**Walk description:** We start in Stoss in Appenzell at 9:30 and then continue to St Gallen. We must reach it before 19:15 for the concert and 19 would be better because of the sunset. The walk can be significantly shortened in the end by taking the bus if we are not fast enough.

(Because message in a WhatsApp channel can be read by a new member only 30 days before he joins. But you can already enter the corresponding WhatsApp group) If you are concerned about privacy, only the admin of a WhatsApp channel can see who has voted in a poll (unlike a WhatsApp group). Please sign up only when you are certain! You can also register through Meetup, as it helps build momentum; however, I rely only on the number of people who signed up through the WhatsApp survey.

Let's go skiing tomorrow (Sunday, March 22) to Flims-Laax. The forecast is 7 hours of sunshine. We will meet at the valley station of the gondola to Plaun at 10:00. Also I can pick up people at Baden. You won’t miss a tall mate in a bright yellow ski jacket. I will send my WhatApp number to all registered participants by PM here on Meetup. I assume all participants have sufficient skiing experience to feel at ease on read slopes and reasonably negotiate black ones. The event is for responsible individuals who ski at their own risk.

Awe is the moment something stops you—a view, a sound, light through trees. It widens perspective and quiets mental noise. We will go slow. Stop. Discover. Be present to what spring and nature has to offer. An awe walk is a forest bathing practice rooted in being with nature with all your senses for well-being. It is a slow, slow meandering walk with nature. Research shows brief awe walks increase positive emotion and connection, and reduce daily distress. You’ll leave feeling relaxed and restored for the week ahead. You'll learn how to spend time with nature for your well-being. Guided by Catherine Peloquin Certified Nature and Forest Therapy Guide leading teams, private and public groups on nature events for nearly a decade. Donations appreciated. For those who wish, we can find a coffee together afterwards. **Details** • Meet in the back of the Cham train station right past the bike/walk path where Park Villette starts • Dress in layers - we'll be in the shade of the forest with slow, slow walking. • Held rain or shine, bring your umbrella, if needed • Text with questions +41 76 388 43 85

**Confidence & Connection: Using Your Authentic Truth to Find Your People** Confidence isn’t just about believing in yourself, it’s about knowing where you belong and who you can grow alongside. In this April Confidence Lab Happy Hour, we’ll explore how living in your authentic truth helps you find your people, build meaningful collaborations, and create spaces where vulnerability is met with respect rather than risk. Together, we’ll reflect on what it looks like to advocate for yourself with clarity and care, and how confidence deepens when it’s rooted in connection rather than comparison. Featured speaker **Lachandra Baker**, founder of **[LBB Edutainment](https://www.lbbedutainment.com/)** and author of *Your Own Biggest Cheerleader*, will share reflections on authenticity, psychological safety, and the power of community over individual achievement. Drawing from personal stories—including the significance of turning 53—Lachandra will invite us into a conversation about showing up fully, being seen, and choosing relationships that support who you truly are. Expect a warm, welcoming atmosphere with space for reflection, shared insight, and intentional connection—plus drinks, light bites, and the kind of conversations that remind you you’re not meant to do this alone. Come as you are. Leave feeling clearer about your voice, your people, and the confidence that grows when both are aligned. **What is Confidence Lab?** Confidence Lab is a monthly community experience for bold, thoughtful leaders building confidence from the inside out. Whether you’re launching a business, leading a team, navigating change, or simply striving to show up more fully—you belong here. Our work demands clarity, courage, and conviction—but the pace of daily life can erode our sense of self. Confidence Lab creates space to reflect, reconnect, and grow with others doing purpose-driven work. It’s designed for entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, creatives, corporate professionals, activists, and anyone ready to lead with authenticity and impact. ***Please note:*** *All are welcome! If cost is a concern, please use promo code PUBLIC to access a free ticket—we want you to join us.*
