Sunday Deep Relaxation: Restorative Yoga + Sound Bath
An evening to pause, soften, and reconnect with yourself, as we move deeper into the new season.
Join us for a **90-minute Restorative Yoga & Sound Bath** experience, designed to help you slow down, release accumulated tension, and create space for renewal.
Supported by bolsters and blankets, you will gently settle into calming restorative postures, allowing your breath to soften and your body to unwind.
From there, you’ll be guided into a deeply relaxing **sound bath**, where the vibrations of Tibetan bowls, chimes, and therapeutic instruments help regulate the nervous system, quiet the mind, and bring you into a state of deep rest.
This session is your invitation to step out of the noise of everyday life
and into a space of stillness.
To reset your energy.
To reconnect with yourself.
To land — grounded, clear, and at ease.

Grief Circle — Remembering Love, From Darkness to Light
Ring at A.Kapros. Doors: 15:40-16:00
**A sacred space to honor sorrow, release pain, and remember love**
At Yanantin Tribe, we open grief circles where heart, body, and spirit can meet. Inspired by ancestral traditions, we gather in community to carry what was never meant to be held alone. Here, darkness and light are both welcome — grief is not fixed or rushed, but witnessed with care.
**Tickets & Support**
This grief circle is offered freely as a community space.
If you wish to support the continuation of these circles, you can choose the Support Ticket — CHF 25 via Eventfrog.
️Tickets & details:
[https://eventfrog.ch/en/p/health-spirituality/health-wellbeing/grief-circle-remembering-love-from-darkness-to-light-7417591177858309023.html](https://eventfrog.ch/en/p/health-spirituality/health-wellbeing/grief-circle-remembering-love-from-darkness-to-light-7417591177858309023.html)
A grief ritual is a communal gathering where sorrow is given space and form. We welcome all expressions of grief: personal loss, heartbreak, ancestral wounds, collective pain, or a quiet heaviness without a clear name. Through music, song, rhythm, movement, silence, and guided ritual, grief softens and reveals the love beneath it.
**Bring: comfortable clothes, water bottle and your own cup for tea, curiosity**
**The experience**
* Enter a safe, held circle where all emotions are welcome
* You may share, move, cry, sing, or remain silent — no pressure to speak
* Place a personal item, photo, or symbol on a shared altar (optional)
* Move through ritual practices that allow grief to be witnessed and released
* Close with grounding and gentle integration so you leave supported
**Why this circle matters**
* Release unspoken or long-held grief
* Be held without advice or fixing
* Honor both sorrow and love
* Heal personal, ancestral, and collective layers
*
**Practical info**
* Held every two weeks on Sundays
* Free to attend as a community offering
* Donations welcome to support the continuation of these circles (entirely optional)
* Bring: a token, photo, or personal item for the altar (optional)
* Wear: comfortable clothing
* Note: if you are in acute crisis or experiencing significant mental health challenges, please inform us so we can support you best
* Impressions of past events: [https://yanantintribe.com/events-gallery/](https://yanantintribe.com/events-gallery/)
**Additional support**
András offers 1:1 grief support, death & dying accompaniment, and end-of-life presence alongside this community work:
[https://psysoul.com/death-grief-sessions](https://psysoul.com/death-grief-sessions)
This is not therapy. It is a facilitated ritual space rooted in consent, presence, and care.
Come exactly as you are.
You do not have to carry everything alone.
**Personal Support & 1:1 Work with András**
If you’re going through a period of transition, grief, burnout, relationship challenges, or feeling stuck, I offer **free 30-min Exploration Calls** to help you gain clarity and see if deeper 1:1 work is right for you.
**Book here:**

Together, we remember love — and gently move from darkness to light.

Barbi, András

Divine Masculinity and Sacred Brotherhood
A space to return to what is essential
We invite you to take part in a ritual gathering for men, created for those who feel the call to pause, breathe, and reconnect with their inner strength in a safe and authentic space.
We gather in the forest, around the grandfather fire, to share ceremonial cacao and form a circle of presence, listening, and brotherhood.
This is not a workshop, nor a talk, nor a “self-improvement” experience.
It is a living space of encounter, where each man is welcome exactly as he is.
There are no hierarchies here, no masks to wear.
Only men walking their own path, supported by the strength of the circle.
**Who is this gathering for?**
* This circle is open to men who:
* Seek a more honest connection with themselves.
* Feel the desire to inhabit their masculinity with greater awareness and maturity.
* Value silence, authentic speech, and presence.
* Wish to experience brotherhood beyond competition or judgment.
* Are willing to listen and to be listened to.
* No previous experience with circles, rituals, or spiritual practices is required. Only a willingness to be present.
**What we will experience together**
During this gathering of approximately two hours, we will move through simple yet profound practices, guided with care and clarity:
* Ceremonial Cacao Circle, Cacao as a heart medicine, supporting openness, listening, and authentic expression.
* Sacred Fire, The grandfather fire as the center of the gathering, witness to our intentions and processes.
* Meditation and Presence, Moments of silence and inner connection, held by the group.
* Talking Circle, A safe space to share from truth, without advice or judgment.
* Connection with Nature: The forest as a living temple that reminds us of what truly matters.
* Expression and Rhythm: An optional moment of music, song, or percussion to integrate the experience.
Each gathering honors the energy of conscious masculinity, integrating strength and sensitivity, direction and openness.
**Practical information**
Duration: Approximately 2 hours
Location: Forests of Zurich (The exact location is shared after registration)
Energy exchange: Single ticket: 30 CHF Brothers ticket (2 people): 50 CHF
Places are limited to preserve the quality and intimacy of the circle.
**What to bring**
* A cup for ceremonial cacao
* A water bottle
* Wood for the fire
* An offering for the altar (fruit, seeds, a photo, or something that represents love and gratitude)
* Notebook and pen
* Musical instrument (optional)
* Comfortable, warm clothing for outdoor conditions
* Something light to eat after the gathering
* We recommend fasting for at least 2 hours beforehand, as we will be working with ceremonial cacao.

