*Please not that the event location has been updated. We will meet at 7 pm over dinner at the **restaurant Moudi's Lecker Garten** in Zürich.* Dear all, Building upon our book discussions in 2025, we will continue our meetings in 2026 with a dedicated bookclub focusing on Islamic philosophy and Sufism in dialogue with contemporary Muslim, Western, and global thought. Muslims as well as non-Muslims are equally welcome. We will begin in January with a short text by Al-Ghazali, one of the most influential scholars in the history of Islamic thought, who is also known for his critical engagement with philosophy. With *Letter to a Disciple / Ayyuha l-walad*, we have chosen an accessible text that lends itself well to a shared introductory reading. You can find the book on amazon.de, for example, but a PDF version is also available here: [https://www.emaanlibrary.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/letter-to-a-disciple-english.pdf](https://www.emaanlibrary.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/letter-to-a-disciple-english.pdf) We look forward to seeing you at our bookclub meetings. Baran and the team **P.S.** **Meeting location (updated):** We are meeting at the restaurant Moudi's Lecker Garten in Zürich. **Our reading for February 2026:** * *Philosophy in the Islamic World: A Very Short Introduction* by Peter Adamson **Books we read together in 2025 (for reference):** * *Islam and the Destiny of Man* by Gai Eaton * *Islam at the Crossroads* by Muhammad Asad \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- Liebe alle Aufbauend auf unseren Buchdiskussionen im Jahr 2025 werden wir unsere Treffen 2026 mit einem eigenen Buchclub fortsetzen, der sich auf islamische Philosophie und Sufismus im Austausch mit zeitgenössischem muslimischem, westlichem und globalem Denken konzentriert. Muslime sowie Nicht-Muslime sind gleichermassen willkommen. Wir beginnen im Januar mit einem kurzen Text von Al-Ghazali, einem der einflussreichsten Gelehrten der islamischen Geistesgeschichte, der auch für seine kritische Auseinandersetzung mit der Philosophie bekannt ist. Mit dem Buch *Brief an den Jünger / Ayyuha l-walad* wählen wir einen gut zugänglichen Text, der sich als gemeinsame Einstiegslektüre eignet. Das Buch ist verfügbar, z. B. unter: [https://www.amazon.de/Kind-Ayyuha-l-walad-ber%C3%BChmte-Abhandlung/dp/3980839605#:~:text=%C3%9Cberblick%20%C3%BCber%20das%20Buch,%2C%20Algazel%2C%20Al%2DGazzali.](https://www.amazon.de/Kind-Ayyuha-l-walad-ber%C3%BChmte-Abhandlung/dp/3980839605#:~:text=%C3%9Cberblick%20%C3%BCber%20das%20Buch,%2C%20Algazel%2C%20Al%2DGazzali.)

