Hares (someone to set the route) are Slippery Digit and Squatty Potty. Come join us for a Saturday Winterfest Revival Run! **Where**: Uitikon! What a con indeed. We will chase the highs and more highs, surrounded hopefully still by beautiful snow and views of the mountains in the surrounding area of Uitikon. Meeting point is the Migros parking lot right next to the Zentrum Waldegg Bus stop, check meetup maps for directions. **When:** We'll meet at 1:50 pm to start at 2:00 pm. There's a charge of CHF 5 for participating, which covers all you can drink beer/cider (and non-alcoholic alternatives) plus snacks afterwards. **All Welcome:** If you are new, curious, and want to get out of the house, stretch your legs, talk shit, enjoy a drink, and hopefully a laugh, then here's what you need to know: • We are a social running/walking group, physical fitness is not required, but a sense of humour is useful. • The aim is to find the '*Beer Stop*' at the end of the '*trail*' and have fun. • 'True Trail' is typically 4-7 km. Some will go less (especially those walking or walk/running), and some over-achieving fast runners will go further. • The '*Hare*', which changes each event (along with location), cleverly lays the trail (typically with flour marks) so that everyone reaches the end at the same time. • There is always a place to deposit your bag and sometimes a place to change. • **After Trail**, we group for \~20-40 minutes for drinks, snacks, and some fun. This '*Circle*' is typically outside, so leave something warm in your bag in winter (and bring a flashlight when it's dark). If you don't want to stand around drinking afterwards, you can head home. We occasionally all go to a restaurant afterwards. **Why bother leaving your warm & dry sofa?** If you enjoy getting outside, being around people, and doing something a bit different, you will probably enjoy hashing. Exercise is important, and this is probably the least boring way to get it. 'Hashing' and the idea of some physical activity to work up a thirst, have been around for almost 90 years and there are groups (*Hashes*) in most major cities. Its humor and 'traditions' can be explored on the internet - **or you can just come along and find out.** *See you there.* We are of many nationalities, all ages, full of misfits and idiots (at least there is no one taking themselves seriously!) and always welcome newbies 'Virgin Hashers' and visitors from other groups.

