Mäng - transformational game
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 **Uninstallation** – Let go of outdated patterns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

Handlung:
Der 70-jährige Ben Whittaker (Robert De Niro) bemüht sich intensiv darum - ohne seine verstorbene geliebte und vertraute Lebensgefährtin -, seinen Ruhestand mit den üblichen Altersaktivitäten auszufüllen und dabei beglückt zu werden: Reisen, Joggen, Joga, Sprachenlernen, an Beerdigungen teilnehmen, Enkel hüten, denen er zu viel ist, usw. Das gelingt ihm nicht und er fühlt sich leer ohne seine Frau, die das Leben trotz schwerem Leben leicht genommen hat. Er erfreut sich nämlich daran, ein Mitspieler zu sein, dazuzugehören, gebraucht zu sein und das Leben so mitzugestalten, dass alle aufeinander bezogen leben können.
Er meldet sich als Senior-Praktikant für eine Resozialisierung bei einer erfolgreichen Mode-Website mit lauter jungen Menschen. Als alter Mann erscheint es so, dass er ein Hindernis bei der Firma und deren Gründerin und Chefin Jules Ostin (Anne Hathaway) darstellt. Anfangs als altbackener Mensch mit Anzug und Krawatte sowie Unkenntnis von Computerprogrammen belächelt, der nicht zu der neuen Welt passt, bringt er sich nach und nach feinsinnig und sehr konstruktiv in das Betriebsgeschehen ein.
Er ist erfasst schnell die Gefühlslage der Einzelnen, beobachtet genau und mit Sympathie, nähert sich behutsam an und hilft praktisch, ausgleichend und ohne moralische Beurteilung. Er ist sich nicht zu schade für irgendeine sogenannt untere Arbeit, sondern packt zu, wo er andere erfreuen kann, ohne sie ins Defizit zu bringen. Seine warmherzige und umsichtige Herangehensweise ermöglicht es allen, sich entwickeln zu können und sich mit ihren Schwachpunkte nicht gedemütigt zu fühlen.
So berät er einen jüngeren Mit-Praktikanten, wie er eine kleine Wohnung finden könnte, was nicht erfolgreich ist. Daraufhin lädt er ihn - ganz fürsorglich - als Mitbewohner zu sich ein.
Er legt einem Mitarbeiter unaufdringlich nahe, mit einer Freundin direkt zu sprechen anstatt ein sms zu schreiben, um dessen Fehltritt wieder einzurenken.
Er verhilft - zuvorkommend und achtsam - der überforderten Sekretärin dazu, sich helfen zu lassen, ohne sich entwertet zu fühlen.
Er begleitet die mutige Chefin der Firma, Jules, in allen Lebenslagen, stützt sie vorausschauend in ihren grossen Fähigkeiten, die Wünsche der Kunden entgegenzunehmen, und hält sie taktvoll davon ab, einen Geschäftsleiter einzustellen, indem er ihre Selbstsicherheit stärkt und ihre Selbstzweifel sachte ausräumt, insbesondere dadurch, dass er besonnen jede kritische Äusserung in ein aufbauendes Entgegenkommen umbaut. Sie fühlt sich von seiner warmherzigen und ausgeglichenen Art erfasst und bringt ihm immer mehr Vertrauen entgegen und bereichert sein Leben durch ihre zupackende Art und ihre Wertschätzung seines achtsamen Umgangs. Sie konnte so auch ihr Kindheitsgefühl überwinden, dass sie mit ihrer Art nur aneckt und nicht genügt.
Im Film zeigt sich, dass eine erfolgreiche Frau mit Familie nicht beweisen muss, dass sie gut genug ist und deshalb die immensen Anforderungen alleine bewältigen muss. Er steht ihr so ausdauernd und vorausschauend in kleinen Dingen zur Seite und ermöglicht ihr, dass sie sich entspannen kann und nicht überfordert sein muss angesichts dieser vertrauensvollen, unaufgeregten und umsichtigen Rückenstärkung. Die freundschaftliche gegenseitige Zuneigung entsteht nach und nach und macht das Leben für beide und für die ganze Firma immer frohgemuter.
Es zeigt sich wie so oft in unserer Kultur, dass sich Jules Mann als Hausmann und ehemals besser verdienend, der seine Arbeit aus Liebe zu ihr zugunsten von ihrer Selbständigkeit aufgegeben hat - ganz unbewusst - unwert fühlt und sein Kleinheitsgefühl mit einer anderen Frau zu überwinden versucht. Es gelingt ihnen jedoch, ihre Zugehörigkeit zueinander wieder aufleben zu lassen. Sie bringt zum Ausdruck, wie viel ihr eine innige Verbindung bedeutet und ihr Mann erkennt, dass ihn ein Schwächegefühl und vielleicht auch Eifersucht von seiner Frau weggetrieben hatte.
Im Film zeigt sich in allen Beziehungen, wie wir Menschen generell Freude am Leben entwickeln können, wenn wir füreinander empfinden können. Verständnis und freundschaftliche Gefühle kommen dann auf, wenn wir uns erfasst fühlen und gleichwertig füreinander wichtig sind. Das gilt für das Alter, den beruflichen Alltag genauso wie in Partnerschaften und in der Beziehung von Frau und Mann.
Wenn sich innere Anspannung lösen kann
Viele Menschen kennen diesen Zustand:
Eine innere Anspannung, die immer wieder da ist.
Man funktioniert, denkt nach, hält durch.
Und trotzdem bleibt im Hintergrund ein Druck.
Oft versucht man, das zu verstehen,
zu analysieren
oder irgendwie in den Griff zu bekommen.
In dieser Samstagsgruppe geht es nicht darum,
noch mehr zu erklären
oder sich weiter anzustrengen.
Wir arbeiten auf einer Ebene,
die dem Denken vorausgeht.
Dort, wo innere Anspannung entsteht –
und wo sie sich auch wieder verändern kann.
Was dabei geschieht,
lässt sich schwer in Worte fassen.
Aber es lässt sich erfahren.
Oft leise.
Oft überraschend deutlich entlastend.

