🌿 **Help Restore Native Nature in Zug – Remove Invasive Plants Together!** 🛠 **What to Expect** Join us for a hands-on community action to protect local biodiversity in **Zug**! We’ll be working together **to remove invasive and non-indigenous plants** that threaten the native ecosystem. These species spread aggressively and outcompete the plants that local wildlife depends on. This time, we will focus on removing the **Butterfly Bush (Buddleja**). Although it provides nectar for adult butterflies, it is not a host plant for most native caterpillars. When invasive plants replace native vegetation, butterfly diversity declines and disrupt local ecosystems. Before we begin, **Stadt Zug Werkhof** will give a short introduction about the environmental impact of invasive plants and why removing them matters. Come get your hands dirty, meet friendly like-minded people, and make **a visible impact in our local community.** Together, we can help native plants 🌿— and butterflies 🦋— thrive again! 🗓 **Date & Time** **Saturday, March 7, 2026** **9:00 AM – 1:00 PM (CET)** You’re welcome to join or leave at any time — every bit of help truly makes a difference! 📍 **Meeting Point** Please meet at **Oberwil B. Zug, Klinik Zugersee – Bus Stop** in Zug. 🚌 **Public Transport - Bus stop: Oberwil B. Zug, Klinik Zugersee** **Bus 603 (from Zug)** **Bus 611 (from Zug)** **Bus 605 (from Walchwil)** Please use public transportation, as there is very limited public parking available at the meeting point and to ensure a smooth and stress-free start to the event. We recommend arriving a few minutes early so we can start on time. 🌍 **Language** This event is in both **English** and **German**. 👕 **What to Wear & Bring** Clothing: * Weather-appropriate, sturdy outdoor clothing * Strong, ankle-high shoes (some areas are steep, and the forest ground can be muddy or wet) Please bring: * Water * A hot drink * Snacks 🥪 We will provide a sandwich if you are staying through lunch. 🛠 Tools for plant removal will be provided by **Stadt Zug Werkhof to clear a** defined area to clear (we finish once it’s done!) ⚠️ **Important Information** * This event is not suitable for children. * Insurance coverage is the responsibility of each participant. By registering for the event, **you are committing to attend**, as everyone’s participation matters. If something unexpected comes up, please let us know **by Thursday, 5 March**, so we can plan accordingly. 🌧 **Weather Policy** If we need to cancel due to weather conditions, we will notify all participants **by 17:00 on Thursday, 5 March**. In case of cancellation, the alternative date is **Saturday, 14 March**. \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* 🌿 **Heimische Natur in Zug stärken – Gemeinsam invasive Pflanzen entfernen!** 🛠 **Was erwartet** Mach mit bei einer tatkräftigen Gemeinschaftsaktion zum Schutz der lokalen Biodiversität in **Zug**! **Gemeinsam entfernen wir invasive und nicht-heimische Pflanzenarten**, die unser einheimisches Ökosystem bedrohen. Diese Arten breiten sich stark aus und verdrängen Pflanzen, auf die unsere heimische Tierwelt angewiesen ist. Dieses Mal konzentrieren wir uns auf die Entfernung des **Schmetterlingsflieders** (*Buddleja*). 🌿🦋 Zwar bietet er erwachsenen Schmetterlingen Nektar, dient jedoch den meisten einheimischen Raupen nicht als Wirtspflanze. Wenn invasive Arten die heimische Vegetation verdrängen, nimmt die Artenvielfalt der Schmetterlinge ab und lokale Ökosysteme werden gestört. Bevor wir starten, gibt der **Stadt Zug Werkhof** eine kurze Einführung über die Auswirkungen invasiver Pflanzen und warum deren Entfernung wichtig ist. Komm vorbei, werde aktiv, lerne engagierte und gleichgesinnte Menschen kennen und leiste einen sichtbaren Beitrag für unsere Gemeinschaft. Gemeinsam helfen wir heimischen Pflanzen 🌿 — und Schmetterlingen 🦋 — wieder zu gedeihen! 🗓 **Datum & Zeit** **Samstag, 7. März 2026** **09:00 – 13:00 Uhr (CET)** Du kannst jederzeit dazukommen oder früher gehen — jede Unterstützung zählt! 📍 **Treffpunkt** **Oberwil B.

