🌿 **Imagine finishing a peaceful walk in nature… feeling lighter, clearer, and deeply connected to yourself again.**
If something inside you is asking for space, clarity, or an emotional reset, this session may be exactly what you need.
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from your inner calm, this Nature Coaching Session offers a gentle space to pause and realign.
This is a **1:1 guided coaching walk in nature**, designed to help you slow down, reconnect with yourself, and hear your inner voice again.
Nature has a powerful way of softening the mind and opening deeper awareness. During our walk, you may experience:
• releasing built-up stress

• moving from overthinking into embodied presence
• accessing new perspectives and insights
• feeling grounded, supported, and more like yourself again
***You don’t need to prepare anything, just come as you are.***
Depending on what is alive for you, we may explore topics such as:
• finding clarity around a personal or emotional situation
• reconnecting with your inner voice and intuition
• navigating life transitions or uncertainty
• reducing overwhelm or anxiety
• identifying and shifting limiting beliefs
• cultivating deeper presence, self-trust, and inner peace
This is a **safe, compassionate space** where you can speak openly, reflect, and reconnect with what truly matters to you.

Aktzeichnen (Life drawing) in Kreis 4
Every week since 2022, we have featured nude model poses, both in short and long poses. At the beginning, we have short poses (2, 3, 5, 15 minutes), then two 30-minute sessions. Between blocks, we have 5-10-minute breaks to refresh and socialize with tea and cookies. Normally, we have an interesting international group of artists, consisting of around 8-10 people, who come regularly and do not typically write about their attendance on Meetup.
**Important!** Please book your ticket at Meetup by PayPal or [ https://eventfrog.ch/en/p/art-exhibitions/other-art-events/life-drawing-aktzeichnen-in-zuerich-kreiss-4-7454987891141296131.html](here)
On our Instagram page, you can see drawings from our artists from previous events: [here](https://eventfrog.ch/en/cockpitv3/events/7365649101847824543/overview)
Please bring your favorite drawing material. We provide wooden desks and some drawing materials to lend if you forgot yours. This is a non-guided event; all styles and levels are welcome.

Punch Needle Workshop in Zurich
Im Punch Needle Workshop verwandelst du einfache Fäden in ein einzigartiges Kunstwerk. Punch Needle ist eine moderne und zugleich entspannende Sticktechnik, bei der mit einer speziellen Nadel Schlaufen in den Stoff gestochen werden. So entstehen strukturierte, weiche Oberflächen und ausdrucksstarke Muster. Der Workshop ist ideal, um Punch Needle kennenzulernen, kreativ abzuschalten oder in kurzer Zeit etwas Schönes mit den eigenen Händen zu erschaffen – ganz ohne Vorkenntnisse.
Zu Beginn des Workshops erhältst du eine kurze Einführung in die Grundlagen der Punch-Needle-Technik. Ich zeige dir Schritt für Schritt, wie die Nadel richtig verwendet wird, wie du den Faden führst und gleichmäßige Schlaufen erzeugst. Du lernst, worauf du achten musst, damit dein Motiv sauber und stabil wird. Die ruhige, gleichmäßige Bewegung macht Punch Needle besonders entspannend und perfekt für eine kreative Auszeit vom Alltag.
Im Workshop kannst du zwischen zwei kreativen Optionen wählen:
Option 1 – Motiv sticken (29 CHF)
Du wählst ein bestehendes (oder eigenes) Motiv und stickst dieses ohne Hintergrund. Diese Option ist ideal für Einsteiger\*innen oder alle, die Punch Needle unkompliziert ausprobieren möchten. Der Fokus liegt ganz auf der Technik und dem Motiv selbst. Hier kannst du dein Werk in eine Untertasse verwandeln.
Option 2 – Motiv mit Hintergrund (35 CHF)
Hier stickst du dein Motiv inklusive Hintergrund. Dadurch erhält dein Werk mehr Tiefe und eine besonders schöne, flächige Struktur. Diese Option eignet sich für alle, die ihr Kunstwerk etwas aufwendiger gestalten möchten. Hier kannst du dein Werk auch in eine Untertasse verwandeln, oder als Deko aufhängen.
Die maximale Workshopdauer beträgt bis zu 1 Stunde. Je nach Tempo und Design kannst du dein Werk in dieser Zeit fertigstellen oder einen grossen Teil davon umsetzen. Während des gesamten Workshops begleite ich dich persönlich, gebe Tipps und unterstütze dich bei Fragen oder Unsicherheiten. Alles darf, nichts muss – wichtig ist, dass du Freude am Prozess hast.
Alle Materialien sind inklusive. Du arbeitest mit hochwertigen Garnen in verschiedenen Farben, Stoff, Rahmen und Punch Needle. Du musst nichts mitbringen – ausser Lust auf Kreativität. Dein gesticktes Werk kannst du am Ende direkt mit nach Hause nehmen, sei es als Dekoration, Geschenk oder persönliches Erinnerungsstück.
Wenn du Lust hast, etwas Neues zu entdecken, kreativ zu entspannen und in kurzer Zeit ein eigenes Kunstwerk zu gestalten, ist dieser Punch Needle Workshop genau das Richtige für dich. 🧶✨

Impact Over Perfection – A Practical Approach to Accessibility
Accessibility often feels overwhelming with all its guidelines, standards and edge cases. But in practice, meaningful improvements don’t require perfection. They require empathy and a sincere motivation to create a truly usable experience for all.
In this talk, we share real learnings from UX and UI projects: what actually made a difference, where teams struggled, and how small, deliberate changes created a much more inclusive experience.
You’ll walk away with a practical mindset and actionable ideas to start improving accessibility in your own projects — without waiting for the “perfect” solution.

Pistacio Vera Mid-Morning June Birthdays Tea
Happy Birthday to all June birthday people! I put this on the schedule because it's my birthday month, and this is my favorite place; it's also Dave Koczur's (MAFIA meetup leader) birthday on June 8; if you who are reading this have a June birthday as well, tell us in the Comments!
For anyone off work or with a flexible schedule, come to Pistachio Vera in German Village for a tea and pastry. We will try to get a table outside. If convenient, you could put a fold up chair in your car in case we can all sit outside but we run out of chairs.

May Book Club Meetup
Welcome, readers!
Our May read is **_Kindred_ by Octavia E. Butler.**
The story follows Dana, a Black woman living in 1976 California, who is suddenly pulled back to a Maryland plantation before the Civil War. She learns her survival is tied to a white slaveholder’s son. Forced to move between centuries, she must endure the brutal realities of slavery while fighting to hold on to her identity. Tense, intimate, and unforgettable, Kindred explores how the past refuses to stay buried.
Looking forward to discussing with everyone!
We will meet at Zaftig Brewing Co in their event room in the back. We are welcome to bring in our own food, but **drinks must be purchased at the bar.**
Happy reading! 📖
