Open Heart Meditation Sessions with Amrita Rani (Live in-person and online on selected Thursdays via Zoom) You are warmly invited to join the Open Heart Meditation Sessions with Amrita Rani. These sessions are created both for beginners and seasoned practitioners who wish to deepen their meditation practice, stabilize awakening, and walk the path of enlightenment with guidance and support. Whether you are new or experienced, each gathering offers a grounded structure to help you build consistency in daily practice and grow in confidence on your spiritual path. At the heart of Open Heart teachings is direct recognition. Through the Two-Part Formula and precise meditative guidance, you are supported in shifting from self-based mode into selfless awareness, again and again, until cessation of self-based suffering takes place. A central and deeply transformative practice in Open Heart is guru yoga. Through guru yoga, the practitioner directly connects with awakened awareness through devotion, transmission, and experiential recognition. With the help of this profound method, one recognizes their true selfless ease, the natural, effortless state beyond space and time. Alongside guru yoga, the sessions include insight meditation (Vipashyana), tantric methods, dynamic concentration, trauma-healing techniques, and foundational practices such as Bodhicitta prayers. Each session includes guided meditation, space for questions, reflection, and personal support. Rani’s meditation sessions are held live on Zoom on selected Thursdays from 18:30 to 20:00 (CET). Recordings may be available for continued integration and practice on her YouTube channel, The Sweetness of Enlightenment. Participation fee: 15 € per session Please make your payment in advance via PayPal before joining, to Rani’s PayPal account: kaisaeskeli@gmail.com Upcoming Thursday Sessions for Summer Season: 14.5.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 4.6.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 11.6.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 18.6.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 25.6.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 2.7.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 9.7.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 23.7.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 30.7.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) Zoom link for all sessions: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89766267672 Welcome all!

Stress is the body’s readiness to react suddenly to difficulties and unexpected situations that provoke fear and tension. It is a state of mind in which we perceive circumstances negatively — as something we must endure, and as part of our everyday life. In our Stress-relief Meditation, we help the mind and body cope with stress, restore our energy, and develop a new relationship with stressful situations.

Meetup #2 for **Vibe Coders Croatia** — this time we're joining forces with **[UXR Zagreb](https://www.meetup.com/ux-research-zg/)**. Two communities that usually sit on opposite ends of the product — the people who *talk to users* and the people who *ship to them* — in one room for a night. The bet: vibe coders move fast and build, UX researchers know *what's actually worth building and why*. Put them together and you get a sharper loop — research that ships, and shipping that's grounded in real user evidence. Two talks, both in Croatian, one from each side of that table, then the hallway conversations where the next side project (and your next user interview) starts. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 📣 **From Insights to Infrastructure: Expanding UXR Impact with AI** AI changes how everything in software development works — including research. This talk walks through applications of AI across the research process, from organizing recruitment and analysis to bridging insight and delivery, and makes the case that researchers now have the opportunity to shift from *delivering insights* to *owning research infrastructure*. **Filip Užarević**, User Researcher * [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/filip-uzarevic-b4b87584/) \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 📣 **Is Documentation Dead or More Alive Than Ever?** AI generates docs in seconds, but the code those docs describe changes just as fast, which makes stale documentation a *bigger* problem, not a smaller one. This talk explores why the AI era demands a different approach to documentation, and looks at Tesso, a tool that connects documentation to the actual code written by AI and humans alike — so the docs and the codebase stop drifting apart. **Danijel Buhin**, Software Engineer * [LinkedIn](https://linkedin.com/in/danijelbuhin) \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 🗣️ Both talks will be held in Croatian. 📹 Not recorded or streamed this time — you have to be in the room. 🪑 There are a limited number of seats, first come, first served. 📍**Location**: **Zadarska ulica 80, 6th floor — Reactor Studio.** Use the main entrance on the right side of the building. If you're driving, the Lidl parking lot nearby is your best bet, or grab any free spot around the buildings.

Nakon duže pauze, za UXR Zagreb meetup#5 puta udružujemo snage s[ Vibe Coders Croatia](https://meetup.com/vibe-coders-croatia). Dvije zajednice koje obično sjede na suprotnim krajevima proizvoda — mi koji razgovaramo s korisnicima i oni koji ga deliveraju — u istoj prostoriji. Ono što nas spaja (kao i ostatak software development svijeta) je AI. Na ovom meetupu pričat ćemo o tome kako AI (1) mijenja i proširuje rolu researchera i (2) mijenja pristup tehničkoj dokumentaciji. \*\*\* **Raspored** 18:00 - Uvod u temu 👋 18:15 - 19:30 - Predavanja + diskusija💡 19:30 - XX:XX - Networking + drinks 🧋 \*\*\* **Sažeci predavanja** **From Insights to Infrastructure: Expanding UXR Impact with AI** AI changes how everything in software development works, including research. This talk walks through some of my applications of AI across the research process, from organizing participant recruitment and data analysis, to bridging the gap between insight and delivery. It makes the case that researchers now have the opportunity to shift from *delivering insights* to *owning research infrastructure*. **[Filip Užarević](https://www.linkedin.com/in/filip-uzarevic-b4b87584/) -** User Researcher \- \- \- \- **Is Documentation Dead or More Alive Than Ever?** AI generates docs in seconds — but the code they describe changes just as fast, which makes stale documentation a \*bigger\* problem, not a smaller one.

Speaker: **Luka Karlić** Title: **My first anniversary with Claude Code - am I still in the honeymoon phase?** In this talk, Luka will take us through his first year of (power)using Claude Code - what worked, what didn’t. How does he keep learning instead of just producing? What about critical thinking? Expect a fair amount of rambling about harness, scaffolding, memory, even brain-atrophy. Last but not least - why, to him, this is both the easiest and the hardest time to be an engineer. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- Drinks and friendly discussion afterwards at [Buzz Bar](https://maps.app.goo.gl/e8dCmPL5ZBhzua717) 🍻🍷🥤☕️

Sleep, Rest & Connection: Building Our Community Together Join us for the next gathering of The Pause Collective — a supportive meetup for neurodivergent women navigating perimenopause, menopause, burnout, overwhelm, and life transitions. Since many of us haven't yet had the opportunity to meet, we'll begin by getting to know one another and sharing what brought us to this community. We'll also explore one of the most common challenges many women experience during this season of life: sleep. Whether you're navigating insomnia, waking up in the middle of the night, racing thoughts, night sweats, exhaustion, burnout, or simply not feeling rested, you're not alone. This will be a relaxed, low-pressure coffee shop meetup focused on connection and conversation. No need to prepare anything. No pressure to share. Come as you are. Together we'll: • Introduce ourselves and get to know one another • Share what brought us to The Pause Collective • Discuss sleep, rest, and energy during perimenopause and menopause • Exchange ideas, experiences, and support • Explore what topics we'd like to discuss in future gatherings • Continue building the kind of community we'd like to create together This space is neurodivergent-affirming, self-diagnosis-friendly, and supportive of different communication styles and energy levels. Quiet participation is welcome. Listening is participating. Whether you're looking for support, learning, friendship, or simply a place where you don't have to explain yourself, you are welcome here. I look forward to meeting you. — Dawn
