**Walk description:** The hike starts at Einsiedeln train station at 8:45. We will then walk to Seewen. We must reach it before 4 p.m, if we want to get to the Fastnacht Umzug on time. If the path is too snowy, we will take a parallel path not so high. You need to be fit and have good hiking shoes [von Schwyz nach Einsiedeln | Wanderung | Komoot](https://www.komoot.com/de-de/tour/2778503480?share_token=aOALazfx9rv2OlAqTQNFzTUg6FaO6cwbh8QsKfhc1lvMAPnq7u&ref=wtd) **Fastnacht:** Here you have the Programm.

(Because message in a WhatsApp channel can be read by a new member only 30 days before he joins.

Please sign up only when you are certain! You can also register through Meetup, as it helps build momentum; however, I rely only on the number of people who signed up through the WhatsApp survey.

Let's gather for our monthly **spiritual brunch**. This time is very special since Lutz Shankara will come and explain more about palm leaf readings.

I’m truly looking forward to gathering with all of you. With love and light.

**A sacred space to honor sorrow, release pain, and remember love** At Yanantin Tribe, we open grief circles where heart, body, and spirit can meet. Inspired by ancestral traditions, we gather in community to carry what was never meant to be held alone. Here, darkness and light are both welcome — grief is not fixed or rushed, but witnessed with care. A grief ritual is a communal gathering where sorrow is given space and form. We welcome all expressions of grief: personal loss, heartbreak, ancestral wounds, collective pain, or a quiet heaviness without a clear name. Through music, song, rhythm, movement, silence, and guided ritual, grief softens and reveals the love beneath it. **Bring: comfortable clothes, water bottle and your own cup for tea, curiosity** This is a free community offering. If you feel called to support the continuation of these grief circles, you can choose the **Support Ticket — CHF 25** via Eventfrog. Thank you for supporting this work. **The experience** * Enter a safe, held circle where all emotions are welcome * You may share, move, cry, sing, or remain silent — no pressure to speak * Place a personal item, photo, or symbol on a shared altar (optional) * Move through ritual practices that allow grief to be witnessed and released * Close with grounding and gentle integration so you leave supported **Why this circle matters** * Release unspoken or long-held grief * Be held without advice or fixing * Honor both sorrow and love * Heal personal, ancestral, and collective layers Tickets & Support This grief circle is offered freely as a community space. If you wish to support the continuation of these circles, you can choose the Support Ticket — CHF 25 via Eventfrog. 🎟️ Tickets & details: [https://eventfrog.ch/en/p/health-spirituality/health-wellbeing/grief-circle-remembering-love-from-darkness-to-light-7417591177283689154.html](https://eventfrog.ch/en/p/health-spirituality/health-wellbeing/grief-circle-remembering-love-from-darkness-to-light-7417591177283689154.html) **Practical info** * Held every two weeks on Sundays * Free to attend as a community offering * Donations welcome to support the continuation of these circles (entirely optional) * Bring: a token, photo, or personal item for the altar (optional) * Wear: comfortable clothing * Note: if you are in acute crisis or experiencing significant mental health challenges, please inform us so we can support you best * Impressions of past events: [https://yanantintribe.com/events-gallery/](https://yanantintribe.com/events-gallery/) **Additional support** András offers 1:1 grief support, death & dying accompaniment, and end-of-life presence alongside this community work: [https://psysoul.com/death-grief-sessions](https://psysoul.com/death-grief-sessions) This is not therapy. It is a facilitated ritual space rooted in consent, presence, and care. Come exactly as you are. You do not have to carry everything alone. **Personal Support & 1:1 Work with András** If you’re going through a period of transition, grief, burnout, relationship challenges, or feeling stuck, I offer **free 30-min Exploration Calls** to help you gain clarity and see if deeper 1:1 work is right for you. **Book here:** [https://calendly.com/andraskapros/psysoul-exploration-call](https://calendly.com/andraskapros/psysoul-exploration-call) Together, we remember love — and gently move from darkness to light.

**Friendship Day – Creative time with your favorite people,** **February 15th \| Duration: 2 hours** Valentine's Day is over – now we celebrate something just as important: friendship . On February 15th , we invite you to spend Friendship Day at PaintNow – creatively, relaxed, and together with people who make you feel good. Whether with your best friend, your group of friends, your favorite person, or even on your own: this day is all about connection, lightness, and shared experiences. For **two hours,** the studio is yours. No time pressure, no expectations, just plenty of space for creativity, conversation, and laughter.

Anything is allowed, nothing is mandatory. **No prior knowledge is necessary** – all materials are provided, and I will guide you step by step if you would like support. Friendship Day is intentionally designed to be relaxed. It's not about creating something perfect, but about having fun and being creative together. You can exchange ideas, develop new concepts, or simply work side-by-side and enjoy the moment. Soft music, a cozy atmosphere, and thoughtfully prepared materials will ensure you feel comfortable. **A special highlight:** As a small memento of your time together, each participant receives a **free manga portrait worth CHF 25.–** . Whether individually or together – the portrait is a personal keepsake of your Friendship Day and a small gift to yourselves or your friendship. **Important to know:** If you decide to do decoden , you can either carefully take it home or leave it with me and pick it up at a later time, once everything has fully hardened. **Tickets are available until February 14th.** Since places and materials are limited, I recommend booking early – especially if you're coming as a group. Friendship Day is an invitation to take time for each other, to be creative together, and to consciously celebrate friendship. Come along, spend two wonderful hours together, and take home not only your artwork but also a good feeling and a beautiful memory.

Is doing good really its own reward? To look around the world and see wrongdoing, injustice, and seemingly-gotten-away-with crime, people have often wondered whether or not it is "worth it" to do the right thing. These are not new questions--going back at least 3,000 years, human beings have wrestled with such questions, and the Psalmist, ca. 1,000 BC, sought such answers as well. He came to the conclusion that there was, indeed, an answer, and one that brought hope: God sees, God knows, and God will not allow evil to triumph, nor will He allow the wicked to escape justice. In addition to God's justice, He also promises mercy and blessing to those who humble themselves and follow Him. Psalm 1 and 2 address the underlying concerns of both of these questions--will wrong one day be righted, and is it worth it to do right, in spite of so much evil--with a resounding, "Yes, indeed!" Doing rightly is always good and *will* be blessed. Doing wrongly is always wrong, and those who think they have "gotten away with it" will one day understand the truth: God will not be mocked, and justice *will* prevail. Come join us, **6:30 pm, Tuesday, February 17, 2026, at True Food Kitchen, Easton Town Center**, and be encouraged by ancient truth that is still vitally essential today!
