What if one good conversation could change your week or even open a door you didn’t expect? In a city that’s always moving fast, it’s rare to pause, sit down, and actually connect with people beyond surface-level introductions. This is your space to do exactly that. This isn’t your typical networking event. No pressure. No awkward pitches. No “so what do you do?” as the opening line. Instead, think of it as a relaxed, welcoming coffee meetup where conversations feel natural, people are genuinely open, and connections happen effortlessly. Whether you’re new to the city, looking to expand your circle, explore fresh perspectives, or simply meet like-minded people, you’ll feel at ease here. ✨ **Why join?** Because sometimes the best opportunities don’t come from formal networking, they come from real conversations. You might meet someone who shares your mindset, your ambitions, your ideas… or someone who simply makes your day better. ✨ **Expect:** • Easy, flowing conversations • A warm, friendly, and inclusive atmosphere • A mix of interesting, open-minded individuals • Genuine connections • A space where you can be yourself, without pressure ✨ **Bonus:** While this is not a “formal networking event,” it naturally creates great networking opportunities. When conversations are real, connections are stronger, and that’s where meaningful professional relationships often begin. **🗓 Date:** 31-03-2026 (Tuesday) **⏰ Time:** 8.00 pm to 10.00 pm **📍 Venue:** Dark Door - Speciality Coffee, Sheik Zayed Rd, Dubai World Trade Centre, Dubai. 💰 **Entry Fee:** 50 AED (Coffee included) Spots are intentionally limited to keep the experience comfortable, personal, and high-quality, so please RSVP and confirm your spot in advance.

\*This is a **paid** event. RSVP on Meetup is not enough — to confirm your place, please complete your registration through our website. **\*** In a working world that demands adaptability, clear communication and steady nerves, improv offers something practical: a way to train the mind to be more responsive, grounded and open. ##### **BEING PRESENT:** Presence isn’t a performance trick — it’s a mental discipline. This session focuses on awareness, listening and genuine connection. You’ll explore exercises that build focus and help you stay steady under pressure, whether you’re working with clients, collaborating in a team or navigating daily life. These sessions draw from *Keith Johnstone’s Impro for Storytellers*, translating foundational improvisation principles into everyday skills you can actually use at work and in life. They’re open to all experience levels. Join one session or attend all three for a deeper progression. Drop in. Try it once. Or commit to the full journey. Either way, you’ll leave with tools that travel with you. [Register here](https://courtyardplayhouse.com/event/improv-drop-ins-for-personal-development-being-present-mar-2026/)

**Event Details** Online via Zoom **Timings** UAE 4:45 PM India 6:15 PM UK 1:45 PM *** ### ✨ The Experience We begin with a gentle introduction, allowing the body and mind to settle. From there, you will be guided into a dynamic meditative journey where movement, breath, and awareness come together to release suppressed energy and restore natural flow. The session concludes with optional sharing and reflection. **Flow for the Session** 4:45 – 5:00 PM: Introduction 5:00 – 6:00 PM: Kundalini Meditation Followed by Q&A (optional) *** ### 🌿 What is Active Meditation? Many of us carry deeply held emotions, unresolved experiences, and inner tension. When we sit in silence, these often rise to the surface, making stillness feel difficult. OSHO Active Meditations offer a different pathway. Through movement, shaking, and free expression, the body begins to release what has been held within. Energy begins to flow freely, rising, bringing lightness, openness, and a sense of inner freedom. From this space, silence arises naturally—effortless and deeply nourishing. *** ### 🌸 Joining Details **Zoom Meeting Link:** Click Here **Meeting ID:** 863 8210 8643 **Password:** divine *** ### 🌿 Preparation • A quiet, comfortable space • Yoga mat or soft surface • Eye mask or blindfold (optional) • An open mind and willingness to explore *** ### 🌼 Stay Connected Join our WhatsApp community: [https://chat.whatsapp.com/DLBuywCGOHl5KsbcPHjF97](https://chat.whatsapp.com/DLBuywCGOHl5KsbcPHjF97) *** If you have not received your Zoom confirmation email, kindly check your spam folder or search for the following: [hello@surekhasadana.com](mailto:hello@surekhasadana.com) *** With warmth, Surekha Sadana Holistic Health Coach Nutrition \| Functional Medicine \| Inner Work [www.surekhasadana.com](http://www.surekhasadana.com/)

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games! The idea behind improv is to create entire scenes from scratch based on a suggestion from the audience. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway*, *ComedySportz*, or *Wild 'n Out*; it could also be done to tell stories, like *Middleditch and Schwartz*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!

The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI One does not simply build reports on OLTP data. Join us on an epic journey from the depths of raw, normalized tables to the shining halls of a well-modeled star schema fit for Power BI greatness. We will demystify the differences between OLTP and OLAP, walk through star schema vs snowflake (and why Power BI has a clear favorite), and show you the compression differences between normalized and columnar storage that will make you never look at an OLTP model the same way again. We will cover the different types of dimensions, when to use them, and how to handle Slowly Changing Dimensions without losing your mind. You will leave knowing exactly how to identify a bad model, how to convert OLTP data into a clean star schema, and how to forge relationships that rule them all. Whether you are a data wizard, a curious hobbit, or somewhere in between, your models will never be the same.
