Rainbow Body Yoga – Level 1 Online Course We warmly invite you to join the Rainbow Body Yoga Level 1 Course, a transformative practice from the Open Heart tradition. The course is taught by Amrita Rani, an ordained sangha member and trained Open Heart instructor. You are welcome to join either in person in Zgornje Gorje, Slovenia, or online via Zoom. Rainbow Body Yoga is a profound tantric non-meditation practice designed to deconstruct the selfing mechanism of the mind. Through the Guru mantras of Padmasambhava and Yeshe Tsogyal, subtle energy practices, and dynamic concentration, we cut through self-based energies that block the direct recognition of our natural state. Although regarded within the tradition as a post-awakening purification practice, you do not need to be awakened to begin. The practice itself deepens recognition of the selfless state, supporting further awakenings and the maturation of clarity. Both those who have experienced awakening shifts and those who feel called to deepen their spiritual path are warmly welcome. This carefully structured sequence works directly with the causal body, where self-based energies are stored. We examine the klesha of ignorance (avidya), the root of existential suffering. With the Guru’s blessings, RBY techniques, and vipashyana (direct seeing), even the subtlest layers of selfing can be cut through. As the practice deepens, you become familiar with the clarity and aliveness of your enlightened mind. Eventually, you recognize that wakeful awareness has always been present, even within negative thoughts and emotions. As mental clutter dissolves into the natural state, increased clarity brings deep healing. Self-sabotaging patterns can be liberated, and the energy once consumed by worry and rumination becomes available to you. Practiced consistently, Rainbow Body Yoga reveals the natural luminosity of selfless awareness and leads toward the realization of emptiness, not as a concept, but as a living experience. These precious practices were given to Amrita Baba by Padmasambhava through visionary transmission, offering a direct path beyond self-based suffering. Level 1 provides a grounded and systematic introduction, enabling you to continue confidently with your home practice. The process is powerful, deeply rewarding, and often brings tangible results relatively quickly. You’re welcome to join either of the weekend courses, or both, if you wish. However, attending just one weekend is already enough to begin practicing on your own. First Weekend Course 📅 20–21 June 2026 🕒 3:00–9:00 pm (CET) Dinner break approximately 6:00–7:30 pm each day Participation fee: Sliding scale €100–200, depending on your financial situation. Please make your payment in advance via PayPal to: kaisaeskeli@gmail.com Register by emailing Amrita Rani at kaisaeskeli@gmail.com. You will receive the Zoom link for all sessions. If you are joining in person, you will receive the address of the event location in Zgornje Gorje, Slovenia. Welcome all!

**HOW TO FIND US** Every Sunday (weather permitting), we gather in the park surrounding Trg oslobođenja, starting from 15:00. https://maps.app.goo.gl/R7LYWY1pyi1UjSjM9 Located in the heart of the city, the park offers a comfortable and accessible meeting spot. Despite being surrounded by Sarajevo’s bustling center, it provides a pleasant green space where you can sit under the trees, focus on your artwork, and enjoy a slower pace. If the weather changes unexpectedly, there are plenty of cafés nearby where you can take shelter or continue socializing. **HOW IT WORKS** These meetups are not workshops and do not have a designated host, instructor, or organizer present. They simply provide a regular time and place for people who enjoy drawing, painting, sketching, or other visual arts to meet others with similar interests. The community is self-organized, and the people who attend each week are simply whoever decides to come. Since Sketchy Collective was founded as a travelling community project, the organizers themselves are not always in Sarajevo and may not be present at the meetup. Artists of all skill levels are welcome, from complete beginners to experienced professionals. Bring your own materials and work on whatever project interests you. Attendance varies considerably from week to week. Some Sundays attract a larger group, while on others only a handful of people may attend. Occasionally, nobody may show up at all. For this reason, we encourage everyone to participate with an open mind and flexible expectations. Come because you would enjoy spending an afternoon drawing or painting in the park regardless of attendance, and treat any connections you make as a bonus. If you do meet others, feel free to introduce yourself and start sketching together. Every local creative community begins with a few people showing up consistently and helping create the atmosphere they would like to see. **STAYING CONNECTED** If you would like to stay connected with the community between meetups, you are welcome to join our WhatsApp group. chat.whatsapp.com/H4F3Gq7ud3fCYPssriBO2e After requesting to join, please send us a message through meetup, by email, or via our social media channels to let us know. We look forward to drawing with you.

Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD

We meet on the last Monday of each Month. Presentations are given by members and friends of this group. If you would like to do a presentation (small or large) on a python topic, please contact Central OH Python at centralohpython@gmail.com

Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you! **What to Expect at the Intro Circle** \~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~ Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup: * Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics Round 1 - (7 secs max): * Your name * What you're working on * What you can help others with Round 2: * Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too. Round 3: * Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool. After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!

Most people still use AI like a search box: type one question, get one answer, repeat. But the next step is AI agents: systems that can take a goal, break it into steps, use tools, remember context, and produce useful work for a human to review. In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll demystify what AI agents actually are — without hype or jargon. We’ll walk through practical examples of how agents can help with research, planning, writing, coding, operations, and personal productivity. We’ll cover: * What makes an AI “agent” instead of just a chatbot * How agents break tasks into steps * Where agents are genuinely useful today * Where they fail, hallucinate, or need human review * How to design simple AI workflows for your own work * A live demo of an AI agent-style workflow from start to finish No coding experience required. This is for anyone who wants to understand where AI tools are going and how to use them more effectively right now. 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.

**Latest Dojo Location!** **Knotty Pine Brewing** 1765 W 3rd Ave, Columbus, OH 43212 We're going to try a new dojo location for a few weeks and see how it works Dojos are informal Python group study sessions where everyone interested in Python gathers to learn about Python, help others with Python, or just hang out. Everyone is welcome from Python beginners to experts. Bringing a laptop is encouraged (we'll have extension cords and power strips). If there's something you want to learn leave a comment on this invite so we can plan ahead. We're looking for speakers for our Monthly Meetups!