Everything shared in the circle remains within the circle.
The use of alcohol or other substances before or during the gathering is not permitted.

a Spring Hike!
🌸 Join Us for a Spring Hike Through History and Legend!
April is here, the hills are waking up, and there's no better way to celebrate the season than a fantastic day out in the fresh spring air! Come join us for a hike through one of the region's most scenic and storied landscapes — wildflowers in bloom, birdsong in the trees, and the smell of the forest after a spring shower. Pure bliss.
We'll set off from Pfungen and climb up to the Multberg, the views already magnificent as the countryside shakes off winter. From there we cross over to Berenberg — where we'll explore the atmospheric ruins of the former Monastery Berenberg, a truly magical spot steeped in centuries of history. From there, we descend into charming Wülflingen and push back up through lush spring forest trails towards Töss.
The highlight? Passing through the legendary Totentäli — a place wrapped in myth and mystery — now featuring a brand-new bridge over the ponds. With the spring light filtering through the trees, it promises to be simply breathtaking.
We'll finish in Töss, right at the Bus 1 stop, so getting home is a breeze.
📅 Date: Sunday, April 19
📍 Meeting Point: Train Station Pfungen (Meeting Point)
🕥 Meeting Time: 10:45 AM
🏁 Estimated Return: Between 2:00 and 3:00 PM at Winterthur HB
📏 Distance: 8.6 km (feels like a 12 km hike thanks to \~300 m of elevation gain)
🚆 Getting There — take the S41 (direction Bülach):
• From Winterthur HB: depart 10:36 AM → arrive Pfungen 10:45 AM
• From Winterthur Töss: depart 10:39 AM → arrive Pfungen 10:45 AM
✅ What to bring:
• Sturdy hiking boots
• Plenty of water
• Snacks to keep your energy up along the way
Whether you're a seasoned hiker or simply ready to shake off the last of winter — this is the perfect spring adventure. Come join us! 🌿

CMG Gives Back: Serve Brunch at FAITH MISSION GRANT KITCHEN!
Join us as we get together to get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event! We have a great little community of Movie Group friends so rather than see a movie this time, we’ll help “create a better world” by helping serve those in need. Here are complete details and our plan for this event:
FAITH MISSION – GRANT KITCHEN: The Faith Mission kitchen and dining room serves residents 3 meals a day, every day of the year. For this event, our group will help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents in the dining room, wash dishes, and clean surfaces.
PLAN: We will be preparing / serving / cleaning for BRUNCH from 10:30am to 12:30pm and have space for a total of 7 volunteers. Please arrive at 10:20am and wear closed-toe shoes and long pants.
LOCATION: Faith Mission – Grant Kitchen is located at 245 N. Grant Ave. Enter the kitchen at Dock 1 (in the back of the building), indicated in the attached map. On-site parking in the adjacent lot and street parking is available in the surrounding area. Below are some links / attachments with additional info/details:
IMPORTANT REMINDER: Our group will be providing all of the volunteers on this day so a firm RSVP count is essential. Please only sign up if you are certain you’ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please try to update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. With few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1
week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve. Our Partner Agency for this event is Lutheran Social Services! A huge THANK YOU to all of YOU for volunteering at this (and any of our previous) CMG Gives Back events!
Should be a good/fun/meaningful time together, Dan
Lewis Center Networking Lunch

We have a speaker each week so that we can learn about their business.

All visitors are welcome. Any questions contact [pmarchio@farmersagent.com](mailto:pmarchio@farmersagent.com)
COUNT monthly event: Kitchen service at Van Buren Center's shelter
Come assist Van Buren Shelter (https://ymcacolumbus.org/locations/vanburen) staff in serving dinners and cleaning up on the 3rd Tuesday of each month. Dinner for the women is 5-6 pm and for the families is 6:15-7:15 pm. There is ample free parking available in the shelter's lot. The recommended area to park is in green in the image above.
There will be a new entrance for the time being. We are asking all volunteers to enter through the Donation Dock door, the orange mark on the image above. This door is located between the Single Adults and Family Shelter. You will see 2 large garage doors with a large green trash compactor in the center. Please head to the closest garage door to the building wall, with a ramp leading up. There, you will see a door with a sign stating instructions on how to enter the building. Please ring the doorbell, and a staff member will come and escort you into the building. If a staff member takes longer than 5 minutes, please call the front desk at 614-689-2020. This is a new process for us, and we do not want to keep you waiting! We appreciate your patience as we navigate this temporary change.
The shelter needs a volunteer count the day before the event so sign-up ends Monday at 4:50 PM. Afterwards some of us go to the Omnipresent Atheists Weekly Meetup in progress to have a bit to eat or drink (http://www.meetup.com/omnipresentatheists/).
Volunteers must be 14 or older. Since we will be working around families, the YMCA does not permit volunteering by individuals with convictions for violent or sexual crimes. The YMCA reserves the right to run background checks on volunteers.
For questions, comment on this page or contact: Andrew, awhit12@yahoo.com, (614)937-5802 (cell). Please let Andrew know if you volunteer anytime other than our COUNT events so that he can count your hours toward our service record.
