Liebe & Dating als Single - Von Small Talk zu authentischer Anziehung
**Liebe & Dating als Single //**
**Von unverbindlichem Small Talk zu authentischer Anziehung**
**Zu viele Dates und Begegnungen laufen ähnlich ab:**
Man unterhält sich, lacht, tauscht Nettigkeiten aus – und doch passiert innerlich oft erstaunlich wenig.
Früher oder später geht man wieder getrennte Wege.
Was fehlt, ist selten Gesprächsstoff.
Was fehlt, sind Tiefe, Spannung und echte Verbindung.
*Kostenloser Mini-Workshop*
**Von unverbindlichem Small Talk zu authentischer Anziehung**
📍 **Ort:** Debattierhaus Karl der Grosse, Kirchgasse 14, 8001 Zürich
📅 **Datum:** Samstag, 14. Februar 2026 (nachmittags)
👥 **Teilnehmerzahl:** max. 30 Personen
*Trag Dich gleich ein und sichere Dir jetzt Dein Platz!*
Dieser Nachmittag richtet sich an Singles, die genau das verstehen – und etwas verändern möchten.
In entspannter Atmosphäre beleuchten wir psychologische und kommunikative Prinzipien, die einen entscheidenden Punkt im Dating bestimmen: **den Übergang vom freundlichen Kennenlernen zu romantischer Anziehung.**
Du lernst ein praxisnahes und zugleich tiefgehendes Konzept kennen, das sichtbar macht,
* warum Begegnungen oft auf einer unverbindlichen Ebene bleiben
* worin sich spannende, berührende Begegnungen von rein sozialem Small Talk unterscheiden
* und wie Anziehung entstehen kann, ohne dass Du Dich verstellen oder etwas vorspielen musst
Wir sprechen nicht über oberflächliche Flirt-Tipps oder aufgesetzte Verhaltensstrategien.
Im Fokus stehen bewusste Wahrnehmung, klare Kommunikation und authentisches Auftreten im zwischenmenschlichen Kontakt.
Kurz gesagt:
Was passiert zwischen zwei Menschen – vom ersten Kennenlernen bis zu romantischer Anziehung?
Der Nachmittag verbindet **klare Impulse**, **konkrete Erfahrung** und **echte Begegnung**:
* ein Mini-Workshop zu Kommunikation, Präsenz und Anziehung
* Reflexion, Austausch und praktische Anwendungsbeispiele, in denen Du das Framework direkt erleben kannst
* Zeit für neue Kontakte, spannende Gespräche und entspanntes Socializing
Es geht nicht darum, jemanden von Dir zu überzeugen oder „den nächsten Schritt“ zu machen. Sondern darum, authentischer, präsenter und bewusster in romantischen Begegnungen zu werden – und zu verstehen, warum manche Begegnungen Tiefe entwickeln und andere nicht.
Kein Datingevent.
Kein oberflächlicher Workshop.
Kein Leistungsdruck.
Sondern ein bewusst gestalteter Raum für Menschen,
die Dating und Beziehung nicht dem Zufall überlassen wollen
und neugierig sind, wie echte Anziehung entsteht.
**Um einen persönlichen Rahmen zu ermöglichen, ist die Teilnehmerzahl auf 30 Personen begrenzt.**
Wenn Du Lust hast, Dein Dating-Leben besser zu verstehen
und neue Erfahrungen in authentischer Kommunikation zu machen,
freuen wir uns, Dich an diesem Valentins-Nachmittag zu begrüssen.

Der russsisch-stämmige Regisseur John M. Stahl wuchs in den USA auf, begann seine Karriere in den 1910er-Jahren, kam aber erst in den 30/40er Jahren zu Ruhm. Zu seinen bekannteren Werken gehört ein frühes Unikum (da in Farbe gedreht) des Film Noir: LEAVE HER TO HEAVEN (1945).
Der Filmkritiker Leonard Maltin zu MAGNIFICENT OBSESSION:
"Antiquierte, aber aufrichtige Adaption von Lloyd Douglas' Geschichte über einen trunksüchtigen Playboy (Taylor), der sein Leben ändert und ein angesehener Chirurg wird, um einer Frau (Dunne), die er bei einem Autounfall blind gemacht hat, das Augenlicht zurückzugeben. Diese Seifenoper verschaffte Taylor seine erste wichtige Hauptrolle – und machte ihn zum Star. 1954 neu verfilmt [durch Douglas Sirk]."

