Biodanza Classes - Conscious Movement
Many of us arrive at the beginning of a new year with quiet longings for change — for more presence, vitality and connection.
Yet life often feels fast, and those inner sparks don’t always find space to grow.
This January, you’re warmly invited to a series of **three free Biodanza classes in Zurich**, exploring the theme **From Spark to Action** — a gentle journey to reconnect with your body and move towards what truly wants to live in you.
**What is Biodanza?**
Biodanza is a movement practice that uses music, guided exercises and group experience to support wellbeing, connection and vitality.
There are **no steps to learn**, **no choreography** and **no performance**.
You’re welcome exactly as you are.
Many people come for the first time feeling unsure — and leave feeling lighter, more connected and more alive.
**The January Journey**
Each class can be experienced on its own, but they are designed as a sequence:
* **Ignite Your Desires - 13 January** — Awaken your inner spark. Listen to what your body truly longs for.
* **Nourish Your Desires** - **20 January** — Strengthen intention.
Create direction.
* **Live Your Desires -** **27 January**— Embody your desire. Move into action. Give life to what truly matters.

Breathwork For Men
Dear men,
I’m opening a very new, fresh pilot project, one I’ve been wishung to start for a while now.
Breathwork for Men - held by a woman.
This is not a one-off.
It will be a monthly breathwork evening held in a very special place in Horgen.
It’s a grounded, masculine men’s cave, offered by a dear friend.
A simple, regular place where men can pause, breathe, and reconnect - with themselves and with one another.
Why this?
Because men used to have places to gather and relate.
Often it was the pub.
Today, what’s missing isn’t alcohol or distraction,
it’s presence and real connection.
I know for many men this might come with doubts, discomfort, or resistance at first.
That’s okay.
That’s welcome.
This space isn’t about pushing past anything.
It’s about arriving as you are.
What does breathwork do and why breathwork for men?
Breathwork works directly with the nervous system.
It helps the body shift out of constant stress, pressure, and mental overload into calm, clarity, and regulation.
Many men live in doing mode:
performing, providing, solving, pushing through.
Breathwork creates a pause.
It supports (and it is scientifically proven):
- releasing physical tension and stored stress
- calming the nervous system
- improving focus and mental clarity
- processing emotions without having to talk them through
- better sleep and recovery
For men, breathwork offers a way to reset without explaining, analysing, or performing.
It’s not about fixing anything.
It’s about giving the system space to breathe.
Many men don’t need more information.
They need space.
That’s what breathwork offers and why I’ve wanted to start this for a while now.
Why me?
I’ve walked through a deep personal process over the past four years, including separation and divorce after 20 years together.
That path taught me a lot.
About relationships.
About men.
About the pressure men live under, and yes, women too.
There’s a lot offered for women.
But what is there for men?
I’ve also learned deeply through my relationship with the first man in my life - my father.
Through all of this, one thing became very clear to me:
how men and women are feeling and relating these days, truly matters to me.
This is why I’m starting this new pilot project.
And if this sparked even a little curiosity in you write me, get a ticket and please be welcome to join us.

Mama cacao, Mindful experience. A Ritual for soulful connections.
Recent research shows that meaningful human connections are a fundamental pillar of health and longevity. Studies consistently link strong social bonds with lower stress, reduced inflammation, and a longer, healthier life—highlighting that beyond diet and exercise, the quality of our relationships plays a decisive role in our overall well-being. This gathering is an invitation to nurture what science now recognizes as essential: authentic human connection.
Twice a year, under the full moon, Mama Cacao opens an intimate circle at Kraftwerk Zürich.
A carefully curated experience where ceremonial cacao, conscious connection, live music, and plant-based cuisine come together to create space for real encounters.
This is not networking. This is remembering how to meet — slowly, honestly, and from the heart.
Participants are guided through a cacao circle and meditation, conscious sharing, and small-group conversations, from gentle openings to deeper, more vulnerable exchanges.
Live music flows throughout the evening, guided by JKson, accompanied by Facu (percussion & charango) and Diogo (keys), creating a living soundscape that supports presence and expression.
An Open Heart Mic moment invites a few voices to share songs born from truth rather than performance.
The evening then unfolds naturally around a vegan buffet prepared by Nomads Zürich, allowing connections to deepen freely over food and conversation.
Held in an intimate setting of 10 to 25 participants, this experience is ideal for anybody looking to meet new, like-minded people: expats, newcomers to Zürich, creatives, artists, leaders, professionals, and curious souls seeking meaningful connection in a safe and refined space.
### What to Expect
* Intimate circle
* Guided cacao ceremony, meditation, and conscious sharing
* Guided group conversations, unfolding from ease and curiosity into honest depth
* Live music and conscious jam throughout the evening