**A sacred space to honor sorrow, release pain, and remember love** At Yanantin Tribe, we open grief circles where heart, body, and spirit can meet. Inspired by ancestral traditions, we gather in community to carry what was never meant to be held alone. Here, darkness and light are both welcome — grief is not fixed or rushed, but witnessed with care. A grief ritual is a communal gathering where sorrow is given space and form. We welcome all expressions of grief: personal loss, heartbreak, ancestral wounds, collective pain, or a quiet heaviness without a clear name. Through music, song, rhythm, movement, silence, and guided ritual, grief softens and reveals the love beneath it. **Bring: comfortable clothes, water bottle and your own cup for tea, curiosity** This is a free community offering. If you feel called to support the continuation of these grief circles, you can choose the **Support Ticket — CHF 25** via Eventfrog. Thank you for supporting this work. **The experience** * Enter a safe, held circle where all emotions are welcome * You may share, move, cry, sing, or remain silent — no pressure to speak * Place a personal item, photo, or symbol on a shared altar (optional) * Move through ritual practices that allow grief to be witnessed and released * Close with grounding and gentle integration so you leave supported **Why this circle matters** * Release unspoken or long-held grief * Be held without advice or fixing * Honor both sorrow and love * Heal personal, ancestral, and collective layers Tickets & Support This grief circle is offered freely as a community space. If you wish to support the continuation of these circles, you can choose the Support Ticket — CHF 25 via Eventfrog. 🎟️ Tickets & details: [https://eventfrog.ch/en/p/health-spirituality/health-wellbeing/grief-circle-remembering-love-from-darkness-to-light-7417590471009010657.html](https://eventfrog.ch/en/p/health-spirituality/health-wellbeing/grief-circle-remembering-love-from-darkness-to-light-7417590471009010657.html) **Practical info** * Held every two weeks on Sundays * Free to attend as a community offering * Donations welcome to support the continuation of these circles (entirely optional) * Bring: a token, photo, or personal item for the altar (optional) * Wear: comfortable clothing * Note: if you are in acute crisis or experiencing significant mental health challenges, please inform us so we can support you best * Impressions of past events: [https://yanantintribe.com/events-gallery/](https://yanantintribe.com/events-gallery/) **Additional support** András offers 1:1 grief support, death & dying accompaniment, and end-of-life presence alongside this community work: [https://psysoul.com/death-grief-sessions](https://psysoul.com/death-grief-sessions) This is not therapy. It is a facilitated ritual space rooted in consent, presence, and care. Come exactly as you are. You do not have to carry everything alone. **Personal Support & 1:1 Work with András** If you’re going through a period of transition, grief, burnout, relationship challenges, or feeling stuck, I offer **free 30-min Exploration Calls** to help you gain clarity and see if deeper 1:1 work is right for you. **Book here:** [https://calendly.com/andraskapros/psysoul-exploration-call](https://calendly.com/andraskapros/psysoul-exploration-call) Together, we remember love — and gently move from darkness to light.

