Hallo! Mein Name ist Michał und ich bin langjähriger Meditationspraktizierender und Bewusstseins-Coach. (Die Veranstaltung findet im GZ Heuried – Döltschiweg 130, 8055 Zürich statt. **Ich bitte um eine schriftliche Bestätigung deiner Teilnahme bei der Anmeldung.)** https://gz-zh.ch/gz-heuried/angebote/meditation-runterkommen/ In dieser geführten Meditation werden wir die Realität genau so beobachten, wie sie ist. Wir konzentrieren uns auf den Geist, den Körper und die Empfindungen im Körper. Die von mir geleitete Meditation ist in der Vipassana-Tradition verwurzelt und enthält Elemente der non-dualen Bewusstheit. Ich verwende keine Visualisierungen oder göttliche Bilder – sie ist so einfach wie möglich und meiner Erfahrung nach die effektivste Methode, die wahre Natur der Realität allmählich Tropfen für Tropfen zu erkennen. Diese Meditation ist für alle spirituellen oder religiösen Hintergründe offen. Der Abend besteht aus **einer Stunde Meditation**, gefolgt von **30 Minuten Fragen und Antworten**. Ich würde mich sehr freuen, wenn du an diesem Abend teilnehmen würdest. **Gebühr – 20 CHF**. Wenn du finanzielle Schwierigkeiten hast, kontaktiere mich bitte, und wir können über andere Möglichkeiten sprechen.

In collaboration with **Zalando Switzerland**, we explore how AI agents are transforming software engineering. **Note:** These two talks will be held in **English**. **1st Talk:** Title: **Agentic Coding in the Wild** **Ole Wendland** shares hands-on experience on delegating technical tasks while maintaining human oversight. **The Core Concept:** Tasks like boilerplate, tests, and glue code are delegable, but **business logic and architecture** remain a human responsibility. The developer’s role shifts to a steering authority: **"Trust, but verify."** **Key Takeaways:** * **Precision Matters:** Agents execute what is explicitly described, not what is implicitly meant. * **Real-World Challenges:** From complex debugging (symptom vs. cause) to potential knowledge loss through over-delegation. * **The Shift:** Teams and organizations must adapt to a new, accelerated pace of development. Discover how **Agentic Coding** drives massive efficiency when combined with clear control and structured processes. **2nd Talk:** Title: **Data Engineering with Codex** **Andy Bloechliger**, Backend Engineer at Zalando This talk offers a practical look at how a Zalando data engineer uses the Codex AI agent to automate daily workflows, providing actionable tips for mastering agentic tools and a glimpse into the road ahead for AI-powered teams.

We all know that product work isn’t just about developing features. It’s about making product work sustainable - from keeping discovery alive over time to getting products launched without wasting too much energy on alignment, stakeholder management, and organisational friction. That’s often where product work starts to slip: discovery isn’t maintained, launches stall, and too much effort goes into managing the system instead of building the product. Join the **Product Academy** community at Westpark Zurich for an evening of raw insights, real-world failures, and proven frameworks from two industry experts. **Who is this for?** * The Strategist: PMs who want to use Opportunity Solution Trees (OST) to build the right thing faster. * The Change-Maker: PMs in large corporates are tired of "stalled" launches and stakeholder misalignment. * The Lifelong Learner: Anyone looking to network with the Zurich product community. **Limited spots available**. **The Lineup:** **Vivienne Clement (Product Owner @ Swiss Post)** * Talk: What happens when the Product is ready, but the Organisation isn't? * The Vibe: A deep dive into the "political" side of PMing. Learn how to manage stakeholder buy-in and overcome hidden resistance when **launching AI and B2B products** in large corporations. **John Huertas (Product Manager @ Swiss Re)** * Talk: Making Continuous Discovery & Opportunity Solution Trees Sustainable. * The Vibe: Move beyond theory. John shares lessons from a multi-year journey of experimentation to show how teams can bring more discipline to discovery, improve prioritisation, and make product decisions with greater confidence. **The details:** * 📅 When: May 7, 2026 * ⏰ Time: 18:30 CET * 📍 Where: Westpark Zurich Grab your seat and let’s level up your product game together!

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.