### Who It's For
* Local residents of Switzerland who wish to rediscover the art of connecting beyond the superficial
* Foodies, good food lovers
* Expats and newcomers to Zürich
* Creatives, artists, and musicians
* Professionals, conscious leaders, and entrepreneurs
* Curious souls seeking authentic human connection

**Additional items to bring:**
* A water bottle to stay hydrated

Pure Breathwork Workshop
(Scroll down for English)
WAS IST BREATHWORK UND WIE WIRKT ES
Breathwork (tiefe, verbundene Atmung) ist eine kraftvolle Atemtechnik, welche gleichzeitig auf der Bewusstseins-, der emotionalen sowie der körperlichen Ebene wirkt und dadurch schnelle Transformation und Selbstheilung ermöglicht.
Körperliche Wirkung: Breathwork kann Dir dabei helfen kann, Stress, innere Anspannung/Verspannungen abzubauen, Schmerzen zu lindern und die Körperwahrnehmung zu verbessern, mehr Energie und Lebendigkeit zu spüren, tiefer zu schlafen und den eigenen Körper mehr zu lieben.
Emotionale Wirkung: Die tiefe, verbundene Atmung kann Dir wieder Zugang geben zu unterdrückten Emotionen (z.B. Wut, Angst, Trauer), welche Dich bis anhin blockiert haben. Du lernst, sie wieder zuzulassen, die Angst vor ihnen zu verlieren und den inneren Druck abzubauen. Gleichzeitig ermöglicht Dir Breathwork tiefe Zustände von Freude, Gelassenheit, Verbundenheit und (Selbst-)Liebe.
Bewusstseinserweiternde Wirkung: Breathwork kann Dir ermöglichen, alte Glaubenssätze und Muster zu durchbrechen und (wieder) Zugang zu Deiner eigenen Wahrheit, Klarheit und Intuition zu finden. Du kannst Themen in Deinem Leben aus einer neuen Perspektive betrachten und dadurch verblüffende Zusammenhänge sowie Lösungen zu erkennen. Neue Ideen und Visionen können geboren werden.
Meine Art des Breathworks basiert auf dem «Biodynamic Breath & Trauma Release»-Ansatz und enthält Elemente des holotropen Atmens («Holotropic Breathwork») von Stanislav Grof sowie des Transformational Breath von Judith Kravitz.
ANGABEN ZUM WORKSHOP
In den Live-Breathwork-Workshops folgt auf eine Aufwärmübung die ca. 1-stündige Atemsequenz. Diese wird von Berührung und kraftvoller Musik begleitet. Am Schluss folgt zu sanfter Musik eine ca. 15-minütige Entspannungsphase. Danach gibt es eine Pause, um wieder ganz anzukommen und einen Snack zu geniessen, bevor der Workshop mit einem Sharing in der Gruppe endet. Der Workshop wird auf Deutsch und Englisch durchgeführt.
Preis: CHF 65

