How to Grow Your Business

**You’ve been living in Italy for months… maybe even years…** **but you still don’t really *live* in Italian.** You understand. You try. But when it’s time to speak, something holds you back. Not enough practice. Too much pressure. Or simply… no space that feels safe enough. I know this, because I’ve lived it. Learning the local language is what finally made me feel at home. That’s why I created this. **Welcome to The Village — a space to *experience* Italian, not just learn it.** This is for you if: – you want to actually speak, not just listen – you’re willing to make mistakes and grow from them – you value connection, presence and a positive group energy – you’re ready to step out of your comfort zone (gently, but consistently) This is **not** a traditional class. And it’s not for passive learners. In The Village, we: – practice real-life conversations – use role play, games and embodied exercises – support each other (no judgment, no pressure) – build confidence session after session The goal is simple: to help you feel more at home in Italy — in your body, and in your voice. I guide the space to make sure everyone speaks, feels included, and grows. **Small group. Real connection. Consistent practice.** If this resonates, contact me and I will share all details to attend: Francesca: +44 7551910793 Payment: 5x 2 hrs sessions: 50 euros, drop in sesson 12 euros

In yoga, the primary meaning of Vinyasa is “union of breath and movement”. The traditional sun salutation is an example of this, in which each movement is connected to a part of the breath. Vinyasa Yoga refers to a form of yoga that follows a specific series of asanas (postures). These postures are performed in sequence to create a specific pattern or fluid flow. The benefits of practising yoga are manifold, including improving one's attitude towards life. It teaches us discipline, helps us reduce stress, increases flexibility and strengthens our immune system. **Les Amis** is a women-only community of friendly souls.

This week is the **Milan Design Week**, the city’s biggest design event held every April, during which both the Salone del Mobile, at Fiera Milano Rho, and the Fuorisalone, all around the city, take place. While the Salone del Mobile is the main international trade fair showcasing the latest in furniture and interior design, **Fuorisalone** transforms Milan into a widespread, open-air design hub with hundred free events, installations, exhibitions and parties across many districts (like Brera, Tortona and Porta Venezia). You can check the map to see where and how many points of interest there are: [https://www.fuorisalone.it/it/2026/eventi/mappa](https://www.fuorisalone.it/it/2026/eventi/mappa) **The Plan:** Meeting point at 13:30 in front Sforza-Policlinico M4 metro stop. We will kick things off at La Statale/UNIMI with "MateriAE", then stroll through the streets of Brera to discover "When Apricots Blossom" at Palazzo Citterio. The exploration continues with an immersive experience at Palazzo Moscova with "Y.U.O. Your Own Universe" and ends in the modern skyline of Porta Nuova/Gaibaldi area where the "Blooming imperfections" is held. ⚠️ [Join the Whatsapp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/KDAtXPdE6wpFElRDCorFq5?mode=gi_t) to facilitate communications like sharing real-time position.

Dear Microsoft Swiss PSUG, We have planned another exciting event. **Place & Language:** Place: Isolutions AG, Schanzenstrasse 4c, 3008 Bern (Hybrid with Teams) Language: EN **Session 1: The power of 'Domain Specific Languages' in PowerShell - DSL Explained.** Description: In this session, we’ll explore the power of Domain Specific Languages (DSLs) in PowerShell — what they really are, how they work under the hood, and how you can leverage them to write cleaner, more expressive, and more maintainable automation code. Speaker: [Stéphane van Gulick](https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephanevg/) **Session 2: Azure DevOps Pipeline und Container Registry** Description: Ever needed to deploy PowerShell modules to your company users without relying on the public PowerShell Gallery? This session explores how to distribute modules using PSResourceGet together with Azure Container Registry - a simple, self‑hosted, and independent solution. We'll cover the architecture, automated distribution, validation, testing, versioning, and how these principles apply to any deployable artifact such as container images or files. Beyond the mechanics, we'll discuss how to design scalable pipelines that avoid “works on my machine” issues and simplify maintenance. Whether you're building internal tooling or publishing modules for wider use, you’ll see how DevOps fundamentals help turn PowerShell code into reliable, reusable deliverables.

This is a regular **2-hour volleyball game** for current members of our group. We usually play **5v5**, or **4v4**. **1) Please RSVP only if you can commit.** **2)** Please **arrive 10 minutes early and be on time** so we can start smoothly. **3)** If you’re **NEW**, **message first and do not RSVP directly**. To keep games balanced, guest spots are limited and usually suitable for intermediate-level players only. At the moment, the group is at capacity, so we are not accepting new regular members unless invited. **4)** If we reach out to confirm your spot and do not receive a timely response, the place may be offered to another available player. This helps us keep participation fair, keep the game organized, and make sure others feel comfortable joining the waitlist without worrying about being left out unfairly. **This is not a training session or a highly competitive setup.
