Meilen Monday Reset: Sound & Breath
**Welcome to your Monday night sanctuary.**
Do you feel the need to quiet the mind, release the stress of the day, and start your week with fresh energy? In our fast-paced world, finding a space for true stillness is essential. **I** invite you to a weekly "Journey Within" (Die Reise nach Innen) in the heart of Meilen.
### **What to Expect**
The sessions are a unique blend of three powerful modalities designed to regulate your nervous system and restore balance:
* **Breathwork (Atemarbeit):** We use conscious breathing techniques to release stored emotions and move from "fight or flight" into a state of deep relaxation and vitality.
* **Sound Healing (Klangheilung):** Immerse yourself in the healing frequencies of high-quality Crystal and Tibetan singing bowls. These vibrations work at a cellular level to guide your brain into Alpha and Theta states for profound peace.
* **Guided Meditation:** A "red thread" that leads you back to your center, giving your journey a clear direction and purpose.
### **Why Monday Nights?**
Mondays set the frequency for your entire week. By joining us at **Anjaly Yoga**, you choose to prioritize your well-being from the very start, ensuring you move through the following days with clarity and resonance.

MATCHA OR CEREAL NERIKOMI BOWL: Pottery Workshop
✨🎟️ [Ticket required !! CLICK HERE](https://atelier-yuniku.as.me/nerikomi-bowl) 🎟️✨
**MATCHA OR CEREAL NERIKOMI BOWL: Pottery Workshop**
Pottery Workshop with Tereza (in English) at atelier yuniku
2 hours / CHF 60.00
Join us for a **calm session** where you’ll create your own **ceramic bowl** using the **nerikomi technique**. Whether you prefer a **matcha** or a bowl for your morning **cereal**, you’ll shape a piece that fits your style.
You’ll begin by choosing your clay colors - earthy tones that are layered and combined to form soft, marbled patterns. Using the nerikomi technique, you’ll mix the clay to create natural color flows, then shape your bowl by hand using a pinching technique.
To finish, you’ll gently carve and scrape the surface, revealing the patterns hidden within the clay. The result is a one-of-a-kind bowl with a raw, organic look. After the workshop, we’ll glaze and fire your piece for you.
**Good to know:**
* Course in English
* Beginner-friendly – no prior experience needed
* Choice of 2–3 clay colors
* All materials provided
* Small apéro with wine included
* Bowl ready for pickup in approx. 4 weeks
* One bowl included; extra bowls can be made for a materials fee

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Finding Product Insights
**The Behavior Gap: Where Products Win or Lose**
Teams today have more data than ever, and yet many still struggle to understand why customers adopt, engage with, or abandon their products. Teams sprint, ship faster, and chase more signals… all while metrics stall and confidence drops. The missing piece isn’t more data. It’s often the behavioral insight between the metrics, explaining why the numbers move in the first place. Dashboards can tell you what customers did, but understanding why they did it (and how to influence what they do next) requires a deeper blend of insights. This session is about closing that gap.
Drawing from real-world experience designing and scaling products as [ZoCo Design](https://zocodesign.com/)’s CEO, [Lacey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) will share how to cut through the noise and identify the insights that actually change behavior—moving people, and moving metrics. You’ll learn:
* Why understanding customer behavior is a quant and qual challenge
* How to spot the signals that actually predict behavior change
* Where AI accelerates insight, and where it creates distraction
* How to get meaningfully closer to customers, without adding more tools
This talk reframes how to evaluate performance and identify what levers actually improve it, helping your team to make smarter bets with greater confidence. Every meaningful outcome is driven by behavior change. And when you know how to design for behavior, you stop guessing, and start building things that work.
**About Our Speaker**
[Lacey Picazo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) is the Founder and CEO of ZoCo, a healthcare product studio that turns complex, high-stakes ideas into products that drive real-world adoption. She partners with healthcare organizations to uncover critical care delivery insights, focus product strategy through behavior design, and build solutions that patients and providers actually use.
