đ Wie Du Dein eigenes GlĂźcklichsein kreierst â Zum Auftakt ins neue Jahr! â¨âď¸â¨
Hast du dich auch schon gefragt, ob echtes Glßck in unserer schnellen, hektischen Welt ßberhaupt noch mÜglich ist? Stress im Job, Beziehungsprobleme oder unerwartete Schicksalsschläge lassen dich manchmal zweifeln?
Viele Philosophen haben es immer wieder betont: Das GlĂźck, das wir suchen, liegt in uns selbst. Aber wie gelingt es, es zu entdecken und bewusst zu leben?
In diesem **einzigartigen Live-Event** erfährst du, wie du dein persÜnliches Glßck selbst in die Hand nehmen kannst.
Freu dich auf **praktische Ăbungen und inspirierende Impulse**, die du direkt in deinen Alltag mitnehmen kannst.
Starte mit Zuversicht und Freudenmomenten ins neue Jahr â
**inklusive Snacks und inspirierender Atmosphäre!**

Aufbau agiler Strukturen in der Bundesverwaltung; von Output zu Outcome
In Zeiten steigender Komplexität und zunehmender Sparmassnahmen stellt sich vielen Organisationen die Frage, wie sie Silos aufbrechen, Transparenz schaffen und ihre WertschÜpfung erhÜhen kÜnnen. Die Landesgeologie bei swisstopo hat diesen Wandel angestossen und zeigt als Praxisbeispiel aus der Bundesverwaltung, wie agile Strukturen auch in einem regulierten Umfeld funktionieren und eine Organisation gezielt auf kommende Herausforderungen vorbereiten kÜnnen. Im Zentrum stehen Lean Portfolio Management, OKRs und PI Planning als Werkzeuge, die auf die OrganisationsgrÜsse runterskaliert wurden. Dies um Fokus, gemeinsame Prioritäten und nachvollziehbare Entscheidungen zu ermÜglichen und flexibel auf neue Anforderungen zu reagieren. Der Vortrag zeigt, wie eine lernende Organisation entsteht, die kontinuierliche Verbesserung verankert und Zusammenarbeit nachhaltig stärkt, ohne Stabilität einzubßssen. Eine Einladung an alle, die Agilität in komplexen Strukturen zum Leben erwecken wollen und konkrete Erfahrungen jenseits der Theorie suchen.
**BIO**
Michael Gysi arbeitet seit vier Jahren bei swisstopo und verantwortet als Prozessleiter Data Management sowie stellvertretender Bereichsleiter die fachliche, strategische und organisatorische Weiterentwicklung der Landesgeologie. Zu seinen Schwerpunkten gehÜren der Aufbau einer cloudbasierten Datenplattform, die Entwicklung KI-gestßtzter Automatisierungen und die Etablierung von Governance- und Qualitätsprozessen. Zudem prägt er die Transformation des Bereichs durch die Einfßhrung agiler Strukturen.
Bevor er zur Bundesverwaltung wechselte, war Michael neun Jahre international tätig. Als Country Manager in Malaysia und Ăgypten baute er regionale Consulting-Standorte auf und leitete Explorationsprojekte in MENA und SĂźdostasien. Später fĂźhrte er bei der nagra ein geologisches Explorationsprogramm im Rahmen der Standortsuche fĂźr ein Tiefenlager fĂźr radioaktive Abfälle. Insgesamt bringt er 14 Jahre Erfahrung in strategischer Steuerung, datengetriebenen Transformationsprozessen und interdisziplinärer TeamfĂźhrung in Europa, Afrika, dem Nahen Osten und SĂźdostasien ein.

Amazon FBA/KDP and Online Business - Exchange of expertise and ideas, networking
Welcome to our meetup!
In our meetups we openly discuss and share our experiences related to running an Amazon FBA business, Amazon KDP business or other online business out of Switzerland. There's no fixed agenda or presentations/speakers. Everyone gets the chance to shortly introduce his/her experience with online business so far and to discuss any issues he/she is facing at the moment. Our meetups are valuable both for people just starting out as well as for experienced entrepreneurs.
Next to providing useful practical information, I believe our meetups are just as valuable for the chance to meet similar minded, motivated entrepreneurs. It's great for your own mindset to meet other people who also think out of the 9-to-5 box. Furthermore, our meetups provide a good networking opportunity: we already have various collaborations between members of our group resulting from our meetups.
We will meet in the lobby of the Motel One hotel (Stockerstrasse 61, corner of Brandschenkestrasse; after you entered the motel, you'll find the lobby at the far left). If you like to have a drink, please get it at the bar before coming to the lobby, so we can start on time at 7pm.
Meetups are held in English, unless all participants understand German.
Please only sign up if you're actually planning on coming.
Looking forward to meeting you!
\*\*\* no hidden agenda, no one trying to sell you his services, 100% entrepreneurs helping entrepreneurs \*\*\*