Recent research shows that meaningful human connections are a fundamental pillar of health and longevity. Studies consistently link strong social bonds with lower stress, reduced inflammation, and a longer, healthier life—highlighting that beyond diet and exercise, the quality of our relationships plays a decisive role in our overall well-being. This gathering is an invitation to nurture what science now recognizes as essential: authentic human connection. Twice a year, under the full moon, Mama Cacao opens an intimate circle at Kraftwerk Zürich. A carefully curated experience where ceremonial cacao, conscious connection, live music, and plant-based cuisine come together to create space for real encounters. This is not networking. This is remembering how to meet — slowly, honestly, and from the heart. Participants are guided through a cacao circle and meditation, conscious sharing, and small-group conversations, from gentle openings to deeper, more vulnerable exchanges. Live music flows throughout the evening, guided by JKson, accompanied by Facu (percussion & charango) and Diogo (keys), creating a living soundscape that supports presence and expression. An Open Heart Mic moment invites a few voices to share songs born from truth rather than performance. The evening then unfolds naturally around a vegan buffet prepared by Nomads Zürich, allowing connections to deepen freely over food and conversation. Held in an intimate setting of 10 to 25 participants, this experience is ideal for anybody looking to meet new, like-minded people: expats, newcomers to Zürich, creatives, artists, leaders, professionals, and curious souls seeking meaningful connection in a safe and refined space. ### What to Expect * Intimate circle * Guided cacao ceremony, meditation, and conscious sharing * Guided group conversations, unfolding from ease and curiosity into honest depth * Live music and conscious jam throughout the evening * Open Heart Mic for heartfelt songs * Vegan buffet by Nomads Zürich * Safe, inclusive, yet exclusive space for presence and connection ### Who It's For * Local residents of Switzerland who wish to rediscover the art of connecting beyond the superficial * Foodies, good food lovers * Expats and newcomers to Zürich * Creatives, artists, and musicians * Professionals, conscious leaders, and entrepreneurs * Curious souls seeking authentic human connection ### Event Details **February 1, 2026 – Love & BondsLocation:** Kraftwerk Zürich **Time:** Sunday, 17:30 – 21 **Participants:** 10–25 For those who wish to participate in the Open Heart Mic, please bring everything you need, and if you have any questions, reach us at **[info@mama-cacao.ch](mailto:info@mama-cacao.ch)**. The food will be vegan. If you have any allergies, please let us know as soon as possible by writing to **[info@mama-cacao.ch](mailto:info@mama-cacao.ch)**. ### What to Bring: ### Your Presence Matters To fully embrace this intimate gathering, we invite you to bring more than objects—bring your heart, your curiosity, and your willingness to connect. **Bring with you:** * **An open mind** – Release expectations and judgments. Allow yourself to explore the evening as it unfolds. * **A warm heart** – Be ready to listen, share, and support others with genuine care. * **Curiosity and courage** – Step into conversations you might not usually have; allow vulnerability to guide you. * **Your authentic self** – No roles, no performance—just your truth, however it may appear. * **A willingness to connect deeply** – Be prepared to engage with new people, share stories, and embrace moments of real human presence. * **Playfulness and openness** – Bring lightness to balance depth; laughter, smiles, and small gestures are welcome. **Optional, but powerful:** * **Your song, story, poem, or voice** – If the moment calls for it, step into the Open Heart Mic and share something from your soul. **Additional items to bring:** * A water bottle to stay hydrated * An offering for the cacao spirits (flowers, tobacco, nuts, seeds, or fruits) * Dress to feel **connected and comfortable** Please fast for at least two hours before the gathering to deepen your connection. Step into this sacred space, and allow the vibrations of prayer, music, and movement to guide you toward unity, self-expression, and profound healing. ### Important Health Information If you are taking antidepressants, have a serious heart condition, are pregnant, have high blood pressure, epilepsy, or any other medical concerns, please contact us before the event. ### Meet the Facilitators **Nomads Zürich**Nomads creates food as a space for connection. Rooted in plant-based cuisine, we work with respect for origin, craftsmanship, and the natural rhythm of ingredients. Our menus are shaped by intuition, experience, and curiosity — simple yet expressive, honest and layered. We see food not just as nourishment, but as part of a shared moment, supporting presence, exchange, and meaningful gatherings. Nomads curates thoughtful culinary experiences for events where quality, intention, and atmosphere matter. **JKson**JKson hails from Argentina, with deep roots in the native cultures of the Andes and the Peruvian Amazon. He is a musician and producer blending natural sounds, native voices, and electronic elements.

Gegen Gedanken. Gegen Gefühle. Gegen sich selbst. Man funktioniert, hält durch, bleibt dran. Und trotzdem bleibt da diese Spannung. Diese Müdigkeit. Dieses ständige innere Dagegen. In dieser Samstagsgruppe geht es nicht darum, noch mehr zu verstehen oder sich weiter anzustrengen. Wir arbeiten auf einer Ebene, die dem Denken vorausgeht. Dort, wo innerer Widerstand entsteht – und sich auch wieder lösen kann. Was dabei geschieht, lässt sich nur schwer erklären. Aber es lässt sich erfahren. Oft überraschend unmittelbar. Oft deutlich entlastend. Du musst nichts vorbereiten. Nichts erzählen. Nichts leisten. Du darfst einfach da sein und schauen, was sich zeigt. 📍 **Ort:** Praxis Ruoss Stampfli, Else Züblin-Strasse 15, 8047 Zürich 🕒 **Zeit:** Samstag, 10:00–12:00 Uhr 💰 **Beitrag:** Kollekte 📩 **Anmeldung:** per WhatsApp an **076 419 25 72**

# **Band: Old Possum's Menagerie; Caller: Richard Ades** Beginner lesson at 1:30, regular dancing begins at 2:00 pm NOTE THAT WE ARE TEMPORARILY DANCING IN THE AFTERNOON INSTEAD OF EVENING. Dance with us in the afternoon then you can still go out in the evening! **Sponsor: All Soles Contra and Square Dancing, First Unitarian Universalist Church, 93 W. Weisheimer Rd., Columbus OH 43214** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 1:30 - 2:00, followed by dancing 2:00 - 430. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. Please bring your own refillable water bottle.

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.
