\>\>\>\>\>\>\> 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/

Всем привет! This meetup is for those who learns or learned Russian and are looking for a group to practice it. I am a Russian language teacher and will help you during this event. The event repeats twice a month. There is a small fee of 5 CHF for the event. We will play word or board games, read poems, guess what a proverb or an idiom means and I might come up with other activities. If you have any suggestions let me know. The level of speaking should be B1 or higher. We will meet in the restaurant&bar of the Ibis Styles Hotel not far from Zurich HB. See you there! До скорого!

There are two big fields in Affoltern, just a few minutes away from the Zehntehnhausplatz bus station/Affoltern train station. Far away enough from the forest edge to not have problems with the leash requirements. We can start with the field behind the row of houses on Holderbachweg, and see if we should move on to the bigger field, a 2min walk away. The forest itself is close enough that we could extend to a leashed walk.

🎙️☕ The Unsung Lyrics An intimate Sunday afternoon of rhythm, emotion, and the hidden poetry of song. Join us for a unique Spoken Word session at the legendary Cabaret Voltaire — the historic birthplace of Dada, where words have always been a form of freedom and art. 📚 During this spoken word session, we will move away from the melody to focus on the power of the written word. We will explore iconic song lyrics not as music, but as potent dramatic texts. Behind every great anthem or ballad lies a poem waiting to be spoken. 🎶 In a supportive and calm atmosphere, we will: * Strip away the music: Select powerful song lyrics and rediscover them through the spoken voice. * Find the "flow": Experiment with pauses, breath, and cadence to give the words a new life. * Embody the emotion: Explore how a verse transforms when it is declaimed with intention, from a whisper to a proclamation. 🗣️ Bring your own "Poem-Song": You are warmly invited to bring the lyrics of a song that moves you. We will work together on how to speak these words, finding the rhythm that belongs only to you. No singing. No stage pressure. No need to be a performer. Whether you are a music lover, a theatre enthusiast, or simply curious about the strength of your own voice, there is a seat for you at our table in the Dada Library. 🍷 As a thank you to our hosts, please support the venue by ordering at least one drink at the bar. See you soon! ⌚ When: Sunday, April 12 | 1:45 PM – 3:30 PM 📍 Where: Cabaret Voltaire, Dada Library (1st floor)

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.

The topic for April is "Water" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!