**WHY we do this? Human fun and meaningful Connection** is what we all deeply desire and makes us truly happy and healthy (scientifically proven - read below)!
.
**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 â 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 othersâso you're free to **explore what resonates** with you! Together these activities create a unique **Connection** **Event!**
.
**Today's event** are:
* **đĽłnew comer area** (never was easier to spark a conversation, with ice-breakers, optional for first time attendees)
* **đ¤Łfun social games** (like "cards against humanity" and more - read game names below)
* **đ§mindful games** (no small talk, connect deeper, from [The School of Life](https://www.theschooloflife.com/shop/?_product_type=games-card-sets) \- read game names below\)
* **đŻ 20:00 - 20:40 Speed-friending** (guaranteed process to meet spark new fun discussions and meet new people - with moderator)
* **đ 20:40 - 21:10** **New** **Surprise Connection Activity** (in separate room)
* đ beautiful **homey** industrial location in downtown ZH
* đŠđŞ**German-speaking** area (falls du nur Deutsch sprechen mĂśchtest)
* **đ 1 private room** (if you want to talk or play games in quietness)
* đŹ or simply **hang-out** and **meet new & old friends** **without** a process â¤ď¸
*Note: we **reserved 100%** of the space so **everyone** will be from our community!*
.

**Q&A:**
* **Where** **idea comes from**? Our events are inspired by the Swiss Stammtisch & Greek village concept of "[ÎÎąĎξνξίο](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kafenio)" (coffeeshops), once vibrant [community hubs](https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=569660528&sxsrf=AM9HkKlXnclaLfgcockKtdr9qHdmD5jaGw:1696060562834&q=greek+%5D(https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=569660528&sxsrf=AM9HkKlXnclaLfgcockKtdr9qHdmD5jaGw:1696060562834&q=greek+)%CE%BA%CE%B1%CF%86%CE%B5%CE%BD%CE%B5%CE%B9%CE%BF&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi52fX67dGBAxXnlf0HHZNiBHUQ0pQJegQICRAB&biw=1460&bih=913&dpr=2&udm=2) where people gathered daily to socialise, play games, and enjoy snacks and drinks. I, Christos, have fond childhood memories visiting them with my grandfather. Though this tradition is fading in Greece, Iâm passionate about reviving it with a modern twist. Hope you enjoy it! â¤ď¸
* **Co-host?** and support this event? Then please contact Christos
* **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!
* **Coming solo?** guess what, again no problem! 95%+ of people come solo - its the perfect event to come solo!
* **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! đ 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 ZĂźrich 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.**
* **Thank YOU** for being so open in meeting new people and making 70+ events with 7500+ attendees in 2.5+ years happen!
* more info via our **[LINKS](http://linktr.ee/connectionspace)**
* **Who** is it for\*\*?\*\* **Everyone is welcome**! Wir wollen gerne mehr **Schweizer/innen** dabei haben! Alle sind willkommen und die meisten kĂśnnen Deutsch sprechen. Not an expat event. **Everyone welcome**!
* Yes YOU are **good** & **courageous** for looking for new fun connections!
* 95% of people come **solo** \- you can tooâ¤ď¸
* Everyone is in same situation and you ll be surprised how **friendly people** are â¤ď¸
* Come **early** though **later** also ok as many people there **until 00:00**
* **It works**! We heard of many new friendships, living together and even getting a new job
* For **volunteering** for free please msg Christos 0768175380. We can provide free drinks for your service
* **Mindful Connection Games:** from [The School of Life](https://www.theschooloflife.com/shop/?_product_type=games-card-sets) available: Confessions Game, The Friendship Game, Connection Game, The Loser Game, Games for grown-ups and three sets of "100 questions" (Conversation Toolkit & Careers & Relationships)
* **Fun Social Games:** bring your own **board/card games** or choose from: Cards against humanity, Exploding Kittens, Codenames, Debatable, Sotally Tober, Taboo, Mafia, Uno, Monopoly and more.
.
**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**
* **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

