What does it mean to live a good life? Should we always do the “right” thing — and how do we even decide what *right* means? From social freezing to climate responsibility, from AI dilemmas to personal relationships, ethical questions quietly shape our daily lives. Aristotle reminds us that ethics is not an abstract debate; it is the study of how to live well as a human being — to achieve *eudaimonia*, the good life. This is a life not defined merely by pleasure or success, but by the development of our character and the exercise of reason in action. In this event, we’ll explore three foundational ideas from Aristotle: * **Eudaimonia:** The art of living well as a human being - a life shaped by reason, virtue, and thoughtful choice, where each action and habit contributes to becoming the person one is capable of being. * **The Golden Mean:** Virtue is a matter of balance — between deficiency and excess, courage and recklessness, generosity and stinginess. Finding this balance is not formulaic but requires judgment and reflection. * **Virtues as Habits:** Moral excellence is formed through practice. We become just, courageous, and temperate not by thinking about it once, but by repeatedly choosing to act well until it shapes who we are. This event invites you to grapple with these ideas in conversation and in practice. We’ll discuss modern dilemmas through an Aristotelian lens, examining how balance, character, and thoughtful action guide decisions in everyday life. **What to expect:** * An accessible introduction to Aristotle’s ethics * Engagement with contemporary dilemmas, from personal choices to societal challenges * Interactive discussions that encourage questioning, disagreement, and reflection * Opportunities to explore how ethical insight can shape habits and help us **live well** Here's a short and entertaining appetizer on the topic: [Aristotle’s Virtue Ethics — CrashCourse Philosophy #38 (9 min)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrvtOWEXDIQ) **Important:** When you register for the event, please commit to it and don't be a NO SHOW. Presumably, when the ancient philosophers decided to go to an event, they kept to it.
;) **Payment:** You can pay at the venue (Twint/Revolut/Cash). Thus, if you want to register at Meetup just click attend - no more needed ;). We look forward to seeing you.

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 \*\*\*

## (Lesson 2) ## What to expect Project Equilibrium is an in-person introduction to disciplined, rule-based trading automation. This first event is designed to be clear, practical, and approachable—no hype, no pressure, and no prior technical background required. ### Why we meet (two-session structure) This meetup is structured as **two lessons**: **Lesson 1 — The “Why” (mindset + framework)** * What Project Equilibrium is (and what it is not) * Why we focus on process, rules, and execution discipline * What “24/7 execution” means in practice * Q&A and open discussion **Lesson 2 — The “How” (step-by-step setup)** * A simple walkthrough of the basic tools you need * Step-by-step guidance to install and prepare the required exchange apps/accounts * A clear checklist to be ready for future sessions (You won’t be left alone—everything is explained calmly and in order.) ### What to bring To make the second lesson smooth, please bring: * **A smartphone** (for authentication and exchange app setup) * **A laptop** (for the setup steps and configuration) If you only have one device, you can still join Lesson 1. The setup lesson is simply easier with both. ### Who this is for * People curious about algorithmic execution and portfolio discipline * Beginners who want a structured approach * Experienced traders who want more consistency and less stress ### Agenda * Welcome + introductions * Lesson focus of the day (Why / How) * Guided walkthrough (where applicable) * Q&A + next steps ### How to find the group * Arrive a few minutes early and look for the **Project Equilibrium** group. * I will be there to welcome attendees if you’re unsure, simply ask the venue staff for the Meetup group name.

Join us for 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. Mäng is 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?** * 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 🧭 No prior experience needed — just bring your question or theme. 🕒 **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 dear Challengers, if you wish to join the Limmat swim and strengthen your body, join me to that swim. I will give you a short introduction on the "why" you should do it and then you will tell me if you want to do it. I am a trained lifeguard (SLRG), I did also the Hypothermia Module and I am swimming in the cold since 2015. Take with you all the necessary to swim, flip/flop, safe buoy (something like the orange donut here below, if you have it) and a Thermos. https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/a/a/7/5/600_466843637.jpeg See you there!

