P.A.Z. - La Sindrome di BAJ
P.A.Z. - La Sindrome di BAJ
*English description below* Come un bookclub ma per i podcast. Ogni mese ci ritroviamo per parlare di un podcast che abbiamo ascoltato e scambiarci pareri, opinioni e consigli su nuovi e possibili ascolti. **Questo mese ascoltiamo La sindrome di BAJ,** un podcast di Daniele Vaschi / punkrocker’s autoproduzioni e Storielibere. Puoi ascoltarlo su **[Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/show/3yIaEdImgNw3HvXwREOQTf?si=w-Abw9aNQQy8qGRadbJVmQ&nd=1&dlsi=cdfde720538a433d "https://open.spotify.com/show/3yIaEdImgNw3HvXwREOQTf?si=w-Abw9aNQQy8qGRadbJVmQ&nd=1&dlsi=cdfde720538a433d"), [Apple Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/la-sindrome-di-baj/id1841399088 "https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/la-sindrome-di-baj/id1841399088") e [Amazon Music](https://music.amazon.it/podcasts/e77873ec-1535-48b1-ab89-ddcd99639733/la-sindrome-di-baj "https://music.amazon.it/podcasts/e77873ec-1535-48b1-ab89-ddcd99639733/la-sindrome-di-baj")** Puoi usare questo schema per annotare le tue riflessioni e condividerle poi con il resto del gruppo [https://bit.ly/fogliotqe_PAZ](https://bit.ly/fogliotqe_PAZ) *(Per scaricarlo è necessario avere un account Google)* ### Incantagioni Audio-EssayLa Sindorme di BAJ *[Dal sito storielibere.fm](https://storielibere.fm/la-sindrome-di-baj/)* Un viaggio dentro l'ossessione di Daniele Vaschi alla ricerca di Enrico Baj, in compagnia di Generali, ultracorpi, meccani e delle voci di chi ha conosciuto il pittore, il saggista, l’intellettuale patafisico. Cosa è successo a Daniele Vaschi? Perchè diciamoci la verità, cos’è un quadro? a cosa serve? chi è un artista? e poi perchè ci si deve sempre innamorare di qualcuno o qualcosa? Questa è: “ La sindrome di Baj. ### Cosa è P.A.Z. Podcast Ascolti Zurigo? Il miglior modo per conoscere un podcast è il passaparola. Solitamente questo viaggia attraverso i social media. P.A.Z., acrononimo che sta per Podcast Ascolti Zurigo nasce per scoprire cose nuove da ascoltare e avere la possibilità di parlarne con altri, in persona. Come un bookclub, ma per i podcast. #### *English Version* Each month, we gather to discuss a podcast we've listened to, sharing thoughts, opinions, and recommendations for future listens. This month we are listening to *BAJ Syndrome*, a podcast by Daniele Vaschi / punkrocker’s autoproduzioni and Storielibere.. You can listen to it on **[Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/show/3yIaEdImgNw3HvXwREOQTf?si=w-Abw9aNQQy8qGRadbJVmQ&nd=1&dlsi=cdfde720538a433d "https://open.spotify.com/show/3yIaEdImgNw3HvXwREOQTf?si=w-Abw9aNQQy8qGRadbJVmQ&nd=1&dlsi=cdfde720538a433d"), [Apple Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/la-sindrome-di-baj/id1841399088 "https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/la-sindrome-di-baj/id1841399088") e [Amazon Music](https://music.amazon.it/podcasts/e77873ec-1535-48b1-ab89-ddcd99639733/la-sindrome-di-baj "https://music.amazon.it/podcasts/e77873ec-1535-48b1-ab89-ddcd99639733/la-sindrome-di-baj")** ### *BAJ Syndrome* **From Storielibere.fm** A journey into Daniele Vaschi’s obsession in search of Enrico Baj, alongside Generals, ultrabodies, machines, and the voices of those who knew the painter, the essayist, the pataphysical intellectual. What happened to Daniele Vaschi? Because, let’s be honest—what is a painting? What is it for? Who is an artist? And why do we always have to fall in love with someone or something? This is “BAJ Syndrome.” ### What's P.A.Z.? The best way to discover a podcast is through word of mouth, usually traveling through social media. P.A.Z., an acronym for Podcast Ascolti Zurigo, was born to uncover new things to listen to and the chance to discuss them with others in person. Like a book club, but for podcasts. #### Is there an entry fee? The event is free (it would be nice to know how many of us are coming, so if you can, RSVP for free here). Everyone is free to order something at the bar at their own expense. #### Do I need to have listened to the entire podcast? No, you can come even if you haven't heard the entire podcast (but it's better if you have). #### Is the podcast to listen to always in Italian? Yes, currently, P.A.Z. aims to focus on Italian-language podcasts, and anyone who speaks Italian is welcome. #### I like it but I can't be there, what can I do? Feel free to contact me via the email you find on Eventbrite, and I will be able to keep you updated on upcoming events.

