Every week since 2022, we have featured nude model poses, both in short and long poses. At the beginning, we have short poses (2, 3, 5, 15 minutes), then two 30-minute sessions. Between blocks, we have 5-10-minute breaks to refresh and socialize with tea and cookies. Normally, we have an interesting international group of artists, consisting of around 8-10 people, who come regularly and do not typically write about their attendance on Meetup. **Important!** Please book your ticket at Meetup by PayPal or [here](https://eventfrog.ch/en/p/art-exhibitions/other-art-events/life-drawing-aktzeichnen-in-zuerich-kreiss-4-7464979469754697856.html) On our Instagram page, you can see drawings from our artists from previous events: [here](https://eventfrog.ch/en/cockpitv3/events/7365649101847824543/overview) Please bring your favorite drawing material. We provide wooden desks and some drawing materials to lend if you forgot yours. This is a non-guided event; all styles and levels are welcome.

Sessions of **individual runic readings** are available for beginners all along summer, both online (75 CHF) and offline in Zurich (100 CHF). These sessions are **NOT** esoteric or divinatory. We're approaching runes as **a symbolic system of archetypes** to examine any situation or question that is currently relevant to you. *If you feel stuck in a situation and cannot see a way forward, are facing a difficult decision, navigating a period of uncertainty, or trying to understand a recurring pattern in your life, a runic reading may offer a different perspective.* **You will receive:** • a clearer and systemic understanding of what is actually happening; • insight into hidden influences affecting the situation; • a better understanding of why certain difficulties keep repeating; • greater clarity around available options and their likely consequences; • practical ideas for what to do next.

Bei **LEADERS IN DIALOGUE 2026** gehen wir in inspirierenden Dialogen und praxisnahen Impulsen der Frage nach, wie unser Nervensystem unsere Führung beeinflusst – und warum genau darin ein oft unterschätzter Schlüssel für wirksame Leadership liegt. Wie du in Drucksituationen reagierst. Wie du Unsicherheit hältst. Wie du Vertrauen stärkst. Wie du Entscheidungen triffst. Und wie viel Ruhe, Klarheit und Orientierung du anderen geben kannst – all das ist nicht nur eine Frage von Haltung, Erfahrung oder Methode. Es ist auch eine Frage deines inneren Zustands. Gerade in dynamischen, widersprüchlichen und unsicheren Zeiten wird sichtbar: **Dein Nervensystem führt mit.** Es prägt, wie du unter Druck reagierst, wie du Sicherheit vermittelst, wie du Vertrauen aufbaust und wie viel Weite, Klarheit und Handlungsfähigkeit du anderen eröffnest. Wir bieten einen offenen Raum für echten Austausch und neue Perspektiven: für Führungsverantwortliche in klassischen Führungsfunktionen und für Menschen, die in Projekten, selbstorganisierten Teams, politischen oder kirchlichen Kontexten, Initiativen oder Gründungsvorhaben Verantwortung übernehmen. Praxisnah, reflektiert und mit Blick auf deinen echten Führungsalltag. Denn wer sich selbst besser steuern kann, führt auch andere wirksamer. ## Worum geht es? Stell dir vor… ...du bist in einem Raum voller spannender Menschen. Du hörst zu, denkst mit, bringst deine eigenen Erfahrungen ein – und genau daraus entstehen für dich neue Perspektiven, inspirierende Ideen und konkrete Handlungsoptionen, die dich, deine Organisation, dein Team oder dein Projekt wirklich weiterbringen. **LEADERS IN DIALOGUE** ist das Gegenteil klassischer Tagungen, bei denen wenige reden und viele zuhören. Wir setzen bewusst auf Dialog und Selbsterfahrung, auf Austausch und Perspektivenvielfalt statt auf reines Zuhören in Frontalbeschallung. Expert:innenwissen nutzen wir bewusst anders: Mit **Christian Hofstetter** kommt zusätzlich eine starke Perspektive auf «Leadership unter Druck» in den Raum: Er arbeitet an der Schnittstelle von Leadership, Nervensystem-Regulation und *embodied leadership*. Sein Fokus liegt auf der Frage, wie dein innerer Zustand deine Wirkung beeinflusst – und was es braucht, um vor allem in anspruchsvollen Situationen klar, präsent und wirksam zu bleiben. Und das besondere ist: Christian bleibt als Gesprächspartner den ganzen Tag dabei und beteiligt sich in den kleinen und grossen Dialogrunden. Auch wir als Organisatorinnen – **Franziska Gottschalk und Myriam Mathys** – bringen unser inhaltliches und methodisches Know-how aktiv ein. Wir gestalten einen Rahmen, in dem nicht nur Inputs von vorne zählen, sondern auch die Erfahrung, das Wissen und die Fragen aller, die an diesem Tag dabei sind. **LEADERS IN DIALOGUE** bringt dich mit **spannenden Menschen, frischen Perspektiven und relevanten Fragen** zusammen. Du hörst nicht nur zu, sondern denkst mit, teilst deine Sicht und nimmst Impulse mit, die dich in deinem Führungsalltag konkret weiterbringen. **Was kostet es?** Die Teilnahmegebühr beträgt zum Early🐧Bird_Preis CHF 195.- und beinhaltet die Pausenverpflegung und einen Stehlunch. Hier gehts zur Anmeldung: https://www.all-dimensions.com/leaders-in-dialogue/

