Vegan

Dear friends, food lovers, and EatPositive Switzerland family, Spring is here and we are back with the next potluck in April :) This month’s gathering will be as always all about **food, connection, and community**. Plenty of time to share stories, inspire one another, and enjoy a cosy afternoon together. **Program Overview:** 12:00 \| Arrival 12:30 \| Buffet Feast where we enjoy everyone’s homemade creations 24:30 \| Cleanup together **What to Bring?** 🍽 Your own plate, cutlery & serving utensils 🌱 A vegan dish (for at least 4 people) or as much as you would eat 💚 Every event is unique and unrepeatable. The mix of people, food, and energy creates something wonderful. Very much looking forward, Debora & the EatPositive Team 💚

This weekend, Metal Night Vol. 8 at the Stadtchäller in Winterthur brings together three bands for an evening of hard rock and heavy metal in one of the region's most atmospheric underground venues. 🎶🖤 We will be going there together, not just to enjoy the music, but to support and cheer on our own **Alex**, who takes the stage twice that night, performing with both 13th Warbler and Shinra. Being the awesome artist and animal welfare champion that he is, he donates everything he earns from the event to animal welfare. He surely deserves an audience as cool as this group is. 😎✨ **More about the music:** **13th Warbler** is an operatic prog metal band from Zurich. Their music is a fascinating collision of heavy riffs, complex time signatures, and an 8-string guitar, all woven together with the soprano voice of their singer — theatrical, cerebral, and completely their own thing. https://13thwarbler.bandcamp.com/ **Shinra** is a Swiss modern metal band whose debut EP This Will Pass, released in 2025, explores themes of impermanence, consciousness, and the poetry of loss. https://shinra-metal.bandcamp.com/ **Upload**, hailing from Fribourg, is a relentless force in the heavy music scene, combining brutal intensity with haunting melodies. https://uploadofficialband.bandcamp.com/ **Tickets:** Tickets are available at the door for 25, or online for 20. It's recommended to buy online to guarantee your spot. https://eventfrog.ch/de/p/konzerte/hard-rock-heavy-metal/metal-night-stadtchaeller-in-concert-vol-8-7431815001181046120.html **The plan:** We meet at Zurich HB at 18.30 and take the train to Winterthur. Doors open at 19:30, so there's plenty of time to arrive and settle in before the first act takes the stage. Maybe you are a lifelong metalhead or have never set foot in a concert like this before. Regardless, this event is a chance to experience something new or familiar together, spend an evening with good people, and show up for someone in our community. 🌿🤘🖤

Together, they create an energy of transformative cleansing that pushes growth forward. It’s a day where emotional or internal storms bring clarity, helping you complete what has been in motion and emerge with renewed direction.

Suiza. Si, Suiza es diferente. Hay unas tiendecitas donde tomas tu producto directamente y dejas el dinero. Y funcionan! Suiza. Tiene mil caminos preciosos en la ciudad y en la naturaleza esperando a que los descubran. Suiza, ay!, me tiene enamorada! Cuando llegue de mi pais aqui hace más de 11 años, fue muy duro, si. El idioma... El suizo creo que lo entiendo un 30%... o bueno un 20% si hablan con muchas ggrgrgr. Pero con el aleman me defiendo. Y si no, en inglés. Y si no en español que muchas personas aqui ven novelas hispanas en la tele o han estado 2 meses en Buenos Aires o Madrid y te entienden perfectamente. Y si no por señas! Que al final te haces una experta en lenguaje corporal y no hace falta ni hablar! 😂 Bromas aparte, me habria gustado aprender mas rápido todo lo bueno que tiene este pais para ofrecer. Este plan es una pequeña muestra de ello. Una actividad guiada pensada para hacer nuevas amistades, disfrutar del entorno y pasar un buen rato juntas. 🐕 Para todos los publicos. Peques y perritos son muy bienvenidos! Una caminata suave de unos 6 km, de Stettbach a Zurich pasando por una granja local donde: 🥛Se puede comprar leche fresca (lleva botella), 🥚🥚🥚, 🧀 y más productos de granja. 🐄 Disfrutar de acariciar terneros y vacas 🐎 Ver caballos y muchas aves. Opcionalmente podemos hacer una pequeña pausa para tomar algo o improvisar picnic. Si te apetece, puedes traer un cuaderno de dibujo o hacer fotos — me encanta observar detalles de la naturaleza (sin necesidad de experiencia artística). Apuntate, no te lo pienses mas!! Unos dias antes segun el clima, confirmamos la salida ;) Un abrazo Margaam

[TICKETS FOR THIS EVENT ARE SOLD VIA EVERSPORTS](https://www.eversports.ch/org/activity/7ec13908-ac81-443d-bca6-3599aa4119cc) As spring arrives, nature awakens and our bodies often feel the same desire for lightness, renewal, and fresh energy. What if detox could be experienced with more gentleness, pleasure, and connection? I invite you to a participatory Ayurvedic brunch — a warm and relaxed gathering where we will cook a simple, nourishing, and easy-to-digest meal together. We will prepare a kitchari, one of the most beloved dishes in Ayurveda, along with a few simple sides that are easy to recreate at home. Throughout the morning, we will explore a softer and more balanced approach to detox: how to support the body’s natural cleansing processes without strict rules or extreme diets. Rather than restrictive cleanses, this experience is about finding balance while keeping the joy and comfort of food. **What to expect:** • cooking together in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere • comforting drinks (herbal infusions, tea, or coffee) with simple Ayurvedic tips to make them more digestible • a moment to set intentions before the meal • a short meditation to prepare the body and mind for eating • enjoying the brunch mindfully, tuning in to the body’s sensations • open conversation, questions, and shared experiences around detox and Ayurveda This brunch is an invitation to slow down, reconnect with your body, and discover a simple and enjoyable way to care for yourself.

