**Step away from the pace of everyday life and spend a day immersed in the quiet rhythm of batik.** Batik is a traditional wax-resist textile art where patterns emerge slowly through the interaction of hot wax and dye. The process invites patience, attention, and a different sense of time — one where the act of making becomes as important as the final piece. In this studio workshop we will explore the traditional batik tulis process using canting (the wax drawing tool) and dye. The day unfolds gradually: observing how wax flows, how colour layers develop, and how patterns begin to reveal themselves on cloth. Working with batik often becomes a quiet conversation between intention and discovery — balancing moments of control with moments of letting go as the wax and dye take their course. Many participants find that the process creates a natural space for focus, reflection, and an inner dialogue that unfolds through making. During the workshop you will: • learn the fundamentals of traditional batik wax-resist techniques • create two small batik textiles (one guided, one your own design) • experience the slow, meditative rhythm of working with wax, colour, and pattern 📍 Location Artiloft – Craft Factory Albulastrasse 24, 8048 Zurich 📅 Dates • May 17, 2026 • June 28, 2026 • August 30, 2026 🕙 Time 10:00–16:30 (with lunch break) 💰 Price CHF 240/ session (materials included) Registration and payment are handled directly by Artiloft: [https://en.artiloft.ch/service-page/batik-cire-teinture](https://en.artiloft.ch/service-page/batik-cire-teinture) Languages: English / German For those who feel drawn to explore batik more deeply, Hazura also hosts small immersive batik retreats in Yogyakarta where participants learn directly with local artisans. The **Subagya Art Retreat** offers a slower cultural immersion into the craft and its living traditions. **Learn more:** [HazuraStudio | Subagya-art-retreat](https://www.hazurastudio.com/subagya-art-retreat)

Der Alltag fordert viel, und die eigenen Bedürfnisse bleiben dabei oft auf der Strecke. In unserem gemeinsamen Workshop **„Leichtigkeit im Alltag“** halten wir die Zeit kurz an. Wir gehen der Frage auf den Grund, wie Stress entsteht, wie du ihn auf körperlicher und mentaler Ebene verstehen kannst und am wichtigsten mit welchen einfachen Werkzeugen du ihn regulierst. Es geht nicht darum, den Stress komplett abzuschaffen, sondern eine neue, souveräne Haltung dazu zu finden. **Was dich erwartet:** * **Verstehen:** Einblicke in die Mechanismen der Stressentstehung und Selbstregulation. * **Erleben:** Praktische Übungen für mehr Präsenz und Achtsamkeit im Hier und Jetzt. * **Verankern:** Strategien, um die gewonnene Leichtigkeit nachhaltig in deinen Alltag zu integrieren. **Gemeinsamer Ausklang:** Nach dem Workshop ist noch nicht Schluss! Wir laden dich herzlich zu einem **gemeinsamen Apéro** ein. In entspannter Atmosphäre hast du die Möglichkeit, dich mit anderen Frauen auszutauschen, Erfahrungen zu teilen oder einfach die neu gewonnene Ruhe bei einem Getränk und kleinen Häppchen zu genießen. Gönn dir diesen Nachmittag für dich. Wir freuen uns darauf, gemeinsam mit dir mehr Leichtigkeit in dein Leben zu bringen!

Join us as we get together to get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event! We have a great little community of Movie Group friends so rather than see a movie this time, we’ll help “create a better world” by helping serve those in need. Here are complete details and our plan for this event: FAITH MISSION – GRANT KITCHEN: The Faith Mission kitchen and dining room serves residents 3 meals a day, every day of the year. For this event, our group will help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents in the dining room, wash dishes, and clean surfaces. PLAN: We will be preparing / serving / cleaning for BRUNCH from 10:30am to 12:30pm and have space for a total of 7 volunteers. Please arrive at 10:20am and wear closed-toe shoes and long pants. LOCATION: Faith Mission – Grant Kitchen is located at 245 N. Grant Ave. Enter the kitchen at Dock 1 (in the back of the building), indicated in the attached map. On-site parking in the adjacent lot and street parking is available in the surrounding area. Below are some links / attachments with additional info/details: IMPORTANT REMINDER: Our group will be providing all of the volunteers on this day so a firm RSVP count is essential. Please only sign up if you are certain you’ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please try to update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. With few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve. Our Partner Agency for this event is Lutheran Social Services! A huge THANK YOU to all of YOU for volunteering at this (and any of our previous) CMG Gives Back events! Should be another good/fun/meaningful time together, Dan
