captions. Introverts who prefer writing before speaking. Travelers, locals, creatives, people with unfinished ideas living in their Notes app. ✍️ Basically: people looking for a different kind of connection. **The details:** 📍 TRUFFA café, Avenida Independencia 1854 🕓 Mondays \| 16:00 – 18:00 🎟 Participation: 5.000 ARS Bring your laptop, notebook, or chaotic Google Docs.

Detalles **English above 👆** ¿Alguna vez abriste un documento en blanco, te quedaste mirándolo durante 40 minutos y de alguna manera terminaste reorganizando tus playlists de Spotify? ✍️ Y sí. Por eso existe esto. Qué pasa: Un grupo de desconocidos se sienta a escribir juntos. Eso es básicamente todo. Peroooo... la verdad es que no. Algunas semanas hacemos escritura creativa. Historias. Poesía. Diario personal. Pensamientos random que todavía no dijiste en voz alta. Otras semanas es algo más práctico: newsletters, posteos, ideas para proyectos, aplicaciones, marca personal, escritura para negocios, o cualquier cosa que vienes evitando terminar. 💻 **Al comienzo** compartimos un pequeño disparador creativo o mini input. Algo para poner el cerebro en movimiento. Pero nada aquí es estricto. Puedes seguir la propuesta del día o trabajar en lo tuyo. Puedes escribir en tu idioma nativo o en uno que estés aprendiendo. La idea también es ayudarnos entre todos. 🌍 Y la parte importante: **no estás escribiendo solo.** Puedes hacer preguntas. Recibir feedback. Intercambiar ideas. O simplemente sentarte tranquilo con un café y finalmente concentrarte durante dos horas sin que el teléfono destruya tu capacidad de atención. 📱 **Al final**, quien quiera puede leer lo que escribió. Sin presión. Escuchar también es participar. **Quién viene:** Escritores. Nómades digitales. Overthinkers. Freelancers. Estudiantes. Emprendedores cansados de trabajar solos desde casa. Personas que piensan mejor escribiendo. Introvertidos que prefieren escribir antes que hablar. Viajeros, locales, creativos, gente con ideas sin terminar viviendo en sus notas del celular. ✍️ Básicamente: personas buscando una forma diferente de conectar. **Los detalles:** 📍 TRUFFA café, Avenida Independencia 1854 🕓 Lunes \| 16:00 – 18:00 🎟 Entrada: $5.000 Trae tu laptop, cuaderno o Google Docs caóticos.

¿Te gustaría eliminar de tu cabeza todo lo que te limita? ¿Te gustaría estar más alegre y atraer la abundancia a tu vida? “Todo en la vida viene a mí con facilidad, alegría y gloria”. Los pensamientos son una forma de energía que tienen carga eléctrica. Cuando pensamos mucho nuestro cerebro se sobrecarga, lo que hace que éste se encuentre en una frecuencia de ondas Beta. Este tipo de frecuencia nos bloquea, dificulta enormemente la relajación y eleva el nivel de estrés con los problemas que todo esto conlleva. Access Bars es una técnica de aplicación manual que consigue, mediante unos suaves toques en ciertos puntos específicos de la cabeza, que las ondas cerebrales cambien, pasando de ondas Beta (estado de vigilia) a ondas Theta o Delta (estados de relajación profunda). ¿Pero es sólo eso Access Bars? Access Bars es un proceso que activa 32 barras energéticas situadas en la cabeza. Cada una de estas barras contiene información sobre determinadas áreas de la vida (dinero, control, creatividad, poder, sexualidad, cuerpo, envejecimiento, alegría, tristeza, etc.). La información que dichas barras contienen son los puntos de vista que has ido creando y haciendo significativos a lo largo de tu existencia y que, de una forma u otra, te mantienen anclado y te impiden mejorar en algún aspecto de tu vida. Al ser estimuladas, las barras comienzan a descargarse y eliminar información (carga eléctrica). Se trata, literalmente, de formatear nuestro cerebro, como si de un disco duro se tratase. ¿Significa eso que perderás información valiosa para ti? ¿que olvidarás nombres, datos importantes o recuerdos vitales? PARA NADA. Access Bars no borra ese tipo de información, llamémosla objetiva, sino que, por ejemplo, hará desaparecer puntos de vista, percepciones como “los hombres son malos” o “hay que sufrir para conseguir lo que se quiere” seas consciente de ellas o no. Estas ideas asentadas en tu mente están limitando tu capacidad de recibir mucho más de esta vida. ¿Y qué se siente después de que esas barras sean activadas en una sesión de Access Bars? El primer síntoma suele ser una relajación profunda como casi nunca antes se ha experimentado. Muchas personas se duermen durante la sesión, otras entran en un estado de entresueño, en el que parecen dormidas pero están conscientes. En este estado de la mente, el inconsciente comienza a soltar y eliminar la basura acumulada durante años de forma suave y placentera. El segundo síntoma suele ser una sensación de paz y claridad mental, muy poco común para la mayoría de las personas. En los días siguientes a la sesión te envuelve un sentimiento de mayor seguridad y confianza en ti mismo, mayor creatividad, más soltura y alegría a la hora de relacionarte, y más placer y dinamismo en cuanto a lo físico se refiere. ¿Y a todo el mundo le pasa lo mismo? No, esto es lo que la mayoría describimos, en algunos casos la experiencia ha sido incluso mejor ¿Quieres saber qué más sucede tras una sesión? Los pensamientos limitantes y juicios que habitaban tu cabeza comienzan a desaparecer. Dejas de actuar en función del pasado o del miedo al futuro para vivir plenamente conectado con el presente. Lo que antes creías que era difícil o imposible sucede con menos o ningún esfuerzo de tu parte. Las posibilidades infinitas empiezan a mostrarse en tu vida y por primera vez en años vuelves a tener posibilidad de elección (real), no de elegir en base a tus pensamientos o sentimientos viejos y obsoletos que te limitaban, sino en base a tu conocimiento del momento presente. Access Bars es el inicio de un cambio de paradigma y una forma diferente de obrar en el mundo. Resulta tan fácil que parece mentira, lo sé, y tan profundo que deja boquiabierto a más de una persona, pero cuando lo experimentes entenderás de lo que hablo.