**A Sacred Journey in Its Most Refined Expression** With great care and intention, we invite you to our signature gathering — **Mama Cacao Dance Ceremony** — a ceremonial experience that has become a quiet classic within our community. In 2026, this experience will unfold only twice. Two carefully curated evenings. Two intentional thresholds. This is not a series. It is a rare offering. We begin in reverence. The evening opens with a ceremonial serving of cacao from Peru — a gentle yet powerful plant medicine known for its ability to awaken the heart and deepen presence. Guided with clarity and devotion, we enter a shared field of intention. From stillness, we move into embodiment. A meticulously crafted live ecstatic dance journey guides us through organic textures, ancestral echoes, and refined electronic soundscapes. The dance floor becomes a sanctuary — a space of liberated movement, personal truth, and collective resonance. As the energy settles, we transition into integration. Through the profound vibrational architecture of sound — including a live gong immersion — the nervous system recalibrates, the mind softens, and the experience integrates into coherence and stillness. This ceremony is an exploration of depth and elegance, where ancient ritual meets contemporary artistry, and where celebration becomes devotion. ## Event Highlights ✨ Cacao Ceremony with Jkson, featuring cacao sourced from Peru ✨ Curated Live Ecstatic Dance Journey led by Jkson, supported by Facu. ✨ Sound Healing & Gong Integration with **Martin Weishaupt** ✨ Intimate closing circle & conscious community connection ## Event Details 📍 Venue: Kraftwerk Zürich 📅 Dates: 5 April 2026 ⏰ Time: 17:30 – 20:30 (Doors open at 17:15) ⏳ Duration: 3 hours To preserve the integrity of the ceremonial container, we kindly ask you to arrive on time. Participation is intentionally limited to maintain intimacy and depth. ## What to Bring A water bottle A simple offering for the cacao (flowers, fruits, seeds, nuts, tobacco) Feel free to bring anything that will help you feel comfortable and warm during the sound healing session. ## Important Health Information Please fast lightly for at least two hours before the ceremony. If you are taking antidepressants, are pregnant, have heart conditions, high blood pressure, epilepsy, or any significant medical condition, please contact us prior to attending. ## Meet the Facilitators **Martin Weishaupt** creates spaces where people can slow down, reconnect, and rediscover their inner balance. Originally trained as an architect, his journey gradually shifted from designing outer spaces to exploring the inner landscape of the human being. Inspired by Zen practice, breathwork, and the transformative power of sound, Martin developed a minimalist approach based on one principle: less stimulation, more presence. In his **Gong Flow sessions**, he creates immersive sound fields — often using a single freely vibrating meteorite gong — allowing the mind to settle and the nervous system to gently recalibrate. The experience becomes a quiet invitation to pause, release tension, and reconnect with your own frequency. Martin’s intention is simple: to create a space where each person can rediscover their natural state of resonance — what he calls **Flow Your Vibes**. [www.flowyourvibes.ch](http://www.flowyourvibes.ch) **Jkson**, originally from Argentina, draws inspiration from the ancestral cultures of the Andes and the Peruvian Amazon. His musical journeys weave natural soundscapes, indigenous voices, and electronic elements into immersive ceremonial experiences.

It is finally happening. After the quiet of winter, months apart, and practices mostly online, we are finally coming back together in person. Join us for our **first gathering after the winter break**: a beautiful opportunity to pause, soften, and reconnect with yourself as we step into a new season. During this **90-minute Restorative Yoga & Sound Bath session**, we will slow down, release accumulated tension, and create space for renewal. Supported by bolsters and blankets, you will gently settle into calming restorative postures while the breath slows and the body unwinds. We will then move into a **deeply relaxing sound bath**, where the soothing vibrations of Tibetan bowls, chimes, and therapeutic instruments help regulate the nervous system, quiet the mind, and guide you into deep rest. This session is an invitation to step out of the rhythm of daily life and into a space of stillness. To reset your energy. To reconnect with yourself. And to begin this new season grounded and clear. *** ## **Why join?** • Calm and regulate your nervous system • Gently transition from winter into spring • Experience deep rest and inner clarity • Reconnect with our beautiful Yoga 360° community *** ## **Practical Details** 📅 **Date:** Sunday, April 12 ⏰ **Time:** 19:00 – 20:30 📍 **Location:** Yoga2Be Studio Rötelstrasse 32, 8006 Zürich 👕 **Bring:** Comfortable clothes (all props are provided) 🧘 **Level:** Open to everyone — no experience needed *** ## **Tickets** **LAST SPOT AVAILABLE!
