Rest & Relaxation Circle: Gentle movement, Yoga Nidra & Sound Healing
**Deep Rest & Relaxation Circle – Yoga Nidra, Gentle Yoga & Sound Healing**
*(By donation – all are welcome)*
You’re warmly invited to a nourishing relaxation circle designed to help you slow down, soften, and reconnect with yourself. Together we’ll explore deep rest through gentle yoga, effortless Yoga Nidra meditation (practiced lying down), and soothing sound healing with Tibetan singing bowls — all held in a friendly, supportive circle.
This is a space to pause, breathe, and return to your heart, your inner calm, and your natural intuition.
**This practice can support:**
* Relief from stress, anxiety, and tension
* Deep relaxation and nervous system reset
* Better sleep
* Emotional balance and uplift
* Greater clarity, confidence, and creativity

### What to expect
**🌿 Gentle, Nourishing Yoga**
Slow, accessible movements to release tension, support energy flow, and reconnect with your body’s wisdom and vitality.

A zero-effort meditation practiced lying down. Yoga Nidra allows the body and mind to fully rest and restore, helping to calm the nervous system, release anxiety, improve sleep, and gently unwind exhaustion and overwhelm.
**🔔 Sound Healing**
Tibetan singing bowls guide you into deep presence and relaxation. The vibrations support the release of tension, stress, fatigue, and emotional holding, creating an optimal state for rest and self-healing.
Everything is provided — just bring comfortable clothes and an open heart.

If cost is a barrier, please contribute what you can — everyone is welcome.

Mindful Walk: Rote Fabrik - Eine Umgebung mit viel Kultur und Geschichte
**Achtung Datumswechsel auf den 5.4.!**
**Oster Edition / Easer Edition**
\-\- Deutsch \-\-\-
Für diesen Event der achtsamen Fotografie treffen wir uns bei der Roten Fabrik.
Die Rote Fabrik ist ein ehemaliger Industriekomplex aus rotem Backstein direkt am See, mit grossen Fenstern, Schornstein, Innenhof und spannenden Sichtachsen zwischen den Gebäuden – ideal für urbane Architektur‑ und Detailshots.
Graffitis, Poster, Patina und der Kontrast zwischen Wasser, Gleisen und Industriebauten bieten reichlich Motive.
Wir schlendern in aller Ruhe durch das Areal und suchen dabei bewusst nach Details und kleinen Dingen, die uns im Alltag oft entgehen.

For this mindful photography event, we will meet at **Rote Fabrik**.
Rote Fabrik is a former industrial complex made of red brick right by the lake, featuring large windows, a chimney, a courtyard, and interesting sightlines between the buildings — ideal for urban architecture and detail shots.
Graffiti, posters, patina, and the contrast between water, railway tracks, and industrial buildings provide plenty of photographic subjects.
We will slowly wander through the area and consciously look for details and small things that often escape our notice in everyday life.

Easter Hike from Trogen to Appenzell
Join us on the hike from Trogen to Appenzell! It's the second stage of the Alpine Panorama Trail that leads from Rorschach all across Switzerland to Geneva. For a precise description including pictures see https://schweizmobil.ch/en/hiking-in-switzerland/route-3/stage-2. The picture in the description shows Appenzell in winter 2021 (it's the only one I had from Appenzell). I don't expect any snow there at the moment. However, there might be some snow patches on the way.
MEETING:
Meeting point is in Zurich main station under the blue angel at 10 am. Be aware that I will join you in Winterthur. I'll meet you in the last coach of second class in direction of travel.
HIKE DATA (according to Swisstopo):
* Distance: 13.5 km
* Difference in altitude: 543 m up and 674 m down
* Estimated hiking time (without breaks): 4 hours
* Difficulty\*: T2
WHAT TO BRING:
* Lunch
* Hiking shoes
* Cash
* Valid ticket(s) for public transport
HOW TO GET THERE:
* Departure from Zurich main station: 10.08 am (track 6, IR 13 towards Sargans)
* Arrival in St. Gallen: 11.22 am
* Departure from St. Gallen: 11.26 am (track 12, S21 towards Trogen)
* Arrival in Trogen: 11.52 am
WAY BACK:
There is every half an hour a connection from Appenzell to Zurich. I expect us to be able to take the train leaving at 5 pm (arrival in Zurich main station at 6.52 pm). However, it would be nice to walk through the historic town of Appenzell and have an early dinner there.

Freestyle Night (Bring Wine)
**On Freestyle night** \- just bring a bottle to share\. There is NO formal wine tasting like on other weeks\. Door charge is $10 \(cash or Venmo only please\)\. We may have some left over wines to clear out\! Glasses are provided\. Take Care\. See you there\.
**Parking**: There are several public parking lots near the Alive614 hall. Please be careful to NOT park in private parking lots. They do tow. Check Google maps to scope out your space. Anyone who is early could easily find a parking space on the street nearby. I am told that the Chase parking lot is safe after hours.
**Glasses**: …will be provided. Please note that after the wine tasting, the EMPTY glasses need to be returned to the boxes at the service table. Please do not make me hunt down your empty glass. Please be gentle, our glasses are fragile. Uh, they are made of glass! (ps - empty the glasses into the sink, not the trash ... please)
**Food**: You are welcome to bring a snack to share. It is not required. Most people do though. If no one brings anything, there will be nothing.
**Code of Conduct**: Though mostly understood, it’s still worth mentioning. We don’t have rules per se, but we highly discourage the following topics of discussion because they are likely to incite anti-social responses - Sex, Politics, Religion. Please don’t mistake this as an attempt to limit your free speech rights but rather a guide to a place and time for appropriate discussions.
**After the lights go out**: After the last sip of wine, when we clean up and turn the lights out, if you still haven’t had enough of us, it is typical for a group to get together and go to a local eatery for food and/or drinks or coffee.
Again, We look forward to meeting new members and reuniting with old friends.

Hike Blacklick Woods and The Canopy. Optional lunch after.
Over time I'm hoping to organize a hike to all the Franklin County Metro Parks. This is the first one so if you're interested jump in!
We'll start with the Canopy Walk, a cool feature of this park. Climb 100 stairs to the top - or take the elevator if stairs aren't your thing. At the top there are a bunch of things to play on - a rope bridge, a fireman pole that we can slide down - and more! About fifteen minutes there and we'll head to the natural trail, Buttonbush, Maple and Beech Trail for 2.2 miles then do a 1.7 mile loop on the paved Greenway Trail. We'll be passing our cars as we transition if you only want to do the first loop, or the second loop. Pace of around 3.5 mph but no one left behind.
If there is an interest we can grab lunch nearby afterward.
Freestyle + Wilson's
**Join us at Alive614, then after at Wilson's for food & LIve Music with Hensley.** We'll shut the doors at wine club early at 8 pm so we can catch a full two hours of live music (no cover charge there) down the street at Wilson's Bar (https://wilsonshilliard.com/events/ ) until 10 pm. We did this a few months ago for "Smashburgers" and it seemed popular and worth doing again. Oh, and the smashburgers are pretty good there!