Español abajo 👇 ## ENGLISH VERSION Ever walked into a room full of strangers and thought *"d#\*n, where do I even start"*? 🤔 Yeah. Us too. That's exactly why this exists. 💡 **What's happening:** We get a group of locals, foreigners, travelers, and random interesting humans in one room. Then we play some conversation games. Simple stuff. Cards with questions. Getting people to actually talk to each other instead of standing around pretending to read the bar menu. 🍸 **But here's the thing:** You don't have to be fluent. You don't need to be outgoing. You can literally show up alone, stand in a corner, and still leave with a new contact in your phone. 📱 No forced networking. No "let me tell you about my startup" Just conversations. Real ones. ✨ **Who comes:** People who moved here and don't know anyone. People who speak three languages and want to practice a fourth. Travelers killing time before their next flight. Locals curious about what's happening in their city. 🌍 Basically: everyone who's tired of the same old bar scene. **The details:** 📍 Sabores Puros — inside Sileo Hotel Azcuénaga 1968, Recoleta 🕕 Saturday \| 18:00 – 20:00 🎟 **Entry:** $5.000 Come solo.

Nosotros también. Por eso existe esto. 💡 **Qué pasa:** Juntamos un grupo de locales, extranjeros, viajeros y humanos interesantes random en un cuarto. Después jugamos algunos juegos de conversación. Cosas simples. Cartas con preguntas. Haciendo que la gente realmente hable entre sí en lugar de pararse alrededor fingiendo leer el menú del bar. 🍸 **Pero aquí está lo bueno:** No tienes que ser fluido. No necesitas ser extrovertido. Literalmente puedes llegar solo, pararte en una esquina, y aún así irte con un nuevo contacto en tu teléfono. 📱 Sin networking forzado. Sin "déjame contarte sobre mi startup" Solo conversaciones. Reales. ✨ **Quién viene:** Gente que se mudó aquí y no conoce a nadie. Gente que habla tres idiomas y quiere practicar un cuarto. Viajeros matando tiempo antes de su siguiente vuelo. Locales curiosos sobre qué está pasando en su ciudad. 🌍 Básicamente: todos los que están hartos de la misma escena de siempre. **Los detalles:** 📍 Sabores Puros — Sileo Hotel Azcuénaga 1968, Recoleta 🕕 Sábado \| 18:00 – 20:00 🎟 **Entrada:** $5.000 Ven solo.

Join the Columbus AI community for a special event. **Battle of the Personal Agents** is your chance to see what people are actually building with AI agents and personal automation systems. Whether you’re running OpenClaw, Hermes, or a completely custom solution, bring your agent and show the community how it works. We’re interested in real-world implementations: the problems your agent solves, how you use it day-to-day, how it’s hosted and managed, how you built it, and why you’ve chosen to keep using it. Live demonstrations are encouraged, so be prepared to show your code, architecture, workflows, and your agent performing real tasks. This is less about polished presentations and more about sharing practical experience, comparing approaches, and learning from one another. If you’d like to present, please contact Chris Slee (via meetup) before the event so we can allocate enough time for everyone’s demonstrations. Come ready to show what you’ve built, discover what others are doing, and maybe find a few ideas worth taking home. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.

**The Behavior Gap: Where Products Win or Lose** Teams today have more data than ever, and yet many still struggle to understand why customers adopt, engage with, or abandon their products. Teams sprint, ship faster, and chase more signals… all while metrics stall and confidence drops. The missing piece isn’t more data. It’s often the behavioral insight between the metrics, explaining why the numbers move in the first place. Dashboards can tell you what customers did, but understanding why they did it (and how to influence what they do next) requires a deeper blend of insights. This session is about closing that gap. Drawing from real-world experience designing and scaling products as [ZoCo Design](https://zocodesign.com/)’s CEO, [Lacey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) will share how to cut through the noise and identify the insights that actually change behavior—moving people, and moving metrics. You’ll learn: * Why understanding customer behavior is a quant and qual challenge * How to spot the signals that actually predict behavior change * Where AI accelerates insight, and where it creates distraction * How to get meaningfully closer to customers, without adding more tools This talk reframes how to evaluate performance and identify what levers actually improve it, helping your team to make smarter bets with greater confidence. Every meaningful outcome is driven by behavior change. And when you know how to design for behavior, you stop guessing, and start building things that work. **About Our Speaker** [Lacey Picazo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) is the Founder and CEO of ZoCo, a healthcare product studio that turns complex, high-stakes ideas into products that drive real-world adoption. She partners with healthcare organizations to uncover critical care delivery insights, focus product strategy through behavior design, and build solutions that patients and providers actually use.