Nichts erzählen.
Nichts leisten.
Du darfst einfach da sein
und schauen, was sich zeigt.

COLD WATER PLUNGE
Welcome cold lovers! We have been practising cold water plunges for over 4 years. We believe in the benefits of cold water exposure. The feeling you get after the swim is magnificent, it makes you feel alive.
We have started this group to safely experience the cold water together. We motivate each other, do active warmup exercises, and also share our life stories with a warm coffee/tea afterwards.
The event is every Sunday at 11:30, we meet at the Mythenquai Badi entrance no matter the weather.
Take along: a large towel, comfortable bathing suit, flip-flops, and warm clothes (hat, gloves, etc). If you’re planning swimming out take along a bright swim buoy.
The event is Free.
IMPORTANT:
Every participant takes responsibility for themselves when attending this event.
Before attempting cold water exposure, individuals with health conditions (e.g., heart problems or hypertension) should seek advice from a healthcare professional. Safely acclimating the body to cold temperatures requires preparation and gradual exposure.

Zurich Kundalini Yoga/Meditation (Donation Basis)
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 from India. He is practising kundalini yoga for the 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 !**

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.
Free In-person Meeting: Unwanted Emotions & Loneliness, How to Get Over Them
This is an in-person meeting.
Did you know that unwanted emotions like loneliness, sadness, hopelessness, anger, fear, anxiety, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not chemical imbalance in your brain due to some nebulous chemical reactions by chance.
Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you.
The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life.
For instance, let's say you are already carrying a huge load on your back, then you cannot take on much more, but, let's say something else happens to you, such as the difficulties from the Pandemic, then the resultant combined weight on you can take you over the edge, kind of like the straw that break the camel's back. When this happens, people's attention usually goes to the straw that was added, but actually the majority of the weight had come from the huge load that were already there, holding a person down and causing a person issues.
So how do you remove the huge load that was already there? How do you lighten them up? Is it possible to get rid of them?
That is what this meeting will be all about.
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.
Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there.
This group is created by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

Macro Training 101 (Hands-On Lab)
As a follow-up to our macro class and to get ready for our May and June Field Shoots, we are going to have a macro training
"class." I will attempt to work through a number of macro shoots with the group. Those with cameras can try to shoot the same subjects I am shooting. We will start with some small objects and work our way down to smaller and smaller ones. As we photograph each subject, we will consider depth of field, focal plane management, subject composition, background, and lighting.
I have no idea how many subjects we will get through, but we will give it our best shot (pun intended!).
Bring your camera, whatever macro gear you might have, a tripod if you have one, whatever lighting you may have, etc. This will really be an exercise in seeing what you have, me showing you some ways to approach the subjects, and seeing what works!
I am going to add an extra hour to this meeting!
CYA There!!!!!
Meeting Schedule:
1. 6:00 - Introduction, Meet New Members
2. 6:10 - Old Business
3. 6:20 - New Business
4. 6:30 - Starting Shooting Small Stuff

In person peer-led support group for survivors of complex trauma
**Complex Trauma Support Group**
Our group is intended for survivors of complex trauma. If you are here, it’s likely that so much of who you are and what you have experienced in this life is actually invisible to most people––to family, society, coworkers, and the people who are around you.
We are a peer-led group of survivors creating opportunities for ourselves and others to share our experiences, share support, and build relationships in kind community together. Survivor experiences might include: child sexual abuse, incest, child trafficking, and other experiences of people living with traumatic dissociation and complex PTSD.
**What to expect at your first meeting:**
Currently, we are offering a bi-monthly in person group at 2:00pm on the first and third Sunday of the month. The only criterion for joining the group is that you are a survivor of trauma wishing to have more kindness in your own life and share kindness with others, and that you agree to practice to group’s relational agreements available for view here: https://www.kindgroups.com/agreements. Joining the group is free of charge.
We ask that new people connect with us for 30 minutes on the phone or on zoom before coming to their first group, so that we can determine together that we are a good fit.
Our meetings last approximately 90 minutes. Participants are never required to share. You’re also welcome to choose a pseudonym and you will never be asked for private information. You are welcome to leave at any time.
The kindness that survivors can share when among others who have survived similar childhood experiences is something we rarely get to experience. Time spent with others who understand even a little bit more about us is a relief. Our hope is to help ourselves and others experience that we are not alone. We wish for our efforts to be a cause of kindness in our own lives and the lives of each other.
You can read more about the groups at www.kindgroups.com.
