Dear friends, food lovers, and EatPositive Switzerland family, The first potluck at the new location in the Coworking Lounge was amazing. Such a great location! It was lovely seeing some familiar and new faces. This month’s gathering will be as always all about **food, connection, and community**. Plenty of time to share stories, inspire one another, and enjoy a cozy afternoon together. **Program Overview:** 16:30 \| Arrival 16:35 \| Conversations\, sharing stories\, and games for those who are keen 17:00 \| Buffet Feast where we enjoy everyone’s homemade creations 20:00 \| Cleanup together **What to Bring?** 🍽 Your own plate, fork & serving utensils 🌱 A vegan dish (for at least 4 people) 💚 Every event is unique and unrepeatable. The mix of people, food, and energy creates something wonderful. Very much looking forward, Debora & the EatPositive Team 💚

**[The 5 CHF fee goes as a donation to the sanctuary. Non-vegans are encouraged to join. ]** An encounter with an inspiring human can be life-changing. Their resilience, hard work, courage and unwavering dedication can awaken something within ourselves and motivate us to go on even in difficult times. In this very special event, we introduce you to *Beatrice Hunkeler,* who has built a sanctuary near Luzern that is a safe home to numerous horses, ponies, sheep, chickens, rabbits, dogs and cats 🐴🐑🐰 and creates a natural habitat and eco-friendly environment for wildlife. **About Beatrice:** Beatrice has rescued and single-handedly cared for over 80 animals in the last 10 years. An economist and tax lawyer by profession, she works full-time for her own consulting company and uses all of her free time to care for her rescued animals and advocate for the rights of animals and the protection of nature. Her Verein “Lebenshof Spirito Elvetico” is an organization dedicated to saving animals in need as well as education and awareness around animal welfare and plant-based living. **The event:** We will visit Beatrice’s sanctuary, hear her story, and spend meaningful time with the animals. Beatrice will share her journey—how she began, what sustained her through difficult times, where her work stands today, and raise problematic topics. You will hear the stories of individual animals she has rescued, how they have flourished in safety and care, and about the effect this work has had on Beatrice’s own life. She will also highlight her learnings and experiences over the years and will give us a glimpse into the inner worlds of equines, these intelligent and big but gentle animals. 🌿🐴 **Why join?** Few of us truly grasp the physical, mental and emotional demands of rescue work or the strength required to face cruelty and suffering we cannot always prevent. Beatrice embodies extraordinary resilience, emotional courage, and unwavering faith in purpose. The sanctuary she has built stands as a haven of kindness in an often cruel and indifferent world. Several of our members have already visited this remarkable place and felt compelled to share it with our community. This event offers ***two unique opportunities:*** **first**, witnessing what one person can achieve and how this experience may awaken your own sense of purpose and inspire meaningful change in your life. **Second**, spending time with innocent, intelligent and sentient non-human beings in their natural environment can ground us and reconnect us with what truly matters. ✨ Beyond personal growth, this event is simply a chance to share a meaningful and enjoyable experience with new and old friends—both human and animal. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- [**Important** **Note:** To avoid no-shows and thank Beatrice for hosting us, the event requires a fee of 5 CHF, which will go entirely as a donation to the sanctuary and be used for the care of the animals we meet. You can pay it directly to Beatrice at the venue. If you want to join but are tight on money, write me a DM and we can discuss an exception for you. If you are capable and like the sanctuary, you can consider increasing your donation. 💛 ] \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Logistics:** For those travelling from Zürich, we will meet **at Zürich HB** and use the train journey to Luzern (followed by a short bus ride) for some chit chat and socializing. We will take the **IR 70 connection at 10.10 a.m.** 🚂 We have a coach reserved for us on the train (look for the coach with the name "Simran Meet Up Group"). Please arrive well in advance to allow enough time to find us and a seat for yourself. We will likely stand outside this coach until 10.00 and then go inside. In Luzern, we will split into two groups to take the bus: the first group takes the **B50 bus at 11.05**, and the second group takes the **B52 bus at 11.35**. The event will begin around 12.10. If you want to arrive independently, the address of the sanctuary is: **Lebenshof Spirito Elvetico**, Schroten 1, 6023 Rothenburg. Please bring a **packed lunch, water bottle, and snacks** for yourself. The venue has place to sit together and eat. Please join the **WhatsApp group** for better coordination: [https://chat.whatsapp.com/DJWA8ibBUh63EGeku2hayJ](https://chat.whatsapp.com/DJWA8ibBUh63EGeku2hayJ) \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-

Most of us spend our lives in the *middle zone* — not exactly suffering, but not truly shining either. We carry a silent emotional overload that acts like a dimmer switch on our internal light. This workshop is designed to help you flip that switch back to **Bright**. Whether you're a busy professional or simply longing to feel better in your body and mind, this session is a space to recharge and elevate. **This is an experience.** Instead of just talking about wellness, we use somatic energy techniques to *physically* shift how you feel. By gently clearing emotional and mental residue from the system, we create space for clarity, ease, and natural flow. In this 90-minute session, you will: * **Identify and measure:** Gain a clear baseline of how you feel right now using the SUE scale. * **Experience somatic tapping:** A gentle, physical technique to clear away emotional noise and mental fog. * **Apply energy techniques:** Discover how to move energy through your system to restore flow. * **Witness your evolution:** See exactly how much your state of mind and body has evolved by the end of the session. * **Details:** * **When:** Sunday\, February 22nd \| 16:00 – 17:30 * **Where:** Hohlstrasse, 8004 Zürich * *(Full address will be shared with confirmed participants.)* * **Cost:** Free, donation-based community session to support the creation of future workshops. * *(Suggested donation: 15–25 CHF to cover space and materials.)* * **RSVP:** Limited to 10-12 participants to keep the atmosphere intimate and supportive. *Come as you are.* *Leave lighter, clearer, and more connected to yourself.* PS: Feel free to message me with any questions :)

We are excited to host Guided Meditations on Sundays at 6 pm in our Ashram/Gallery/Home! !! !! Everyone wants to know what kind of God we worship and what kind of meditation we do.
