**A sacred space to honor sorrow, release pain, and remember love** At Yanantin Tribe, we open grief circles where heart, body, and spirit can meet. Inspired by ancestral traditions, we gather in community to carry what was never meant to be held alone. Here, darkness and light are both welcome — grief is not fixed or rushed, but witnessed with care. A grief ritual is a communal gathering where sorrow is given space and form. We welcome all expressions of grief: personal loss, heartbreak, ancestral wounds, collective pain, or a quiet heaviness without a clear name. Through music, song, rhythm, movement, silence, and guided ritual, grief softens and reveals the love beneath it. **Bring: comfortable clothes, water bottle and your own cup for tea, curiosity** This is a free community offering. If you feel called to support the continuation of these grief circles, you can choose the **Support Ticket — CHF 25** via Eventfrog. Thank you for supporting this work. **The experience** * Enter a safe, held circle where all emotions are welcome * You may share, move, cry, sing, or remain silent — no pressure to speak * Place a personal item, photo, or symbol on a shared altar (optional) * Move through ritual practices that allow grief to be witnessed and released * Close with grounding and gentle integration so you leave supported **Why this circle matters** * Release unspoken or long-held grief * Be held without advice or fixing * Honor both sorrow and love * Heal personal, ancestral, and collective layers Tickets & Support This grief circle is offered freely as a community space.

**Liebe & Dating als Single //** **Von unverbindlichem Small Talk zu authentischer Anziehung** **Zu viele Dates und Begegnungen laufen ähnlich ab:** Man unterhält sich, lacht, tauscht Nettigkeiten aus – und doch passiert innerlich oft erstaunlich wenig. Früher oder später geht man wieder getrennte Wege. Was fehlt, ist selten Gesprächsstoff. Was fehlt, sind Tiefe, Spannung und echte Verbindung. *Kostenloser Mini-Workshop* **Von unverbindlichem Small Talk zu authentischer Anziehung** 📍 **Ort:** Debattierhaus Karl der Grosse, Kirchgasse 14, 8001 Zürich 📅 **Datum:** Samstag, 14. Februar 2026 (nachmittags) 👥 **Teilnehmerzahl:** max. 30 Personen *Trag Dich gleich ein und sichere Dir jetzt Dein Platz!* Dieser Nachmittag richtet sich an Singles, die genau das verstehen – und etwas verändern möchten. In entspannter Atmosphäre beleuchten wir psychologische und kommunikative Prinzipien, die einen entscheidenden Punkt im Dating bestimmen: **den Übergang vom freundlichen Kennenlernen zu romantischer Anziehung.** Du lernst ein praxisnahes und zugleich tiefgehendes Konzept kennen, das sichtbar macht, * warum Begegnungen oft auf einer unverbindlichen Ebene bleiben * worin sich spannende, berührende Begegnungen von rein sozialem Small Talk unterscheiden * und wie Anziehung entstehen kann, ohne dass Du Dich verstellen oder etwas vorspielen musst Wir sprechen nicht über oberflächliche Flirt-Tipps oder aufgesetzte Verhaltensstrategien. Im Fokus stehen bewusste Wahrnehmung, klare Kommunikation und authentisches Auftreten im zwischenmenschlichen Kontakt. Kurz gesagt: Was passiert zwischen zwei Menschen – vom ersten Kennenlernen bis zu romantischer Anziehung? Der Nachmittag verbindet **klare Impulse**, **konkrete Erfahrung** und **echte Begegnung**: * ein Mini-Workshop zu Kommunikation, Präsenz und Anziehung * Reflexion, Austausch und praktische Anwendungsbeispiele, in denen Du das Framework direkt erleben kannst * Zeit für neue Kontakte, spannende Gespräche und entspanntes Socializing Es geht nicht darum, jemanden von Dir zu überzeugen oder „den nächsten Schritt“ zu machen. Sondern darum, authentischer, präsenter und bewusster in romantischen Begegnungen zu werden – und zu verstehen, warum manche Begegnungen Tiefe entwickeln und andere nicht. Kein Datingevent. Kein oberflächlicher Workshop. Kein Leistungsdruck. Sondern ein bewusst gestalteter Raum für Menschen, die Dating und Beziehung nicht dem Zufall überlassen wollen und neugierig sind, wie echte Anziehung entsteht. **Um einen persönlichen Rahmen zu ermöglichen, ist die Teilnehmerzahl auf 30 Personen begrenzt.** Wenn Du Lust hast, Dein Dating-Leben besser zu verstehen und neue Erfahrungen in authentischer Kommunikation zu machen, freuen wir uns, Dich an diesem Valentins-Nachmittag zu begrüssen. ***

