**Jak odzyskać ochotę i radość z intymności, gdy masz małe dzieci** Bilety: [https://www.eversports.ch/org/activity/d31af71c-46c0-4183-8b93-7fdf71100e2a](https://www.eversports.ch/org/activity/d31af71c-46c0-4183-8b93-7fdf71100e2a) Macierzyństwo jest piękne, jednak wiele młodych mam po porodzie traci ochotę na zbliżenia. Nieprzespane noce, stres, przeciążenie potrafią w krótkim czasie całkowicie „wyłączyć” nasze kobiece libido. Do tego seks staje się często mniej przyjemny. Nagle, coś co kiedyś było ekscytujące staje się dla nas kolejnym obowiązkiem do wypełnienia. Jeśli taka sytuacja się utrzymuje, wiele par zaczyna przeżywać kryzys w związku. Seksualność po porodzie się zmienia i im wcześniej zajmiesz się tym tematem, tym szybciej odzyskasz radość i przyjemność z intymnych chwil. **Czego możesz się spodziewać po warsztacie?** * Porozmawiamy o tym, co zmienia się z życiu intymnym młodej mamy, nie tylko na poziomie fizycznym, ale także emocjonalnym. * Dostaniesz wskazówki, jak minimalizować dyskomfort i ból. *Uwaga: jeśli doświadczasz silnego bólu podczas stosunku, powinnaś także poradzić się lekarki/lekarza.* * Spojrzymy na temat zmęczenia i braku energii i poszukamy realistycznych rozwiązań, które naprawdę możesz wdrożyć (zamiast krzykliwych porad z social mediów czy kolorowych magazynów). * Będziemy delikatnie się ruszać, aby ożywić naszą zmysłowość i odzyskać kontakt z naszym ciałem. Dostaniesz też jedno somatyczne ćwiczenie na poprawę libido. * Po warsztacie będzie chwila na pogaduszki i szansa na poznanie innych polskich mam. * Bilety: 60 CHF Early Bird, 70 CHF cena regularna **Kto poprowadzi warsztaty?** Anka Grzywacz jest psycholożką, seksuolożką i psychoterapeutką metody Lowena (psychoterapia przez ciało). Jest też mamą dziewięciolatka 😊Anka prowadziła w Radio TOK FM popularną audycję „Dobry Seks”, a w Zurychu wystąpiła na prestiżowej konferencji TEDx opowiadając o… wystarczająco dobrym seksie. **Czy na warsztaty można przyjść z dzieckiem?** Będziemy rozmawiać o intymnych tematach, które wymagają skupienia. Sama jestem mamą i wiem jak wygląda dynamika wychodzenia gdzieś z małym dzieckiem. Na podstawie wcześniejszych doświadczeń istnieje możliwość przyjścia z maluszkiem, dzieckiem niechodzącym, ale prośba o to, aby jeśli dziecko mocno płacze zabdać o komfort innych uczestniczek - można wyjść poza salę, są na zewnątrz kanapy i fotele. Nie zapraszam z biegającymi dziećmi, bo to może zbytnio zaburzać atmosferę warsztatu. Ze starszymi dziećmi też nie, bo tematy dotyczą jednak seksualności osób dorosłych. Jeśli masz taką sytuację, że w ogóle nie masz z kim zostawić dziecka, jest możliwość umówienia się na indywidualne sesje w gabinecie lub nawet online i rozmowy i Twoich problemach.

**A creative walk & talk for designers and creatives** Join us for a half-day walk and talk along the scenic Uetliberg ridge, designed to connect outside the usual networking format. No presentations. No panels. Just great people, ideas, and a shared path. We start at Triemli Station and hike up through the forest to Uto Staffel (about 1.5 hours), guided by [Mario Stipetic](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mariostipetic/). From there, we continue into a relaxed 1 to 1.5 hour ridge walk along the Planetenweg with views over Zürich, the lake, and the Alps. Conversations unfold naturally along the way. We move in small groups, rotate, and share thoughts on current projects, creative challenges, and topics like AI in design, or whatever emerges in the moment. We end at Gut Mädikon Hofcafé, a hidden farm café, where we spend about one hour enjoying coffee, homemade cake, and relaxed conversation. This is networking without the pressure. Just movement, fresh air, and meaningful exchange. See you there! 😇 **WhatsApp Group (Coordination)** We’ll send the WhatsApp invite after you RSVP. You can also join via Discord below. —— **The Easy Route** Prefer to skip the steep climb? Take the S10 train from Zürich HB to Uetliberg (about 20 minutes), then walk down to Uto Staffel and meet us there around 11:00 AM. Timing will be coordinated via the group on the day. **Getting Back** We walk back along the ridge to Uetliberg, either retracing the Planetenweg or taking the path near the Uetliberg tower. From there, walk down to Triemli station and catch the train home. **Physical Fitness** The initial climb takes about 1.5 hours and is steep, requiring a reasonable level of fitness. If you are unsure, take the easy route. The views are the same, and the Hofcafé cake tastes just as good. **RSVP** If your plans change and you can no longer attend, please update your RSVP so we can adjust the reservation at the Hofcafé. —— **📅 Date** Sunday, June 7, 2026 **📍 Meeting Point (Start)** 10:00 AM at Triemli Station, Zürich **⏰ Duration** \~6 to 7 hours total (including lunch break) **🥾 Difficulty** Moderate (steep initial climb) **⛰️ Elevation gain** \~320 m (485 m > 805 m) **🎒 What to bring** * Hiking shoes or sturdy trail shoes (no sneakers, no sandals) * Water bottle (at least 0.5L) * Weather-appropriate layers (cooler in the forest, windy on the ridge) * Optional snack * Sun protection (hat or cap, sunscreen) **🚶 Return** \~13:30 from Hofcafé —— **🔗 Discord** Get event reminders and connect with other members on Discord: ➡️ [discord.gg/PAyRBDhKkk](http://discord.gg/PAyRBDhKkk) —— **Who’s Visual Fields?** Visual Fields is a network of designers and creatives built for people to connect, support, and share with fellow experts.

**Brief description:** Starting from Urnäsch, we set off on an uphill hike towards the Hochalp, where we are treated to fantastic views of the Säntis and the Alpstein region. Continuing past the Alp Oberer Chenner, the trail offers steep but highly rewarding climbs to the striking Hochfläschen and the Spicher, where a breathtaking 360-degree panorama awaits, reaching all the way to Lake Constance. Finally, leaving the rugged mountain paths behind, we enjoy a peaceful change of scenery, walking dry-footed across the beautiful wooden boardwalks of a tranquil moorland before arriving at our final destination, Schwägalp.

Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD

Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required. 🛠️ What to Bring Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go. AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!) 🍕 Logistics & Perks Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided!
