**From Zurich into Nature-A Trail Run with the Option of Warming Thermal Water. An Evening for Community, Movement, and Absolute Relaxation. Do you crave fresh air, good conversations, and a moment that's just for you? Then join us for a special evening filled with great conversations and shared laughter. Here, your well-being is the focus – in a safe, supportive, and casual atmosphere.** **As a local here in Boppelsen, I can't wait to share my home trails and this unique running-and-relaxation experience with you!** **This evening is for you if...** * **...you're looking for a balanced activity that benefits body and mind.** * **...you long for real exchange and new contacts in a trusting environment.** * **...you want no performance pressure, just pure running fun.** * **...you love the flexibility to decide: relaxation with just a foot bath or a full thermal bath.** * **...you're excited about a completely carefree, organized little escape from everyday life.** **What is the "Hot Spring"? Imagine a large, public "whirlpool" under the open sky, filled with natural, comfortably warm thermal water. That's the Hot Spring in Baden! It's basically a large, walkable water basin (not a swimming pool), where you can sit, stretch your legs, and enjoy the warm water. Simply explained:** * **It's like a public warm water basin right in the city.** * **The water comes directly from natural thermal springs deep in the earth and is always pleasantly warm (about 37-43°C).** * **You can just step in (in swimwear) and sit to relax. There's also a separate basin just for feet.** * **It's freely accessible to everyone and free – a meeting point for chatting and relaxing.** * **For hygiene, the basin is regularly cleaned (on certain weekday mornings).** **Your Evening at a Glance:** **1\. Optional Group Gathering in Zurich \(5:45 PM\)** **Anyone who likes can meet from 5:45 PM under the blue angel sculpture, "L'ange protecteur," in the main hall of Zurich HB to connect with other participants. From there, you can take the train together (departure 6:01 PM) to Boppelsen.** **2\. Journey & Getting\-to\-Know\-You Phase \(6:01 – 6:40 PM\)** **Whether alone or in the spontaneous group – the train ride is a great opportunity to start conversations and get to know fellow runners.** **3\. Official Start & MY WELCOME in Boppelsen \(6:40 PM\) ⭐** **I will personally welcome all of you at the Volg Supermarket. This is the official starting point of the event. We'll introduce ourselves as a whole group, briefly go over the schedule, and then start our run together.** **4\. The Run: Your Nature Moment** **A 40-minute, easy trail run through the evening forests and hills. We take our time, breathe deeply, and enjoy the shared movement.** **5\. The Wellness Highlight in Baden** **Arrival at the "Hot Spring". Here you have the choice:** **Option A (Full Bath): Dive into the natural, 37-43°C warm thermal water.** **Option B (Foot Bath): Relax in the separate foot basin.** **Option C: Just enjoy a drink and relax.** **Infrastructure: Free public toilets and changing cabins are on site.** **6\. Individual Return Home** **When you're ready, head home relaxed at your own pace.** **What to Bring:** * **Comfortable running clothes & good shoes** * **A small backpack** * **A water bottle and possibly a snack** * **A change of T-shirt and a light jacket** * **(If you want to bathe): Swimsuit & towel** * **(For the foot bath): A small towel**

ZH3 Hash # 1691: Mezze Xmas
Hare: Saddam. Medium A to A run with a walkers short cut. Middle Eastern food from 21:00. Suggest anyone who wants to eat signs up for a mezze before the run. This venue is new so please be nice. **Where**: See location. Typically within Zurich Zone 10. Look for English speakers wearing running gear. **When:** We'll meet at 6:50 pm to start at 7:00 pm. There's a charge of CHF 5 for participating, which covers all you can drink beer/cider (and non-alcoholic alternatives) plus snacks afterwards. **All Welcome:** If you are new, curious, and want to get out of the house, stretch your legs, talk shit, enjoy a drink, and hopefully a laugh, then here's what you need to know: • We are a social running/walking group, physical fitness is not required, but a sense of humour is useful. • The aim is to find the '*Beer Stop*' at the end of the '*trail*' and have fun. • 'True Trail' is typically 4-7 km. Some will go less (especially those walking or walk/running), and some over-achieving fast runners will go further. • The '*Hare*', which changes each event (along with location), cleverly lays the trail (typically with flour marks) so that everyone reaches the end at the same time. • There is always a place to deposit your bag and sometimes a place to change. • **After Trail**, we group for \~20-40 minutes for drinks, snacks, and some fun. This '*Circle*' is typically outside, so leave something warm in your bag in winter (and bring a flashlight when it's dark). If you don't want to stand around drinking afterwards, you can head home. We occasionally all go to a restaurant afterwards. **Why bother leaving your warm & dry sofa?** If you enjoy getting outside, being around people, and doing something a bit different, you will probably enjoy hashing. Exercise is important, and this is probably the least boring way to get it. 'Hashing' and the idea of some physical activity to work up a thirst, have been around for almost 90 years and there are groups (*Hashes*) in most major cities. Its humor and 'traditions' can be explored on the internet - **or you can just come along and find out.** *See you there.* We are of many nationalities, all ages, full of misfits and idiots (at least there is no one taking themselves seriously!) and always welcome newbies 'Virgin Hashers' and visitors from other groups.

