Swiss Chan Circle – Zurich Mindful Hiking & Outdoor Tea
FOR WHOM
Nature lovers, tea enthusiasts, and anyone who wants to slow down, breathe fresh air, and share a mindful moment outdoors.
DESCRIPTION
Step outside and let nature be your teacher. This outdoor gathering blends a gentle walk through the Zurich countryside with the timeless ritual of brewing and sharing tea in the open air.
Mindful Hiking (徒步)
We walk at a relaxed, unhurried pace — noticing sounds, textures, and the quality of each breath. The hike is suitable for all fitness levels and focuses on presence rather than distance.
Outdoor Tea Ceremony (户外茶课)
At a scenic resting spot along the route, we pause to brew and share Chinese tea together. Learn the basics of gongfu-style brewing in a relaxed outdoor setting: how water temperature, steeping time, and intention shape each cup.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Gentle mindful walk in the Zurich area
Outdoor tea brewing and sharing — all equipment provided
Quiet community connection in nature
Comfortable walking shoes recommended; dress for the weather

[Register here](https://luma.com/tmrorxc8)
Maximum group size: 10 participants.
***
Meaningful Conversations Zurich is a small and intentional gathering space for people who value honest conversations, thoughtful reflection and genuine human connection.
A space to slow down, listen carefully and speak more openly than we usually do in everyday life.
There is no specific expertise required and no expectation to perform, impress or have the right answers.
Each gathering explores a small number of questions connected to everyday life, relationships, responsibility, purpose, uncertainty, personal growth and the human experience.
The intention is not to debate or convince one another, but to create space for genuine exchange and different perspectives.
**Who this is for**
This gathering may resonate with you if you enjoy thoughtful conversations, personal reflection, curiosity about different perspectives, and meeting people beyond the usual networking or social small talk.
**Practical Information**
• Limited to 10 participants to support meaningful connection and a comfortable atmosphere.
• The participant mix continues to evolve with each gathering. Diverse perspectives and experiences are warmly welcomed and help enrich the quality of the conversations.
• The gathering takes place outdoors whenever possible, usually near the lake in Zurich. In case of bad weather, an indoor alternative will be communicated in advance.
Registration
To keep things organised, registration happens through Luma rather than through WhatsApp messages.
***
Location:
**China Garden Area, Seefeld, Zurich.**
The exact meeting point will be shared with registered participants before the gathering.
Since launching in Zurich, several participants have already returned for multiple gatherings

Zurich Kundalini Yoga/Meditation (Donation Basis)
Dear All,
This session is mainly for the people who want to learn kundalini yoga/meditation in a traditional way. Traditionally the master will transfer his/her kundalini energy to the student to activate his important chakras (energy centre) including Third Eye and Crown Chakra. The student can start to feel his/her Kundalini Energy is rising from their base of the spine and feeling the energy vibration(Consciousness) in the third eye (the space between the eyebrows) from the Kundalini Activation. This session is helpful for the beginners who want to learn simple yoga-meditation exercises also.
This is a general session to experience your inner kundalini energy. But if you need proper kundalini activation(Shaktipat), then pre-registration is mandatory.
**What is included in this session?**
Simple stretching practices for Hip and Spine (not complicated, even beginners can do)
Kundalini Breathing Techniques
Sound Energy (Mantra) Meditation
Energy Healing Techniques
Formal Kundalini Activation (optional and only for pre-registered people)
Chakra Meditation
Yoga Nidra (Relaxation)
**Some of the benefits of Kundalini Energy Activation are:**
Keeps the body healthy
Mind attains its natural peaceful state, so the meditation becomes easy.
Breathing pattern will be harmonized
Stress release and peace
Clear & sharp intellect
More intuition
Inner happiness
Clairvoyance and Clairvision
and to the ultimate SELF realization (which will lead to the blissful state - our true state) with enough years of practise
**DONATION BASIS**
**About the Teacher who conducts this session:**
The kundalini wisdom teacher Jayaprakash is practising kundalini yoga since 2005 under the guidance of Self Realized Indian Master "GuruMahan". He is teaching kundalini yoga since 2008 as part of a non-profit organization "Maha Shakthi Yogam Switzerland". He teaches Yoga/Meditation/Pranic Healing/Stress Relief courses in various places of Germany and Switzerland. He is the authorized kundalini yoga wisdom teacher from UPF(India) to give kundalini initiations (Shaktipat) with the Grace and Protection of his Master.
All these events are conducted for non-profit purpose. Donations are collected on behalf of Swiss non-profit organization (Verein) "Maha Shakthi Yogam - Switzerland"
**Eligibility:**
Anyone can attend the session even if they don't have previous yoga/Meditation experiences.
**Dress:**
Wear a comfortable dress if possible yoga dress. We provide the yoga mat.
**Please RSVP only you are really interested and coming ! Limited Seats !**
**About Kundalini Shaktipat:**
In every human being there is a source of natural energy that the yogis call the kundalini. In order to evolve in the yogic path, no matter what our path, the kundalini must be active.
For most of us, the kundalini lies dormant at the bottom of the spine in the base chakra known as the Muladhar. When it awakens, it ascends through the chakras until it reaches the highest chakra, the Sahasrar. When that occurs, we merge with our True Self and attain SELF realization (our true nature).
Shaktipat is the transfer of spiritual energy from the teacher to the student in order to awaken the kundalini. This process is compared to lighting one candle with another that is already lit and glowing. When the teacher is connected with the fully realized master and the energy is completely within his or her control, shaktipat initiation ensures that the student’s energy will remain active and stable. "Electricity is present everywhere, but there can be light only when the switch is turned on. Similarly the true master manifests the consciousness in the disciple through shaktipat.”
**HAPPINESS is our TRUE Nature, which comes from within not from outside !**

Huelga Feminista Suiza 2026 – Zúrich (14 de junio)
*Huelga Feminista Suiza 2026 – Zúrich (14 de junio)*
El 14 de junio se celebra en toda Suiza la Huelga Feminista, una jornada de movilización que tiene su origen en la histórica huelga de mujeres de 1991, cuando cientos de miles de mujeres salieron a las calles para exigir que el principio de igualdad incorporado a la Constitución en 1981 se hiciera realidad. Hoy, la movilización continúa reivindicando la igualdad de género, denunciando las violencias machistas y visibilizando el trabajo de cuidados y otras desigualdades persistentes.
La jornada en Zúrich comenzará con una clase de yoga al aire libre de 11:00 a 12:00 h en el parque Josefwiese, siempre que las condiciones meteorológicas lo permitan.
A partir de las 13:00 h en el Kasernenareal, habrá puestos informativos, talleres, intervenciones, conciertos y actividades para todas las edades. Entre las actividades programadas destacan un taller sobre la huelga de cuidados (Care-Streik Workshop), una sesión de autodefensa con Fightback y diversas propuestas culturales y comunitarias. También habrá espacios de cuidado infantil durante parte de la programación.
A las 17:00 h dará inicio la gran manifestación feminista, que partirá desde Ni-Una-Menos-Platz y recorrerá el centro de la ciudad.
📅 Domingo, 14 de junio de 2026
📍 Josefwiese, Kasernenareal y Ni-Una-Menos-Platz, Zúrich

Smart Search + AI: An Outcome-Driven Journey from IDP to a Suite of AI

Join us for a focused conversation on how an outcome‑driven approach to AI is helping us boost accuracy, streamline workflows, and deliver faster results for those who have served.
This is a follow up to the AWS re:Invent 2023 "Intelligent Document Processing with Gen AI for Public Sector" presentation.
