Runic Readings
Sessions of **individual runic readings** are available for beginners all along summer, both online (75 CHF) and offline in Zurich (100 CHF).
These sessions are **NOT** esoteric or divinatory. We're approaching runes as **a symbolic system of archetypes** to examine any situation or question that is currently relevant to you.
*If you feel stuck in a situation and cannot see a way forward, are facing a difficult decision, navigating a period of uncertainty, or trying to understand a recurring pattern in your life, a runic reading may offer a different perspective.*
**You will receive:**
• a clearer and systemic understanding of what is actually happening;
• insight into hidden influences affecting the situation;
• a better understanding of why certain difficulties keep repeating;
• greater clarity around available options and their likely consequences;
• practical ideas for what to do next.

Swimming in the Limmat
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.

See you there!

Sweden Beer Tasting @ IC der Laden
**\*To secure your spot, please [book here](https://www.swissbeertours.com/service-page/sweden-beer-tasting-ic?referral=service_list_widget).\***
The Swedish west coast, one sip at a time.
This tasting is dedicated to one of the most amazing beer scenes in the world!
Join us at IC Der Laden in Zurich on Friday, June 26, at 6:00 PM for a guided tasting featuring beers from the rugged west coast of Sweden, where the sea isn't just part of the landscape - it's part of the brewing philosophy.
During a recent trip to visit friends in Sweden, we spent time exploring the beautiful Bohuslän coastline and brought back some very special beers to share.
Guided by Sandro Wirth - Biersommelier, Certified Cicerone® and World Beer Cup judge - you will taste a carefully curated lineup featuring:
🍺 5 beers from Smögenbryggarn
Located just one town away from where we stayed, Smögenbryggarn is famous for brewing beers inspired by the sea. Expect ingredients and inspirations such as sea salt, seaweed, and mussel shells - showcasing the unique flavours of Sweden's west coast. Please be aware that these beers do contain actual mussel shells, so if you are allergic, we would suggest you join us for another tasting.
🍾 1 exclusive lambic blend by Mats
The entire reason for our trip to Sweden was to visit our friend Mats. For this tasting, he will contribute one of his own personal lambic blends - a beer you simply cannot buy and are unlikely to taste anywhere else. You might know Mats from the amazing beers he brewed at Lost Grain, or from serving beers in many great beer bars around Zurich.
🍫 Bonus Omnipollo pours
To finish the evening, we'll open a few exclusive small pours of Omnipollo stouts from our personal cellar.
Expect coastal brewing traditions, unique ingredients, wild fermentation and plenty of stories from our travels through Sweden.
**6 beers. 2 hours. Maximum 6 participants.**

Mäng - transformational game
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

Task-Buddies ✅ & Brunch 🥐: Let's work and study together! 📖 💻 ✍️
Welcome to the **Task-Buddies** event of the **Zürich Productivity Circle**, where we bring together like-minded individuals to work on personal goals and share the experience of growth in a supportive community.
Maybe you are building a business or side hustle, studying for a course, learning a new (programming) language, figuring the tax system out, writing code, prose, or poetry, researching new stocks for your portfolio, tackling your German homework, or upskilling for your job. In all of these cases and more, this is the perfect space for you.
In fact, productivity does not end there. Even if you just want to read a psychology book to resolve a personal struggle, sketch a mountain, listen to podcasts, organize your week, respond to unanswered emails and messages, enjoy a novel, or just reflect and meditate, you are very welcome here.
For any task that adds positively to your life and can be done sitting down with others (exception: anything noisy/disruptive/disrespectful), you will fit into the events.
We will meet at a work-friendly café in Zürich and follow the agenda below.
**Agenda:**
* **Introductions and food (20-30 mins):** Start with a round of introductions to get to know each other and share what we'll be working on, buy our food and drinks.
* **Productive Work Session (1-2 hours)** Dive into your individual tasks in a focussed, distraction-free environment.
* **Collective Break and Socializing (\~15 mins):** Take a planned break to stretch, chat, get more coffee, and share insights about your projects.
* **Continued Work Session (1-2 hours):** Get back to your tasks with renewed focus and motivation.
* **Wrap-Up and Reflections (15+ mins):** Conclude with a reflection on what we accomplished, share productivity tips or questions, discuss plans for future meetups, stay back for more chit chat if you like.
**What to Bring:**
* Your project or task materials (laptop, charger, books, sketchpad, pen, etc.)
* Respectful and kind demeanour
* A positive attitude and a willingness to share and learn
**Note:** Please ensure that your tasks are suitable for a quiet, communal setting. We aim to maintain a respectful and conducive environment for everyone. **Venue Courtesy:** Out of courtesy for the venue, please order something drinks for yourself. This helps support the café and ensures we can continue to use their space for our meetups.
Unlock Your Core Patterns – The Wisdom of Numbers, Cycles & Rhythms
**Unlock Your Core Patterns**
*The Wisdom of Numbers, Cycles & Rhythms*
Have you ever wondered why certain themes keep repeating in your life?
Maybe you keep attracting similar relationships.
Maybe you're feeling stuck or disconnected.
Maybe you're navigating a transition and don't know what this season is asking of you.
What if these experiences aren't random?
What if they are invitations to understand yourself more deeply?
***
This workshop is an opportunity to slow down, reflect and reconnect with yourself through the lens of patterns, cycles and rhythms.
We believe that life is seasonal.
Nature moves in cycles. So do we.
Sometimes we suffer because we try to force a season we are no longer in. Sometimes we judge ourselves for not being where we think we "should" be.
**You are not broken.**
**You may simply be out of harmony with your current season.**
✨ During this immersive experience, we will explore:
• Why certain patterns keep repeating in our lives
• How our lives move through different seasons and cycles
• Practical ways to understand where you are right now
• The Bus Metaphor: understanding the different parts of yourself and learning which qualities this season is inviting forward
• Breathwork, meditation and embodiment practices that transform insight into lived experience
• Reflection exercises and meaningful conversations
• How to move through life with greater awareness, trust and self-compassion
***
**This workshop is not about predicting your future.**
**Numerology is simply a symbolic language and reflective lens that helps us explore our patterns, strengths, challenges and opportunities.**
**The purpose is awareness, not prediction.**
🌱 You will leave with:
✓ Greater self-awareness
✓ A deeper understanding of your current season of life
✓ Practical tools for navigating change
✓ A renewed connection with yourself
✓ Greater trust in your own rhythm
✓ Meaningful connection with like-minded people
***
**This experience is intentionally intimate and limited in size to create a safe and supportive space for reflection, sharing and genuine human connection.**
✨ Ready to join us?
If this invitation resonates with you, we'd love to welcome you.
Because this is an intimate workshop with limited places, registration takes place via Eventbrite.
🎟️ Reserve your spot here:
[https://www.eventbrite.ch/e/unlock-your-core-patterns-tickets-1991873050915](https://www.eventbrite.ch/e/unlock-your-core-patterns-tickets-1991873050915)
Sometimes the patterns we keep encountering are simply invitations to pause, reconnect and discover what this season of life is asking of us.
☕ Tea, coffee and light refreshments will be available throughout the workshop and there will be plenty of opportunities for meaningful conversations and connection.

Walk & Talk About Life's Big Questions
[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations.
If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!).
**HOW IT WORKS**
**Step 1: Bring a topic**
Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event.
**Step 2: Circle up & share**
We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds.
**Step 3: Walk, talk & float**
We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!"
**Step 4: Feel more alive**
Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times.
*For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)*
**HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC**
A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about.
Recent topics include:
* "What are you passionate about right now?"
* "What makes a good friend?"
* "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?"
* "How do you want to be remembered?"
* "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?"
Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter.
**WHAT TO EXPECT**
This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.*
But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here.
**FAQ**
* Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk!
* We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space.
* We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space.
* Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know.
* Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic!
**LOGISTICS**
* If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event.
* This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs.
* Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details.
* If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋
**IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...**
[The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up.
* This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries. If the walks feel like a spark... The Board is the fire. Apply [here](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board).

Shut Up & Write!™ Easton Town Center
We'll meet at The Capital One Café, 167 Easton Town Center, Space A-103. This is in the main mall where the Microsoft store used to be, on your left if you're standing at the bottom of the AMC Theater escalator.
Join us on Saturday for an hour of uninterrupted wordmaking!
• What we'll do
Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 10AM on Saturday mornings.
Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done.
SCHEDULE:
10:00 - SESSION 1: quick intros.
10:10 - timer starts: write for 1 hour.
11:10 - chat / take off / keep writing.
OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 11A-11:30ish. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing.
BEING LATE IS OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check-in with me after the session. (I’ll be the person with the Shut Up & Write! sign.) If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer.
Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you!
• What to bring
Whatever you need to be able to write!
Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block noise or the occasional conversation by other patrons. Electrical outlets are limited, so charge your devices before whenever possible.
See you at The Café on Saturday!
Men's Group meetup
**The idea for this group is to build a community where men can gather together and build connections & learn and grow from each other.**
How we start each meeting is by each of us checking in with our "roses and thorns" aka what are the good things and the bad things going on in your life recently?
Then we will go into a topic discussion.
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
**COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS**
\*\*THERE WILL BE A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY FOR NO-SHOWS. IF YOU RSVP TO A MEETING AND FAIL TO SHOW UP WITHOUT NOTICE, YOU'LL BE REMOVED FROM THE GROUP. THIS IS TO PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY OF THE GROUP\*\*
1. Confidentiality - EVERYTHING that is shared NEVER leaves this space so that this space remains safe and sacred. There is a zero tolerance policy for this. If a man is in violation of this, they will be permanently removed from the group.
2. Non-Judgement - we respect and honor every man’s truth so that we may receive the same from others. While we may not agree on everything, we commit to respecting every man’s perspectives and engaging in honorable discussion with one another.
3. Be committed - honor your commitment to this group and to yourself. If you attend a meeting, please commit yourself fully to the meeting. Also be committed to your own journey. When we fail, we own it & clean it up.
4. Speak from the heart - this is NOT a space to “look good”, have the “right” answers, and have it all together. Relax and know you are not alone. Be exactly who you are within the safety of this space.
5. Be supportive - This means always willing to provide encouragement to your fellow men, encourage action and momentum in each other’s lives.. Be willing to challenge each other. Be willing to hold each other accountable.
6. Participation - what you receive from this community will be a reflection of what you put into it. Period. We ask that you share your perspectives, reflect on others, and give/receive support when and where it’s needed.
