## WRITE CLUB â 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? âïž
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. đ»
**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. đ
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. đ±
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. âïž
Basically:
people looking for a different kind of connection.
**The details:**

## WRITE CLUB â Escribir juntos, pensar juntos. Detalles
**English above đ**
ÂżAlguna vez abriste un documento en blanco, te quedaste mirĂĄndolo durante 40 minutos y de alguna manera terminaste reorganizando tus playlists de Spotify? âïž
Y sĂ.
Por eso existe esto.
Qué pasa:
Un grupo de desconocidos se sienta a escribir juntos.
Eso es bĂĄsicamente todo.
Peroooo... la verdad es que no.
Algunas semanas hacemos escritura creativa.
Historias. PoesĂa. Diario personal. Pensamientos random que todavĂa no dijiste en voz alta.
Otras semanas es algo mĂĄs prĂĄctico:
newsletters, posteos, ideas para proyectos, aplicaciones, marca personal, escritura para negocios, o cualquier cosa que vienes evitando terminar. đ»
**Al comienzo** compartimos un pequeño disparador creativo o mini input.
Algo para poner el cerebro en movimiento.
Pero nada aquĂ es estricto.
Puedes seguir la propuesta del dĂa o trabajar en lo tuyo.
Puedes escribir en tu idioma nativo o en uno que estés aprendiendo.
La idea tambiĂ©n es ayudarnos entre todos. đ
Y la parte importante:
**no estĂĄs escribiendo solo.**
Puedes hacer preguntas.
Recibir feedback.
Intercambiar ideas.
O simplemente sentarte tranquilo con un cafĂ© y finalmente concentrarte durante dos horas sin que el telĂ©fono destruya tu capacidad de atenciĂłn. đ±
**Al final**, quien quiera puede leer lo que escribiĂł.
Sin presiĂłn.
Escuchar también es participar.
**Quién viene:**
Escritores.
NĂłmades 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. âïž
BĂĄsicamente:
personas buscando una forma diferente de conectar.

Womenâs Moon Circle | Full Moon Gathering
**Women's Moon Circle \| Full Moon in Capricorn \| 29 June 2026**
*When was the last time you gave yourself space to truly pause, reflect, and reconnect, with yourself and with other women?*
It can be hard to create that space on your own, to slow down long enough to reflect, be intentional, and create a sanctuary in your life that allows for clarity and sustained direction.
The Womenâs Moon Circle is a twice-monthly gathering held around the New Moon and Full Moon, offering a steady rhythm to return to. Each gathering is an intimate space for 6-8 women to land in their bodies, step out of the pace of everyday life, and be witnessed in community.
*đ« **RSVP â ticket**. Registration is required to attend.đ See payment links in the comments or Paypal link*
---
Each circle will be loosely oriented around the theme of the moon:
\- The **Full Moon Circle** is oriented towards revealing what is complete, and asking what is ready to be released?
\- June's Full Moon in **Capricorn** is about reflecting on the structures and responsibilities shaping our lives, and asking whether the ways we are working, striving, and caring for others are truly sustainable for us.
Each circle will weave together:
âš **Ritual & Rhythm**
We use the moon cycles as a recurring invitation to pause and pay attention, using simple ritual to orient and connect to the cyclical rhythms of nature and to the ebb and flow within ourselves.
âš **Reflection & Intention**
A container to slow down, pause, and make meaning of what weâre living. Without space for reflection, life can feel fast, overwhelming, and undigested. Here, we take time to process, integrate, and savor and connect to our inner knowing of what to call in and what to release.
âš **Receiving**
Many women are good at giving, holding, and supporting others, but less comfortable with receiving. We practice what it means to ask for support and allow ourselves to be held.
âš **Relationship**
A space to reconnect with your own desires and feelings. To notice where you may be attuned to others at the expense of yourself, and to practice staying connected to your inner experience while also being in relationship with others.
It is also about community. Being IRL with women who are thinking more expansively, feeling deeper, and choosing growth instead of staying stuck in the same patterns. The kind of connection thatâs difficult to find through surface-level interactions, scrolling, or by navigating everything alone.
This is not about perfection or performance.
It is about presence, embodiment, and real connection.
For women seeking:
âą deeper conversations
âą conscious community
âą time to reflect and integrate
âą nervous system regulation and rest
âą a sense of connection and belonging, especially while building life far from home
Small group, limited spots. Held in English.

