• Persönliches Wachstum
• Aufbau tiefer Beziehungen & Vertrauen
• Menschen auf einer echten Ebene kennenlernen
• Sich frei fühlen und sich authentisch zeigen können
Regeln
• Was im Kreis gesagt wird, bleibt im Kreis 🔒
• Respektvoll zuhören, nicht unterbrechen (außer für Rückfragen/Verständnisfragen)
• Ein Gegenstand („Talking Piece“) zeigt, wer gerade spricht
• Handy nur für Notizen, nicht zur Ablenkung (z.B. kein Insta-Scrollen 😉)
• Achte auf deine Bedürfnisse (Hunger, Müdigkeit etc.), sei wie du bist – aber respektiere die anderen

Italian Dinner - Trattoria Bluemenau
Join us for a laid-back Italian dinner at **Trattoria Blumenau**, a Zürich classic where everything is made **fresh, in-house, and with real care**: from antipasti to pasta and desserts.
It’s about **good food, good wine, and a table that fills up fast on a Friday night**.
***
### 🍷 The Vibe
Blumenau is lively, warm, and social — the kind of place where plates keep coming, glasses stay full, and conversation flows easily.
You’ll find a mix of regulars, friends meeting after work, and people who know where to eat well in Zürich.
Friendly service, relaxed atmosphere, zero stiffness.
***
### 🍽 What to Expect
* Freshly prepared dishes across the whole menu
* Plenty of **pasta variations**, classic mains, and homemade desserts
* Everything cooked with care
* A **strong wine list** that actually invites you to order a second bottle
Simple, honest Italian cooking that’s meant to be enjoyed, not over-analyzed.

ZH3 Hash #1708: Post Valentine Piss-up
Hare (someone to set the route) is One Night Wonder and Big Top. Come join us!
**Where**:
See location. Typically within Zurich Zone 10. Look for English speakers wearing running gear.
**When:**
We'll meet at 2:00 pm to start at 2:00 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.
• 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.
For more about Zürich Hash House Harriers, check out [www.zh3.ch](http://www.zh3.ch/) ( [http://www.zh3.ch/](http://www.zh3.ch/) )
Sunday Social Dog Walk through Zurich with Coffee
Social City Walk with Your Dog through Zurich on a Sunday morning.
We will stop for coffee between HB and Zurich lake, with our end destination being once again HB.
All ages and groups welcome.
You are also welcome if you just love dogs and would like to experience a bit more of them. I have two dogs which you could walk providing you let me know in advance that you would enjoy that.
hike from Einsiedeln to Seewen +Fastnacht
**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

**Registration:**
To sign up, please select "Yes" in the WhatsApp community survey for this activity:
[🌄 Switzerland Discovery Crew (Preferred Ages 18-35)🌄 | WhatsApp-Kanal](https://www.whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaoercY1XquRrJm58k3V)
If the event will happen in more than 30 days, I haven't added the survey in the channel yet. (Because message in a WhatsApp channel can be read by a new member only 30 days before he joins. But you can already enter the corresponding WhatsApp group)
If you are concerned about privacy, only the admin of a WhatsApp channel can see who has voted in a poll (unlike a WhatsApp group).
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.
Liebe & Dating als Single - Von Small Talk zu authentischer Anziehung
**Liebe & Dating als Single //**
**Von unverbindlichem Small Talk zu authentischer Anziehung**
**Zu viele Dates und Begegnungen laufen ähnlich ab:**
Man unterhält sich, lacht, tauscht Nettigkeiten aus – und doch passiert innerlich oft erstaunlich wenig.
Früher oder später geht man wieder getrennte Wege.
Was fehlt, ist selten Gesprächsstoff.
Was fehlt, sind Tiefe, Spannung und echte Verbindung.
*Kostenloser Mini-Workshop*
**Von unverbindlichem Small Talk zu authentischer Anziehung**
📍 **Ort:** Debattierhaus Karl der Grosse, Kirchgasse 14, 8001 Zürich
📅 **Datum:** Samstag, 14. Februar 2026 (nachmittags)
👥 **Teilnehmerzahl:** max. 30 Personen
*Trag Dich gleich ein und sichere Dir jetzt Dein Platz!*
Dieser Nachmittag richtet sich an Singles, die genau das verstehen – und etwas verändern möchten.
