**ABOUT US:**
**Why?** **fun** **offline meaningful connections**! Have **fun** meeting **new friends** & **existing friends** thus building your **community.** Its scientifically proven that **offline** **human connections** make us **happy** and **healthy** (more on this below)
**Where?** Zürich's most famous and beautiful **garden** \- Frau Gerolds garden\!
**How?**
**Disconnect** your phone & Connect with people in a **free** and **super-fun** event! These recurring events create a "fixed" community without any specific reasons for connection (like interests, genders, age or countries). **Everyone is welcome**! The event is that **simple**😀
* 🌴NEW: in most beautiful **garden** in central Zürich that comes with its own bar
* **🥇** **New comer area** for first-time-atendees with ice-breaker questions (optional area, in case you want to talk to first-time attendees)
* 👭 **meet like-minded** **friends** by **voting** your favorite discussion topics - the top 5 will be turned into topic-based tables!
* 🃏 **Fun social games** (read game names below)
* **🎲 Mindful Connection Games** from [The School of Life](https://www.theschooloflife.com/shop/?_product_type=games-card-sets) with games and questions that go deeper in connection (game names below). Grab a game and start playing.
* 👬 or simply **hang-out** and **meet new & old friends** **without** a process
.
**IMPORTANT:**
* **Why so many options above for connection?** We always have: a first-timer area, Fun social games, Mindful games, ice-breaker questions or simply just talk freely to anyone. Often we add: Speed-friending and a Music jam. We believe **you are unique** and each of us prefers different ways of connection. Also we want to provide an opportunity for everyone to try something new
* **Easy and "Safe":** We have the whole location reserved for us so its safe to open up and meet new friends (unlike bars in Zürich where people find it strange if strangers talk to them). Christos and volunteers will also help with connection. Read more info below.
* **Christos** (see [PHOTO](https://photos.app.goo.gl/pdtVaVGCyDEJ28uE8)) and our co-organisers will be wearing name budges and will aim to **welcome** **everyone.**
* **Thank YOU** for being so open in meeting new people and making 50+ events with 7500+ attendees in 2.5+ years happen!
* more info via our **[LINKS](http://linktr.ee/connectionspace)**

* 95% of people come **solo** \- you can too❤️

* **It works**! We heard of many new friendships, living together and even getting a new job
* For **volunteering** for free please msg Christos 0768175380. We can provide free drinks for your service
.
**TIPS on HOW TO CONNECT:**
* **Look out for a good smile/vibe** in a person/group of 2-3 people and say "Hi my name is xxx, can I join?".
* **Try something different** (person, game, table, activity) often until you find **fun** **quality connection**
* **Ask** **Support:** we understand going out to meet friends can be a stretch. We make this easy with a fun and safe event. Also you can ask for help from our clearly communicated (see photos of this event) "**People Connectors**" who can help you discreetly to connect with others
* **Invest time**(not quickly just come by) as friendships are an investment
* **Come back**: big turnaround, people come randomly at each event, so you never know who you ll meet