**Mit Frohsinn und Zuversicht das Leben gestalten — Ängste, Stress- und Überforderungsgefühle überwinde** **Ablauf:** Kennenlernen: 9.00 4 Module: 9.15- 11.00, 11.30 – 13.00 13.00 - 15.00 Mittagessen 5.00 – 16.30, 17.00 – 18.30 **Beschreibung** Leider fühlen sich viele Menschen vom Leben so stark überfordert oder sogar gestresst, dass sie sich nur von einer Auszeit ein wenig Erholung versprechen. Wie ist es möglich, im Alltag frohsinnig sein zu können und zuversichtlich durchs Leben zu gehen? Wie kann es sein, dass Menschen trotz – oder gerade wegen – vieler Aufgaben meistens beglückt und erfüllt von den vielen freundschaftlichen und erkenntnisreichen Erlebnissen zu Bett gehen? Sind das Glückspilze oder wie haben sie diese innere Haltung entwickeln können? Wie kann das eigentlich möglich sein, dass neugierige und weltoffene Säuglinge und Kleinkinder, weitgehend ohne erkennbare Stressgefühle und Freizeitwünschen wochen- und monatelang unaufhörlich motorisch schwierigste Kunststücke entwickeln, ständig neue Menschen in verschiedensten Gefühlslagen kennenlernen, unaufhörlich Gegen-stände mit Händen und Mund untersuchen, mit Krabbeln Muskelgruppen trainieren und mit grösstem Aufwand sprechen und laufen lernen? Anstatt gegen solche Zumutungen zu protestieren, zeigen sie Freude daran, wenn andere sich dabei mitfreuen. Warum gelingt es vielen schon bald nicht mehr, den Alltag mit Interesse und Frohsinn zu meistern und zuversichtlich durchs Leben zu gehen? Wie kommt es dazu, dass nach und nach so viele Ängste entstehen, sogar Stress- und Überforderungsgefühle, auch bei selbst gewählten Berufs- und Freizeitaktivitäten, ja sogar in der Kindererziehung, in Freund- und Partnerschaften? Dahinter stehen unverstandene Gefühlsüberzeugungen, maladaptive Lebensstrategien und Irrtümer in den Lebenszielen, was zu Selbstzweifeln, Unruhe, Rückzug und Nervosität führen kann. An diesem Seminar kann man erfahren, wie man die unbewusste Lebenslogik verstehen lernen. Wir freuen uns auf einen frohsinnigen, gefühlsverbundenen gemeinsamen Tag.