In entspannter Atmosphäre beleuchten wir psychologische und kommunikative Prinzipien, die einen entscheidenden Punkt im Dating bestimmen: **den Übergang vom freundlichen Kennenlernen zu romantischer Anziehung.**
Du lernst ein praxisnahes und zugleich tiefgehendes Konzept kennen, das sichtbar macht,
* warum Begegnungen oft auf einer unverbindlichen Ebene bleiben
* worin sich spannende, berührende Begegnungen von rein sozialem Small Talk unterscheiden
* und wie Anziehung entstehen kann, ohne dass Du Dich verstellen oder etwas vorspielen musst
Wir sprechen nicht über oberflächliche Flirt-Tipps oder aufgesetzte Verhaltensstrategien.
Im Fokus stehen bewusste Wahrnehmung, klare Kommunikation und authentisches Auftreten im zwischenmenschlichen Kontakt.
Kurz gesagt:
Was passiert zwischen zwei Menschen – vom ersten Kennenlernen bis zu romantischer Anziehung?
Der Nachmittag verbindet **klare Impulse**, **konkrete Erfahrung** und **echte Begegnung**:
* ein Mini-Workshop zu Kommunikation, Präsenz und Anziehung
* Reflexion, Austausch und praktische Anwendungsbeispiele, in denen Du das Framework direkt erleben kannst
* Zeit für neue Kontakte, spannende Gespräche und entspanntes Socializing
Es geht nicht darum, jemanden von Dir zu überzeugen oder „den nächsten Schritt“ zu machen. Sondern darum, authentischer, präsenter und bewusster in romantischen Begegnungen zu werden – und zu verstehen, warum manche Begegnungen Tiefe entwickeln und andere nicht.
Kein Datingevent.
Kein oberflächlicher Workshop.
Kein Leistungsdruck.
Sondern ein bewusst gestalteter Raum für Menschen,
die Dating und Beziehung nicht dem Zufall überlassen wollen
und neugierig sind, wie echte Anziehung entsteht.
**Um einen persönlichen Rahmen zu ermöglichen, ist die Teilnehmerzahl auf 30 Personen begrenzt.**
Wenn Du Lust hast, Dein Dating-Leben besser zu verstehen
und neue Erfahrungen in authentischer Kommunikation zu machen,
freuen wir uns, Dich an diesem Valentins-Nachmittag zu begrüssen.

The Fisherman by John Langan
Join us for The Fisherman by John Langan.
In upstate New York, in the woods around Woodstock, Dutchman's Creek flows out of the Ashokan Reservoir.
Steep-banked, fast-moving, it offers the promise of fine fishing, and of something more, a possibility too fantastic to be true. When Abe and Dan, two widowers who have found solace in each other's company and a shared passion for fishing, hear rumors of the Creek, and what might be found there, the remedy to both their losses, they dismiss it as just another fish story. Soon, though, the men find themselves drawn into a tale as deep and old as the Reservoir. It's a tale of dark pacts, of long-buried secrets, and of a mysterious figure known as Der Fisher: the Fisherman. It will bring Abe and Dan face to face with all that they have lost, and with the price they must pay to regain it.
Rhino Barn Tour @ The Wilds
**Summary**
For this event, we will do the [Rhino Barn Tour](https://www.thewilds.org/rhino-barn-tour) at [The Wilds](https://www.thewilds.org/), a ten-thousand acre conservation center in Muskingum County. It is the largest such center in North America and one of the largest in the entire world.
During this tour, we'll visit The Wilds' rhino herd in their state-of-the-art heated barns and learn how The Wilds' animal management team takes care of one of the largest herds of rhinos outside of Africa and Asia.
**The date and time of this tour**
We will be doing the 1:00 p.m. [Rhino Barn Tour](https://www.thewilds.org/rhino-barn-tour) on Saturday, February 28. The tour is scheduled to last 90 minutes.
**What you need to do to attend**
Signing up here on Meetup will not get you into The Wilds for the tour. You must go out to The Wilds' [website](https://www.thewilds.org/) and [buy a ticket](https://www.thewilds.org/rhino-barn-tour).
Please [purchase your ticket](https://www.thewilds.org/rhino-barn-tour), then sign up here on Meetup so I know how many to expect.
