Open Sharing Circle ✨ Dieser Circle findet auf Deutsch statt. Wir kommen zusammen, um im Moment präsent zu sein und uns so zu zeigen, wie wir wirklich sind. Die Intention ist, in einem sicheren und vertrauensvollen Raum zu teilen — Gedanken, Emotionen, Ziele, Meinungen — alles, was sich für dich im Moment lebendig anfühlt. Niemand muss etwas teilen, und jede*r ist willkommen. ⸻ Worum geht es? • Stärkung von Selbstwahrnehmung & Selbstvertrauen • Persönliches Wachstum • Aufbau tiefer Beziehungen & Vertrauen • Menschen auf einer echten, menschlichen Ebene kennenlernen • Sich frei fühlen, sich authentisch auszudrücken ⸻ Circle-Vereinbarungen Frei & freiwillig Du darfst alles teilen, was du möchtest — und musst nichts teilen. Sprich aus deiner eigenen Erfahrung Teile aus deiner persönlichen Perspektive: deine Erfahrungen, Gedanken, Gefühle und Wahrnehmungen. Der Raumhalter kann dich dabei sanft unterstützen, indem er als Zeichen eine Hand auf die Brust legt. Respekt & Vertraulichkeit Wir begegnen uns respektvoll und ohne zu urteilen. Was im Circle geteilt wird, bleibt im Circle. Rede-Objekt Nur die Person, die das Rede-Objekt hält, spricht. Verständnisfragen sind willkommen. Redezeit & Raum teilen Nimm dir Zeit beim Teilen und lass gleichzeitig Raum für andere. Ratschläge & Unterstützung Sprich für dich selbst und gib Ratschläge nur mit Einverständnis. Bitte frage ausdrücklich nach, wenn du Ratschläge oder Unterstützung möchtest. Trigger & Emotionen Jede*r ist für die eigenen Gefühle und Themen selbst verantwortlich. Starke Emotionen (z. B. Weinen) sind willkommen und werden respektiert. Unterstützung wird nur angeboten, wenn sie gewünscht ist. Eigene Bedürfnisse Kümmere dich selbst um deine Bedürfnisse (WC, Essen usw.) und respektiere den Gruppenraum. Raumhalter Das Organisationsteam wählt Raumhalter, die den Ablauf des Circles unterstützen und darauf achten, dass die Vereinbarungen eingehalten werden. Der Circle kann bei Bedarf sanft unterbrochen werden. Fokusrunde Der Raumhalter kann intuitiv eine kurze Fokusrunde initiieren, wenn es unterstützend wirkt. Mobiltelefone Bitte schalte dein Handy auf lautlos und nutze es nur für Notizen, falls nötig. Zeit Dauer: ca. 3 Stunden. Du kannst jederzeit gehen, idealerweise während der Pausen (etwa alle 45 Minuten). Nach dem Circle gibt es Raum, um zu bleiben, sich zu verbinden oder weiter zu teilen, wenn du magst.