Die CSS hat 2024 einen weiteren grossen Schritt auf ihrer Reise zur Business Agilität unternommen: Mit der Einführung von SAFe, sechs Agile Release Trains, einem agilen Portfolio sowie der Anpassung von Organisation, Budget und Strategie. Obwohl Scrum bereits seit 2014 in der Softwareentwicklung verankert ist, bedeutete dieser Wandel einen tiefgreifenden organisatorischen und kulturellen Schritt. In dieser Session berichtet ein Mitglied des Transformationsteams, was in den letzten zwei Jahren im agilen Umfeld der CSS mit rund 500 Mitarbeitenden geschehen ist. Themen wie agile Führung, Zusammenspiel zwischen Team, ART und Portfolio, Kommunikation, Kulturwandel und Mindset-Change stehen dabei im Mittelpunkt. Lass dich auf die Reise mitnehmen — welche Herausforderungen haben wir gemeistert, wo sind wir gescheitert und welche Themen uns weiterhin beschäftigen. Tauche mit Martin Ineichen in diese spannende Transformation ein. Ich freue mich auf viele Interessierte, einen offenen Austausch, viele Fragen und eine lebendige Diskussionen. ✱✱✱ Martin Ineichen, ist seit 12 Jahren im agilen Umfeld bei der CSS unterwegs. War mit Herzblut SM, konnte dies auch nie ganz ablegen. Vertritt agile Konzepte mit viel Enthusiasmus und gibt sein Wissen und seine Ansichten auch gerne weiter. Immer mit dem Ziel, ein besseres Arbeiten zu ermöglichen. Martin ist Mitorganisator des Agile Breakfast Luzern. In seiner Freizeit ist er ein Familienmensch mit einem grünen Daumen.

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

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.

Read below to learn about our groups and click the links at the bottom to apply. ### **What is an Outdoor Empowerment Group?** Our Outdoor Movement & Community Empowerment Groups are simple, guided experiences designed to help people reconnect with nature, themselves, and others. We combine some form of movement (hike, walk, run, bike, yoga, workout) and meaningful conversation within a simple community circle to create a space where individuals can support each other while prioritizing mental and physical well-being. Whether you’re seeking stress relief, personal growth, or community, our groups offer everyone a unique and welcoming environment. ## **Why Join?** * **Improve Mental & Physical Well-Being** – Movement, nature, and supportive conversations reduce stress and promote balance. * **Feel Less Alone** – Build genuine connections with like-minded people in a safe, welcoming space. * **Gain Clarity & Perspective** – Step outside daily routines and into a space designed for personal growth and reflection. ## **The Ideal Group Leader** The ideal group leader * Has a born-in passion for mental health, movement, connecting with nature and building community. * Has 5 extra hours per week to dedicate to a meaningful cause for at least one year. Yes, you can leave any organization at any time and we can also ask you to leave, but we are building with legacy in mind and we need people who can commit and be ALL IN on this mission to build with us. * Is independently financially stable with the ability to volunteer with no expectation of pay. This is a deeply beautiful journey of service that all participants commit to at Speak Your Mind. * An ability to manage groups with high emotional intelligence and desire for human connection. * An ability to self-motivate and market/promote their group on Facebook and other social platforms. * Nature informed therapy or clinical therapists/psychologists a plus. ## **Our Impact**  Since launching, we have helped thousands find support, connection, and healing through our Outdoor Movement Groups. 100% of participants surveyed have reported: * A noticeable improvement in mental clarity and emotional well-being. * An increase in social connection and a sense of belonging. * Said they would return again. We believe mental health should be accessible, community-driven, and rooted in nature. Join us and take the first step toward a more connected, grounded, and supported version of yourself. ### **Why Our Groups are Donation-Based** Our Outdoor Movement Groups are made possible through a donation-based model. This approach allows us to keep our events accessible to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances, while also ensuring that we can continue expanding our reach. It’s a great way to pay it forward and support the growth of this beautiful mission! Every contribution helps us: * **Cover Essential Costs** – Donations allow us to pay essential legal, marketing, insurance, and admin costs as well as nourish the important people who run the organization. * **Grow Our Mission** – With your support, we can bring these healing experiences to thousands more people in the future and execute our long term plan to expand across the USA, affecting up to 500,000 people per year. By choosing to contribute, you’re not just leading an event—you’re helping build a mental health movement that supports long-term well-being and connection for all during a severe mental health epidemic. ## **Come Join Us!** We’d love to have you be part of this growing community of people prioritizing their mental health, movement, and connection. 🔹 **Visit Our Website to Learn More:** https://speakyourmind.men/joinusoutside 🔹 **Apply Here to Lead Your Own Group!** – https://form.jotform.com/taketimespeakyourmind/sym-group-leader-application 🔹 **Support the mission**: If you resonate with the mission and want to support, feel free to join a group before applying or donate to help us reach our goals to help more people!
