Calm and Steadiness: A Buddhist Practice Workshop in San Francisco

Calm and Steadiness: A Buddhist Practice Workshop in San Francisco

Wed, Sep 16, 6:15 PM
From Bay Area meditation group
4.8

Life gets heavy at times. Anxiety, trouble sleeping, a restlessness we cannot quite name. Many in our community turn to two practices for this, and in this workshop we will introduce both. Pure Land practice and Chan meditation work differently, but both help the mind settle and focus. What people notice is that the steadiness does not end when the session does. It carries into the rest of the day, and into how they meet whatever comes next. We will also touch briefly on what happens after death, along with other questions that come up in practice. The workshop is led by two nuns from Dharma Treasury Temple, Master XianXin and Venerable XianPu. Wednesday, September 16, 2026 11:15 AM to 12:30 PM Bethel Lutheran Church 2525 Alemany Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94112 No experience is needed. Everyone is welcome. Questions: \(628\) 280\-2720 \| [info@chanpureland.org](mailto:info@chanpureland.org)

Woodworking Workshop

Woodworking Workshop

Tue, Sep 8, 1:00 AM
From Noisebridge Hackerspace
4.8

-please read the whole updated description!- Come to work on your own projects and get some feedback from your fellow woodchucks. We have a planer, drill presses, hand tools, a table saw, and much more! ###################### **starting June 8 we will be taking a break from the intensive power tool trainings provided in previous sessions.** For the next few weeks we want to use wood night as a time for actively working on projects and designing ideas for your projects. Happy to help with some guided use of the tools, but for now no full training will be offered. If you are new to the woodshop you are still welcome to join, just know that we will not provide a full training on the tools. If you have significant experience using a Tablesaw, mitre saw, planer etc then this should not be an issue. We do have some scrap wood available, but bringing some wood for your project, especially if it is larger or more crafty, is highly encouraged. We recommend getting your wood at Lowe’s (cheaper) Discount builders supply (closer to NB) or Beronio (higher quality and carry lots of hardwoods). Please feel free to ask questions on the discord if you are unsure about what to get for your project.

Startup Pitch & Themed Networking San Francisco | Unlock Your Idea

Startup Pitch & Themed Networking San Francisco | Unlock Your Idea

Thu, Sep 10, 2:00 AM
From Startup Networking & Founder Ecosystem | San Francisco
4.7

Join founders, investors and tech talent at this curated **startup networking event in San Francisco.** Meet ambitious builders, exchange ideas and discover new opportunities in a dynamic community environment. **RSVP: [Use this link](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/startup-pitch-themed-networking-san-francisco-unlock-your-idea-tickets-1995829836768?aff=oddtdtcreator&keep_tld=true)** **Please note that RSVP is managed via Eventbrite to control attendee lists — don’t ignore it to avoid issues with on-site payment.** Most of us are in the same loop. You have an idea. You workshop it with ChatGPT, read another newsletter, tell three friends who don't quite get it. The idea stays in your head. Or worse — it never gets the kind of pushback that would have made it sharper. Research on creative work is clear: people who articulate their idea to like-minded peers begin to understand it deeper. Quality feedback isn't validation — it's the thing that changes how you see your own work. We mix the room on purpose. Different industries see the same process from different angles — that's where value compounds. We ask for your LinkedIn in registration so we can group you with the right people, not random tables. **How the evening runs (3 stages)** **Stage 1 — Themed Networking** You vote on the night's themes through the registration form (Fundraising, HR, GTM, Product, Pricing, Hiring — whichever wins the room). We group you by background. Each group's representative shares the conversation's main takeaway on stage. Featured contributors get a Featured Founder spotlight on ascentvalley.com — that's how the conversation scales across the ecosystem. **Stage 2 — Pitches** 5 curated startups present their idea for live feedback and investor introductions. After the event, we add them to our private founder database and route their application to the right investors inside the Ascent Valley network. **Stage 3 — Chill & Network** The structured part wraps. The bar stays open. The connections you started solidify here — most of our repeat attendees say this is where the real value lands. **Who's in the room** * Accelerator representatives — talent and dealflow scouts from San Francisco-based and EU-wide programs * Investors — angels, fund representatives, scouts from syndicates * Founders, Pre-seed to Series A — building across SaaS, AI, ClimateTech, FinTech, ConsumerTech * Operators — PMs, engineering leads, GTM leaders from scaling startups * Entrepreneurs across industries — fresh perspective is the point * Founders traveling through San Francisco — from Tel Aviv, Berlin, London, NYC, Lisbon nodes * Hiring leads from companies actively scaling teams **About Ascent Valley** Ascent Valley is a 3-layer ecosystem: Community, DealFlow, Events. Our mission is to break local boundaries and enable cross-region growth through real connection between founders, operators, and investors. **Philosophy: [IDEA → PROCESS → RESULT.](https://ascentvalley.com "https://ascentvalley.com")**
