Zurich MQ Think Gym

In Mantra Vibrations, participants will be guided through a profound experience of mantra chanting from the ancient Indian wisdom traditions of the Vedas and Upanishads. These sacred mantras are known for creating healing vibrations, elevating consciousness to a higher level where thoughts merge and new clarity emerges.

Meditation can be attained through both auditory and verbal methods. During this evening, we will be exploring and practicing this method of meditation using Vedic mantras and chants. The resonant, transformative vibrations of the chanting will fill the space, allowing participants to listen deeply, feel the waves of sound, and embark on an inward journey. This journey will help explore personal consciousness, leading to a state of inner peace and calmness. Each individual's experience will be unique, guided by the ancient wisdom encoded in the mantras.

The evening will culminate in a collective discussion where the meanings of the mantras are explored, and participants have the opportunity to share their personal journeys and insights. This workshop offers a rare chance to connect deeply with timeless spiritual practices and discover the healing power of mantra vibrations.

Yoga, more than a physical practice, is a profound spiritual discipline rooted in ancient Indian wisdom. It offers a systematic approach to exploring consciousness and ultimately realizing one’s highest potential. The Yogic traditions outline multiple paths to inner transformation, each providing unique insights into the nature of the self and its connection to the cosmos.

This session explores the key Yogic paths—Raja Yoga, Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, and Jnana Yoga—highlighting their philosophical foundations and practical applications. From meditation and selfless action to devotion and wisdom, these paths offer tools to navigate life’s challenges and deepen self-awareness.

The Yogic teachings emphasize balance, discipline, and integration, guiding seekers toward inner harmony and conscious awakening. Through this exploration, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the timeless relevance of Yoga in modern life.

WHY ATTEND:
In this session, you will:

• Discover the philosophical foundations and practices of key Yogic paths.
• Understand how Yoga approaches consciousness and self-realization.
• Contemplate techniques to integrate Yogic wisdom into daily life.

Have you ever felt a flutter in your heart while listening to a poem? Or been in awe of their delicate description or hidden messages? These moments awaken the power of the human mind and heart in harmony. Poems are not just words; Poems come from the heart, weaving together emotions with wisdom and imagination. This blend of heart and mind makes poetry a unique form of expression, where feelings find clarity and thoughts become vivid through imagery.

In this series of events, we want to create an inspiring night of connection and interaction through poetry. Together, we’ll explore the voices of poets from around the world, share their words, and explore the emotions, thoughts, and insights they evoke. This is your opportunity to not only experience poetry but to be part of a community where you can also share with us your or your favorite poets’ work.

Join us and immerse yourself in the world of poetry, where heart and mind unite to spark something truly transformative.

WHY ATTEND:
In this evening, we will together:

• Learn about different poets around the world
• Discuss the insights that we find in each poem
• Share poems, wisdom, and some snacks
• Connect with a community of people who like poetry

It is not meant to be an expert discussion or lecture but rather an open evening and conversation about poetry, where everyone is welcome to contribute.

The seats are limited to 24, so reserve early! We would request a recommended space donation of CHF 20-25.
