Hello beautifull soul, wellcome! This is not a class. It’s **a space to slow down, reconnect, and build a real relationship with yourself.** In a world that constantly pulls your attention outward, this is an invitation to come back. **What to expect** We work with simple but powerful practices: * Breathwork to regulate and stabilize the nervous system * Zazen (silent sitting) to develop clarity and observation * Meditation to deepen presence and awareness No previous experience is needed. This is not about doing it perfectly. It’s about showing up and practicing. **Why join?** Most people don’t struggle because they don’t know what to do. They struggle because they don’t have a space to **practice consistently**. This is that space. **Through repetition, you will begin to:** * *Feel more grounded and clear* * *Reduce mental noise and reactivity* * *Build discipline and inner stability* * *Develop a more honest connection with yourself* **Structure of the session (approx. 60 min)** 1. Breathwork (guided) 2. Zazen (silent practice) 3. Meditation 4. Optional sharing / integration **Who is this for?** * You feel mentally overloaded or disconnected * You want to build a consistent inner practice * You are curious about meditation but don’t know where to start * You are already practicing but want a grounded space to deepen **Practical details** 📍 Location: Ananda Mandira - Estepona 🕒 Time: 19hs 🎟️ Contribution: 13 EUR 👥 Limited spots to keep the space focused **EXTRA BONUS:** You will recibe a practical guidance to support your practice daily. **About the facilitator** This space is held by Lucas, founder of **Encuentros QHAPAQ**. The work is based on presence, responsibility, and real integration. No labels, no hierarchy, just a grounded and honest space to meet yourself. **Join us** If this resonates, come. No expectations. No pressure. Just show up and practice. *With Love and commitment, Lucas.*

When was the last time you let color move across paper with a brush — not to make something perfect, but simply to play and relax, like you did when you were little? Join us for a relaxed painting workshop by the sea where you can slow down, get creative and enjoy a beautiful moment for yourself shared in good company. We’ll guide you through the process in an easy, no-pressure way, so you can simply paint, connect and have fun. With the sound of the sea, a calm atmosphere and your own artwork to take home, it’s a lovely way to spend time in Marbella.

We are a public speaking club where you can practice your speaking skills and have a lot of fun. Amazing opportunity for self development and networking

Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you! **What to Expect at the Intro Circle** \~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~ Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup: * Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics Round 1 - (7 secs max): * Your name * What you're working on * What you can help others with Round 2: * Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too. Round 3: * Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool. After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!

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!

Practical AI for Power BI Developers A year ago, “agentic AI” was mostly hype for Power BI teams. Today, it deserves your undivided attention. For Power BI pros, there is now a real opportunity to reduce repetitive development work, accelerate delivery, and help developers do more, but only when strong DataOps practices are in place to make AI workflows effective. This session is a no-nonsense introduction to effective AI patterns for Power BI and Fabric development. Along the way, we will make sense of the growing pile of terminology, including skills, plugins, hooks, and MCP. You will see examples of how modern AI tooling can help with development tasks across Power BI and Fabric, along with the prerequisites, guardrails, and DataOps principles needed to use it responsibly. Whether you're burned out on AI hype or already using Copilot CLI daily, this session will show you the foundations that are finally making AI-assisted development genuinely useful.

Join the Columbus AI community for our quarterly gathering — a casual, community-focused evening where everyone has a chance to share, learn, and connect. These open mic–style events give anyone in the community up to **5 minutes** to present a project, share a tool, pose a question, or offer a perspective on the evolving AI space. No slides required — just a welcoming space to exchange ideas and keep the local AI conversation moving. If you’d like to take the stage, message \*\*Chris (the organizer)\*\*with a **title and short description** of what you’d like to share. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.
