\>\>\>\>\>\>\> All Info and registration here: https://interbeing\.ch/living\-diversity/ **– *Understand our differences and connect in conflict* –** In this course, we explore together how we can be with each other in our differences. We learn how to communicate more effectively with our loved ones, colleagues and even with people who share opposite opinions. * How can I feel understood, even when you see things differently? * How can I connect with people who think, feel, or live differently from me? * How to navigate conflict without losing myself or the other? * How to meet diversity with curiosity instead of fear? Before connecting with others, we get to know ourselves: Find out what is behind our triggers and judgments, identify our feelings and needs. This inner clarity strengthens our self empowerment and the ability to meet others on eye level instead of betraying ourself, giving up our wishes, or dominating the conversation. We learn to better understand each other in our differences and invite cooperation. We explore movements beyond polarizing debates, while staying true to ourselves, so we can belong a bit more rather than merely fit in. ## We research how to: * Listen more deeply to ourself and gain inner clarity about our needs and what really matters to us * Realise when we need self care before connecting with others * Find inner clarity when we’re triggered * Stand honestly for our needs, express our wishes and invite cooperation * Grow capacity in understanding other viewpoints * See the beautiful messages behind our judgments and the judgments of others * Be in conflict with care and connection **Facilitation Style:** During each session, we offer theoretical input, live demonstrations, group discussions, and two to three guided exercises. We share insights and tips inspired by Nonviolent Communication (NVC) by [Yoram Mosenzon](https://www.connecting2life.net/trainer/yoram-mosenzon/) and Marshall Rosenberg. But foremost we invite you to find your own way. To develop your own communication style with your inner parts and your fellow humans. Part of the sessions will be shaped by the wishes and interests of the group. We might offer themed evenings that dive deeper into specific areas of diversity where staying connected can be difficult (such as race, gender, sexual orientation, neurodivergence, mental health, illness and disability, diet, relationship styles, cultural background, political views, and our ways of relating to money and consumption,…) or explore more depth some conflict situation. You’re warmly invited to bring your personal situations so we can work with concrete, lived experiences. \>\>\>\>\>\>\> All Info and registration here: https://interbeing\.ch/living\-diversity/

Hallo! Mein Name ist Michał und ich bin langjähriger Meditationspraktizierender und Bewusstseins-Coach. (Die Veranstaltung findet im GZ Heuried – Döltschiweg 130, 8055 Zürich statt. **Ich bitte um eine schriftliche Bestätigung deiner Teilnahme bei der Anmeldung.)** https://gz-zh.ch/gz-heuried/angebote/meditation-runterkommen/ In dieser geführten Meditation werden wir die Realität genau so beobachten, wie sie ist. Wir konzentrieren uns auf den Geist, den Körper und die Empfindungen im Körper. Die von mir geleitete Meditation ist in der Vipassana-Tradition verwurzelt und enthält Elemente der non-dualen Bewusstheit. Ich verwende keine Visualisierungen oder göttliche Bilder – sie ist so einfach wie möglich und meiner Erfahrung nach die effektivste Methode, die wahre Natur der Realität allmählich Tropfen für Tropfen zu erkennen. Diese Meditation ist für alle spirituellen oder religiösen Hintergründe offen. Der Abend besteht aus **einer Stunde Meditation**, gefolgt von **30 Minuten Fragen und Antworten**. Ich würde mich sehr freuen, wenn du an diesem Abend teilnehmen würdest. **Gebühr – 20 CHF**. Wenn du finanzielle Schwierigkeiten hast, kontaktiere mich bitte, und wir können über andere Möglichkeiten sprechen.

