Diese Samstagsgruppe ist kein Ort, an dem ich mich erklären oder noch stärker werden muss. Es braucht keine Geschichten und kein Wissen darüber, was sich ändern sollte. Was es gibt, ist ein klar gehaltener Raum. Ein paar Menschen, die einfach da sind. Und die Möglichkeit, für einen Moment nichts darstellen zu müssen. Und oft geschieht dann etwas Unerwartetes: Ich funktioniere. Ich bin präsent, zuverlässig, freundlich. Und genau deshalb sieht kaum jemand, wie es mir innerlich wirklich geht. Die Müdigkeit. Das ständige Aushalten. Dieses leise Verschwinden nach innen, während nach aussen alles „in Ordnung“ wirkt. Das innere Halten lässt nach. Etwas wird ruhiger. Etwas wird wieder spürbar. Nicht gemacht. Nicht erzwungen. Sondern erlebt. Wenn dich diese Worte treffen, dann bist du hier richtig. 📍 **Ort:** Praxis Ruoss Stampfli, Else Züblin-Strasse 15, 8047 Zürich 🕒 **Zeit:** Samstag, 10:00 bis 12:00 Uhr 💰 **Beitrag:** Kollekte 📩 **Anmeldung:** per WhatsApp an 076 419 25 72

**Walk description:** The hike starts in front of the bus stop Schwarzenberg LU, Ennenmatt at 8:42. Then we walk to Luzern. Then we can see the illumination (see paragraph Lichtfestival ) You need to be fit and have good hiking shoes. [von Schwarzenberg nach Luzern | Wanderung | Komoot](https://www.komoot.com/de-de/tour/2737915842?share_token=aO07U0uw4szwpJv29htR3J0BFJsYKwQQ6Wrm4JVM7jHvrIW4lZ&ref=wtd) I know this is a long hike but it is not the most difficult hike. Furthermore there are some obvious shortcuts if you are not sure to be able to make it. For instance between 2 and 3 or 1 and 4 (look at the map to understand what I am speaking about). Or you can decide to join only for the Lichtfestival. In this case, please say it in the WhatsApp group. **About the Lichtfestival :** [Lilu Lichtfestival Luzern](https://lichtfestivalluzern.ch/rundgang/) We already have a lot to do with everything that is free but if you think something requiring a ticket can be worth don't hesitate to mention it in the whatsapp group. **How to go with the train (from Zurich and I will meet you on the way):** [Verbindungen Zürich HB nach Schwarzenberg LU, Ennenmatt | Das Online-Portal der SBB für Fahrplan, Zug und ÖV](https://www.sbb.ch/de?stops=%5B%7B%22value%22:%228503000%22,%22label%22:%22Z%C3%BCrich+HB%22,%22type%22:%22ID%22%7D,%7B%22value%22:%228508678%22,%22label%22:%22Schwarzenberg+LU,+Ennenmatt%22,%22type%22:%22ID%22%7D%5D&date=%222026-01-17%22&time=%2206:48%22&moment=%22DEPARTURE%22&selected_trip=0) **dedicated whatapp group** [WhatsApp-Gruppeneinladung](https://chat.whatsapp.com/GNtOMhaRwAeDnShipPsuBy) **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.

Join us for a fun introduction to padel or for the mexicano tournament, perfect for absolute beginners, occasional hobby players, or tennis enthusiasts looking to try something new. No previous experience is needed. After the event, we will gather for a social evening and have a drink together, you may bring something that you would like to share with the others. **Location: Padelta, Milandia** The venue has lockers (bring a 2.- coin) and showers available. **Cost:** 50 CHF per person. It includes court rental, rackets, balls, a drink, and snacks after the game! If you are a good former tennis player and have not tried padel yet, get the ticket of "Tournament Ticket", as long as you learn the rules beforehand through videos. **Newbies** (50 CHF) will guided with an instructor (Abraham) separately, please come at *19:40* as you will start 1 hour after the rest of the group. **Schedule:** 18:40-18:50: Gather 18:50: Quick rule briefing & team division (first timers together) 19:00 - 22:00: Play padel with the possible rotating matches 22:00 onwards: Socialize, chat, and maybe find a training partner! **Location**: [Padelta, Milandia](https://maps.app.goo.gl/efZMYwi4DqHephJB8) **Parking info**: [nearest parking](https://maps.app.goo.gl/x9nNu8h37zp3UL697) (use this link also if you plan to take the train / bus) **Game Rules:** Because we’re using the Mexicano format, expect 1 break every 5 games and the breaks can be consecutive. In practice, that means each player is on court roughly 75-80% of the time. On average 1 game lasts 12 mins. Scoring follows the Mexicano format; for this event, note: * Every rally = 1 point. * Serve switches to the other team every 2 points. * The same player serves both serves (first from the right, then from the left). * A game ends when the combined score is 21 (e.g., 9–12, 5–16, 8–13, etc.).

Hares are Dr. Nob and Saddam. This is a codeshare hash with WSH3, in an unhashed area between Zürich, Winterthur and Schaffhausen. Prepare for a long day. Expect a fairly long and hilly A to A trail, with some shiggy and hopefully snow. There is a big marked short cut for people weaker or more decrepit than the hares. Circle and on after at the pub, including a set by Dr. Nob's band, The Bourbon Myths. And making a return appearance to a hash event, Mirjam, James and Dr. NOB will start the evening with some tunes from the last century. 14:00 start, bag drop in a car (Dacia Jogger). The pub is open from 16:00. They will make Thai food for us. 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. • 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.

Join us for a relaxed, welcoming gathering for women living with autoimmune conditions who are craving connection, understanding, and a calmer way forward. No pressure. No fixing.

We’ll spend time: • Meeting one another in a supportive, judgment-free space • Sharing why we’re here (only if you want to) • Learning a short, gentle nervous system reset you can use anytime • Setting the tone for what this community will become together This is not a medical talk or a support group focused on symptoms. It’s a space to reconnect with yourself and meet women who truly get it. Come exactly as you are. Energy levels welcome. Quiet observers welcome.

Mindfulness Meditation group practice every Wednesday evening at Unity of Gaithersburg. Mindfulness practice is not about achieving some special state of mind; it is more about noticing the experience you are having without trying to change it. This interesting video suggests why you might sit and watch your mind wander off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmmBF8eTl18 This noticing tends to shift your nervous system from a 'fight-or-flight' state to a more relaxed and receptive state. In this receptive mental state, you begin to see your own experience differently and, over time, see other people and the world differently. Also, it is good for you: "the effect of regular meditation on the cortex was so profound that fifty-year-old meditators had a prefrontal cortex that looked like that of a twenty-five-year-old" [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PLRZVTT](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PLRZVTT) Here is an interesting and funny take on meditation by Ajahn Brahm: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TR60RRmXeYs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TR60RRmXeYs). If you arrive on time, there will be an introduction at the beginning, if you arrive late, find a chair and join us. There will be some discussion after.
