**WHAT THE ORGANISERS SAY:**
**\*\*\*\*\*** *"I’ve been connected with Anamarta’s work for over seven years, beginning with my first Jade Egg Initiation workshop, a time that quietly marked a turning point in my life. I met my now fiancé the very night that workshop finished, and it feels meaningful that her teachings have been woven through so many important chapters since.*
*The Jade Egg work and Kuan Yin QiGong have cultivated a strong sense of self-awareness, compassion, and embodied presence. The practical benefits of developing a consistent QiGong practice have been incredibly nourishing, physically, emotionally, and energetically.*
*Completing her Kuan Yin QiGong and Tai Chi teacher trainings immersion retreats deepened my relationship with both my practice and my body.*
*Coming together in circle with other women under Anamarta’s guidance is always a joy. She holds space with warmth, clarity, and integrity, grounded in years of lived experience and devotion to her path. There is a safety in her teaching that allows real growth and exploration.*
***I wholeheartedly recommend her work to any woman wishing to explore her feminine empowerment in a supportive, grounded, and deeply respectful environment***\*."\*
Roísín Healy - Acupuncturist & Naturopath
**\*\*\*\*\*** *"Working with Anamarta and the Taoist inner sexual alchemy and jade egg practice has been deeply life-changing for me. This work supported me in feeling stronger, more confident, and more connected to myself in a way that feels both embodied and heart opening.*
*What I really trust about Anamarta is that she truly knows what she is sharing. Her guidance comes from lived experience, deep study, and a sincere respect for the feminine body and its wisdom. Being held in her space allowed me to soften, listen inwardly, and develop a much deeper relationship with my own body and inner world.*
*This practice has helped me step into my feminine power with more presence and authenticity. It has strengthened my sense of self, opened my heart, and brought a level of embodiment that I didn’t realise I was missing. The confidence that comes from this work feels rooted and real, not forced.*
***I believe this practice is incredibly valuable for any woman who wants to deepen her connection to herself, feel more at home in her body, and cultivate a grounded sense of feminine strength.*** *Learning with Anamarta has been a profound gift, and I am deeply grateful for the journey*."

**ABOUT ME, Anamarta & The JADE EGG HOLISTIC PRACTICE:**
The trigger to empower myself as a woman was a diagnosed incurable hormonal condition. Then I found I could heal it! My story of seeking balance began two decades ago. Nowadays many women have had amazing healing and empowering experiences with this practice.
For those new to this space, a bit more about me on the foot of this event.
**The [JADE EGG HOLISTIC PRACTICE](https://www.jadecircleanamarta.com/jade-egg-holistic-practice/)**
A unique method that addresses all levels of being. Anchored in my shamanic background and two decades of experience in crystal healing. It has kept refining and evolving over the past nineteen years. Presenting the [Jade Egg](https://www.jadecircleanamarta.com/jade-circle-shop/) as a transformational healing tool. It is the culmination of my devotion to the Yin Taoist Practices and Alchemy Secrets. With the commitment to revive the Jade Priestess Lineage and the Dragon Mystic Codes.
**[ANAMARTA](https://www.jadecircleanamarta.com/anamarta/)**
*Called a Trailblazer in Feminine Empowerment, a Visionary, and a Spiritual Midwife. A Taoist Master by the Independent Newspaper.*
Initiated by my grandmother into the family lineage of Medicine Women. I dedicate my life to helping women access their radiant health and self-empowerment. I’m a pioneer of the Tao of Feminine Empowerment. I qualified as a Taoist Master Trainer from Healing Tao UK. And became an Advanced Instructor of the Tai Chi Union for Great Britain.
Teaching the Jade Egg Holistic Practice & Kuan Yin Qigong for most of my adult life. I teach ongoing monthly circles, online courses, weekend workshops, and week-long retreats. Women describe these experiences as life-enhancing and for many life-changing.
An honour and a joy to hold this sacred space for many thousands of women around the world. Then when the Jade Temple Online started, the world gathered in one place. In the same spirit of love and what I’d like to call sisterhood medicine.
Since its birth in London in 2007, the Jade Circle® has visited 14 countries over four continents. I'm grateful for the numerous places that have hosted me.

***[Get your Tickets](https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/date-my-mate-powerpoint-night-21-35-years-tickets-1988237863973)***
Welcome to **Date My Mate**, a two-hour event where confidence is optional and friendship is mandatory. Instead of awkward small talk, we’re handing you the clicker.
Participants will have **three and a half minutes** to present a powerpoint pitching their friend to a room full of potential suiters. Think: green flags, red flags, fun facts, embarrassing photos (used lovingly), and why this person is an absolute catch.
**How it works:**
* Purchase a ticket to attend the event

Ready to pitch perfection? 💘📈
Come alone to meet somebody new, or bring a friend!

**What should my presentation include?**
Show off your friend in the best light possible. Some pictures, their hobbies, what they think is the perfect date. Maybe even some of their unusal habits. Keep it fun and lighthearted and love will follow...!
**Can I come alone?**
Absolutely! Come alone and meet the love of your life or bring a friend to help them meet theirs.
**Do I have to pitch?**
Nope, not everybody needs to pitch somebody. We will be selecting a few people to pitch their friends and everybody else can enjoy the presentations!
**My friend can't make it, can I still pitch them?**
We want everybody that is being pitched to attend the event so that they can meet their potential suiters on the night, so yes they must be in attendance.
**Does everybody need a ticket?**
Yes, everybody that plans to come needs a ticket, whether presenting, being presented or just a spectator.
**What is the age range?**
This particular event is for those aged 21 to 35 years.

**Abstract**
Like it or not, AI agents are now capable of turning a quickly written paragraph of requirements into a pull request that is ready to be integrated into real-world production applications and it's now our responsibility to make sure AI doesn't go rogue and take down prod - or corrupt our data by misunderstanding the requirements or our existing schemas. In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod.
