Meet New People in Toronto | Comfort Kitchen Social
**Meet new people over great food in a relaxed, social setting.**
This is a small-group social dining experience for people who enjoy good food, good conversation, and expanding their circle in a natural way. Everyone attending is there to meet others — no pressure, no awkward networking.
**What to expect**
* A small group (usually 4–8 people)
* A friendly, low-pressure atmosphere
* Easy, natural conversation
**How it works**
We coordinate the group and reserve the table once attendees confirm. The venue and details are shared with the group beforehand.
Just show up, order what you like, and enjoy the experience. Each guest covers their own food and drinks.

Bigger, Better, Bolder Miss Bachata & Miss Salsa
**Welcome to Miss Bachata & Miss Salsa!**
**Spring is in the air, and with it comes the promise of new beginnings, fresh energy, and the joy of connection!** As the season of renewal unfolds, we invite you to step into the rhythm of community, dance, and celebration at Miss Bachata & Miss Salsa.
My objective has always been to create a different kind of social gathering—one that is open, non-judgmental, and safe. A place where you can meet people just like you, where socializing and dancing come together to help build community and tear down the walls that separate us. Here, we make new friends, feel a sense of belonging, and enjoy the calmness that comes from knowing we are in a safe and welcoming space.
Many times, I have been asked, “Why host an event on Monday night?” Many people escape on the weekend and dread Mondays when they return to work. I believe that if you dance and socialize on a Monday, you infuse your week with joy and positive energy, giving your life balance and helping you face your challenges with enthusiasm and confidence.
We’re also thrilled to announce that our trial of advanced Bachata lessons, which began last September, has been a resounding success! Building on this momentum, we’re excited to offer an enhanced schedule for 2026. Our dance evenings will now feature three hours of classes: one hour of beginner to intermediate Bachata, one hour of advanced Bachata, and one hour of beginner to intermediate Salsa. As always, the entrance fee remains $15 for a night of 2 lessons and social dancing. For those interested in the advanced Bachata lessons, there will be an additional $5 fee.
Here’s our updated schedule:
**Miss Bachata – Main Ballroom**
🕖 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm: Beginner to Intermediate Bachata Lesson (No partner required)
🕗 8:00 pm – 12:00 am: Social Dancing
**Miss Salsa – Round Room**
🕖 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm: Advanced Bachata Lesson (+$5) **NEW**
🕗 8:00 pm – 9:00 pm: Beginner to Intermediate Salsa Lesson
🕘 9:00 pm – 12:00 am: Social Dancing
✨ **Additional Details:**
✔️ Free Parking
✔️ Full Bar (Free Water, Beer: $5.75)
Over the past decade, organizing Latin dancing events in Mississauga has been a labor of love. Our mission has always been to foster a sense of community, proving that the connections we share are far stronger than the differences that divide us.
Loneliness is a growing concern, with over half of U.S. adults and many Canadians experiencing its effects. The COVID-19 pandemic has only heightened this issue. Harvard University's long-term study on happiness, which began in 1938, highlights the detrimental impact of loneliness on health. People with strong social connections experience slower mental and physical decline and greater overall happiness compared to those who are isolated.
Here are some key findings from the study:
🌿 Close ties help delay mental and physical decline more than money, fame, social class, IQ, or genetics.
🌿 Relationship satisfaction is a better predictor of aging well than cholesterol levels in middle age.
🌿 A strong sense of community improves memory function.
🌿 Loneliness can be as harmful to health as smoking or alcoholism.
And there’s hope! Strengthening our relationships and supporting community initiatives can combat loneliness and build healthier, happier lives. Miss Bachata & Miss Salsa provides a wonderful opportunity to make new friends, expand your social circle, and enjoy a safe, welcoming, authentic environment. Bring your open heart and a smile, and we’ll take care of the rest.
🌸 **Cheers to a season of renewal, joy, and community!** 🌸

