**Czy doświadczasz jednego lub więcej objawów?** * Obniżony nastrój i brak energii * Problemy ze snem * Gonitwa myśli i niepoków * Napięciowe bóle głowy albo ból brzucha ze stresu? * Niskie libido * Rozdrażnienie **Na tym wprowadzającym warsztacie:** **Zrozumiesz** Emocje żyją w naszym ciele w równym stopniu co w naszym umyśle. Na warsztacie dowiesz się więcej na temat związku stresu, depresji czy lęków z fizycznymi dolegliwościami, takimi jak trudności z zasypianiem. **Poćwiczysz** Nauczymy się prostych ćwiczeń, które pomogą ci wyjść z głowy i lepiej poczuć ciało i emocje w nim żyjące. To nie są ćwiczenia fitness tylko nauka czucia i wyrażania emocji przez ciało. Praktyki są wynikiem ponad 20 lat pracy Aleksandra Lowena z pacjentami terapeutycznymi. **Wyregulujesz** Jednym z celów ćwiczeń somatycznych jest regulacja emocji i poprawa samopoczucia. Dążymy do tego, żeby czuć się spokojniej i mieć więcej energii. Jeśli będziesz regularnie wykonywać ćwiczenia poprawi się twój nastrój i samopoczucie. **Ćwiczenia lowenowskie: czego się spodziewać?** Metoda Lowena, zwana Analizą Bioenergetyczną to metoda psychoterapii przez ciało stosowana od lat 50. XX wieku. Jej twórca, psychiatra i terapeuta Alexander Lowen inspirował się klasyczną psychoanalizą Freuda i w oparciu o prace Wilhelma Reicha stworzył własną szkołę terapii psychodynamicznej. W tej metodzie terapii łączymy rozmowę z uważnością na sygnały z ciała oraz wyrażaniem emocji przez ruch i ekspresję. Metoda jest stale rozwijana i unowocześniana, czerpie m.in. z teorii przywiązana, wiedzy o systemie nerwowym czy traumie. Poza indywidualną terapią popularne są również grupy i warsztaty ćwiczeń lowenowskich. Mają one charakter rozwojowy i mogą być stosowane przez osoby zdrowe a także uzupełniająco przez osoby w terapii “mówionej” (po uzgodnieniu z terapeut/ką). **Twoja prowadząca:** Anka Grzywacz jest doradczynią bioenergetyczną (metody Lowena) SGfBA, po dwuletnim szkoleniu w Niemczech. Obecnie kontynuuje na IV roku szkolenie z psychoterapii ciała (analiza bioenergetyczna, metoda Lowena). Należy do International Institute for Bioenergetic Analysis. Swoją pracę poddaje regularnej superwizji. Ponadto Anka ma bogate doświadczenie i 1,5 roku szkolenia w zakresie prowadzenia warsztatów (Szkoła Warsztatu i Treningu Psychologicznego INTRA w Warszawie). Jest również seksuolożką. **Informacje praktyczne:** * Przytulne studio w pobliżu przystanku Triemli. * Mała grupa maksymalnie 7 osób (wszyscy bez względu na płeć). * Warsztaty otwarte dla wszystkich bez względu na płeć. Wiek od 18 lat. * Studio ma utrudnienia dostępu (można do niego wejść tylko po schodkach w dół). **Przeciwwskazania:** * Ciąża. * Historia epizodów psychotycznych lub przyjmowanie leków przeciwpsychotycznych. * Osoby przyjmujące leki przeciwdepresyjne mogą uczestniczyć w warsztatach, ale tylko wtedy, gdy czują się wystarczająco stabilne. Sugeruję najpierw skonsultować się z terapeut/ką lub psychiatrą. Praca somatyczna w grupie może być cennym uzupełnieniem psychoterapii opartej na rozmowie, pod warunkiem, że czujesz się stabilnie. * Wrażliwość na hałas, tupanie (niektóre osoby uwalniają emocje, wydając głośne dźwięki, niektóre ćwiczenia obejmują tupanie lub kopanie). * Jeśli masz inne poważne schorzenia lub przyjmujesz silne leki, proszę najpierw porozmawiaj z lekarzem lub wyślij mi wiadomość w celu wstępnej oceny. Tu opinia jednej z klientek: *“Miałam przyjemność pracować z Anką podczas sesji ćwiczeń somatycznych i jestem pod ogromnym wrażeniem jej wiedzy i podejścia. Od samego początku spokojne i intuicyjne wskazówki Anki sprawiły, że poczułam się całkowicie swobodnie. Starannie dostosowała sesję do moich potrzeb, udzielając jasnych instrukcji i tworząc bezpieczne, sprzyjające środowisko, które pozwoliło mi się całkowicie zrelaksować i połączyć z moim ciałem. Głębokie zrozumienie zasad somatycznych przez Ankę było oczywiste, a jej umiejętność delikatnego prowadzenia mnie przez każdy ruch sprawiła, że poczułam się bardziej świadoma, ugruntowana i jakby młodsza. Gorąco polecam Ankę wszystkim, którzy chcą zgłębiać ćwiczenia somatyczne lub pogłębiać połączenie między umysłem a ciałem"* **Bilety:** Podana cena to 62 CHF, została tak podana, żebym mogła wziąć na siebie prowizję systemu rezerwacyjnego. Pełna cena przy kasie wyniesie ok. 65 CHF. Bilety są bezzwrotne. Jeśli się rozchorujesz i przedstawisz zaświadczenie lekarskie, mogę przepisać Cię na podobny warsztat w kolejnych miesiącach. Ilość zapisów może nie odzwierciedlać rzeczywistości, gdyż warsztaty są ogłaszane w kilku miejscach. Obowiązuje zasada "kto pierwszy, ten lepszy" (w przypadku rezerwacji ponad limit obowiązuje lista oczekujących, w razie potrzeby zostanie zaproponowany dodatkowy termin lub zwrot wpłaty).