This is an announcement to a public event hosted by [Zentralwäscherei](https://www.instagram.com/explore/locations/108133731078043/zentralwascherei/?e=08b9f262-7b74-471f-bae2-1825b178d7cc&g=5). The event is free entry so no tickets needed. As the 50th anniversary of Palestinian Land Day approaches on March 30th, we invite you to a film screening and input reflecting on land as the heart of the Palestinian struggle for liberation; its fragmentation, dispossession, and the Palestinian people’s steadfast resistance to ongoing Zionist settlement and land grab. Since October 2023, forced displacement has intensified across Gaza, the West Bank, and Jerusalem, alongside the ongoing brutal genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza. This event situates today’s Zionist aggression within a longer history of erasure, expulsion, and forced dispossession. **PROGRAM:** ✦ Ma’loul Celebrates its Destruction \(1984\) by Michel Khleifi \| 32 min ✦ Yom al\-Ard \(2019\) by Monica Maurer \| 15 min ✦ Masafer Yatta: Forced from Home \(2023\)\, by Médecins Sans Frontières \(MSF\) \| 11 min The film program will be followed by an input and Q&A with scientist and activist Nihad Ben Salah, who will share her experience of volunteering with the Masafer Yatta Solidarity Alliance (MYSA), and witnessing the escalation of settler violence in the southern hills of al-Khalil after the „ceasefire“ in October 2025. **Links:** Insta: [https://www.instagram.com/p/DVQ1ew4DMr4/?img_index=1](https://www.instagram.com/p/DVQ1ew4DMr4/?img_index=1)

Open Sharing Circle ✨ This circle will be held in English. We come together to be present and to show up as we truly are. The intention is to share in a safe and trusting space — thoughts, emotions, goals, opinions — whatever feels alive for you in the moment. No one has to share, and everyone is welcome to. ⸻ What is it about? • Strengthening self-awareness & self-trust • Personal growth • Building deep relationships & trust • Getting to know people on a genuine, human level • Feeling free to express yourself authentically ⸻ Circle Agreements Free & voluntary You are welcome to share anything you like — and you don’t have to share anything. Speak from your own experience Share from your personal perspective: your experiences, thoughts, feelings, and perceptions. The space holder may gently support this by placing a hand on their chest as a signal. Respect & confidentiality We meet each other with respect and without judgment. What is shared in the circle stays in the circle. Talking object Only the person holding the talking object speaks. Clarifying questions are welcome. Sharing time & space Take your time when sharing, and also leave space for others. Advice & support Speak for yourself and offer advice only with consent. Please ask explicitly if you would like to receive advice or support. Triggers & emotions Everyone is responsible for their own feelings and topics. Strong emotions (e.g., crying) are welcome and respected. Support is offered only if desired. Personal needs Please take care of your own needs (bathroom, food, etc.) and respect the group space. Space holders The organizing team selects space holders who support the flow of the circle and help maintain the agreements. The circle may be gently paused if needed. Focus round The space holder may intuitively initiate a short focus round if it feels supportive. Mobile phones Please keep your phone on silent and use it only for notes if needed. Time Duration: approx. 3 hours. You may leave at any time, ideally during the breaks (about every 45 minutes). After the circle, there is space to stay, connect, or continue sharing if you feel like it.

A space to return to what is essential We invite you to take part in a ritual gathering for men, created for those who feel the call to pause, breathe, and reconnect with their inner strength in a safe and authentic space. We gather in the forest, around the grandfather fire, to share ceremonial cacao and form a circle of presence, listening, and brotherhood. This is not a workshop, nor a talk, nor a “self-improvement” experience. It is a living space of encounter, where each man is welcome exactly as he is. There are no hierarchies here, no masks to wear. Only men walking their own path, supported by the strength of the circle. **Who is this gathering for?** * This circle is open to men who: * Seek a more honest connection with themselves. * Feel the desire to inhabit their masculinity with greater awareness and maturity. * Value silence, authentic speech, and presence. * Wish to experience brotherhood beyond competition or judgment. * Are willing to listen and to be listened to. * No previous experience with circles, rituals, or spiritual practices is required. Only a willingness to be present. **What we will experience together** During this gathering of approximately two hours, we will move through simple yet profound practices, guided with care and clarity: * Ceremonial Cacao Circle, Cacao as a heart medicine, supporting openness, listening, and authentic expression. * Sacred Fire, The grandfather fire as the center of the gathering, witness to our intentions and processes. * Meditation and Presence, Moments of silence and inner connection, held by the group. * Talking Circle, A safe space to share from truth, without advice or judgment. * Connection with Nature: The forest as a living temple that reminds us of what truly matters. * Expression and Rhythm: An optional moment of music, song, or percussion to integrate the experience. Each gathering honors the energy of conscious masculinity, integrating strength and sensitivity, direction and openness. **Practical information** Duration: Approximately 2 hours Location: Forests of Zurich (The exact location is shared after registration) Energy exchange: Single ticket: 30 CHF Brothers ticket (2 people): 50 CHF Places are limited to preserve the quality and intimacy of the circle. **What to bring** * A cup for ceremonial cacao * A water bottle * Wood for the fire * An offering for the altar (fruit, seeds, a photo, or something that represents love and gratitude) * Notebook and pen * Musical instrument (optional) * Comfortable, warm clothing for outdoor conditions * Something light to eat after the gathering * We recommend fasting for at least 2 hours beforehand, as we will be working with ceremonial cacao. * A held and conscious space * This gathering is held with respect, confidentiality, and presence. Everything shared in the circle remains within the circle. The use of alcohol or other substances before or during the gathering is not permitted. **Reserve your place** 👉 [https://www.mama-cacao.ch](https://www.mama-cacao.ch/) **Upon registration you will receive:** Please join our group, to kwon the location and ask any question you have Men’s WhatsApp Group [https://chat.whatsapp.com/IslQaOq9plTGv6fFNRTRE9](https://chat.whatsapp.com/IslQaOq9plTGv6fFNRTRE9) Mama Cacao Community WhatsApp Group [https://chat.whatsapp.com/CbTg7sUdnB35gLX6jILEGS](https://chat.whatsapp.com/CbTg7sUdnB35gLX6jILEGS) Telegram Channel [https://t.me/+5Bu537lvzWplZjNk](https://t.me/+5Bu537lvzWplZjNk) Newsletter [https://www.mama-cacao.ch/contact-7](https://www.mama-cacao.ch/contact-7) This space is supported by **Dharma Collective**, with hearts aligned in support of the **Chakana Project**.

