Python Web Development

Why do we suffer in a given moment? Is it because we are attached to something? Can we observe suffering without trying to change or judge it? These are the kinds of questions Seneca would ask in his timeless teachings. Through his letters and essays, he urged readers to examine their lives with honesty, discipline, and a commitment to inner freedom. Further, because Stoic ideas often feel logical yet hard to internalize, we will explore together how awareness—drawing on the work of spiritual teacher and author Anthony de Mello—can help bridge that gap. We look forward to seeing you at the event! **Preparation:** We recommend reading this [Article about the book Awareness by A. De Mello](https://becomeconscious.substack.com/p/lessons-from-awareness-by-anthony). **For Philosophical Minds Zurich theme events in general:** At our theme events, we begin with a brief topic introduction, followed by engaging discussions in small groups. It’s all about conversation, not just listening. Also, please note, we keep the atmosphere relaxed and informal—**there’s** **no pressure to speak in front of anyone**. **Important:** When you register for the event, please commit to it and don't be a NO SHOW. Presumably, when the ancient philosophers decided to go to an event, they kept to it.
 We look forward to seeing you. **Payment:** You can pay at the venue (Twint/Revolut/Cash). Thus, if you want to register at Meetup just click attend - no more needed ;). We look forward to seeing you.

An AWS session with Anat. Let's create some beautiful portraits. All you need is a camera with a portrait lens. We will learn how to use a flash meter in this session. But this will only be a small part of the session. Please understand that we have both a model and studio to pay for. This means that we might ask you to still pay if you cancel and we don't get full attendance. The fee is 100 chf.

Welcome to our meetup! In our meetups we openly discuss and share our experiences related to running an Amazon FBA business, Amazon KDP business or other online business out of Switzerland. There's no fixed agenda or presentations/speakers. Everyone gets the chance to shortly introduce his/her experience with online business so far and to discuss any issues he/she is facing at the moment. Our meetups are valuable both for people just starting out as well as for experienced entrepreneurs. Next to providing useful practical information, I believe our meetups are just as valuable for the chance to meet similar minded, motivated entrepreneurs. It's great for your own mindset to meet other people who also think out of the 9-to-5 box. Furthermore, our meetups provide a good networking opportunity: we already have various collaborations between members of our group resulting from our meetups. We will meet in the lobby of the Motel One hotel (Stockerstrasse 61, corner of Brandschenkestrasse; after you entered the motel, you'll find the lobby at the far left). If you like to have a drink, please get it at the bar before coming to the lobby, so we can start on time at 7pm. Meetups are held in English, unless all participants understand German. Please only sign up if you're actually planning on coming. Looking forward to meeting you! \*\*\* no hidden agenda, no one trying to sell you his services, 100% entrepreneurs helping entrepreneurs \*\*\*

This meetup is for women and gender minority programmers in Zurich. As the title says, we meet to code. You can actually code together with someone or just enjoy the company of people coding next to you. You can for example bring your hobby project, a tutorial you'd like to try out or your next challenge on HackerRank. You don't need to come prepared though, you can also just drop by and can get inspired by / pair with someone else. We'll be meeting at the ETH main building (https://ethz.ch/en/campus/access/zentrum.html). Since there might not be any food / drink options open there on the weekend, consider bringing your own coffee if you need it as fuel for the coding :). I'll give a more detailed description where to find us in the comments as soon as I've found a table. While ETH can be tricky to navigate we haven't lost anyone yet! I'm looking forward to seeing you there!

In dieser Session öffnen wir unsere Vibecode Bar – die offene Runde für alle Fragen und Interessen rund ums VibeCoding. Bring deine Projekte, Probleme oder Ideen mit, und wir schauen gemeinsam darauf. Du brauchst keine Vorkenntnisse. Egal, ob du gerade erst neugierig geworden bist oder schon erste Erfahrungen gesammelt hast – alle sind willkommen. Es geht nicht um Perfektion, sondern ums Ausprobieren, Verstehen und Weiterkommen. Vielleicht hast du eine vage Idee, die du endlich konkretisieren willst. Vielleicht steckst du bei einem Projekt fest. Oder du möchtest einfach sehen, wie andere an ihre Themen herangehen. Alles hat Platz. Die Vibecode Bar ist auch ein Ort für Austausch und Vernetzung. Hier triffst du Menschen, die ähnliche Fragen beschäftigen, die experimentieren, testen und dazulernen. Wir teilen Erfahrungen, geben ehrliches Feedback und lernen voneinander. Und weil gute Ideen in entspannter Atmosphäre entstehen, gibt es einen kleinen Apéro mit Snacks. In lockerer Stimmung lässt es sich einfacher fragen, diskutieren und weiterdenken. Kurz: eine offene, unterstützende Runde, in der man sich gegenseitig inspiriert, weiterhilft, neue Kontakte knüpft – und dabei auch noch Spass hat.