Viele Menschen kennen diesen inneren Kampf. Ein ständiges Dagegen. Gegen Gedanken. Gegen Gefühle. Gegen sich selbst. Man bemüht sich, versteht, hält durch. Nach aussen funktioniert alles. Doch innen bleibt Spannung. Ein Druck. Eine leise, anhaltende Erschöpfung. In dieser Samstagsgruppe geht es nicht darum, noch mehr zu analysieren oder sich weiter anzustrengen. Wir arbeiten auf einer Ebene, die dem Denken vorausgeht. Dort, wo innerer Widerstand entsteht – und wo er auch nachlassen kann. Was dabei geschieht, lässt sich nur schwer erklären. Aber es lässt sich erfahren. Oft überraschend unmittelbar. Oft deutlich entlastend. 👉 **Ein kurzes Video gibt einen Einblick in diese Arbeit:** [das unbewusste](https://youtu.be/D1ak1AxhSYA) Weitere Informationen findest du hier: 🌐 [selbstwert-trainer.ch](www.selbstwert-trainer.ch) Du musst nichts vorbereiten. Nichts erzählen. Nichts leisten. Du darfst einfach da sein und schauen, was sich zeigt. 📍 **Ort:** Praxis Ruoss Stampfli, Else Züblin-Strasse 15, 8047 Zürich 🕒 **Zeit:** Samstag, 10:00–12:00 Uhr 💰 **Beitrag:** Kollekte 📩 **Anmeldung:** per WhatsApp an **076 419 25 72**

Hares are Slippery Digit and Squatty Potty. Come join us for a Saturday Winterfest Revival Run! **Where**: Uitikon! What a con indeed. We will chase the highs and more highs, surrounded hopefully still by beautiful snow and views of the mountains in the surrounding area of Uitikon. Meeting point is the Migros parking lot right next to the Zentrum Waldegg Bus stop, check meetup maps for directions. **When:** We'll meet at 1:50 pm to start at 2:00 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.

