The Art of Meaningful Conversations | Are You Truly Living or Just Repeating?
**⚠️ Registration via Luma is required.**
Meetup RSVP alone does not confirm your spot.
[Register here](https://luma.com/tiaqz6ga)
Maximum group size: 8 participants.
***
Meaningful Conversations Zurich is a small and intentional gathering space for people who value honest conversations, thoughtful reflection and genuine human connection.
A space to slow down, listen carefully and speak more openly than we usually do in everyday life.
There is no specific expertise required and no expectation to perform, impress or have the right answers.
Each gathering explores a small number of questions connected to everyday life, relationships, responsibility, purpose, uncertainty, personal growth and the human experience.
The Questions of the Gathering (28th of June) are these:
*\* Where in my life have I become repetitive, numb or disconnected from what feels alive?*
*\* What currently deserves more of my attention than I am giving it?*
*\* Where am I forcing something that may no longer be aligned with who I am becoming?*
*\* What helps me distinguish between noise and what genuinely matters?*
The intention is not to debate or convince one another, but to create space for genuine exchange and different perspectives.
**Who this is for**
This gathering may resonate with you if you enjoy thoughtful conversations, personal reflection, curiosity about different perspectives, and meeting people beyond the usual networking or social small talk.
**Practical Information**
• Limited to 10 participants to support meaningful connection and a comfortable atmosphere.
• The participant mix continues to evolve with each gathering. Diverse perspectives and experiences are warmly welcomed and help enrich the quality of the conversations.
• The gathering takes place outdoors whenever possible, usually near the lake in Zurich. In case of bad weather, an indoor alternative will be communicated in advance.
Registration
To keep things organised, registration happens through Luma rather than through WhatsApp messages.
***
Location:
**China Garden Area, Seefeld, Zurich.**
The exact meeting point will be shared with registered participants before the gathering.
Since launching in Zurich, several participants have already returned for multiple gatherings

Batik Tulis Workshop – Wax & Dye Textile Art (Zurich)
**Step away from the pace of everyday life and spend a day immersed in the quiet rhythm of batik.**
Batik is a traditional wax-resist textile art where patterns emerge slowly through the interaction of hot wax and dye. The process invites patience, attention, and a different sense of time — one where the act of making becomes as important as the final piece.
In this studio workshop we will explore the traditional batik tulis process using canting (the wax drawing tool) and dye.
The day unfolds gradually: observing how wax flows, how colour layers develop, and how patterns begin to reveal themselves on cloth.
Working with batik often becomes a quiet conversation between intention and discovery — balancing moments of control with moments of letting go as the wax and dye take their course. Many participants find that the process creates a natural space for focus, reflection, and an inner dialogue that unfolds through making.
During the workshop you will:
• learn the fundamentals of traditional batik wax-resist techniques
• create two small batik textiles (one guided, one your own design)
• experience the slow, meditative rhythm of working with wax, colour, and pattern

Urban Sketching @ Botanischer Garten Grüningen
< \* \* \* English version below \* \* \* >
DE
Nach einigen Treffen in der Stadt machen wir wieder einmal einen kleinen Ausflug ausserhalb von Zürich. Unser Ziel ist der [Botanische Garten Grüningen](https://maps.app.goo.gl/CJaHZA7BzW2MNqDw9?g_st=ic), der auf einem Hügel oberhalb des historischen Städtchens liegt und den Charakter eines Arboretums hat. Das preisgekrönte Schauhaus, Bäume und Sträucher aus aller Welt sowie die unterschiedlichen Aussenräume bieten viele Motive zwischen Pflanzenstudie und Architektur. Und auch bei fast jedem Wetter lohnt sich der Weg: Es gibt mehrere geschützte Plätze zum Zeichnen und Unterstehen, nicht nur im Schauhaus selbst. Wir freuen uns sehr, im Garten willkommen zu sein, und danken herzlich für die Einladung.
**Treffpunkt**
Beim Eingang des Botanischen Gartens Grüningen.
**Anreise**
Mit den öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln erreicht ihr den Garten ab Zürich, Winterthur oder Rapperswil via S-Bahn nach Wetzikon ZH und weiter mit dem Bus 867 bis Grüningen, Im Haufland. Ab Uster fährt der Bus 845 ebenfalls bis Grüningen, Im Haufland. Von dort sind es rund 20 Minuten zu Fuss bis zum Garten.
Wer mit dem Auto kommt: Gratisparkplätze sind vorhanden.
Mehr Informationen zu Anreise findet ihr unter:

**Eintritt**

Bitte bringt euer eigenes Zeichenmaterial und idealerweise einen kleinen Klapphocker mit. Keine Vorkenntnisse nötig. Wir skizzieren rund 2 Stunden, allein oder in kleinen Gruppen, ganz entspannt. Danach treffen wir uns wieder, zeigen unsere Sketches und machen ein Gruppenfoto. Als Leitfaden dienen die Werte der Urban Sketchers: https://urbansketchers.org/de/who-we-are/#mission/