**ABOUT US IN DETAIL:**
.
**WHY Connection Space**?
* ... we â¤ď¸ **uniting people** while having **fun!** We make the world better by enabling **fun quality connections** & building **community!**
* ... we truly believe **Human Connections** is what we truly **deeply crave** for and what we truly **need** so we can be **happy** and **healthy**! What we really need is all the things money cant buy. Human Connections making us happy is proven by data in [ANCIENT HISTORY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kg_47J6sy3A), in [MODERN HISTORY](https://www.kiltrohealth.com/blog/blue-zones-social-connection-the-secret-to-longevity-and-well-being) and also scientifically proven by [HARVARD ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KkKuTCFvzI)in an 87 year old study. Yes this makes you [HEALTHY](https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/relationships-boost-survival/#:~:text=Overall%252C%2520social%2520support%2520increases%2520survival,%252Da%252Dday%2520smoking%2520habit) and is what you really need - the other things are not as important as society tells you.
.
**HOW does it work?** **Disconnect** your phone & Connect with people in a **free** and **super-fun Connection Event**! These recurring events create a "fixed" community without any specific reasons for connection (like interests, genders, age or countries). **Everyone is welcome**! The event is that **simple**đ.
.
* **WHAT is Connection Space?**
Imagine a co-working space where everyone is with headphones, laptops, mostly being 'alone' all day ...
or a cafe/restaurant/bar where pretty much all people talk to people they already know..
.
The **"Connection Space"** is exactly the opposite of that; its a **fun** social environment outside family and work, a cultural exchange, where we **unite** and hangout with **new and old friends** as **one community**.
.
Thats it.
.
No to phones, laptops, zoom-calls, books
No to a specific reason to get together (eg. only for specific hobbies, genders, age groups, languages etc)
No to just talking to your friends
Not a dating, not a party, not an expat-only meetup
NO to division (political racial gender etc)
.
Yes to simple and real in-person connection with new and old friends
YES TO FUN! We got many optional activities for you to try out
Yes to feeling like home & come as you are
Yes to unity, love and respect for one another
Yes to eating, drinking and music
Yes to everyone-is-welcome & always-free events
YES to UNITY! Getting along with each other in spite of different opinions
.
Our events are **inspired** by the Greek village culture of "[ÎÎąĎξνξίο](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kafenio)" (village coffeeshops) with photos [HERE](https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=569660528&sxsrf=AM9HkKlXnclaLfgcockKtdr9qHdmD5jaGw:1696060562834&q=greek+%CE%BA%CE%B1%CF%86%CE%B5%CE%BD%CE%B5%CE%B9%CE%BF&tbm=isch&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi52fX67dGBAxXnlf0HHZNiBHUQ0pQJegQICRAB&biw=1460&bih=913&dpr=2). When myself Christos was a kid, my granddad took me to these "[ÎÎąĎξνξίο](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kafenio)". Every neighbourhood had one, and people met, without an exaggeration, on a daily-basis. It was the community center of the village. People met new and old friends, played games, socialised, ate snacks, drank coffee and ouzo. It was a very friendly, welcoming and homey environment. Unfortunately this concept is rapidly dying in Greece. As a kid I had extremely good memories of these coffeeshops, and for this reason I am passionate to revive and recreate this environment and also add a modern twist. Hope you enjoy it!
.
* **WHAT is NOT Connection Space? NOT** a drinks or party event (responsible drinking only, no shots, no free drinks). **NOT** a dating event. **NOT** foreigners-only, but everyone is welcome
* **What KIND of event is this?** Its a mix of **social** and **cultural event** that build **community**. We have many people from so many different cultures socialising, we promote culture with events with Art exhibitions and Live Music and we also revive the social culture of the Greek traditional village coffeeshop (ÎÎąĎξνξίο - read more above).
.
Looking forward to **fun quality Connections**! đ

Mäng - transformational game
Join us for a live (private) session of **Mäng (offline in Zßrich or online worldwide)**, a powerful self-exploration game that helps uncover hidden mental scripts and rewire the way you think, feel and act.
Mäng is a modernized version of an ancient contemplative practice â reimagined as a transformational tool based on psychological insight, symbolic logic, and inner strategy. It is not therapy or coaching in the traditional sense. Instead, itâs an immersive deep-dive into the unconscious mind through metaphor and archetype with a game spirit.
đĄ **How it works:**
Mäng is built on four stages of real, lasting change:
1. **Discovery** â Identify limiting beliefs and internal programs
2. **Uninstallation** â Let go of outdated patterns
3. **Design** â Create new mental strategies
4. **Integration** â Embed them into your deeper awareness
Youâll be guided through this process by the **Master of Mäng**, who offers structure, questions, and insight â while you remain the one making all decisions and discoveries.
đż **Who is this for?**
* People feeling stuck or unsure of their next steps
* Those tired of repeating the same emotional patterns and looking for inspiration and clarity
* Anyone curious about deeper transformation without spending years on it
đ§ No prior experience needed â just bring your question or theme.
đ **Important:**
This is a deep game. A full session lasts **4 hours**. Time slots are defined individually. Contact me directly to get an appointment.
Price for newbies: 250 CHF

