THE BEST WAY TO STAY UPDATED and GET DETAILS: [Join the community reminder list](https://cocreationcommunity.com/join?origin=meetup) The events have grown and new wonderful venues are inviting us to hold events there. So the reminder list is a great way to always know where to be! Mindful Mondays are about reconnecting each of us with our own divinity and own inner creator, so we can live a more intentional life. That is exactly what we want. When we come together as a group, the energetic impact of this can magnify our intentions, and open us up to even greater inspiration for what we would like to have happen in life. These events are designed to allow for greater collaboration and connection within the conscious community and those adjacent to it while also empowering each individual to step more powerfully into their own life. No prior experience is needed for these events. Nor is any religious or spiritual affiliation, needed, though you will be guided based on what Chris has found to be true in his own studies of consciousness, spirituality, co-creation (sometimes called manifestation or law of attraction), various religions, and self improvement modalities. These events are currently by modest contribution (\~$15 is appreciated but bring or share as you can) to help support the space and keep a clean karmic energetic exchange. This is a karma-free event. There are also additional energy tools Chris uses to set the space before and after event, so that enhancement, inspiration, and alignment are what each participant walks away with. If this resonates, we hope to see you at an event soon! More people will be in attendance than on this RSVP. More than a dozen are at events. You will be in good company :) We begin on time. If you're running behind, quietly find an available seat if the meditation has begun. # **Agenda** #### **6:30pm: Doors Open** Arrive, grab a bottled water or sparkling water, meet others, and/or check out some of the books laid out related to metaphysics and intuition. #### **7pm: Intention-setting and Meditation** We start with brief introductions & intention setting then hop into a guided grounding meditation (about 12-15 min) #### **7:30pm: Intuitive Fun/Exploration** We will shift into a dynamic part of the evening when we do mini experiments in developing intuitive abilities. Previous times have included telekinesis, telepathy, energy healing, and practicing seeing/sensing the subtle energy body. #### **8pm: Social and Connection** Make new friends or enhance current relationships. This is a fun part of the evening where we can laugh and better know each other. Also a great time for inspiration and learning something new! #### **8:30pm: Parting Ways** At 8:30pm, we gather for a quick karma clearing exercise (takes 90 seconds) and then people head out. Sometimes people stick around a bit longer. Sometimes there's an invite to get food or go to another place. But it's a nice send off til we see each other again!

Join us for Monday morning coffee, crafting and conversation! Bring what ever portable project you are working on. If you are new to the craft there are usually folks to help you learn. There are a variety of coffee and tea items and a tiny selection of pastry items. Pineview Coffee Company is a small yet spacious coffee shop on the 1st floor inside the Aspen Lake Amenity building. There is only a small sign by the door that has the name of the coffee shop so it can be a little challenging to find. Hope to see you there! PS unofficially part of this group meets here every Monday so come what ever week you can.

The Council of Solace is a special meditation where we gather to direct our spiritual energy to help bring about healing and peace to the world. Many people do this as part of a daily practice in service of others and find it to be a personally enriching experience that provides them with a sense of renewal. Please join us as we gather for a noontime meditation each weekday.

Join us for a phone-free evening of creativity, conversation, and real connection. ​We’ll bring some pens, paint, pots, and a mix of random art supplies. No art skills needed, no pressure to make anything “good” or to make anything at all. Just a chance to put your phone away, and not miss it. We will also have very simple game supplies, a deck of cards, pencils and papers. Again, no pressure to participate in any of those. We’ll have phone pouches available so you can step away from screens for the evening. Expect local sparkling water, relaxed creativity, good energy, and conversation without digital distractions. ​We’re two friends in Austin creating space to step away from screens and rediscover the power of presence. This is part of Gen C (Generation Connect) a small movement toward more genuine human connection. ​Wednesday, May 20 at 6:30 PM ​Central Market North Lamar patio

**TEMS 2026 IS SOLD OUT** The waitlist is now closed. RSVP for our monthly meetups: [https://bitcoinpark.com/austin](https://bitcoinpark.com/austin) The Texas Energy & Mining Summit 2026 is a curated gathering of operators, engineers, policymakers, entrepreneurs, capital allocators, and institutional leaders who are building at the intersection of energy, compute, and capital in the most dynamic energy market in North America. We explore how Texas has become the laboratory where Silicon Valley tech innovation meets East Coast financial engineering. Hosted in the spirit of Bitcoin Park's signature summits, this gathering centers on the idea of the Energy Frontier in Laboratory Texas, and how the state's unique market structure, permitting environment, and entrepreneurial culture are redefining what's possible in energy monetization. As traditional energy producers, Bitcoin miners, ranchers, and technology innovators collaborate in unprecedented ways, Texas stands as both a proving ground and a blueprint for energy's future. **Learn more:** [https://bitcoinpark.com/tems/](https://bitcoinpark.com/tems/)