**ABOUT US:** **(in detail)**
.
.
**WHY Connection Space**?
* ... we ❤️ **uniting people** while having **fun!** We make the world better by enabling **fun quality offline connections** & building **community!**
* ... we truly believe **Human Connections** is what we truly **deeply crave** for and what we truly **need** so we can be **happy** and **healthy**! This is proven by data in [ANCIENT HISTORY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kg_47J6sy3A), in [MODERN HISTORY](https://www.kiltrohealth.com/blog/blue-zones-social-connection-the-secret-to-longevity-and-well-being) and also scientifically proven by [HARVARD ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KkKuTCFvzI)in an 87 year old study. Yes this makes you [HEALTHY](https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/relationships-boost-survival/#:~:text=Overall%252C%2520social%2520support%2520increases%2520survival,%252Da%252Dday%2520smoking%2520habit) and is what you really need - the other things are not as important as society tells you.
.
* **WHAT is Connection Space?**
Imagine a co-working space where everyone is with headphones, laptops, mostly being 'alone' all day ...
or a cafe/restaurant/bar where pretty much all people talk to people they already know..
.
The **"Connection Space"** is exactly the opposite of that; its a **fun** social environment outside family and work, a cultural exchange, where we **unite** and hangout with **new and old friends** as **one community**.
.
Thats it.
.
No to phones, laptops, zoom-calls, books
No to a specific reason to get together (eg. only for specific hobbies, genders, age groups, languages etc)
No to just talking to your friends
Not a dating, not a party, not an expat-only meetup
NO to division (political racial gender etc)
.
Yes to simple and real in-person connection with new and old friends
YES TO FUN! We got many optional activities for you to try out
Yes to feeling like home & come as you are
Yes to unity, love and respect for one another
Yes to eating, drinking and music
Yes to everyone-is-welcome & always-free events
YES to UNITY! Getting along with each other in spite of different opinions
.
Our events are **inspired** by the Greek village culture of "[Καφενείο](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kafenio)" (village coffeeshops) with photos [HERE](https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=569660528&sxsrf=AM9HkKlXnclaLfgcockKtdr9qHdmD5jaGw:1696060562834&q=greek+%CE%BA%CE%B1%CF%86%CE%B5%CE%BD%CE%B5%CE%B9%CE%BF&tbm=isch&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi52fX67dGBAxXnlf0HHZNiBHUQ0pQJegQICRAB&biw=1460&bih=913&dpr=2). When myself Christos was a kid, my granddad took me to these "[Καφενείο](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kafenio)". Every neighbourhood had one, and people met, without an exaggeration, on a daily-basis. It was the community center of the village. People met new and old friends, played games, socialised, ate snacks, drank coffee and ouzo. It was a very friendly, welcoming and homey environment. Unfortunately this concept is rapidly dying in Greece. As a kid I had extremely good memories of these coffeeshops, and for this reason I am passionate to revive and recreate this environment and also add a modern twist. Hope you enjoy it!
.
* **WHAT is NOT Connection Space? NOT** a drinks or party event (responsible drinking only, no shots, no free drinks). **NOT** a dating event. **NOT** foreigners-only, but everyone is welcome
* **What KIND of event is this?** Its a mix of **social** and **cultural event** that build **community**. We have many people from so many different cultures socialising, we promote culture with events with Art exhibitions and Live Music and we also revive the social culture of the Greek traditional village coffeeshop (Καφενείο - read more above).
* **WHO?** Wir wollen gerne mehr **Schweizer/innen** dabei haben! Alle sind willkommen und die meisten können Deutsch sprechen. Not an expat event. **Everyone welcome**!
* **Mindful Connection Games:** from [The School of Life](https://www.theschooloflife.com/shop/?_product_type=games-card-sets) available: Confessions Game, The Friendship Game, Connection Game, The Loser Game, Games for grown-ups and three sets of "100 questions" (Conversation Toolkit & Careers & Relationships)
* **Fun Social Games:** bring your own **board/card games** or choose from: Cards against humanity, Exploding Kittens, Codenames, Debatable, Sotally Tober, Taboo, Mafia, Uno, Monopoly and more.
.
Looking forward to **fun quality Connections**! 🙂

Nature Coaching Session
🌿 **Imagine finishing a peaceful walk in nature… feeling lighter, clearer, and deeply connected to yourself again.**
If something inside you is asking for space, clarity, or an emotional reset, this session may be exactly what you need.
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from your inner calm, this Nature Coaching Session offers a gentle space to pause and realign.
This is a **1:1 guided coaching walk in nature**, designed to help you slow down, reconnect with yourself, and hear your inner voice again.
Nature has a powerful way of softening the mind and opening deeper awareness. During our walk, you may experience:
• releasing built-up stress
• quieting the mental noise
• moving from overthinking into embodied presence
• accessing new perspectives and insights
• feeling grounded, supported, and more like yourself again
***You don’t need to prepare anything, just come as you are.***
Depending on what is alive for you, we may explore topics such as:
• finding clarity around a personal or emotional situation
• reconnecting with your inner voice and intuition
• navigating life transitions or uncertainty
• reducing overwhelm or anxiety
• identifying and shifting limiting beliefs
• cultivating deeper presence, self-trust, and inner peace
This is a **safe, compassionate space** where you can speak openly, reflect, and reconnect with what truly matters to you.
### How the session works
🌿 We meet in a beautiful natural location in **Zurich Seebach** (exact spot shared after booking).
🌿 The session lasts around **60 minutes**.
🌿 We walk at a relaxed pace — it’s not about distance, but about **presence and connection.**
🌿 During the walk you’ll receive gentle guidance, reflective questions, grounding practices, and intuitive coaching support.
🌿 **This session is offered on a donation basis.**
You’re invited to contribute an amount that feels aligned for you, based on the value you receive and what you’re able to give.

