**Welcome to your Monday night sanctuary.** Do you feel the need to quiet the mind, release the stress of the day, and start your week with fresh energy? In our fast-paced world, finding a space for true stillness is essential. **I** invite you to a weekly "Journey Within" (Die Reise nach Innen) in the heart of Meilen. ### **What to Expect** The sessions are a unique blend of three powerful modalities designed to regulate your nervous system and restore balance: * **Breathwork (Atemarbeit):** We use conscious breathing techniques to release stored emotions and move from "fight or flight" into a state of deep relaxation and vitality. * **Sound Healing (Klangheilung):** Immerse yourself in the healing frequencies of high-quality Crystal and Tibetan singing bowls. These vibrations work at a cellular level to guide your brain into Alpha and Theta states for profound peace. * **Guided Meditation:** A "red thread" that leads you back to your center, giving your journey a clear direction and purpose. ### **Why Monday Nights?** Mondays set the frequency for your entire week. By joining us at **Anjaly Yoga**, you choose to prioritize your well-being from the very start, ensuring you move through the following days with clarity and resonance. ### **Details at a Glance** * **When:** Every Monday, 20:15 – 21:15. * **Where:** Anjaly Yoga, Meilen ([Kirchgasse 23](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=%22Anjaly%20Yoga%20%2C%20Kirchgasse%2023%2C%208706%20Meilen%2C%20Switzerland%22)). * **Language:** Sessions are held in English and/or Deutsch. * **Energy Exchange:** * **Schnupperstunde (Trial):** 25.– (refunded if you purchase a 10-session pass!). * **Single Session:** 30.–. * **10-Session Abo:** 250.–. ### **How to Join** RSVPing on Meetup shows your interest, but **to officially reserve your mat**, please use one of the following methods: 1. **Book via Eventfrog:** [https://eventfrog.ch/en/p/health-spirituality/spirituality/sound-healing-breathwork-klangheilung-atemarbeit-meilen-7460780284654438106.html ](https://eventfrog.ch/en/p/health-spirituality/spirituality/sound-healing-breathwork-klangheilung-atemarbeit-meilen-7460780284654438106.html)(Accepts TWINT and Credit Cards). 2. **Book via WhatsApp:** Send a message to Renata at **079 882 60 73**.

A small in-person breakfast for founders and operators in Zürich to talk about what they are building, running, and figuring out right now. The idea is simple: coffee, breakfast, and one proper conversation with people who are building or running businesses here. This is not a panel, not a pitch event, and not formal networking. No one is presenting. No one is selling from the front of the room. It is just a small group conversation around what people are actually working through right now. We’ll keep the format simple: * quick introductions * what you are working on right now * one shared question for the table * open conversation over coffee and breakfast The group is intentionally small so everyone can actually speak and get to know each other. Everyone pays for their own coffee/breakfast. Good fit if you are a founder, operator, or someone actively building/running a business in Zürich and you prefer real conversations over pitching. Looking forward to meeting you.

Join us for our weekly entrepreneurship networking and coffee. Entrepreneurialism can be very challenging, in this meetup we help each other on the journey. Share experience strengths and hope. We do not sell or promote our products or services. The meeting starts at 8 am and introductions start at 8:15. Look forward to seeing you there!

Want **more info** than our Summary above? Then please read below: . . . . . **WHY?** we ❤️ **uniting people** and building **community** while having **fun!** We truly believe that **fun meaningful offline connections** to new & existing friends makes us truly happy and healthy! Our community meets **every 2 Fridays** in a **homey,** caring and **welcoming** "come as you are" environment ! . **WHAT is this event?** We are not a "party or drinks" meetup, nor we follow a "forced" process and agenda. Instead, we are a **Connection Community** inspired by Greek village cafes and Swiss Stammtisch — a welcoming environment where neighbours gathered as equals to share stories and build lasting friendships. We meet in a "**fixed-rhythm**" every 2 Fridays in a **homey** & **lovingly-hosted space** so you can connect with new and familiar faces. We provide **several optional activities** to help you **connect** with others—so you're free to **explore what resonates** with you! Together these activities create a unique **Connection** **Event.** . . . . **TIPS on how to connect:** * **Look out for a good smile/vibe** in a person/group of 2-3 people and say "Hi my name is xxx, can I join?". * **Try something different** (person, game, table, activity) often until you find **fun** **quality connection.** We have a lot of activities * **Ask** **Support:** we understand going out to meet friends can be a stretch. We make this easy with a fun and safe event. Also you can ask for help from our clearly communicated (see photos of this event) "**People Connectors**" who can help you discreetly to connect with others * **Invest time**(not quickly just come by) as friendships are an investment * **Come back**: big turnaround, people come randomly at each event, so you never know who you ll meet . . **.** **Some final words:** * **Bravo** **to you** for the courage to go out to meet new people! We know **everyone is unique** \- thats why we got a big new\-comer area\, 4 co\-hosts welcoming and connecting you\, and many activities for you to **choose** from to find what **suits you**! * **Weather?** Event takes place rain or shine, with indoors rooms and outdoors area that is ultra rain-protected * **Coming late?** no problem, we got many people until closing at 00:00 so come whenever! * **Too many attendees?** no problem, we got the space! Also as per the "what" above: you define what makes the event meaningful for you! Furthermore, the co-organisers have one goal: to say hi and introduce you to the event and people (if you want to please ask)! Finally remember: you dont have to talk to everyone, focus in a few people! Less is more! If you dont know where to start look for a good smile or an activity more matching to you. From there keep on trying people and activities.. * **Why so many options above for connection?** We always have: a first-timer area, Fun social games, Mindful games, ice-breaker questions or simply just talk freely to anyone. Often we add: Speed-friending and a Music jam. We believe **you are unique** and each of us prefers different ways of connection. Also we want to provide an opportunity for everyone to try something new * **Easy and Safe:** We have the whole location reserved for us so its safe to open up and meet new friends (unlike bars in Zürich where people find it strange if strangers talk to them). Christos and volunteers will also help with connection. Read more info below. * **Christos** (see [PHOTO](https://photos.app.goo.gl/pdtVaVGCyDEJ28uE8)) and our co-organisers will be wearing name budges and will aim to **welcome** **everyone.** * more info via our **[LINKS](http://linktr.ee/connectionspace)** * Yes YOU are **good** & **courageous** for looking for new fun connections! * Everyone is in same situation and you ll be surprised how **friendly people** are ❤️ * Come **early** though **later** also ok as many people there **until 00:00** * **It works**! We heard of many new friendships, living together and even getting a new job * **Mindful Connection Games:** from [The School of Life](https://www.theschooloflife.com/shop/?_product_type=games-card-sets) available: Confessions Game, The Friendship Game, Connection Game, The Loser Game, Games for grown-ups and three sets of "100 questions" (Conversation Toolkit & Careers & Relationships) * **Fun Social Games:** bring your own **board/card games** or choose from: Cards against humanity, Exploding Kittens, Codenames, Debatable, Sotally Tober, Taboo, Mafia, Uno, Monopoly and more. . . . . ``` Disclaimer & participation terms (Connection Space): By registering for and/or attending this event (“Event”), you agree: Registration required.