**Attendance cap**
There are only eight total slots/tickets available for this tour. As I obviously have already bought one of the tickets, that leaves seven spaces for everyone else.
If you are interested in this event, I urge you to [buy a ticket](https://www.thewilds.org/rhino-barn-tour) at The Wilds' website as soon as possible. Since their website is obviously public, nothing prevents other people having nothing to do with *GOhio!* from buying their own tickets, thereby potentially taking an available slot away from you.
**Additional notes on attendance**
I have now run several events at The Wilds. While the location of The Wilds and the pricing of the tickets generally leads to small turnouts, the people who have gone have all enjoyed it and were glad they went.
If you've never been to The Wilds and you like zoos or animals at all, you are likely to find any tour at The Wilds to be a rewarding experience.
**Tickets and pricing**
[Tickets](https://www.thewilds.org/rhino-barn-tour) for this tour are $95, or $76 if you're a Wilds' member. I've posted screen shots, below, to help you be sure you're buying tickets for the correct event.
Wilds' memberships pay for themselves if you go to The Wilds at least twice a year, and [Columbus Zoo members](https://www.columbuszoo.org/membership) get a discount on memberships to The Wilds. I will always run at least two events a year at The Wilds.
Tickets for all Wilds' tours must be purchased at least 24 hours in advance of the actual tour.
**Cancellations and refunds**
Per The Wilds' [Cancellation Policy](https://www.thewilds.org/policies): *In order to be eligible for refund and accrue no rescheduling fees, cancellations must be made at least 14 days in advance of reservation. Cancellations made within 14 days of reservation will not receive a refund.*
You may [contact The Wilds](https://www.thewilds.org/contact) at (740) 638-5030 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., or you can email them at information@thewilds.org.
**Waiver of liability**
After you purchase your ticket, you will likely be asked to fill out a waiver of liability. This is a very short document and should take you no more than two minutes to complete.
**Where we'll meet**
We will meet at The Wilds, whose actual address is [14000 International Rd, Cumberland, OH 43732](https://www.google.com/maps/place/14000+International+Rd,+Cumberland,+OH+43732/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x8837dae07a595557:0xa1ceca93325a8bd1?sa=X&ved=1t:242&ictx=111).
Please try to be there by 12:30 p.m. For most Wilds' tours, a shuttle bus will take you to the actual spot of the tour. So think of this as though you're going to the airport to catch a flight. It helps to be on time.
The Wilds generally asks that people arrive at least thirty minutes because the scheduled start time of their tour.
**GPS / Getting to The Wilds**
The Wilds is in a very rural area, but I've never had a problem getting there with my GPS (I have Verizon). I've also uploaded a JPG map, below, of Muskingum County.
Sometimes, though, it's hard to get a signal when you're at The Wilds and getting ready to leave. So you might want to consider downloading an offline map in Google Maps. Your cell phone should pick up a signal, however, within a few minutes after you leave.
The Wilds' Visitor Center does have free Wi-Fi.
**Carpooling?**
If you want to carpool, I recommend discussing this in the comments, below, to this event. While I don't myself carpool, I will do what I can to help you arrange something if I can.
**The weather**
Dress for the weather. Just because the barn is heated doesn't mean it will be warm. And wear closed-toed shoes.
Wilds' tours typically run no matter what the weather is.
**After the tour**
Once we're done with the rhinos, we'll head over to the very highly rated [Y-Bridge Brewing Company](https://ybridgebrewing.com/). The brewery is about thirty minutes from The Wilds, and it will be on the way back to Columbus for most, if not all, of us. The brewery's actual address is [1417 Linden Ave Ste D, Zanesville, OH 43701](https://www.google.com/maps/place/1417+Linden+Ave+d,+Zanesville,+OH+43701/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x8837edd6cc50824f:0xe3a0af1ccb2aefbf?sa=X&ved=1t:242&ictx=111).
