Many of us are now realising that in order to live more in harmony with each other and the planet we need to recognise that we humans are nature. We are not separate from or superior to the natural world, we are part of the web of life and deeply connected to the rest of the living world. In this group harmony singing workshop we will sing songs and chants from around the world which celebrate our connection with and belonging to the natural world. Though we have been a destructive force on this planet, we humans also know how to be stewards of the land. Singing in harmony helps us to reconnect to our sense of togetherness and belonging and helps us tune in to our connection to the rest of the living world. All welcome – women, men and older kids who like singing. You don’t need any singing or voice-work experience as it isn’t about talent, it is about participation. This is a relaxed, inclusive, friendly and safe space, with no right or wrong way to use the voice. Adults of all ages, orientations, backgrounds and abilities are welcome. Singing is a wonderful way to feel connected to oneself and others. This group singing workshop will help you find joy, connection, harmony and oneness. Through simple vocal exercises, movements and inspiring and empowering chants and songs from around the world, we will sing our cares away, have fun and express ourselves. You will leave renewed and uplifted, and with a deep sense of belonging and community. Click [here](https://fullcirclechange.ie/offerings/self-care/singing/) to learn more about the style of singing at this workshop. Harmony singing is extremely beneficial to our physical, mental and spiritual health and wellbeing, and you will leave feeling recharged, grounded, and uplifted. Please book a ticket in advance [here](https://fullcirclechange.ie/event/we-are-nature-singing-workshop/). Prices from €45/40 concessions or €70 for 2 people booking together

Vision Language Models (VLMs) such as LLaVA, Qwen-VL, Nemotron VL and GPT-4o have unlocked a new era in AI where language and sight converge into a single reasoning system. These models can describe images, answer visual questions, read documents, and interpret charts — but their true power emerges when you fine-tune them on domain-specific data, teaching them to see and reason about the visual world that matters to you. In this hands-on session, we walk through the full fine-tuning pipeline for vision-language models. We begin by understanding how these architectures work — how a visual encoder like CLIP or SigLIP is coupled with a large language model through a projection layer, and how the interplay between image tokens and text tokens enables multimodal reasoning. We then move into the practical side: preparing image-text datasets, choosing the right fine-tuning strategy (full fine-tuning vs. LoRA vs. QLoRA), configuring training with frameworks like Hugging Face Transformers and PEFT, and evaluating results on real-world benchmarks. We will also discuss when and why fine-tuning a VLM is the right approach compared to alternatives like prompt engineering or retrieval-augmented generation, and how to avoid common pitfalls such as catastrophic forgetting, overfitting on small visual datasets, and misaligned image-text pairs. Bring your laptop, your curiosity, and — if you have one — a dataset you would like to try. By the end of the session you will have a clear, reproducible workflow for adapting any open-source vision-language model to a custom task. \*\*📅 Open to all levels — no prerequisites, just curiosity.\*\*

**🌸 Zoom-Hosted Speed Dating for Real Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown People — Hosted Live** During the session, you'll move through curated Zoom speed rounds with people from Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown sorted by age and compatibility, with a dedicated host managing each round. Right after registering, you take a quick personality and preferences survey — the results from that questionnaire to pair you intelligently with Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown locals, so the chemistry in each round is not left to chance. When it is all done, we let mutual matches know — shared only when both sides chose each other — and the conversation continues on your terms. **Choose your age range below:** - **Ages 18-32** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=470.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=D%C3%BAn%20Laoghaire%E2%80%93Rathdown&groupurlname=club-of-intentional-singles-seeking-depth&ar=18-32&face_v=3.0) - **Ages 30-46** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=470.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=D%C3%BAn%20Laoghaire%E2%80%93Rathdown&groupurlname=club-of-intentional-singles-seeking-depth&ar=30-46&face_v=3.0) - **Ages 40-58** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=470.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=D%C3%BAn%20Laoghaire%E2%80%93Rathdown&groupurlname=club-of-intentional-singles-seeking-depth&ar=40-58&face_v=3.0) - **Ages 55+** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=470.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=D%C3%BAn%20Laoghaire%E2%80%93Rathdown&groupurlname=club-of-intentional-singles-seeking-depth&ar=55+&face_v=3.0) **⚠️ Your seat is not locked yet:** An rsvp on this page is not a confirmed spot, so tap your age group link above, register fully, and complete the personality matching quiz — attendance is capped so register as soon as possible, and your seat is only secure once registration is complete. --- **Who it is for:** - Individuals within Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown who have given up on shallow connections that never lead anywhere and prefer meeting people in person first. - Anyone at all from around Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown who have had enough of profiles that never convert to actual dates and are serious about meeting someone. - Members based in Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown moving beyond the app treadmill that goes in circles and are ready for a genuine first impression. **Step by step** 1. **Get started** – via your age group registration link, then finish the compatibility quiz, as both steps together confirm your attendance. 2. **Launch Zoom** – by clicking the Zoom link at the event start time, laptop phone or tablet — your choice, all work fine, and a host is live and will walk you through everything. 3. **Enjoy the rounds** – focused private rounds with Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown people sorted by age and quiz results, with round management all on the host, given that the matching was done before the evening started. 4. **See your mutual connections** – mutual match details are sent privately after the event, with unmatched selections never disclosed to anyone, and the follow-up is yours to manage however feels right. 💡 **Good to know:** prepare one or two opening questions, which takes the pressure off in the early rounds, and the host handles everything else from that point. --- ✨ It starts with one registration — pick your age group and sign up and we will see you online for this session.

**Total Eclipse of the Chart: School Redistricting Dashboards** In this presentation, we will explore the utilization of maps, sets, and SQL within a Tableau dashboard to help provide “what-if” analyses generated through the use of a mapped dashboard, providing different scenarios and the potential implications of these. While in this use case we are focused on a large school district, the concepts of utilizing existing data to explore the future impacts of modifying different geographic boundaries can be useful to many industries, balancing the mix of maps with visual analytics. **About Our Speaker** Robert Kramer is the Data Systems and State Reporting Coordinator at South Western City Schools in Grove City.

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.
