### **Sip and COLOR** GIRLHOOD!! Treat yourself to a creative break from everyday life and join us for our **Sip and Paint Ladies' Night** , which takes place every Thursday. This evening is all yours: relax, chat, get creative, and enjoy a good drink. Completely stress-free and without pressure to perform – just a great atmosphere and inspiring company. This Thursday, something especially calming awaits you: **a coloring session with high-quality OHUHU markers** . Choose from a variety of lovingly designed motifs – from sweet illustrations and floral designs to trendy kawaii or manga templates. Let the colors flow, find your own style, and watch your picture come to life, step by step. A variety of color palettes and markers are available, allowing you to work in exactly the way that feels right for you. Whether you prefer soft pastels, bold colors, or harmonious gradients – you decide how your artwork will look. No prior experience is necessary. Our Sip and Color Ladies' Night isn't about being perfect, but simply about getting started and enjoying the creative process. I'll guide you step by step, show you simple techniques for beautiful color gradients, and give you helpful tips. After that, you can experiment freely and immerse yourself completely in your artwork. Of course, the "sip" is an essential part of any Sip & Color event: **drinks are included** and ensure a relaxed, informal atmosphere. To select: * Red wine / White wine * Non-alcoholic beer * Cola * Fruit juice * Tea * Water While you color, you can chat with other participants, laugh, meet new people, or simply enjoy the quiet, creative time. The rhythmic coloring has an almost meditative effect and helps you switch off and recharge. The combination of colors, conversation, and relaxing music makes this evening the perfect little midweek escape – ideal for treating yourself or dropping by with a friend. Leave everyday life behind, immerse yourself in a world of color, and go home at the end of the evening with your own artwork and a smile.

Every year the Zurich Friends of Haskell meet for a general assembly as per the [statutes of the association](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-8eHAK40hiH5jv79AscWtf3pyUNxx4Ls1LwkpLYK--8/edit?usp=sharing). The purpose of the Zurich Friends of Haskell is to organize ZuriHac and the HaskellerZ meetup. The general assembly gives you the opportunity to learn what the association has been doing in the year 2025 and to contribute to ZuriHac, the HaskellerZ meetup, and the Haskell community in Zurich. The general assembly is open to all members of the ZFoH. If you are not a member yet, please head over to [the ZFoH website](https://zfoh.ch) and sign up for membership. The agenda is as follows: 1. The board will present a summary of the association's activities in 2025. 2. The treasurer will present the financial report for 2025. 3. We vote to discharge the board for their work in 2025. 4. We will discuss the goals and aspirations of the association for 2026. 5. We will elect the board for the years 2026 & 2027. Please let us know if you have further topics you would like to discuss. Note: members of the ZFoH will receive a separate invitation via email. Please RSVP to this meetup event anyway so we get an accurate picture of who will be attending. Thank you! Looking forward to seeing you at the GA! PS: We'll be holding a regular HaskellerZ meetup right after the general assembly, to be announced as a separate Meetup event. Please RSVP for that event separately once it is announced.

Location: https://goo.gl/maps/9DycsJDAFRMiCAQX8?g_st=ac Just when you thought you could stash the thermal leggings and show some skin - surprise! Winter took one look at your pasty knees and decided to cum again... This week’s trail promises the full Game of Thrones experience: cold winds, possible snow, and the vague sense that nobody will survive past the beer stop. Hares have bravely marked a scenic route through what used to be “springtime” but now promises to be full of that white sticky stuff we all love. Expect shiggy, frozen fingers, and the chance to reflect on your life choices while wondering if hot mulled wine counts as a balanced electrolyte replacement. Circle will be in the Platz next to Wipkingen Bahnhof and on-after will be Gelateria di Berna. **Where**: Wipkingen Bahnhof Mobility car **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.

Let‘s kick off our first food science Dinnerparty with a swiss classic: Capunz! We‘ll do a traditional version and then look at different scientific techniques to translate the recipe into a delicious vegan dish. Participation requires a short vibe check by me (phone or text), to avoid inviting debate-bros, MLM-people, cryptospammers and right-wingers.

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.

**Join us for a refreshing Saturday morning cold-water swim at Katzensee!** We’ll meet at **9:00 AM** at the usual spot by the lake, do a short warm-up, and then go into the water together. All levels are welcome — beginners and experienced winter swimmers. **What to bring:** * warm hat * towel * water shoes (optional) * warm clothes for after the swim * a thermos with tea (optional) We’ll swim for a short time, enjoy the fresh morning energy, and warm up together afterwards. If you’re ready to start your weekend with nature, cold water, and good people — join us!

We are excited to host Guided Meditations on Sundays at 6 pm in our Ashram/Gallery/Home! !! !! Everyone wants to know what kind of God we worship and what kind of meditation we do. We worship the GOD that LOVES US! We understand that god is an energy and it lives in us as us. Our meditations guide others to actually experience that energy! xoxo We don't just talk about peace, love and affection, we experience it :) Also we are a home not a business, so we enjoy building community one friend at a time.

5:45-7:45 in Conference Room B, Library lower level. Bring your yarn projects, meet new friends. If you plan to attend, please RSVP yes. If you can’t attend, please change your RSVP to no. This helps anyone who is waitlisted and it allows me to have an accurate count of attendees as our space is quite limited. Plenty of parking in the lot, in the overflow lot across the street, and on the street. See you there! Winter Note: If the weather is bad and I have to cancel the Meetup, i will issue the cancellation not later than 3 p.m. of that day.

Private Group. Closed to the Public Knowing ourselves and understanding our abilities is the first step toward wielding our gifts with control and accuracy. In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected. The goal of our series will be to develop expertise in areas of particular interest such as mediumship, channeling, divination, healing and, etc.. Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve. I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia
