Want **more info** than our Summary above? Then please read below: . . . . . **WHY?** we ❤️ **uniting people** and building **community** while having **fun!** We truly believe that **fun meaningful offline connections** to new & existing friends makes us truly happy and healthy! Our community meets **every 2 Fridays** in a **homey,** caring and **welcoming** "come as you are" environment ! . **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 — 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 others—so you're free to **explore what resonates** with you! Together these activities create a unique **Connection** **Event.** . . . . **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.** We have a lot of activities * **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 . . **.** **Some final words:** * **Bravo** **to you** for the courage to go out to meet new people! We know **everyone is unique** \- thats why we got a big new\-comer area\, 4 co\-hosts welcoming and connecting you\, and many activities for you to **choose** from to find what **suits you**! * **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! * **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! 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 Zürich 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.** * more info via our **[LINKS](http://linktr.ee/connectionspace)** * Yes YOU are **good** & **courageous** for looking for new fun connections! * Everyone is in same situation and you ll be surprised how **friendly people** are ❤️ * 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 * **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. . . . . ``` Disclaimer & participation terms (Connection Space): By registering for and/or attending this event (“Event”), you agree: Registration required.

Dear All, This session is mainly for the people who want to learn kundalini yoga/meditation in a traditional way. Traditionally the master will transfer his/her kundalini energy to the student to activate his important chakras (energy centre) including Third Eye and Crown Chakra. The student can start to feel his/her Kundalini Energy is rising from their base of the spine and feeling the energy vibration(Consciousness) in the third eye (the space between the eyebrows) from the Kundalini Activation. This session is helpful for the beginners who want to learn simple yoga-meditation exercises also. This is a general session to experience your inner kundalini energy. But if you need proper kundalini activation(Shaktipat), then pre-registration is mandatory. **What is included in this session?** Simple stretching practices for Hip and Spine (not complicated, even beginners can do) Kundalini Breathing Techniques Sound Energy (Mantra) Meditation Energy Healing Techniques Formal Kundalini Activation (optional and only for pre-registered people) Chakra Meditation Yoga Nidra (Relaxation) **Some of the benefits of Kundalini Energy Activation are:** Keeps the body healthy Mind attains its natural peaceful state, so the meditation becomes easy. Breathing pattern will be harmonized Stress release and peace Clear & sharp intellect More intuition Inner happiness Clairvoyance and Clairvision and to the ultimate SELF realization (which will lead to the blissful state - our true state) with enough years of practise **DONATION BASIS** **About the Teacher who conducts this session:** The kundalini wisdom teacher Jayaprakash is practising kundalini yoga since 2005 under the guidance of Self Realized Indian Master "GuruMahan". He is teaching kundalini yoga since 2008 as part of a non-profit organization "Maha Shakthi Yogam Switzerland". He teaches Yoga/Meditation/Pranic Healing/Stress Relief courses in various places of Germany and Switzerland. He is the authorized kundalini yoga wisdom teacher from UPF(India) to give kundalini initiations (Shaktipat) with the Grace and Protection of his Master. All these events are conducted for non-profit purpose. Donations are collected on behalf of Swiss non-profit organization (Verein) "Maha Shakthi Yogam - Switzerland" **Eligibility:** Anyone can attend the session even if they don't have previous yoga/Meditation experiences. **Dress:** Wear a comfortable dress if possible yoga dress. We provide the yoga mat. **Please RSVP only you are really interested and coming ! Limited Seats !** **About Kundalini Shaktipat:** In every human being there is a source of natural energy that the yogis call the kundalini. In order to evolve in the yogic path, no matter what our path, the kundalini must be active. For most of us, the kundalini lies dormant at the bottom of the spine in the base chakra known as the Muladhar. When it awakens, it ascends through the chakras until it reaches the highest chakra, the Sahasrar. When that occurs, we merge with our True Self and attain SELF realization (our true nature). Shaktipat is the transfer of spiritual energy from the teacher to the student in order to awaken the kundalini. This process is compared to lighting one candle with another that is already lit and glowing. When the teacher is connected with the fully realized master and the energy is completely within his or her control, shaktipat initiation ensures that the student’s energy will remain active and stable. "Electricity is present everywhere, but there can be light only when the switch is turned on. Similarly the true master manifests the consciousness in the disciple through shaktipat.” **HAPPINESS is our TRUE Nature, which comes from within not from outside !**

Im Film wird an vielen Beispielen deutlich, wie sich sogar eine Antipathie und ein ausgefeilter und lang andauernder Konkurrenzkampf nach und nach zu einer Freundschaft und sogar zu einer Liebe wandeln kann. Wie ist das möglich, fragt man sich in Zeiten, wo allerorten darauf hingewiesen wird, dass man sich von sogenannt narzisstischen und toxischen Menschen trennen müsste und sein Glück in der Selbstbeglückung finden sollte? Grundlage ist das Wissen darüber, dass der Mensch seine Gefühle, sein Denken und Handeln in den ersten Jahren in den sozialen Erfahrungen mit seinen Bezugspersonen entwickelt. Er ist sich dann sicher, wie er andere Menschen und die Welt wahrnimmt und wie er sie zu beurteilen hat. Auch glaubt er, seine spontanen Vorurteile seien real. Im Gegensatz dazu kann der Mensch seine Fehlwahrnehmung und seine irrtümlichen Haltungen sogar dann ändern, wenn er aggressiv belästigt wird. Es braucht dazu einen Anlass, seine Vorurteile zu überprüfen und sich an den zunächst feindseligen Menschen anzunähern und seine Motive zu verstehen. Der Regisseur Lasse Hallström zeigt ganz feinsinnig im Film, dass gute Beziehungen wichtiger sind als Karriere, Geld und Ruhm, genauso wie in der 75 Jahre dauernden Longitudinalstudie aus Boston untersucht worden ist ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KkKuTCFvzI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KkKuTCFvzI)). Dass solche tragenden Freundschaften und sogar Liebesverhältnisse auch unter extremen Bedingungen entstehen können, zeigt der Film symbolisch: Eine indisch muslimische Familie Kadam (indisch: Beginn des Lebens) verliert die sehr gut kochende Mutter im Feuer bei Massakern hinduistischer Nationalisten in Mumbai ihr Leben. Die Familie flieht nach Frankreich. Bei einer Autopanne erfahren sie grosse Hilfsbereitschaft der aufstrebenden Spitzenköchin Marguerite. Gleichzeitig begibt sich der Vater mit seinem neu eröffneten indischen Restaurant ausgerechnet in Konkurrenz mit einem französischen Spitzenrestaurant, deren Leiterin Madame Mallory (Die Unglückliche), alles daran setzt, die Inder zu vertreiben. Das indische Restaurant wird auch in Frankreich Opfer eines Brandanschlages. Der gegenseitige Kampf der beiden Restaurantbesitzer wandelt sich zu einer zunehmenden Freundschaft dadurch, dass sie Gemeinsamkeiten – hier im Engagement für einen kulinarischen Feingeschmack, am gemeinsamen Vorankommen, an der Exaktheit und im Entdecken von Genüssen - insbesondere aber daran, dass sie sich beide an der Beziehung und füreinander da zu sein in einem sanften Miteinander bei beiden in den Vordergrund rückt. Die Turbulenzen und Missverständnisse entfachen eine Geschichte über Akzeptanz, Liebe und eine Verbindung von Kulturen durch die universelle Sprache der Freude an der Beziehung. Der älteste Sohn Hassan der indischen Familie verfeinert nicht nur seine kulinarischen Fähigkeiten durch die Geheimnisse der französischen Küche über eine zunehmende Freundschaft und Liebe zu Marguerite, der aufstrebenden Köchin im französischen Restaurant, sondern entdeckt die Zutaten zu einem erfüllten Leben.

Here are complete details and our plan for this event: FAITH MISSION – GRANT KITCHEN: The Faith Mission kitchen and dining room serves residents 3 meals a day, every day of the year. For this event, our group will help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents in the dining room, wash dishes, and clean surfaces.
