Sydney Singles Relational Lab — Facilitated Connection Experience
Wed, Oct 21, 7:00 AM**Tired of dating apps and conversations that go nowhere?** **What if meeting new people could actually feel good again?** When we started Conscious Connections, I interviewed hundreds of people about dating and connection. And I kept hearing the same things: *"I'm tired of swiping and having the same conversations over and over."* *"I just want to meet someone I can have a real connection with."* *"Dating feels so superficial these days."* *"I'm exhausted by dating apps. I want to meet people in real life."* Underneath all those frustrations was the same longing: to meet people we can be ourselves with. To laugh, feel at ease, have meaningful conversations, and discover where a genuine connection might lead. 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁. Two hours that give you energy instead of taking it. Playful, warm, alive. People often leave surprised by how quickly strangers can feel human, honest and real again. 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗥𝗦𝗩𝗣. 👉 $59 to book your place, and hear from people who've been: [https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join](https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join) Each booking is a place in our monthly Relational Lab. Your session date, time and Zoom link arrive by email within 24 hours. Booking close to a session? Go for it. We'll do our best to place you in it, or you'll join the following one. 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗜𝗦 𝗥𝗘𝗟𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗟 𝗟𝗔𝗕? A guided connection experience for singles who want more honest, playful, emotionally intelligent interaction. Less performance. Less pressure. Far less small talk. 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲. 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂. It's a facilitated relational container rooted in psychology, emotional intelligence, attachment work, social dynamics, nervous system awareness and real-world human connection, made practical enough that you can actually live it instead of reading another 50 books about it. 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗛𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗘𝗡𝗦 \- Two hours of live\, guided connection games from your own couch \- Cameras on\, everyone present: you laugh\, play\, move and engage \- Facilitated in real time by Eloah\, with 15 years of experience\, and shaped around whoever is there \- An optional in\-person gathering afterward for those who join the session\, where applicable \- A WhatsApp thread to stay connected\, where applicable 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗧𝗔𝗞𝗘 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗬𝗢𝗨 \- The felt experience of being fully yourself with people you just met \- Relational tools you carry into dates\, friendships\, family and every room you walk into \- For some\, new friends\, a whole new circle\, even a partner\. We've seen all of it grow from here\. 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗠𝗔𝗬 𝗕𝗘 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗜𝗙 \- You value growth\, and you want it to feel good\, fun and playful \- You'd rather experience something than just consume more content \- You're craving social spaces with more depth \- You want deeper connection without forced intimacy \- You're open to meeting people in a more intentional way 𝗤𝗨𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦 𝗣𝗘𝗢𝗣𝗟𝗘 𝗔𝗦𝗞 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻? For 2 hours, you step into a parallel world where strangers stop feeling like strangers. We play connection games designed to drop the small talk, meet our common humanity, and exhale into the ease of being yourself with others. For some, it's the first time they've ever felt this. You're in control at all times, choosing your edges: playful and light, or bold and deep. Often, the lighter we play, the deeper it gets. We've seen people make lifelong friends, meet partners, even heal their relationship with a parent. It isn't therapy. It's what becomes possible when a space is held this well. 𝗜 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗭𝗼𝗼𝗺 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲? Neither would we, if the only calls we'd been on were meetings that drag on or webinars where someone talks at you. This is the opposite. Everyone's camera is on, everyone's playing, and you feel connected within minutes. Facilitated with mastery, online is as powerful as being in the room. We know, because we've run both for years. You come exactly as you are, from your own couch, with no outfit, no commute and no awkward entrance. Most people leave lighter than they arrived. 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗜 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻? After the online session, you're invited to an optional gathering in person, where applicable. It's your chance to practice what you've learned out in the world, without the small talk. Eloah chooses the place and time with care, based on who was present, the weather, what's happening in the city that day, and sometimes what the group discovered about each other's passions and hobbies. 𝗗𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻? The tools are yours for life. You'll notice them on your next date, in your next hard conversation, at your next dinner with friends. People come back months later and tell us how differently they now walk into a room. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘀? Dating apps are a tool. Connection games are a tool, too. What matters is how they're designed, how we use them, and the intention we bring. Here, you're among people who chose to show up with curiosity and a genuine desire to connect. Instead of trying to impress someone through a profile or a string of messages, you experience one another in real time. You discover how people listen, laugh, express themselves, navigate vulnerability and respond to others. And you get to notice how you feel in their presence. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴? It's slow dating, and the long game is the shortcut. Instead of pairing you up, rotating you and praying for chemistry, most games are played with everyone together, so you meet each other as humans first. Many people leave with new friends, some with a whole new circle, and if more develops over time, it grows from a solid foundation. On a first date, people show their best face. Here, you see the full face, and your chances of falling for a real, imperfect human are much higher. 