After several meetups in the city, it is time for another small trip outside Zurich. Our destination is the [Botanical Garden Grüningen](https://maps.app.goo.gl/CJaHZA7BzW2MNqDw9?g_st=ic), set on a hill above the historic little town and shaped like an arboretum. The award-winning greenhouse, trees and shrubs from around the world, and the varied outdoor spaces offer plenty of sketching subjects somewhere between plant study and architecture. Even in less-than-perfect weather, the visit is well worth it: there are several sheltered places to draw and take cover, not only inside the greenhouse itself. We are very pleased to be welcomed to the garden and would like to warmly thank our hosts for the invitation.
**Meeting point**
At the entrance to the Botanical Garden Grüningen.
**Getting there**
By public transport, you can reach the garden from Zurich, Winterthur or Rapperswil via S-Bahn to Wetzikon ZH, then bus 867 to Grüningen, Im Haufland. From Uster, take bus 845 to Grüningen, Im Haufland. From the bus stop, it is about a 20-minute walk to the garden.
If you are coming by car, free parking is available.
More information can be found here: [https://www.botanischer-garten.ch/den-garten-besuchen/](https://www.botanischer-garten.ch/den-garten-besuchen/)
**Entrance**
The entrance is free of charge.
Please bring your own drawing materials and, ideally, a small folding stool. No prior experience required. We sketch for about 2 hours, solo or in small groups, at an easy pace. Afterwards we regroup, share our sketches and take a group photo. As always, we follow the Urban Sketchers values: https://urbansketchers.org/who-we-are/#mission/

Zurich Kundalini Yoga/Meditation (Donation Basis)
Dear All,
This session is mainly for the people who want to learn kundalini yoga/meditation in a traditional way. Traditionally the master will transfer his/her kundalini energy to the student to activate his important chakras (energy centre) including Third Eye and Crown Chakra. The student can start to feel his/her Kundalini Energy is rising from their base of the spine and feeling the energy vibration(Consciousness) in the third eye (the space between the eyebrows) from the Kundalini Activation. This session is helpful for the beginners who want to learn simple yoga-meditation exercises also.
This is a general session to experience your inner kundalini energy. But if you need proper kundalini activation(Shaktipat), then pre-registration is mandatory.
**What is included in this session?**
Simple stretching practices for Hip and Spine (not complicated, even beginners can do)
Kundalini Breathing Techniques
Sound Energy (Mantra) Meditation
Energy Healing Techniques
Formal Kundalini Activation (optional and only for pre-registered people)
Chakra Meditation
Yoga Nidra (Relaxation)
**Some of the benefits of Kundalini Energy Activation are:**
Keeps the body healthy
Mind attains its natural peaceful state, so the meditation becomes easy.
Breathing pattern will be harmonized
Stress release and peace
Clear & sharp intellect
More intuition
Inner happiness
Clairvoyance and Clairvision
and to the ultimate SELF realization (which will lead to the blissful state - our true state) with enough years of practise
**DONATION BASIS**
**About the Teacher who conducts this session:**
The kundalini wisdom teacher Jayaprakash is practising kundalini yoga since 2005 under the guidance of Self Realized Indian Master "GuruMahan". He is teaching kundalini yoga since 2008 as part of a non-profit organization "Maha Shakthi Yogam Switzerland". He teaches Yoga/Meditation/Pranic Healing/Stress Relief courses in various places of Germany and Switzerland. He is the authorized kundalini yoga wisdom teacher from UPF(India) to give kundalini initiations (Shaktipat) with the Grace and Protection of his Master.
All these events are conducted for non-profit purpose. Donations are collected on behalf of Swiss non-profit organization (Verein) "Maha Shakthi Yogam - Switzerland"
**Eligibility:**
Anyone can attend the session even if they don't have previous yoga/Meditation experiences.
**Dress:**
Wear a comfortable dress if possible yoga dress. We provide the yoga mat.
**Please RSVP only you are really interested and coming ! Limited Seats !**
**About Kundalini Shaktipat:**
In every human being there is a source of natural energy that the yogis call the kundalini. In order to evolve in the yogic path, no matter what our path, the kundalini must be active.
For most of us, the kundalini lies dormant at the bottom of the spine in the base chakra known as the Muladhar. When it awakens, it ascends through the chakras until it reaches the highest chakra, the Sahasrar. When that occurs, we merge with our True Self and attain SELF realization (our true nature).
Shaktipat is the transfer of spiritual energy from the teacher to the student in order to awaken the kundalini. This process is compared to lighting one candle with another that is already lit and glowing. When the teacher is connected with the fully realized master and the energy is completely within his or her control, shaktipat initiation ensures that the student’s energy will remain active and stable. "Electricity is present everywhere, but there can be light only when the switch is turned on. Similarly the true master manifests the consciousness in the disciple through shaktipat.”
**HAPPINESS is our TRUE Nature, which comes from within not from outside !**

Stalker
Based on the novel Roadside Picnic, it is NO picnic, but rather one of the masterpieces of world cinema. Andrei Tarkovsky's 1979 Soviet sci-fi classic, recounts the expedition of a writer and professor led by a mysterious guide called "The Stalker." to a futuristic wasteland called "The Zone." Dripping with existential dread, it continually presents strange occurrences that will have us debating the meaning of what we've just viewed right through the ending.
*Stalker* (1979) can be streamed for free on HBOMax, the Criterion Channel or Kanopy. It's also available for rent on Amazon Prime and AppleTV. The Columbus Library has two copies on disc.
