Fast Friending - Make Meaningful Connections! (25-45/Bring a lady free)
As adults, meeting new people isn’t as easy as it used to be. Between busy schedules and shrinking social circles, it can feel hard to form fresh connections—and while we’re constantly interacting online, it rarely matches the warmth and depth of a real, face-to-face conversation.
That’s where our Fast Friending Evening comes in. It’s all about genuine, in-person connections with like-minded ladies and gents in the city. Just show up, be yourself, and enjoy an evening of effortless conversations and meaningful new connections.
**You will need to buy a ticket for attending -**
[https://zurich7thmar.eventbrite.co.uk](https://zurich7thmar.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\.

Move, Dance and Stay Fit to Afrobeats!
[Public Event][Multiple Film Screenings & Talk][Free Entry] Palestinian Land Day
This is an announcement to a public event hosted by [Zentralwäscherei](https://www.instagram.com/explore/locations/108133731078043/zentralwascherei/?e=08b9f262-7b74-471f-bae2-1825b178d7cc&g=5).
The event is free entry so no tickets needed.
As the 50th anniversary of Palestinian Land Day approaches on March 30th, we invite you to a film screening and input reflecting on land as the heart of the Palestinian struggle for liberation; its fragmentation, dispossession, and the Palestinian people’s steadfast resistance to ongoing Zionist settlement and land grab.
Since October 2023, forced displacement has intensified across Gaza, the West Bank, and Jerusalem, alongside the ongoing brutal genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza. This event situates today’s Zionist aggression within a longer history of erasure, expulsion, and forced dispossession.
**PROGRAM:**
✦ Ma’loul Celebrates its Destruction \(1984\) by Michel Khleifi \| 32 min
✦ Yom al\-Ard \(2019\) by Monica Maurer \| 15 min
✦ Masafer Yatta: Forced from Home \(2023\)\, by Médecins Sans Frontières \(MSF\) \| 11 min
The film program will be followed by an input and Q&A with scientist and activist Nihad Ben Salah, who will share her experience of volunteering with the Masafer Yatta Solidarity Alliance (MYSA), and witnessing the escalation of settler violence in the southern hills of al-Khalil after the „ceasefire“ in October 2025.

Open Sharing Circle ✨ (English)
Open Sharing Circle ✨
This circle will be held in English.
We come together to be present and to show up as we truly are.
The intention is to share in a safe and trusting space — thoughts, emotions, goals, opinions — whatever feels alive for you in the moment.
No one has to share, and everyone is welcome to.
⸻
What is it about?
• Strengthening self-awareness & self-trust
• Personal growth
• Building deep relationships & trust
• Getting to know people on a genuine, human level
• Feeling free to express yourself authentically
⸻
Circle Agreements
Free & voluntary
You are welcome to share anything you like — and you don’t have to share anything.
Speak from your own experience
Share from your personal perspective: your experiences, thoughts, feelings, and perceptions.
The space holder may gently support this by placing a hand on their chest as a signal.
Respect & confidentiality
We meet each other with respect and without judgment.
What is shared in the circle stays in the circle.
Talking object
Only the person holding the talking object speaks. Clarifying questions are welcome.
Sharing time & space
Take your time when sharing, and also leave space for others.
Advice & support
Speak for yourself and offer advice only with consent.
Please ask explicitly if you would like to receive advice or support.
Triggers & emotions
Everyone is responsible for their own feelings and topics.
Strong emotions (e.g., crying) are welcome and respected. Support is offered only if desired.
Personal needs
Please take care of your own needs (bathroom, food, etc.) and respect the group space.
Space holders
The organizing team selects space holders who support the flow of the circle and help maintain the agreements.
The circle may be gently paused if needed.
Focus round
The space holder may intuitively initiate a short focus round if it feels supportive.
Mobile phones
Please keep your phone on silent and use it only for notes if needed.
Time
Duration: approx. 3 hours.
You may leave at any time, ideally during the breaks (about every 45 minutes).
After the circle, there is space to stay, connect, or continue sharing if you feel like it.

Adventures in Ecological Horticulture
with Rebecca McMackin
Wednesday, March 18
1:00pm - 2:30pm
Gone are the days when a garden could be ornamental alone. We now recognize the impact that our land care practices have on the ecosystems around us, and can see the importance of encouraging biodiversity. Thankfully, we do not need to sacrifice beauty when we invite butterflies and songbirds into our gardens.
Rebecca McMackin has cultivated gorgeous landscapes in the toughest environments possible: urban parks, school playgrounds, and the sidewalks of New York City. She will take lessons from her work at Brooklyn Bridge Park, the Brooklyn Museum, and decades of research to share how those of us who are fortunate enough to care for land, can do it beautifully and ecologically.
Rebecca McMackin is an ecologically obsessed horticulturist and garden designer. She writes, lectures, and teaches on ecological landscape management and pollination ecology, as well as designs the rare public garden.
She is currently Lead Horticulturist for the American Horticultural Society, an Associate with the Harvard Divinity School’s Thinking with Plants and Fungi Initiative, and Consulting Arboretum Curator for Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx, NY.
Rebecca spent a decade as Director of Horticulture of Brooklyn Bridge Park, where she managed 85 acres of diverse parkland organically. Their research into cultivating urban biodiversity and ethical management strategies has influenced thousands of people and entire urban parks systems to adopt similar approaches.
She has been published by and featured in the New York Times, Gardens Illustrated, on NPR and PBS. Her garden for the Brooklyn Museum recently won the PPA’s Award of Excellence and her TED Talk has been viewed over a million times. She holds M.Sc. from Columbia University and University of Victoria in landscape design and biology and recently completed the Loeb Fellowship at the
Harvard Graduate School of Design.
This program is presented in partnership with Rooted in Bexley and generously funded by the Bexley Community Foundation and Bexley Community Author Series Fund.

Humanist Program: Fighting the Efforts to Insert Religion into Public Education
The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event.
Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk.
Our March speakers are Molly Gaines and Zack Parrish, co-organizers of the Secular Education Association:
They will share their story of how a small group of Ohio parents grew into a national organization tracking released-time religious instruction and other church–state issues in public schools. The presentation will cover SEA’s early wins and hard lessons, what we’re seeing nationally right now, and how local advocates can play a meaningful role in protecting public education. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of the landscape — and practical ways to get involved.
Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online