As it is sometimes difficult in Switzerland to practice high german, in 2010 we decided to organize a conversation group that is free to everyone who wants to practice german and socialize. WhatsApp group for easier contact: https://chat.whatsapp.com/KmMkpiQxs291vTPv2RBNm4

Welcome to the Winterthur Badminton Meetup! 🏸👊😉🍻 We’re an international group created for badminton fans in and around Winterthur. Open to Expats and Swiss folks who want to train and socialise with fellow ‘badmintonists’. Or perhaps you’d like to learn the sport and meet new people? Whether doing it for fun or fitness, the idea is to enjoy and have a great (kickass) midweek. And everyone is welcome to join us for a postgame drink or two! See yah! 😊 Important: We ask everyone to respect others who wish to play. That means dropping out if you won’t make it to the game by updating your RSVP. Keep in mind: RSVPs close at 21:00 two days before the event to give others enough time to plan. Anyone on the RSVP list who did not show up at the event is considered a "no-show". No-shows will still have to pay the shared cost of the court and shuttles. We keep track of no-shows and deprioritise them in future games. Please try your best to pay on the same day by Twint or in cash. With Twint, write in the comment the date and your name for reference. Cost will be around 12-20 CHF, depending on the amount of players joining and if we have to rent 1 or 2 courts. Note: If it's your first time joining, please send me a message for more details and to confirm your spot in the game. Otherwise, regular players will be given priority. Cheers, Elias

We are currently playing in a regular group of 12 players at higher intermediate/advanced level. Your registrations here will first be on the waiting list and when confirmed, payment is to be made by twint to secure your spot for participation. There is a charge of Chf 22 per person. That is inclusive of feather shuttles. Place of event - Schumacher Sport Center, Am Stadtrand 46, Dübendorf. Court no. 10, 11 & 12

