**Brief description:** Starting from Urnäsch, we set off on an uphill hike towards the Hochalp, where we are treated to fantastic views of the Säntis and the Alpstein region. Continuing past the Alp Oberer Chenner, the trail offers steep but highly rewarding climbs to the striking Hochfläschen and the Spicher, where a breathtaking 360-degree panorama awaits, reaching all the way to Lake Constance. Finally, leaving the rugged mountain paths behind, we enjoy a peaceful change of scenery, walking dry-footed across the beautiful wooden boardwalks of a tranquil moorland before arriving at our final destination, Schwägalp.

It is your own responsibility to prepare appropriately before the event: You need to understand what activity is foreseen, assess the difficulty, risks and dangers and the expected weather conditions. Furthermore, you need to assess the requirements regarding experience, capabilities and fitness condition, and judge if you personally have the necessary experience, capabilities and fitness level. You yourself also need to assure adequate preparation, equipment (boots, clothes, gear...) and insurance cover and do everything as if you were going by yourself. During the event it is also your own responsibility to apply your own judgement and to take considerate responsible decisions yourself, fully within your own responsibility and judgement.

The organiser just offers you to join one another and to go together, but holds no responsibility for anything, including injuries or death that might result directly or indirectly from this event.

The weather is rather mediocre for the upcoming days ... that is up until Sunday. Therefore, we will head once again to sunny Ticino for a great day of hiking and connecting with nature. Temperatures will rise up to 27°C, but no worries, as always I will carefully select a nicely shaded route with the chance to dip our feet into the fresh and sparkling water. Join for a full day in nature, with a picnic in this enchanting greenery. If you join for the hike allow some time for dinner at one of the best pizzeria followed by some authentic Gelato in Bellinzona (hence the relatively late return – obviously this is optional. Without the evening delight you will be back in Zürich by 21:00). Important: This is not a beginners hike. You should be in good physical condition. **This is a guided hike by a Swiss certified mountain leader and the participation fee is set at 20 CHF.** If you are joining for the first time, kindly send me your full name and WhatsApp number via direct message on meetup upon sign-up. Once you sign up, you will be temporarily on the waiting list. As soon as I have received your whatsapp message you will receive payment instructions and you will be moved to the list of participants once you have wired the participation fee via TWINT. Further details (what to bring & how to dress) will be shared in the WhatsApp group that will be created on Friday prior to the hike. The group size is limited to 10 participants only.

Do you want more motivation and confidence to build Lasting Relationships? This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships. Are you burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival, while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life.