𝗜𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮 𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝘀𝗲𝘅𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁? This is a connection-to-self-first space. Many people who ask this have had experiences where things got sexual or romantic too fast, and it felt forced. Sexual energy is one of the most powerful energies there is, and it deserves respect. Here, you connect to all of yourself first, and then to others as whole people. You learn relational frameworks you can play as gently or as boldly as you choose. Some people arrive mending a broken heart, unsure they even want to date again. Others arrive ready for something wild and alive. Nothing is pushed on you, and you move at your own pace. 𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀? People who want more depth in how they meet others. Some are new to the city and rebuilding their circle. Some are coming out of a long relationship and wondering where to start. Many have full, busy lives and still want more. Plenty are introverts who would never walk into a bar mixer. What they share: curiosity, an open heart and readiness to meet their equals. 𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗺𝘆 𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲? Sessions are open to every adult age, so who's there changes from month to month. What people share is readiness for real connection, and that tends to matter far more than a birth year. Many say their most surprising connection was with someone they'd never have swiped on, or who would never have swiped on them. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲? Groups are kept small by design, so you're never just watching a screen full of talking heads. Connection deepens when there's room for every voice. This is also where you meet your city's introverts: you thought you knew everyone, and they've been hiding. If you happen to be the only one on the day, it becomes a private 1:1 session with Eloah, normally $319, at no extra cost to you. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 $𝟱𝟵? You're investing in an experience most people never have, held by a facilitator with 15 years of experience. One game, one moment, can change the trajectory of your life. We keep it as affordable as possible so this glimpse of what's possible can reach everyone. We tend to overestimate the cost of doing something, and underestimate the cost of not doing it. Each session takes its own shape with whoever is present. Sometimes expansive. Sometimes intimate. 𝗕𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴. 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗮𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲. 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗲𝘁. Free to RSVP. 👉 $59 to book your place: [https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join](https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join)
Data Driven or Data Distracted!
Tue, Oct 27, 7:00 AMOur CCX Sydney October event features a very lively and topical panel discussion entitled Data Driven or Data Distracted We will be applying a $10.00 cover charge to cover Food and drinks and on this occasion will be kindly hosted by the ONSET https://theonset.com.au The Onset is a specialist recruitment business deeply connected to Australia’s design and technology ecosystem. They work with ambitious companies, brilliant industry experts and a wider group of specialists across data, AI, design and transformation through The Omnia Collective. About the session **How Product, Design & Engineering actually use evidence to make decisions** How much data do we really need to make better product decisions? And when does being “data-driven” start getting in the way of good product thinking? For this CCX Sydney session, we’re bringing together four practitioners from different corners of the product ecosystem — analytics, strategy and service design, UX/CX, and engineering — to explore the role data and evidence actually play in product development and delivery. Each speaker will have **15 minutes to make their own case** for — or against — being **DATA-DRIVEN OR DATA-DISTRACTED**. Rather than presenting a single view, they’ll challenge us to look at how research, analytics, customer insight, AI, product requirements engineering and data can influence the decisions we make — from defining the problem and creating the PRD through to designing, building and releasing the product. Our speakers bring four very different perspectives: **Olga Pasikova\, Senior Analytics Director; Rob Tot\, Strategy & Service Design Lead; Thomas Shillingford\, UX \| CX \| Strategy \| AI and Author; and David Berigny\, Forward Deployed Engineer\.** Each panel member will bring their own experience, provocations and examples to the question: **when does data help us make better decisions — and when does it simply give us more information to react to?** Then we turn up the heat. Following the four presentations, **Sophie Greenfield, Senior Product & AI Designer at CBA**, will lead a lively panel discussion, bringing the speakers together to challenge each other's perspectives and explore the tensions between data, evidence, intuition, customer understanding and design judgement. Because being data-driven sounds simple. **Knowing what data to trust, what it actually means, and when to ignore it is where things get interesting.