**ALL YOU CAN CREATE** is the perfect offer for anyone who wants to be creative without committing to just one technique. Inspired by the "All You Can Eat" principle, you can try out and combine different creative workshops all day long, setting your own pace. Whether painting, crafting, embroidering, or decorating – at **All You Can Create,** your creativity takes center stage. In a relaxed and open atmosphere, you have the opportunity to choose from a variety of **creative techniques** and realize your own projects. This program is suitable for both beginners and experienced creative individuals. You don't need to be perfect at anything – the only important thing is that you enjoy creating something. ### What can you do at All You Can Create? **Decoding** involves decorating everyday objects like picture frames, cases, mirrors, jewelry boxes, etc., with a creamy paste and playful details. This technique is particularly popular because it delivers quick, visible results and leaves plenty of room for imagination. **Coloring** allows you to relax and fully concentrate on colors and shapes. Whether using templates or freehand designs, coloring helps you unwind and is ideal for creative breaks between other projects **.** When **designing jewelry,** you create your own accessories. Whether bracelets, necklaces, or earrings – here you can combine colors, shapes, and materials to create something personal. **Punch needle** offers a relaxing textile technique where you create textured patterns and small works of art using yarn and a needle. This technique is easy to learn and ideal for beginners. We also **offer nail services** . For hygiene reasons, we ask that you bring your **own nail file and nail polish** . ### A rule like at an all-you-can-eat event. Just like with "All You Can Eat," there's only **one important rule at All You Can Create** : **You must complete your project.** If a project appears incomplete, an **additional fee of 10 CHF** will be charged. This rule helps ensure that the creative space is used fairly for everyone and motivates participants to consciously complete their projects. ### When does All You Can Create take place? **Between 13:00 and 17:00** ### Who is All You Can Create for? **For everyone!** Children, teenagers, and adults are all welcome. All You Can Create is ideal for anyone who wants to unwind, be creative, try new things, and create something without pressure. Whether alone, with friends, or as a creative break – here you'll find space for ideas and inspiration.

Open Sharing Circle ✨ Dieser Circle findet auf Deutsch statt. Wir kommen zusammen, um im Moment präsent zu sein und uns so zu zeigen, wie wir wirklich sind. Die Intention ist, in einem sicheren und vertrauensvollen Raum zu teilen — Gedanken, Emotionen, Ziele, Meinungen — alles, was sich für dich im Moment lebendig anfühlt. Niemand muss etwas teilen, und jede*r ist willkommen. ⸻ Worum geht es? • Stärkung von Selbstwahrnehmung & Selbstvertrauen • Persönliches Wachstum • Aufbau tiefer Beziehungen & Vertrauen • Menschen auf einer echten, menschlichen Ebene kennenlernen • Sich frei fühlen, sich authentisch auszudrücken ⸻ Circle-Vereinbarungen Frei & freiwillig Du darfst alles teilen, was du möchtest — und musst nichts teilen. Sprich aus deiner eigenen Erfahrung Teile aus deiner persönlichen Perspektive: deine Erfahrungen, Gedanken, Gefühle und Wahrnehmungen. Der Raumhalter kann dich dabei sanft unterstützen, indem er als Zeichen eine Hand auf die Brust legt. Respekt & Vertraulichkeit Wir begegnen uns respektvoll und ohne zu urteilen. Was im Circle geteilt wird, bleibt im Circle. Rede-Objekt Nur die Person, die das Rede-Objekt hält, spricht. Verständnisfragen sind willkommen. Redezeit & Raum teilen Nimm dir Zeit beim Teilen und lass gleichzeitig Raum für andere. Ratschläge & Unterstützung Sprich für dich selbst und gib Ratschläge nur mit Einverständnis. Bitte frage ausdrücklich nach, wenn du Ratschläge oder Unterstützung möchtest. Trigger & Emotionen Jede*r ist für die eigenen Gefühle und Themen selbst verantwortlich. Starke Emotionen (z. B. Weinen) sind willkommen und werden respektiert. Unterstützung wird nur angeboten, wenn sie gewünscht ist. Eigene Bedürfnisse Kümmere dich selbst um deine Bedürfnisse (WC, Essen usw.) und respektiere den Gruppenraum. Raumhalter Das Organisationsteam wählt Raumhalter, die den Ablauf des Circles unterstützen und darauf achten, dass die Vereinbarungen eingehalten werden. Der Circle kann bei Bedarf sanft unterbrochen werden. Fokusrunde Der Raumhalter kann intuitiv eine kurze Fokusrunde initiieren, wenn es unterstützend wirkt. Mobiltelefone Bitte schalte dein Handy auf lautlos und nutze es nur für Notizen, falls nötig. Zeit Dauer: ca. 3 Stunden. Du kannst jederzeit gehen, idealerweise während der Pausen (etwa alle 45 Minuten). Nach dem Circle gibt es Raum, um zu bleiben, sich zu verbinden oder weiter zu teilen, wenn du magst.

**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-7417591177430489924.html](https://eventfrog.ch/en/p/health-spirituality/health-wellbeing/grief-circle-remembering-love-from-darkness-to-light-7417591177430489924.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.

< \* \* \* English version below \* \* \* > DE Wir treffen uns jeden ersten Sonntag im Monat um immer wieder an einem anderen Ort in Zürich zu zeichnen oder zu malen, was wir sehen und mögen. Dieses Mal besuchen wir den Zoo Zürich. Neben all den Aussengehegen bietet der Zoo auch genug warme Innenräume um Tiere, Pflanzen, Menschen oder auch die Zoo-Architektur im Skizzenbuch festzuhalten. Die Masoala Regenwaldhalle, der Kaeng KrachanElefantenpark oder natürlich das Aquarium sind wohl die grössten Beispiele. Wir treffen uns bereits im Zoo, direkt nach dem Haupteingang. Bitte plant genug Zeit für die Kasse ein, damit wir um 11:00 im Zoo gemeinsam loslegen können. Für diejenigen, die es erst später schaffen, werde ich den zweiten Treffpunkt für 13:00 während des Events unten in den Kommentaren posten. 20% RABATT EWZ-Kund\*innen können Tickets vorab mit 20% Rabatt online kaufen. Weitere Infos: https://www.ewz.ch/de/kundenvorteile/zoo-zuerich.html Bitte bringt euer eigenes Zeichenmaterial und wer mag auch einen kleinen Stuhl. Keine Vorkenntnisse nötig. Anschliessendtreffen wir uns wieder und teilen unsere Ergebnisse.

This time we visit the Zurich Zoo. Besides all the outdoor enclosures, the zoo also offers enough warm indoor spaces to capture animals, plants, people or even the zoo architecture in the sketchbook. The Masoala Rainforest Hall, the Kaeng Krachan Elephant Park or of course the Auqarium are probably the biggest examples. We meet already in the zoo, directly after the main entrance. Please plan enough time for the cashier, so that we can start together at 11:00 at the zoo. For those who can't make it until later, I will post the second meeting place for 13:00 during the event below in the comments. 20% DISCOUNT EWZ customers can buy tickets online in advance with 20% discount.

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 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!
