* aprender a reducir tóxicos en la rutina diaria sin obsesiones
* tomar decisiones más informadas y conscientes
* conocer alternativas alineadas con un estilo de vida saludable
También veremos el ejemplo de una marca europea que trabaja con **formulaciones frescas, veganas y transparentes**, y cómo el bienestar puede integrarse tanto a nivel personal como profesional.
✨ Taller informativo y educativo

✨ Espacio abierto para preguntas y conversación
Al final del taller habrá tiempo para resolver dudas y compartir impresiones.
No-Code AI: Learn the Basics, Build a Chatbot
Hello,
I’m creating this series of online events to share my passion for teaching with non-technical people.
In the first session, I’ll introduce Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Large Language Models (LLMs), explain how they differ from traditional software, and discuss real-world use cases. We’ll end the session with a hands-on activity where we build a chatbot together.
For registration, in addition to Meetup, please complete the form below:

Ioga, meditació, art i escriptura terapèutica. @cercleahimsa. Prova gratuïta.
Instagram: @cercleahimsa
Vine a gaudir i compartir una sessió basada en el ioga i en l'energia del cicle lunar. Cada setmana fem una sessió diferent aprofitant el moment lunar en el qual ens trobem, per exemple lluna plena: agraïment, lluna minvant: deixar anar...
El pes central de la sessió està en la pràctica de ioga, però també fem una meditació profunda d'uns 10 min mínim i una conclusió de la sessió expressada a través de l'escriptura terapèutica o de l'expressió artística.
Som un màxim de 8 persones i així creem espais de confiança i d'obertura on, a través del cos i el moviment, anem apropant-nos al camí de l'autoconeixement i la pau.

Circle Song: Improvised Body Music
**Invitation**
**We are the instruments.**
A participatory, improvised, embodied practice that reconnects us to one another through rhythm, voice, and play.
This is a guided yet fully improvised experience, using the facilitation tools and methods of [Musica do Circulo](https://www.musicadocirculo.com/en). No prior experience is required, only an openness to connect with other humans in your own fun, light and authentic way.
Circle songs are an invitation into a fully immersive, fully improvised musical experience using vocals, body percussion and movement. It draws inspiration from musical embodied rhythm practices from around the world, including call-and-response singing, rhythmic clapping games and circle song traditions.
Simply by standing in a circle and connecting with our bodies as our instruments, we are reminded that we can find joy and meaning right here in this present moment, and in the next.

From Data to Action: Graph Technologies at eDreams ODIGEO
¡Hola Barcelona! 👋 Are you ready to dive into the power of Graph Technologies?
Join us for a special event where we explore how graphs are transforming everything from flight search to AI reasoning. Save the date!
📅 **Tuesday, February 10th,** at our Barcelona Office.
⌚️ **Check-in:** from 18:45 until 19:15
🕖 **Presentations start at** 19:00
We have two expert talks lined up:
➡️ **Graph Technologies at eDreams ODIGEO: How do we find the cheapest price?**
*As an Online Travel Agency, a core objective at eDreams ODIGEO is creating the best flight combinations for our customers. In this talk, we’ll explain how we leverage Graph databases to find the cheapest flight paths. We will introduce the problem, the specific solution implemented, the results achieved, and the key challenges and learnings we encountered along the way.*
➡️ **From Data to Knowledge: GraphRAG and Agents on Neo4j**
*Neo4j is evolving from a graph database into a system for contextual intelligence. After a brief intro to the unique value of Neo4j, we will jump into a live demo showing how to combine GraphRAG, generative models, and agents via MCP. You'll see how to create systems capable of reasoning and making decisions over highly connected data—effectively moving from data to knowledge, and from knowledge to action.*
After the talks, stick around! We’ll have our usual networking time with 🍕 and drinks, the perfect chance to chat with the speakers and colleagues.
The event is free, but registration 🎫 is mandatory to secure your spot. **We kindly request that you complete this 👉 [registration form](https://forms.gle/VKHLV32dALDPNLRv8) in advance** to help us speed up the check-in process at the door.

Te invitamos a moverte, conectar y probar algo nuevo.
Explora el ritmo, el movimiento y el diálogo en un jogo entre camaradas.

