Hello dear Challengers, if you wish to join the Limmat swim and strengthen your body, join me to that swim. I will give you a short introduction on the "why" you should do it and then you will tell me if you want to do it. I am a trained lifeguard (SLRG), I did also the Hypothermia Module and I am swimming in the cold since 2015. Take with you all the necessary to swim, flip/flop, safe buoy (something like the orange donut here below, if you have it) and a Thermos. https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/a/a/7/5/600_466843637.jpeg See you there!

Then please read below: . . . . . **WHY?** we ❤️ **uniting people** and building **community** while having **fun!** We truly believe that **fun meaningful offline connections** to new & existing friends makes us truly happy and healthy! Our community meets **every 2 Fridays** in a **homey,** caring and **welcoming** "come as you are" environment ! . **WHAT is this event?** We are not a "party or drinks" meetup, nor we follow a "forced" process and agenda. Instead, we are a **Connection Community** inspired by Greek village cafes and Swiss Stammtisch — a welcoming environment where neighbours gathered as equals to share stories and build lasting friendships. We meet in a "**fixed-rhythm**" every 2 Fridays in a **homey** & **lovingly-hosted space** so you can connect with new and familiar faces. We provide **several optional activities** to help you **connect** with others—so you're free to **explore what resonates** with you! Together these activities create a unique **Connection** **Event.** . . . . **TIPS on how to connect:** * **Look out for a good smile/vibe** in a person/group of 2-3 people and say "Hi my name is xxx, can I join?". * **Try something different** (person, game, table, activity) often until you find **fun** **quality connection.** We have a lot of activities * **Ask** **Support:** we understand going out to meet friends can be a stretch. We make this easy with a fun and safe event. Also you can ask for help from our clearly communicated (see photos of this event) "**People Connectors**" who can help you discreetly to connect with others * **Invest time**(not quickly just come by) as friendships are an investment * **Come back**: big turnaround, people come randomly at each event, so you never know who you ll meet . . **.** **Some final words:** * **Bravo** **to you** for the courage to go out to meet new people! We know **everyone is unique** \- thats why we got a big new\-comer area\, 4 co\-hosts welcoming and connecting you\, and many activities for you to **choose** from to find what **suits you**! * **Weather?** Event takes place rain or shine, with indoors rooms and outdoors area that is ultra rain-protected * **Coming late?** no problem, we got many people until closing at 00:00 so come whenever! * **Too many attendees?** no problem, we got the space! Also as per the "what" above: you define what makes the event meaningful for you! Furthermore, the co-organisers have one goal: to say hi and introduce you to the event and people (if you want to please ask)! Finally remember: you dont have to talk to everyone, focus in a few people! Less is more! If you dont know where to start look for a good smile or an activity more matching to you. From there keep on trying people and activities.. * **Why so many options above for connection?** We always have: a first-timer area, Fun social games, Mindful games, ice-breaker questions or simply just talk freely to anyone. Often we add: Speed-friending and a Music jam. We believe **you are unique** and each of us prefers different ways of connection. Also we want to provide an opportunity for everyone to try something new * **Easy and Safe:** We have the whole location reserved for us so its safe to open up and meet new friends (unlike bars in Zürich where people find it strange if strangers talk to them). Christos and volunteers will also help with connection. Read more info below. * **Christos** (see [PHOTO](https://photos.app.goo.gl/pdtVaVGCyDEJ28uE8)) and our co-organisers will be wearing name budges and will aim to **welcome** **everyone.** * more info via our **[LINKS](http://linktr.ee/connectionspace)** * Yes YOU are **good** & **courageous** for looking for new fun connections! * Everyone is in same situation and you ll be surprised how **friendly people** are ❤️ * Come **early** though **later** also ok as many people there **until 00:00** * **It works**!

