You're invited to receive a gentle, individual Reiki session held outdoors in a calm, natural setting in Montjuïc. These sessions are offered as a quiet, supportive space to rest, reset, and reconnect — held slowly, with care, clarity, and consent. *** ### ✨ What to expect Each session lasts approximately 30–60 minutes and includes: * A short check-in conversation to arrive and share how you're feeling * Hands-on Reiki while you rest comfortably (with your full consent) * A calm, held space — no pressure to talk or "experience" anything in a certain way * Optional space at the end to share reflections The session takes place outdoors, either sitting or lying down on a mat, surrounded by nature. I'll provide: * A mat for lying down * A light cover/blanket * Headphones and gentle music You're also welcome to: * Bring your own mat, blanket, or cushion * Listen to your own relaxing playlist on your phone *** ### 🌿 Location 📍 Jardins de Mossèn Cinto Verdaguer, Avinguda Miramar, 30, Sants-Montjuïc, 08038 Barcelona This is a public outdoor space, chosen for its quiet paths and natural atmosphere. 👉 The exact meeting point will be shared after booking confirmation. *** ### 🌦 Weather note If the weather isn't suitable for an outdoor session, we'll reschedule for another day — or the session can be relocated indoors at the same price. Your comfort and safety come first. *** ### 🗣 Language Sessions can be offered in English or Spanish. The experience is mostly silent, with a short check-in and simple instructions. *** ### 🌸 What is Reiki? Reiki, as offered here, is based on Usui Reiki Ryōhō, the traditional Japanese system founded by Mikao Usui. It is a gentle, hands-on practice that supports relaxation, grounding, and nervous system regulation. Rather than trying to fix or change anything, Reiki offers conditions for the body and mind to rest and rebalance naturally. Sessions are held as a contemplative practice, with emphasis on presence, listening, and consent. People experience Reiki in different ways. This may include: * Deep relaxation * A sense of calm or warmth * Emotional settling * Or simply the experience of resting There's nothing you need to believe, visualise, or achieve — you can simply rest and receive. Reiki sessions offered here are not a substitute for medical or therapeutic care. *** ### 🌱 Who this is for This session may be a good fit if you: * Feel stressed, overwhelmed, or in need of rest * Are curious about Reiki and want to try it in a gentle, grounded way * Enjoy quiet, nature-based experiences * Prefer a calm, one-on-one setting No prior experience with Reiki or meditation is needed. *** ### 💶 Pricing & Booking (Important before you RSVP) * **Introductory session: 15€** * 1-hour session: 30€ * 3-session pack (1 hour each): 70€ *(your first session is discounted from the total)* 👉 Get more information, or book directly and choose your date and time here: [https://www.hereaware.com/reiki](https://www.hereaware.com/reiki) You're also welcome to message me here on Meetup or via WhatsApp (+34 722 692 960) if you have any questions before booking. *** ### 🔁 Cancellations & no-shows Please provide at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. Same-day cancellations or no-shows are non-refundable, as these time slots are reserved specifically for you and cannot be offered to others at short notice. If you cancel with more than 24 hours' notice, I'm happy to help reschedule, subject to availability. Weather or facilitator cancellation: If a session needs to be cancelled due to weather or unforeseen circumstances on my end, you'll be offered a full refund or reschedule — whichever you prefer. *** ### 💬 Questions?

During the rounds a waiter/waitress will come just in case you need a refill! * **Icebreaker activity** → Depending on the day we have an ice-breaker activity for each group which consists in answering questions to start getting to know all participants. * **Rounds Begin** → Each participant has a mini-date (7 minutes) with another person. You may find ice breaker questions on the table in case you need them to help start enthralling conversations. * **Rotation** → At the signal (host announcement or gong), the guys move to the next partner. The rotation is always following the order of the numbers or letters you will find on the table: A,B,C,D,E,F... 1,2,3,4,5,6... When you get to the last number you will jump to the first one. Same with letters. Boys will be stand up 30 seconds to take notes and girls will remain sitting in same position. * **Half-break** → There is no half-break but if you want to pause, just ask the host if you can skip a round of 7 minutes so you can order drinks or food, go to the can or just relax at the garden. * **End of Rounds** → At the end we usually gather at the garden to have a drink. Like this you still have time to talk to people and make your decision. * **Fill the sheet** → Participants indicate who they’d like to see again. Maximum 3 names. It is important to scan the first QR code in your sheet to fill the form. We could increase the number of names voted but here we are **looking for the real sparkle. You can vote until monday at 18h!** * **Results** → **On tuesday in the morning**, the organizer shares mutual matches privately after the event by Meetup message or mail. Please check your SPAM FOLDER. If you get a match, you will receive your match's contact information.