Russian-born director John M. Stahl grew up in the US and began his career in the 1910s, but only rose to fame in the 1930s and 1940s. Among his better-known works is an early example (a unique, because shot in color) of film noir: LEAVE HER TO HEAVEN (1945).
Film critic Leonard Maltin on MAGNIFICENT OBSESSION:
Dated but sincere adaptation of Lloyd Douglas' story about drunken playboy (Taylor) who mends his ways, becomes respected surgeon in order to restore the eyesight of a woman (Dunne) he blinded in an auto accident. Soap opera gave Taylor his first important lead— and made him a star. Remade in 1954 [by Douglas Sirk].

💘 Valentine’s Day, But Make It Self-Love
🩷 Valentine’s Day can feel tender, especially if you’re going through a breakup, feeling a little alone, or simply wanting to do something meaningful for yourself this year.
So instead of forcing the day to look a certain way, we’re creating our own.
This is a gentle, feel-good Valentine’s Day experience for women who want to connect, create, and leave the day with something beautiful.
✨ The plan for the day:
• (Optional) We’ll start by meeting up to buy flowers for ourselves and create a small bouquet to take home.
• Then we’ll head to Paint It Easy, where you can choose to:
– paint ceramics
– paint a canvas
– or do beading
• (Optional) Afterward, whoever feels like it can join for dinner, to keep the connection going and end the day together.
🌸 Important notes:
• Everyone covers their own flowers, ceramics/creative activity, and food.
• The only confirmation needed is for the ceramics studio, so we can secure the spot.
• Women between 25-35 years old.
Come as you are and create something beautiful just for you 💞 We’ve got you 💝

Algorithmic Trading & Crypto
## (Lesson 2)
## What to expect
Project Equilibrium is an in-person introduction to disciplined, rule-based trading automation. This first event is designed to be clear, practical, and approachable no hype, no pressure, and no prior technical background required.
### Why we meet (two-session structure)
This meetup is structured as **two lessons**:
**Lesson 1 — The “Why” (mindset + framework)**
* What Project Equilibrium is (and what it is not)
* Why we focus on process, rules, and execution discipline
* What “24/7 execution” means in practice
* Q&A and open discussion
**Lesson 2 — The “How” (step-by-step setup)**
* A simple walkthrough of the basic tools you need
* Step-by-step guidance to install and prepare the required exchange apps/accounts
* A clear checklist to be ready for future sessions
(You won’t be left alone—everything is explained calmly and in order.)
### What to bring
To make the second lesson smooth, please bring:
* **A smartphone** (for authentication and exchange app setup)
* **A laptop** (for the setup steps and configuration)
If you only have one device, you can still join Lesson 1. The setup lesson is simply easier with both.
### Who this is for
* People curious about algorithmic execution and portfolio discipline
* Beginners who want a structured approach
* Experienced traders who want more consistency and less stress
### Agenda
* Welcome + introductions
* Lesson focus of the day (Why / How)
* Guided walkthrough (where applicable)
* Q&A + next steps
### How to find the group
* Arrive a few minutes early and look for the **Project Equilibrium** group.
* I will be there to welcome attendees if you’re unsure, simply ask the venue staff for the Meetup group name.

Grief Circle — Remembering Love, From Darkness to Light
**A sacred space to honor sorrow, release pain, and remember love**
At Yanantin Tribe, we open grief circles where heart, body, and spirit can meet. Inspired by ancestral traditions, we gather in community to carry what was never meant to be held alone. Here, darkness and light are both welcome — grief is not fixed or rushed, but witnessed with care.
A grief ritual is a communal gathering where sorrow is given space and form. We welcome all expressions of grief: personal loss, heartbreak, ancestral wounds, collective pain, or a quiet heaviness without a clear name. Through music, song, rhythm, movement, silence, and guided ritual, grief softens and reveals the love beneath it.
**Bring: comfortable clothes, water bottle and your own cup for tea, curiosity**
This is a free community offering. If you feel called to support the continuation of these grief circles, you can choose the **Support Ticket — CHF 25** via Eventfrog. Thank you for supporting this work.
**The experience**
* Enter a safe, held circle where all emotions are welcome
* You may share, move, cry, sing, or remain silent — no pressure to speak
* Place a personal item, photo, or symbol on a shared altar (optional)
* Move through ritual practices that allow grief to be witnessed and released
* Close with grounding and gentle integration so you leave supported
**Why this circle matters**
* Release unspoken or long-held grief
* Be held without advice or fixing
* Honor both sorrow and love
* Heal personal, ancestral, and collective layers
Tickets & Support
This grief circle is offered freely as a community space.
If you wish to support the continuation of these circles, you can choose the Support Ticket — CHF 25 via Eventfrog.