Badminton Wednesday 🏸
Badminton Wednesday 🏸
Welcome to the Winterthur Badminton Meetup! 🏸👊😉🍻 We’re an international group created for badminton fans in and around Winterthur. Open to Expats and Swiss folks who want to train and socialise with fellow ‘badmintonists’. Or perhaps you’d like to learn the sport and meet new people? Whether doing it for fun or fitness, the idea is to enjoy and have a great (kickass) midweek. And everyone is welcome to join us for a postgame drink or two! See yah! 😊 Important: We ask everyone to respect others who wish to play. That means dropping out if you won’t make it to the game by updating your RSVP. Keep in mind: RSVPs close at 21:00 two days before the event to give others enough time to plan. Anyone on the RSVP list who did not show up at the event is considered a "no-show". No-shows will still have to pay the shared cost of the court and shuttles. We keep track of no-shows and deprioritise them in future games. Please try your best to pay on the same day by Twint or in cash. With Twint, write in the comment the date and your name for reference. Cost will be around 12-20 CHF, depending on the amount of players joining and if we have to rent 1 or 2 courts. Note: If it's your first time joining, please send me a message for more details and to confirm your spot in the game. Otherwise, regular players will be given priority. Cheers, Elias

Grief Circle — Remembering Love, From Darkness to Light
Grief Circle — Remembering Love, From Darkness to Light
Ring at A.Kapros. Doors: 15:40-16:00 **A sacred space to honor sorrow, release pain, and remember love** At Yanantin Tribe, we open grief circles where heart, body, and spirit can meet. Inspired by ancestral traditions, we gather in community to carry what was never meant to be held alone. Here, darkness and light are both welcome — grief is not fixed or rushed, but witnessed with care. **Tickets & Support** This grief circle is offered freely as a community space. If you wish to support the continuation of these circles, you can choose the Support Ticket — CHF 25 via Eventfrog. ️Tickets & details: [https://eventfrog.ch/en/p/health-spirituality/health-wellbeing/grief-circle-remembering-love-from-darkness-to-light-7417591177858309023.html](https://eventfrog.ch/en/p/health-spirituality/health-wellbeing/grief-circle-remembering-love-from-darkness-to-light-7417591177858309023.html) A grief ritual is a communal gathering where sorrow is given space and form. We welcome all expressions of grief: personal loss, heartbreak, ancestral wounds, collective pain, or a quiet heaviness without a clear name. Through music, song, rhythm, movement, silence, and guided ritual, grief softens and reveals the love beneath it. **Bring: comfortable clothes, water bottle and your own cup for tea, curiosity** **The experience** * Enter a safe, held circle where all emotions are welcome * You may share, move, cry, sing, or remain silent — no pressure to speak * Place a personal item, photo, or symbol on a shared altar (optional) * Move through ritual practices that allow grief to be witnessed and released * Close with grounding and gentle integration so you leave supported **Why this circle matters** * Release unspoken or long-held grief * Be held without advice or fixing * Honor both sorrow and love * Heal personal, ancestral, and collective layers * **Practical info** * Held every two weeks on Sundays * Free to attend as a community offering * Donations welcome to support the continuation of these circles (entirely optional) * Bring: a token, photo, or personal item for the altar (optional) * Wear: comfortable clothing * Note: if you are in acute crisis or experiencing significant mental health challenges, please inform us so we can support you best * Impressions of past events: [https://yanantintribe.com/events-gallery/](https://yanantintribe.com/events-gallery/) **Additional support** András offers 1:1 grief support, death & dying accompaniment, and end-of-life presence alongside this community work: [https://psysoul.com/death-grief-sessions](https://psysoul.com/death-grief-sessions) This is not therapy. It is a facilitated ritual space rooted in consent, presence, and care. Come exactly as you are. You do not have to carry everything alone. **Personal Support & 1:1 Work with András** If you’re going through a period of transition, grief, burnout, relationship challenges, or feeling stuck, I offer **free 30-min Exploration Calls** to help you gain clarity and see if deeper 1:1 work is right for you. **Book here:** [https://calendly.com/andraskapros/psysoul-exploration-call](https://calendly.com/andraskapros/psysoul-exploration-call) Together, we remember love — and gently move from darkness to light.

Speak Easy (Storytelling)
Speak Easy (Storytelling)
The topic for April is "Water" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!

Shut Up & Write! Kingsdale Shopping Center
Greetings writers! Come down and join your fellow wordsmiths for one hour of uninterrupted writing time in the upper level of the Market District Supermarket in Upper Arlington. The main entrance of the shopping center opens onto stairs/elevator leading up to the 2nd floor cafe section where we will have a table displaying a sign with the Shut Up & Write logo. Writing is largely a solitary craft. Practicing with others in a community setting may be the thing you need to fire your own routine. We’ll meet on Wednesday evenings, starting the clock at 6:30, following a brief period of introductions. This is solid writing time and all inclusive. Any project is acceptable, be it fiction, non -fiction, work or homework assignment. All is welcome and will remain private to you. The market boasts a Starbucks, a full service bar and various affordable food options. Parking is plentiful, free Wifi is provided as well as outlets for charging your devices, though they are somewhat limited, so plan accordingly. Show up as early as you like, or stay late. This group tends to socialize some, both before and after the alloted time, but this is not mandatory to you. Feel free to come and go as you please and late arrivals are welcome. The cafe may be noisy on occasion so headphones/ earbuds are reccommended as you see fit. Please try to RSVP if possible so that we may grab enough seats for all—the venue can be busy at times. Feel free to message me privately wth any questions and/ or concerns you may have. Happy writing!