** **About our Panel:** ### Olga Pasikova **Senior Analytics Director** Olga Pasikova is a Senior Analytics Director and experienced digital analytics specialist with more than a decade working across data, analytics and digital measurement. She brings a strong ability to translate complex analytics challenges into clear strategic direction, helping teams use data to understand behaviour, measure outcomes and make better-informed decisions. Olga is also an active member of Sydney’s data and analytics community. ### Rob Tot **Strategy & Service Design Lead** Rob Tot is a Strategy and Service Design Lead who works at the intersection of customer needs, business strategy and service innovation. His work brings together strategic thinking and human-centred design to help organisations navigate complex problems, uncover opportunities and turn insight into meaningful product and service outcomes. ### Thomas Shillingford **UX \| CX \| Strategy \| AI \| Author** Thomas Shillingford is a UX and CX strategist, designer, author and speaker with extensive experience across digital products and customer experiences. His career has included work spanning research, customer journeys, interaction design, usability, design strategy and large-scale digital transformation. More recently, Thomas has been exploring the impact of AI on design practice, including how AI is changing design systems, strategy and the role of human judgement. ### David Berigny **Forward Deployed Engineer** David Berigny is a Forward Deployed Engineer working at the intersection of technology, product development and real-world customer problems. His role brings engineering directly into the product development process — translating customer and business needs into practical technical solutions, testing ideas in the field and using evidence from real-world implementation to inform what gets built and how it evolves. ### Sophie Greenfield FACILITATOR **Senior Product Designer & Facilitator** Sophie Greenfield is a Senior Product Designer at Commonwealth Bank with more than 20 years’ experience across UX, product design, research and digital strategy. Her career has spanned product strategy, customer research and experience design across organisations including CommBank, Westpac and ING Direct. Sophie has a particular interest in the intersection of **data, customer insight, product strategy and AI-enabled design**. She has been exploring and teaching AI-enabled design practices, from research synthesis and hypothesis validation to rapid prototyping and new ways of working for designers. For **DATA-DRIVEN OR DATA-DISTRACTED?**, Sophie will facilitate the conversation between our four speakers, challenging their perspectives and helping unpack the bigger question: **when does evidence genuinely improve product decisions — and when can data become a distraction from understanding the customer?** We are so excited to be wrapping up the year with this awesome panel discussion hosted by new friends of CCX Sydney, the ONSET.

🌿 Slow Dating A Unique Dating Event for Conscious Singles with Maz & Kam
Sat, Oct 24, 7:00 AM🌿 Slow Dating A Unique Dating Event for Conscious Singles with Maz & Kam **\\TICKETS MUST BE PURCHASED PRIOR TO EVENT ON EVENTBRITE\\**** This is done to ensure gender balance, and you will likely be turned away if you show up to the event without a ticket. *✨ Move Beyond Small Talk. Connect Authentically. Playfully. Meaningfully.*** Break free from the swipe-and-scroll dating scene and step into a space where genuine connection takes centre stage. Authentic Connections: Slow Dating offers a 4-hour evening of intentional, playful interactions designed to help you meet like-minded singles while exploring the art of conscious connection. Through guided activities that balance fun and depth, you'll discover what it feels like to show up fully in your interactions and experience the magic of truly being seen and understood. 🤝 A Special Collaboration I'm joining forces with Kam, a practitioner in tantric practices, somatic work and nervous system regulation, to create something neither of us could build alone. Where I bring connection through conversation, vulnerability and authentic relating, Kam brings the body. Together we're creating a space where you don't just talk your way into connection, you feel your way there too. This is conscious dating the way it was always meant to be: present, embodied and real. If you've been to one of my Authentic Connections dating event before, this one will feel noticeably different. Past events focused on connection through conversation. This edition goes further, weaving in somatic and body-based practices, nervous system regulation and mindful touch. Same warmth, same depth, but now with a whole new layer. 🌊 Intention and Flow While you might meet someone special at the event, we encourage you to embrace the evening with openness and curiosity, focusing less on outcomes and more on the journey. Start by setting your intention, whether it's to meet someone aligned with your values, practice authentic connection, or simply enjoy a meaningful evening. Then let go of expectations and allow the evening to unfold naturally. ✨ So, come laugh, connect, and discover where the evening leads! 💫 Why Attend? • Go Beyond Small Talk: Engage in activities designed to foster depth, vulnerability, and meaningful connection. • Meet Like-Minded Singles: Interact with people who share your commitment to personal growth and authentic relationships. • Enjoy a Lighthearted Evening: Experience the perfect balance of fun and depth. • Feel Inspired and Empowered: Leave feeling more confident, connected, and energised, regardless of romantic outcomes. 🔮 What to Expect This isn't a typical speed-dating event. It's a 4-hour journey of guided experiences crafted to help you connect with depth, presence and intention. Here's what's planned: 🤝 Playful Icebreakers: Start the evening with light-hearted activities to ease in and create a welcoming atmosphere. 🎲 Engaging Connection Exercises: Thoughtfully designed games that invite curiosity, build trust, and create moments of genuine connection. 🌿 Somatic and Nervous System Practices: Guided by Kam, gentle body-based practices to help you drop out of your head and into the present moment, so connection can actually land. 🤲 Light Tantric Practices: Short guided exercises that explore presence and attunement. These may include things like synchronised breathing, soft eye contact, and brief hand-to-hand connection. All practices are fully clothed, optional, and clearly guided. You are always in control. 🧘 Mindfulness and Regulation: Tools to settle your nervous system, ease social anxiety, and help you show up as your most grounded self. 💞 Romantic Connections Through Authenticity: Explore the magic of truly seeing and being seen by others. 🍓 Delicious Treats: Light refreshments to keep the energy flowing. 💌 Who Should Attend? This event is for heterosexual singles interested in conscious, meaningful relationships, looking to meet like-minded individuals in a supportive environment, and open to exploring new ways of connecting through curiosity, authenticity and presence.