(Scroll down for English) WAS IST BREATHWORK UND WIE WIRKT ES Breathwork (tiefe, verbundene Atmung) ist eine kraftvolle Atemtechnik, welche gleichzeitig auf der Bewusstseins-, der emotionalen sowie der körperlichen Ebene wirkt und dadurch schnelle Transformation und Selbstheilung ermöglicht. Körperliche Wirkung: Breathwork kann Dir dabei helfen kann, Stress, innere Anspannung/Verspannungen abzubauen, Schmerzen zu lindern und die Körperwahrnehmung zu verbessern, mehr Energie und Lebendigkeit zu spüren, tiefer zu schlafen und den eigenen Körper mehr zu lieben. Emotionale Wirkung: Die tiefe, verbundene Atmung kann Dir wieder Zugang geben zu unterdrückten Emotionen (z.B. Wut, Angst, Trauer), welche Dich bis anhin blockiert haben. Du lernst, sie wieder zuzulassen, die Angst vor ihnen zu verlieren und den inneren Druck abzubauen. Gleichzeitig ermöglicht Dir Breathwork tiefe Zustände von Freude, Gelassenheit, Verbundenheit und (Selbst-)Liebe. Bewusstseinserweiternde Wirkung: Breathwork kann Dir ermöglichen, alte Glaubenssätze und Muster zu durchbrechen und (wieder) Zugang zu Deiner eigenen Wahrheit, Klarheit und Intuition zu finden. Du kannst Themen in Deinem Leben aus einer neuen Perspektive betrachten und dadurch verblüffende Zusammenhänge sowie Lösungen zu erkennen. Neue Ideen und Visionen können geboren werden. Meine Art des Breathworks basiert auf dem «Biodynamic Breath & Trauma Release»-Ansatz und enthält Elemente des holotropen Atmens («Holotropic Breathwork») von Stanislav Grof sowie des Transformational Breath von Judith Kravitz. ANGABEN ZUM WORKSHOP In den Live-Breathwork-Workshops folgt auf eine Aufwärmübung die ca. 1-stündige Atemsequenz. Diese wird von Berührung und kraftvoller Musik begleitet. Am Schluss folgt zu sanfter Musik eine ca. 15-minütige Entspannungsphase. Danach gibt es eine Pause, um wieder ganz anzukommen und einen Snack zu geniessen, bevor der Workshop mit einem Sharing in der Gruppe endet. Der Workshop wird auf Deutsch und Englisch durchgeführt. Preis: CHF 65 Anmeldung via [https://rebekkathommen.ch/pure-breathwork/](https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Frebekkathommen.ch%2Fpure-breathwork%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExZ3FzOUpDVlFxMTVjeFhTUnNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR4NmVcF4OOcYb--sthB23aqVwI1_DSs_j-ck06mXFKPQFAAxLIE_gxVhxwwSA_aem_3St6FHpD3HCvukjSXMAj_Q&h=AT2BxC-bTIWV53y0vAaMAwRnbnAR_QI2z1TZfXGfII1a4AiwTl91UTIgZlCeesuc6BjBnKauyOIq9wI5pYAO4l-o029U_l2YUKiR5YRQdWS3Odm2BI3q5mFffghqYVhc20RY2inzGAfkdfpUQeEs61HXumsysA&__tn__=q&c%5B0%5D=AT0DcSrjdkxrlcOFcWKWS7PXzkANYTzbluRIwm2mryN3zIMbiZgLnQdpcq0KL0W0SZzZCzNM5rkv7qn4zv1XYbvtf92GFqnhlnN4UInbcPbAsEiLVYMM8ok_GV2ekPGmriPe4EJ62he08E8hdQNpfTkEMhQ7R_IdCis) \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- WHAT IS BREATHWORK AND WHAT ARE ITS EFFECT Breathwork (deep, connected breathing) is a powerful breathing technique that works simultaneously on the consciousness, emotional and physical levels, enabling rapid transformation and self-healing. Physical effect: Breathwork can help you to reduce stress, inner tension/tension, relieve pain and improve body awareness, feel more energy and vitality, improve your sleep and love your own body more. Emotional effect: Deep, connected breathing can give you access to suppressed emotions (e.g. anger, fear, sadness) that have previously blocked you. You learn to allow them back in, to lose your fear of them and to release the inner pressure. At the same time, Breathwork enables you to experience deep states of joy, serenity, connection and (self-)love. Consciousness-expanding effect: Breathwork can enable you to break through old beliefs and patterns and (re)gain access to your own truth, clarity and intuition. You can look at issues in your life from a new perspective and thus recognize amazing connections and solutions. New ideas and visions can be born. My type of breathwork is based on the “Biodynamic Breath & Trauma Release” approach and contains elements of holotropic breathing (“Holotropic Breathwork”) by Stanislav Grof and transformational breathing by Judith Kravitz. INFORMATION ABOUT THE WORKSHOP In the live breathwork workshops, a warm-up exercise is followed by a breathing sequence lasting approximately 1 hour. This is accompanied by touch and powerful music. At the end, there is a 15-minute relaxation phase accompanied by gentle music. Afterwards, there is a break to fully recharge and enjoy a snack before the workshop ends with a group sharing. The workshop is conducted in German and English.

As adults, meeting new people isn’t as easy as it used to be. Between busy schedules and shrinking social circles, it can feel hard to form fresh connections—and while we’re constantly interacting online, it rarely matches the warmth and depth of a real, face-to-face conversation. That’s where our Fast Friending Evening comes in. It’s all about genuine, in-person connections with like-minded ladies and gents in the city. Just show up, be yourself, and enjoy an evening of effortless conversations and meaningful new connections. **You will need to buy a ticket for attending -** [https://zurich11thapril.eventbrite.co.uk](https://zurich11thapril.eventbrite.co.uk) \*You can use any debit or credit card to purchase your ticket at PayPal checkout.

[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations. If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!). **HOW IT WORKS** **Step 1: Bring a topic** Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event. **Step 2: Circle up & share** We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds. **Step 3: Walk, talk & float** We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!" **Step 4: Feel more alive** Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times. *For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)* **HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC** A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about. Recent topics include: * "What are you passionate about right now?" * "What makes a good friend?" * "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?" * "How do you want to be remembered?" * "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?" Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter. **WHAT TO EXPECT** This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.* But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here. **FAQ** * Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk! * We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space. * We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space. * Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know. * Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic! **LOGISTICS** * If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event. * This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs. * Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details. * If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋 **IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...** [The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up. * This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries.