Liebe Filmliebhaber **15.45 Kochen** **17.15 Essen, um Freundschaften aufzubauen und zu pflegen** **19.00 Film privat anschauen** **21.15 Besprechung** Das Drehbuch stammt von Sönke Wortmann, Rochus Hahn, Regie führte Sönke Wortmann Wir freuen uns über jeden, der kommen kann und Freude am gemeinsamen Besprechen hat. **Handlung:** 1954, 9 Jahre nach dem Ende des 2. Weltkrieges, gewinnt Deutschland überraschend die Fussball-Weltmeisterschaft in der Schweiz. Ein Krieg kann nur geführt werden, wenn der Wunsch nach Zugehörigkeit und Bedeutung auf etwas Höheres ausgerichtet wird - wie eine Nationalität, eine «bessere» Kultur oder die Rettung einer abstrakten Weltsicht. Der Mensch wird missbraucht und funktionalisiert: Er unterwirft sein Leben und sein gesamtes Fühlen, Denken und Verhalten einer scheinbar guten Sache und gibt sich dabei selbst und die Mitmenschlichkeit ganz auf. Dies ist nur möglich durch eine Erziehung, in der der einzelne Mensch sich unbedeutend, ausgeliefert und weitgehend unverbunden empfinden lernt. Der einzelne Mensch hat dann nicht erlebt und glaubt nicht daran, dass er sein Leben selbst beglückend aufbauen kann - zusammen mit anderen. Er fühlt sich nur bedeutungsvoll und entwickelt Hochgefühle, wenn er zu einer höheren Aufgabe auserkoren wird. In dieser Verwirrtheit der Gefühle lässt er sich sogar auf die Schlachtbank führen und opfert voraussehbar seine Familie, Ehepartner, Kinder, Freunde, Beruf, Gesundheit oder das Leben und sein Hab und Gut. Wenn das angestrebte Höhere durch einen Krieg verloren geht, fühlt er sich gedemütigt und erniedrigt - statt vom Elend befreit. Statt der Friede an sich und das gemeinsame Leben, führte für viele Deutsche erst der Sieg in der Fussball-Weltmeisterschaft wieder zu einem Gefühl, jemand zu sein. Der Film «Das Wunder von Bern» zeigt aus deutscher Sicht die Weltmeisterschaft. Gleichzeitig erlaubt es das Drehbuch, nachzuvollziehen, was der Krieg und die 11-jährige Gefangenschaft eines Vaters für eine Familie, die Familie Lubanski, bedeutet. Die Mutter hatte sich alleine mit ihren 3 Kindern in den verelendeten Nachkriegsjahren durchgekämpft - jahrelang in der Hoffnung, dass sie sich bei ihrem Mann anlehnen und das Leben gemeinsam gestalten könnte. Als der Vater heimkommt, ist er ausgezehrt und psychisch zutiefst beeinträchtigt, voller Ängste aus dem Kriegsgeschehen. Er glaubt, alleine für die Familie zuständig werden zu müssen und alleine wieder das Geld zu verdienen, um seine Frau zu entlasten. Er versucht zudem mit Gewalt in der Familie wichtig zu werden, indem er mit Disziplin eine höhere Ordnung herstellt, in der Zuneigung und Milde nicht vorkommen. Zufällig versteht seine Frau, dass seine Erziehung und all seine unmenschlichen Erlebnisse in Krieg und Gefangenschaft ihn von den Menschen fern halten. Sie verurteilt ihn nicht dafür. Sie erklärt sogar ihren Kindern, dass ihr Vater ein Opfer dieser Kriegstreiberei und Disziplinierung ist und er sich wieder der Menschlichkeit annähern muss. So taucht in seiner Phantasie im ganzen Alltagsleben immer wieder das angsterregende Kriegsgeschehen auf und erschüttert ihn. Seine Frau versteht seine seelischen Verstümmelungen und bringt ihrem Mann einfühlsam eine neue Sicht auf das Leben nahe. Sie vertraut darauf, dass er sich verändern kann und ermöglicht ihm damit, dass er ihnen nicht fremd bleibt und in ein gefühlsverbundenes Leben eintauchen kann. Er kann innerlich mit der Zeit freudvollere Tage aufleben lassen und seine seelischen Wunden mit ihr ausheilen. Im Film ist gut nachvollziehbar, wie er nach und nach liebevoll, verständnisvoll und mitfühlend werden kann. Dies wird besonders deutlich daran, wie er sich seinem Jüngsten annähert, mit dem er die Fussballleidenschaft teilt. Symbolisch kann er seine Tränenlosigkeit überwinden, was seine Annäherung an die Mitmenschlichkeit aufzeigt. Dieselbe Botschaft vermittelt eine Schweizer Putzfrau dem Trainer der deutschen Fussballmannschaft, Sepp Hersperger, der selbst seinen Lieblings-Fussballspieler «gerechterweise» sanktionieren und von der Mannschaft ausschliessen will, weil dieser gegen die auferlegten Regeln verstossen hat. Sie plädiert entschieden für ein anderes Menschenbild: Milde statt Strafe - als Beispiel für einen gefühlsverbundenen Umgang, der auch die Disziplinierung verhindert, durch die Krieg erst möglich wird. Ein weiteres Beispiel für einen immer verständnisvolleren Umgang unter Menschen, zeigt sich anhand eines Sport-Reporters der von der