🔄 The Concept: Rotating "Speed-Friending"
We aren’t just walking in a big group—we’re making sure you actually meet people.
* **The Rotation:** We’ll be switching partners periodically throughout the walk so you can have meaningful, one-on-one conversations with a variety of people.
* **Spot a Local:** Our Swiss participants will be wearing a **Swiss Flag sticker**, making it easy to identify who can give you those "insider" tips about life in Switzerland :D
👋 Coming alone? That’s the point!
We’ll match you with partners who share your vibe using the **Social Circle app**.
📲 **Stay in the loop:** Join our WhatsApp group for the live meeting location and real-time updates: [Join WhatsApp Group](https://link.social-circle.ch/IauU)
🕒 Timeline
* **13:30** – Meet under the **big clock at Zurich HB**.
* **13:54** – Take tram line 11 (toward Auzelg) to Bucheggplatz.
* **14:10** – **Icebreakers & Flag Distribution**: Grab your sticker and meet the group!
* **14:20** – The Forest Walk begins! Enjoy guided one-on-one matchups and rotations.
* **16:00** – Head back to the city for a perfect Sunday finish.
🎒 What to Bring
* **Smartphone:** Essential for the partner-matching app!
* **Comfy Shoes:** We’ll be on forest trails.
* **Snacks & Water:** To keep the conversation energy high.
**Disclaimer** Participation requires a valid ticket purchased in advance; no cash payments on-site. Tickets are non-refundable.

Handstand Training (Open Level)
Sundays, 2pm-3pm.
Trial class: CHF 20
Drop-in: CHF 35
Book here: www.balancewithale.com/zurich/handstand
"I'll never be able to handstand".
You kick at the wall but see no progress.
Your wrists hurt.
You don't know how to improve...
It doesn't have to be this way.
Progress doesn't come from trying harder — it comes from practicing smarter. Handstands are a skill, and when you train them as such, they begin to click in a way that feels almost magical.
This class builds the foundations (strength, alignment and technique) that make handstands feel achievable and fun. Through clear progressions and personalized drills, you'll discover how capable your body truly is, and how handstands start to feel within reach when you train with intention and support.
Because drills are tailored to you, the class welcomes all levels — from "I've never kicked up before" to confident freestanding balancers who want to develop greater control.

**Q: Is the show in English?**
A: YES. The Show is always in English.
**Q: What happens if it rains?**
A: In case of rain we do have a tent to hide underneath. But the event might be cancelled if the weather is too bad.
**Q: What's the difference of a Comedy Open Mic from a regular Comedy Show?**
A: Anybody who wants can go on stage at a Comedy Open Mic. A bunch of Comedians will be there, but they will be trying out jokes, because this is how Comedians find out if something is funny or not, so you get to be there at the birthplace of jokes. Often Comedy Open Mics are more casual & but also funny as well!
**Q: Can I perform Comedy also?**
A: Yes of course! Just contact [theamericanstandupshow@gmail.com](mailto:theamericanstandupshow@gmail.com) if you're interested in performing. Or directly go to the event page on facebook & write "SPOT" inside the event discussion. You'll be confirmed later & will get 5minutes to start off with. Anybody can sign up!
**Q: What about these seats?**
A : We have enough seats for everyone but the first come first served rule applies! Especially since Open Air Comedy @Micasgarten is very popular, often it is packed, so come early for good seats. What's early? Anything around 18:00 & you will have your seat of choice.
**Q: Will it be funny?**
A : You betcha. You can't do a regular show since 2018 & not be funny.
**Any other questions:**
Email: [theamericanstandupshow@gmail.com](mailto:theamericanstandupshow@gmail.com) with the title "Open Air Comedy @Micasgarten"
But if it's any of the questions covered by the FAQ above, I will still answer it, *but first I will insult you.*

🌮🍎🥑 ZÜRICH - Eat Positive POTLUCK!!! 🌮🍎🥑
Dear friends, food lovers, and EatPositive Switzerland family,
We are back with the next potluck on June 7th in the same location as last time :)

**Program Overview:**
16:30 \| Arrival & Set\-up of dishes
17:00 \| Buffet Feast where we enjoy everyone’s homemade creations
19:30 \| Cleanup together

Uetliberg Design Networking Hike
**A creative walk & talk for designers and creatives**
Join us for a half-day walk and talk along the scenic Uetliberg ridge, designed to connect outside the usual networking format.
No presentations. No panels. Just great people, ideas, and a shared path.
We start at Triemli Station and hike up through the forest to Uto Staffel (about 1.5 hours), guided by [Mario Stipetic](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mariostipetic/). From there, we continue into a relaxed 1 to 1.5 hour ridge walk along the Planetenweg with views over Zürich, the lake, and the Alps.
Conversations unfold naturally along the way. We move in small groups, rotate, and share thoughts on current projects, creative challenges, and topics like AI in design, or whatever emerges in the moment.
We end at Gut Mädikon Hofcafé, a hidden farm café, where we spend about one hour enjoying coffee, homemade cake, and relaxed conversation.
This is networking without the pressure. Just movement, fresh air, and meaningful exchange.
See you there! 😇
**WhatsApp Group (Coordination)**
We’ll send the WhatsApp invite after you RSVP.
You can also join via Discord below.
——
**The Easy Route**
Prefer to skip the steep climb? Take the S10 train from Zürich HB to Uetliberg (about 20 minutes), then walk down to Uto Staffel and meet us there around 11:00 AM. Timing will be coordinated via the group on the day.
**Getting Back**
We walk back along the ridge to Uetliberg, either retracing the Planetenweg or taking the path near the Uetliberg tower. From there, walk down to Triemli station and catch the train home.
**Physical Fitness**
The initial climb takes about 1.5 hours and is steep, requiring a reasonable level of fitness. If you are unsure, take the easy route. The views are the same, and the Hofcafé cake tastes just as good.
**RSVP**
If your plans change and you can no longer attend, please update your RSVP so we can adjust the reservation at the Hofcafé.
