Meditation & Runterkommen (Vipassana) at HZ Heuried, ZĂŒrich
Hallo!
Mein Name ist MichaĆ und ich bin langjĂ€hriger Meditationspraktizierender und Bewusstseins-Coach.
(Die Veranstaltung findet im GZ Heuried â Döltschiweg 130, 8055 ZĂŒrich statt. **Ich bitte um eine schriftliche BestĂ€tigung deiner Teilnahme bei der Anmeldung.)**
https://gz-zh.ch/gz-heuried/angebote/meditation-runterkommen/
In dieser gefĂŒhrten Meditation werden wir die RealitĂ€t genau so beobachten, wie sie ist. Wir konzentrieren uns auf den Geist, den Körper und die Empfindungen im Körper.
Die von mir geleitete Meditation ist in der Vipassana-Tradition verwurzelt und enthÀlt Elemente der non-dualen Bewusstheit.
Ich verwende keine Visualisierungen oder göttliche Bilder â sie ist so einfach wie möglich und meiner Erfahrung nach die effektivste Methode, die wahre Natur der RealitĂ€t allmĂ€hlich Tropfen fĂŒr Tropfen zu erkennen.
Diese Meditation ist fĂŒr alle spirituellen oder religiösen HintergrĂŒnde offen.
Der Abend besteht aus **einer Stunde Meditation**, gefolgt von **30 Minuten Fragen und Antworten**.
Ich wĂŒrde mich sehr freuen, wenn du an diesem Abend teilnehmen wĂŒrdest.
**GebĂŒhr â 20 CHF**.
Wenn du finanzielle Schwierigkeiten hast, kontaktiere mich bitte, und wir können ĂŒber andere Möglichkeiten sprechen.

Manga Drawing Workshop Zurich
Manga zeichnen wirkt auf den ersten Blick oft kompliziert und einschĂŒchternd. Die ausdrucksstarken Augen, besonderen Proportionen und dynamischen Figuren lassen viele glauben, dass man dafĂŒr jahrelange Erfahrung braucht. Doch genau hier setzt dieser Manga-Zeichenworkshop an: Manga zu zeichnen ist viel zugĂ€nglicher, als viele denken â wenn man die richtigen Grundlagen kennt und Schritt fĂŒr Schritt angeleitet wird.
In diesem Workshop lernen Erwachsene auf verstÀndliche und entspannte Weise die wichtigsten Techniken des Manga-Zeichnens kennen. Der Kurs ist so aufgebaut, dass auch absolute AnfÀnger\*innen problemlos einsteigen können. Ziel ist es, Hemmungen abzubauen, neue kreative Impulse zu geben und den eigenen Zeichenstil zu entdecken.
Alle benötigten Materialien sind im Kurs inklusive. Zeichenpapier, Stifte und weitere Utensilien stehen vor Ort zur VerfĂŒgung, sodass du einfach kommen und direkt loslegen kannst.
Der Fokus liegt nicht auf Perfektion, sondern auf dem Freude am Zeichnen, Ausprobieren und Weiterentwickeln. Am Ende des Workshops nimmst du nicht nur deine eigenen Zeichnungen mit nach Hause, sondern auch neue Techniken und mehr Sicherheit im Zeichnen.

Punch Needle Workshop in Zurich
Im Punch Needle Workshop verwandelst du einfache FĂ€den in ein einzigartiges Kunstwerk. Punch Needle ist eine moderne und zugleich entspannende Sticktechnik, bei der mit einer speziellen Nadel Schlaufen in den Stoff gestochen werden. So entstehen strukturierte, weiche OberflĂ€chen und ausdrucksstarke Muster. Der Workshop ist ideal, um Punch Needle kennenzulernen, kreativ abzuschalten oder in kurzer Zeit etwas Schönes mit den eigenen HĂ€nden zu erschaffen â ganz ohne Vorkenntnisse.
Zu Beginn des Workshops erhĂ€ltst du eine kurze EinfĂŒhrung in die Grundlagen der Punch-Needle-Technik. Ich zeige dir Schritt fĂŒr Schritt, wie die Nadel richtig verwendet wird, wie du den Faden fĂŒhrst und gleichmĂ€Ăige Schlaufen erzeugst. Du lernst, worauf du achten musst, damit dein Motiv sauber und stabil wird. Die ruhige, gleichmĂ€Ăige Bewegung macht Punch Needle besonders entspannend und perfekt fĂŒr eine kreative Auszeit vom Alltag.
Im Workshop kannst du zwischen zwei kreativen Optionen wÀhlen:
Option 1 â Motiv sticken (29 CHF)
Du wĂ€hlst ein bestehendes (oder eigenes) Motiv und stickst dieses ohne Hintergrund. Diese Option ist ideal fĂŒr Einsteiger\*innen oder alle, die Punch Needle unkompliziert ausprobieren möchten. Der Fokus liegt ganz auf der Technik und dem Motiv selbst. Hier kannst du dein Werk in eine Untertasse verwandeln.
Option 2 â Motiv mit Hintergrund (35 CHF)
Hier stickst du dein Motiv inklusive Hintergrund. Dadurch erhĂ€lt dein Werk mehr Tiefe und eine besonders schöne, flĂ€chige Struktur. Diese Option eignet sich fĂŒr alle, die ihr Kunstwerk etwas aufwendiger gestalten möchten. Hier kannst du dein Werk auch in eine Untertasse verwandeln, oder als Deko aufhĂ€ngen.
Die maximale Workshopdauer betrĂ€gt bis zu 1 Stunde. Je nach Tempo und Design kannst du dein Werk in dieser Zeit fertigstellen oder einen grossen Teil davon umsetzen. WĂ€hrend des gesamten Workshops begleite ich dich persönlich, gebe Tipps und unterstĂŒtze dich bei Fragen oder Unsicherheiten. Alles darf, nichts muss â wichtig ist, dass du Freude am Prozess hast.
Alle Materialien sind inklusive. Du arbeitest mit hochwertigen Garnen in verschiedenen Farben, Stoff, Rahmen und Punch Needle. Du musst nichts mitbringen â ausser Lust auf KreativitĂ€t. Dein gesticktes Werk kannst du am Ende direkt mit nach Hause nehmen, sei es als Dekoration, Geschenk oder persönliches ErinnerungsstĂŒck.
Wenn du Lust hast, etwas Neues zu entdecken, kreativ zu entspannen und in kurzer Zeit ein eigenes Kunstwerk zu gestalten, ist dieser Punch Needle Workshop genau das Richtige fĂŒr dich. đ§¶âš

