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 **Uninstallation** – Let go of outdated patterns 3.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

Liebe Filmliebhaber Wir laden Sie und Euch ein, am Samstag, 20.12.2025 um 19.30 Uhr den 109 Minuten langen US- Film “Sie nennen ihn Radio” aus dem Jahr 2003 in Dübendorf, Im Schossacher 17, 3. Stock, privat anzuschauen und danach gemeinsam zu besprechen. Das Drehbuch stammt von Mike Rich, und die Regie von Michael Tollin Um 17.30 essen diejenigen zusammen, die gerne Freundschaften aufbauen und pflegen wollen. Wer bei der Vorbereitung des Essens helfen will, kann gerne ab 16.00 Uhr mithelfen. Wir freuen uns auf einen gemütlichen und bereichernden Filmabend! Ab 21.00 Uhr können wir den Film besprechen. Wir freuen uns über jeden, der kommen kann und Freude am gemeinsamen Besprechen hat. Handlung: Der Film erzählt – nach wahren Begebenheiten – die Geschichte einer aussergewöhnlichen Freundschaft zwischen dem 20jährigen, geistig zurückgebliebenen Afroamerikaner James Robert Kennedy und dem Football-Coach und Lehrer Harold Jones in der Kleinstadt Anderson in South Carolina. Ähnlich wie bei dem auf ein reales Ereignis beruhenden Film «Ein Dorf sieht schwarz» zeigt sich, dass Menschen für ein humanes Empfinden gewonnen werden können, wenn sich ein Mensch mit den anderen so verbunden fühlt, dass er sie ausdauernd zu einem sozialen Miteinander anregen und überzeugen kann, so dass alle besser leben können. Harold Jones lässt sich dank der emotionalen Unterstützung durch seine Frau nicht darin beirren, dass er dem ständig Radio hörenden Kennedy mit dem Spitznamen «Radio» zu einem Leben innerhalb der städtischen Gemeinschaft ermöglicht. Die Vorbehalte in der Stadt gegen den behinderten jungen Mann nimmt er ernst, beweist aber durch besonderen Einsatz, dass es sowohl in der Schule als auch in der Footballmannschaft der Stadt ein Platz für James gibt, an dem er sich zum Wohl aller einbringen kann. James Mutter beschreibt Radio als „genau wie alle anderen, nur ein wenig langsamer als die meisten“ und behandelt ihn liebevoll, so dass er eine gute emotionale Grundlage hat. Mit dem emotionalen ganz stabilen Rückhalt durch Harald und dessen Ermutigung entwickelt James immer weitere Fähigkeiten im sozialen Umgang, mit denen er auch anderen eine Freude machen kann. Harold Jones Engagement für die passende Teilhabe von Radio und die sozialen Fähigkeiten von «Radio» führen nach und nach zu einem Umdenken der Stadtbewohner über die Möglichkeiten, am Beispiel von Radio, allen Bürgern ein beglückendes Leben zu ermöglichen, indem sie sich füreinander einsetzen. Das Engagement für die Schule und die Footballmannschaft zeigt, dass es für alle erquicklicher ist, wenn das soziale Zusammenleben von allen getragen wird und sich alle positiv beteiligen können. Eindrücklich wird sichtbar, dass jeder Mensch aus dem eigenen unbewussten Lebensstil heraus, sich das Zusammenleben nur eingeschränkt und behindert vorstellen kann. So wollen sich die einen vom Footballteam überlegen fühlen können, wenn sie an einem scheinbar Schwächeren ihre vermeintliche Höherstellung ausleben. Einer glaubt, seinem Vater recht machen zu können, wenn er sich hervortut, um das scheinbar Übliche zu verteidigen. Ein anderer glaubt, aufsteigen zu können, wenn er sich nur auf seine Karriereentwicklung konzentriert. Ein weiterer möchte bei den anderen dadurch ankommen, dass er Forderungen an den Trainer aufstellt. Andere sind kleinlaut und versuchen – ganz brav – sich anzupassen an den scheinbar allgemeinen Trend, Die Direktorin der Schule möchte bei den Behörden nicht unangenehm auffallen. Es wird deutlich, dass es eine Entwicklung zum sozialen Miteinander für alle Beteiligten möglich ist, wenn ein Motiv eines Menschen vorliegt, sich für ein besseres und gleichwertiges Zusammenleben einzusetzen. Dafür braucht es auch die emotionale Fähigkeit mindestens eines Menschen, nicht kleinmütig zu leben, sondern andere für eine reichhaltigere Sicht auf das Leben zu gewinnen im Wissen, dass Menschen nicht bösartig sind, sondern uninformiert, wenn sie ablehnend gegenüber anderen, verbohrt und selbstbezogen eingeschränkt leben (müssen). Sie können sehr gerne diese Einladung an andere Interessierte verschicken. im neuen Jahr gibt es an jedem letzten Samstag im Monat einen Film: Bitte schon eintragen.

Let's grab some coffee/food and share a morning chat! The East Market has an ample parking lot and outdoor and indoor seating. Grab a cup of coffee from Winston's Coffee & Waffles or on your way to East Market and meet us on the second floor - table behind or east of the elevator. If the weather cooperates we will be meeting in the patio. Per what this group is about: "Everyone is welcome! International transplants to Columbus who want to improve language skills, Columbus residents who want to discuss international travel and culture, and anyone who enjoys getting together for good conversations."

This is a free, in person meeting. Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. We look forward to having you join us! This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