András offers 1:1 grief support, death & dying accompaniment, and end-of-life presence alongside this community work:
[https://psysoul.com/death-grief-sessions](https://psysoul.com/death-grief-sessions)
This is not therapy. It is a facilitated ritual space rooted in consent, presence, and care.

You do not have to carry everything alone.
**Personal Support & 1:1 Work with András**
If you’re going through a period of transition, grief, burnout, relationship challenges, or feeling stuck, I offer **free 30-min Exploration Calls** to help you gain clarity and see if deeper 1:1 work is right for you.

Barbi, András 💕
ZH3 Hash #1708: Post Valentine's Piss-up
Hares are **One Night Wonder** and **Big Top**.
Still recovering from roses, romance, or catastrophic Tinder decisions? Come hash it off at the ZH3 Sunday hash. You can expect a mildly enthusiastic winter trail, romantic falsies, committment-phobe checks, boozy schoggi, cold beer, and well, being cold ❄️.
And because nothing heals a broken heart like Guinness, crisps and loud, drunken over-sharing, we will congregate in the nearby Irish Pub for the On-After! Hope to see you there ❤️☘️
**Where**:
Wollishofenplatz. Look for English speakers wearing running gear.
**When:**
We'll meet at 1:45 pm to start at 2:00 pm.
There's a charge of CHF 5 for participating, which covers all you can drink beer/cider (and non-alcoholic alternatives) plus snacks afterwards.
**All Welcome:**
If you are new, curious, and want to get out of the house, stretch your legs, talk shit, enjoy a drink, and hopefully a laugh, then here's what you need to know:
• We are a social running/walking group, physical fitness is not required, but a sense of humour is.
• The aim is to find the '*Beer Stop*' at the end of the '*trail*' and have fun.
• 'True Trail' is typically 4-7 km. Some will go less (especially those walking or walk/running), and some over-achieving fast runners will go further.
• The '*Hare*', which changes each event (along with location), cleverly lays the trail (typically with flour marks) so that everyone reaches the end at the same time.
• There is always a place to deposit your bag and sometimes a place to change.
• **After Trail**, we group for \~20-40 minutes for drinks, snacks, and some fun. This '*Circle*' is typically outside, so leave something warm in your bag in winter (and bring a flashlight when it's dark). If you don't want to stand around drinking afterwards, you can head home. We occasionally all go to a restaurant afterwards.
**Why bother leaving your warm & dry sofa?**
If you enjoy getting outside, being around people, and doing something a bit different, you will probably enjoy hashing. Exercise is important, and this is probably the least boring way to get it.
'Hashing' and the idea of some physical activity to work up a thirst, have been around for almost 90 years and there are groups (*Hashes*) in most major cities. Its humor and 'traditions' can be explored on the internet - **or you can just come along and find out.** *See you there.*
We are of many nationalities, all ages, full of misfits and idiots (at least there is no one taking themselves seriously!) and always welcome newbies 'Virgin Hashers' and visitors from other groups.

Scoring follows the Mexicano format; for this event, note:
* Every rally = 1 point.
* Serve switches to the other team every 2 points.
* The same player serves both serves (first from the right, then from the left).
* A game ends when the combined score is 21 (e.g., 9–12, 5–16, 8–13, etc.).

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, March 25 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.

**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!

Whatever you need to be able to write! You're welcome to bring earplugs/headphones if noise will bother you!

We'll meet at The Capital One Café, 167 Easton Town Center, Space A-103. This is in the main mall where the Microsoft store used to be, on your left if you're standing at the bottom of the AMC Theater escalator.
Join us on Sunday for an hour of uninterrupted wordmaking!
• What we'll do
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 noon on Sundays.
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:
12:00 - quick intros.
12:10 - timer starts: write for 1 hour.
1:10 - chat / take off / keep writing.
OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 1-1:30ish. 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, then check-in with me after the session. If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer.
Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you!
• What to bring
Whatever you need to be able to write!
Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block noise or the occasional conversation by other patrons. Electrical outlets are limited, so charge your devices before whenever possible.
See you at The Café on Sunday!

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!
