Meditation & Runterkommen (Vipassana) at HZ Heuried, Zürich
Hallo!
Mein Name ist Michał und ich bin langjähriger Meditationspraktizierender und Bewusstseins-Coach.
(Die Veranstaltung findet im GZ Heuried – Döltschiweg 130, 8055 Zürich statt. **Ich bitte um eine schriftliche Bestätigung deiner Teilnahme bei der Anmeldung.)**
https://gz-zh.ch/gz-heuried/angebote/meditation-runterkommen/
In dieser geführten Meditation werden wir die Realität genau so beobachten, wie sie ist. Wir konzentrieren uns auf den Geist, den Körper und die Empfindungen im Körper.
Die von mir geleitete Meditation ist in der Vipassana-Tradition verwurzelt und enthält Elemente der non-dualen Bewusstheit.
Ich verwende keine Visualisierungen oder göttliche Bilder – sie ist so einfach wie möglich und meiner Erfahrung nach die effektivste Methode, die wahre Natur der Realität allmählich Tropfen für Tropfen zu erkennen.
Diese Meditation ist für alle spirituellen oder religiösen Hintergründe offen.
Der Abend besteht aus **einer Stunde Meditation**, gefolgt von **30 Minuten Fragen und Antworten**.
Ich würde mich sehr freuen, wenn du an diesem Abend teilnehmen würdest.
**Gebühr – 20 CHF**.
Wenn du finanzielle Schwierigkeiten hast, kontaktiere mich bitte, und wir können über andere Möglichkeiten sprechen.

Circling / Transformational Connection
Circling ist eine Einladung, dir selbst und anderen ehrlicher, offener und präsenter zu begegnen.
In einem sicheren und respektvollen Gruppenrahmen erforschen wir, was sichtbar wird, wenn wir langsamer werden, tiefer zuhören und aus dem sprechen, was im Moment wirklich da ist. Statt bei oberflächlichen Gesprächen zu bleiben, üben wir eine Form von Präsenz und Verbindung, durch die innere Muster, Emotionen, Erwartungen und Beziehungsdynamiken bewusster werden können.
Im Kern ist Transformational Connection / Circling eine Form von Meditation in Beziehung: präsent mit dir selbst sein und gleichzeitig in echtem Kontakt mit anderen. Durch ehrliche und empathische Kommunikation können Teilnehmende beginnen, die inneren Haltungen, Schutzstrategien und unbewussten Annahmen wahrzunehmen, die sie in Begegnungen mitbringen.
Viele dieser Muster entstehen durch frühe Kindheitserfahrungen mit wichtigen Bezugspersonen sowie durch spätere Interaktionen in unserem sozialen und kulturellen Umfeld. Positive Erfahrungen können gesunde innere Überzeugungen stärken, während schwierige Erlebnisse emotionale Spuren hinterlassen und zu negativen inneren Grundannahmen führen können — zum Beispiel: „Ich bin nicht liebenswert“, „Ich bin zu viel“ oder „Ich muss mich schützen“.
C. G. Jung beschrieb solche verborgenen Anteile der Psyche als Schattenaspekte — innere Anteile, die unserem bewussten Zugriff oft entzogen sind und dennoch unser Verhalten, unsere Beziehungen und unsere Persönlichkeit mitprägen.
Kurz gesagt: In vieler Hinsicht kennen wir uns selbst nicht so gut, wie wir vielleicht glauben.
Diese Gruppe schafft einen Raum, in dem unbewusste Überzeugungen, Prägungen und Beziehungsmuster behutsam ins Bewusstsein kommen können — nicht nur durch Analyse, sondern durch direkte emotionale Erfahrung, Präsenz und Verbindung mit anderen.
## **Haltung und Methodik**
In der Gruppe wird eine innere Haltung von Offenheit und Empfänglichkeit gegenüber allen körperlichen und emotionalen Erfahrungen gefördert, die im Kontakt entstehen. Besonders wichtig ist dabei die Haltung des „Nicht-Wissens“: eine neugierige und nicht-wertende Erforschung dessen, was im Moment auftaucht — ohne sofort zu interpretieren, zu bewerten oder einzuordnen.
Die Arbeit basiert auf der Gruppenpraxis des Circling / Transformational Connection, die Präsenz, Authentizität und echte Begegnung im Hier und Jetzt betont. Ergänzend fliessen Elemente der interaktionellen Gruppentherapie nach Irvin D. Yalom ein. Darüber hinaus werden Aspekte zeitgenössischer Spiritualität integriert, besonders mit Blick auf Verbundenheit, Einheit und Ganzheit.
Mit der Zeit kann dieser Prozess Wahrnehmung, Präsenz, emotionale Ehrlichkeit und die Fähigkeit stärken, tiefere und bedeutungsvollere Beziehungen zu gestalten — zu dir selbst, zu anderen und zum Leben.
Du brauchst keine Vorerfahrung. Eine Bereitschaft, präsent, neugierig und offen zu sein, genügt.
**Hinweis:** Dies ist ein Raum für persönliche Entwicklung, Selbsterfahrung und bewusste Verbindung. Er ersetzt keine Psychotherapie oder medizinische Behandlung. Bitte komme mit Selbstverantwortung und Respekt für deine eigenen Grenzen sowie die Grenzen der anderen Teilnehmenden.

