Final film screening: Sonic Sea
Join us for the final screening of the series dedicated to the marine life preservation hosted by the International volunteers of WWF.
We close the series with *Sonic Sea* — a powerful and award-winning documentary that explores the hidden impact of ocean noise pollution on marine life. Through stunning visuals and compelling stories, the film reveals how human-made sound affects whales, dolphins and the delicate balance of our oceans.
This special closing event is an opportunity to reflect, connect and continue the conversation about protecting our planet’s ecosystems.
After the screening, we invite everyone to stay for a short discussion and informal networking.
📍 Hosted by WWF International Volunteers

We look forward to sharing this meaningful evening with you.
Pelvique (intim.Flex)
Most workouts ignore the place where pleasure, power, movement, and self-trust meet.
This class starts there.
What this is
A women’s movement class that blends somatic fitness, pelvic training, breath, regulation, and embodied release.
We train the body where many women want more freedom, sensation, and confidence:
the pelvis, hips, legs, core, breath, and nervous system.
The result is not just a stronger body.
It is a body that feels more available, more responsive, more alive.
Why it’s different
This class works from the center outward.
Through active movement patterns, angle work, holds, pleasure-linked endurance, breath-led pacing, and release, your body learns new options:
more mobility, more stability, more softness, more choice.
You build strength without hardening, openness without forcing, and pleasure without turning it into performance.
Pelvis
We train the center that shapes how you move, hold yourself, breathe, and feel.
Pelvic mobility and strength can change not only posture and movement, but also how supported, confident, and free you feel in intimacy.
Life Force
Pleasure is not treated here as something random or performative.
It is something the body becomes more available for when there is strength, breath, space, and self-contact.
What some call libido, we also understand as life force — the spark behind sensuality, creativity, confidence, and aliveness.
Regulation
Real opening is not forced. It is regulated.
That is why this class includes not only activation, but also the shift into release: breath, pelvic floor relaxation, jaw and face softening, and moments that bring you out of the head and back into the body.

**CONFERENCE LINE-UP**
\*\*\*
TIM HERBIG (Product Coach and Author of *Real Progress,* Hamburg): **Improving your Product Strategy in Real Time**
Product Strategy doesn’t have to be this mysterious, monolithic artifact others get to work on and you don’t get clarity from. When we turn from frameworks and slides to the fundamental questions strategy needs to answer, a new possibility of pragmatic decision-making emerges – No matter your company size, industry, or job title. In this workshop-from-the stage, we will create clarity for your product strategy challenges by tackling them live and in real-time in Miro. Be prepared to come with your real-life questions, and leave with clarity on your next step.
DOMINIQUE JOST (Head of Product at Doist, Bern): **End-to-End PM or End-of PM?**
No hype. No hero stories. Just the practical, unfiltered lessons from [Doist](https://www.doist.com/)’s (makers of [Todoist](https://www.todoist.com/) and [Twist](https://twist.com/)) shift toward end-to-end PMs, and what AI is and isn’t changing about the craft. If you want a grounded, and messy view of what PM work will look like in the next few years, this talk is for you.
JULIA BASTIAN (Product Lead Innovation & GenAI at Alasco, Munich): **AI Discovery Slop - The research that looks shiny but is sh\*tty**
AI has made discovery output faster and shinier than ever. But fast and shiny is not the same as deep and true. Real discovery is about finding contradictions, sitting with complexity, and synthesising and not about smoothing everything into a polished blur. Product people have stopped thinking. And nobody notices because the output looks great. But product sense is built through thinking, not through consuming. This talk is about what real discovery looks like in the age of AI - for both B2B and B2C companies. Stop consuming shiny discovery slop. Start thinking again.
STEPHANIE HÜRLAND (Head of AI Products and Strategy at ZDFSparks): **Two worlds, one role** – **AI Product Management through client and provider lenses**
AI product management is shaped by two fundamentally different perspectives: the viewpoint of product teams defining needs, goals, and strategic direction, and the viewpoint of those responsible for designing, building, and delivering the actual AI solution. Both perspectives influence how decisions are made, how value is defined, and how complexity and uncertainty are managed throughout the product lifecycle.
The session provides an overview of the key differences and shared challenges between these two perspectives, and highlights what successful AI product management requires when navigating both. The session includes practical examples that illustrate how different perspectives influence the way AI products are shaped, evaluated, and developed.
SEBASTIAN CASTANEDA (former Team Lead at Foodora, Vienna): **Driving growth with limited engineering capacity: How creative experiments lifted Foodora's tips by 60%**
Foodora Austria raised rider tips by 60%, while facing a challenge: after a couple of complex iterations and proper A/B tests, engineering capacity became limited. In this talk, we’ll go through the experiments they ran, including the trade-offs and challenges, learning what worked and what didn’t. We will explore how small UI tweaks, working with data, and understanding the cultural context can drive growth, even if you do not have a large analytics team or advanced testing tools.
FLORIAN BONNET (VP Solutions & Growth at Veriff): **How to turn oproduct work into revenue outcomes with KPI trees**
Product teams often track many metrics but struggle to clearly connect their work to business impact. This talk introduces North Star Metrics and KPI Trees as a practical framework for understanding product performance, customer behavior, and the levers that drive revenue outcomes.
Florian will walk through how effective KPI Trees are structured, how North Star Metrics are typically defined across different contexts, and why this approach works for organizations of any size or model. Through concrete examples, you’ll see how KPI Trees can go beyond performance tracking to help translate product metrics into the language of business — bridging the gap that often exists between product teams and leadership.
You’ll leave with a clearer mental model of how outcome-driven product organizations connect day-to-day work to measurable business results.