Leiden Sie unter einem oder mehreren der folgenden Symptome? 🌿 Traurigkeit und Energielosigkeit 🌿 Überforderung und Stress 🌿 Schlafstörungen Probieren Sie somatische Übungen aus, um den Kopf freizukriegen und Ihre Emotionen zu regulieren! Hierbei handelt es sich nicht um ein Fitnessprogramm, sondern um eine Körper-Geist-Übung. Bioenergetische Übungen wurden in den 1950er Jahren von dem Psychiater und Therapeuten Alexander Lowen erfunden, der von der klassischen Psychoanalyse beeinflusst war, aber das Gefühl hatte, dass etwas fehlte – der Körper. Der Körper reagiert auf Stress und Traumata mit Anspannung, die sogar schmerzhaft sein kann. Wir fühlen uns steif und von unseren Gefühlen getrennt, sogar taub. Die Bewegungen sind einfach und sollen Ihnen helfen, Ihre Gefühle zu verstehen und zu regulieren. Dadurch können Sie besser mit Stress, Angst oder schlechter Stimmung umgehen. Nehmen Sie mit mir am nächsten Workshop für bioenergetische Übungen in Zürich teil! Wir treffen uns in einem gemütlichen Studio in der Nähe des Bahnhofs Triemli. Die Teilnehmerzahl ist auf 7 Personen begrenzt. Dieses Seminar findet in Hochdeutsch statt. Sie erhalten eine Stunde Theorie plus zwei Stunden sanfte Übungen und Gruppendiskussionen. Betrachten Sie es als einen Workshop zum Aufbau Ihrer eigenen mentalen Belastbarkeit, den Sie in Momenten der Traurigkeit, Überforderung oder Stress nutzen können. **Hinweis:** Wenn Sie in der Vergangenheit psychotische Episoden hatten oder Schwierigkeiten haben, mit Wut umzugehen, ist der Workshop möglicherweise nicht das Richtige für Sie. Eine individuelle Therapie ist besser. Wenn Sie antipsychotische Medikamente einnehmen, ist der Workshop ebenfalls nicht das Richtige für Sie. Wenn Sie an Epilepsie leiden, ist der Workshop ebenfalls nicht das Richtige für Sie. Wenn Sie schwanger sind, sollten Sie einige Monate warten, bis das Baby auf der Welt ist. Wenn Sie sehr geräuschempfindlich sind, beachten Sie bitte, dass die TeilnehmerInnen während dieser Workshops manchmal schreien, um ihre Emotionen auszudrücken. Depressionen oder viele andere psychische Probleme sind keine Kontraindikationen, aber für den Workshop sollten Sie sich stabil fühlen (mit Medikamenten und/oder Therapie). Diese Übungen können eine gute Ergänzung zur reinen Gesprächstherapie sein, aber am besten sprechen Sie zuerst mit Ihrem Therapeuten oder Psychiater. Wenn Sie Zweifel haben, schreiben Sie mir eine Nachricht zu Ihrer speziellen Situation. Hinweis zum Ticket: Der sichtbare Preis beträgt 62 CHF, und der endgültige Preis beim Bezahlen liegt bei etwa 65 CHF. Ich habe den sichtbaren Preis reduziert, da dies die einzige Möglichkeit für mich ist, die Reservierungsgebühren zu übernehmen.

**Walk description:** The hike starts at Meziken train station at 8:45. We will then walk to Sempachersee. We must reach it before 3 p.m. if we want to get to the Fastnacht Umzug on time. We will probably take a shorter path than the Komoot route. The section between point 4 and the end can be skipped if we decide not to visit Sursee city center. It depends on whether we are quick or slow. You need to be fit and have good hiking shoes [von Menziken nach Schenkon | Wanderung | Komoot](https://www.komoot.com/de-de/tour/2764315384?share_token=asrbWUsG0C4w3DtDuMTvzmyrzlaO9M8QupAp1nxtYqgupLUgOl&ref=wtd) **Fastnacht:** Here you have the programm.

