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 **Uninstallation** – Let go of outdated patterns 3.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

Zum Mond und zurück
Zum Mond und zurück
**Zum Mond und zurück: Was ist die Mathematik dahinter?** Nach einer erfolgreichen Wasserlandung im Pazifischen Ozean wurde **Artemis II** zur ersten bemannten Mission seit über 50 Jahren, die den Mond umrundet und wieder zur Erde zurückgekehrt ist. **Dahinter steckt jede Menge Mathematik.** Warum starten Raketen möglichst nahe am Äquator? Warum gibt es nur ein kurzes „Startfenster“? Wie berechnet man die Flugbahn eines Raumfahrzeugs? Und wann genau muss eine Rakete ihre Triebwerke für ein Manöver zünden? Mit **nur grundlegenden Mathematikkenntnissen** und einem neugierigen Geist entdecken Sie die faszinierende Mathematik hinter **einer Reise zum Mond und zurück**. Begleiten Sie uns zu einem Abend voller Entdeckung und orbitalem Denken.

Jules and Jim, the Book!
By popular demand, the group wanted to read and discuss the semi-autobiographical novel by Henri-Pierre Roche, that inspired the Truffaut movie we watched last year. The book is available through the Columbus Library's interlibrary loan system. They reported there are twenty-eight copies available in the state of Ohio. If you have a library card, you can file an interlibrary loan request here: https://www.columbuslibrary.org/library-services/ . There are also used copies available on Amazon and eBay for under twenty dollars. You may want to rewatch the movie after reading the book, so we can compare and contrast in our discussion. The Columbus Library has four copies on DVD, and it's streaming on HBOMax.