Y-Bridge Brewing does not serve food; however, they have several [food options](https://ybridgebrewing.com/food-options). I encourage you to check these out ahead of time on their website for yourself. However, here are a few of them:
*Within walking distance -- 120 feet away*
* [Angry Bull Saloon](https://www.facebook.com/AngryBullSaloonZanesville/) (pizza & subs)
* The Corner Pub Sports Bar and Grill (classic bar food)
*Delivery options -- [Door Dash](https://www.doordash.com/)*
* [4 Star Pizza](https://fourstarpizza.com/), (740) 452-9300
* [Donatos](https://www.donatos.com/), (740) 452-7900
* [Pizza Cottage](https://www.pizza-cottage.com/), (740) 455-6000
* [Dominos](https://www.dominos.com/), (740) 455-3126
* [Papa John's](https://www.papajohns.com/), (740) 450-4100
If you live in the area or can't make The Wilds but still want to meet us at the brewery, that's fine too.
"A Treachery of Swans" by A.B. Poranek
Can two girls—one enchanted, one the enchantress—save their kingdom and each other?
Two hundred years ago, a slighted deity stole the magic from Auréal and vanished without a trace. But seventeen-year-old Odile has a plan. All her life, her father, a vengeful sorcerer, has raised her for one singular task: infiltrate the royal palace and steal the king’s crown, an artefact with enough power to restore magic. But to enter the palace, she must assume the identity of a noblewoman. She chooses Marie d’Odette: famed for her beauty, a rumored candidate for future queen…and Odile’s childhood-friend-turned-sworn-enemy.
With her father’s help, Odile transforms Marie into a swan and takes her place at court. But when the king is brutally murdered and her own brother is accused, her plans are thrown into chaos. Desperate to free her brother, Odile is forced to team up with none other than elegant, infuriating Marie, the girl she has cursed…and the girl she can’t seem to stop thinking about despite her best efforts.
To make matters worse, there are whispers that the king’s murder was not at the hands of man, but beast. Torn between loyalty to her father and her growing feelings for Marie, Odile becomes tangled in a web of treachery and deceit. To save her kingdom, she must find the true path to magic…and find the real killer before they—or it—strikes again.
Trivia Thursdays with Marquis!
Thursdays just got smarter (and sassier). 🧠🍻 Join us at TownHall Short North for Trivia Night with Marquis—where the questions are fun, the competition is friendly, and the vibes are immaculate. Grab your crew, sip something good, and prove you know random facts you absolutely shouldn’t.
Sunday Board Games at Land-Grant Brewing
We'll play board games at the [Land-Grant Brewing Company](https://landgrantbrewing.com/). They have multiple [food trucks](https://landgrantbrewing.com/food/) on Sundays. Ray Ray's also has coffee, and the brewery has free water (and Jeni's ice cream).
You can come late or leave early. Please just sign up so I know to expect you.
**Notes on Parking**
* You'll (probably) have to park on the street, but street parking is free on Sundays.
* There are [parking garages](https://landgrantbrewing.com/parking/) a little farther away if you want. These are obviously not free, though.
* There is a [lot next door](https://www.google.com/maps/place/39%C2%B057'26.0%22N+83%C2%B000'40.9%22W/@39.957211,-83.0119921,19z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m12!1m7!3m6!1s0x88388f3efd89238b:0xc139207386232411!2sLand-Grant+Brewing+Company!8m2!3d39.9577613!4d-83.011426!16s%2Fg%2F1pzt7t9df!3m3!8m2!3d39.957211!4d-83.011347?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDEyMS4wIKXMDSoKLDEwMDc5MjA3MUgBUAM%3D) to the brewery that you're allowed to park in, but it is not free. I've never parked there, so I don't know anything about rates. (I'm told though that if you eat at Milo's Deli next door to this lot that Milo's will stamp your parking so it's free.)
* You're going to see odd signs on [Lucas St](https://www.google.com/maps/place/39%C2%B057'26.1%22N+83%C2%B000'40.3%22W/@39.957256,-83.0124134,19z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m10!1m5!3m4!2zMznCsDU3JzI4LjgiTiA4M8KwMDAnNDEuNSJX!8m2!3d39.957993!4d-83.011536!3m3!8m2!3d39.957256!4d-83.011197?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDEyMS4wIKXMDSoKLDEwMDc5MjA3MUgBUAM%3D) (saying it's a "private street") that will lead you to believe you're not allowed to park there, but you actually are.
* Columbus parking cops literally do not work on Sundays. This means that, even if you're driving a non-EV, you can park in the EV spots near the brewery.
**Games**
I do bring many games, but please bring some of your own as well.
