Flow • Breathe • Heal & Dine 🌿
This event is a little different from our usual Potlucks and Brunches.
For the past **4 years**, this has been one of our favorite summer traditions: a beautiful half-day urban retreat in the heart of Zurich, created to help you slow down, reconnect and nourish yourself on every level.
The evening begins with a gentle **Restorative Yoga** practice (suitable for all levels), followed by a deeply transformative **Conscious Connected Breathwork** journey and a soothing **Sound Bath**.
Afterwards, we'll gather around a beautifully set table in the garden for a homemade, 100% plant-based **Ayurvedic 6-course dinner**, enjoyed by candlelight as the sun slowly sets over Zurich. ✨
And because no Eat Positive event would be complete without something sweet, there will also be a delicious selection of **Raw Vegan Desserts**, as well as a little surprise gift waiting for you. 🤍
This is an invitation to pause, breathe, connect and savor the moment - an experience designed to nourish body, mind and soul.
🌟 **ONLY 2 SPOTS REMAINING!** 🌟
**Special for Eat Positive Switzerland Members:**
As a member of our community, you can still benefit from the **Early Bird price**, which means a **CHF 20 discount** on the regular ticket price.
To claim your discounted ticket, simply reach out to me (Iri) directly at **+41 75 443 93 49**. This special offer is not available through Eventfrog.
We can't wait to share this beautiful evening with you. 🌿

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

Handstand Training (Open Level)
Sundays, 2pm-3pm.
Trial class: CHF 20
Drop-in: CHF 35
Book here: www.balancewithale.com/zurich/handstand
"I'll never be able to handstand".
You kick at the wall but see no progress.
Your wrists hurt.
You don't know how to improve...
It doesn't have to be this way.
Progress doesn't come from trying harder — it comes from practicing smarter. Handstands are a skill, and when you train them as such, they begin to click in a way that feels almost magical.
This class builds the foundations (strength, alignment and technique) that make handstands feel achievable and fun. Through clear progressions and personalized drills, you'll discover how capable your body truly is, and how handstands start to feel within reach when you train with intention and support.
Because drills are tailored to you, the class welcomes all levels — from "I've never kicked up before" to confident freestanding balancers who want to develop greater control.

Floating Down the Limmat Together
Floating down the Limmat is back to kick-start your summer! 💙💙💙
Bring your boat, air mattress, or inflatable sea creature and tighten your life jacket for an adventure downstream.
🔥🔥🔥At the end of the event, where we end the floating, there is a public grill you can use it to grill or a restaurant where you can order foods and drink.
We'll gather on the grass at Wipkinger Park from 13:00 to prepare for a chill ride down the river. We'll start to depart around 14:00, so we have an hour to socialize and inflate our fleet before we slowly drift our way down to Glazenberg (Grillplatz Allmend).
If you have empty spaces on your boat and are looking for a pirate crew, then please post it on the WhatsApp chat. There are always people looking for a ride ☠️

Drunken Philosophy: Where Is Everybody? The Fermi Paradox and the Great Filter
Welcome to Drunken Philosophy, a casual, curious, social discussion club. Come grab a drink and a seat at The Oracle.
**Optional topic for this meetup: Where is everybody?**
In 1950 the physicist Enrico Fermi was talking about aliens over lunch and asked a question that still has not gone away: if the universe is so vast and so old, and even a fraction of those billions of stars have planets, where is everyone? By the numbers the galaxy should be crowded with civilizations. Instead we look up and hear silence. That gap between "they should be everywhere" and "we see no one" is the Fermi Paradox.
One of the most unsettling answers is the idea of a **Great Filter**: somewhere on the road from dead chemistry to a galaxy-spanning civilization, there is at least one step that is almost impossible to get past. Maybe the filter is behind us. Maybe life starting at all, or simple cells becoming complex, or intelligence ever evolving, is the freak accident, and we already cleared the hard part. Or maybe the filter is ahead of us, and advanced civilizations reliably wipe themselves out before they spread.
Here is the part that messes with people. If we ever found life somewhere else, even pond scum on Mars, most people would call it the greatest discovery in history. But it might be the worst possible news. It would mean life is common, the early steps are easy, and the hard step is still in front of us. So the eerie silence overhead might actually be the best sign we could ask for.
**Questions to wrestle with:**
* Is it better to be alone? Would you rather we find alien life and learn we are not special, or find nothing and quietly improve our odds of surviving?
* Where do you bet the filter sits, behind us or ahead of us, and why?
* If it is ahead of us, what is it? Nuclear war, climate collapse, AI, something we cannot even picture yet? And can we do anything about a filter we cannot see coming?
* Two principles pull opposite ways here. The principle of mediocrity (the Copernican principle, Sagan's "no privileged place in the universe") says we are ordinary, so what happened on Earth probably happened everywhere, which makes the silence scream louder. The anthropic principle says of course we find ourselves somewhere life was possible, since we could not observe anything else, so our being here may say almost nothing about how common life is. Which lens do you trust, and does the silence still demand an answer once you account for observer selection?
* And if we did confirm life out there and had to accept we are not special, what would that do to belief in a higher power, and would shedding (or keeping) that belief help or hurt our odds of pulling together as one species?
* Does any of this change how you live, or how humanity should be spending its time and money right now?
As always the prompt is optional. Come for the conversation, stay for the drinks, and bring your own questions.

We meet at lunch each week and each meeting follows a fairly organized agenda. First all participants pass their business cards around. Then each member and guest is invited to give a one-minute overview of their company and what is a perfect referral for the week. We always have a 10 minute presentation from one of the members about their business in more detail. And finally we pass referrals. You're welcome to visit. Nobody is ever put on the spot. Bring plenty of cards!