**Czy doświadczasz jednego lub więcej objawów?** * Obniżony nastrój i brak energii * Problemy ze snem * Gonitwa myśli i niepoków * Napięciowe bóle głowy albo ból brzucha ze stresu? * Niskie libido * Rozdrażnienie **Na tym wprowadzającym warsztacie:** **Zrozumiesz** Emocje żyją w naszym ciele w równym stopniu co w naszym umyśle. Na warsztacie dowiesz się więcej na temat związku stresu, depresji czy lęków z fizycznymi dolegliwościami, takimi jak trudności z zasypianiem. **Poćwiczysz** Nauczymy się prostych ćwiczeń, które pomogą ci wyjść z głowy i lepiej poczuć ciało i emocje w nim żyjące. To nie są ćwiczenia fitness tylko nauka czucia i wyrażania emocji przez ciało. Praktyki są wynikiem ponad 20 lat pracy Aleksandra Lowena z pacjentami terapeutycznymi. **Wyregulujesz** Jednym z celów ćwiczeń somatycznych jest regulacja emocji i poprawa samopoczucia. Dążymy do tego, żeby czuć się spokojniej i mieć więcej energii. Jeśli będziesz regularnie wykonywać ćwiczenia poprawi się twój nastrój i samopoczucie. **Ćwiczenia lowenowskie: czego się spodziewać?** Metoda Lowena, zwana Analizą Bioenergetyczną to metoda psychoterapii przez ciało stosowana od lat 50. XX wieku. Jej twórca, psychiatra i terapeuta Alexander Lowen inspirował się klasyczną psychoanalizą Freuda i w oparciu o prace Wilhelma Reicha stworzył własną szkołę terapii psychodynamicznej. W tej metodzie terapii łączymy rozmowę z uważnością na sygnały z ciała oraz wyrażaniem emocji przez ruch i ekspresję. Metoda jest stale rozwijana i unowocześniana, czerpie m.in. z teorii przywiązana, wiedzy o systemie nerwowym czy traumie. Poza indywidualną terapią popularne są również grupy i warsztaty ćwiczeń lowenowskich. Mają one charakter rozwojowy i mogą być stosowane przez osoby zdrowe a także uzupełniająco przez osoby w terapii “mówionej” (po uzgodnieniu z terapeut/ką). **Twoja prowadząca:** Anka Grzywacz jest doradczynią bioenergetyczną (metody Lowena) SGfBA, po dwuletnim szkoleniu w Niemczech. Obecnie kontynuuje na IV roku szkolenie z psychoterapii ciała (analiza bioenergetyczna, metoda Lowena). Należy do International Institute for Bioenergetic Analysis. Swoją pracę poddaje regularnej superwizji. Ponadto Anka ma bogate doświadczenie i 1,5 roku szkolenia w zakresie prowadzenia warsztatów (Szkoła Warsztatu i Treningu Psychologicznego INTRA w Warszawie). Jest również seksuolożką. **Informacje praktyczne:** * Przytulne studio w pobliżu przystanku Triemli. * Mała grupa maksymalnie 7 osób (wszyscy bez względu na płeć). * Warsztaty otwarte dla wszystkich bez względu na płeć. Wiek od 18 lat. * Studio ma utrudnienia dostępu (można do niego wejść tylko po schodkach w dół). **Przeciwwskazania:** * Ciąża. * Historia epizodów psychotycznych lub przyjmowanie leków przeciwpsychotycznych. * Osoby przyjmujące leki przeciwdepresyjne mogą uczestniczyć w warsztatach, ale tylko wtedy, gdy czują się wystarczająco stabilne. Sugeruję najpierw skonsultować się z terapeut/ką lub psychiatrą. Praca somatyczna w grupie może być cennym uzupełnieniem psychoterapii opartej na rozmowie, pod warunkiem, że czujesz się stabilnie. * Wrażliwość na hałas, tupanie (niektóre osoby uwalniają emocje, wydając głośne dźwięki, niektóre ćwiczenia obejmują tupanie lub kopanie). * Jeśli masz inne poważne schorzenia lub przyjmujesz silne leki, proszę najpierw porozmawiaj z lekarzem lub wyślij mi wiadomość w celu wstępnej oceny. Tu opinia jednej z klientek: *“Miałam przyjemność pracować z Anką podczas sesji ćwiczeń somatycznych i jestem pod ogromnym wrażeniem jej wiedzy i podejścia. Od samego początku spokojne i intuicyjne wskazówki Anki sprawiły, że poczułam się całkowicie swobodnie. Starannie dostosowała sesję do moich potrzeb, udzielając jasnych instrukcji i tworząc bezpieczne, sprzyjające środowisko, które pozwoliło mi się całkowicie zrelaksować i połączyć z moim ciałem. Głębokie zrozumienie zasad somatycznych przez Ankę było oczywiste, a jej umiejętność delikatnego prowadzenia mnie przez każdy ruch sprawiła, że poczułam się bardziej świadoma, ugruntowana i jakby młodsza. Gorąco polecam Ankę wszystkim, którzy chcą zgłębiać ćwiczenia somatyczne lub pogłębiać połączenie między umysłem a ciałem"* **Bilety:** Podana cena to 62 CHF, została tak podana, żebym mogła wziąć na siebie prowizję systemu rezerwacyjnego. Pełna cena przy kasie wyniesie ok. 65 CHF. Bilety są bezzwrotne. Jeśli się rozchorujesz i przedstawisz zaświadczenie lekarskie, mogę przepisać Cię na podobny warsztat w kolejnych miesiącach. Ilość zapisów może nie odzwierciedlać rzeczywistości, gdyż warsztaty są ogłaszane w kilku miejscach. Obowiązuje zasada "kto pierwszy, ten lepszy" (w przypadku rezerwacji ponad limit obowiązuje lista oczekujących, w razie potrzeby zostanie zaproponowany dodatkowy termin lub zwrot wpłaty).

