Soundhealing - Klangreise mit Gong & Kristallschalen (Baden)
English below.
Bei unserer Klangreise bringen wir dich mit den Kristallschalen in tiefe Entspannung. Anschliessend erzeugt der Klang des Gongs kraftvolle Wellen, die durch den ganzen Körper fliessen, jede Zelle berühren und jeden Gedanken und jedes Gefühl klären und harmonisieren. Du wirst alles loslassen, was du nicht mehr benötigst.
Der Gong führt dich genau dorthin, wo deine Seele sein möchte. Unsere Reise geht mit den vier Elementen (Feuer, Luft, Erde und Wind) weiter. Dein Herz wird spüren, was du als Nächstes benötigst, und du wirst Antworten aus deinem Inneren erhalten.
💫 Mögliche Wirkungen der Klangtherapie:
• Tiefe Entspannung
• Befreiung von Anspannung
• Abbau von Stress und Ängsten
• Verbesserter Schlaf und erhöhte Konzentration
• Regeneration des Nerven- und Hormonsystems
• Emotionales und energetisches Gleichgewicht
• Auflösung unbewusster Muster und Ängste
• Verbesserung der Durchblutung und der Beweglichkeit, Entspannung der Muskeln
🎵 Klangtherapie ist eine uralte, spirituelle Methode der Heilung, Verjüngung und Transformation.
Heute ist sie eine der natürlichsten Methoden, um mit sich selbst und seiner Lebensenergie in Verbindung zu treten.
💖 Kommen Sie und teilen Sie diese Erfahrung – lassen Sie uns gemeinsam in den Raum des Klangs eintauchen, wo sich der Körper entspannt, der Geist Frieden findet und das Herz sich daran erinnert, was Liebe ist.
Anmeldung hier oder online: www.om-center.ch
Bezahlung vor Ort auch möglich per Twint, Karte oder bar.

On our sound journey, we’ll guide you into deep relaxation using crystal singing bowls. Then, the sound of the gong will create powerful waves that flow through your entire body, touching every cell and clearing and harmonizing every thought and feeling. You’ll let go of everything you no longer need.
The gong guides you exactly where your soul wants to be. Our journey continues with the four elements (fire, air, earth, and wind). Your heart will sense what you need next, and you will receive answers from within.
💫 Possible effects of sound therapy:
• Deep relaxation
• Release of tension
• Reduction of stress and anxiety
• Improved sleep and increased concentration
• Regeneration of the nervous and endocrine systems
• Emotional and energetic balance
• Dissolution of unconscious patterns and fears
• Improved circulation and mobility, relaxation of muscles
🎵 Sound therapy is an ancient, spiritual method of healing, rejuvenation, and transformation.
Today, it is one of the most natural ways to connect with yourself and your life energy.
💖 Come and share this experience—let's dive into the space of sound together, where the body relaxes, the mind finds peace, and the heart remembers what love is.

Hike Organising & being an Organisers
Summer is beginning and - slowly inching to higher altitudes - the season for mountain hiking starts!
This event is a good example of «true purpose» and «formal purpose» (i.e. excuse) being different:
The true purpose, of course, is (1) after-work-drinks, but (2) a look behind the scenes of Zurich Hike & Outdoor is a good excuse, isn't it?
**TARGET AUDIENCE:**
* Work is done, after-work-drinks are just the right thing now.
AND
* Your approach has been so far: «Joining a hike is great, but being the host? Nah, rather not.» OR
* There are things about organising hikes you always wanted to ask OR
* There are not enough hikes to your liking / at your level OR
* You are tired of remaining on the waitlist OR
* You have thought about maybe organising a hike yourself, but ... errr ... but but but OR
* You have seriously thought about becoming a H&O Event Organiser OR
* After three drinks you might just accidentally say "Yes".
**MEETING:**
* 17:00h at the Bierwerk pub
* Bierwerk Züri: [https://www.bierwerkzueri.ch/](https://www.bierwerkzueri.ch/)
* Bierwerk Züri: Gustav-Gull-Platz 10, 8004 Zürich
* Map (getting there from HB): [https://schweizmobil.ch/en/tour/760924908?layers=Station&logos=yes](https://schweizmobil.ch/en/tour/760924908?layers=Station&logos=yes)
* Probably the weather will allow to be outside
**THE PLAN:**
* Drinks
* Various topics around being a H&O event organiser
* Discuss hiking ideas and plans
* Maybe ... become an event organiser
**DIFFICULTY:**
* The trail from HB to the pub is NOT marked by any hiking signs,
I guess it must be T5 or more then!

COUNT monthly event: Kitchen service at Van Buren Center's shelter
Come assist Van Buren Shelter (https://ymcacolumbus.org/locations/vanburen) staff in serving dinners and cleaning up on the 3rd Tuesday of each month. Dinner for the women is 5-6 pm and for the families is 6:15-7:15 pm. There is ample free parking available in the shelter's lot. The recommended area to park is in green in the image above.
There will be a new entrance for the time being. We are asking all volunteers to enter through the Donation Dock door, the orange mark on the image above. This door is located between the Single Adults and Family Shelter. You will see 2 large garage doors with a large green trash compactor in the center. Please head to the closest garage door to the building wall, with a ramp leading up. There, you will see a door with a sign stating instructions on how to enter the building. Please ring the doorbell, and a staff member will come and escort you into the building. If a staff member takes longer than 5 minutes, please call the front desk at 614-689-2020. This is a new process for us, and we do not want to keep you waiting! We appreciate your patience as we navigate this temporary change.
The shelter needs a volunteer count the day before the event so sign-up ends Monday at 4:50 PM. Afterwards some of us go to the Omnipresent Atheists Weekly Meetup in progress to have a bit to eat or drink (http://www.meetup.com/omnipresentatheists/).
Volunteers must be 14 or older. Since we will be working around families, the YMCA does not permit volunteering by individuals with convictions for violent or sexual crimes. The YMCA reserves the right to run background checks on volunteers.
For questions, comment on this page or contact: Andrew, awhit12@yahoo.com, (614)937-5802 (cell). Please let Andrew know if you volunteer anytime other than our COUNT events so that he can count your hours toward our service record.
