Creating Connection Chilliwack
Are you craving deeper connections in life? Not only with other people, but within yourself, the environment around you, the physical world you live in, the infinite universe, or The Divine itself? Our hope is to create opportunities for you to experience the connections that will allow you to find more satisfaction and wholeness in your life. Whether you feel it through your mind, your body, or inner being, deep connection eludes many of us, in part due to the noise of the distractions around us every day, like technology, social media, cultural expectations, schedules too busy to manage, and more, that can all dampen our ability to make the very connections we're craving for in our everyday lives. Through mindful, meaningful, and spiritual conversations, we hope to create a better world for all of us, one small step at a time, and our Nurturing Spirit Retreats provide an opportunity for meditation, gentle yoga, deep relaxation, spiritual conversations, and learning. We are inclusive and value each person and living being on the planet. For more information or to find a group near you, please contact Debra@CreatingConnection.ca We look forward to meeting you! \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- ***CREATING CONNECTION CANADA*** *is a network of welcoming and inclusive communities committed to sharing authentic conversation, nurturing meaningful activities, promoting holistic wellness practices, and fostering compassionate action.

Biohackers Vancouver

Abbotsford, BC

Biohackers Vancouver

With local chapters around the world, the sole purpose of Biohackers Collective (www.biohackerscollective.org) is to bring together like-minded people obsessed with the pursuit of achieving an optimized life and superhuman performance, through biohacking and self-experimentation.

We're fully primed for both health fanatics and science nerds alike: So whether you're an edge-seeking CEO, a plugged-in athlete, or an absolute beginner who's just heard of the term, you're more than welcome to come out to exchange ideas, learn or teach something, network face to face, and most of all have a good time at Vancouver's first biohacking group.

Our mission: To unlock the code of human potential, by bridging the gap between the extreme and mainstream, and making the impossible, possible. We provide a setting for multi-disciplinary discussions that go beyond self-quantification, to include the art and science of taking control of your own biology, and changing the environment inside and outside yourself, so you can perform at a level you want across various domains including mental, physical, and spiritual - all while utilizing a combination of bleeding-edge tools & technologies, time-tested strategies and earth grown nutrients.

The Meetups will host presentations, informal group gatherings and company demos. Topics include, but are not limited to:

• Nutrigenomics / Epigenetics
• Polyphasic Sleep / Sleep enhancement / Tracking
• Fasting / Intermittent / Protein Cycling
• Cryotherapy / Cold Thermogenesis
• Earthing / Grounding
• Mobility / Injury Recovery
• Fringe Technology
• Sensory Deprivation Tanks / Floating

• •Bulletproof / 4 Hour Lifestyle

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

The hype is real. Biohacking is the next big thing and has the potential to become a mass phenomenon and health revolution. It covers a current human need that is basically unmet today – the need to know what goes on inside our bodies when we’re eating, drinking, working, and moving.

So do you have a desire to not only rule yourself, but become the perfect version of yourself, gain an unfair advantage in life, maximize results, and supercharge your performance? If the answer is YES then I invite you to attend, participate, and grow with us in building a community around finding out what’s possible with our biology in the 21st century.

So, are you “Bio curious”? .

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Get involved:

I've been asked how people can get involved. Here are a few different things you can do to help out. I encourage everyone to join the conversation and let me know what topics you are most interested in, and write me with your recommendations, tips, and observations.

Follow Us - Click “like (https://www.facebook.com/biohackersmeetup/)” on the official Biohackers Facebook Page to stay in the loop and keep up to date with the hottest news, most badass articles, and sweet tips for maximizing your performance.

Attend and Discuss – Stop by and participate in future biohacking meetings. We are actively trying to build our social networks, too. Please provide your Twitter or Facebook handles should you wish to continue the conversation between meetings.

Speak or Present – We are always looking for passionate people to present on relevant topics so please contact Jamie at biohackerscollective.org or @broderickthebadass on Instagram with interest or recommendations.

Venue / Sponsor – Chip in for drinks and snacks at one of our upcoming meetings. Additionally if you have a business, office, lab, or co-working space where you would like to host a meetup, I’d love to hear from you as I’ll always be on the lookout for fresh and interesting venues.

Spread the Word – Know someone who should be a Biohackers Vancouver member? Send them the meetup page. Feel free to promote the group through any form of social media :)

Valley Indie Game Dev Collaborative

Abbotsford, BC

Valley Indie Game Dev Collaborative
Building a game on your own is a big challenge, requiring a wide range of skills beyond just coding: UX, art, sound design, story and dialogue writing, music composition, project management, marketing, etc. To add in some wrinkles to all that, there are multiple tools for each discipline and few of them are quick and easy to learn. Valley Indie Game Dev Collaborative is a space to meet for focused work sessions, network with people outside your core discipline, and expand your skill set. We welcome coders, CG artists, CG modelers, sound designers, regardless of how much experience you have or which tools you use. All you need to know is that you want to participate in creating a game! We host a variety of events including weekly in-person sprint sessions, monthly workshops, occasional social / networking events, and semi-annual online game demo events. In between events, you can hang out in our Discord server: https://discord.gg/S8r9aVut9U In order to grow a group local to the Fraser Valley, we require members to attend at least one event within the first six months of joining, and at least one event a year after that. There's no commitment to attend the sprint session every week (you're welcome to, though!), but the more frequently you attend, the more you'll find your motivation recharged, enough to keep you going on your project through the rest of the week. **Code of Conduct:** 1. Respect and encourage others in their own unique pursuits and directions. Constructive and collaborative feedback is encouraged, but must be kept positive and courteous. 2. Discrimination and bigotry are not welcome, so come with an open mind and supportive attitude. To keep things safe and productive, those in violation of this policy may be removed and banned from the group, at the discretion of the event organizers. 3. Signing up for an event and leaving the RSVP as 'Going' after two hours before an event is committing to showing up for it. If there's a schedule change, it's expected that the RSVP will be updated. No showing with less than two hours or less notice (or none at all) is discourteous, and if a pattern of it develops the individual will be removed from the group. 4. We are not here to challenge one another, game development is where we want to put that energy. Let's all get across our respective finish lines together. Happy coding!