Viele Menschen kennen diesen inneren Kampf. Ein ständiges Dagegen. Gegen Gedanken. Gegen Gefühle. Gegen sich selbst. Man bemüht sich, versteht, hält durch. Nach aussen funktioniert alles. Doch innen bleibt Spannung. Ein Druck. Eine leise, anhaltende Erschöpfung. In dieser Samstagsgruppe geht es nicht darum, noch mehr zu analysieren oder sich weiter anzustrengen. Wir arbeiten auf einer Ebene, die dem Denken vorausgeht. Dort, wo innerer Widerstand entsteht – und wo er auch nachlassen kann. Was dabei geschieht, lässt sich nur schwer erklären. Aber es lässt sich erfahren. Oft überraschend unmittelbar. Oft deutlich entlastend. 👉 **Ein kurzes Video gibt einen Einblick in diese Arbeit:** [das unbewusste](https://youtu.be/D1ak1AxhSYA) Weitere Informationen findest du hier: 🌐 [selbstwert-trainer.ch](www.selbstwert-trainer.ch) Du musst nichts vorbereiten. Nichts erzählen. Nichts leisten. Du darfst einfach da sein und schauen, was sich zeigt. 📍 **Ort:** Praxis Ruoss Stampfli, Else Züblin-Strasse 15, 8047 Zürich 🕒 **Zeit:** Samstag, 10:00–12:00 Uhr 💰 **Beitrag:** Kollekte 📩 **Anmeldung:** per WhatsApp an **076 419 25 72**

**Walk description:** The hike starts at Meziken train station at 8:45. We will then walk to Sempachersee. We must reach it before 3 p.m. if we want to get to the Fastnacht Umzug on time. We will probably take a shorter path than the Komoot route. The section between point 4 and the end can be skipped if we decide not to visit Sursee city center. It depends on whether we are quick or slow. You need to be fit and have good hiking shoes [von Menziken nach Schenkon | Wanderung | Komoot](https://www.komoot.com/de-de/tour/2764315384?share_token=asrbWUsG0C4w3DtDuMTvzmyrzlaO9M8QupAp1nxtYqgupLUgOl&ref=wtd) **Fastnacht:** Here you have the programm.

(Because message in a WhatsApp channel can be read by a new member only 30 days before he joins. But you can already enter the corresponding WhatsApp group) If you are concerned about privacy, only the admin of a WhatsApp channel can see who has voted in a poll (unlike a WhatsApp group). Please sign up only when you are certain! You can also register through Meetup, as it helps build momentum; however, I rely only on the number of people who signed up through the WhatsApp survey.

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. * A held and conscious space * This gathering is held with respect, confidentiality, and presence. Everything shared in the circle remains within the circle. The use of alcohol or other substances before or during the gathering is not permitted. **Reserve your place** 👉 [https://www.mama-cacao.ch](https://www.mama-cacao.ch) **Upon registration you will receive:** Please join our group, to kwon the location and ask any question you have Men’s WhatsApp Group [https://chat.whatsapp.com/IslQaOq9plTGv6fFNRTRE9](https://chat.whatsapp.com/IslQaOq9plTGv6fFNRTRE9) Mama Cacao Community WhatsApp Group [https://chat.whatsapp.com/CbTg7sUdnB35gLX6jILEGS](https://chat.whatsapp.com/CbTg7sUdnB35gLX6jILEGS) Telegram Channel [https://t.me/+5Bu537lvzWplZjNk](https://t.me/+5Bu537lvzWplZjNk) Newsletter [https://www.mama-cacao.ch/contact-7](https://www.mama-cacao.ch/contact-7) This space is supported by **Dharma Collective**, with hearts aligned in support of the **Chakana Project**.

Dale Gnidovec, Curator of the Orton Hall Museum of Geology at The Ohio State University, will be presenting a program he has wanted to share with us for a long time: Plate Tectonics. His description of his program: Continents on the move - Nothing in Earth history makes sense without moving continents - it tells us why mountains, volcanoes, minerals, and fossils are where they are. This talk examines the evidence for continental drift, why it was disbelieved, and explains how the more-encompassing theory of plate tectonics was developed and eventually proven. Dale is an energetic, incredibly knowledgeable, and very entertaining speaker and this will be another wonderful program by Dale. Hope to see you there! Food and drinks will be provided at the event.

