Al Aire Libre Club ☀️
**Al Aire Libre Club**
Son “gatherings creativos” de verano en la naturaleza para inspirarnos a través de conversaciones, journaling, juegos y actividades creativas al aire libre. ¿Y porque este espacio existe?… because girls just wanna have fun 🎶
**Primer encuentro de verano: LA INSPIRACIÓN**
La inspiración… esa que emerge en lo cotidiano.
Una frase de una película que nos mueve, una canción que despierta recuerdos, algo que nos atraviesa, un paisaje que nos devuelve la calma, un instante simple en el que sentimos que algo se despierta y se mueve dentro de nosotras.
Y ese impulso se siente como ganas: ganas de crear, de tomar una decisión, de darle forma a algo que tiene significado para nosotras.
**¿Cuál es la actividad para romper el hielo?**
En este encuentro creativo vamos a jugar con la inspiración...
Trae algo que te haya inspirado: una frase de un libro, una canción cuya letra te atraviese, un libro que te cambió la vida, un dije u objeto con un significado profundo para ti, una foto que amas o algo que hayas/estes creando.. ya sea físico, un concepto de un proyecto o algo que tú misma hayas escrito y sientas que ya es momento de compartir.
La idea es venir a dejar que ruja tu alma: compartir lo que traes y contarnos por qué es tan especial para ti.
* Queremos inspirarnos mutuamente, tener conversaciones auténticas y profundas.
* Que este sea un espacio donde nos enseñes un pedacito de ese mágico universo que habita en ti.
* Queremos conocerte a través de lo que te mueve, y que todas salgamos con los ojos llenos de estrellitas, listas para seguir creando más de eso que nos inspira.
**Trae:**
* Una manta o tela para sentarte
* Tu libreta y lápiz
* Una bebida para mantenerte hidratada (necesitamos ese cerebro prendido, creativo y presente)
* Algo para comer o compartir
* Y, obviamente, no olvides traer algo que te inspire (según la descripción de arriba)
Este espacio lo vamos a co-crear juntas.
**¿Te sumas?**
🗓 Sábado 20 de Junio
🕒 10:30 am – 13:00pm

Dinner will be served by candlelight, as the sun sets over Zurich’s rooftops, offering a moment of connection, celebration, and deep nourishment.

Flow • Breathe • Heal & Dine 🌿
This event is a little different from our usual Potlucks and Brunches.
For the past **4 years**, this has been one of our favorite summer traditions: a beautiful half-day urban retreat in the heart of Zurich, created to help you slow down, reconnect and nourish yourself on every level.
The evening begins with a gentle **Restorative Yoga** practice (suitable for all levels), followed by a deeply transformative **Conscious Connected Breathwork** journey and a soothing **Sound Bath**.
Afterwards, we'll gather around a beautifully set table in the garden for a homemade, 100% plant-based **Ayurvedic 6-course dinner**, enjoyed by candlelight as the sun slowly sets over Zurich. ✨
And because no Eat Positive event would be complete without something sweet, there will also be a delicious selection of **Raw Vegan Desserts**, as well as a little surprise gift waiting for you. 🤍
This is an invitation to pause, breathe, connect and savor the moment - an experience designed to nourish body, mind and soul.
🌟 **ONLY 2 SPOTS REMAINING!** 🌟
**Special for Eat Positive Switzerland Members:**
As a member of our community, you can still benefit from the **Early Bird price**, which means a **CHF 20 discount** on the regular ticket price.
To claim your discounted ticket, simply reach out to me (Iri) directly at **+41 75 443 93 49**. This special offer is not available through Eventfrog.
We can't wait to share this beautiful evening with you. 🌿

Open Sharing Circle ✨ (Deutsch)
Open Sharing Circle ✨
***
**Wichtig: Bitte sei pünktlich, damit der Austausch möglichst nicht gestört wird :)**
Wir sind draussen bei der Blatterwiese. Es wird sonnig und warm werden.
Zuerst machen wir einen Sharingcircle und danach klingen wir den Tag aus zusammen. Wenn du willst kannst du etwas zum Essen mitnehmen zum Teilen.
_____________
Dieser Circle findet auf Deutsch statt.
Wir kommen zusammen, um im Moment präsent zu sein und uns so zu zeigen, wie wir wirklich sind.
Die Intention ist, in einem sicheren und vertrauensvollen Raum zu teilen — Gedanken, Emotionen, Ziele, Meinungen — alles, was sich für dich im Moment lebendig anfühlt.
Niemand muss etwas teilen, und jede\*r ist willkommen.
⸻
Worum geht es?
• Stärkung von Selbstwahrnehmung & Selbstvertrauen
• Persönliches Wachstum
• Aufbau tiefer Beziehungen & Vertrauen
• Menschen auf einer echten, menschlichen Ebene kennenlernen
• Sich frei fühlen, sich authentisch auszudrücken
⸻

Frei & freiwillig
Du darfst alles teilen, was du möchtest — und musst nichts teilen.