Value: 25.000p

Terapia Access Bars , sesiones individuales en LA PLATA, Buenos Aires, Argentina
ÂżTe gustarĂa eliminar de tu cabeza todo lo que te limita? ÂżTe gustarĂa estar mĂĄs alegre y atraer la abundancia a tu vida? âTodo en la vida viene a mĂ con facilidad, alegrĂa y gloriaâ.
Los pensamientos son una forma de energĂa que tienen carga elĂ©ctrica. Cuando pensamos mucho nuestro cerebro se sobrecarga, lo que hace que Ă©ste se encuentre en una frecuencia de ondas Beta. Este tipo de frecuencia nos bloquea, dificulta enormemente la relajaciĂłn y eleva el nivel de estrĂ©s con los problemas que todo esto conlleva.
Access Bars es una tĂ©cnica de aplicaciĂłn manual que consigue, mediante unos suaves toques en ciertos puntos especĂficos de la cabeza, que las ondas cerebrales cambien, pasando de ondas Beta (estado de vigilia) a ondas Theta o Delta (estados de relajaciĂłn profunda).
ÂżPero es sĂłlo eso Access Bars?
Access Bars es un proceso que activa 32 barras energĂ©ticas situadas en la cabeza. Cada una de estas barras contiene informaciĂłn sobre determinadas ĂĄreas de la vida (dinero, control, creatividad, poder, sexualidad, cuerpo, envejecimiento, alegrĂa, tristeza, etc.). La informaciĂłn 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 algĂșn 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.
ÂżSignifica eso que perderĂĄs informaciĂłn valiosa para ti? Âżque olvidarĂĄs nombres, datos importantes o recuerdos vitales? PARA NADA.
Access Bars no borra ese tipo de informaciĂłn, llamĂ©mosla objetiva, sino que, por ejemplo, harĂĄ desaparecer puntos de vista, percepciones como âlos hombres son malosâ o âhay que sufrir para conseguir lo que se quiereâ seas consciente de ellas o no. Estas ideas asentadas en tu mente estĂĄn limitando tu capacidad de recibir mucho mĂĄs de esta vida.
¿Y qué se siente después de que esas barras sean activadas en una sesión de Access Bars?
El primer sĂntoma suele ser una relajaciĂłn profunda como casi nunca antes se ha experimentado. Muchas personas se duermen durante la sesiĂłn, otras entran en un estado de entresueño, en el que parecen dormidas pero estĂĄn 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 sĂntoma suele ser una sensaciĂłn de paz y claridad mental, muy poco comĂșn para la mayorĂa de las personas.
En los dĂas siguientes a la sesiĂłn te envuelve un sentimiento de mayor seguridad y confianza en ti mismo, mayor creatividad, mĂĄs soltura y alegrĂa a la hora de relacionarte, y mĂĄs placer y dinamismo en cuanto a lo fĂsico se refiere.
ÂżY a todo el mundo le pasa lo mismo? No, esto es lo que la mayorĂa describimos, en algunos casos la experiencia ha sido incluso mejor ÂżQuieres saber quĂ© mĂĄs sucede tras una sesiĂłn?
Los pensamientos limitantes y juicios que habitaban tu cabeza comienzan a desaparecer. Dejas de actuar en funciĂłn del pasado o del miedo al futuro para vivir plenamente conectado con el presente.
Lo que antes creĂas que era difĂcil o imposible sucede con menos o ningĂșn esfuerzo de tu parte. Las posibilidades infinitas empiezan a mostrarse en tu vida y por primera vez en años vuelves a tener posibilidad de elecciĂłn (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 fåcil que parece mentira, lo sé, y tan profundo que deja boquiabierto a mås de una persona, pero cuando lo experimentes entenderås de lo que hablo.

Stop Guessing: How to Measure and Improve LLM Outputs
Most people use LLMs by feel: ask a question, read the answer, decide whether it âseems good,â and move on.
That works for casual use. It does not work when you are building software, automating workflows, writing important documents, or relying on AI for anything that needs to be repeatable.
In this talk, weâll look at how to improve and evaluate the inputs and outputs of LLMs using practical measurement techniques. Weâll cover how prompt changes affect results, how to compare outputs, how to build simple evaluation sets, and how math-based methods like similarity scoring can help you move beyond guesswork.
This will be beginner-friendly, so even if you don't know anything about AI, you should get something out of it. However, this will be a little more technical than our intro talks. You do not need to be an AI researcher, but programmers and technically curious attendees will get a lot out of it.
Weâll cover:
* Why âit looks goodâ is not enough
* How to improve prompts by changing the input, context, and constraints
* How to compare LLM outputs more systematically
* Basic evaluation techniques for accuracy, consistency, and usefulness
* How embeddings, cosine similarity, and scoring can help evaluate results
* Where automated evaluation works â and where humans still need to stay in the loop
By the end, youâll have a practical mental model for treating LLMs less like magic and more like systems you can test, measure, and improve.
LOGISTICS AND PARKING:
The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks!
The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Learning from Everyday Data
**Practical Curiosity: Learning from Everyday Data**
How do we actually get better at utilizing our day-to-day data? Fancy dashboards and complex models might look nice and draw attention, but thatâs not where most of us spend our time. In fact those shiny outputs frequently sit unused, while the real insights are drawn from the analystâs daily practice.
Sometimes itâs as simple and as powerful as noticing that a segment is shrinking, a channel is underused, or certain links keep getting all the clicks. Thereâs many different places that the spark of insight can come from, but you have to keep your head in the data and know where to look.
In this session, weâll explore real-world examples of how segmentation, testing, and click behavior can uncover practical digital marketing opportunities. Youâll leave with inspiration for your own use cases, along with a few simple ways to ask better questions, spot meaningful patterns, and make smarter decisions without overcomplicating it.
**About Our Speaker:**
[Elaine Armbruster](https://www.linkedin.com/in/elainearmbruster/) is a Director of Digital Experience at the [American Diabetes Association](https://diabetes.org/), where she focuses on using data and insights to create smarter, more effective digital experiences.

IxDA Chat n Pancakes
You can sleep in on the Sesquicentennial (observed), weâre shifting to the following Friday.
But join the local UX community for a chat and some biscuits to catch up. If you were in CA for Figma Config, tell us all the lines and you can tell me how I can animate an SVG without coding it by hand, and why Iâd even want to.
Thanks to the team at Nationwide of supporting the group.