Wer ist hier eigentlich die Quelle?
Wer ist hier eigentlich die Quelle?
**Um was geht es?** Hast du dich schon mal gefragt, **warum manche Initiativen fliegen – und andere nicht mal aus der Haustüre kommen?** ACHTUNG: NEUER AUSTRAGUNGSORT in der Tribschenstrasse 14! Work with Source liefert darauf eine ziemlich verblüffende Antwort: * Jede Initiative hat eine **Quelle**. * Und wenn diese Quelle nicht klar ist… wird’s chaotisch, langsam, mühsam – oder einfach… zäh. An dieser vor Weihnachtsausgabe des Agile Breakfasts schauen wir uns an, **wie Source funktioniert, wie man sie erkennt, und warum sie oft der Gamechanger für Teams, Projekte und Organisationen ist.** Obendrauf gibt’s zwei kurze „Side-Dishes“: * **MoneyWork** – warum Geld uns manchmal blockiert (und wie’s entspannter geht) * **ReclaimingWork** – ein Mini-Check deiner inneren Muster **Was ist das Ziel?** Das Ziel ist ein **frischer, aber tiefgehender Blick auf Führung, Verantwortung und Zusammenarbeit**. Du erhältst ein Verständnis dafür, * warum klare Quellenarbeit Orientierung schafft, * warum Geld ein sensibles, aber zentral wirksames Element jeder Initiative ist, * und warum wir unsere inneren Muster nicht ignorieren dürfen, wenn wir echte Wirkung erzielen wollen. **Was kannst du für dich mitnehmen?** 1. **Du erkennst deine (und fremde) Source** 2. **Du verstehst MoneyWork – und warum Geld manchmal wie ein Drama-Magnet wirkt.** 3. **Du entlarvst ein eigenes Muster, das dir im Job immer wieder dazwischenfunkt.** ***Achtung*** \- die Plätze sind auf 20 Teilnehmende beschränkt\. Melde dich noch heute an ;\-\) **Agenda** * ab 08:00 - 08:30 Uhr --> Ankommen, Kaffee & Gipfeli, Netzwerken * 08:30 Uhr: Start * Kurzimplus und Übungen zum Thema * ab 10:00 Uhr --> Netzwerken * 10:30 Uhr --> ende der Veranstaltung **Zur Person:** **Peter "Pit" Zurkirchen** [Pit Zurkirchen](https://kingpact.com/) begleitet Organisationale Veränderungen mit viel Herz, Verstand und Energie. Dabei vertrauen er auf menschzentrierte, leichtgewichtige und dialogbasierte Formate, um mit kleinen Schritten Veränderung zu verankern. Dies tut er mit dem Denkmodell [Lean Change ](https://leanchange.org/person/peter-zurkirchen), auf der Basis von Emotionaler Intelligenz und immer mit dem Blick auf die Quelle (Work with Source).

Swimming in the Limmat
Swimming in the Limmat
Hello dear Challengers, if you wish to join the Limmat swim and strengthen your body, join me to that swim. I will give you a short introduction on the "why" you should do it and then you will tell me if you want to do it. I am a trained lifeguard (SLRG), I did also the Hypothermia Module and I am swimming in the cold since 2015. Take with you all the necessary to swim, flip/flop, safe buoy (something like the orange donut here below, if you have it) and a Thermos. https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/a/a/7/5/600_466843637.jpeg See you there!

COLD WATER PLUNGE
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.