**Czy doświadczasz jednego lub więcej objawów?** * Obniżony nastrój i brak energii * Problemy ze snem * Gonitwa myśli i niepoków * Napięciowe bóle głowy albo ból brzucha ze stresu? * Niskie libido * Rozdrażnienie **Na tym wprowadzającym warsztacie:** **Zrozumiesz** Emocje żyją w naszym ciele w równym stopniu co w naszym umyśle. Na warsztacie dowiesz się więcej na temat związku stresu, depresji czy lęków z fizycznymi dolegliwościami, takimi jak trudności z zasypianiem. **Poćwiczysz** Nauczymy się prostych ćwiczeń, które pomogą ci wyjść z głowy i lepiej poczuć ciało i emocje w nim żyjące. To nie są ćwiczenia fitness tylko nauka czucia i wyrażania emocji przez ciało. Praktyki są wynikiem ponad 20 lat pracy Aleksandra Lowena z pacjentami terapeutycznymi. **Wyregulujesz** Jednym z celów ćwiczeń somatycznych jest regulacja emocji i poprawa samopoczucia. Dążymy do tego, żeby czuć się spokojniej i mieć więcej energii. Jeśli będziesz regularnie wykonywać ćwiczenia poprawi się twój nastrój i samopoczucie. **Ćwiczenia lowenowskie: czego się spodziewać?** Metoda Lowena, zwana Analizą Bioenergetyczną to metoda psychoterapii przez ciało stosowana od lat 50. XX wieku. Jej twórca, psychiatra i terapeuta Alexander Lowen inspirował się klasyczną psychoanalizą Freuda i w oparciu o prace Wilhelma Reicha stworzył własną szkołę terapii psychodynamicznej. W tej metodzie terapii łączymy rozmowę z uważnością na sygnały z ciała oraz wyrażaniem emocji przez ruch i ekspresję. Metoda jest stale rozwijana i unowocześniana, czerpie m.in. z teorii przywiązana, wiedzy o systemie nerwowym czy traumie. Poza indywidualną terapią popularne są również grupy i warsztaty ćwiczeń lowenowskich. Mają one charakter rozwojowy i mogą być stosowane przez osoby zdrowe a także uzupełniająco przez osoby w terapii “mówionej” (po uzgodnieniu z terapeut/ką). **Twoja prowadząca:** Anka Grzywacz jest doradczynią bioenergetyczną (metody Lowena) SGfBA, po dwuletnim szkoleniu w Niemczech. Obecnie kontynuuje na IV roku szkolenie z psychoterapii ciała (analiza bioenergetyczna, metoda Lowena). Należy do International Institute for Bioenergetic Analysis. Swoją pracę poddaje regularnej superwizji. Ponadto Anka ma bogate doświadczenie i 1,5 roku szkolenia w zakresie prowadzenia warsztatów (Szkoła Warsztatu i Treningu Psychologicznego INTRA w Warszawie). Jest również seksuolożką. **Informacje praktyczne:** * Przytulne studio w pobliżu przystanku Triemli. * Mała grupa maksymalnie 7 osób (wszyscy bez względu na płeć). * Warsztaty otwarte dla wszystkich bez względu na płeć. Wiek od 18 lat. * Studio ma utrudnienia dostępu (można do niego wejść tylko po schodkach w dół). **Przeciwwskazania:** * Ciąża. * Historia epizodów psychotycznych lub przyjmowanie leków przeciwpsychotycznych. * Osoby przyjmujące leki przeciwdepresyjne mogą uczestniczyć w warsztatach, ale tylko wtedy, gdy czują się wystarczająco stabilne. Sugeruję najpierw skonsultować się z terapeut/ką lub psychiatrą. Praca somatyczna w grupie może być cennym uzupełnieniem psychoterapii opartej na rozmowie, pod warunkiem, że czujesz się stabilnie. * Wrażliwość na hałas, tupanie (niektóre osoby uwalniają emocje, wydając głośne dźwięki, niektóre ćwiczenia obejmują tupanie lub kopanie). * Jeśli masz inne poważne schorzenia lub przyjmujesz silne leki, proszę najpierw porozmawiaj z lekarzem lub wyślij mi wiadomość w celu wstępnej oceny. Tu opinia jednej z klientek: *“Miałam przyjemność pracować z Anką podczas sesji ćwiczeń somatycznych i jestem pod ogromnym wrażeniem jej wiedzy i podejścia. Od samego początku spokojne i intuicyjne wskazówki Anki sprawiły, że poczułam się całkowicie swobodnie. Starannie dostosowała sesję do moich potrzeb, udzielając jasnych instrukcji i tworząc bezpieczne, sprzyjające środowisko, które pozwoliło mi się całkowicie zrelaksować i połączyć z moim ciałem. Głębokie zrozumienie zasad somatycznych przez Ankę było oczywiste, a jej umiejętność delikatnego prowadzenia mnie przez każdy ruch sprawiła, że poczułam się bardziej świadoma, ugruntowana i jakby młodsza. Gorąco polecam Ankę wszystkim, którzy chcą zgłębiać ćwiczenia somatyczne lub pogłębiać połączenie między umysłem a ciałem"* **Bilety:** Podana cena to 62 CHF, została tak podana, żebym mogła wziąć na siebie prowizję systemu rezerwacyjnego. Pełna cena przy kasie wyniesie ok. 65 CHF. Bilety są bezzwrotne. Jeśli się rozchorujesz i przedstawisz zaświadczenie lekarskie, mogę przepisać Cię na podobny warsztat w kolejnych miesiącach. Ilość zapisów może nie odzwierciedlać rzeczywistości, gdyż warsztaty są ogłaszane w kilku miejscach. Obowiązuje zasada "kto pierwszy, ten lepszy" (w przypadku rezerwacji ponad limit obowiązuje lista oczekujących, w razie potrzeby zostanie zaproponowany dodatkowy termin lub zwrot wpłaty).

Viele Menschen kennen diesen inneren Kampf. Ein ständiges Dagegen. Gegen Gedanken. Gegen Gefühle. Gegen sich selbst. Man bemüht sich, versteht, hält durch. Nach aussen funktioniert alles. Doch innen bleibt Spannung. Ein Druck. Eine leise, anhaltende Erschöpfung. In dieser Samstagsgruppe geht es nicht darum, noch mehr zu analysieren oder sich weiter anzustrengen. Wir arbeiten auf einer Ebene, die dem Denken vorausgeht. Dort, wo innerer Widerstand entsteht – und wo er auch nachlassen kann. Was dabei geschieht, lässt sich nur schwer erklären. Aber es lässt sich erfahren. Oft überraschend unmittelbar. Oft deutlich entlastend. 👉 **Ein kurzes Video gibt einen Einblick in diese Arbeit:** [das unbewusste](https://youtu.be/D1ak1AxhSYA) Weitere Informationen findest du hier: 🌐 [selbstwert-trainer.ch](www.selbstwert-trainer.ch) Du musst nichts vorbereiten. Nichts erzählen. Nichts leisten. Du darfst einfach da sein und schauen, was sich zeigt. 📍 **Ort:** Praxis Ruoss Stampfli, Else Züblin-Strasse 15, 8047 Zürich 🕒 **Zeit:** Samstag, 10:00–12:00 Uhr 💰 **Beitrag:** Kollekte 📩 **Anmeldung:** per WhatsApp an **076 419 25 72**

