Want **more info** than our Summary above? Then please read below: . . . . . **WHY?** we ❤️ **uniting people** and building **community** while having **fun!** We truly believe that **fun meaningful offline connections** to new & existing friends makes us truly happy and healthy! Our community meets **every 2 Fridays** in a **homey,** caring and **welcoming** "come as you are" environment ! . **WHAT is this event?** We are not a "party or drinks" meetup, nor we follow a "forced" process and agenda. Instead, we are a **Connection Community** inspired by Greek village cafes and Swiss Stammtisch — a welcoming environment where neighbours gathered as equals to share stories and build lasting friendships. We meet in a "**fixed-rhythm**" every 2 Fridays in a **homey** & **lovingly-hosted space** so you can connect with new and familiar faces. We provide **several optional activities** to help you **connect** with others—so you're free to **explore what resonates** with you! Together these activities create a unique **Connection** **Event.** . . . . **TIPS on how to connect:** * **Look out for a good smile/vibe** in a person/group of 2-3 people and say "Hi my name is xxx, can I join?". * **Try something different** (person, game, table, activity) often until you find **fun** **quality connection.** We have a lot of activities * **Ask** **Support:** we understand going out to meet friends can be a stretch. We make this easy with a fun and safe event. Also you can ask for help from our clearly communicated (see photos of this event) "**People Connectors**" who can help you discreetly to connect with others * **Invest time**(not quickly just come by) as friendships are an investment * **Come back**: big turnaround, people come randomly at each event, so you never know who you ll meet . . **.** **Some final words:** * **Bravo** **to you** for the courage to go out to meet new people! We know **everyone is unique** \- thats why we got a big new\-comer area\, 4 co\-hosts welcoming and connecting you\, and many activities for you to **choose** from to find what **suits you**! * **Weather?** Event takes place rain or shine, with indoors rooms and outdoors area that is ultra rain-protected * **Coming late?** no problem, we got many people until closing at 00:00 so come whenever! * **Too many attendees?** no problem, we got the space! Also as per the "what" above: you define what makes the event meaningful for you! Furthermore, the co-organisers have one goal: to say hi and introduce you to the event and people (if you want to please ask)! Finally remember: you dont have to talk to everyone, focus in a few people! Less is more! If you dont know where to start look for a good smile or an activity more matching to you. From there keep on trying people and activities.. * **Why so many options above for connection?** We always have: a first-timer area, Fun social games, Mindful games, ice-breaker questions or simply just talk freely to anyone. Often we add: Speed-friending and a Music jam. We believe **you are unique** and each of us prefers different ways of connection. Also we want to provide an opportunity for everyone to try something new * **Easy and Safe:** We have the whole location reserved for us so its safe to open up and meet new friends (unlike bars in Zürich where people find it strange if strangers talk to them). Christos and volunteers will also help with connection. Read more info below. * **Christos** (see [PHOTO](https://photos.app.goo.gl/pdtVaVGCyDEJ28uE8)) and our co-organisers will be wearing name budges and will aim to **welcome** **everyone.** * more info via our **[LINKS](http://linktr.ee/connectionspace)** * Yes YOU are **good** & **courageous** for looking for new fun connections! * Everyone is in same situation and you ll be surprised how **friendly people** are ❤️ * Come **early** though **later** also ok as many people there **until 00:00** * **It works**! We heard of many new friendships, living together and even getting a new job * **Mindful Connection Games:** from [The School of Life](https://www.theschooloflife.com/shop/?_product_type=games-card-sets) available: Confessions Game, The Friendship Game, Connection Game, The Loser Game, Games for grown-ups and three sets of "100 questions" (Conversation Toolkit & Careers & Relationships) * **Fun Social Games:** bring your own **board/card games** or choose from: Cards against humanity, Exploding Kittens, Codenames, Debatable, Sotally Tober, Taboo, Mafia, Uno, Monopoly and more. . . . . ``` Disclaimer & participation terms (Connection Space): By registering for and/or attending this event (“Event”), you agree: Registration required.

Ready to relax, get creative, and maybe even win a prize? Join our **Coloring Contest**, a fun and inspiring experience for **everyone** – no matter your age or skill level! This special edition comes with a **2-for-1 deal**, so you can bring a friend, family member, or creative buddy along and enjoy the experience together. Because let’s be honest – coloring is even more fun when shared 😄 During the session, you’ll choose from a selection of carefully designed motifs and bring them to life using high-quality **Ohuhu markers**. Known for their vibrant colors and smooth blending, these markers are perfect for both beginners and experienced creatives. Whether you prefer soft gradients, bold contrasts, or playful color combinations, you’ll have all the tools you need to create something truly unique. **All materials are included**, so you can simply show up and start coloring. No preparation needed – just bring your creativity and good vibes! You’ll have dedicated time to work on your piece and fully immerse yourself in the process. There’s no pressure to be perfect – the goal is to enjoy the moment, experiment with colors, and express your personal style. Some people like to plan their palette carefully, while others jump right in and let intuition guide them. Both approaches are welcome here. To participate in the contest, the main requirement is simple: **finish your coloring** within the session. Once completed, your artwork will be entered into the competition. The winner will be selected based on two criteria: * **Completion** – your artwork must be finished * **Creativity** – originality, color use, and overall expression So don’t worry about being “technically perfect” – what really counts is your unique idea and how you bring it to life. At the end of April, one standout piece will be chosen as the winner 🎉 The **prize is valued between 20 and 69 CHF**, depending on the total number of participants. The more people join, the more exciting the prize becomes! But even if you don’t win, you’ll still leave with your finished artwork and the joy of having created something with your own hands. It’s a perfect way to unwind, try something new, and maybe discover a hidden talent. **Who is this for?** Absolutely everyone! Kids, teens, adults, beginners, and experienced creatives are all welcome. Whether you come solo or take advantage of the 2-for-1 deal with someone special, you’re guaranteed a fun and colorful time.