Life builds up in the body. Stress. Noise. Pressure. Emotion. Constant movement. This is your invitation to sweat some of it out. Join us for a guided meditation experience inside the infrared sauna at HOTWORX Brushy Creek — a space to soften, breathe, release, and reconnect through the combination of heat, stillness, and presence. The infrared heat helps the body open and let go. The meditation helps the mind settle. Together, they create a deeply grounding experience that many people describe as calming, cleansing, and unexpectedly emotional. **The experience includes:** * 30 minutes of guided meditation inside the infrared sauna * Breath awareness and guided presence * Space to sweat, soften, and reset * A few quiet moments to integrate afterward No meditation experience needed. Just come as you are. If you’ve never been to HOTWORX before, this is a simple and welcoming way to experience the studio—no workout required. * To keep the space intentional and comfortable, this session is limited to 5 participants. If it fills, you’re welcome to join the waitlist * Please arrive a few minutes early to complete the facility waiver **—** Guided by Sam Neseim — meditation teacher, coach, and owner of HOTWORX Brushy Creek. Sameh creates spaces where people can slow down enough to hear themselves again — integrating presence, nervous system regulation, inner awareness, and real-life leadership. Come as you are. Let the heat hold you. Let the sweat release heaviness. Return home to lightness.

**Flutter Austin x Foresight Sports - World-Class Experiences in Flutter! 🔥** GDG Austin is beyond excited to bring you another incredible event for May! We're welcoming [Kody Peterson](https://www.linkedin.com/in/kodyp/), Sr. Director of Engineering at [Foresight Sports](https://www.foresightsports.com/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=Foresight&adgroupid=192510888368&utm_campaign=FSS_GGL_Search_Brand_HeadTerm_HHI&absrc=Google&abid=778841141725&abcampid=23118136446&abgroupid=192510888368&gclid=Cj0KCQjwkYLPBhC3ARIsAIyHi3QETC8oytCjagdWYQWKC_C4CK_Hf_dNpjStrHIOsozYQW4mvujmgSoaAtOFEALw_wcB&abkwdid=kwd-297711812809&tw_source=google&tw_adid=778841141725&tw_campaign=23118136446&tw_kwdid=kwd-297711812809&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23118136446&gclid=Cj0KCQjwkYLPBhC3ARIsAIyHi3QETC8oytCjagdWYQWKC_C4CK_Hf_dNpjStrHIOsozYQW4mvujmgSoaAtOFEALw_wcB) & Flutter pioneer, to Austin for a next-level tech talk around engineering world-class experiences using Flutter. At Foresight Sports, Kody leads the teams building apps that help golfers understand and improve their game through data and visualization ⛳️ . His work lives at the intersection of hardware, software, and user experience — translating precise physical measurements into interfaces people actually trust. Most apps are built as collections of screens. But the best products feel like experiences — intentional, polished, and cohesive from the very first pixel. At Foresight Sports, their mobile app must match the precision and quality of the hardware it supports. That pressure forced Kody and his team to develop a firm belief: apps aren't collections of screens — they're experiences, and every pixel, every transition, and every moment of waiting is either serving that experience or eroding it. Living by that belief pushes an engineering team into problems that go far beyond typical application development. In this talk, Kody will work through three case studies from real production features — each one born from a design brief that had no obvious engineering answer. Some problems turned out to need less complexity than expected. Some needed architectures they had to invent. All of them required asking a question most engineering teams don't ask often enough: not "does this work?" but "will users believe it?" Along the way, Kody will explore what it really takes to translate design ambition into production software — and why the most important engineering work is often the work users never notice. Whether you are a full-time Flutter engineer, exploring the ecosystem, or just curious about where Flutter is headed, this is a rare chance to hear it straight from someone who is actively pushing its boundaries. 🍕 Food, snacks, and drinks provided (first come, first serve) 💙 Great community and conversation 🚗 Validated parking for $7 📍 Capital Factory/Station Austin - ACL Room (16th Floor) 🕡 6:30pm-8:30pm (tech talk will begin at 7pm!)
