Meaningful Conversations Zurich | Focus in a Distracted World
Meaningful Conversations Zurich | Focus in a Distracted World
**⚠️ Registration via Luma is required.** Meetup RSVP alone does not confirm your spot. [Register here](https://luma.com/tmrorxc8) Maximum group size: 10 participants. ____________________________ Meaningful Conversations Zurich is a small and intentional gathering space for honest conversations. A space to slow down, listen carefully and speak more openly than we usually do in everyday life. Inspired by a conversation format that has been hosted in different cities across Europe over the past decade, these gatherings create space for reflection, presence and meaningful exchange. For this gathering, we will explore the theme: **Focus in a Distracted World** In a time where attention is constantly pulled in different directions, we will reflect on focus, presence, priorities and the things that truly deserve our attention. The evening will be guided by a small set of reflection questions, shared with participants a few days beforehand. The intention is not to debate, perform or give advice, but to create a space where people can listen carefully, reflect honestly and connect beyond roles, labels and social performance. ____________________________ Location: **China Garden Area, Seefeld, Zurich.** The exact meeting point will be shared with registered participants before the gathering. Group size is intentionally kept small. At this stage (this is the third Meet-Up in Zurich), the current gatherings are primarily attended by men and the conversations often reflect themes and experiences that emerge from that context. _________________________ Curious what these gatherings can feel like?

Mäng - transformational game
Mäng - transformational game
EXPERIENCE PHILOSOPHICAL SYNCRETISM, INNER ALCHEMY, AND GAME SPIRIT. Try a live (private) session of **Mäng (offline in Zürich or online worldwide)**, a powerful self-exploration game that helps uncover hidden mental scripts and rewire the way you think, feel and act. It is a tool for a really **profound change** that follows the four stages of inner alchemy. A modernized version of an ancient contemplative practice, reimagined as a transformational tool based on psychological insight, symbolic logic, and inner strategy, it is not therapy or coaching in the traditional sense. Instead, it’s an immersive deep-dive into the unconscious mind through metaphor and archetype with a game spirit. 💡 **How it works:** Mäng is built on four stages of real, lasting change: 1. **Discovery** – Identify limiting beliefs and internal programs 2. **Uninstallation** – Let go of outdated patterns 3. **Design** – Create new mental strategies 4. **Integration** – Embed them into your deeper awareness You’ll be guided through this process by the **Master of Mäng**, who offers structure, questions, and insight, while you remain the one making all decisions and discoveries. 🌿 **Who is this for?** For everyone (regardless of beliefs, age, gender, etc.), but more than anyone - for those who didn't find answers or sufficient depth in pop coaching and psychology. 🕒 **Important:** This is a deep game. A full session lasts **4 hours**. Time slots are defined individually. Contact me directly to get an appointment. Price for newbies: 250 CHF

Bondage Photography Demonstration
Bondage Photography Demonstration
**The event has been canceled.** *Note: this is a demonstration event only, you **will not** shoot you own images. However, if you bring your camera we can test it for compatibility with the studio lights.* Bondage elements can add an extra layer of emotion and artistry to your images. Sample images on the internet are however dominated by BDSM style shots that are often sexualized and emphasize the model being in distress. In this demonstration Rachel and I show ways to use bondage elements in an artistic way. We explore the types of accessories that work best in artistic images and the best way to photograph them. Our model is Rachel Adams, an internationally known fetish model with many years of experience in this genre.