Teile aus deiner persönlichen Perspektive: deine Erfahrungen, Gedanken, Gefühle und Wahrnehmungen.
Der Raumhalter kann dich dabei sanft unterstützen, indem er als Zeichen eine Hand auf die Brust legt.
Respekt & Vertraulichkeit
Wir begegnen uns respektvoll und ohne zu urteilen.
Was im Circle geteilt wird, bleibt im Circle.
Rede-Objekt
Nur die Person, die das Rede-Objekt hält, spricht. Verständnisfragen sind willkommen.

Nimm dir Zeit beim Teilen und lass gleichzeitig Raum für andere.
Ratschläge & Unterstützung
Sprich für dich selbst und gib Ratschläge nur mit Einverständnis.
Bitte frage ausdrücklich nach, wenn du Ratschläge oder Unterstützung möchtest.

Jede\*r ist für die eigenen Gefühle und Themen selbst verantwortlich.
Starke Emotionen (z. B. Weinen) sind willkommen und werden respektiert. Unterstützung wird nur angeboten, wenn sie gewünscht ist.
Eigene Bedürfnisse
Kümmere dich selbst um deine Bedürfnisse (WC, Essen usw.) und respektiere den Gruppenraum.
Raumhalter
Das Organisationsteam wählt Raumhalter, die den Ablauf des Circles unterstützen und darauf achten, dass die Vereinbarungen eingehalten werden.
Der Circle kann bei Bedarf sanft unterbrochen werden.
Fokusrunde
Der Raumhalter kann intuitiv eine kurze Fokusrunde initiieren, wenn es unterstützend wirkt.
Mobiltelefone
Bitte schalte dein Handy auf lautlos und nutze es nur für Notizen, falls nötig.
Zeit
Dauer: ca. 3 Stunden.
Du kannst jederzeit gehen, idealerweise während der Pausen (etwa alle 45 Minuten).

Meliink Sketch walk in Zurich
Hi everyone,
I'm organizing a small sketch walk in Zurich.
The idea is simple: we walk through a few beautiful spots in the city, stop to do fun drawing exercises, learn a few stories about the places and meet new people.
No drawing experience is needed at all. This is more about creativity and slowing down than making perfect art.
I'll provide paper and basic materials.
I'm doing the first one on **Sunday, 21st of June, from around 10 AM to 1 PM.**
After the walk, anyone who wants is welcome to join for a relaxed coffee and chat.
Everything will be in English, and absolute beginners are very welcome.
I enjoy sketching and exploring cities, and after living in Zurich for a while I thought it would be fun to bring those things together.
If this sounds interesting, join us!
Our first event will be a small group (6–8 people).
This is a pay-what-you-want activity. The ticket here is free to reserve your spot, and donations are welcome at the end of the walk via Cash or Twint.
See you soon!