**⚔️ Introduction to Wargaming & Painting Miniature Soldiers at The Arcane Foundry ⚔️** Join me in **The War Room at [The Arcane Foundry](https://share.google/S5i6DYJnJteHWeKtd)** for a laid-back evening of hobby talk and tabletop fun! For just **$15**, you’ll get a **3D-printed regiment of 20 high quality resin models** of your choice to paint — a **$40 value!** Bring your creativity, relax, and let’s make something awesome together. **Choose one from Below:** * 20 Orc Warriors * 20 Empire Soldiers * 20 Dwarf Warriors * 20 Elf Spearmen Step into a world where strategy meets artistry — and where every painted figure tells a story of battle, honor, and imagination. Join **Daclaud** at **The Arcane Foundry** for an evening that introduces newcomers and enthusiasts alike to the timeless craft of **tabletop wargaming** and **miniature painting**. My own journey began with a fascination for fantasy — knights in armor, grim and hardened warriors, and monstrous creatures locked in epic battle. That passion led me to **Dungeons & Dragons**, where I painted my first **Basic Heroes set** and felt the spark that comes from bringing a character to life in miniature form. Not long after, I discovered **Warhammer Fantasy** and **Warhammer 40,000**, and I was hooked. The vision of vast armies clashing across the table — each unit meticulously painted, each story unfolding through dice and imagination — became my creative obsession. During this event, we’ll explore the **origins of wargaming**, from its early military simulations to the richly detailed worlds of modern tabletop battle systems. You’ll learn how to **build and customize your own armies**, paint your first figures, and experience the joy of turning strategy and storytelling into a hands-on art form. Whether you’re drawn by the lore, the hobby, or the thrill of commanding miniature legions, this introduction will open the gates to a world that has captivated hobbyists for generations. **🎨 RSVP today and join us at The Arcane Foundry — where every brushstroke and battle tells a story.**

As you may or may not know--I didn't until late last year--Aristotle wrote extensively on "friendship" in the Nicomachean Ethics. After 69 years the concept of friendship still creates questions and uncertainty. I had close friends in high school and for a few years after high school but our interests diverged and people moved all over the country so it was hard to maintain connections. * So if I/you haven't talked with a friend for several years, are you still friends? Are we friends who meet at Drunken Philosophy or Omnipresent Atheists? * Can you be friends with someone with whom you have virulently divergent political views? Sartre and Camus could not. * Aristotle regarded friendship as essential to a good life, not merely an added "bonus." Do you agree? * In the Nicomachean Ethics (Books VIII and IX), he claims that wealth and power are meaningless without friends. Trump has wealth and power but seems to have no real friends, but wealth and power seem meaningful to him in perverted ways. Can you have meaning in your life without friends? * Do men and women view and maintain friendships in different ways? * Aristotle categorizes friendship into three types, based on what forms the bond: * **Utility**: Based on mutual benefit, but this type is fragile and ends when the usefulness ceases. * **Pleasure**: Based on shared enjoyment (e.g., humor, hobbies). Common among youth but fades as interests change. * **Virtue (The "Complete" Friendship)**: Based on mutual respect for each other's character and goodness. You wish good for the other for their sake, not yours. * **Key Principles of "True" (Virtuous) Friendship:** * **Permanence**: Virtuous friendships last a lifetime whereas those based on utility and pleasure are fleeting. * **Reciprocity**: Requires mutual goodwill; secret or unreciprocated affection does not qualify. * **The "Second Self"**: A true friend is "another self"—their virtue helps you understand and improve yourself. * **Time and Intimacy**: Deep ("complete") friendships are few, built on time and shared experiences. * **Self-Love and Friendship:** * Good friendship starts with being a friend to yourself. * They distinguish shallow egoism (chasing honors) from real self-love (pursuing virtue). * A virtuous person’s pleasant self-company allows them to be a stable, good friend to others. * Aristotle argues that one's social circle ultimately reflects one's character—a view with striking relevance today. Well--the Drunken Philosophy social circle certainly reflects good character!

**People Analytics 101: Making Sense of Compensation Data** Compensation data is one of the most widely used and widely misunderstood forms of people analytics. The session will cover where compensation data comes from, including market pricing data, internal payroll data, and benchmarking sources, and how companies think about structuring and analyzing that information. We will explore how compensation data is leveraged to set salary ranges, manage internal equity, support hiring and retention, and align pay with business strategy. A portion of the session will address common data challenges and limitations, such as market noise, inconsistent job matching, and incomplete datasets, while keeping the primary focus on practical use rather than technical depth. The session will also look ahead at where the space is going, including the growing impact of pay transparency laws, expanding pay equity requirements, and emerging regulations in the US and Europe that require organizations to report on gender and pay gaps. The goal is to give attendees a clear mental model for how compensation analytics works today and why getting it right is becoming increasingly critical.
