A 1:1 Reiki journey where you receive focused healing, intuitive guidance, and space to reconnect with your inner flow. Discover more about me and my work on: https://thebecomingfield.com/

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

Welcome to a journey of deep relaxation connecting you back to yourself, to your heart, to your inner calm and intuition with effortless yoga nidra meditation, practiced lying down, sound healing and nourishing yoga in a friendly circle. Enjoy: * Stress, anxiety and tension relief * Deep relaxation * Better sleep * Emotional balance and uplift * Greater clarity and confidence * Enhanced creativity and intuition * Meaningful connections with others in the circle We share nourishing and healing yoga and breath practices with Yoga Nidra infused with Tibetan singing bowls to help you reduce the hold of stress, anxiety and tension. Rest deeply and come back to calm, balance and inner freedom. We journey together into deep rest and make space for more calm, peace and love in our hearts and in our lives. Each circle includes: **Nourishing gentle Yoga** **​** Gentle and transformative yoga practices to liberate the flow of energy and connect back to our source of vitality, blood wisdom and intuition. **Yoga Nidra** **​** Yoga Nidra is the antidote to the stress of life in today’s world. It is a zero effort practice of surrendering to all that is. Generally practiced lying down, yoga nidra brings you to a state of deep relaxation, allowing body and mind to restore. Yoga Nidra helps to disengage from thoughts and emotions and release anxiety and anger. It can also improve sleep, release tension and reverse symptoms of trauma and exhaustion. **​** **Sound Healing** **​** Sound healing is a gentle and powerful way to reach places in the body that are otherwise impossible to get to. Tibetan singing bowls bring immediate relaxation to body and mind, helping to disengage from thoughts and come into the present moment. Sound healing can help release tension and reduce the hold of stress, pain, fatigue, fear and other difficult emotions. Singing bowl vibrations help to bring us to an optimal state for self- healing. Everything is provided, just bring comfortable clothes. Suggested contribution is 30.= If cost is a barrier welcome to contribute as you can. Please WhatsApp or text me to join on 0782465091 as I don't use Meetup much, participants book via Whatsapp. [www.reconnectiorest.org](http://www.reconnectiorest.org/) Looking forward to sharing peaceful moments together. Love, Myriam

This weekend, Metal Night Vol. 8 at the Stadtchäller in Winterthur brings together three bands for an evening of hard rock and heavy metal in one of the region's most atmospheric underground venues. 🎶🖤 We will be going there together, not just to enjoy the music, but to support and cheer on our own **Alex**, who takes the stage twice that night, performing with both 13th Warbler and Shinra. Being the awesome artist and animal welfare champion that he is, he donates everything he earns from the event to animal welfare. He surely deserves an audience as cool as this group is. 😎✨ **More about the music:** **13th Warbler** is an operatic prog metal band from Zurich. Their music is a fascinating collision of heavy riffs, complex time signatures, and an 8-string guitar, all woven together with the soprano voice of their singer — theatrical, cerebral, and completely their own thing. https://13thwarbler.bandcamp.com/ **Shinra** is a Swiss modern metal band whose debut EP This Will Pass, released in 2025, explores themes of impermanence, consciousness, and the poetry of loss. https://shinra-metal.bandcamp.com/ **Upload**, hailing from Fribourg, is a relentless force in the heavy music scene, combining brutal intensity with haunting melodies. https://uploadofficialband.bandcamp.com/ **Tickets:** Tickets are available at the door for 25, or online for 20. It's recommended to buy online to guarantee your spot. https://eventfrog.ch/de/p/konzerte/hard-rock-heavy-metal/metal-night-stadtchaeller-in-concert-vol-8-7431815001181046120.html **The plan:** We meet at Zurich HB at 18.30 and take the train to Winterthur. Doors open at 19:30, so there's plenty of time to arrive and settle in before the first act takes the stage. Maybe you are a lifelong metalhead or have never set foot in a concert like this before. Regardless, this event is a chance to experience something new or familiar together, spend an evening with good people, and show up for someone in our community. 🌿🤘🖤

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.