**People Analytics 101: Making Sense of Compensation Data** Compensation data is one of the most widely used and widely misunderstood forms of people analytics. The session will cover where compensation data comes from, including market pricing data, internal payroll data, and benchmarking sources, and how companies think about structuring and analyzing that information. We will explore how compensation data is leveraged to set salary ranges, manage internal equity, support hiring and retention, and align pay with business strategy. A portion of the session will address common data challenges and limitations, such as market noise, inconsistent job matching, and incomplete datasets, while keeping the primary focus on practical use rather than technical depth. The session will also look ahead at where the space is going, including the growing impact of pay transparency laws, expanding pay equity requirements, and emerging regulations in the US and Europe that require organizations to report on gender and pay gaps. The goal is to give attendees a clear mental model for how compensation analytics works today and why getting it right is becoming increasingly critical. (note: we are back at Rev1 this month!) **About Our Speaker** [Alex Moore](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexscottmoore/) is the founder of [Moore Cooperative](https://moorecooperative.com/), where he advises organizations on compensation strategy, pay equity, and people analytics. His work focuses on helping organizations like the Ohio Supreme Court design, analyze, and communicate compensation systems that are data-informed, defensible, and aligned with organizational goals. Alex lives in Granville, Ohio and has three little kiddos. More info at [cbusdaw.com](https://cbusdaw.com)

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.

How to be a Better Communicator Communication is everything in life Sunday, 23 February at 2pm.

Confidence can be cultivated in many ways—through reflection, conversation, creativity, and practice. In this Confidence Lab session, we’ll explore one powerful pathway: **building confidence from the inside out through physical expression and movement**. This experience is designed to help you reconnect with your body as a source of insight, self-trust, and presence. We’ll begin by grounding into what’s bringing you here, creating space to notice how your body is showing up and what it’s holding. From there, you’ll be guided through accessible movement exercises that invite awareness and choice—isolating different parts of the body, experimenting with movement, and practicing what it feels like to take up space intentionally. Next, you’ll participate in a small-group dance lesson led in a supportive, low-pressure environment. No dance experience is needed. The focus is not on performance or perfection, but on expression, curiosity, and allowing yourself to move with confidence as you are. We’ll close with a reflective group discussion, exploring what emerged during the experience and how these insights can be applied beyond the studio—how you inhabit your body, how you carry yourself, and how you show up in everyday life. **What to know:** * Wear comfortable clothes and shoes that you feel good moving in * No dance experience required * Light snacks and beverages will be provided This session is for anyone interested in deepening their relationship with confidence by listening to their body, expanding their capacity for self-expression, and practicing self-love as an embodied experience. **Featured Speaker: Mary Grace** Mary Grace, the dynamic force behind MG Choreography & Boutique, has been transforming special occasions with her unique blend of artistry and passion for over seven years. As a proud Latina, with Venezuelan and Mexican heritage, Mary brings a rich cultural perspective to every choreography she creates. Her dedication to dance is matched only by her commitment to empowering others through the joy and elegance of movement. Mary’s journey began with a simple passion for dancing, which quickly grew into a thriving business. She specializes in crafting personalized choreography for weddings, quinceañeras, and sweet sixteens, ensuring each event is unforgettable. Determined to make a significant impact in Ohio, Mary established the first-of-its-kind brick-and-mortar location that not only offers a space to practice these beautiful dances but also provides a boutique experience for purchasing or renting exquisite dresses and tuxedos for these special moments. Mary Grace is more than just a business owner; she is a trailblazer for Latina women in the community, dedicated to bringing elegance, joy, and a touch of her vibrant heritage to every event she touches. **What is Confidence Lab?** Confidence Lab is a monthly community experience for bold, thoughtful leaders building confidence from the inside out. Whether you’re launching a business, leading a team, navigating change, or simply striving to show up more fully—you belong here. Our work demands clarity, courage, and conviction—but the pace of daily life can erode our sense of self. Confidence Lab creates space to reflect, reconnect, and grow with others doing purpose-driven work. It’s designed for entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, creatives, corporate professionals, activists, and anyone ready to lead with authenticity and impact. ***Please note:*** *All are welcome!