**Women Who Wonder — Intergenerational Women's Circle (First Meeting)** Have you ever wondered how other women experience situations? Are you curious to know how women of older and younger generations think? Do you enjoy broadening your horizon? Are you looking for new relationships and conversations beyond small talk? If you are interested to communicate with others and create a beautiful atmosphere, learn the power of listening deeply and want to experience the joy of being seen, heard and witnessed, this is for you. Women Who Wonder is a new intergenerational women's circle for women between 18 and 108 years old. We meet biweekly in Zurich, sitting together in a facilitated circle not to advise, but to share, listen to and witness each other. Are you young and interested to find the wisdom of elders while offering your own? Are you a mother who wants to take a breath away from daily demands and take time for yourself and your needs? Or you have no children and you are curious about other women's experiences? Are you an elder woman who is interested in life and in sharing what you have experienced? **Our first theme: Women Supporting Women** Each woman gets uninterrupted time to speak and can ask for the kind of response she would like from others. There is time to ask me questions, though in this context I am here as facilitator, not as a medical advisor. If you have questions you can ask me and the other women about knowledge and experience. You don't need to prepare anything. Just come as you are. **How it works** We sit in a circle for 90 minutes, facilitated by Dr Barbara Kleeb. To create a safe and confidential space, every attendee signs our circle agreements on arrival. The essentials: we don't interrupt, we are non-judgmental, we don't fix, and we don't sell services. What is shared in the circle stays in the circle. **About me** I'm a gynaecologist and obstetrician with experience from birth to consultation, from hormones to operation. I am interested in many things, have written and recorded songs and created an online networking event for polymaths that lights people up. I feel that it is time for women to support each other, to learn with and from each other across generations. **Practical details** The first three meetings are free. Places are limited to 20 women. Further meetings will be CHF 50 per session. Sponsorship is available on request. An online community for ongoing connection between sessions is coming soon. The circle is held in Swiss German and English. When it's truly heard, your story becomes your wisdom. *** **Location:** *CAFÉ BAR FLOR SEEFELDSTR. 63 8008 ZÜRICH* **Date:** Friday, April 17th 5 to 6.30 pm

Hello together 0-10! Life feels more fulfilling when we can double our happiness and reduce our obstacles. It's not about how many - "1234567", it's about how and how much! I’m excited to share this event. Many women define themselves through their careers, while others embrace identities as housewives, mothers, or through their achievements. But identity is personal and evolving—so how do you define yourself? I believe your personal brand is your new title. It reflects who you are, what you stand for, and the value you bring. If you’re ready to explore this journey, I’d love to collaborate with you to shape your story and help you get published in a digital journal and SuccessXL. Let’s build something meaningful together—because strong branding begins with authentic expression. We can meet after, have a discussion, why we need each other? How do you want to see yourself in the mirror and how do you want to be seen by us? Common Sense Fact: Keyliu is a computer scientist, creator, and brand visionary who seamlessly blends technology, creativity, and innovation. She harnesses the power of music, AI-driven tools, and strategic content creation to elevate her brand’s presence, crafting engaging digital experiences that set her work apart in an ever-evolving landscape. She has been living in Zurich for a while. Funny thing about her: She has sweet teeth sometimes. She shares her brand signature donuts with us, like sharing the wing🪽! It gives you "wing" vibe! If she is not working "normal 12"! She works on her "songs&videos" to have her kind of fun with relentless positivity! She enjoyed travel with F1 for a few years, that time was crazy cool partly! (SOME found it was sort of homelessness... well, everyone can have an opinion, but their simple opinion doesn't matter! Throw them basically! Remove negative people is the key to a better life!) That was why she wrote "CAR Racing"! She is very pround of it! Because she created MAGIC from NOTHING through unforgettable experiences. She desired to be a modern Angel with Ferrari. ☺️ Now, it's time to move from "Cinderella" to "Woman Warrior"!

This month's prompt concerns the idea of the “warrior philosopher” (seemed appropriate in these times)--that is someone whose understanding of violence, power, and justice is forged through direct experience of war. We are looking at Major General Smedley D. Butler, a highly decorated U.S. Marine raised in a Quaker (pacifist) tradition who later became a prominent critic of American militarism (there is a wonderful biography of Gen. Butler called "Gangsters of Capitalism") Butler's argument in *War Is a Racket* (1935): that many U.S. interventions were driven less by national defense than by corporate and financial interests, with Butler portraying himself as an enforcer for business and Wall Street. We can consider the moral ambiguity of his insider critique—whether complicity strengthens or undermines credibility and also consider some of the concrete reforms he proposed (e.g., “conscript” capital before soldiers, restrict the military to coastal defense, and have only those who fight decide on war). Butler’s life arc clearly changed from pacifist upbringing to warrior to antiwar crusader—and asks whether true understanding of peace requires firsthand knowledge of war, and what that implies about the cost of suffering. So do we need to suffer to understand suffering? Do we have to experience war to appreciate peace? As one more question: in the movie "A Few Good Men" Jack Nicholson's character says that "you have the luxury of not knowing what I know" so do most of us go through life oblivious to real violence and suffering?

Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. 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!
