<h3>Advanced Python training course description</h3>
 This course caters to network engineers aiming to
enhance both their Python proficiency and network
automation skills. Delving deeper into key areas such
as netmiko, Nornir, and ncclient, we also focus on
automating network testing and validation. Participants
gain greater confidence working with Python functions,
classes, objects, and error handling. The course
additionally introduces more libraries like Scrapli, TTP,
pyATS, Genie, pybatfish, and Suzieq, which cover
parsing strategies, automation testing, validation,
network analysis, observability, and telemetry. The
curriculum also encompasses concurrency techniques.

Life is hectic. Finding time out feels almost impossible. We want to pray, we want to reflect, but when we do find a snatched moment to ourselves, we remain distracted.
I've designed this space to help you reconnect with your breath, to gently stretch your body, and to listen... to the voice of your inner wisdom, and to the voice of your Beloved. 
We will meditate with scripture, we will journal, we will use creative means to listen to the Spirit.
We will sit with Love.
I hope you will come away feeling centred, refreshed and assured of your belovedness.
 Two hours, on Zoom.
"Come away with me to a quiet place"

The sessions will be shaped around the following themes this year:
October: Teresa of Avila
November: Letting Go
December: Advent / Expectant Hope
January: The Gifts of Winter Darkness
February: Love
March: Lent
April: No Session
May: Resurrection / Spring
June: TBC

July: The Gifts of Summer

August: No Session


You are invited to participate from the comfort of your own home. Ideally you'll be able to find a little space where you won't be interrupted. You might wish to ask those you share space with to help you protect this time by respecting your privacy.
All who sign up will be sent a link to the recording of the retreat which will remain live until the following session. If you would like to participate via recording, simply register for the event. It would be great if you could let me know that you won't be with us in real time.