Women Who Wonder
**Women Who Wonder, intergenerational Women's Circle**
**The topic of this circle is "What is love?"** The question came up in the last circle. In this circle, we will explore love and how we can support ourselves and our neighbourhood in being and becoming the loving space we need and deserve.
**Why we need an intergenerational women's circle**
Since the industrialisation of the 19th century, we have been segregated into age groups since kindergarten. This disconnect between generations costs us well-being, resilience, and even years of our lives. Women Who Wonder brings back the receptive, responsive relationships between generations.
We sit together in a circle for 90 minutes, not to advise but to share, listen to and witness each other. Each participant speaks without interruption and can ask for the kind of response she would like, or silent appreciation. Being witnessed this way creates a tangible, lifting energy.
**About the topic: What is love?**
We have been created by love and raised in an environment we perceived as love, an environment that meets our needs. Could we just be ourselves, or did we need to be a certain way for that? How are we being loving today, and what do we need from our neighbourhood to feel safe and loved?
**How it works**
Every participant shares what she likes to. We pass an hourglass as our talking piece. To create a safe and confidential space, every attendee signs our circle agreements on arrival. In short: we don't interrupt, we are non-judgemental, we don't fix, and we don't sell services. What is shared in the circle stays in the circle.
**About me**
My name is Barbara, Dr. Barbara Kleeb, I'm a coach, healer, gynaecologist and obstetrician with experience from birth to consultation, from hormones to operation. I am interested in many things, have written and recorded songs and created an online networking event for polymaths that lights people up. I feel that it is time for women to support each other, to learn with and from each other across generations.
**Practical details**
This meeting costs 50 francs. You can pay in cash on arrival. Students and AHV with card 30 francs. Sponsorships available on request, send me a message. Places are limited to 20 women.
The circle is held in Swiss German and English.
**Where and when**
**Seeburg Park Zürich**, 8008 Zürich.
Date: **Friday, June 12th, 5:00–6:30 pm**
**How to find it**
You can enter Seeburg Park Zürich either from Zollikerstrasse, Bus 33, Botanischer Garten, or from Feldeggstrasse, Tram 11 and 15, walk up Feldeggstrasse, turn right at Mühlebachstrasse, and find the park entrance and spot us in the park.
Take whatever makes sense for you to sit, a towel, a cushion, or a folding chair (I will sit on a chair).
It will be a bit cold, so you might need a cozy jumper and a warm blanket to sit on and wrap around your legs.
**When it's truly heard, your story becomes wisdom**

"Metal Slinger" by Rachel Schneider
Join us as we discuss our June pick: Metal Slinger by Rachel Schneider!
Book description:
Even though she's not one of them, Brynn has spent her life among the Alaha, training to be a guard and waiting for the chance to attend the annual market hosted by the Kenta–the very same people who exiled her adopted community to a life at sea. Going to the market is a rite of passage eagerly anticipated by all young guards, but Brynn does not anticipate breaking a century-long peace treaty while there. Nor does she plan for the intense encounter with an enemy soldier that now threatens to unwind the fragile coexistence between their people–and everything Brynn once believed about herself to be true.
Brynn's loyalty to the Alaha is tested when the truth of her identity is brought to light by this soldier who's taken an oath to bring her back to where she belongs. Narrowly escaping death on the violent high seas, Brynn's connection to the Alaha is further tested when she learns about the world of magic she's been denied. She was once certain of her fate and where she belonged, but the dark, knowing eyes of this stranger have her questioning everything, including her heart.
Packed with knife fights and seafaring adventure, METAL SLINGER is the smash-hit start to the romantic fantasy duology, the Fire & Metal series
Bad Girls Book Club June 2026
**Our June novel is: *The Eights* by Joanna Miller**
**This month’s novel is set during World War I. It’s a 20th-century historical fiction story about friendship and war, with coming-of-age elements and a slightly haunted tone. The book is 384 pages in print and 10 hours and 9 minutes on audiobook.**
Oxford, 1920. For the first time in its one-thousand-year history, Oxford University officially admits female students. Burning with dreams of equality, four young women move into neighboring rooms in Corridor 8. Beatrice, Dora, Marianne, and Otto—collectively known as The Eights—come from all walks of life, each driven by their own motives, each holding tight to their secrets, and are thrown into an unlikely, unshakable friendship.
Dora was never meant to go to university, but, after losing both her brother and her fiancé on the battlefield, has arrived in their place. Politically-minded Beatrice, daughter of a famous suffragette, sees Oxford as a chance to make her own way - and some friends her own age. Otto was a nurse during the war but is excited to return to her socialite lifestyle in Oxford where she hopes to find distraction from the memories that haunt her. And finally Marianne, the quiet, clever daughter of a village pastor, who has a shocking secret she must hide from everyone, even her new friends, if she is to succeed.
Among the historic spires, and in the long shadow of the Great War, the four women must navigate and support one another in a turbulent world in which misogyny is rife, influenza is still a threat, and the ghosts of the Great War don’t always remain dead.
