**From Zurich into Nature-A Trail Run with the Option of Warming Thermal Water. An Evening for Community, Movement, and Absolute Relaxation. Do you crave fresh air, good conversations, and a moment that's just for you? Then join us for a special evening filled with great conversations and shared laughter. Here, your well-being is the focus – in a safe, supportive, and casual atmosphere.** **As a local here in Boppelsen, I can't wait to share my home trails and this unique running-and-relaxation experience with you!** **This evening is for you if...** * **...you're looking for a balanced activity that benefits body and mind.** * **...you long for real exchange and new contacts in a trusting environment.** * **...you want no performance pressure, just pure running fun.** * **...you love the flexibility to decide: relaxation with just a foot bath or a full thermal bath.** * **...you're excited about a completely carefree, organized little escape from everyday life.** **What is the "Hot Spring"? Imagine a large, public "whirlpool" under the open sky, filled with natural, comfortably warm thermal water. That's the Hot Spring in Baden! It's basically a large, walkable water basin (not a swimming pool), where you can sit, stretch your legs, and enjoy the warm water. Simply explained:** * **It's like a public warm water basin right in the city.** * **The water comes directly from natural thermal springs deep in the earth and is always pleasantly warm (about 37-43°C).** * **You can just step in (in swimwear) and sit to relax. There's also a separate basin just for feet.** * **It's freely accessible to everyone and free – a meeting point for chatting and relaxing.** * **For hygiene, the basin is regularly cleaned (on certain weekday mornings).** **Your Evening at a Glance:** **1\. Optional Group Gathering in Zurich \(5:45 PM\)** **Anyone who likes can meet from 5:45 PM under the blue angel sculpture, "L'ange protecteur," in the main hall of Zurich HB to connect with other participants. From there, you can take the train together (departure 6:01 PM) to Boppelsen.** **2\. Journey & Getting\-to\-Know\-You Phase \(6:01 – 6:40 PM\)** **Whether alone or in the spontaneous group – the train ride is a great opportunity to start conversations and get to know fellow runners.** **3\. Official Start & MY WELCOME in Boppelsen \(6:40 PM\) ⭐** **I will personally welcome all of you at the Volg Supermarket. This is the official starting point of the event. We'll introduce ourselves as a whole group, briefly go over the schedule, and then start our run together.** **4\. The Run: Your Nature Moment** **A 40-minute, easy trail run through the evening forests and hills. We take our time, breathe deeply, and enjoy the shared movement.** **5\. The Wellness Highlight in Baden** **Arrival at the "Hot Spring". Here you have the choice:** **Option A (Full Bath): Dive into the natural, 37-43°C warm thermal water.** **Option B (Foot Bath): Relax in the separate foot basin.** **Option C: Just enjoy a drink and relax.** **Infrastructure: Free public toilets and changing cabins are on site.** **6\. Individual Return Home** **When you're ready, head home relaxed at your own pace.** **What to Bring:** * **Comfortable running clothes & good shoes** * **A small backpack** * **A water bottle and possibly a snack** * **A change of T-shirt and a light jacket** * **(If you want to bathe): Swimsuit & towel** * **(For the foot bath): A small towel**
ZH3 Hash # 1691: Mezze Xmas
ZH3 Hash # 1691: Mezze Xmas
Hare: Saddam. Medium A to A run with a walkers short cut. Middle Eastern food from 21:00. Suggest anyone who wants to eat signs up for a mezze before the run. This venue is new so please be nice. **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.

Und plötzlich fällt das Kämpfen weg
Und plötzlich fällt das Kämpfen weg
Manchmal ist es, als würde man schon ewig kämpfen. Um Ruhe. Um Klarheit. Um dieses innere Gefühl, endlich ankommen zu dürfen. Und trotzdem geht der Kampf weiter – gegen andere, gegen Umstände, und am meisten wohl gegen sich selbst. In dieser Gruppe geschieht etwas Unerwartetes: Ohne Analyse, ohne Technik, ohne Druck. Etwas im Innern kommt zur Ruhe. Das, was so lange festgehalten wurde, darf loslassen. Und plötzlich fällt das Kämpfen weg – ganz ohne Anstrengung. Diese Erfahrung lässt sich nicht erklären, aber sie lässt sich erleben – spürbar, ehrlich, unmittelbar. Vielleicht ist gerade jetzt der Moment, es auszuprobieren. 📍 **Ort:** Praxis Ruoss Stampfli, Else Züblin-Strasse 15, 8047 Zürich 🕒 **Zeit:** Samstag, 10:00 bis 12:00 Uhr 💰 **Beitrag:** Kollekte 📩 **Anmeldung:** per WhatsApp an 076 419 25 72

