African Drumming Classes
### [Info and Registration African Drumming](https://forms.gle/wSUGNXMjHBDSePNaA)
### **African Drumming – Feel the Groove!**
Discover the joy of rhythm and community through the vibrant beats of West African drumming. In this course, you’ll learn traditional and modern rhythms on djembes and doundouns (bass drums and bells) — all in a fun, structured, and hands-on way.
We’ll explore the essentials of rhythm and groove, from understanding pulse, beat, and cycle to experiencing how different instruments interact in an ensemble. You’ll play, listen, improvise, and even create your own arrangements together with the group.
Body percussion exercises help you *feel* rhythm from head to toe, while guided theory inputs deepen your understanding of African musical structures — intros, solos, signals, and more.
Our holistic approach connects body, mind, and soul. Through intuitive rhythm games, easy-to-follow exercises, and attention to technique, you’ll build coordination, confidence, and a relaxed, flowing playing style.
Structured learning materials (notation and videos) support your practice between sessions — so you can keep the groove going wherever you are!
A funny and welcoming group is awaiting YOU!
**Reduced rates for holders of IV/AHV and Kulturlegi!**
Trial session is possible.

Zertifizierter VSM Coach – Seminar am 22., 24. und 30. April 2026
Ungewissheit, Volatilität und Komplexität nehmen weiterhin zu. Und damit die Anforderungen an wirkungsvolle Führung und Steuerung. Das dreitägige Seminar zum zertifizierten VSM Coach (Metaphorum) bietet eine umfassende Einführung in das Viable System Model (VSM), ein in den 1960er Jahren von Stafford Beer entwickeltes, bewährtes kybernetisches Modell zur Steuerung von Organisationen jeder Grössenordnung.
Das Viable System Model bildete u.a. in den 1980er Jahren eine wesentliche Grundlage für die Entwicklung des St. Galler Management Modells durch Hans Ulrich und findet sich in Teilen auch in jüngeren Organisationsmodellen wieder. Die jüngsten Entwicklungen im Bereich der künstlichen Intelligenz und die sich daraus ergebenden Möglichkeiten für Führung und Steuerung unterstreichen den Wert und die Zeitlosigkeit des universell anwendbaren Modells, das sein Potenzial aus 4 Mrd. Jahren Evolution bezieht.
**Ziele des Seminars**
Die Teilnehmenden werden umfassend befähigt, Organisationen nach den Prinzipien des Viable System Models systematisch zu analysieren, neu auszurichten und nachhaltig zu optimieren. Sie verstehen und beherrschen die fünf Steuerungsfunktionen der Systeme 1 bis 5 und sind in der Lage, das VSM praktisch anzuwenden und Organisationen effektiv zu transformieren.
Damit erreichen sie eine massgeschneiderte und lückenlose Entscheidungs- und Kommunikationsstruktur, die Agilisierung und Effektivierung des Unternehmens, eine klarere Fokussierung auf Kundennutzen, die Sicherstellung von Komplexitätsfähigkeit bei gleichzeitiger Robustheit, die Sicherstellung kontinuierlicher Anpassung (Lernen & Innovieren), die Klarheit über Verantwortung und Voraussetzungen wirksamer Führung, das Ausschöpfen von Verflachungs- und Vereinfachungspotentialen, die Auflösung von Konfliktherden, das Abwerfen von «Organisationsballast» sowie die Auflösung der Kommunikationsblockaden.

