Accessibility often feels overwhelming with all its guidelines, standards and edge cases. But in practice, meaningful improvements don’t require perfection. They require empathy and a sincere motivation to create a truly usable experience for all. In this talk, we share real learnings from UX and UI projects: what actually made a difference, where teams struggled, and how small, deliberate changes created a much more inclusive experience. You’ll walk away with a practical mindset and actionable ideas to start improving accessibility in your own projects — without waiting for the “perfect” solution.

Ergänzende Infos: Salsa! Kein anderer Tanz hat in den letzten Jahren eine derart steile Erfolgskurve aufs Parkett gelegt. Die Salsa weckt Sehnsüchte nach der Karibik und versprüht wahre Lebensfreude. Salsa wird paarweise getanzt. Ein Partner führt, der andere wird geführt. Bei uns werden hauptsächlich Kurse im kubanischen Stil unterrichtet, der Salsa Cubana, welcher seinen Ursprung in Kuba hat. Die kubanische Salsa wirkt eher spielerisch, rhythmisch und lebendig und setzt sich aus unterschiedlichen lateinamerikanischen Rhythmen und Tänzen zusammen. Das wesentliche Merkmal des kubanischen Stils sind die Drehungen des Tanzpaares um einen gemeinsamen Mittelpunkt und das Kernstück des Salsa Cubana, die Rueda de Casino. Der Name Rueda rührt daher, dass alle beteiligten Paare einen Kreis bilden, wobei sie jeweils synchron die gleichen Figuren tanzen. Bedingt durch Partnerwechsel, die jeweils zu den getanzten Figuren gehören, dreht sich die Rueda bzw. das Rad. Der Kurs für blutige Anfänger oder für Leute, die sich mit den Basic-Elementen noch unsicher fühlen.

### **THE RADICAL PIVOT** One minute you’re certain; the next, the world has shifted beneath your feet. [A Change of Heart](https://zurichstorytellers.ch/events/a-change-of-heart) isn’t just a new opinion—it’s a 7.0 magnitude quake. It’s the 3:00 AM realization that your "forever" plan is actually a dead end. It’s the terrifying, electric moment you stop trying to be right so you can finally be happy. On May 28, we explore the seismic shifts, the shock U-turns, and the radical courage it takes to change your mind. "*Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything*." — **George Bernard Shaw** **DO YOU HAVE A STORY OF CHANGE?** Did a rival you loathed become the person you trust most? Did that six-figure dream job devolve into a hamster wheel? Maybe you fell for someone who was the polar opposite of your "type." If you’ve experienced a pivot that redrew your map, come share your truth. Past storytellers testify: the catharsis of the stage makes you feel like a million bucks—and our audience will shower you with the love you deserve. **FEEL THE SHIFT** Maybe your own sea change is still too fresh to speak out loud. We get it. Come take a seat as our storytellers navigate the raw reality of closing one door to kick open another. You’ll feel that tightening in your chest when the stakes get high and that collective sigh of relief when the tension breaks into laughter. You aren’t just a spectator; you’re one of the witnesses. Listen to your heart, then cast your vote for the “Best StorySLAM of the Month.” **PROGRAMME:** **Theme of the night: [A CHANGE OF HEART](https://zurichstorytellers.ch/events/a-change-of-heart)** **19:00** Doors open\* **19:30** Welcome with co-host cold open story **20:00** StorySLAM Part ONE \*\* **20:30** INTERMISSION **21:00** StorySLAM Part TWO \*\* **21:50** Voting for best StorySLAM of the night **22:00** Afterparty: enjoy drinks and connect with fellow storytellers **\*** Tickets CHF 25 at **[EventFrog](https://eventfrog.ch/en/p/theatre-stage/stage-event/storyslam-a-change-of-heart-7457430914768864060.html)** or at the door (cash or TWINT). \*\* StorySLAM stories are 5-7 minutes and true, as recalled by the storyteller.

