Vibe Coding the Platform: Agentic DevOps with Claude Code & Codex
LLM chat was the warm-up.
Ask a question. Copy. Paste. Tweak.
Useful — but capped.
The real shift is agentic DevOps workflows using tools like Claude Code and the OpenAI Codex App — systems that can reason across repositories, plan multi-step changes, modify infrastructure, and operate closer to how real engineers build.
This session is both 101 and 201.
If you’re new to agentic tooling, you’ll understand what’s fundamentally different from chat-based usage.
If you’re already experimenting, you’ll leave with practical agentic patterns for workflow design, context control, infrastructure changes, and avoiding unstructured vibe coding.
Not using agentic tooling in DevOps today is starting to feel like refusing to use the internet in 2003.
This isn’t about hype.
It’s about leverage.
It’s a great time to be a builder — if you build with agents.
*Come at 5:30 pm have some pizza and chat for a bit. The presentation starts at 6:00 pm.*

The real shift is happening with agentic DevOps workflows using tools like Claude Code and the OpenAI Codex App — systems that can reason across repositories, plan multi-step changes, modify infrastructure, and operate much closer to how real engineers actually build.
This session is designed for both beginners and practitioners.
You’ll walk away with practical patterns for:
• workflow design
• context management
• infrastructure changes
• reducing unstructured “vibe coding”
• building more reliable AI-assisted engineering workflows
Honestly, not using agentic tooling in DevOps today is starting to feel a bit like refusing to use the internet in 2003.
This isn’t about hype.
It’s about leverage.
And it’s an incredible time to be a builder — especially if you build with agents.

Conscious Living ~ An Experiential Community Program for Embodied Consciousness
### **“Conscious Living”**
**An Experiential Community Program for Embodied Consciousness**
**Resuming Thursday, May 21, 2026**
**On break:** June 4, 2026 **\| Summer break:** July & August 2026
**Thursdays, 7:30 PM (in person)**
**Facilitator:** Sophia Barna, M.Ed., M.S.W.
**Location: Toronto Theosophical Society,** 792 Glencairn Ave., Toronto, ON **(Basement Room)**
“Conscious Living” is a weekly experiential program that bridges the study of consciousness with the practical realities of everyday life. Rooted in the *Map of Consciousness* developed by David R. Hawkins and *A Course in Miracles (ACIM)*, this program invites participants to move beyond theory into lived, embodied awareness.
Together, we explore what it means to live “in the world, but not of it” — grounded, present, and engaged, while rooted in higher awareness.
The Map of Consciousness serves as our reference point. Each meeting focuses on a specific state of consciousness, blending study and practice so participants not only understand these states intellectually, but also learn to embody and live them in daily life.
In addition to the Map of Consciousness, A Course in Miracles (ACIM) provides a complementary framework for the program. ACIM offers practical spiritual principles for transforming perception, cultivating forgiveness, and recognizing the inner guidance of love and truth. Its teachings emphasize the shift from fear to love, the release of judgment, and the practice of conscious choice in every moment.
Our gatherings are grounded in the states of Love, Joy, and Gratitude, corresponding to the elevated energy field of 540 on the Map of Consciousness. From this frequency of openness and lightness, we come together to uplift, inspire, and grow in awareness — individually and collectively.
### **✨A Potluck for the Body, Heart, Mind & Soul🌈**
Each session is designed as a holistic experience — nourishing all dimensions of being:
* **🪷 Food for the Soul:** Guided meditation, self-reflection, and self-inquiry
* **🧠 Food for the Mind:** Lectures, presentations, and meaningful group discussions
* **✨ Food for the Body:** Embodied practices (movement and dance meditations), singing, chanting
* **💗 Food for the Heart:** Love-centered connecting and sharing
### **🌸What to Expect**
Together, we will explore different states of consciousness through:
* Lectures and presentations
* Guided meditation
* Self-reflection
* Group discussions
* Movement and dance meditation
* Singing and chanting
### **🌸What to Bring**
1. Coloured clothes — each week a specific colour (ROGVAIV rainbow sequence: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet). *This is an encouraged part of the experience, not mandatory.*
2. Silk or large dancing scarf/veil
3. Notebook, journal, or paper with pens, crayons, markers
4. Your highest vibrational presence in love, joy, and gratitude
This is a space where learning becomes lived experience — where insight meets embodiment.
*To uphold universal brotherhood without distinction and freedom of thought, all elements of the evening are invitational. Participants may opt out of any component and still be welcome, as long as we engage with one another respectfully.*
*This is a participatory series with optional components. In keeping with TTS values, you are welcome to opt in or opt out of any element, and the central expectation is mutual respect.*
### **Reference Texts**
1. Hawkins, D. R. (2012). Letting Go: The Pathway of Surrender. Carlsbad, CA: Hay House.
2. Foundation for Inner Peace. (1976). A Course in Miracles. Mill Valley, CA: Foundation for Inner Peace.
3. Barna, S. (2025). Flying Home: Soul Stories for the Little One Within. Toronto: LightPath Publishing.
**Registration:** TTS Study Groups, ts.study.to@gmail.com
Registration **optional** (for updates and materials). Walk-ins welcome.
### **About the Facilitator:**
**Sophia Barna** is an educator and facilitator with a long-standing interest in the relationship between inner life and everyday life: how spiritual principles become livable, embodied realities rather than abstract ideas. Her work bridges consciousness research, reflective inquiry, and practical methods for self-observation and inner transformation. Her background includes graduate training in education and social work, and advanced professional training in EMDR.
In “Conscious Living,” she draws on the Map of Consciousness (as developed by David R. Hawkins) and the spiritual psychology of A Course in Miracles, inviting participants to explore themes such as presence, perception, forgiveness, and the cultivation of love, joy, and gratitude through shared practice and dialogue. Her facilitation style is heart-centered, clear, and experiential, with space for participants to learn through reflection, discussion, and embodied exercises.
***Important distinction:*** While Sophia’s clinical experience, education, and skills shape how she holds the space and communicates, this series does not constitute EMDR therapy, psychotherapy or a clinical solution for mental or emotional problems. It is a group experience offered in the spirit of service and public learning, and it should not replace care from a licensed provider in a private and confidential therapeutic relationship.
French at the Royal Conservatory

**Notes and restrictions:**
The host may or may not attend this event. Attendees are encouraged to seat themselves at two or more adjacent tables, as needed. Please form groups of 6 people at each table; do not rearrange chairs and tables to accommodate more people, as this obstructs the narrow walking space.