Free at Bexley Library Adventures in Ecological Horticulture with Rebecca McMackin Wednesday, March 18 1:00pm - 2:30pm Gone are the days when a garden could be ornamental alone. We now recognize the impact that our land care practices have on the ecosystems around us, and can see the importance of encouraging biodiversity. Thankfully, we do not need to sacrifice beauty when we invite butterflies and songbirds into our gardens. Rebecca McMackin has cultivated gorgeous landscapes in the toughest environments possible: urban parks, school playgrounds, and the sidewalks of New York City. She will take lessons from her work at Brooklyn Bridge Park, the Brooklyn Museum, and decades of research to share how those of us who are fortunate enough to care for land, can do it beautifully and ecologically. Rebecca McMackin is an ecologically obsessed horticulturist and garden designer. She writes, lectures, and teaches on ecological landscape management and pollination ecology, as well as designs the rare public garden. She is currently Lead Horticulturist for the American Horticultural Society, an Associate with the Harvard Divinity School’s Thinking with Plants and Fungi Initiative, and Consulting Arboretum Curator for Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx, NY. Rebecca spent a decade as Director of Horticulture of Brooklyn Bridge Park, where she managed 85 acres of diverse parkland organically. Their research into cultivating urban biodiversity and ethical management strategies has influenced thousands of people and entire urban parks systems to adopt similar approaches. She has been published by and featured in the New York Times, Gardens Illustrated, on NPR and PBS. Her garden for the Brooklyn Museum recently won the PPA’s Award of Excellence and her TED Talk has been viewed over a million times. She holds M.Sc. from Columbia University and University of Victoria in landscape design and biology and recently completed the Loeb Fellowship at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. This program is presented in partnership with Rooted in Bexley and generously funded by the Bexley Community Foundation and Bexley Community Author Series Fund.

Most people would agree that a great night's sleep is one of the sweetest experiences in life. Crawling into a wonderfully comfortable bed, drifting off to peaceful slumber, and awaking, feeling refreshed, energized, and ready for the day is a gift everyone welcomes. Unfortunately, nights of perfect sleep and restfulness can seem scarce. Particularly, during the truly hard times in life, good sleep can seem an impossibility. The ancient shepherd-crowned-king, David, knew more than the average person about the challenge of getting a good night's sleep in the midst of being falsely maligned, hunted by enemies, and attacked by those who wanted him dead. He understood the terror of running for his life, and having thousands call for his death. What was his answer? Where could a man on the run find peace? What hope was there for a person in such circumstances? David's hope and peace were found in the One Who he knew was Perfect Truth, Justice, Mercy, and Grace, the God Who had delivered His people before and Who would do so again, and again, and again. Because of God's provision David twice details that even in the midst of his enemies, he would "lie down and sleep, and wake again." Psalm 3 and 4 point us to the hope in which those who follow after the Lord can be confident--that from the Lord comes deliverance. Join us at **6:30 pm, Tuesday, March 17, 2026, at True Food Kitchen, Easton Town Center**, and be encouraged from God's Word!

The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event. Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Our March speakers are Molly Gaines and Zack Parrish, co-organizers of the Secular Education Association: They will share their story of how a small group of Ohio parents grew into a national organization tracking released-time religious instruction and other church–state issues in public schools. The presentation will cover SEA’s early wins and hard lessons, what we’re seeing nationally right now, and how local advocates can play a meaningful role in protecting public education. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of the landscape — and practical ways to get involved. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online Join Zoom Meeting [https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1](https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1) Meeting ID: 878 3656 4953 Passcode: 760812 One tap mobile +19292056099,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (New York) +13017158592,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (Washington DC) The formal presentation will start at noon
