Join us for a relaxed and welcoming weekly **Buddhist Meditation** session suitable for beginners *and* experienced practitioners. Each week a Buddhist monk—Gen Kelsang Lachpa—offers simple yet profound guidance in meditation along with inspiration from Buddhist teachings. This is a great opportunity to find inner calm, clear your mind, and gain practical perspectives you can apply in daily life. **How to get there:** We generally meet at St. Gallen train station and take train to Sitterdorf at 18.37 and it's nice to talk to each other on the way during this 26 minutes ride :-) The Buddhist Temple is right near the train station. **What to expect:** * Guided meditation practice * Introduction to core Buddhist principles * Practical insights to support peace and mindfulness * A relaxed, friendly atmosphere for all levels 🔔 **Important note:** The main instruction and teaching are given in **German**, but the monk also speaks good **English** and is available for **short conversations in English after the session**, so everyone feels welcome. **Contribution: 10 CHF per person paid directly to the Buddhist Temple**

Eckhart Tolles „Tore ins Jetzt“: * Die lebendige Gegenwart * Den Inneren Körper spüren * Die Stille hinter den Worten * Den Raum der es allen Dingen ermöglicht zu sein * Loslassen des inneren Wiederstandes gegen das was ist (Hingabe)

Lust auf Abenteuer zwischen den Baumwipfeln? Wir machen gemeinsam den Seilpark Atzmännig unsicher! Ob du zum ersten Mal kletterst oder schon fast wie Tarzan durch die Lüfte schwingst - hier findest du deinen Weg über schwankende Brücken, wackelige Netze und luftige Höhen. Alles ist vorbereitet. Die Seile sind gespannt. Du musst dich nur noch einhängen. Nach dem Klettern lassen wir den Tag beim gemeinsamen Grillen ausklingen und kommen ins Gespräch: "Wer bereitet eigentlich Wege für uns vor? Und was heißt es, sich auf etwas einzulassen, das andere schon gesichert haben?" Ein Tag für Kopf, Herz, Muskelkater - und echte Gemeinschaft.

**History** [Chestnut Ridge Metro Park](https://www.metroparks.net/parks-and-trails/chestnut-ridge/) is historically significant because it sits on a 300-million-year-old outcropping of Blackhand sandstone. Geographically recognized as the very first foothill of the Appalachian Mountains, the ridge rises 1,116 feet above sea level. Long before European settlement, the land served as a sacred site for ancient civilizations. The park contains the Old Maid's Orchard Mound, an eight-foot-tall burial mound constructed by the Adena culture between 1000 B.C. and 100 B.C. This ancient landmark has remained largely intact and is now protected on the National Register of Historic Places. The documented modern history of the land began with an official survey conducted by Ebenezer Buckingham in 1801. Original land deeds of sale from this period notably bear the signatures of United States Presidents Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. In the 1830s, Irish laborers arrived at the ridge to quarry its rich Blackhand sandstone. The blocks they hewed were used to build the crucial locks for the nearby Ohio and Erie Canal. Remnants of this early sandstone quarrying operation can still be spotted by sharp-eyed hikers along the modern trails. Agricultural transformation defined the ridge throughout the mid-to-late 19th century. Settlers discovered that the high elevation created a natural air flow that prevented late-season frost damage to crops. Extensive fruit orchards were planted across the slopes between 1860 and 1880. One notable orchard was established by John Wagner, a Spanish-American War veteran who chose the ridge specifically for its proximity to the bustling Columbus market. The park's current name pays homage to the massive American chestnut trees that once dominated the ridgeline before a devastating ecological blight wiped them out in the early 20th century. The conservation story of the modern 486-acre park began in March 1962. The Metro Parks board announced land acquisition plans to block developers from building a residential housing development called Chestnut Heights. Director-Secretary Walter A. Tucker advocated heavily for the purchase, citing the ridge's immense value as a scenic overlook for central Ohio. The district systematically purchased multiple agricultural parcels over the next two decades. After operating strictly as undeveloped farmland through the 1970s, Chestnut Ridge Metro Park officially opened to the public on December 18, 1988. In recent decades, the park has evolved from a quiet hiking spot into a premier regional destination for outdoor sports. A major turning point occurred in 2010 when the Central Ohio Mountain Biking Organization (COMBO) partnered with the park district to develop new infrastructure. Volunteers worked extensively to construct a single-track mountain bike trail, which officially opened in October 2011. An expert gravity and flow trail featuring advanced jumps was later integrated into the loop in 2016. Today, the park successfully balances its deep ancient, industrial, and agricultural history with active recreation. **Map of the Park** Here is a [map of Chestnut Ridge](https://www.metroparks.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/CHR_map_1980px_2026.jpg). **Summary** For this event, we will hike the Ridge, Meadows, and Homesite Trails, and Law's Lane, which is unmarked on some maps. None of these trails is individually very long, so we will hike a few permutations and loops until we get in 4-5 miles. The hike will be moderately strenuous. **Where We'll Meet** Drive to the rearmost picnic area at the back of the park. There's a latrine here, but there's no water fountain here or anywhere else at Chestnut Ridge. I strongly recommend you bring some water of your own, at least for after the hike. Cell service at the park is spotty, although your GPS will get you there just fine. The map pin I've provided here is exactly where we'll be meeting and should be able to be used directly in Google Maps, although Chestnut Ridge isn't big and you're unlikely to get lost here. **After the Hike** Afterward, we'll head over to [BrewDog DogTap](https://drink.brewdog.com/usa/brewdog-dogtap-columbus) for [drinks](https://usa.brewdog.com/pages/brewdog-lineup) and [food](https://usa.brewdog.com/cdn/shop/files/DogTap_Menu_2025_65e1ff8b-97d4-4f26-80f1-68321d482025.pdf?v=17356939232910340498). They also have an outdoor area that's extremely popular. I've had their burgers and their pizza, and I think they're both very good. I also really like their [Cold Beer](https://usa.brewdog.com/products/cold-beer-2024) (that's its actual name), which is their American light lager. BrewDog's actual address is [96 Gender Rd, Canal Winchester, OH 43110](https://www.google.com/maps/place/96+Gender+Rd,+Canal+Winchester,+OH+43110/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x88387c06afa21a85:0x804c611d373d8c54?sa=X&ved=1t:242&ictx=111), and they have a large, free parking lot. We should be there by 5 if you can't make the hike and just want to join us for drinks.