Your connection and growth are my top priority. 👥 Meet Your Facilitators Maz Hey, I'm Maz. I came to Australia at 16 with no English and felt deeply out of place for a long time. By 18, life felt heavy enough that I didn't want to be here anymore. After that, I learned how to numb. Games, substances, distractions. I was alive, but not really living. Something eventually shook me awake. I realised how precious life is and that I didn't want to waste it. The path out wasn't clean or easy, but over time I let go of the habits that were keeping me disconnected and rebuilt a real relationship with myself and with life. I studied psychology for over five years and was halfway through my Master's, working as a provisional psychologist, when I chose to step away. I respect that world deeply. I also realised that what helped me most, and what many people need, are lived, relational spaces where honesty and presence are practised, not just talked about. These workshops are my way of creating those spaces. From numbness to aliveness. From disconnection to real contact. If this speaks to you, I'd be glad to hold the space with you. Kam Hey, I’m Kam. For a long time, I lived a lot in my head — analysing, overthinking, trying to get things “right”, especially when it came to relationships. I often felt disconnected from myself and unsure of how to fully express what I actually felt or needed. My work originally started in coaching and facilitation, helping people find their voice and navigate work and relationships with more clarity and confidence. But over time I realised that real connection doesn’t come from thinking more — it comes from feeling safe in your body, being present, and letting yourself be seen as you are. That led me into somatic work, nervous system regulation and tantric-inspired practices, as well as training in massage and embodied work. It’s been a big part of my own journey — learning to soften, to trust myself, and to experience connection in a way that feels real rather than performative. Dating, especially in today’s swipe culture, can feel disconnected, surface-level, and sometimes exhausting. I’m passionate about creating spaces where we can slow down, drop the masks a little, and meet each other more honestly — without pressure, without pretending. This space is an invitation to do that, together. *💬 What Past Participants Are Saying*** "I've done speed dating before and left feeling exhausted and a bit hollow. This was the complete opposite. Something about the pace and the way it was structured made everything feel real." "I walked in nervous, genuinely considering leaving. Within the first twenty minutes that completely melted away. I don't know how he does it but the room just opens up." "I've never had conversations like that with strangers, let alone on a dating night. We were actually talking about things that mattered. It felt nothing like dating and everything like connection." "Every interaction felt fresh. There was always something new to explore with each person, which never happens at regular speed dating. You actually leave knowing people, not just names." 📩 Have Questions? 📧 Email: [Masoud.katiraei1@gmail.com](mailto:Masoud.katiraei1@gmail.com) 📞 Phone: 0451 917 187 📱 Instagram: @Mazkatira 📘 Facebook: @masoud katiraei
AI that ships: building and deploying intelligent apps on Databricks
Wed, Oct 28, 6:30 AMAI is everywhere, but shipping AI that actually works - reliably, on real data, in a production app - is a different challenge. That's what this event is about. We've got talks on building and deploying intelligent apps on Databricks, a look at how AI fits into the modern data stack, and - because the best conversations in this group come from the room - time to discuss what people are actually building and where it gets hard. Vivanti Consulting are hosting us in their space, and there will be pizza and drinks. Come with a question, bring a war story, or just come curious. Speakers will be announced soon! We will be running our Open Round after the talks as well. **🧠 Open round** \- what are you actually stuck on? The part we keep hearing people come back for. We go around the room, collect the real problems people are wrestling with this quarter - migration pain, governance sprawl, streaming costs, a model nobody trusts, whatever it is - and put them to the group. Someone here has almost certainly solved your problem already. Bring one problem you'd genuinely like a second opinion on. No slides needed, no need to have it figured out. **Call for speakers** Want to talk at a future meetup? We're always after speakers — 10-minute lightning talks count, and first-timers are very welcome. Reach out via LinkedIn or message here.
