Star bene come un toro!
E se il benessere non fosse qualcosa da cercare fuori…
ma qualcosa da ricordare dentro di te?
Con l’energia del Toro — simbolo di **stabilità , piacere e presenza** —
ti invitiamo a vivere un’esperienza unica di **arteterapia & mindfulness creativa** 🌿🎨
Uno spazio per **rallentare, respirare e tornare a te**,
trasformando ciò che senti in chiarezza, espressione e benessere.
**Tratteremo i temi della salute, del corpo, del rapporto con i cinque sensi e le varie forme di nutrimento (compreso il denaro).**
[Scopri il workshop completo qui, sconto per la community TuSai e 2x1 se vieni con un amic*](https://www.tusaiforpeople.com/astroworkshop-creativo/)
Uno spazio di condivisione che ci parla della nostra stabilitĂ e la capacitĂ di stare in contatto con il corpo ed i nostri sensi.
Come in ogni incontro, andremo oltre la superficie del mito, per trovare nuovi modi per esprimere se stessi, liberandosi da schemi e condizionamenti limitanti, sopratutto quando si tratta di nutrimento, soldi e salute.
TuSai sposa a pieno i valori taurini e, credendo del potenziale presente in ognuno di noi, ti inviteremo a coltivare il benessere nelle piccole cose, in un’esperienza olistica che tocca tutti e 5 i sensi: olfatto, gusto, tatto, udito e vista. **E’ questa la chiamata all’essenza di ciò che *tu sai* e *sei*.**
### đź’ˇ **Cosa esploreremo insieme?**
Come in ogni incontro, accoglieremo le proposte dell'archetipo del mese attraverso:
* **Meditazione archetipica**: un viaggio interiore guidato per incontrare il tuo “star bene come un Toro” e riconnetterti alla tua visione personale.
* **Esercizi creativi e simbolici**: attraverso il disegno intuitivo e tecniche di autoespressione, esploreremo ciò che hai bisogno per stare bene nel tuo corpo e radicarti in ció che sai e sei.
* **Lavoro esperienziale di gruppo**: ispirati dall’energia del Toro, creeremo uno spazio di condivisione e riflessione sul concetto di **benessere, salute e radicamento**.
* **Costellazioni sistemiche**: esploreremo i legami che ti trattengono dal vivere la tua autenticitĂ e come trasformarli in risorse per il cambiamento.
✨ **Abbraccia la stabilità , il piacere di vivere ed il benessere integrale condiviso. Porta il tuo contributo al mondo. Il futuro inizia da qui!** ✨
Il segno del Toro, secondo dello zodiaco e primo segno di Terra, rappresenta la stabilità , la concretezza e il piacere dei sensi. Governato da Venere, pianeta dell’amore, della bellezza e del gusto di vivere bene, il Toro è profondamente connesso con il corpo, la natura e la ricerca di armonia nei ritmi quotidiani. Ci insegna che **benessere non è un obiettivo ma un’esperienza quotidiana**.
**Domenica 17 Maggio ore 18:00-21:00**

Building Scalable Customer Identity Resolution Pipelines on AWS Using AI
Customer identity resolution becomes increasingly complex as organizations scale across multiple systems, regions, and data formats. Traditional rule-based approaches often fail to keep up with data variability, require constant manual tuning, and struggle with real-time processing needs.
This session presents a practical approach to building a scalable identity resolution pipeline using AWS services and modern AI techniques. The architecture combines data ingestion through Amazon S3 and AWS Glue, transformation pipelines using Spark on EMR, and machine learning models deployed via SageMaker for entity matching and standardization. Graph-based relationship modeling is implemented using Amazon Neptune to improve resolution accuracy by incorporating household and shared attribute context.
We will walk through how machine learning models can be used for name and address normalization, how intelligent blocking strategies improve matching efficiency, and how feedback loops can be introduced to continuously improve accuracy. The session also highlights how serverless components such as AWS Lambda can be used for orchestration and real-time processing.