[Exceptionally at ramram cafe, inside the PBZ Altstadt library, while Strauhof is closed for the summer!] Join us for an opportunity to enjoy, discuss and learn from excellent writing. We'll have a semi-private room at The Alehouse, with three reading and discussion slots and an opportunity to meet other writers. A few notes for prospective writers: 1. You aren’t required to share your own work and should feel encouraged to attend simply to enjoy and discuss the work of others, if you prefer. 1. All genres, formats, and styles of creative writing welcome, noting that the focus will be on discussing English-language fiction (or creative non-fiction). Poetry is likely to be better suited to the marvellous Zürich Poetry Club. 1. All abilities are welcome, from those just starting out to those who have already made progress in their writing, from hobbyists to professionals. 1. There will be three reading slots for each session, allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. Please indicate in the comments for the event if you would like to share something. 1. If you would like to share your writing with the group, you can do so either by reading aloud or allowing group members to read directly. You can expect to read for 5-7 minutes (approximately 600-1000 words) with 15-20 minutes provided for discussion afterwards. 1. If possible, please bring sufficient copies of any writing that you would like to present, so that everyone can read it themselves. You can also request written feedback. 1. Improving as a writer requires both guidance and encouragement, so you can expect the discussion to be constructive and courteous - we all know how challenging it can be. We hope that you will be able to join, and look forward to seeing you there!

Welcome to the **Task-Buddies** event of the **Zürich Productivity Circle**, where we bring together like-minded individuals to work on personal goals and share the experience of growth in a supportive community. Maybe you are building a business or side hustle, studying for a course, learning a new (programming) language, figuring the tax system out, writing code, prose, or poetry, researching new stocks for your portfolio, tackling your German homework, or upskilling for your job. In all of these cases and more, this is the perfect space for you. In fact, productivity does not end there. Even if you just want to read a psychology book to resolve a personal struggle, sketch a mountain, listen to podcasts, organize your week, respond to unanswered emails and messages, enjoy a novel, or just reflect and meditate, you are very welcome here. For any task that adds positively to your life and can be done sitting down with others (exception: anything noisy/disruptive/disrespectful), you will fit into the events. We will meet at a work-friendly café in Zürich and follow the agenda below. **Agenda:** * **Introductions and food (20-30 mins):** Start with a round of introductions to get to know each other and share what we'll be working on, buy our food and drinks (alternatively one can also buy them later on). * **Productive Work Session (1-2 hours)** Dive into your individual tasks in a focussed, distraction-free environment. * **Collective Break and Socializing (\~15 mins):** Take a planned break to stretch, chat, get more coffee, and share insights about your projects. * **Continued Work Session (1-2 hours):** Get back to your tasks with renewed focus and motivation. * **Wrap-Up and Reflections (15+ mins):** Conclude with a reflection on what we accomplished, share productivity tips or questions, discuss plans for future meetups, stay back for more chit chat if you like. **What to Bring:** * Your project or task materials (laptop, charger, books, sketchpad, pen, etc.) * Respectful and kind demeanour * A positive attitude and a willingness to share and learn **Note:** Please ensure that your tasks are suitable for a quiet, communal setting. We aim to maintain a respectful and conducive environment for everyone. **Venue Courtesy:** Out of courtesy for the venue, please order something to eat or drink for yourself. This helps support the café and ensures we can continue to use their space for our meetups.

### ROLL THE DICE 🎲 Some nights are carefully planned. Others ask you to surrender to chance: A random encounter becomes a lifelong friendship. A missed train rewrites your future. One tiny decision sends your story spinning in a direction you never saw coming. On July 2, we celebrate coincidence, chaos, lucky accidents, bold risks, and the beautiful unpredictability of being human. Because sometimes, the best stories begin when you **[ROLL THE DICE.](https://zurichstorytellers.ch/events/roll-the-dice)** ### AN EVENING OF STORIES For our summer season finale, we’re inviting a handful of storytellers to take the stage with true stories inspired by twists of fate, unexpected turns, lucky accidents, and beautiful randomness.