Chef-Redaktor auserkoren wird, von der Weltmeisterschaft berichten zu dürfen, just zur Zeit seiner Hochzeitsreise mit seiner Frau. In berührender Weise löst das Ehepaar diese konfliktträchtige Situation auf, indem er sie um Verständnis bittet für seine Karrieremöglichkeiten. Sie als eingefleischte Anti-Fussballerin aus grossbürgerlichem Haus begleitet ihn sogar zum Proletarier-Sport nach Bern und zeigt ihm damit ihre Liebe. Genauso begeistert er sich für sie, so dass er darauf verzichtet, privilegiert mit dem Zug der Weltmeister mitzureisen, um stattdessen ihre Schwangerschaft zu feiern. Die Drehbuchschreiber Sönke Wortmann und Rochus Hahn zeigen einfühlsam und detailliert viele psychologisch entscheidende Vorgänge auf, die zu einem friedlichen und verständnisvollen Zusammenleben führen.

## (Lesson 2) ## What to expect Project Equilibrium is an in-person introduction to disciplined, rule-based trading automation. This first event is designed to be clear, practical, and approachable no hype, no pressure, and no prior technical background required. ### Why we meet (two-session structure) This meetup is structured as **two lessons**: **Lesson 1 — The “Why” (mindset + framework)** * What Project Equilibrium is (and what it is not) * Why we focus on process, rules, and execution discipline * What “24/7 execution” means in practice * Q&A and open discussion **Lesson 2 — The “How” (step-by-step setup)** * A simple walkthrough of the basic tools you need * Step-by-step guidance to install and prepare the required exchange apps/accounts * A clear checklist to be ready for future sessions (You won’t be left alone—everything is explained calmly and in order.) ### What to bring To make the second lesson smooth, please bring: * **A smartphone** (for authentication and exchange app setup) * **A laptop** (for the setup steps and configuration) If you only have one device, you can still join Lesson 1. The setup lesson is simply easier with both. ### Who this is for * People curious about algorithmic execution and portfolio discipline * Beginners who want a structured approach * Experienced traders who want more consistency and less stress ### Agenda * Welcome + introductions * Lesson focus of the day (Why / How) * Guided walkthrough (where applicable) * Q&A + next steps ### How to find the group * Arrive a few minutes early and look for the **Project Equilibrium** group. * I will be there to welcome attendees if you’re unsure, simply ask the venue staff for the Meetup group name.

Sundays, 2pm-3pm. Trial class: CHF 20 Drop-in: CHF 35 "I'll never be able to handstand". You kick at the wall but see no progress. Your wrists hurt. You don't know how to improve... It doesn't have to be this way. Progress doesn't come from trying harder — it comes from practicing smarter. Handstands are a skill, and when you train them as such, they begin to click in a way that feels almost magical. This class builds the foundations (strength, alignment and technique) that make handstands feel achievable and fun. Through clear progressions and personalized drills, you'll discover how capable your body truly is, and how handstands start to feel within reach when you train with intention and support. Because drills are tailored to you, the class welcomes all levels — from "I've never kicked up before" to confident freestanding balancers who want to develop greater control. If the class is full on MeetUp, you'll find more spots here: www.balancewithale.com/zurich/handstand

Welcome cold lovers! We have been practising cold water plunges for over 4 years. We believe in the benefits of cold water exposure. The feeling you get after the swim is magnificent, it makes you feel alive. We have started this group to safely experience the cold water together. We motivate each other, do active warmup exercises, and also share our life stories with a warm coffee/tea afterwards. The event is every Sunday at 11:30 no matter the weather. Take along: a large towel, comfortable bathing suit, flip-flops, and warm clothes (hat, gloves, etc). If you’re planning swimming out take along a bright swim buoy. The event is Free. IMPORTANT: Every participant takes responsibility for themselves when attending this event. Before attempting cold water exposure, individuals with health conditions (e.g., heart problems or hypertension) should seek advice from a healthcare professional. Safely acclimating the body to cold temperatures requires preparation and gradual exposure.

