**New series “Empathy & Emptiness” starts 7 April**
**Tuesday 7:30pm – 9:00pm**
**No booking required. Everyone welcome.**
**Just as I wish to be free from suffering and experience only happiness, so do all other beings. In this respect, I am no different from any other being; we are all equal. \~ The New Meditation Handbook**
**Our ability to let go of our self-centered view of the world and understand the experience of others, otherwise known as compassion, is fundamental to finding fulfillment and meaning in our life. Also Buddhist teachings on emptiness, the true nature of things, help us to dissolve the barrier between self and other that makes us feel isolated, independent, and separate from other living beings.**
**Meditate on the extraordinary practice of exchanging self with others, that unifies emptiness and empathy, so as to experience this transformative wisdom in our heart. Join us for an enjoyable exploration of these ideas and gain practical tools on how to grow your experience of letting go of your ordinary sense of self—and embrace the warmth and joy of identifying with and connecting to others.**
**7/4 There is No Gap**

TUE Free Hatha Yoga - Tamar Park
\*\*\*please register your session to attend\*\*\*
Hi 👋🏼 Yogis
I am yoga instructor Sophia. As a new yoga teacher (200 YTT certified), I’m excited to share the practice of stretching and Hatha Yoga with others, guiding you through mindful breath and purposeful movement. We’ll explore foundational poses, gentle alignment, and slow, steady stretches that honor your body's limits while inviting greater flexibility and balance. My intention is to create a supportive space where we practice together, learn from each other, and cultivate calm, focus, and presence both on and off the mat. Whether you’re new to yoga or returning after a pause, we’ll move at a comfortable pace, listen to our bodies, and celebrate small progress as we grow.
FitFam is a welcoming community for fitness enthusiasts, including yoga lovers, to connect and make new friends, regardless of background or language.😇😁
The event is free. All you need to do is
* Bring your own yoga mat
* small towel to assist with stretching
* wear comfortable outfit
🩷 We’ll meet at the wood deck by the waterfront of Tamar Park. Please look for the one right after passing the big lawn of Legislative Council Complex. Arrive a few minutes early, so we can greet each other and settle in before we start moving and breathing together. If you can’t find the location, feel free to text me or leave messages in the FitFam group

Tue. Cafe Writing/Sharing Session
We are writers of all levels – beginners to published.
And we meet at STARBUCK at IFC (P2 Shop2097-2098, International Finance Centre), Central for fun writing and sharing sessions!
We all write a one-sentence prompt, then each select one at random. We write something based on the prompt for 45 minutes, after which, we share our work with each other and discuss as desired. Of course, sharing is optional but encouraged. (Feedback is always polite and respectful.)
Alternatively, you can bring your own project(s) to work on in the company of fellow writers (published and yet-to-be published). You can share your project(s), too, if you want.
It's all about creativity and productivity in a supportive environment!
Any questions, just reach out to our organizers through Meetup.

**Description:**
Generative AI tools have democratized software development, enabling both developers and non-technical users to build applications efficiently. However, these tools struggle with enterprise-level challenges: inadequate project planning, unstructured workflows, poor enterprise integration, and inconsistent code quality.
Kiro, AWS's AI IDE tool, addresses these gaps by integrating specification-driven development, structural design, test validation, and automated execution into a standardized, traceable workflow.
At re:Invent 2025, AWS launched “Kiro Powers”—extensible capability packages that inject domain-specific expertise into Kiro AI agents. Each Power provides:
\- Domain guidance via steering files \(POWER\.md\)
\- Tool integration \(MCP services for databases\, payments\, deployment\)
\- Automated Hooks for event\-driven actions \(API testing\, infrastructure code generation\)
Unlike traditional coding assistants, Kiro + Powers covers the entire development lifecycle—from requirements to deployment—while reducing token costs and ensuring consistent code quality.
We'll demonstrate Kiro's capabilities by building a game using Specs, Powers, and Hooks, showcasing its enterprise-grade advantages in planning, automation, and quality assurance.
**First come, first served if the number of attendees exceeds capacity!**

April show pitch workshop
Borders
Our host, Jenn, is looking for stories about borders.
A physical barricade. A social stigma. A self-imposed ideal. What borders have you had to cross? We’re looking for true, first-person stories about getting past whatever’s in your way, or at least trying your darndest to.
The *Borders* live storytelling show is on Thursday, 30th April. If you’ve got a story or just an idea in mind, come to one of our pitch workshops at the beginning of April. If your story is shortlisted for the show, our host will work with you as you polish and rehearse it.
📌 Story Requirements:
* Your story must be true
* It must be told in the first person—you are the main character
* It should be between 5-10 minutes
You don't need to have a completed or polished story ready - just a beginning idea is okay.
This workshop is open to individuals at all levels, first-timers or old hands.
The purpose of Hong Kong Stories is to help you become a better storyteller.
Everyone has a story to tell, and everyone loves a story.
Note: Please update your RSVP, ideally 12 hours before the event if you're unable to make it.
Repeated no shows will be moved to not-going / removed from the group to open up slot for people on the waitlist.

Agenda Details:
[1] **Jailbreaking the Ghost: Anatomy of a Secure Agent**
Time: **1:30pm - 2:30pm**
Speakers:
**Henry Wong - Data Scientist**
**Alex Au - Cloud Engineer, Hong Kong Economic Times**
Language: **Cantonese** Model: **Workshop**
Description:
We told developers "Don't paste API keys," but then we gave Agents full Python execution environments and access to production databases.
The uncomfortable truth is that most AI Agents today are just Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerabilities with a friendly personality.
In this session, we will dismantle a standard "Production Ready" Agent live on stage, demonstrating how a simple prompt injection can exfiltrate secrets. Then, we will rebuild it using Defense in Depth:
1\. Code: block malicious imports\, prompt injections\.
2\. Compute: Sandboxing for isolated workloads\.
3\. Identity: Zero Trust tool usage without worrying leakage of credentials\.
Stop building chatbots. Start building secure autonomous systems.
[2] **From Idea to Impact: A Realistic 90-day Roadmap for Launching Your First Business AI Agent**
Time: **4:00pm - 4:25pm**
Speakers:
**Henry Wong - Data Scientist**
**Alex Au - Cloud Engineer, Hong Kong Economic Times**
Language: **Cantonese** Model: **Speech**
Description:
A roadmap that takes a business from initial AI agent idea to a live, value-creating deployment in 90 days, designed for SMBs, mid-market teams and departments. This talk walks through 4 phases: rapid scoping and prep, fast prototyping, controlled piloting with metrics, and safe production launch.

Free in-person event: Take Control of Your Mental Health
It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself.
Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went?
Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence?
Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.
Prompt vs. Paintbrush
AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s?
This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation?
We encourage audience participation during this event that will be moderated by Chris Slee.
Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.
