La séance débute par un temps d’ancrage et de connexion à la respiration, permettant de se recentrer et d’arriver pleinement dans le corps. Des mouvements doux et progressifs viennent ensuite mobiliser les articulations et réveiller le corps en conscience. Chaque mouvement est accompagné par la respiration, invitant à bouger en conscience au rythme du souffle. Cette séance offre un véritable espace pour ralentir, se reconnecter et prendre soin à la fois du corps et de l’esprit. On apprend à s’écouter, à respecter ses limites et à être attentif aux messages du corps. L’accent est mis sur la connexion entre le mouvement et les ressentis, plutôt que sur la performance. Des exercices ciblés permettent de fluidifier l’énergie dans le corps, de le rééquilibrer et de développer force, équilibre et mobilité, tout en conservant une approche douce et respectueuse. La séance se termine par un retour au calme et un moment de relaxation, afin d’intégrer pleinement les bienfaits de la pratique. Un cours idéal pour renforcer le corps en douceur, améliorer la conscience corporelle et cultiver une présence attentive dans le mouvement.

**mit Elana Andermatt und Andrea Bergamini** Kuscheln für alle, die schon vertraut sind mit Kuschel-Gruppen, ob bei uns oder anderen Anbietern. Wir werden weniger Zeit mit den Aufwärm- und Begegnungsübungen machen und mehr Zeit haben, in das Kuschelfeld einzutauschen. Auch hier ist die "Kuschel-Energie" der nährende, entspannte Kontakt zu anderen, ohne dass es in erotische oder sexuelle Bereiche abgleitet. Es geht um achtsame und absichtslose Berührungen und den 100%-igen Respekt deiner individuellen Grenzen! Und wenn wir dann beim Zusammenliegen immer weniger tun, sondern nur noch sind, dann kann sich das schon mal wie ein “Kuschelhimmel” anfühlen … * Die Sicherheit des klar strukturierten und geleiteten Abends/Tages und gleichzeitig die Freiräume für Deine individuellen Bedürfnisse und Grenzen. * Die verschiedenen Ebenen von Kontakt und Verbindung: Berührungen, Worte, der energetische Kontakt (z.B. nur im Augenkontakt) und die Resonanz im Gruppen-Feld. * Die Stärkung von Selbstkontakt, Eigenwahrnehmung und “Gut-zu-sich-selber-sein”, denn der Kontakt zu anderen kann sich nur in dem Masse vertiefen, wie wir den Kontakt zu uns selber vertiefen können. * Die Öffnung für “die grösseren Räume”, die uns auf einer spirituellen Ebene nähren und verbinden, so dass Gefühle von Frieden und "Nach-Hause-kommen" durch die Gemeinschaft UND durch die Verbindung zum Grösseren genährt werden. * Die ganz persönlichen Momente, in denen du ganz entspannt, offen und echt anderen herzoffenen Menschen begegnest. Klare Kuschel-Regeln für mehr Sicherheit, Vertrauen und Entspannung gelten auch hier: Wenn du JA sagst bei deiner Anmeldung, sagst du JA zu den klaren Kuschelregeln: Beim VertiefungsKreis werden diese Regeln nicht mehr explizit genannt, da wir annehmen, dass sie bekannt sind. * Keine Berührung im Intimbereich und an erogenen Zonen. Keine Küsschen oder Hände unter dem TShirt. Erotische Energie wird nicht angefacht. Wir bleiben auf der Ebene des brüderlichen und schwesterlichen kuscheligen Herzens. * Du kannst dein Tempo jederzeit wählen, wie schnell und nahe du mit anderen sein möchtest oder wie oft du auch Momente für dich alleine brauchst. * Ein NEIN ist ein NEIN. Achte drauf, dass du deine und andere Grenzen des Wohlbefindens respektierst. **Zeiten:** 19:30-22:00h Einlass 19 Uhr bei einer Tasse Tee Bei Abenden mit Verlängerung bis 23h (wer will). **WO:** JupiterSpace, SeminarPavillon vom Jupiterhaus im Frankental; Frankentalerstrasse 55, 8049 Zürich **Mitbringen** bitte bequeme Kleider, warme Socken und bei Bedarf eine verschliessbare Wasserflasche. **Ausgleich:** 30.-, oder das, was du zahlen kannst. **Infos und Anmeldung:** Elana **[elana@sensual-healing.ch](mailto:elana@sensual-healing.ch)**, 0041 79 437 22 22 **Homepage: [https://kuschel-tempel.ch](https://kuschel-tempel.ch)** Wenn du regelmässig einen Reminder haben magst, kannst du dich gerne hier zum \*\*[Kuschel-Tempel-Newsletter ](https://Kuschel-Tempel/#Newsletter/)*anmelden.* ***Diese Kuschelveranstaltung ist für "Profi-Kuschler***" oder alle, die schon mindestens einmal bei uns oder in einer anderen Kuschelgruppe mitgekuschelt haben. **Neuanfänger** dürfen sich gerne zu den **offenen Abenden** anmelden.

Main Library, Meeting Room 2B Join us for a welcoming evening of reflection, gentle music, and meaningful conversation. We’ll begin with a short grounding moment, followed by a brief reading from spiritual or philosophical traditions, and an open reflection circle where participants can share (or simply listen). Libera Animae is an interfaith community focused on inner growth, creativity, and authentic connection. All backgrounds are welcome.

Let’s walk the gardens and enjoy what has spring has on display.

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.

This is a free, in person meeting. 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.

**Over time I'm hoping to organize a hike to all the Franklin County Metro Parks. This is the first one so if you're interested jump in!** **We'll start with the Canopy Walk, a cool feature of this park. Climb 100 stairs to the top - or take the elevator if stairs aren't your thing. At the top there are a bunch of things to play on - a rope bridge, a fireman pole that we can slide down - and more! About fifteen minutes there and we'll head to the natural trail, Buttonbush, Maple and Beech Trail for 2.2 miles then do a 1.7 mile loop on the paved Greenway Trail. We'll be passing our cars as we transition if you only want to do the first loop, or the second loop. Pace of around 3.5 mph but no one left behind.** **If there is an interest we can grab lunch nearby afterward at Prost Beer and Wine Cafe. Www.prostcafe.com**

Welcome, readers! Our April read is **_Martyr!_ by Kaveh Akbar.** The story follows a young Iranian American poet grappling with grief, addiction, and the aching question of what makes a life meaningful. Drawn into an unexpected friendship with a terminally ill artist, he begins to confront faith, love, and the seduction of self-destruction. Lyrical, darkly funny, and emotionally piercing, the novel wrestles with beauty and despair in equal measure. It’s a story about longing—to be seen, to be forgiven, and to matter. Looking forward to discussing with everyone! We will meet at Zaftig Brewing Co in their event room in the back. We are welcome to bring in our own food, but **drinks must be purchased at the bar.** Happy reading! 📖