ZH3 Hash # 1692: Bye Bye Xmas Market and a Hashy New Year
Christmas is nearing, and with that, the Glühwein is quickly running at! This will likely be your LAST chance to see drunk santa's fight over the last Glüwein at the Bellevue Christmas market! So come out, escape your family and find one last respite at the Hash! We will meet at the Stadelhofen Bahnhof lockers for the bag drop, for a short but pleasant run through the city, followed by one more visit at the Christmas Market at Bellevue for a late lunch, early dinner and last chance to breathe in some festive energy before the REAL deal starts. **Where**: See location. Typically within Zurich Zone 10. Look for English speakers wearing running gear. **When:** We'll meet at 13:50 pm to start at 14 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.

LGBTQIA+ Community Crochet- First Meeting!
LGBTQIA+ Community Crochet- First Meeting!
**Calling all queer crochet enthusiasts;** I am a visual artist located in Columbus that is searching for people who may want to gather while also participating in creating a piece of artwork. My goal is to spend time enjoying one another’s company while making a work of art that will be displayed within our community. I plan to teach people to crochet (if unfamiliar) while also inviting current fiber artists to join us for some much-needed social interaction. There are no expectations from those who attend, materials will be included, and any amount of participation is welcome! If you have a favorite crochet hook or current project you are welcome to bring that along too! The primary goal is to foster a safe space for our community to chat, create and be. For further information please email [landerknits@outlook.com.](http://landerknits@outlook.com.) \*This will be our first meeting, bring friends and make new ones. Come as you are and make along side other like-minded folks.

Contra dance Dec. 20 (First Unitarian Universalist Church)
Contra dance Dec. 20 (First Unitarian Universalist Church)
# **Band: Firefly Trace, caller Kenny Greer** Beginner lesson at 7:30, regular dancing begins at 8:00 **Sponsor: All Soles Contra and Square Dancing, First Unitarian Universalist Church, 93 W. Weisheimer Rd., Columbus OH 43214** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. Please bring your own refillable water bottle.

Holiday Blockbuster: AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH (in 3D) at Cinemark Polaris!
Holiday Blockbuster: AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH (in 3D) at Cinemark Polaris!
Join us as we get together to see an Opening Night showing of the highly anticipated epic fantasy-adventure, AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH! We’ll make this one of our rare 3D movie events! James Cameron returns to direct the 3rd film in the acclaimed series which should be another visually stunning adventure! Here are details, a trailer and our plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: One year after settling in with the Metkayina Clan, Jake and Neytiri's family encounter a new, aggressive Na'vi tribe called the Ash People, led by the fiery tribe leader, Varang, who has allied with Jake's enemy, Quaritch, as the conflict on Pandora escalates to devastating consequences. The film is directed (and co-written) by James Cameron and stars Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, and Kate Winslet who all return to reprise their roles from previous films. TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-vO43w1xXg PLAN: Details for this event have already been confirmed! Please purchase your ticket for the 6:00pm showing at Cinemark Polaris and meet inside the theater lobby between 5:30 and 5:45pm! This event will sell out so advance ticket purchase as soon as possible is advised! Once you do, please list your seat number in the Comments below! NOTE ON LOCATION: This one took some time to sort out! Ticket prices for a 3D showing at the various theaters range from $11 to $22+ in a range of theater sizes from tiny/intimate to large auditoriums. Because advance ticket sales have already started, many locations/showtimes are already half-full! So, we went with a showtime (6pm) and seating suitable for a long (3-hr) movie, middle-of-the-pack pricing, and a large enough theater with little/no pre-sales that (hopefully) won’t sell out too quickly. And, did I mention luxury seating! That said, you’ll want to purchase your tickets as soon as possible! Should be a fun one, Dan
