**Voices Aloud** is a joyful singing practice — a space to open up, connect, and let your voice have fun. We’ll sing gospel-inspired grooves, clap, dance and feel the joy of shared sound. Eyes open, hearts open — this practice is about connection, expression, and release. ​You don’t need to “know how to sing” — just come as you are, take a breath, and join the game. We’ll explore vocal technique in a playful way — discovering how to sing with confidence, emotion, and flow. ​It’s a **choral playground** inviting you to sing, move, and connect through sound, led by **Katia Kiwi — gospel singer & voice guide.** ​Come, have fun, raise your voice and sing your heart out. 🎶 ​ ​ 1 class — 15€ cash / 18€ other ​  ​**Location** ​​​​​​​**Samanà Space** (🔗 [IG](https://www.instagram.com/samanasoul/)) **Address:** Calle Pujades 77-79 8 planta — Ring 2809

Being the only researcher, or part of a small research team, often means carrying the weight of user advocacy entirely on your shoulders. The Barcelona tech ecosystem is fueled by fast-moving startups and agile product teams, but that reality can sometimes leave UX researchers managing backlogs and advocating for stakeholder buy-in without a massive support system. Join us as we interview a panel of UXRs who have successfully built their company's research culture from within a lean team. We will dive into their firsthand experiences and talk through real-world playbooks for strategic roadmap influence. Expect thoughtful discussions on how to democratize your insights, scale your impact across the organization, and drive high-fidelity product decisions. Whether you are a team of one or navigating the growing pains of a small team, bring your questions, your challenges, and your stories. See you there!

# ECSTATIC RHYTHMS ## ​Cacao Ceremony & Freedom Dance ​**About the Event** ​Enter a collective ritual of presence, movement, and expression as we gather for **[Ecstatic Rhythms](https://www.notion.so/WEBSITE-sabinamedina-com-1284e61d096b80f1bd06eb75dc61198b?pvs=21&utm_source=luma)**. ​In a world that often pulls us into speed and disconnection, this evening is an invitation to slow down, drop into the body, and remember the joy of moving and expressing together — freely, consciously, and without masks. ​We begin by entering a shared meditative space and drinking **ceremonial Criollo cacao**, ethically sourced and cultivated in Venezuela. This heart-opening ritual is held with care and intention, creating a safe container to open the body, quiet the mind, and connect as a community in this unique moment. ​From there, we move into a **balancing breathwork, voice activation, and body awakening**, preparing the nervous system and inviting us to fully let go. This phase supports alignment on a physical, emotional, and energetic level — setting the ground for deep expression. ​The journey then unfolds into an **authentic ecstatic dance experience**, inspired by the ancient roots of dance before DJs existed. Through drums, shakers, our voices, and carefully curated soundscapes, we co-create a powerful movement ritual led by fire, rhythm, and presence. ​Influenced by the principles of **Five Rhythms**, the dance becomes a space to express, observe, and release — moving through emotions and elements, shedding fears and masks, and exploring mind, body, and spirit in many forms. This is a space to get creative, dance like no one is watching, and awaken a playful, youthful sense of freedom. ​We close by bringing everything home through a **deeply restorative gong and Tibetan bowl sound bath**, supporting integration, grounding, and nervous system regulation — completing the cycle of the evening. ​ BOOKINGS: https://luma.com/lpx0y1jb *** ## ​What to Expect * ​Ceremonial Criollo cacao (ethically sourced from Venezuela) * ​Guided meditation & intention setting * ​Breathwork, voice activation & body preparation * ​Ecstatic / freedom dance journey * ​Live elements (drums, shakers, voice) + curated sound journey * ​Closing gong & Tibetan bowl sound bath ​No dance experience is needed; just curiosity, presence, and a willingness to move. *** ## ​This Is for You If * ​You crave freedom of expression through movement * ​You want to reconnect with your body and inner rhythm * ​You feel called to dance in a conscious, substance-free space * ​You enjoy ritual, music, and embodied community experiences * ​You want to celebrate Life with depth and joy *** ## ​How to Prepare & Guidelines ​**Before the event** * ​It is recommended to arrive **2–4 hours lightly fasted** before consuming ceremonial cacao * ​If you eat beforehand, choose light, nourishing food * ​Please listen to your body and prepare accordingly ​**During the experience** * ​**No phones** (facilitators included) — this is a private, inward journey * ​**Dance barefoot** to connect with the ground * ​**No talking** — practice presence and respect others’ journeys * ​**No alcohol or drugs** — we hold a conscious, ethical, sacred space * ​**Consent & respect are fundamental** — we co-create safety for everyone ​**Arrival** * ​Arrive from **18:00** * ​Journey begins at **18:30 sharp** * ​**Doors close at 19:00** to honour the group container *** ## ​Facilitators​ ​\*\*[Sabina Medina](https://www.instagram.com/sabina.medina_/?utm_source=luma)\*\* ​Sabina Medina is the co-founder of **Samanà Space** and a movement facilitator devoted to creating grounded, safe spaces for presence, expression, and conscious community.

Esta fase favorece la alineación física, emocional y energética, sentando las bases para una expresión profunda. ​El viaje continúa hacia una **experiencia auténtica de danza extática**, inspirada en las raíces ancestrales de la danza, antes de que existieran los DJs. A través de tambores, shakers, nuestras voces y paisajes sonoros cuidadosamente seleccionados, co-creamos un ritual de movimiento potente, guiado por el fuego, el ritmo y la presencia. ​Influenciada por los principios de **Five Rhythms**, la danza se convierte en un espacio para expresar, observar y liberar — moviéndonos a través de emociones y elementos, soltando miedos y máscaras, y explorando mente, cuerpo y espíritu en múltiples formas. Un espacio para crear, bailar como si nadie mirara y despertar una libertad lúdica y vital. ​Cerramos el ciclo llevando todo de vuelta al cuerpo con un **profundo baño de sonido con gong y cuencos tibetanos**, apoyando la integración, el enraizamiento y la regulación del sistema nervioso.

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. **SPEAKER BIO** Mosaic Syed is a Senior Data Engineering and Cloud Solutions Architect with over 20 years of experience designing and delivering scalable, secure, and high-performance data solutions across global enterprise environments. https://www.linkedin.com/in/mosaic-basha-syed-92300856 **CALL FOR SPEAKERS** Learn more: [https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/](https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/) **THANK YOU** *VEEAM* for hosting our meetup!

Join us for a practical, beginner-friendly guide to choosing the right large language model. We’ll compare major models like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Llama, talk about when to use hosted APIs versus local models, and break down the tradeoffs around cost, speed, quality, privacy, context windows, coding ability, and reliability. You’ll leave with a clearer mental model for picking an LLM based on your actual use case instead of hype, benchmarks, or brand names. No deep AI background required. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.
