ZH3 Hash # 1730: The edjumacated hash
ZH3 Hash # 1730: The edjumacated hash
Hare (someone to set the route) is Stogie Gibberish co-hared by the fantastic Dr. NOB. I ain't a smart feller. But maybe if I spend some time around smart folk it'll rub off. So, we'll be runnin' around UZH in hopes that by the end of night I won't be dumb no more. Might work for ya'll too. Come join us! **Where**: UZH Irchel, Mobility, Parkhaus Irchel, Floor D, Winterthurerstrasse 190, 8057, Zürich. Look for English speakers wearing running gear. **When:** We'll meet at 6:50 pm to start at 7:00 pm. There's a charge of CHF 5 for participating, which covers all you can drink beer/cider (and non-alcoholic alternatives) plus snacks afterwards. **All Welcome:** If you are new, curious, and want to get out of the house, stretch your legs, talk shit, enjoy a drink, and hopefully a laugh, then here's what you need to know: • We are a social running/walking group, physical fitness is not required, but a sense of humour is useful. • The aim is to find the '*Beer Stop*' at the end of the '*trail*' and have fun. • 'True Trail' is typically 4-7 km. Some will go less (especially those walking or walk/running), and some over-achieving fast runners will go further. • The '*Hare*', which changes each event (along with location), cleverly lays the trail (typically with flour marks) so that everyone reaches the end at the same time. • There is always a place to deposit your bag and sometimes a place to change. • **After Trail**, we group for \~20-40 minutes for drinks, snacks, and some fun. This '*Circle*' is typically outside, so leave something warm in your bag in winter (and bring a flashlight when it's dark). If you don't want to stand around drinking afterwards, you can head home. We occasionally all go to a restaurant afterwards. **Why bother leaving your warm & dry sofa?** If you enjoy getting outside, being around people, and doing something a bit different, you will probably enjoy hashing. Exercise is important, and this is probably the least boring way to get it. 'Hashing' and the idea of some physical activity to work up a thirst, have been around for almost 90 years and there are groups (*Hashes*) in most major cities. Its humor and 'traditions' can be explored on the internet - **or you can just come along and find out.** *See you there.* We are of many nationalities, all ages, full of misfits and idiots (at least there is no one taking themselves seriously!) and always welcome newbies 'Virgin Hashers' and visitors from other groups.

Hello dear Challengers, if you wish to join the Limmat swim and strengthen your body, join me to that swim. I will give you a short introduction on the "why" you should do it and then you will tell me if you want to do it. I am a trained lifeguard (SLRG), I did also the Hypothermia Module and I am swimming in the cold since 2015. Take with you all the necessary to swim, flip/flop, safe buoy (something like the orange donut here below, if you have it) and a Thermos. https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/a/a/7/5/600_466843637.jpeg See you there!

Open Sharing Circle✨ (Deutsch)
Open Sharing Circle✨ (Deutsch)
Open Sharing Circle ✨ *** **Wichtig: Bitte sei pünktlich, damit der Austausch möglichst nicht gestört wird :)** Bei schönem Wetter☀️: Wir sind draussen bei der Blatterwiese. Bei kaltem, regnerischem Wetter 🌧️: Wir sind beim 25h hotel Zürich West. Bei der Reception geradeaus vorbei, hinter grauen Vorhängen. (Achtung nicht 25h hotel Langstrasse). ⚠️Der definitive Standort wird spätestens am Samtag um 1200 in der meetupgruppe sein.⚠️ _____________ Dieser Circle findet auf Deutsch statt. Wir kommen zusammen, um im Moment präsent zu sein und uns so zu zeigen, wie wir wirklich sind. Die Intention ist, in einem sicheren und vertrauensvollen Raum zu teilen — Gedanken, Emotionen, Ziele, Meinungen — alles, was sich für dich im Moment lebendig anfühlt. Niemand muss etwas teilen, und jede\*r ist willkommen. ⸻ Worum geht es? • Stärkung von Selbstwahrnehmung & Selbstvertrauen • Persönliches Wachstum • Aufbau tiefer Beziehungen & Vertrauen • Menschen auf einer echten, menschlichen Ebene kennenlernen • Sich frei fühlen, sich authentisch auszudrücken ⸻ Circle-Vereinbarungen Frei & freiwillig Du darfst alles teilen, was du möchtest — und musst nichts teilen. Sprich aus deiner eigenen Erfahrung Teile aus deiner persönlichen Perspektive: deine Erfahrungen, Gedanken, Gefühle und Wahrnehmungen. Der Raumhalter kann dich dabei sanft unterstützen, indem er als Zeichen eine Hand auf die Brust legt. Respekt & Vertraulichkeit Wir begegnen uns respektvoll und ohne zu urteilen. Was im Circle geteilt wird, bleibt im Circle. Rede-Objekt Nur die Person, die das Rede-Objekt hält, spricht. Verständnisfragen sind willkommen. Redezeit & Raum teilen Nimm dir Zeit beim Teilen und lass gleichzeitig Raum für andere. Ratschläge & Unterstützung Sprich für dich selbst und gib Ratschläge nur mit Einverständnis. Bitte frage ausdrücklich nach, wenn du Ratschläge oder Unterstützung möchtest. Trigger & Emotionen Jede\*r ist für die eigenen Gefühle und Themen selbst verantwortlich. Starke Emotionen (z. B. Weinen) sind willkommen und werden respektiert. Unterstützung wird nur angeboten, wenn sie gewünscht ist. Eigene Bedürfnisse Kümmere dich selbst um deine Bedürfnisse (WC, Essen usw.) und respektiere den Gruppenraum. Raumhalter Das Organisationsteam wählt Raumhalter, die den Ablauf des Circles unterstützen und darauf achten, dass die Vereinbarungen eingehalten werden. Der Circle kann bei Bedarf sanft unterbrochen werden. Fokusrunde Der Raumhalter kann intuitiv eine kurze Fokusrunde initiieren, wenn es unterstützend wirkt. Mobiltelefone Bitte schalte dein Handy auf lautlos und nutze es nur für Notizen, falls nötig. Zeit Dauer: ca. 3 Stunden. Du kannst jederzeit gehen, idealerweise während der Pausen (etwa alle 45 Minuten). Nach dem Circle gibt es Raum, um zu bleiben, sich zu verbinden oder weiter zu teilen, wenn du magst.

Feel Good Friday: POWER BALLAD  at the Gateway Film Center + SHAKE NO. 8!
Feel Good Friday: POWER BALLAD at the Gateway Film Center + SHAKE NO. 8!
Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor. BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it “a sure-fired crowd-pleaser” that “just might be the feel-good hit of the year!” Others say, “Paul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmer” that’s both “hilarious and deeply moving." The film continues John Carney’s “long run of success with yet another charmer” and “a sharp, hopeful crowd-pleaser that strikes the right notes!” SUMMER OF ICE CREAM, VOL 2: SHAKE NO. 8! Ranked the #1 Ice Cream Shop in Columbus, this is a perfect early stop on our Summer of Ice Cream! Their menu uses made-from-scratch recipes in an array of traditional, specialty and vegan shakes, hot cocoa, crepes, waffle sticks, specialty coffee & espresso, and more! Their specialty shakes are as delicious as they are over-the-top and they offer an extensive vegan menu! You can check out their full menu here: [https://www.shakeno8.com/menu.php](https://www.shakeno8.com/menu.php) PLAN: Please purchase your ticket for the 6:45pm showing and we’ll meet in the upstairs lobby between 6:25 and 6:35pm! Advance ticket purchase is advised for this opening night showing! Once you have yours, please list your seat number in the Comments section of this event.