CMG Gives Back: Food Distribution at CHAMPION FOOD PANTRY!
Start the New Year off right! Join us as we get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event to distribute food at the Champion Food Pantry! Weâve created a great little community of Movie Group friends! Rather than see a movie this time, weâll help âCreate a better worldâ by helping serve people in need. Here are complete details and our plan for this event:
CHAMPION FOOD PANTRY: The Champion Food Pantry provides needed food to neighbors experiencing food insecurity. For this event, weâll be volunteering to help with Food Distribution during client pick up times. Our group will receive on-the-spot training from some of their seasoned regular volunteers.
PLAN FOR CHAMPION FOOD PANTRY: Please arrive by 2:45pm. Our volunteer time will be from 3:00 to 6:00pm.
LOCATION & PARKING: The Champion Food Pantry is located at 1460 S. Champion Ave in Columbus. Parking is located in the lot on Frebis across from the pantry. Please enter through the door marked "Volunteers enter hereâ on Frebis Ave. A map has been uploaded to the photos.
IMPORTANT REMINDER: Our group will be providing the majority of the volunteers on this day so a firm RSVP count is essential. Please only sign up if you are certain youâll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. No shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will mak you ineligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve.

THANK YOU: This CMG Gives Back event provides an opportunity for YOU to get involved in helping others in our community! But the benefits go well beyond the help we give to others. Volunteering can provide a wide range of personal benefits, including positive effects on mental and physical health, reduced stress/depression/anxiety, increased happiness and improved purpose, life-satisfaction and personal well-being! Plus, the opportunity to get involved, connect with others and help those in need.
PARTNER AGENCY: This event is hosted by Lutheran Social Services (LSS), which serves thousands of people in need each day in 27 Ohio counties by addressing the four core societal issues of food, shelter, safety and healing. LSS offers food through the LSS Food Pantries, housing and supportive services through LSS Faith Mission and LSS Faith Mission of Fairfield County homeless shelters, domestic violence services through LSS CHOICES for Victims of Domestic Violence, senior living and health care, affordable housing communities, and other services that uplift families and strengthen communities.
Thanks for your help and look forward to seeing you there, Dan

We believe that emotionally mature, powerful, compassionate, and purpose-driven men will help heal some of societyâs deepest wounds. We support the powerful brilliance of men and we are willing to look at, and take full responsibility for, the pain we are also capable of creating â and suffering. We care deeply about men, our families, communities, and the planet.

Curating Confidence: Crafting Your Vision for the Year Ahead
Step into 2026 with intention, clarity, and a creative practice designed to help you see yourself more clearly. In this special Confidence Lab session, weâll explore confidence as something you can curate - through the choices you make, the qualities you amplify, and the story you choose to step into.
Weâll start with a short guided reflection to surface the traits, habits, and energies you want to nurture in the coming year. Then, using collage materials selected specifically for this workshop, youâll translate those insights into a visual composition that represents the version of yourself youâre ready to grow toward.
This isnât about resolutions or perfection. Itâs about crafting a grounded, imaginative vision of your next chapter - one that feels honest, energizing, and fully yours.
All materials are provided. Just bring yourself (and a friend) and a willingness to explore what confidence can look like for you in 2026.
**Featured Partner: Columbus Collage Collective**
The Columbus Collage Collective was started in August of 2023 by Emily Morgan (aka Lovely But Dead) and Douglas Cuckler (aka Wonder Doug) as a place for collage enthusiasts to gather and create art together. The collective has since become a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with the mission to hold free or low-cost collage events across central Ohio. The CCC welcomes all artists of all backgrounds and skill levels and encourages folks to take this time to step away from everyday existence and create art with people who share a love for this dynamic art form.
All materialsâmagazines, scissors, craft knives, glue, paper, cardboard, and moreâare provided, so there's no need to bring anything at all (though you're welcome to bring a friend or a favorite tool if you'd like!). We also encourage folks to take home magazines and materials from our events to support continued creativity!
