**Stress** is one of the greatest challenges of modern life. When stress becomes long-lasting, it can quietly turn into anxiety, affecting both mental and physical well-being and increasing the risk of more serious health issues. Through regular **mental hygiene**, we can gently influence our bodies and restore balance. By adding the power of the exhale to classical autogenic training, we enhance its effects. The energy of the exhale supports and accelerates the body’s natural process of restoration. Your donation for this event supports the work of our Club.

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 stabilità e la capacità 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*.** ### 💡 **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 autenticità 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**

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!

This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships. Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. We look forward to having you join us! This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