WHAT IS BREATHWORK AND WHAT ARE ITS EFFECT
Breathwork (deep, connected breathing) is a powerful breathing technique that works simultaneously on the consciousness, emotional and physical levels, enabling rapid transformation and self-healing.
Physical effect: Breathwork can help you to reduce stress, inner tension/tension, relieve pain and improve body awareness, feel more energy and vitality, improve your sleep and love your own body more.
Emotional effect: Deep, connected breathing can give you access to suppressed emotions (e.g. anger, fear, sadness) that have previously blocked you. You learn to allow them back in, to lose your fear of them and to release the inner pressure. At the same time, Breathwork enables you to experience deep states of joy, serenity, connection and (self-)love.
Consciousness-expanding effect: Breathwork can enable you to break through old beliefs and patterns and (re)gain access to your own truth, clarity and intuition. You can look at issues in your life from a new perspective and thus recognize amazing connections and solutions. New ideas and visions can be born.
My type of breathwork is based on the “Biodynamic Breath & Trauma Release” approach and contains elements of holotropic breathing (“Holotropic Breathwork”) by Stanislav Grof and transformational breathing by Judith Kravitz.
INFORMATION ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
In the live breathwork workshops, a warm-up exercise is followed by a breathing sequence lasting approximately 1 hour. This is accompanied by touch and powerful music. At the end, there is a 15-minute relaxation phase accompanied by gentle music. Afterwards, there is a break to fully recharge and enjoy a snack before the workshop ends with a group sharing. The workshop is conducted in German and English.

PRANIC HEALING® has been taught to doctors, nurses, massage
therapists, acupuncturists, chiropractors, shiatsu practitioners, and many others in the healing field. It has allowed them to heal confidently and consistently in the shortest learning time possible. These professionals find PRANIC HEALING® very effective and easy to apply.
Other topics covered in PRANIC HEALING® Level 1:
Energetic anatomy: You will learn to work with the network of chakras, meridians and auras to accelerate the healing processes of your body.
Preventive healing: You will learn to remove the negative energetic patterns of a disease to prevent it from fully manifesting as a physical ailment.
Self-Pranic healing: You will learn to apply these healing techniques to accelerate your own healing.
Step-by-step techniques for ailments related to your:
respiratory system, e.g., asthma,; circulatory system, e.g., heart ailments; gastrointestinal system, e.g., irritable bowel syndrome; musculoskeletal system, e.g., arthritis and back pain; reproductive system, e.g., menstrual problems.

Additionally, you'll learn to apply distant healing to loved ones who are not present in the room with you.

Humanist Community Celebrating Darwin Day
Dale Gnidovec, Curator of the Orton Hall Museum of Geology at The Ohio State University, will be presenting a program he has wanted to share with us for a long time: Plate Tectonics. His description of his program:
Continents on the move - Nothing in Earth history makes sense without moving continents - it tells us why mountains, volcanoes, minerals, and fossils are where they are. This talk examines the evidence for continental drift, why it was disbelieved, and explains how the more-encompassing theory of plate tectonics was developed and eventually proven. Dale is an energetic, incredibly knowledgeable, and very entertaining speaker and this will be another wonderful program by Dale. Hope to see you there!
Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk.
Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online

Azure CBUS January: Learn Infrastructure-as-Code Through Minecraft
## Learn Infrastructure-as-Code (the FUN Way) — Through Minecraft 🎮☁️
**Joint Meetup: Azure CBUS × Columbus HashiCorp User Group × DevOps Columbus**
What if learning Terraform and Infrastructure-as-Code didn’t feel like a whitepaper… but more like a game?
Join us for a joint Azure CBUS, Columbus HashiCorp User Group, and DevOps Columbus meetup where **Mark Tinderholt** \(Principal Architect\, Microsoft Azure \| HashiCorp Ambassador \| “The Azure Terraformer”\) shows how **Minecraft** can be used as a surprisingly powerful way to understand real-world Infrastructure-as-Code concepts.
In this session, Mark will demonstrate how Terraform and Azure can be used to provision, configure, and manage Minecraft servers—while teaching the same patterns you’d use for production cloud infrastructure.
### What we’ll cover
* Infrastructure-as-Code fundamentals using **Terraform**
* Provisioning real infrastructure on **Azure**
* Applying **IaC best practices** (immutability, repeatability, versioning)
* How playful environments like Minecraft make complex concepts *click*
* Why learning through experimentation beats click-ops every time
### Who should attend
* Developers, platform engineers, and cloud engineers
* Terraform users (new or experienced)
* Anyone curious about Infrastructure-as-Code but tired of boring examples
* Minecraft fans who want to see it used in a totally unexpected way
No prior Minecraft experience required—just curiosity and a willingness to learn infrastructure the fun way.
Come for the blocks, stay for the Terraform. 🧱➡️📐