**Überempfindlichkeiten, Entwerten, Angriffigkeit und Vermeiden stören das Vertrauen in den Menschen: Wie schaffen wir ein selbstbestimmtes und friedliches Zusammenleben?** Ablauf: Kennenlernen: 9.00 je 4 Module: 9.15- 11.00, 11.30- 13.00, 15.00 – 16.30., 17.00 – 18.30 Wie schön ist ein friedliches Zusammenleben. Wer wünscht sich das nicht? Und wie oft sind wir enttäuscht von uns oder unseren Mitmenschen, dass wir uns trotz grossem Einsatz verpassen, uns missverstehen oder sogar im besten Freund einen Gegner oder sogar Feind erleben - und ihn entsprechend schlecht behandeln. Leider sind die meisten Menschen nicht sehr gut darauf vorbereitet, sich mit anderen ein Leben einzurichten, in dem man sich immer besser kennenlernt und versteht. Oft fühlen sich Menschen viel zu schnell gedrängt, dem anderen auszuweichen, sich zu distanzieren, den anderen innerlich als unwichtig zu erklären oder gar so zu tun, als ob man sich nicht mehr für den anderen interessiert. Es kann aber auch sein, dass einem nichts Besseres einfällt als den anderen zu entwerten, ihn direkt anzugreifen oder emotional gezielt zu verletzen. Wie man die Menschen und die Welt spontan erlebt, empfindet und beurteilt entsteht ganz unbewusst in den ersten Lebensjahren. Ein Kind deutet, wie es mit anderen umgehen kann und muss und ob und wann es anderen vertrauen kann. Dabei entstehen viele Fehldeutungen wie Überempfindlichkeiten, die sich darin zeigen, wie schnell und wann sich ein Menschen von anderen gesehen fühlt und was er unternehmen muss, um vom anderen eine Reaktion zu erhalten. Je schneller ein Mensch glaubt, entwertet zu werden, umso weniger kann er seine Beziehungen positiv gestalten. Je verbundener sich ein Mensch fühlen kann, umso aufgeschlossener ist er und kann mehr Vertrauen zu anderen entwickeln. Im Seminar legen wir den Schwerpunkt auf folgendes: Je mehr Einblick die Teilnehmer bekommen, welche Motive den verschiedenen Gefühlslagen zugrunde liegen und wie diese entstanden sind, desto wohlgesonnener erleben sie die anderen Menschen. Falls dies dem Einzelnen gelingt, kann er dem anderen gegenüber offener und zugewandter sein, hört leichter zu, freut sich an ihm, empfindet weniger Gegensätzlichkeiten und erkennt leichter Gemeinsamkeiten. Die Blickrichtung auf die Menschen und die Welt verändert sich. So kann es beglückend werden, frei und selbstbestimmt mit anderen zusammenzuarbeiten. Selbstbestimmt leben beinhaltet dann, dass man seinem Misstrauen und seinen Fehldeutungen aus der Kindheit nicht mehr ausgeliefert ist. Das gilt für persönliche Beziehungen und für ein friedliches gesellschaftliches Zusammenspiel. Wir sprechen darüber, wie dies aussehen kann. Ich freue mich auf einen erkenntnisreichen, gefühlsverbundenen gemeinsamen Tag.

**Achtung Datumswechsel auf den 5.4.!** **Oster Edition / Easer Edition** \-\- Deutsch \-\-\- Für diesen Event der achtsamen Fotografie treffen wir uns bei der Roten Fabrik. Die Rote Fabrik ist ein ehemaliger Industriekomplex aus rotem Backstein direkt am See, mit grossen Fenstern, Schornstein, Innenhof und spannenden Sichtachsen zwischen den Gebäuden – ideal für urbane Architektur‑ und Detailshots. Graffitis, Poster, Patina und der Kontrast zwischen Wasser, Gleisen und Industriebauten bieten reichlich Motive. Wir schlendern in aller Ruhe durch das Areal und suchen dabei bewusst nach Details und kleinen Dingen, die uns im Alltag oft entgehen. \-\-\- English \-\-\- For this mindful photography event, we will meet at **Rote Fabrik**. Rote Fabrik is a former industrial complex made of red brick right by the lake, featuring large windows, a chimney, a courtyard, and interesting sightlines between the buildings — ideal for urban architecture and detail shots. Graffiti, posters, patina, and the contrast between water, railway tracks, and industrial buildings provide plenty of photographic subjects. We will slowly wander through the area and consciously look for details and small things that often escape our notice in everyday life. \-\-\- PS \-\-\- (D) Ein kleiner Hinweis: Schaut doch auch bei unserer Schwestergruppe «[Fotografie im Focus](https://www.meetup.com/fotografie-im-focus-zurich-und-ostschweiz/?eventOrigin=home_groups_you_organize)» vorbei.