\-\- Deutsch \-\-\- Für diesen Event der achtsamen Fotografie treffen wir uns auf dem Zwingliplatz beim grossen Baum. Unser erster Halt führt uns in den Kreuzgang des Grossmünsters. Danach schlendern wir in aller Ruhe weiter durch die verwinkelten Gassen der Altstadt. Dabei richten wir unsere Blicke bewusst nach oben und schenken den zweiten Fensterreihen der Gebäude unsere volle Aufmerksamkeit. Es ist erstaunlich, wie viele kleine und liebevolle Details sich dort verbergen – Dinge, die uns im Alltag oft entgehen. \-\-\- English \-\-\- For this mindful photography event, we will meet at Zwingliplatz by the big tree. Our first stop will be the Kreuzgang of the Grossmünster. After that, we’ll take a relaxed stroll through the winding alleys of the old town. As we walk, we’ll consciously look upwards and give our full attention to the second rows of windows on the buildings. It’s amazing how many small and charming details are hidden there – things we often overlook in everyday life. \-\-\- PS \-\-\- (D) Ein kleiner Hinweis: Schaut doch auch bei unserer Schwestergruppe «[Fotografie im Focus](https://www.meetup.com/fotografie-im-focus-zurich-und-ostschweiz/?eventOrigin=home_groups_you_organize)» vorbei.

**Walk description:** The hike starts at Einsiedeln train station at 8:45. We will then walk to Seewen. We must reach it before 4 p.m, if we want to get to the Fastnacht Umzug on time.

You need to be fit and have good hiking shoes [von Schwyz nach Einsiedeln | Wanderung | Komoot](https://www.komoot.com/de-de/tour/2778503480?share_token=aOALazfx9rv2OlAqTQNFzTUg6FaO6cwbh8QsKfhc1lvMAPnq7u&ref=wtd) **Fastnacht:** Here you have the Programm.

Greetings writers! Come down and join your fellow wordsmiths for one hour of uninterrupted writing time in the upper level of the Market District Supermarket in Upper Arlington. The main entrance of the shopping center opens onto stairs/elevator leading up to the 2nd floor cafe section where we will have a table displaying a sign with the Shut Up & Write logo. Writing is largely a solitary craft. Practicing with others in a community setting may be the thing you need to fire your own routine. We’ll meet on Wednesday evenings, starting the clock at 6:30, following a brief period of introductions. This is solid writing time and all inclusive. Any project is acceptable, be it fiction, non -fiction, work or homework assignment. All is welcome and will remain private to you. The market boasts a Starbucks, a full service bar and various affordable food options. Parking is plentiful, free Wifi is provided as well as outlets for charging your devices, though they are somewhat limited, so plan accordingly. Show up as early as you like, or stay late. This group tends to socialize some, both before and after the alloted time, but this is not mandatory to you. Feel free to come and go as you please and late arrivals are welcome. The cafe may be noisy on occasion so headphones/ earbuds are reccommended as you see fit. Please try to RSVP if possible so that we may grab enough seats for all—the venue can be busy at times. Feel free to message me privately wth any questions and/ or concerns you may have. Happy writing!

The topic for February is "Transitions" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!
