We'll start with a gentle warm up before being guided through a series of simple exercises that invite us to connect with ourselves and others in a heartfelt and curious way.

1 EVENING Film-jam No.2
This event will be for people to meet, make a short film, come back and enjoy the results. Whatever you want to do, be it film, act, direct or even just sort of hang around at the back then this is the event for you!
Meet upstairs at The old red cow.
If you are wondering what this group can provide for you, it’s above all else friendship with other like minded people, whether you are a screenwriter, director, cameraperson, actor etc etc.
With that in mind, on Saturday we will do the following:
1. We’ll meet at the Hercules Pub, 2 Kennington Road, SE1 7BL.
2. We’ll split into several groups
3. Each team will try make a film using a prop and a random line of dialogue by 10pm that very same evening!
BUT
4. Each team must make a 1 minute 30 seconds film on the way with a beginning middle and end, a solid story arc for the main character, etc.
Remember to bring:
1. You and your enthusiasm
2. A camera (iPhones dslrs whatever)
3. Someone willing to do an edit after we arrive back at the on their computers
All teams will then sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labour, happy with what they have learnt!
The first team that finishes gets a Small Prize!
Hopefully then, you will stick around to have a great time chatting about film, meeting new people, and forgetting about work until the late hours.
Look forward to seeing you there!

Transforming sex to Eros - a talk on tantra, community and transformation
**Transforming from Sex to Eros: Life Inside a Tantric Spiritual Community**
An intimate evening exploring spirituality, yoga, community, sexuality — and what it actually looks like to bring tantric practice into modern life.
This event marks the launch of *MISA: Inside Out – 15 Years With the Black Sheep of Yoga*, a first-hand account of life inside one of Europe’s largest and most controversial spiritual movements.
After 15 years immersed in this world, Kieran Dowling shares insights drawn directly from lived experience. These practices often make headlines, but are rarely explored with any real depth or nuance. This evening offers a more grounded, less sensational look inside.
In conversation with former BBC reporter Stuart Maister, we’ll explore:
* what daily life inside a spiritual community really looks like
* tantric practices and the process of initiation
* the balance between guidance and personal autonomy
* why people are drawn to these paths — and why they stay
The second half opens up into an honest, open Q&A — a space to ask about topics that are usually kept at the edges.
**A note:** we’ll aim to touch on all of the above, but the conversation will be organic rather than scripted — so we’ll follow what feels most alive in the room.
Light refreshments will be served, and copies of the book will be available on the night.
**Places are limited to keep the evening intimate — RSVP required.**
**[SECURE YOUR SPOT](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1987331158994?aff=oddtdtcreator)**
Filming or recording is not permitted.

Casual Boardgames - make friends, then beat them in games
Welcome to Casual Boardgames, where we enjoy classic tabletop games and social deduction games while bonding over good food, drinks, and great conversations.
We started this group to meet new people and make new friends, and bonding over games in a relaxed atmosphere is a great way to do that.
We currently meet near route 23 and Polaris Parkway, and this is close to areas like Powell, Lewis Center, Worthington, and parts of Westerville and Columbus.
Feel free to bring your own games or play one of the many games our members bring. If you are inexperienced, we will help you learn.
Here are just a few examples of the kind of games we play.
Tabletop/board games: Splendor, Catan, Azul, Dominion, 7 Wonders…
Social deduction games: Code Names, Chameleon, Werewords…
IMPORTANT:
1. While we love playing a variety of games and competing, we are not just about the games. We interact and talk while playing, and this leads to a lot of laughter and fun. If you just want to compete and focus solely on the game, then this is probably not the group you are looking for.
2. Many people join groups like this and never (or rarely) show up after weeks or months. If you join and never really come, we will eventually remove you from the group as a courtesy to our members. Why? Because limiting group conversations (on the app) to regular members makes communication and planning much easier. Also, while it may be rare, it protects members from people who join because they are interested in following a person instead of having a real interest in our group. If you get removed, it is just because you haven’t come, and we follow this protocol as a courtesy to our regular game players.
CBusData - Practical AI for Power BI Developers
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.

You can!
The secret to success relies on your ability or inability to effectively communicate. Attend a free seminar and gain a better ability to communicate.

* Has 5 extra hours per week to dedicate to a meaningful cause for at least one year. Yes, you can leave any organization at any time and we can also ask you to leave, but we are building with legacy in mind and we need people who can commit and be ALL IN on this mission to build with us.

Our Outdoor Movement Groups are made possible through a donation-based model.
