Abonniere meinen [Whatsapp-Kanal](https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Vb72OOCEKyZ9YmR6Xq2u) für regelmässige Tipps rund ums Schweizerdeutsch.
**Lust auf Bewegung an der frischen Luft und dabei locker (Schweizerdeutsch) plaudern?** 🚶💬
Dann komm zum Walk and Talk!
**So funktioniert’s:**
**Wir treffen uns am Treffpunkt Zürich HB und gehen gemeinsam los**
**Damit wir uns finden halten wir ein Plüschtier auffällig in der Hand.****
Jede und jeder bringt sich ein – Gesprächsthemen entstehen unterwegs von selbst
Im Anschluss können wir, wer Lust hat, noch gemeinsam irgendwo einen Kaffee trinken ☕
**Der Organisator ist nicht zwingend jedes Mal dabei – die Idee ist, dass das Treffen auch selbstorganisiert funktioniert**
Hinweise:
Bequeme Schuhe & wettergerechte Kleidung
Findet bei (fast) jedem Wetter statt
Wasser/Getränk nach Bedarf mitnehmen
Jede und jeder darf gerne Freunde mitbringen
Handstand Training (Open Level)
Sundays, 2pm-3pm.
Trial class: CHF 20
Drop-in: CHF 35
Book here: www.balancewithale.com/zurich/handstand
"I'll never be able to handstand".
You kick at the wall but see no progress.
Your wrists hurt.
You don't know how to improve...
It doesn't have to be this way.
Progress doesn't come from trying harder — it comes from practicing smarter. Handstands are a skill, and when you train them as such, they begin to click in a way that feels almost magical.
This class builds the foundations (strength, alignment and technique) that make handstands feel achievable and fun. Through clear progressions and personalized drills, you'll discover how capable your body truly is, and how handstands start to feel within reach when you train with intention and support.
Because drills are tailored to you, the class welcomes all levels — from "I've never kicked up before" to confident freestanding balancers who want to develop greater control.
Chill, Swim & Plan Our Next Hike! ☀️🏊♂️
Very few people have signed up for my recent meetups. Because of that, I’m going to host a very simple meetup this time: sitting at Oberer Letten and planning our next hiking experience for June.
Bring your swimwear, maybe it will be warm enough to swim. The goal of this meetup is to have an event where we definitely get a few people together, which I can publish, and where everyone has fun. And of course: good conversations and sunshine!

Open Sharing Circle, Games & BBQ 🥎🃏🤸♀️✨ (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 mit Spielen (Brettspiele, Spikeball, acrojoga etc) und BBQ. Nimm dein Lieblingsspiel mit, wenn du eines hast, wie auch Essen für dich.
_____________
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

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

Du kannst jederzeit gehen, idealerweise während der Pausen (etwa alle 45 Minuten).
Nach dem Circle gibt es Raum, um zu bleiben, sich zu verbinden oder weiter zu teilen, wenn du magst.

Shut Up & Write!® East Side Columbus
Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 7:00pm on Wednesday, February 11 at Streetlight Guild.
Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done.
**SCHEDULE:**
6:45ish - Quick introductions
7:00 - Timer starts: write for 1 hour
8:00 - The End
**OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING** happens before and after the writing hour. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing.
**BEING LATE IS OKAY:** just show up and get settled! If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer.
Happy writing & I look forward to seeing you at Streetlight Guild!
**WHAT SHOULD I BRING?**
Whatever you need to be able to write! You're welcome to bring earplugs/headphones if noise will bother you!
**OTHER IMPORTANT DETAILS:**
* **RSVP:** Please RSVP by 6:00pm the evening of the meeting. This helps me know how many to expect, and if we'll need additional space!
* **COVID:** While masks are not required, please be mindful of the other writers around you and their comfort levels.
* **WIFI/OUTLETS:** Outlets are limited, so please ensure your devices are charged when you come! But Streetlight Guild does have free WiFi! Yay!

Join us on Saturday for an hour of uninterrupted wordmaking!

Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done.

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!