Drunken Philosophy: Where Is Everybody? The Fermi Paradox and the Great Filter
Welcome to Drunken Philosophy, a casual, curious, social discussion club. Come grab a drink and a seat at The Oracle.
**Optional topic for this meetup: Where is everybody?**
In 1950 the physicist Enrico Fermi was talking about aliens over lunch and asked a question that still has not gone away: if the universe is so vast and so old, and even a fraction of those billions of stars have planets, where is everyone? By the numbers the galaxy should be crowded with civilizations. Instead we look up and hear silence. That gap between "they should be everywhere" and "we see no one" is the Fermi Paradox.
One of the most unsettling answers is the idea of a **Great Filter**: somewhere on the road from dead chemistry to a galaxy-spanning civilization, there is at least one step that is almost impossible to get past. Maybe the filter is behind us. Maybe life starting at all, or simple cells becoming complex, or intelligence ever evolving, is the freak accident, and we already cleared the hard part. Or maybe the filter is ahead of us, and advanced civilizations reliably wipe themselves out before they spread.
Here is the part that messes with people. If we ever found life somewhere else, even pond scum on Mars, most people would call it the greatest discovery in history. But it might be the worst possible news. It would mean life is common, the early steps are easy, and the hard step is still in front of us. So the eerie silence overhead might actually be the best sign we could ask for.
**Questions to wrestle with:**
* Is it better to be alone? Would you rather we find alien life and learn we are not special, or find nothing and quietly improve our odds of surviving?
* Where do you bet the filter sits, behind us or ahead of us, and why?
* If it is ahead of us, what is it? Nuclear war, climate collapse, AI, something we cannot even picture yet? And can we do anything about a filter we cannot see coming?
* Two principles pull opposite ways here. The principle of mediocrity (the Copernican principle, Sagan's "no privileged place in the universe") says we are ordinary, so what happened on Earth probably happened everywhere, which makes the silence scream louder. The anthropic principle says of course we find ourselves somewhere life was possible, since we could not observe anything else, so our being here may say almost nothing about how common life is. Which lens do you trust, and does the silence still demand an answer once you account for observer selection?
* And if we did confirm life out there and had to accept we are not special, what would that do to belief in a higher power, and would shedding (or keeping) that belief help or hurt our odds of pulling together as one species?
* Does any of this change how you live, or how humanity should be spending its time and money right now?
As always the prompt is optional. Come for the conversation, stay for the drinks, and bring your own questions.
Columbus Museum of Art, Free Admission Sundays
Let’s meet and wander the galleries! General admission on Sundays is free.
Wine Tasting - Newcomers Night
This is "***New Members Night***." If you are one of the many folks on the fence about coming to your first wine tasting with the *Hilliard Wine Club*, this is the night to come. There will be many other new people, so you won't be alone. And the regulars will be there to help make you feel welcome. We're a relaxed and warm group. We hope to see you.
**SIDE NOTE:** New members are welcome to ALL our Friday night wine tastings, but this night is a special overture to those who don't want to feel that they are the only new person in the room. Don't worry. You won't be. And don't hesitate to RSVP to other events.
**OLD MEMBERS NOTE**: Hey Old Members! You're not excluded from this event. We expect to see you there to help make the new members feel welcome.
**Sample 4 different wines** this Friday for $15 (*Cash or Venmo only please*). Glasses are provided. Bring a snack to share. Bring a bottle to share if you care to. See all the details below for the Hilliard Wine Club Wine Tasting. In Person. In Real Life. Actual Wine from glass bottles with corks and everything.
**Wine**: Tastings will be $15 for four samples as always. And you are welcome to bring a bottle of your favorite wine to share with others. Participation in the wine tastings is optional. But since you’re going, I will buy enough wine to cover you. If you bring your own wine and do not participate in the tasting you will only pay $10 to cover the door charge.
**Parking**: There are several public parking lots near the Alive614 hall. Please be careful to NOT park in private parking lots. They do tow. Check Google maps to scope out your space. Anyone who is early could easily find a parking space on the street nearby.
**Glasses**: …will be provided. Please note that after the wine tasting, the glasses need to be returned to the boxes at the service table. Please be gentle, our glasses are fragile. Uh, they are made of glass!
**Food**: You are welcome to bring a snack to share. It is not required. Most people do though. If no one brings anything, there will be nothing.
**Code of Conduct**: Though mostly understood, it’s still worth mentioning. We don’t have rules per se, but we highly discourage the following topics of discussion because they are likely to incite anti-social responses - Sex, Politics, Religion. Please don’t mistake this as an attempt to limit your free speech rights but rather a guide to a place and time for appropriate discussions.
**Extra Wine**: After everyone has had their samples, we remove the pouring spouts and any remaining wine is poured freely to whomever wants it. I hate having leftover wine.
**Queen of Hearts**: The Queen of Hearts raffle is a fundraiser for the club and a Barnum and Bailey type extravaganza - minus the dancing ponies, clowns, and actual circus. Bring your ***cash*** as the Queen does not accept American Express or other plastic.
**After the lights go out**: After the last sip of wine, when we clean up and turn the lights out, if you still haven’t had enough of us, it is typical for a group to get together and go to a local eatery for food and/or drinks or coffee.
Again, We look forward to meeting new members and reuniting with old friends.
Sincerely, ***Paul Uttermohlen***,
**Red 1 Realty**