Regulatory Markets: the Future of AI Governance
**This is a ticketed event. Please register at [this link](https://luma.com/qzxavbjl).**
Most AI governance proposals land in one of two failure modes: command-and-control regulation that can't keep pace with the technology, or heavy delegation to industry that leaves values-based decisions in private hands. In a 2023 paper, Gillian Hadfield and Jack Clark propose a third path: regulatory markets, where governments license private regulators and require AI companies to purchase regulatory services from them.
Kathrin Gardhouse will walk us through the paper's core argument and what it would actually mean in practice: how regulatory markets differ from existing approaches, what problems they solve, and what they might get wrong.
**Event Schedule**
6:00 to 6:30 - Food and introductions
6:30 to 7:30 - Presentation and Q&A
7:30 to 9:00 - Open Discussions
Transformational Healing Mushroom Medicine Ceremony
**Transformational Healing Mushroom Medicine Ceremony**
**"Galactic Golden Healing Light"**
***Saturday, May 16th,***
***and/or June 6th, 2026***
*Let your past unwind in the present, releasing shame and cultivating courage as you learn to deeply love yourself for who you are & who you have become.*
*Remember the Creative Being You Are & The Power You Hold to Live Life Anew in Every Moment*
*This ceremony will be held at the beautiful 'Soul Sanctuary'*
*studio in Leslieville, Toronto*
**Hosted by Chris Dub & Marda Sperber**
\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~
**Join us, dear Soul.**
This ceremony will support you to nurture and strengthen the new pathways you are choosing to take mentally, physically and spiritually to ensure you are a living a life that feels in rhythm with your body and soul. Receive the support you need to let go of the pain, hurt, sense of unworthiness & not enoughness, as well as the struggle we can all feel victim to at times.
Immerse yourself into a space of love, forgiveness, and compassion, unlearning the ways you've been taught to judge your *very* human emotions and thoughts. ***You deserve to feel the love and support that's all around you, so you can bring forward the gifts and purpose you came here to share.***
The mind can be sticky, but when you experience genuine love it clarifies any confusion of who you truly are. ***This ceremony is an opportunity for just that: to open up to the authentic love that is innate within you, which opens up your heart, and helps you gain control of the mind.***
**Energies that could potentially arise in ceremony**
**Shamanic medicine ceremonies may open access to a wide range of emotional, somatic, energetic, and spiritual experiences. Each journey is unique, and all expressions are welcomed within a container of safety, consent, and compassionate presence.**
\*\***Energies that may arise:**\*\*
* Emotional release such as grief, joy, anger, relief, or deep peace
* Memories or imprints from early life, ancestral lineages, or collective experiences
* Somatic sensations including trembling, heat, cold, expansion, or energy moving through the body
* Kundalini life-force activation, energetic attunements, and realignmentEncounters with inner archetypes, sacred geometry, spirit guides, animal allies, or symbolic imagery
* Awareness of repetitive patterns or subconscious conditioning
* Messages from past loved ones or benevolent guiding energies
* States of expanded awareness, unity, stillness, or heightened intuition
* Heart opening, deep surrender, electromagnetic field expansion, and embodied presence
***All energies arise only as each participant is ready to meet them and are supported within a regulated, grounded, and loving field.***
**Truly forgive yourself, learning to love the darker aspects that are rising to be seen and witnessed.**
Cultivate a deeper love for the past versions of you, as well as others who have negatively impacted you. Gratitude is the open door to freedom, and ***when you recognize the gifts of the lessons life has given you - it becomes easier to let go of the anger, resentment, and regret***. As you unravel what has been tight within you, there is a natural alchemy that takes place within the body. Energy blocks and stagnation are unfurled, allowing you to open to more love, and the flow of vital life force energy. ***You will feel a loving space to heal and process through old traumas, ancestral karma, and become more astutely aware of ego identification, leading to more freedom, peace, and simplicity.***
**Release negative thought patterns, rewiring your nervous system for peace, harmony, and balance.**
Be held in safe space so you can look at the negative thoughts and limiting beliefs that hold you back from feeling your freest, clearest, most alive and fully expressed self. Regulate your system through the awareness of breath, body (all levels - mental, emotional, physical & energetic), your 5 senses, and extrasensory perceptions. ***As you re-balance and re-align your system you will be able to see your internal experience more clearly, and also recognize why other people are the way they are, allowing you to have more compassion and forgiveness both for others and yourself.*** The more ***aware*** you are, the better ***regulated*** you are, and from that space you can become the master of your domain.
You deserve the space and time to simply be, rest, rejuvenate, and feel the aliveness of living life moment by moment for YOU!
**You are fully supported throughout the entire journey.**
This ceremony includes the optional combination of pure MDMA along with the psilocybin mushrooms. We have found these medicines work very synergistically together, and offer an amplified level of heart opening. The pure MDMA is optional, and the dosing for both medicines will be based upon your intentions, disposition, prior experience, and current state at the time of the ceremony.
After this ceremony you will feel more love for yourself and others, with a heightened sense of courage, strength, and integrity. ***You will want to make better choices, and also have the self-awareness needed to stay accountable to yourself.*** This level of love and clarity will emanate out to reach and impact all those closest to you.
**This is an invitation to open up your heart, and love and forgive yourself through unconditional acceptance. To awaken to your divinity and beauty, and access your greatest gifts of self-healing and conscious creatorship.**
**\~ Ceremony Preparation & Integration \~**
Prior to the ceremony you will receive an in-depth **plant medicine workbook** to help you prepare, questions to ask yourself and a recommended diet to support your experience.
We will meet as a group before the ceremony for an **Intention Setting Call**, to connect with each other and share our intentions for the journey. You will also receive a **nervous system regulating practice** that supports in expanding internal awareness, grounding, centering and overall mindfulness.
Following the Ceremony we will have an **Integration Call** to support and hold space for continued breakthroughs, challenges and dream weaving.

**Mushroom Medicine Testimonials**
"I turned to Soul Guided after my low-simmering depression and grief became more and more acute. The two guided psilocybin ceremonies that I took part in have been transformative. I feel like I've moved forward in a huge, miraculous leap and am now able to enjoy my days with far more resilience and joy.
I now wake up without the anxiety in the pit of my stomach, without the feeling of gloom at another day. I have a deep sense that I'm ok and can face life's challenges and this toxic world with renewed strength. These ceremonies have lead to shedding of the brittle mental ruts that constrained my ability to thrive and have given me a far deeper feeling of connection to the people I love and the natural world around me.
I have used psilocybin a few times in the past — but without guides. Jen and Chris Dub quickly establish a deep foundation of trust. They are gifted, compassionate, creative healers — and consummate musicians as well, creating magical soundscapes and offering deeply informed mystical guidance that has led me to a spiritual awareness that I never had before."

How Companies Get Nationalized — and What It Means for AI
**This is a ticketed event. Please register at [this link](https://luma.com/2eq29bip).**
Proposals to nationalize AI development keep surfacing — whether driven by fears of AGI-related loss of control, or by national security logic like an "AI Manhattan Project." But these discussions rarely engage with how nationalization actually works in practice.
Join Jason Yung at Trajectory Labs as he draws on the history of nationalization — its triggers, mechanisms, and consequences — to build a grounded picture of how nationalizing an AI company might actually unfold

Bhagavad Gita Study Group
### Bhagavad Gita Study Group
**Planned Start Date:** Wednesday, March 11, 2026
**Wednesdays\, 7:00 PM \- 9:00 PM \| Ongoing**
**Where:** Toronto Theosophical Society, 792 Glencairn Ave, Toronto, ON
**Format:** In-person (Zoom considered for special circumstances)
**Main Text (free PDF):** *[Bhagavad-Gītā As It Is](https://www.prabhupada-books.de/pdf/Bhagavad-gita-As-It-Is.pdf)* by **H.D.G. Abhay Charanaravinda Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada**
Physical books are available in exchange for donation.
This weekly study group offers an opportunity to explore the **Bhagavad Gita**, one of the foundational texts of **Vedic philosophy**, through sustained reading, reflection, and thoughtful dialogue.
The Bhagavad Gita addresses fundamental questions of **consciousness, duty, freedom**, and **the nature of reality**. Presented as a dialogue between the warrior Arjuna and Sri Krishna, it offers insight into paths of **knowledge, devotion**, and **action**—and examines how these integrate within human life and spiritual development.
The approach will be:
* Textual study combined with open discussion and inquiry
* Exploration of Vedic philosophy, cosmology, and psychology
* Question-and-answer format to support understanding
* A complete picture of the cultural and spiritual context
This group is suitable for:
* Those new to the Bhagavad Gita or Vedic philosophy
* Students continuing their study of Eastern spiritual traditions
* Anyone interested in consciousness, ethics, and the structure of reality
* Participants seeking grounded philosophical inquiry alongside spiritual exploration
**No prior background is required**—only openness, curiosity, and a willingness to engage thoughtfully with the material.
***
**About the Teacher**
**Radhikatma Prabhu** is a disciple in the **Brahma Sampradaya**, one of four authorized Vedic lineages. He received second-level initiation from his spiritual master, **Tamal Krishna Goswami**, who was a direct disciple of **H.D.G.A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada**, the scholar and teacher who brought Vedic knowledge to the Western world and founded the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON).
Radhikatma Prabhu spent many years studying and practicing in **Israel, Europe and India**, where he received training in Vedic rituals and holds the traditional status of **Brahmin**. During his formation, he worked closely with Tamal Krishna Goswami, who in addition to his spiritual leadership was an accomplished academic, holding a **B.A. in Religious Studies** and a **Ph.D. from Cambridge University**, where he authored nine volumes of scholarly work. This period of close service deepened Radhikatma Prabhu's understanding of both the **devotional and philosophical dimensions** of the tradition.
He brings to this study group both the authenticity of traditional lineage transmission and the ability to make these teachings **accessible and relevant** to contemporary students seeking to understand Vedic philosophy and apply it.

CMG Gives Back: Serve Brunch at FAITH MISSION GRANT KITCHEN!
Join us as we get together to get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event! We have a great little community of Movie Group friends so rather than see a movie this time, we’ll help “create a better world” by helping serve those in need. Here are complete details and our plan for this event:
FAITH MISSION – GRANT KITCHEN: The Faith Mission kitchen and dining room serves residents 3 meals a day, every day of the year. For this event, our group will help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents in the dining room, wash dishes, and clean surfaces.
PLAN: We will be preparing / serving / cleaning for BRUNCH from 10:30am to 12:30pm and have space for a total of 7 volunteers. Please arrive at 10:20am and wear closed-toe shoes and long pants.
LOCATION: Faith Mission – Grant Kitchen is located at 245 N. Grant Ave. Enter the kitchen at Dock 1 (in the back of the building), indicated in the attached map. On-site parking in the adjacent lot and street parking is available in the surrounding area. Below are some links / attachments with additional info/details:
IMPORTANT REMINDER: Our group will be providing all of the volunteers on this day so a firm RSVP count is essential. Please only sign up if you are certain you’ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please try to update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. With few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1
week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve. Our Partner Agency for this event is Lutheran Social Services! A huge THANK YOU to all of YOU for volunteering at this (and any of our previous) CMG Gives Back events!
Should be another good/fun/meaningful time together, Dan
