Mäng - transformational game
Join us for a live (private) session of **Mäng (offline in Zürich or online worldwide)**, a powerful self-exploration game that helps uncover hidden mental scripts and rewire the way you think, feel and act.
Mäng is a modernized version of an ancient contemplative practice — reimagined as a transformational tool based on psychological insight, symbolic logic, and inner strategy. It is not therapy or coaching in the traditional sense. Instead, it’s an immersive deep-dive into the unconscious mind through metaphor and archetype with a game spirit.
💡 **How it works:**
Mäng is built on four stages of real, lasting change:
1. **Discovery** – Identify limiting beliefs and internal programs
2. **Uninstallation** – Let go of outdated patterns
3. **Design** – Create new mental strategies
4. **Integration** – Embed them into your deeper awareness
You’ll be guided through this process by the **Master of Mäng**, who offers structure, questions, and insight — while you remain the one making all decisions and discoveries.
🌿 **Who is this for?**
* People feeling stuck or unsure of their next steps
* Those tired of repeating the same emotional patterns and looking for inspiration and clarity
* Anyone curious about deeper transformation without spending years on it
🧭 No prior experience needed — just bring your question or theme.
🕒 **Important:**
This is a deep game. A full session lasts **4 hours**. Time slots are defined individually. Contact me directly to get an appointment.
Price for newbies: 250 CHF
Filmbesprechung "Das Wunder von Bern”
Liebe Filmliebhaber
**15.45 Kochen**
**17.15 Essen, um Freundschaften aufzubauen und zu pflegen**
**19.00 Film privat anschauen**
**21.15 Besprechung**
Das Drehbuch stammt von Sönke Wortmann, Rochus Hahn, Regie führte Sönke Wortmann
Wir freuen uns über jeden, der kommen kann und Freude am gemeinsamen Besprechen hat.
**Handlung:**
1954, 9 Jahre nach dem Ende des 2. Weltkrieges, gewinnt Deutschland überraschend die Fussball-Weltmeisterschaft in der Schweiz. Ein Krieg kann nur geführt werden, wenn der Wunsch nach Zugehörigkeit und Bedeutung auf etwas Höheres ausgerichtet wird - wie eine Nationalität, eine «bessere» Kultur oder die Rettung einer abstrakten Weltsicht. Der Mensch wird missbraucht und funktionalisiert: Er unterwirft sein Leben und sein gesamtes Fühlen, Denken und Verhalten einer scheinbar guten Sache und gibt sich dabei selbst und die Mitmenschlichkeit ganz auf.
Dies ist nur möglich durch eine Erziehung, in der der einzelne Mensch sich unbedeutend, ausgeliefert und weitgehend unverbunden empfinden lernt. Der einzelne Mensch hat dann nicht erlebt und glaubt nicht daran, dass er sein Leben selbst beglückend aufbauen kann - zusammen mit anderen. Er fühlt sich nur bedeutungsvoll und entwickelt Hochgefühle, wenn er zu einer höheren Aufgabe auserkoren wird. In dieser Verwirrtheit der Gefühle lässt er sich sogar auf die Schlachtbank führen und opfert voraussehbar seine Familie, Ehepartner, Kinder, Freunde, Beruf, Gesundheit oder das Leben und sein Hab und Gut. Wenn das angestrebte Höhere durch einen Krieg verloren geht, fühlt er sich gedemütigt und erniedrigt - statt vom Elend befreit.
Statt der Friede an sich und das gemeinsame Leben, führte für viele Deutsche erst der Sieg in der Fussball-Weltmeisterschaft wieder zu einem Gefühl, jemand zu sein.
Der Film «Das Wunder von Bern» zeigt aus deutscher Sicht die Weltmeisterschaft. Gleichzeitig erlaubt es das Drehbuch, nachzuvollziehen, was der Krieg und die 11-jährige Gefangenschaft eines Vaters für eine Familie, die Familie Lubanski, bedeutet. Die Mutter hatte sich alleine mit ihren 3 Kindern in den verelendeten Nachkriegsjahren durchgekämpft - jahrelang in der Hoffnung, dass sie sich bei ihrem Mann anlehnen und das Leben gemeinsam gestalten könnte. Als der Vater heimkommt, ist er ausgezehrt und psychisch zutiefst beeinträchtigt, voller Ängste aus dem Kriegsgeschehen. Er glaubt, alleine für die Familie zuständig werden zu müssen und alleine wieder das Geld zu verdienen, um seine Frau zu entlasten. Er versucht zudem mit Gewalt in der Familie wichtig zu werden, indem er mit Disziplin eine höhere Ordnung herstellt, in der Zuneigung und Milde nicht vorkommen.
Zufällig versteht seine Frau, dass seine Erziehung und all seine unmenschlichen Erlebnisse in Krieg und Gefangenschaft ihn von den Menschen fern halten. Sie verurteilt ihn nicht dafür. Sie erklärt sogar ihren Kindern, dass ihr Vater ein Opfer dieser Kriegstreiberei und Disziplinierung ist und er sich wieder der Menschlichkeit annähern muss. So taucht in seiner Phantasie im ganzen Alltagsleben immer wieder das angsterregende Kriegsgeschehen auf und erschüttert ihn.
Seine Frau versteht seine seelischen Verstümmelungen und bringt ihrem Mann einfühlsam eine neue Sicht auf das Leben nahe. Sie vertraut darauf, dass er sich verändern kann und ermöglicht ihm damit, dass er ihnen nicht fremd bleibt und in ein gefühlsverbundenes Leben eintauchen kann. Er kann innerlich mit der Zeit freudvollere Tage aufleben lassen und seine seelischen Wunden mit ihr ausheilen. Im Film ist gut nachvollziehbar, wie er nach und nach liebevoll, verständnisvoll und mitfühlend werden kann. Dies wird besonders deutlich daran, wie er sich seinem Jüngsten annähert, mit dem er die Fussballleidenschaft teilt. Symbolisch kann er seine Tränenlosigkeit überwinden, was seine Annäherung an die Mitmenschlichkeit aufzeigt.
Dieselbe Botschaft vermittelt eine Schweizer Putzfrau dem Trainer der deutschen Fussballmannschaft, Sepp Hersperger, der selbst seinen Lieblings-Fussballspieler «gerechterweise» sanktionieren und von der Mannschaft ausschliessen will, weil dieser gegen die auferlegten Regeln verstossen hat. Sie plädiert entschieden für ein anderes Menschenbild: Milde statt Strafe - als Beispiel für einen gefühlsverbundenen Umgang, der auch die Disziplinierung verhindert, durch die Krieg erst möglich wird.
Ein weiteres Beispiel für einen immer verständnisvolleren Umgang unter Menschen, zeigt sich anhand eines Sport-Reporters der von der Chef-Redaktor auserkoren wird, von der Weltmeisterschaft berichten zu dürfen, just zur Zeit seiner Hochzeitsreise mit seiner Frau. In berührender Weise löst das Ehepaar diese konfliktträchtige Situation auf, indem er sie um Verständnis bittet für seine Karrieremöglichkeiten. Sie als eingefleischte Anti-Fussballerin aus grossbürgerlichem Haus begleitet ihn sogar zum Proletarier-Sport nach Bern und zeigt ihm damit ihre Liebe. Genauso begeistert er sich für sie, so dass er darauf verzichtet, privilegiert mit dem Zug der Weltmeister mitzureisen, um stattdessen ihre Schwangerschaft zu feiern.
Die Drehbuchschreiber Sönke Wortmann und Rochus Hahn zeigen einfühlsam und detailliert viele psychologisch entscheidende Vorgänge auf, die zu einem friedlichen und verständnisvollen Zusammenleben führen.