**Kon-Tiki Comedy Tuesday!**
Zurich's longest standing weekly Comedy Night : English Standup at Kon-Tiki Bar since 2018!
**Tickets :** [https://shorturl.at/fgjmM](https://shorturl.at/fgjmM)
Kon-Tiki Comedy has long become a staple of Tuesday Nights in Zurich! Veterans, regulars, amateurs & newbies from all around the world show up to make people laugh. This Comedy Open Mic is regularly Hosted by Ahmet Bilge.
Kon-Tiki Comedy is the place for English Standup in central Zurich. Come join & laugh with us!
**Early Show starts at 19:30 pm**
**Frequently Asked Questions:**
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
**Q: Is the show in English?**
A: YES. Kon-Tiki Comedy is always in English.
**Q: What's the difference of a Comedy Open Mic from a regular Comedy Show?**
A: Anybody who wants can go on stage at a Comedy Open Mic. A bunch of Comedians will be there, but they will be trying out jokes, because this is how Comedians find out if something is funny or not, so you get to be there at the birthplace of jokes. Often Comedy Open Mics are more casual & but also funny as well!
**Q: Can I perform Comedy also?**
A: Yes of course! Just contact theamericanstandupshow@gmail.com if you're interested in performing. Or directly go to the event page on facebook & write "SPOT" inside the event discussion. You'll be confirmed later & will get 5minutes to start off with. Anybody can sign up!
**Q: What about these seats?**
A : We have enough seats for everyone but the first come first served rule applies! Especially since Kon-Tiki Comedy is popular, often it is packed inside, so come early for good seats. What's early? Anything before 19:00 & you will have your seat of choice.
**Q : What about the late show?**
Depending on the turnout a late show is also available most of the time, please check the ticket page to see if there is a late show option. Basically if you can buy tickets to the late show, it's happening, if it's not an option for a ticket it's not! Both shows might be consolidated into one if there's not enough ticket sold for the late show. In this case you will recieve an e-mail telling you so.
**Q : Can I refund my ticket?**
There are no refunds allowed because it becomes too much work for a simple Comedy Open Mic, so only buy your ticket if you know you're for sure going to be able to make it. But if for some reason you can't make it, you are welcome to use your ticket for any future Kon-Tiki Comedy Shows. Just write an e-mail to exchange.
**Q : Can I buy tickets at the door?**
No please don't. Technically we can but it complicates everything, so just buy them online. Just to persuade you NOT to ask to buy at the door: Tickets at the door are 15.-CHF. Please buy online : )
**Q: Will it be funny?**
A : You betcha. You can't do a regular show since 2018 & not be funny.
**Any other questions:**
Email: theamericanstandupshow@gmail.com with the title "Kon-Tiki Comedy"
But if it's any of the questions covered by the FAQ above, I will still answer it, *but first I will insult you.*
**Legal Disclaimer:** Comedians may film their sets as well as the audience during the comedy show. By buying a ticket you consent to being filmed in this public space. If you ever have a problem with any clip published online you are very welcome to contact us & ask to have it removed, we are happy to accomodate you. Thank you for your understanding.

Zurich Kundalini Yoga/Meditation (Donation Basis)
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 studentâs 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.â
**HAPPINESS is our TRUE Nature, which comes from within not from outside !**
Impact Over Perfection â A Practical Approach to Accessibility
Accessibility often feels overwhelming with all its guidelines, standards and edge cases. But in practice, meaningful improvements donât 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.
Youâll walk away with a practical mindset and actionable ideas to start improving accessibility in your own projects â without waiting for the âperfectâ solution.

**Abstract**
Like it or not, AI agents are now capable of turning a quickly written paragraph of requirements into a pull request that is ready to be integrated into real-world production applications and it's now our responsibility to make sure AI doesn't go rogue and take down prod - or corrupt our data by misunderstanding the requirements or our existing schemas. In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod.
