Mäng - transformational game
Join us for a live (private) session of **Mäng (offline in Zürich or online worldwide)**, a powerful self-exploration game that helps uncover hidden mental scripts and rewire the way you think, feel and act.
Mäng is a modernized version of an ancient contemplative practice — reimagined as a transformational tool based on psychological insight, symbolic logic, and inner strategy. It is not therapy or coaching in the traditional sense. Instead, it’s an immersive deep-dive into the unconscious mind through metaphor and archetype with a game spirit.
💡 **How it works:**
Mäng is built on four stages of real, lasting change:
1. **Discovery** – Identify limiting beliefs and internal programs
2. **Uninstallation** – Let go of outdated patterns
3. **Design** – Create new mental strategies
4. **Integration** – Embed them into your deeper awareness
You’ll be guided through this process by the **Master of Mäng**, who offers structure, questions, and insight — while you remain the one making all decisions and discoveries.
🌿 **Who is this for?**
* People feeling stuck or unsure of their next steps
* Those tired of repeating the same emotional patterns and looking for inspiration and clarity
* Anyone curious about deeper transformation without spending years on it
🧭 No prior experience needed — just bring your question or theme.
🕒 **Important:**
This is a deep game. A full session lasts **4 hours**. Time slots are defined individually. Contact me directly to get an appointment.
Price for newbies: 250 CHF
(10:45-12:15) Weekend fun and fitness 🏸
RSVPs are BINDING, and close 0900 Hrs two days before.
It costs approximately between CHF 18-25 per person (depending on number of people);You can pay by Twint or cash.
Beginner should sign up for the 12:15 session.
We understand some important things come up in the last minute. In such a case, please let us know in advance so others who are interested may join us. Thanks.

Sharing Circle ✨

We come together to be present in the moment and to show ourselves as we are. It’s about sharing in a safe and trusting space – thoughts, emotions, goals, opinions – whatever is there. No one has to share, but everyone may.

• Strengthening self-awareness & self-confidence
• Personal growth
• Building deep relationships & trust
• Getting to know people on a real level
• Feeling free and being able to show yourself authentically
*Rules*

• Phone only for notes, not for distractions (e.g. no Insta-scrolling 😉)
• Take care of your needs (hunger, tiredness, etc.), be as you are – but respect others
• Duration: About 2h, you can leave anytime
_______________
Open Sharing Circle ✨
Wir kommen zusammen, um im Moment präsent zu sein und uns so zu zeigen, wie wir sind. Es geht darum, in einem sicheren und vertrauensvollen Raum zu teilen – Gedanken, Emotionen, Ziele, Meinungen – was auch immer gerade da ist. Niemand muss etwas teilen, aber jede*r darf.
Worum geht’s?
• Stärkung von Selbstwahrnehmung & Selbstvertrauen
• Persönliches Wachstum
• Aufbau tiefer Beziehungen & Vertrauen
• Menschen auf einer echten Ebene kennenlernen
• Sich frei fühlen und sich authentisch zeigen können
Regeln
• Was im Kreis gesagt wird, bleibt im Kreis 🔒
• Respektvoll zuhören, nicht unterbrechen (außer für Rückfragen/Verständnisfragen)
• Ein Gegenstand („Talking Piece“) zeigt, wer gerade spricht
• Handy nur für Notizen, nicht zur Ablenkung (z.B. kein Insta-Scrollen 😉)
• Achte auf deine Bedürfnisse (Hunger, Müdigkeit etc.), sei wie du bist – aber respektiere die anderen
• Dauer: ca. 2 Stunden, du kannst jederzeit gehen.
COLD WATER PLUNGE
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, we meet at the Mythenquai Badi entrance 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.

Leave the Past Behind, Burning Bowl Ceremony at Unity of Columbus
As we prepare to enter a new year, the Burning Bowl Ceremony offers a powerful and heartfelt opportunity to let go of what no longer serves us and make space for new beginnings.
You are warmly invited to join us for this sacred and reflective ritual. The Burning Bowl Ceremony is a beloved Unity tradition—an empowering moment where we release old patterns, worries, or limiting beliefs by writing them down and symbolically releasing them into the flame. This act of letting go opens the door to clarity, peace, and transformation.