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.

Urban Sketching @ Zoo Zürich
< \* \* \* English version below \* \* \* >
DE
Wir treffen uns jeden ersten Sonntag im Monat um immer wieder an einem anderen Ort in Zürich zu zeichnen oder zu malen, was wir sehen und mögen. Dieses Mal besuchen wir den Zoo Zürich. Neben all den Aussengehegen bietet der Zoo auch genug warme Innenräume um Tiere, Pflanzen, Menschen oder auch die Zoo-Architektur im Skizzenbuch festzuhalten. Die Masoala Regenwaldhalle, der Kaeng KrachanElefantenpark oder natürlich das Aquarium sind wohl die grössten Beispiele.
Wir treffen uns bereits im Zoo, direkt nach dem Haupteingang. Bitte plant genug Zeit für die Kasse ein, damit wir um 11:00 im Zoo gemeinsam loslegen können. Für diejenigen, die es erst später schaffen, werde ich den zweiten Treffpunkt für 13:00 während des Events unten in den Kommentaren posten.
20% RABATT
EWZ-Kund\*innen können Tickets vorab mit 20% Rabatt online kaufen. Weitere Infos: https://www.ewz.ch/de/kundenvorteile/zoo-zuerich.html
Bitte bringt euer eigenes Zeichenmaterial und wer mag auch einen kleinen Stuhl. Keine Vorkenntnisse nötig. Anschliessendtreffen wir uns wieder und teilen unsere Ergebnisse. Die Werte der Urban Sketchers dienen uns als Orientierung:

Every first Sunday of the month we meet to draw or paint whatever we see and like in or around a place in Zurich that is different each time. This time we visit the Zurich Zoo. Besides all the outdoor enclosures, the zoo also offers enough warm indoor spaces to capture animals, plants, people or even the zoo architecture in the sketchbook. The Masoala Rainforest Hall, the Kaeng Krachan Elephant Park or of course the Auqarium are probably the biggest examples.
We meet already in the zoo, directly after the main entrance. Please plan enough time for the cashier, so that we can start together at 11:00 at the zoo. For those who can't make it until later, I will post the second meeting place for 13:00 during the event below in the comments.
20% DISCOUNT
EWZ customers can buy tickets online in advance with 20% discount. More info: https://www.ewz.ch/de/kundenvorteile/zoo-zuerich.html
Please bring your own drawing materials and whoever likes also a small chair. No previous experience necessary. Afterwards we will meet again and share our results. The values of the Urban Sketchers will serve as a guide:

**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.
Sunday Board Games at Land-Grant Brewing
We'll play board games at the [Land-Grant Brewing Company](https://landgrantbrewing.com/). The brewery has multiple [food trucks](https://landgrantbrewing.com/food/) on Sundays, including [Ray Ray's Hog Pit](https://rayrayshogpit.com/franklinton), [Buck City Sammies](https://www.buckcitysammies.com/menu), and [Hai Poké](https://www.haipokefoodtruck.com/).
The brewery also has (passable) drip coffee, free water, and Jeni's ice cream. You can also walk over to the [Land Grant Extension](https://callinyourbluffcoffee.com/) for "real" coffee. (You may have to stand in line, though. The Extension is popular.)
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.
Mangia at Carfagna's!
Let's gather for lunch at Carfagna's followed by an optional stop in Carfagna's Market to check out the tastes and smells of Italy.
Carfagna's address is 1440 Gemini Pl, Columbus, OH 43240