Los anfitriones os darán la bienvenida. Recibirás una pegatina para escribir tu nombre y pegarla en el pecho (ayuda a recordar los nombres). También tendrás un **bolígrafo y una hoja** exclusiva para ti donde escribirás los nombres de tus citas y tus comentarios personales. En la hoja podrás tener el número o letra de la mesa donde deberás iniciar el juego. Ves a la zona de espera indicada por los organizadores. Al final del evento es **muy importante** escanear el **primer QR** de tu hoja para rellenar el formulario con tu: * nombre * número de teléfono * Instagram * correo electrónico * **los tres nombres** de las personas que más te han gustado *(Es buena idea escribir todos los nombres durante las citas y al final tachar todos excepto los 3 que más te gusten.)* En ese formulario también puedes dejar tu feedback para mejorar el evento. Mientras esperas puedes pedir una bebida, ir al baño y relajarte en la zona indicada. Pedimos a las chicas que lleguen **15 minutos antes** para poder sentarlas antes de que lleguen los chicos. Generalmente organizamos dos o tres grupos por rangos de edad, dependiendo del número de participantes. Durante las rondas, un camarero pasará por si necesitáis pedir algo. *** ### **Actividad para romper el hielo** Dependiendo del día, hacemos una actividad para romper el hielo que consiste en contestar una serie de preguntas por grupos que sirven para conocer un poco más las diferentes personas antes de empezar las rondas de speed dating. ### **Inicio de rondas** Cada participante tiene una mini-cita de **7 minutos** con otra persona. Podrás encontrar preguntas para romper el hielo en la mesa que podrás usar si tu deseas para empezar una buena conversación. ### **Rotación** A la señal del anfitrión (campana o gong), **los chicos se mueven** a la siguiente mesa. La rotación es siempre siguiendo el orden de los números o letras que se encontrarán en las diferentes mesas: A,B,C,D,E,F... 1,2,3,4,5,6.... Al llegar a la última letra, se irá hacía la primera. Lo mismo aplica con los números. Los chicos se levantan 30 segundos para tomar notas; las chicas permanecen sentadas. ### **Pausa** No hay pausa general, pero si quieres descansar una ronda de 7 minutos, puedes pedir al anfitrión saltarte una ronda para pedir bebida, comida, ir al baño o relajarte en el jardín. ### **Fin de rondas** Al terminar, normalmente nos reunimos en el jardín para tomar algo. Así puedes seguir hablando y tomar tu decisión final. ### **Rellenar la hoja** Indica los nombres de **máximo 3 personas** que te gustaría volver a ver. Escanea el **primer QR** y rellena el formulario. Podríamos ampliar a más nombres pero aquí realmente **estamos buscando la chispa real**, por eso el límite es de 3 nombres máximo a votar.

Aquí no vienes a “hacer networking” ni a presentarte como normalmente lo harías en un entorno social.

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!

**🦋 Real Speed Dating Online for Detroit Singles Personality Matched** On the night, you'll sit down for host-managed one-on-one rounds with Detroit singles your age curated by personality quiz, as an experienced host steers the pace. Prior to the event, you submit a short personality questionnaire — the information you provide there to pair you intelligently with Detroit locals, making every round feel more natural from the first minute. After all the rounds, match notifications go to both parties — with no one-sided reach-outs ever happening — and you decide your next step from there. **Your age group is your key — pick it below:** - **Ages 18-32** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=532.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Detroit&groupurlname=club-for-serious-connections-day-trips&ar=18-32&face_v=4.0) - **Ages 30-46** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=532.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Detroit&groupurlname=club-for-serious-connections-day-trips&ar=30-46&face_v=4.0) - **Ages 40-58** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=532.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Detroit&groupurlname=club-for-serious-connections-day-trips&ar=40-58&face_v=4.0) - **Ages 55+** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=532.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Detroit&groupurlname=club-for-serious-connections-day-trips&ar=55+&face_v=4.0) **⚠️ Important:** Your rsvp here is not a registration confirmation, so register through your age group link above and complete the personality quiz — places close once the group is full so sign up early, and only a completed registration locks in your seat. --- **How it works** 1. **Lock in your place** – using the link for your age bracket, then finish the personality questionnaire, since this is how you are officially confirmed. 2. **Hop on** – by clicking the Zoom invite at the event time, laptop phone or tablet — your choice, all work fine, and a host is live and will walk you through everything. 3. **Take part in the rounds** – host-guided one-on-one rounds with compatible Detroit singles in your bracket, as the host handles all transitions so conversations stay natural, as the quiz results already did the work of choosing who you meet. 4. **See your results** – after all rounds finish mutual matches are distributed privately, as privacy is guaranteed for all non-mutual selections, and once you have it you decide how and when to connect. **Perfect for:** - Anyone calling Detroit home wanting to escape digital dating that never converts to anything real and want to meet real locals without the faff. - Individuals in Detroit who are tired of app fatigue and empty match queues and want to talk to real people tonight. - Locals living in Detroit getting away from app fatigue and empty match queues and want real chemistry over profile photos. - Daters within Detroit who are tired of matches that ghost after two messages and are ready for something genuine instead. --- ✨ Done with apps — start here — use the link above to register and the host takes it from there this time.