*Sometimes, the best exploration happens not in new places but in new company: an unexpected conversation, a perspective you hadn't considered, a way of moving through the world that resonates with your own, or a brand new one that leaves you thinking differently.* 🌿👥💬 This social evening hopes to offer that kind of discovery. The idea of the event is to spend a few hours without a fixed agenda in the company of people who share a care for animals and a curiosity about plant-based living, and to use the opportunity to build new friendships. **📝🎯Plan and Venue**: Spring is here, and this month we are taking the meetup outside to make the most of the season. We will meet in front of the Opera House and take a walk along the lake from there, picking up drinks 🍹along the way before finding a nice spot to sit together. At 19.30, we will head to Tibits Seefeld for dinner🍽️. **What to expect** 🌿 **Open, unhurried conversations** and the chance to meet people you might not otherwise cross paths with — regardless of whether you come to share, to listen, or simply to spend a pleasant evening outdoors. 🌍 **A growing, welcoming community and new friendships**— Be part of growing community of people drawn to a kinder and more considered way of eating and living. **You don't have to be vegan to join:** This community brings together people at all different points in that journey. Some have been vegan for years, others are in the middle of exploring what it means for them, and some are attending out of genuine and newfound curiosity. What unites us is a shared care for animals and a thoughtfulness about how we live. Above all, we emphasize kindness, open-mindedness, mutual respect, and non-violent communication.💛 Join the WhatsApp group for easy coordination: https://chat.whatsapp.com/LZcfTMmImN57wXszXVlSpH?mode=gi_t

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 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.

This meeting will be a presentation by Brannan Kenny of Hadley about their free remote services. Target audience for this group is persons who are visually impaired, especially those who have experienced recent loss, however, all are welcome, including family members and supports. Light refreshments will be served. You can also join the meeting by Conference Call at (518) 263-8851.

This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships. Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. We look forward to having you join us! This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

**The Data-Driven Brand: Using Analytics to Shape Perception** Can you use analytics to improve tacos? This being CBUSDAW, we think the answer is probably “yes”, but we’re not sure how to implement or test this theory. For our April meetup we’ve got Sara Kear, CMO of Condado Tacos, to investigate this delicious question. Sara will explore how she blends quantitative data and qualitative customer feedback to shape brand positioning and drive business decisions. We all know that marketing and analytics go way beyond attribution. Sara will show how Condado uses customer insights to inform product and pricing strategy. She’ll also highlight how Condado leverages customer feedback at scale to influence operational priorities, positioning marketing as the voice of the customer across the organization. In the last 12 years Condado has gone from one location in Columbus to 52 locations across 10 states, so we’re guessing there’s more to that growth than really good guac (though the guac probably helps). Ultimately, this talk focuses on the intersection of art and science—using data to inform creativity and build a brand that resonates with customers in a measurable way. **About Our Speaker** Sara Kear is Chief Marketing Officer at Condado Tacos, where she oversees brand, restaurant design, menu and pricing strategy, off-premise including catering, and customer data strategy. Since joining in 2021, she has helped grow the brand from 19 to 52 locations while building a data-driven marketing organization focused on loyalty and customer insights. Condado has since been named to the Inc. 5000, recognized as Breakout Retailer by Chain Store Age, and consistently ranked among FastCasual’s Top 100 Movers & Shakers.
