### Weekly Co-Working & Networking Sundays in Zürich ☕🐶💻 Every Sunday, we meet at **Ibis Styles Lounge** to work, connect, and build community in a relaxed atmosphere. It’s a space where you can focus on your projects, meet like-minded professionals, and always have one reliable place in Zürich to do co-working and networking between 13:00 and 16:00. 📍 **Location:** Ibis Styles Lounge, Stampfenbachstrasse 60, 8006 Zürich ⏰ **Time:** Sundays, 13:00–16:00 There’s a cozy lounge area, quiet spaces to focus, and a small bar for coffee. Agenda: * **1:00 PM:** We meet around the table, introduce ourselves, and share what we’re working on. * Then we pair up or form small groups to co-work, help each other focus, or give feedback. * After about one and a half hour, we meet again briefly to share how it went and what we got done. * Martin (the host) usually leaves at 16.00, but you are welcome to stay longer. Hope to see you this, or any other Sunday!

Abonniere meinen [Whatsapp-Kanal](https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Vb72OOCEKyZ9YmR6Xq2u) für regelmässige Tipps rund ums Schweizerdeutsch. **Lust auf Bewegung an der frischen Luft und dabei locker (Schweizerdeutsch) plaudern?** 🚶💬 Dann komm zum Walk and Talk! **So funktioniert’s:** **Wir treffen uns am Treffpunkt Zürich HB und gehen gemeinsam los** **Damit wir uns finden halten wir ein Plüschtier auffällig in der Hand.**** Jede und jeder bringt sich ein – Gesprächsthemen entstehen unterwegs von selbst Im Anschluss können wir, wer Lust hat, noch gemeinsam irgendwo einen Kaffee trinken ☕ **Der Organisator ist nicht zwingend jedes Mal dabei – die Idee ist, dass das Treffen auch selbstorganisiert funktioniert** Hinweise: Bequeme Schuhe & wettergerechte Kleidung Findet bei (fast) jedem Wetter statt Wasser/Getränk nach Bedarf mitnehmen Jede und jeder darf gerne Freunde mitbringen

Our groups yearly tradition continues! At the Zürcher Comic Manga Börse you can find old and new comics, merchandise, artists signing their work, cosplayers, movie memorabilia, action figures, DVD/BluRay films and posters. http://comic-boerse.ch We will meet at 14:00 outside Volkshaus and then start our visit. In case you can only join later, just enter and find us inside (the venue is relatively small). Bringing your kids along is highly encouraged! Entrance fee: 7.- CHF (free entry for children)

Christmas is nearing, and with that, the Glühwein is quickly running at! This will likely be your LAST chance to see drunk santa's fight over the last Glüwein at the Bellevue Christmas market! So come out, escape your family and find one last respite at the Hash! We will meet at the Stadelhofen Bahnhof lockers for the bag drop, for a short but pleasant run through the city, followed by one more visit at the Christmas Market at Bellevue for a late lunch, early dinner and last chance to breathe in some festive energy before the REAL deal starts. **Where**: See location. Typically within Zurich Zone 10. Look for English speakers wearing running gear. **When:** We'll meet at 13:50 pm to start at 14 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.

Do you want more motivation and confidence to build Lasting Relationships? This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships. Are you burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival, while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This class is held at the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center.