A space to return to what is essential We invite you to take part in a ritual gathering for men, created for those who feel the call to pause, breathe, and reconnect with their inner strength in a safe and authentic space. We gather in the forest, around the grandfather fire, to share ceremonial cacao and form a circle of presence, listening, and brotherhood. This is not a workshop, nor a talk, nor a “self-improvement” experience. It is a living space of encounter, where each man is welcome exactly as he is. There are no hierarchies here, no masks to wear. Only men walking their own path, supported by the strength of the circle. **Who is this gathering for?** * This circle is open to men who: * Seek a more honest connection with themselves. * Feel the desire to inhabit their masculinity with greater awareness and maturity. * Value silence, authentic speech, and presence. * Wish to experience brotherhood beyond competition or judgment. * Are willing to listen and to be listened to. * No previous experience with circles, rituals, or spiritual practices is required. Only a willingness to be present. **What we will experience together** During this gathering of approximately two hours, we will move through simple yet profound practices, guided with care and clarity: * Ceremonial Cacao Circle, Cacao as a heart medicine, supporting openness, listening, and authentic expression. * Sacred Fire, The grandfather fire as the center of the gathering, witness to our intentions and processes. * Meditation and Presence, Moments of silence and inner connection, held by the group. * Talking Circle, A safe space to share from truth, without advice or judgment. * Connection with Nature: The forest as a living temple that reminds us of what truly matters. * Expression and Rhythm: An optional moment of music, song, or percussion to integrate the experience. Each gathering honors the energy of conscious masculinity, integrating strength and sensitivity, direction and openness. **Practical information** Duration: Approximately 2 hours Location: Forests of Zurich (The exact location is shared after registration) Energy exchange: Single ticket: 30 CHF Brothers ticket (2 people): 50 CHF Places are limited to preserve the quality and intimacy of the circle. **What to bring** * A cup for ceremonial cacao * A water bottle * Wood for the fire * An offering for the altar (fruit, seeds, a photo, or something that represents love and gratitude) * Notebook and pen * Musical instrument (optional) * Comfortable, warm clothing for outdoor conditions * Something light to eat after the gathering * We recommend fasting for at least 2 hours beforehand, as we will be working with ceremonial cacao. * A held and conscious space * This gathering is held with respect, confidentiality, and presence.

It is a zero effort practice of surrendering to all that is. Generally practiced lying down, yoga nidra brings you to a state of deep relaxation, allowing body and mind to restore. Yoga Nidra helps to disengage from thoughts and emotions and release anxiety and anger. It can also improve sleep, release tension and reverse symptoms of trauma and exhaustion. **​** **Sound Healing** **​** Sound healing is a gentle and powerful way to reach places in the body that are otherwise impossible to get to. Tibetan singing bowls bring immediate relaxation to body and mind, helping to disengage from thoughts and come into the present moment. Sound healing can help release tension and reduce the hold of stress, pain, fatigue, fear and other difficult emotions. Singing bowl vibrations help to bring us to an optimal state for self- healing.

Welcome cold lovers! We have been practising cold water plunges for over 4 years. We believe in the benefits of cold water exposure. The feeling you get after the swim is magnificent, it makes you feel alive. We have started this group to safely experience the cold water together. We motivate each other, do active warmup exercises, and also share our life stories with a warm coffee/tea afterwards. The event is every Sunday at 11:30, we meet at the Mythenquai Badi entrance no matter the weather. Take along: a large towel, comfortable bathing suit, flip-flops, and warm clothes (hat, gloves, etc). If you’re planning swimming out take along a bright swim buoy. The event is Free. IMPORTANT: Every participant takes responsibility for themselves when attending this event. Before attempting cold water exposure, individuals with health conditions (e.g., heart problems or hypertension) should seek advice from a healthcare professional. Safely acclimating the body to cold temperatures requires preparation and gradual exposure.

We combine some form of movement (hike, walk, run, bike, yoga, workout) and meaningful conversation within a simple community circle to create a space where individuals can support each other while prioritizing mental and physical well-being. Whether you’re seeking stress relief, personal growth, or community, our groups offer everyone a unique and welcoming environment. ## **Why Join?** * **Improve Mental & Physical Well-Being** – Movement, nature, and supportive conversations reduce stress and promote balance. * **Feel Less Alone** – Build genuine connections with like-minded people in a safe, welcoming space. * **Gain Clarity & Perspective** – Step outside daily routines and into a space designed for personal growth and reflection. ## **The Ideal Group Leader** The ideal group leader * Has a born-in passion for mental health, movement, connecting with nature and building community. * Has 5 extra hours per week to dedicate to a meaningful cause for at least one year.

Mental Health, how do you understand it? How can you improve it? How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went? Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence? Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp. This group is hosted by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