Kylie Minogue said Head and today we celebrate the birthday of the Pint of Aussie Beer Sized Princess of Pop. Your glamorous Hares have made a pop splendid trail Especially For You. A trail that will have you doing The Loca-Motion from A to A and a popfantastic drink stop to have you Spinning Around. A refreshing swim stop where hopefully the water won’t get In Your Eyes. A trail so good it might just get named trail of the year - I Should Be So Lucky! Bag drop at the mobility car at the end of Hermetschloostrasse. Final stop on the bus 31. VIP glitzy On after at Micas Garten. Hares are Just Beggin' For It & Cheese Eating Surrender Monkey. **Where**: See location. Typically within Zurich Zone 10. Look for English speakers wearing running gear. **When:** We'll meet at 6:50 pm to start at 7:00 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 useful. • 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.

Der Lützelsee ist bekannt für seine landschaftliche Schönheit. In der friedlichen Stille der Landschaft können wir erleben, wie in uns heilsame Energien frei werden. Ein besonderes Erlebnis bietet die Zeit um die Sommersonnwende, die wir bei Vollmond nutzen, um in tiefere Ebenen unseres Bewusstseins, jenseits des Alltagsbewusstseins, einzutauchen. Bei Vollmond erreicht unser Energielevel das Maximum. Dies in Verbindung mit langanhaltendem rhythmischem Gehen ermöglicht uns eine bewusste Grenzerfahrung in körperlicher, psychischer und geistiger Hinsicht. Wir umrunden den Lützelsee langsam im Schweigen. Jeder kann eigene Uebungen mitbringen, z.B. Meditationen, Mantras, Gebete, Traumyoga etc. In einigen tantrischen Traditionen geht man davon aus, dass das erste Chakra unter den Fusssohlen zu finden ist. Wird dieses Fusschakra durch längeres Gehen aktiviert, öffnen sich alle anderen Chakren und heilende Energien fliessen bis zum Kronenchakra. All dies kann bei der Wanderung ausprobiert werden. Eine einmalige Gelegenheit. Die Wanderung beginnt bei Sonnenuntergang (21:11) und endet mit dem Sonnenaufgang (5:33). Wir umrunden den Lützelsee insgesamt sieben Mal. Nach jeder Umrundung machen wir 10 Minuten Pause. Wer möchte, kann uns auch nur für eine oder ein paar Runden begleiten und im Schlafsack Pause machen. Seltene Gelegenheit, kann aus Wettergründen nur ungefähr alle 2 Jahre durchgeführt werden.

🌿 Fühle, Vertraue, lass dich fallen Es gibt diese Momente, in denen man merkt: man hat den ganzen Tag den Boden nicht gespürt. Nicht den Kies, nicht das Gras, nicht das Wasser. Den Körper auch nicht so richtig. Dieser Nachmittag ist genau das Gegenteil. Wir gehen barfuss eine Strecke entlang, auf der sich der Boden ständig verändert – Kies, Wiese, Wasser, Holz. Eine Kneipp-Anlage als roter Faden. Zwischendurch halten wir an und arbeiten miteinander: jemandem das Gewicht überlassen, sich tragen lassen, mit geschlossenen Augen geführt werden. Sachen, die im Kopf einfach klingen und im Körper plötzlich echt sind. Danach setzen wir uns in den Kreis. Eine Runde, ca. eine Stunde, jede:r teilt, was drin war. Und dann ist der Tag offen. Wer baden will, badet. Wer weiter erzählen will, erzählt weiter. Wer Musik machen will, macht Musik. Picknick auf der Wiese, jeder bringt was mit. Du musst nichts können. Du entscheidest, wie weit du dich öffnest. Wenn dir eine Übung zu viel ist, machst du sie nicht. Kosten: Kostenlos / Spende Gruppe: max 15 Mitbringen: Picknick zum Teilen, Badesachen, Tuch, Decke zum Sitzen, Wasser. Wenn du magst: ein Instrument. Bis Bald 🫶 \-\-\- 🌿 Feel, trust, let go There are these moments where you realise: I haven't felt the ground all day. Not gravel, not grass, not water. Not really my body either. This afternoon is the opposite of that. We walk barefoot along a path where the ground keeps changing – gravel, grass, water, wood. A Kneipp trail as the thread running through it. In between, we stop and work with each other: handing your weight to someone, letting yourself be carried, being guided with closed eyes. Things that sound simple in the head and suddenly become real in the body. Then we sit in a circle. One round, about an hour, each person shares what came up. And then the day stays open. Whoever wants to swim, swims. Whoever wants to keep talking, keeps talking. Whoever wants to make music, makes music. Picnic on the meadow, everyone brings something. You don't need to know anything. You decide how far you open up. If something feels too much, you skip it. Cost: Free / Donation Group: max 15 Bring: picnic to share, swimwear, towel, blanket to sit on, water. If you like: an instrument. See you soon🫶

Dear All, This session is mainly for the people who want to learn kundalini yoga/meditation in a traditional way. Traditionally the master will transfer his/her kundalini energy to the student to activate his important chakras (energy centre) including Third Eye and Crown Chakra. The student can start to feel his/her Kundalini Energy is rising from their base of the spine and feeling the energy vibration(Consciousness) in the third eye (the space between the eyebrows) from the Kundalini Activation. This session is helpful for the beginners who want to learn simple yoga-meditation exercises also. This is a general session to experience your inner kundalini energy. But if you need proper kundalini activation(Shaktipat), then pre-registration is mandatory. **What is included in this session?** Simple stretching practices for Hip and Spine (not complicated, even beginners can do) Kundalini Breathing Techniques Sound Energy (Mantra) Meditation Energy Healing Techniques Formal Kundalini Activation (optional and only for pre-registered people) Chakra Meditation Yoga Nidra (Relaxation) **Some of the benefits of Kundalini Energy Activation are:** Keeps the body healthy Mind attains its natural peaceful state, so the meditation becomes easy. Breathing pattern will be harmonized Stress release and peace Clear & sharp intellect More intuition Inner happiness Clairvoyance and Clairvision and to the ultimate SELF realization (which will lead to the blissful state - our true state) with enough years of practise **DONATION BASIS** **About the Teacher who conducts this session:** The kundalini wisdom teacher Jayaprakash is practising kundalini yoga since 2005 under the guidance of Self Realized Indian Master "GuruMahan". He is teaching kundalini yoga since 2008 as part of a non-profit organization "Maha Shakthi Yogam Switzerland". He teaches Yoga/Meditation/Pranic Healing/Stress Relief courses in various places of Germany and Switzerland. He is the authorized kundalini yoga wisdom teacher from UPF(India) to give kundalini initiations (Shaktipat) with the Grace and Protection of his Master. All these events are conducted for non-profit purpose. Donations are collected on behalf of Swiss non-profit organization (Verein) "Maha Shakthi Yogam - Switzerland" **Eligibility:** Anyone can attend the session even if they don't have previous yoga/Meditation experiences. **Dress:** Wear a comfortable dress if possible yoga dress. We provide the yoga mat. **Please RSVP only you are really interested and coming ! Limited Seats !** **About Kundalini Shaktipat:** In every human being there is a source of natural energy that the yogis call the kundalini. In order to evolve in the yogic path, no matter what our path, the kundalini must be active. For most of us, the kundalini lies dormant at the bottom of the spine in the base chakra known as the Muladhar. When it awakens, it ascends through the chakras until it reaches the highest chakra, the Sahasrar. When that occurs, we merge with our True Self and attain SELF realization (our true nature). Shaktipat is the transfer of spiritual energy from the teacher to the student in order to awaken the kundalini. This process is compared to lighting one candle with another that is already lit and glowing. When the teacher is connected with the fully realized master and the energy is completely within his or her control, shaktipat initiation ensures that the student’s energy will remain active and stable. "Electricity is present everywhere, but there can be light only when the switch is turned on. Similarly the true master manifests the consciousness in the disciple through shaktipat.” **HAPPINESS is our TRUE Nature, which comes from within not from outside !**

Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor. BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it “a sure-fired crowd-pleaser” that “just might be the feel-good hit of the year!” Others say, “Paul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmer” that’s both “hilarious and deeply moving!” SUMMER OF ICE CREAM, VOL 2: SHAKE NO. 8!

[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations. If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!). **HOW IT WORKS** **Step 1: Bring a topic** Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event. **Step 2: Circle up & share** We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds. **Step 3: Walk, talk & float** We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!" **Step 4: Feel more alive** Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times. *For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)* **HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC** A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about.

Main Library, Meeting Room 2B Join us for a welcoming evening of reflection, gentle music, and meaningful conversation. We’ll begin with a short grounding moment, followed by a brief reading from spiritual or philosophical traditions, and an open reflection circle where participants can share (or simply listen). Libera Animae is an interfaith community focused on inner growth, creativity, and authentic connection. All backgrounds are welcome.