Fast Friending - Real Connections! (25-45/Ice Breakers)
Meeting new people as adults isn’t easy—busy lives and smaller circles make real connections harder to find, and online interactions rarely match face-to-face warmth.
Our Fast Friending Evening is designed to change that—bringing like-minded people together for genuine, in-person conversations. Just show up, be yourself, and leave with meaningful new connections.
**You will need to buy a ticket for attending -**
[https://zurich16thmay.eventbrite.co.uk](https://zurich16thmay.eventbrite.co.uk)
\*You can use any debit or credit card to purchase your ticket at PayPal checkout. It will ask you for your email address but that is only to send you a receipt. You do not need a PayPal account.
TICKETS:-
Early bird - CHF 10
Regular ticket - CHF 15
Cash at the meetup - If you have not purchased your ticket in advance then you can pay CHF 20 per person in cash on the day of the meetup to Neo (Please bring exact change)
'Fast friending' is our fun and quick way to help you make new connections quickly with both ladies and gentlemen. These are people in the age group of 25 and 45 and so you will be on a similar wavelength. Naturally you can always choose who to speak with based on your preference!
Here's how your evening is planned -
**7:00 PM – Welcome**
\- We will meet at 7\.00 pm when you will be welcomed by your host Neo\. She will manage the evening and also help you make connections\.
If you are a bit shy or anxious then please come early. Neo will help you meet other members in a small group and help you settle down and get comfortable. All attendees are also welcome to bring a lady friend along with them for free. This will make it a lot less stressful for you as you will always have your friend alongside.
**7:30 – 8:30 PM \| Fast Friending**
\- From 7\.30 to 8\.30 pm\, we will start 'Fast Friending' where our host will ask you to speak to a different attendee every 3 minutes\. You will be able to meet lots of ladies and gentlemen and not be limited to only those sitting or standing next you\.
**After 8:30 PM \| Open Mingling**
\- After 8\.30 pm you will have time to interact with those you have met as well as others\.
If you are a bit shy or anxious then please come early. Neo will help you meet other members in a small group and help you settle down and get comfortable.
\- We are not a close knit tight group\. Our evenings are warm and comfortable for members attending for the first time and those coming alone\. You will not feel alone\!
\- We have many groups in this city\. Members of our other groups who RSVP are included as guests of the organisers in order to give you an indication of expected people\.
\- This evening is for ladies and gents in the 25 to 45 age group\.
\- Our evenings are not about 'dating' or for 'romantic' connections\. 'Fast friending' is NOT 'Speed dating'\. 'Fast friending' is designed to help members meet other like minded ladies and gents\. It is about new friendships and connections\. Naturally\, new friendships can lead to dating or romantic connections\, but that is not our focus\.

De-Stress from Work with Somatic Exercises
[TICKETS FOR THIS EVENT ARE SOLD VIA EVERSPORTS](https://www.eversports.ch/org/activity/a3ac0cae-7fe8-4a6d-ae56-3961e0214445)
Stress is eating you up? Can't stop overthinking? And when you finally want to get some rest after a hard day at work, you can't sleep? Prolonged stress can seriously affect your health, even contributing to burnout.
The good news, there are many ways to reduce stress and keep it at a reasonable level. Somatic exercises help you regulate your nervous system, calm your body down, and release built-up tension.
The exercises are part of a body psychotherapy method created by doctor and therapist Alexander Lowen in the 1950s. We are guided by one key concept: our feelings are reflected in our bodies. And our bodies have the power to regulate our emotions and heal the mind.
Remember the last time you were extremely stressed? Chances are high you experienced it on a physical level. Sensations such as:
* Faster heartbeat
* Headache
* Tense shoulders
* The feeling of something sitting in your throat
* Stomach pains or nausea
* A sense of having soft and weak legs
These are just some of the examples of how our bodies react to stress.
[Research ](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5579396/)shows that chronic stress can have a negative impact on our heart, immune and digestive systems, hormones, and memory, to name but a few. According to a [review of various studies](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8458738/) body psychotherapy approaches may bring about the reduction in people’s psychological distress.
This workshop will give you easy tools to use when your stress levels rise. Deepening the practice at home will help you build stress resilience in the long run. The workshop will be especially useful for people who experience work-related stress but anyone can benefit from the practice.
What you'll learn and try out:
* You'll understand your own stress response better.
* You'll pay more attention to early stress signs and will be able to react before stress hits you hard.
* You'll try simple exercises to manage stress tension on the go, even during a coffee break at work, not just sitting on a meditation pillow in a quiet spa!
You'll gain the tools to build your lifelong stress resilience. We’ll cover the most common body symptoms and experiment with relevant somatic (bioenergetic) exercises for stress.
The workshop is open to participants of all genders.
**Your Facilitator**
Anka Grzywacz is a psychologist and body psychotherapist in training (final year of a 4.5-year training). She has extensive experience and 1.5 years of training in the facilitation of psychological workshops. She is also a sex therapist.:
