Management and Leadership Training

EXPERIENCE PHILOSOPHICAL SYNCRETISM, INNER ALCHEMY, AND GAME SPIRIT. Try a live (private) session of **Mäng (offline in Zürich or online worldwide)**, a powerful self-exploration game that helps uncover hidden mental scripts and rewire the way you think, feel and act. It is a tool for a really **profound change** that follows the four stages of inner alchemy. A modernized version of an ancient contemplative practice, 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, it’s an immersive deep-dive into the unconscious mind through metaphor and archetype with a game spirit. 💡 **How it works:** Mäng is built on four stages of real, lasting change: 1. **Discovery** – Identify limiting beliefs and internal programs 2. **Uninstallation** – Let go of outdated patterns 3. **Design** – Create new mental strategies 4. **Integration** – Embed them into your deeper awareness You’ll be guided through this process by the **Master of Mäng**, who offers structure, questions, and insight, while you remain the one making all decisions and discoveries. 🌿 **Who is this for?** For everyone (regardless of beliefs, age, gender, etc.), but more than anyone - for those who didn't find answers or sufficient depth in pop coaching and psychology. 🕒 **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

**Hello artists! Would you like to learn how to put the 3D on 2D?** **What do we do?** In this workshop I teach you everything I do when I go out to draw what I see with pencils. **Do I need to have experience?** All levels are welcome! I like to help everybody according to their level. Are you a beginner? Then you will learn more! **Where do we go?** We go to China Garden in Zurich. Free entrance. The colorful buildings and the harmonic atmosphere will inspire you. **What is included?** Color pencils, pencil, paper, eraser and board. **Former student?** Ask me for your private discount code! **Which languages do I speak?** English, Spanish and German (intermediate level).

**Do you have the courage to bring forth the treasures that are hidden within you?** Many of us find ourselves stuck in situations that drain our happiness, yet we can’t seem to gather the momentum to break free. It could be an unhealthy relationship, a job that leaves you unfulfilled, social anxiety, or the relentless grip of worry. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone—millions, if not billions, of people face the same struggles. But here’s the interesting part—fear loses its grip the moment you confront it. The more closely you examine it, the weaker it becomes. Fear thrives in the shadows, and once exposed to light, it begins to dissolve. I invite you to join me for a few hours of practical learning where we’ll explore techniques to help you take charge of your fears. Together, we’ll fast-track your progress by sharing tools and insights that I’ve gathered through personal experience—lessons learned the hard way. **Fearless Living** was created as a space for us to tackle our fears head-on. Through regular workshops, we teach participants how to recognize, manage, and reduce the impact of fear so it no longer stands in the way of living fully. Let me be clear—I’m not a therapist, psychologist, or any kind of professional “-ist.” I’m simply someone who has wrestled with fear and come out the other side with insights to share. This event isn’t designed for those dealing with severe trauma or crisis, but for those ready to take that first step toward breaking free from the everyday fears that hold us back. If you’re ready to loosen fear’s hold on your life, I’d love for you to join us. **Feedback from previous workshop attendees:** [https://www.meetup.com/living-without-fear/feedback-overview/](https://www.meetup.com/living-without-fear/feedback-overview/) **Jafar** \- "Rocco embodies a wealth of practical experiences in truly living life\.

"Lila" bedeutet auf Sanskrit "Spiel" und lehrt uns, das Leben spielerisch zu betrachten und jeden Moment anzunehmen. Dieses Konzept, das 1975 durch Harish Johari im Westen bekannt wurde, basiert auf vedischer Philosophie und analysiert die 72 grundlegenden Zustände des Bewusstseins, die den 72 Lila-Spielplätzen entsprechen. Das Lila-Spiel ist ein Werkzeug zur Selbsterkenntnis, das den Spielern hilft, ihren Lebensweg zu reflektieren und gegebenenfalls anzupassen. Durch Würfeln und die Interaktion mit karmischen Kräften bewegen sich die Spieler durch verschiedene Bewusstseinsebenen, bis sie das kosmische Bewusstsein erreichen, um unsere eigenen Muster und Verhaltensweisen zu erkennen und zu verändern. Dieses Werkzeug hilft dir für klare Einsicht in die Wahrheit, unseren eigenen Illusionen und einen Weg zur Transformation. WIE LÄUFT DAS LILA / LEELA SPIEL AB? Das Leela-Spiel wird auf einem grossen Feld mit 72 Feldern gespielt, das verschiedene Lebensphasen widerspiegelt. Jedes Feld steht für einen Energietyp, einen Bewusstseinszustand oder eine Entwicklungsstufe, die wir im physischen Leben erleben. Die Herausforderungen im Spiel spiegeln die Prüfungen des realen Lebens wider und ermöglichen es, Erkenntnisse schneller zu gewinnen. Die Teilnehmer werden von spirituellen Führern begleitet, die beim Würfeln und beim Erreichen der relevanten Felder unterstützen. Erfahrene Lila-Leiter leiten das Spiel, stellen präzisierende Fragen und helfen den Spielern bei ihrer inneren Transformation. Das Spiel bietet die Möglichkeit, verschiedene Lebenswege zu erkunden und neue Lösungsansätze zu finden, ohne die Risiken des realen Lebens einzugehen. Während einige Spieler schnell durch das Spiel gehen, hängt der Fortschritt nicht von Wahrscheinlichkeit ab, sondern von der Klarheit der eigenen Absichten. Das Spiel kann still oder mit verbaler Absicht gespielt werden, was zusätzliche Bedeutung und Antworten bringt. Indische Yogis betrachten das Lila-Spiel als einen Dialog mit dem eigenen Geist, der zur Transformation der Persönlichkeit führt. Die Veränderungen im physischen Leben zeigen sich in den folgenden sechs Monaten. VORBEREITUNG: Nimm dir eine Frage, die dich aktuell sehr beschäftigt, ein Notizbuch und einen Stift und ein persönliches Objekt bzw. einen Talisman mit. Getränke und Snacks stellen wir zur Verfügung.

Sundays, 2pm-3pm. Trial class: CHF 20 Drop-in: CHF 35 Book here: www.balancewithale.com/zurich/handstand "I'll never be able to handstand". You kick at the wall but see no progress. Your wrists hurt. You don't know how to improve... It doesn't have to be this way. Progress doesn't come from trying harder — it comes from practicing smarter. Handstands are a skill, and when you train them as such, they begin to click in a way that feels almost magical. This class builds the foundations (strength, alignment and technique) that make handstands feel achievable and fun. Through clear progressions and personalized drills, you'll discover how capable your body truly is, and how handstands start to feel within reach when you train with intention and support. Because drills are tailored to you, the class welcomes all levels — from "I've never kicked up before" to confident freestanding balancers who want to develop greater control.

In diesem Workshop erkunden wir auf spielerische und achtsame Weise neue Bewegungsmöglichkeiten. Mit einfachen Improvisationsaufgaben, klaren Impulsen und viel Raum zum Ausprobieren entdecken wir, wie vielfältig Bewegung sein kann. Dabei geht es nicht darum, „schön“ oder „richtig“ zu tanzen, sondern den eigenen Körper auf neue Weise in Bewegung zu erleben. Improvisation kann helfen, den eigenen Bewegungsspielraum zu erweitern, den Körper bewusster wahrzunehmen und neue Ausdrucksmöglichkeiten zu entdecken. Mal ruhig und fein, mal lebendig und überraschend, erforschen wir, was entsteht, wenn wir uns bewegen dürfen, ohne etwas Bestimmtes leisten zu müssen. Was wir gemeinsam erarbeiten: * Mehr Vertrauen ins eigene Bewegen * Ein bewussteres Erleben von Körper, Raum und Bewegung * Freude am Experimentieren und am spontanen Entstehenlassen * Mehr Offenheit für den eigenen körperlichen Ausdruck Ausgleich: Fr. 25 Zeit: 13:00 – 15:00 Bei Fragen schreibe mir gerne ein Mail: info@koerperdialog.ch

„Echte Sicherheit entsteht nicht durch die Abwesenheit von Triggern, sondern durch die Fähigkeit, mit ihnen umzugehen.“ Häufig warten wir in intimen Situationen darauf, dass ein Raum „sicher genug“ ist, um uns zu öffnen. In diesem Workshop drehen wir die Perspektive um: Sicherheit ist kein passiver Zustand, sondern eine aktive, somatische Handlung. Wir laden dich ein, die Loyalität zu deinem eigenen Körper über das Ziel einer „perfekten“ Begegnung zu stellen. **Die Schwerpunkte von Modul 1:** Somatic Consent: Lerne, die Stimme deines Körpers als Navigationskompass zu nutzen. Wo sagst du „Ja“, um zu gefallen, obwohl dein System Schutz braucht? Containment & Intensität: Wie viel Lust, Scham oder Discomfort kannst du halten, ohne zu dissoziieren? Die 5%-Bedürfnis-Regel: Wir üben, Impulse in winzigen Dosen zu erfahren, damit dein Nervensystem „mitkommen“ kann, ohne geflutet zu werden. **Was dich erwartet:** Ein zweitägiger Forschungsraum mit Einzel- und Partnerübungen. Wir nutzen radikale Verlangsamung, um die Kapazität für dein eigenes Erleben zu erweitern. Als sex-positiver Lernraum sind Nacktheit und Berührung willkommen, aber immer basierend auf radikaler Freiwilligkeit. Datum: 9. – 10. Mai 2026 Zeit: Sa 10:00–20:00 | So 10:00–18:00 Ort: Oberdorfstrasse, Zürich Leitung: Michèle (Intuitive Wisdom) & Jasmin (Onda+Mare) Preis: 420 CHF (Early Bird 380 CHF bis 5. April) Voraussetzung: Offen für alle (Anfänger & Fortgeschrittene). **Wichtige Infos für die Events:** Radikale Freiwilligkeit: Du entscheidest in jedem Moment über dein Level an Beteiligung. Aktives Zuschauen oder Pausen sind jederzeit willkommen. Anmeldung: Die Zusage hier auf Meetup dient der Vernetzung. Eine verbindliche Anmeldung erfolgt über michele-brand.ch bzw. Onda+Mare. Bist du bereit, deine Intimität aus der Tiefe deines Körpers heraus neu zu definieren? Wir freuen uns auf dich!

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.

Join us for lunch/tea at Asterisk Supper Club to discuss our May book "Under the Oak Tree" by Suji Kim Lady Maximilian is the daughter of the powerful Duke Croyso, but she is rarely allowed outside her family’s sprawling castle for fear that her stutter will tarnish their noble name. When she is forced to marry Sir Riftan, a lowborn knight caught in one of her father’s schemes, Maxi doesn’t dare hope for happiness, let alone love. Her stumbling communication and his gruff manner sour their relationship before it can begin, and Riftan leaves without a word the morning after their vows are exchanged. Now, three years after their disastrous wedding night, Riftan has returned as a war hero. To Maxi’s surprise, despite rumors that he was offered marriage to Princess Agnes, a beautiful and renowned sorceress, Riftan still wants Maxi for his wife. And when he comes to claim her, his longing becomes a desire that bewilders Maxi, even as she is overcome by the scorching heat that Riftan’s presence ignites within her. As she learns to navigate the intricacies of her new life, Maxi will find herself and her courage, and discover that she is anything but powerless.
