Dear Sequoia Community,

Denis Galka here, thrilled to share some exciting news with you today! We warmly welcome mindfulness teacher and psychological consultant, Alexandra Rumyantseva, to our team.

🌿 Meet Alexandra:

Last year, I had the incredible opportunity to participate in Alexandra's 5-hour silent retreat—a truly transformative experience. In a world inundated with noise, that silent sanctuary allowed me to connect deeply with my thoughts and feelings, experiencing true mindfulness for the first time. Alexandra's guidance left a lasting impression, sparking a journey of self-discovery.

🧠 Alexandra's Expertise:

Bringing over five years of counseling experience and a passion for mindfulness practices, Alexandra is a valuable addition to our team. Her diverse background includes roles at esteemed centers like the "Mindup" Mindfulness Practices Center and the CBT and Mindfulness Center. Continuously evolving, she pursues ongoing education in modern techniques, showcasing her commitment to excellence in psychological counseling.

🌱 Future Endeavors:

As part of our team, Alexandra will lead our mindfulness direction. Stay tuned as we introduce a series of insightful publications on our app, diving into the psychological intricacies of attention and experience management. Additionally, we'll soon unveil affirmations tailored to enhance mental well-being, guided by personalized tracker data.

Dr. Olga Nevdah and I have long envisioned integrating such features into our app. Alexandra's passion and expertise align perfectly with this goal, igniting our excitement for the future.

Welcome aboard, Alexandra! Together, let's embark on a journey of mindfulness and personal growth. 🌿

Today we would like to share information about the new feature "Personal Recommendations", which will be available in the upcoming ‎Sequoia v1.4.5 update.

This update combines the functionality of the tracker and articles and represents the first step in integrating artificial intelligence into Sequoia.

🛠 How does it work?

The medical algorithm analyzes the data entered by the user into the tracker and matches it with articles in the knowledge library, recommending materials that may be useful to the user.

📲 Let's break it down with an example.

A user notes in the tracker that today they had protected s*x, as a result of which they did not achieve or**sm. After completing the session in the tracker, the user will see in the recommendations section an article titled "What to do if you suddenly lost your or**sm?“.

We believe that this feature will add more personalization to Sequoia and make the application even more useful for our users.

What do you think? What are your thoughts on this idea?

*xualHealth

Another exciting feature set to be released in the upcoming Sequoia v1.4.5: the 'Something wrong?' button in the Quick Actions list.

This small yet potentially invaluable addition assists in understanding why users opt to uninstall your app.

Excited to share our incredible journey at the 25th Congress of the European Society for S*xual Medicine (ESSM Congress) in Bari, Italy! 🇮🇹

It was an absolute honor to be part of this prestigious event, where we had the privilege of representing our team and our commitment to advancing s*xual health.

From February 8th to 10th, the Bari was abuzz with enlightening discussions, insightful lectures, and groundbreaking research presentations.

This experience marked a natural progression from our recent engagement at the World Meeting for S*xual Medicine in Dubai. Our dedication to fostering connections and sharing knowledge knows no bounds.

With over 660 esteemed professionals in attendance the congress showcased the global importance of advancing s*xual health.

The diversity of topics covered was truly impressive, spanning from the prevention and treatment of s*xual problems to the influence of social networks and the metaverse on human s*xuality.

Reflecting on our experience, we are filled with gratitude for the numerous valuable connections forged and the exciting opportunities that emerged:

🤝 Reconnecting with colleagues from the Middle East, we proudly introduced a new version of ‎Sequoia localized in Arabic, strengthening our commitment to inclusivity and accessibility.

🤝 Introducing Sequoia to Italian doctors sparked significant interest, with esteemed professionals expressing eagerness to explore its potential for research and clinical applications.

🤝 Engaging with leaders like ESSM's current president, Giovanni Corona, allowed us to showcase how Sequoia can contribute to their mission, igniting further interest and collaboration.

🤝 Additionally, receiving a personal invitation to participate in the regional congress of the Middle Eastern Association for S*xual Medicine in Egypt later this year is a testament to the impact of our work on a global scale.

As we look back on this enriching experience, we are filled with hope and excitement for the future of Sequoia. Each interaction, each insight gained, fuels our passion to continuously innovate and revolutionize s*xual health worldwide.

For those eager to learn more about our journey, join us on February 20th at 19:00 at the Spirit Roof art space (address: Glebki 64A). The Sequoia team will be there to share in-depth insights and reflections from our trip. Don't miss out on this opportunity. 😉

🔒 Elevate Your Relationship Game: Prioritize S*xual Health! 🔒

Creating a safe and healthy space for intimacy is key in any relationship! Confidence in your partner's well-being goes beyond words – it's about actions too. 💬

Initiate a conversation about s*xual health with "I-statements" to express your values. Whether starting a new relationship or deepening an existing one, open communication is the foundation. 💑

Uncomfortable asking for an STD certificate? You're not alone. Overcome fears of judgment and loss by fostering a non-coercive dialogue. 🤝

Make it clear: Your commitment to safe practices is a priority. Share, "I care about my health, and it's crucial to me. I request an STD-free certificate before engaging in any s*xual activities." 📜

Suggest testing together – an act of trust-building for both partners. Remember, annual testing is recommended even in committed relationships! 📆
