Hare is Just Beggin' For It It’s just a couple of weeks ago since we celebrated the birth of a king but this evening come join us to celebrate the birthday of the real King - Mr Elvis Presley. On this day, possibly also in a manger, King Elvis arrived in Mississippi, USA and introduced the world to Rock ‘n Roll with his sultry good looks and swivelling hips. The trail shall be inspired by the 3 stages of Elvis. We will have a dynamic and energetic start as we thrust our hips in excitement of what is to come. After a brief stint in the US army and some underwhelming movie performances we will then perform a comeback run (rebellious black leather attire optional). Finally we will pull on our white jump suits over our apparently unfit bodies from too much overindulgence in beer and Christmas junk food to crash to our knees in sweaty exhaustion. After circle we can retreat to our residency in one of the nearby neon lit up burger bars (dying on the toilet is not a requirement for this Hash). Thank you very muuuuuuch! **Where**: See location. Typically within Zurich Zone 10. Look for English speakers wearing running gear. **When:** We'll meet at 6:50 pm to start at 7:00 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.

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. 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. **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 * Remember grief as devotion, not weakness **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/](https://psysoul.com/death-grief/) 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. Together, we remember love — and gently move from darkness to light. Lovingly, Barbi, András 💕

Welcome cold lovers! We have been practising cold water plunges for over 4 years. We believe in the benefits of cold water exposure. The feeling you get after the swim is magnificent, it makes you feel alive. We have started this group to safely experience the cold water together. We motivate each other, do active warmup exercises, and also share our life stories with a warm coffee/tea afterwards. The event is every Sunday at 11:30, we meet at the Mythenquai Badi entrance no matter the weather. Take along: a large towel, comfortable bathing suit, flip-flops, and warm clothes (hat, gloves, etc). If you’re planning swimming out take along a bright swim buoy. The event is Free. IMPORTANT: Every participant takes responsibility for themselves when attending this event. Before attempting cold water exposure, individuals with health conditions (e.g., heart problems or hypertension) should seek advice from a healthcare professional. Safely acclimating the body to cold temperatures requires preparation and gradual exposure.

(English after the German text) **Achtsame Fotografie - Geschichten erzählen** *Treffpunkt: Auf der alten Bahnhofterrasse (siehe Eventfoto)* In diesem Mindful Photowalk werden wir der Limmat entlang wandern und zwei verlassene Orte besuchen. Die Gründe, warum diese verlassen sind, sind unterschiedlich. Beim alten Lettenbahnhof fahren heute keine Züge mehr, und die zweite Station ist die Lettenbadi, welche im Winter einsam und verlassen auf den nächsten Sommer wartet. Beide Plätze bieten eine tolle Gelegenheit für unseren achtsamen Fotowalk mit dem Ziel, mit wenigen, sehr bewusst geschossenen Fotos die Geschichte dieser Orte fotografisch zu dokumentieren. Du brauchst keine Vorkenntnisse, nur die Freude am Experimentieren, deine Kamera oder dein Smartphone und die Bereitschaft, dich auf das Neue einzulassen. Ich freue mich sehr darauf, mit euch bei dieser kleinen Stadtwanderung diese spannenden Orte zu erkunden. \-\-\- English \-\-\- **Mindful Photography Telling Stories** *Meeting point: On the old train station terrace (see event photo)* On this mindful photowalk, we will wander along the Limmat and visit two abandoned places. The reasons why these places are abandoned are different. No trains run at the old Letten station anymore, and the second location is the Lettenbadi, which waits quietly and deserted through the winter for the next summer. Both locations offer a great opportunity for our mindful photowalk, with the goal of documenting the story of these places through a few mindfully taken photos. You don't need any prior knowledge just a joy for experimenting, your camera or smartphone, and the willingness to embrace something new. I’m really looking forward to exploring these exciting places with you on this small city walk. \-\-\- PS \-\-\- (D) Dieser Spaziergang ist kostenlos, eine [Donation](https://tscharner.payrexx.com/pay?tid=861b78d0) zur Deckung der Unkosten ist sehr willkommen. (E) This walk is free, a [donation](https://tscharner.payrexx.com/pay?tid=861b78d0) to cover expenses is very much appreciated.

You will draw on high walls or sit at a table. My cosy apartment transformed into an artstudio welcomes you. We are a small group of 4 people.

Please bring your own curiosity, an old shirt, some comfortable slippers, readiness to get your fingers dirty and have fun. It's no race, no competition, no judging of what you create or others create. Location: 5 minutes from the lake, near the bus stop Kehlhof, in the picturesque vine village of Stäfa, 10 Minutes from Rapperswil, 20 minutes by train from Zürich Stadelhofen. I speak German, French, Dutch, Spanisch as well as English. The workshop will be led in the language of the majority of the attendees.

Join us for Slow Horses and a Book Exchange! In addition to our usual chat about the book, we’ll be exchanging books. Bring two books you’re willing to part with and we’ll exhange books. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- Welcome to the thrilling and unnervingly prescient world of the slow horses. This team of MI5 agents is united by one common bond: They've screwed up royally and will do anything to redeem themselves. This special tenth-anniversary deluxe edition of a modern classic includes a foreword by the author, discussion questions for book clubs, and an exclusive short story featuring the slow horses. London, England: Slough House is where washed-up MI5 spies go to while away what's left of their failed careers. The "slow horses," as they're called, have all disgraced themselves in some way to get relegated there. Maybe they botched an Op so badly they can't be trusted anymore. Maybe they got in the way of an ambitious colleague and had the rug yanked out from under them. Maybe they just got too dependent on the bottle-not unusual in this line of work. One thing they have in common, though, is they want to be back in the action. And most of them would do anything to get there-even if it means having to collaborate with one another. When a young man is abducted and his kidnappers threaten to broadcast his beheading live on the Internet, the slow horses see an opportunity to redeem themselves. But is the victim really who he appears to be?

The topic for January is "Chemistry" 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 7:00 pm, show starts at 7:30 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!