Meditation am Montag
**Meditationsreihe:** **Vom Konflikt zur Harmonie - Umgang mit schwierigen Menschen**
Montags 8. Juni - 13. Juli, 18:30-19:30, KMC Schweiz in ZH-Altstetten mit Kathrin Hald (Deutsch), 15CHF [https://www.kadampa.ch/meditation-am-montag/](https://www.kadampa.ch/meditation-am-montag/)
Schwierige Menschen begegnen uns überall – im Büro, in der Familie, im Alltag. Manchmal scheinen sie unseren Frieden zu rauben und unsere Geduld auf die Probe zu stellen. Doch was, wenn das Problem nicht draussen liegt, sondern in unserem eigenen Geist?
In dieser 6-wöchigen Meditationsreihe laden wir dich ein, einen transformativen Blick nach innen zu werfen. Schritt für Schritt erkunden wir, wie wir schwierige Beziehungen mit buddhistischer Weisheit und Meditation neu betrachten können – nicht um schwieriges Verhalten zu akzeptieren, sondern um unseren eigenen Geist zu befreien.
**Themenliste**
8\. Juni 2026 \| Cool bleiben – Die Stärke der Gelassenheit
15\. Juni 2026 \| Andere akzeptieren
22\. Juni 2026 \| Schmerzhafte Gefühle verstehen und annehmen
29\. Juni 2026 \| Harmonie schaffen
6\. Juli 2026 \| Konflikte meistern Teil 1

Let's talk!
**Let's talk! Parents with teens**
**The reality:**
Sometimes life as a family with teens gets complicated. We all worry about getting the classic eye-roll or push back. But if we don't talk to them, you both lose. Join our monthly "Let's Talk." We gather to swap stories, share what works, and find solid ground.
**The impact:**
Being a leader for your teen doesn't require having a perfect script. It is all about feeling anchored enough to start the conversation. When you lean into connection, you stop reacting and start guiding.
#### What to expect
* Real talk — come exactly as you are
* Guided insights from the Wild Sense method
* A breathing space to turn venting into value
**Where & When:**
* **Date:** Wednesday, 17 June 2026
* **Time:** 19:00 - 20:30
* **Location:** Rote Fabrik, Seestrasse 395, 8038 Zürich
**[RSVP Link]** to let us know you're coming
*(You are welcome with or without notice, but hitting the RSVP button helps us grab the right table!)*
**Important: no perfect parents are allowed!**

COUNT monthly event: Kitchen service at Van Buren Center's shelter
Come assist Van Buren Shelter (https://ymcacolumbus.org/locations/vanburen) staff in serving dinners and cleaning up on the 3rd Tuesday of each month. Dinner for the women is 5-6 pm and for the families is 6:15-7:15 pm. There is ample free parking available in the shelter's lot. The recommended area to park is in green in the image above.
There will be a new entrance for the time being. We are asking all volunteers to enter through the Donation Dock door, the orange mark on the image above. This door is located between the Single Adults and Family Shelter. You will see 2 large garage doors with a large green trash compactor in the center. Please head to the closest garage door to the building wall, with a ramp leading up. There, you will see a door with a sign stating instructions on how to enter the building. Please ring the doorbell, and a staff member will come and escort you into the building. If a staff member takes longer than 5 minutes, please call the front desk at 614-689-2020. This is a new process for us, and we do not want to keep you waiting! We appreciate your patience as we navigate this temporary change.
The shelter needs a volunteer count the day before the event so sign-up ends Monday at 4:50 PM. Afterwards some of us go to the Omnipresent Atheists Weekly Meetup in progress to have a bit to eat or drink (http://www.meetup.com/omnipresentatheists/).
Volunteers must be 14 or older. Since we will be working around families, the YMCA does not permit volunteering by individuals with convictions for violent or sexual crimes. The YMCA reserves the right to run background checks on volunteers.
For questions, comment on this page or contact: Andrew, awhit12@yahoo.com, (614)937-5802 (cell). Please let Andrew know if you volunteer anytime other than our COUNT events so that he can count your hours toward our service record.

You are only as successful as your ability to communicate.
\- What if you could confidently talk to anyone?
\- What if you had the ability to calmly control every conversation?
\- What if you could close that sale\, ask for that date\, make new friends\, repair problematic relationships\, get that raise\, or effortlessly express any idea with confidence?
You can!
The secret to success relies on your ability or inability to effectively communicate. Attend a free seminar and gain a better ability to communicate.
