Vibratuning Sound Bath
Enjoy this rejuvenating Vibratuning sound experience near Zurich Stadelhofen. While you relax on a mat, sound therapist Christine Grimm will enchant you with a gentle but profound sound landscape. You will experience a very deep state of relaxation with singing bowls and Biosonics tuning forks. If you like, your chakras (energy centers) can be activated with the body tuners and singing bowls. The focus of the sound bath is releasing blocked energy with percussion instruments. These wonderful vibrations transform blocks and harmonize your frequencies. You feel better grounded, more balanced, and attuned. Your powers of self-healing are activated and you sense an inner peace.
Please register in advance for CHF 35 with [YogaNation](https://www.yoganation.ch/stundenplan) (Seefeldstr. 7A, 8008 Zurich) or pay at the door, if there's space (max. of 10). Mats and blankets are provided. Sound Baths are on most Mondays.

All writers and all experience levels are welcome and don’t worry, no one will see what you've written. This hour is about getting your writing done.
WHAT TO EXPECT
We’ll give 5 minutes in the beginning for people to settle in and share what they’re working on, then have 50 minutes of focused writing before we give people a chance to talk about what they accomplished. Stick around and chat for a bit, or feel free to head out.

Amazon FBA/KDP and Online Business - Exchange of expertise and ideas, networking
Welcome to our meetup!
In our meetups we openly discuss and share our experiences related to running an Amazon FBA business, Amazon KDP business or other online business out of Switzerland. There's no fixed agenda or presentations/speakers. Everyone gets the chance to shortly introduce his/her experience with online business so far and to discuss any issues he/she is facing at the moment. Our meetups are valuable both for people just starting out as well as for experienced entrepreneurs.
Next to providing useful practical information, I believe our meetups are just as valuable for the chance to meet similar minded, motivated entrepreneurs. It's great for your own mindset to meet other people who also think out of the 9-to-5 box. Furthermore, our meetups provide a good networking opportunity: we already have various collaborations between members of our group resulting from our meetups.
We will meet in the lobby of the Motel One hotel (Stockerstrasse 61, corner of Brandschenkestrasse; after you entered the motel, you'll find the lobby at the far left). If you like to have a drink, please get it at the bar before coming to the lobby, so we can start on time at 7pm.
Meetups are held in English, unless all participants understand German.
Please only sign up if you're actually planning on coming.
Looking forward to meeting you!
\*\*\* no hidden agenda, no one trying to sell you his services, 100% entrepreneurs helping entrepreneurs \*\*\*
Aristotle on Ethics - Eudaimonia, Virtue and The Golden Mean.
What does it mean to live a good life? Should we always do the “right” thing — and how do we even decide what *right* means?
From social freezing to climate responsibility, from AI dilemmas to personal relationships, ethical questions quietly shape our daily lives. Aristotle reminds us that ethics is not an abstract debate; it is the study of how to live well as a human being — to achieve *eudaimonia*, the good life. This is a life not defined merely by pleasure or success, but by the development of our character and the exercise of reason in action.
In this event, we’ll explore three foundational ideas from Aristotle:
* **Eudaimonia:** The art of living well as a human being - a life shaped by reason, virtue, and thoughtful choice, where each action and habit contributes to becoming the person one is capable of being.
* **The Golden Mean:** Virtue is a matter of balance — between deficiency and excess, courage and recklessness, generosity and stinginess. Finding this balance is not formulaic but requires judgment and reflection.
* **Virtues as Habits:** Moral excellence is formed through practice. We become just, courageous, and temperate not by thinking about it once, but by repeatedly choosing to act well until it shapes who we are.
This event invites you to grapple with these ideas in conversation and in practice. We’ll discuss modern dilemmas through an Aristotelian lens, examining how balance, character, and thoughtful action guide decisions in everyday life.
**What to expect:**
* An accessible introduction to Aristotle’s ethics
* Engagement with contemporary dilemmas, from personal choices to societal challenges
* Interactive discussions that encourage questioning, disagreement, and reflection
* Opportunities to explore how ethical insight can shape habits and help us **live well**
Here's a short and entertaining appetizer on the topic:
[Aristotle’s Virtue Ethics — CrashCourse Philosophy #38 (9 min)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrvtOWEXDIQ)
**Important:** When you register for the event, please commit to it and don't be a NO SHOW. Presumably, when the ancient philosophers decided to go to an event, they kept to it.
;)
**Payment:** You can pay at the venue (Twint/Revolut/Cash). Thus, if you want to register at Meetup just click attend - no more needed ;).
We look forward to seeing you.

The 40 Rules of Love
**First Gathering: Love as Transformation**
Reading: **The Forty Rules of Love** by **Elif Shafak**
We begin Men, Meaning, and Madness with a novel that treats love not as sentiment, but as a force that disrupts, humbles, and reshapes the self.
The Forty Rules of Love explores love as discipline, surrender, and moral risk. It asks what happens when certainty breaks, when the ego is wounded, and when meaning is found not through control, but through transformation.
This gathering is for men interested in serious literature and honest inquiry into how love shapes character, responsibility, and the inner life.
Discussion will be guided by questions rather than summaries. The aim is depth, not debate.
Come having read the book or engaged with it seriously.
Shut Up & Write! Kingsdale Shopping Center
Greetings writers! Come down and join your fellow wordsmiths for one hour of uninterrupted writing time in the upper level of the Market District Supermarket in Upper Arlington.
The main entrance of the shopping center opens onto stairs/elevator leading up to the 2nd floor cafe section where we will have a table displaying a sign with the Shut Up & Write logo.
Writing is largely a solitary craft. Practicing with others in a community setting may be the thing you need to fire your own routine.
We’ll meet on Wednesday evenings, starting the clock at 6:30, following a brief period of introductions. This is solid writing time and all inclusive. Any project is acceptable, be it fiction, non -fiction, work or homework assignment. All is welcome and will remain private to you.
The market boasts a Starbucks, a full service bar and various affordable food options. Parking is plentiful, free Wifi is provided as well as outlets for charging your devices, though they are somewhat limited, so plan accordingly.
Show up as early as you like, or stay late. This group tends to socialize some, both before and after the alloted time, but this is not mandatory to you. Feel free to come and go as you please and late arrivals are welcome.
The cafe may be noisy on occasion so headphones/ earbuds are reccommended as you see fit.
Please try to RSVP if possible so that we may grab enough seats for all—the venue can be busy at times.
Feel free to message me privately wth any questions and/ or concerns you may have.
Happy writing!
