Open Sharing Circle ✨ This circle will be held in English. We come together to be present and to show up as we truly are. The intention is to share in a safe and trusting space — thoughts, emotions, goals, opinions — whatever feels alive for you in the moment. No one has to share, and everyone is welcome to. ⸻ What is it about? • Strengthening self-awareness & self-trust • Personal growth • Building deep relationships & trust • Getting to know people on a genuine, human level • Feeling free to express yourself authentically ⸻ Circle Agreements Free & voluntary You are welcome to share anything you like — and you don’t have to share anything. Speak from your own experience Share from your personal perspective: your experiences, thoughts, feelings, and perceptions. The space holder may gently support this by placing a hand on their chest as a signal. Respect & confidentiality We meet each other with respect and without judgment. What is shared in the circle stays in the circle. Talking object Only the person holding the talking object speaks. Clarifying questions are welcome. Sharing time & space Take your time when sharing, and also leave space for others. Advice & support Speak for yourself and offer advice only with consent. Please ask explicitly if you would like to receive advice or support. Triggers & emotions Everyone is responsible for their own feelings and topics. Strong emotions (e.g., crying) are welcome and respected. Support is offered only if desired. Personal needs Please take care of your own needs (bathroom, food, etc.) and respect the group space. Space holders The organizing team selects space holders who support the flow of the circle and help maintain the agreements. The circle may be gently paused if needed. Focus round The space holder may intuitively initiate a short focus round if it feels supportive. Mobile phones Please keep your phone on silent and use it only for notes if needed. Time Duration: approx. 3 hours. You may leave at any time, ideally during the breaks (about every 45 minutes). After the circle, there is space to stay, connect, or continue sharing if you feel like it.

!!!THE EVENT IS NOT BOOKABLE VIA Meetup Our Book Club is a cozy monthly meet-up where we read, share, and talk about books together in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Usually, we choose one specific book per month, read it individually, and then meet to discuss it over coffee, tea, and good conversations. 💌Our read this time is a Booker Prize Winner 🏆 The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy This is the story of Rahel and Estha, twins growing up among the banana vats and peppercorns of their blind grandmother’s factory, and amid scenes of political turbulence in Kerala, India. Armed only with the innocence of youth, they fashion a childhood in the shade of the wreck that is their family. When their English cousin, Sophie Mol, and her mother, Margaret Kochamma, arrive on a Christmas visit, Esthappen and Rahel learn that Things Can Change in a Day. *** Hey girl, Just fyi Playhard is a members-only social club for girls 25-35ish in Zurich.

This meetup is for women and gender minority programmers in Zurich. As the title says, we meet to code. You can actually code together with someone or just enjoy the company of people coding next to you. You can for example bring your hobby project, a tutorial you'd like to try out or your next challenge on HackerRank. You don't need to come prepared though, you can also just drop by and can get inspired by / pair with someone else. We'll be meeting at the ETH main building (https://ethz.ch/en/campus/access/zentrum.html). Since there might not be any food / drink options open there on the weekend, consider bringing your own coffee if you need it as fuel for the coding :). I'll give a more detailed description where to find us in the comments as soon as I've found a table. While ETH can be tricky to navigate we haven't lost anyone yet! I'm looking forward to seeing you there!

ReelAbilities Film Festival Screening: Sign the Show Groundbreaking and truly one of a kind, Sign the Show pulls back the curtain on accessibility in entertainment for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community. Through humorous, heartfelt, and deeply insightful conversations, the documentary challenges assumptions, sparks laughter, and invites audiences to see access not as an add-on — but as essential. By centering lived experiences and honest dialogue, the film redefines what inclusion can look like on screen, on stage, and beyond. It explores the intersection of Deaf culture, performance, creativity, and equity in a way that is both thought-provoking and empowering. Special Live Talkback Discussion Following the screening, we’ll host a live discussion featuring the film’s director, Cat Brewer, joining us virtually via Zoom. She will be joined by Julie Rems Smario (featured in the film), offering behind-the-scenes insights into the making of the documentary, the creative process, and the larger conversation around accessibility in the arts. Accessibility Provided: ASL interpreters and CART captioning will be provided during the talkback to ensure full communication access for all attendees. Hosted at the Northern Virginia Resource Center for Deaf & Hard of Hearing Persons (NVRC), this event promises not only a compelling film experience but also a meaningful community conversation. Come ready to laugh, reflect, ask questions, and leave thinking differently about access and representation

Food is one of the most meaningful ways to experience culture — and Ethiopian cuisine is rooted in community, tradition, and bold, layered flavors. Join the Global Food & Culture group as we gather at Enatye Ethiopian Restaurant to explore traditional dishes served on injera. If you’re open to sharing, we can create a few shared platters so everyone can sample a variety of dishes — but individual ordering is perfectly fine too. Enatye is a small restaurant and does not make reservations so they recommended the 2-4 pm time frame. We’re initially capping this at 12 guests to keep the experience comfortable and conversational. If interest is strong and the restaurant can accommodate, we may open additional spots. The good news is that they will bill each of us separately! Come hungry. Come curious. And come ready to connect around the table.

You’ve never had Uzbek food? Perfect — this is your sign to change that. People walk in curious and walk out raving. It’s rich, flavorful, and seriously underrated. The cuisine has Turkish influences — so if you love that style of cuisine, you’re in for a treat. And if you’re feeling cautious, no worries… you can always go with something familiar like shish kebabs. Please keep your RSVP up to date. Repeated no-shows or last-minute cancellations may affect future RSVPs. The reservation is under my name. \*\* The restaurant can do maximum 5 checks for the table. Please bring cash for easier payment. \*\* They don't have alcoholic beverages on their menu. But you can bring your own bottle. \*\* Ample Free Parking in front of the restaurant. Here's the menu: https://www.silkroadchoyhona.net/