(Note: RSVPing here on meetup does NOT reserve your seat. To do that, you’ll need to register at our website, **[HERE](https://www.coreerocks.com/Events.aspx?ID=Columbus-in-person-chapter-meeting-Your-2026-Buy-Box-Successful-Rentals-101-14-3-3-2026)**.) Let’s be honest. In 2026, you can’t use 2023 strategies and “hope” a deal works out. Demand for rentals, wholesale deals, retail deals, and even loans has changed, and that means that the most active, experienced investors have changed the way they do deals (and maybe even the kinds of deals they’ll do). Here at COREE, our job is to shortcut your learning curve by introducing you to the people and concepts you need to take the shortest path from here to financial freedom, and we think you’ll agree that this meeting is a no-brainer, if you’re serious about making wealth-building deals this year. Here’s the detailed agenda: From 6:00–7:00 p.m., From 7:30–9:00 p.m., Agenda: 5:00–6:00 p.m. Complimentary Light Dinner & Networking 6:00–7:00 p.m\*\*. New Investor Meeting: Basics of Making Money in Rentals with Vena Jones-Cox\*\*. If you’re planning to buy rentals today, you have to know how to evaluate the REAL income and expenses before you make an offer. If you’re new, you’ll finally understand how rentals really produce profit. If you’ve been around a while, you’ll see how today’s numbers change the math. 7:00 –7:30 **Buy-Sell-Trade (Members Only)** Bring your deals, money, buyer lists, referrals, and requests. Fast-moving. Bring flyers or business cards. Guests get a quick orientation with Executive Director Vena Jones-Cox. 7:30–9:00 p.m. **Main Meeting: Your 2026 Buy Box: What Experienced Investors are Buying in 2026 (and what they won’t touch).** Our panel of active, experienced investors will lay out their 2026 buy boxes. Not hypotheticals. Not “in theory.” What they are actually buying—and what they won’t touch. They’ll share: * What property types investors are actively pursuing * What strategies they’ve stopped using * The exact numbers they require before they say yes * How insurance, taxes, and rates have tightened the buy box * What instantly disqualifies a deal in today’s market * How to define your own 2026 buy box based on capital and risk tolerance Members and non-members at any level of knowledge and experience are welcome—as long as you’re serious about real estate, value experience-based, no B.S. education, and want to give as much as you get. Remember, to actually reserve your seat, you have to go **[HERE](https://www.coreerocks.com/Events.aspx?ID=Columbus-in-person-chapter-meeting-Your-2026-Buy-Box-Successful-Rentals-101-14-3-3-2026)** and register on our website!

THANK YOU: This CMG Gives Back event provides an opportunity for YOU to get involved in helping others! Benefits go well beyond the help we give to others. Volunteering provides a wide range of personal benefits, including positive effects on mental and physical health, reduced stress/depression/anxiety, increased happiness and improved purpose, life-satisfaction and personal well-being! Plus, the opportunity to get involved, connect with others and help those in need. PARTNER AGENCY: This event is hosted by Lutheran Social Services (LSS), which serves thousands of people in need each day in 27 Ohio counties by addressing the four core societal issues of food, shelter, safety and healing. LSS offers food through the LSS Food Pantries, housing and supportive services through LSS Faith Mission and LSS Faith Mission of Fairfield County homeless shelters, domestic violence services through LSS CHOICES for Victims of Domestic Violence, senior living and health care, affordable housing communities, and other services that uplift families and strengthen communities. Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