28th Meetup - Stakeholder Management Workshop
One of the hardest parts of being a recruiter - and one that still doesn’t get nearly enough airtime at industry events - is **stakeholder management**. Because in reality, recruiting is never as straightforward as opening a role, finding a few great candidates, and making a hire.
There are kick-off meetings, market deep dives, competency-based interviews, reference checks… and just when you think you’re close, there’s usually a plot twist. You’ve lined up three strong finalists, and now comes another challenge: **helping the Hiring Manager feel confident they’re making the right call.**
So, are all Hiring Managers the same? Definitely not. Join the workshop Barcelona Recruitment People has put together with Preply and Ashby to dig into what really makes the difference.
And of course, we’ll wrap it up with what we do best - great networking with Talent Acquisition professionals across Barcelona. See you there!
**Main speaker:** [Ross Inman](https://www.linkedin.com/in/rosspreply/), Principal Talent Partner - Leadership Hiring @ Preply
Thanks **Preply** and **Ashby** for making this event possible!
**IMPORTANT NOTE:**
This event is specifically designed for in-house recruiters. Due to venue capacity and logistics, registration via **Luma** is also required (https://luma.com/ashby-preply-bcnrecruitmentpeople-meetup-12feb)
Please note that **only those whose registration has been accepted through Luma will be able to attend the meetup.**
Thanks for your understanding!
Galentine's Womben’s Circle: Aquarius New Moon - Pu$$y, Pleasure, Power
**GALENTINE'S DAY** \- a day to come together in sisterhood and radical self\-love\. To connect to the miracle of being born a divine feminine womb\-an and activate your sensual essence\.
In a society that teaches us to tear ourselves down, compete with one another, and mask the true magic of our existence...
The most rebellious thing you can do is live as your most authentic, juicy, turned-on and happy self. And the New Moon in Aquarius invites you to do just that. 💦🫦❤️🔥
Friday February 13th, 2026 is a turning point for every womb-an.
The day of the Divine Feminine, The Witches, and Venus (the planet of love)
Join us to honor the Solar Eclipse and New Moon in Aquarius, matching the Lunar New Year - the energy is ripe with new beginnings
But this isn’t your everyday plant the seeds and sow your garden type of fresh start
Because we’re working with the sacred rebel of Aquarius, the start of the year of the fire horse, and Saturn and Neptune at 0’ in Aries…
This is your invitation to burn it all down. The very patterns that have made you believe that who you are, exactly in this moment, isn't a divine create of G\*d. To disintegrate the internalized, suppressive forces that have kept you away from your own power, pleasure and living the life of your dreams
To activate your inner rebel as a badass f\*\*\*ing woman who’s ready to fully claim and embrace her power and tear away the patriarchal systems of internalized misogyny and out-dated power structures that have been keeping you from turning on your radiance.
It’s time to cut ties with the karmic patterns that have been keeping you disconnected from your power and pleasure, suppressed in your sexual expression, and blocking the life of your desires
This event will guide you to love your EVERY side and unleash the sensual eros queen ready to saddle the fire horse and ride her into the new year.
This isn't about forcing your way into a new way of being. It's about learning to soften, connect to your womb-anhood, and become so turned on by your very existence that the life of your dreams magically unfolds before you.
The year of the fire horse doesn't require you to do more - it asks you to slow down and look within. To learn to listen to your body, your p\*ssy, and your internal power system. The answers you seek are already there. It's time to awaken to them.
Get ready for:
**What to expect:**
✨ Astrological Insights + Application
✨ Exploration of the Feminine Archetypes
✨ Guided Womb Connection Practice
✨ Karmic Clearing Breathwork Practice
✨ Highest Self Activation
✨ Reiki Installation

D&D Adventure's League: Heir of Orcus Verse 1 - Tier 1 - DM Sean
Long ago, Ser Vindictus, an angel of the god of justice, led a host of knights to cleanse the world of a dark temple to the demon lord Orcus. None ever returned. Centuries later, whispers of the rediscovery of the temple has prompted the local lords of the city of Melvaunt to recruit you into venturing into the lost temple in the hopes of rescuing Ser Vindictus.
So what will you do when a troupe of supposedly honorable knights emerge to thwart your rescue of the angel?