WQC has weekly Thursday night social nights at the Westerville Java Central. Come and grab a coffee and connect with the community: low stakes, chill environment, and tasty drinks. No registration is required; come as you are.

The aim of this group is to get together and practice our German. Doesn’t matter if are a beginner or a native speaker. The goal is to speak and improve our German. Everyone is welcome! If the weather is good, look for us in the Biergarten. Pro Tip: Get there before 6:00 for happy hour pricing.

**Connected Westerville Night of Networking** *April Edition: The Introduction Economy* You've been to the networking events. You've done the small talk. Collected the cards. Forgotten the names. And walked out feeling like you just wasted two hours of your life. The problem isn't you. It's the format. Most networking events put you in a room and tell you to figure it out. So everyone defaults to elevator pitches and business talk, and nothing real gets built. Here's the truth about networking that most people miss: Your network isn't just who you know. It's who thinks of you when they're talking to someone else. *That's* The Introduction Economy. And it only works when relationships are real. There's a reason people who come once keep coming back. It starts with seven minutes that feel nothing like networking. Then we open it up. Free networking. More conversations. More momentum. This is a room full of corporate professionals, entrepreneurs, business owners, creatives, and career builders in the Westerville and Columbus area. The mix is the magic. You might never do business with everyone you meet tonight. But someone in this room will think of *you.* **By name**. So, the next time someone needs exactly what you do, you get the recommendation. **April 14th. RSVP now.** **When:** Tuesday\, April 14th \| 6:15 PM \-\- 8:00 PM **Where:** Vineyard Community Center \| 6000 Cooper Rd\, Westerville\, OH 43081

**Confidence & Connection: Using Your Authentic Truth to Find Your People** Confidence isn’t just about believing in yourself, it’s about knowing where you belong and who you can grow alongside. In this April Confidence Lab Happy Hour, we’ll explore how living in your authentic truth helps you find your people, build meaningful collaborations, and create spaces where vulnerability is met with respect rather than risk. Together, we’ll reflect on what it looks like to advocate for yourself with clarity and care, and how confidence deepens when it’s rooted in connection rather than comparison. Featured speaker **Lachandra Baker**, founder of **[LBB Edutainment](https://www.lbbedutainment.com/)** and author of *Your Own Biggest Cheerleader*, will share reflections on authenticity, psychological safety, and the power of community over individual achievement. Drawing from personal stories—including the significance of turning 53—Lachandra will invite us into a conversation about showing up fully, being seen, and choosing relationships that support who you truly are. Expect a warm, welcoming atmosphere with space for reflection, shared insight, and intentional connection—plus drinks, light bites, and the kind of conversations that remind you you’re not meant to do this alone. Come as you are. Leave feeling clearer about your voice, your people, and the confidence that grows when both are aligned. **What is Confidence Lab?** Confidence Lab is a monthly community experience for bold, thoughtful leaders building confidence from the inside out. Whether you’re launching a business, leading a team, navigating change, or simply striving to show up more fully—you belong here. Our work demands clarity, courage, and conviction—but the pace of daily life can erode our sense of self. Confidence Lab creates space to reflect, reconnect, and grow with others doing purpose-driven work. It’s designed for entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, creatives, corporate professionals, activists, and anyone ready to lead with authenticity and impact. ***Please note:*** *All are welcome! If cost is a concern, please use promo code PUBLIC to access a free ticket—we want you to join us.*

The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event. We will be hearing from Becca Powell, Director of Advocacy and Outreach at Unchained At Last, an organization whose mission is dedication to ending forced and child marriage in the United States through direct services and systems change. Unchained At Last's mission clearly meshes and addresses several of our Humanist Ten Commitments. Becca will educate us about an issue many of us may not be familiar with--but should be. Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online Join Zoom Meeting [https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1](https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1) Meeting ID: 878 3656 4953 Passcode: 760812 One tap mobile +19292056099,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (New York) +13017158592,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (Washington DC) The formal presentation will start at noon