Long way to Leslieville (13.4 km)
In order to cross 2 blocks in Leslieville, we're taking a 12.5 km detour to Tommy Thompson Park. The entire park is made from landfill and is now a haven for birdlife. We'll be visiting near sunset, when wildlife is more active. Cycling is the most common way to get around the vast park. Since we're walking, we'll focus on trails where bikes can't reach easily.
It's not just natural attractions. There's also one of Toronto's newest parks where one can watch the sun set. We won't be sticking long though as we return to Leslieville for food. The selection is eclectic, ranging from Italian to Polish to Canadian. The final stop is a brewery, with an innovative wine bar and Detroit-style pizzerias close by.
This hike is faster than usual, at 5 - 6 km/h.
**Highlights**
1. Tatsuro's (depart 6 pm)
2. Leslieville sign
3. Ashbridge Estate
4. Chick-N-Joy
5. Ashbridges Bay Wastewater Treatment Plant
6. Tommy Thompson Park Pavilion (depart 6:35 pm)
7. Tommy Thompson Park Nature Centre
8. Pond lookouts
9. Lookouts to downtown Toronto skyline
10. Bird Research Station (depart 7:22 pm)
11. Unwin Bridge / Portlands Energy Centre
12. Leslie Lookout Park (depart 8:25 pm)
13. Maple Leaf Forever Park (depart 8:42pm)
14. Gio Rana's Really Really Nice
15. Descendant Detroit Style Pizza / Completo
16. Slowhand Sourdough Pizza / Restaurant Ricky+Olivia / Avling (arrive 8:55 pm)

Average speed is 5 - 6 km/h. Limited facilities in Tommy Thompson Park.
**How it works**
Hike starts punctually. Late or can't do the whole route? Meet us at scheduled checkpoints.
We'll browse many food places but won't linger long. Grab ready-made food, or see the route in advance, organize takeout, then pickup along the way.
Not sure what to try? Join our omakase for $5, which gives a tiny sample from different restaurants. Payment on the day of event by cash or e-transfer to [globaltorontoeats@gmail.com.](http://globaltorontoeats@gmail.com.) No refunds after orders are placed. Details of sampled food will be uploaded after the hike.
Limited cutlery provided. Highly recommended to bring cutlery and containers for omakase and bringing back leftovers.

Site Building with Etch (Class 03 of 10) (FEE BASED)
**PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING IMPORTANT NOTES:**
1. The dates for this series are simply placeholders at the moment. We are working on our 2026 schedule, and adjustments are forthcoming.
2. Each class in this series has an attendance fee.
3. Each class, from BOTH a sign-up and fee perspective, is a separate entity.
4. As the Etch toolset evolves, so too will the class outline below.
**Introduction:**
Our Site Building with Etch class provides detailed instructions on the philosophy of the Etch development framework, as well as in-depth, hands-on instruction on using the Etch environment and associated tools. Anyone familiar with Kevin Geary and the Digital Gravy set of products will tell you that they offer ground-breaking approaches to professional WordPress site development.
As we write this, the Etch toolset and environment are rapidly taking shape, with weekly quantum leaps forward in WordPress development methodologies. As early investors in the Etch product offering and its development process, we are actively testing and evaluating the toolset as it takes shape. We are beyond excited to see how WordPress site development is being modernized, and can't wait to bring this course set to you. It will be a paradigm shift in page and site development within WordPress, as well as moving your development mindset light-years forward.
Join us as we explore Etch and dive deep into development approaches that will genuinely elevate your craft as a website developer and agency provider. Scalable, responsive, compliant websites are now within easy reach, and Etch provides both the platform and toolset to take you there.
**The breakdown of the 10-class series is as follows:**

Throughout the class sessions listed above, we cover the following key areas of web development with Etch:
* **Introduction to Etch Interface:**
* Familiarization with the toolset's layout and understanding how to navigate and interact with its various components.
* **Visual Site Building:**
* Techniques for creating layouts using Etch's interface, incorporating sections, divs, containers, and elements to build semantically correct page structures.
* **Styling and Design:**
* Utilizing Etch's styling approach to customize elements, apply global CSS classes for consistent design, and leverage features like Flexbox and CSS Grid for responsive layouts.
* **Dynamic Content and Custom Fields:**
* Integrating dynamic content from custom post types and custom field plugins (like ACF, Meta Box, and even built-in fields) to build data-driven websites.
* **Component Building:**
* Creating and managing reusable components for headers, footers, post type layouts, and other site-wide elements.
* **Performance Optimization:**
* Understanding how Etch contributes to fast-loading websites and implementing performance best practices.
* **Advanced Features:**
* Depending on the class level, it might delve into advanced topics such as conditional logic, interactions, and custom code integration to enable more complex functionality.
The series aims to equip participants with the skills to efficiently build, customize, and maintain WordPress websites using Etch, catering to both beginners and experienced web developers alike.