Kuschel-Tempel für erfahrene Kuschler
**mit Elana Andermatt und Andrea Bergamini**
Kuscheln für alle, die schon vertraut sind mit Kuschel-Gruppen, ob bei uns oder anderen Anbietern.
Wir werden weniger Zeit mit den Aufwärm- und Begegnungsübungen machen und mehr Zeit haben, in das Kuschelfeld einzutauschen.
Auch hier ist die "Kuschel-Energie" der nährende, entspannte Kontakt zu anderen, ohne dass es in erotische oder sexuelle Bereiche abgleitet. Es geht um achtsame und absichtslose Berührungen und den 100%-igen Respekt deiner individuellen Grenzen! Und wenn wir dann beim Zusammenliegen immer weniger tun, sondern nur noch sind, dann kann sich das schon mal wie ein “Kuschelhimmel” anfühlen …
* Die Sicherheit des klar strukturierten und geleiteten Abends/Tages und gleichzeitig die Freiräume für Deine individuellen Bedürfnisse und Grenzen.
* Die verschiedenen Ebenen von Kontakt und Verbindung: Berührungen, Worte, der energetische Kontakt (z.B. nur im Augenkontakt) und die Resonanz im Gruppen-Feld.
* Die Stärkung von Selbstkontakt, Eigenwahrnehmung und “Gut-zu-sich-selber-sein”, denn der Kontakt zu anderen kann sich nur in dem Masse vertiefen, wie wir den Kontakt zu uns selber vertiefen können.
* Die Öffnung für “die grösseren Räume”, die uns auf einer spirituellen Ebene nähren und verbinden, so dass Gefühle von Frieden und "Nach-Hause-kommen" durch die Gemeinschaft UND durch die Verbindung zum Grösseren genährt werden.
* Die ganz persönlichen Momente, in denen du ganz entspannt, offen und echt anderen herzoffenen Menschen begegnest.
Klare Kuschel-Regeln für mehr Sicherheit, Vertrauen und Entspannung gelten auch hier:
Wenn du JA sagst bei deiner Anmeldung, sagst du JA zu den klaren Kuschelregeln:
Beim VertiefungsKreis werden diese Regeln nicht mehr explizit genannt, da wir annehmen, dass sie bekannt sind.
* Keine Berührung im Intimbereich und an erogenen Zonen. Keine Küsschen oder Hände unter dem TShirt. Erotische Energie wird nicht angefacht. Wir bleiben auf der Ebene des brüderlichen und schwesterlichen kuscheligen Herzens.
* Du kannst dein Tempo jederzeit wählen, wie schnell und nahe du mit anderen sein möchtest oder wie oft du auch Momente für dich alleine brauchst.
* Ein NEIN ist ein NEIN. Achte drauf, dass du deine und andere Grenzen des Wohlbefindens respektierst.

Hello dear Challengers,
if you wish to join the Limmat swim and strengthen your body, join me to that swim. I will give you a short introduction on the "why" you should do it and then you will tell me if you want to do it. I am a trained lifeguard (SLRG), I did also the Hypothermia Module and I am swimming in the cold since 2015.
Take with you all the necessary to swim, flip/flop, safe buoy (something like the orange donut here below, if you have it) and a Thermos.

Unknown Number: The High School Catfish
A very unusual choice for his group... Unknown Number: High School Catfish is an American [true crime](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_crime "True crime") documentary film directed by [Skye Borgman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skye_Borgman "Skye Borgman") and released to [streaming](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streaming_media "Streaming media") on [Netflix](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netflix "Netflix") on August 29, 2025.
The documentary explores the events and investigation into an unknown person [cyberbully](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberbullying "Cyberbullying") and [harassing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harassment "Harassment") teenagers in [Beal City, Michigan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beal_City,_Michigan "Beal City, Michigan") using an unknown number via insults and sexual claims. It also explores the increasingly great impact of the harassment on the community, the eventual reveal of the culprit, and the trial that followed.
IMPORTANT INFO: I strongly suggest not reading anything about it online before seeing it. It's best viewed with no previous knowledge. This documentary contains crude terminology and deals with cyberbullying, which may be a trigger for some folks.

Men's Group meetup
**The idea for this group is to build a community where men can gather together and build connections & learn and grow from each other.**
How we start each meeting is by each of us checking in with our "roses and thorns" aka what are the good things and the bad things going on in your life recently?
Then we will go into a topic discussion.
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
**COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS**
\*\*THERE WILL BE A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY FOR NO-SHOWS. IF YOU RSVP TO A MEETING AND FAIL TO SHOW UP WITHOUT NOTICE, YOU'LL BE REMOVED FROM THE GROUP. THIS IS TO PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY OF THE GROUP\*\*
1. Confidentiality - EVERYTHING that is shared NEVER leaves this space so that this space remains safe and sacred. There is a zero tolerance policy for this. If a man is in violation of this, they will be permanently removed from the group.
2. Non-Judgement - we respect and honor every man’s truth so that we may receive the same from others. While we may not agree on everything, we commit to respecting every man’s perspectives and engaging in honorable discussion with one another.
3. Be committed - honor your commitment to this group and to yourself. If you attend a meeting, please commit yourself fully to the meeting. Also be committed to your own journey. When we fail, we own it & clean it up.
4. Speak from the heart - this is NOT a space to “look good”, have the “right” answers, and have it all together. Relax and know you are not alone. Be exactly who you are within the safety of this space.
5. Be supportive - This means always willing to provide encouragement to your fellow men, encourage action and momentum in each other’s lives.. Be willing to challenge each other. Be willing to hold each other accountable.
6. Participation - what you receive from this community will be a reflection of what you put into it. Period. We ask that you share your perspectives, reflect on others, and give/receive support when and where it’s needed.

**Abstract**
GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise.
We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration.
Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team.
