KIDS Manga Drawing Class
Drawing manga often seems complicated and intimidating at first glance. The expressive eyes, distinctive features, and dynamic characters lead many to believe that years of experience are required. But this manga drawing workshop addresses that very fact: drawing manga is much easier than you think when you learn the right basics and are guided step by step.
In my manga drawing workshops, children and teenagers learn the most important manga drawing techniques in a playful and easy-to-understand way. The course is structured so that it is easy to understand even without prior knowledge and provides a sense of accomplishment from the very beginning. The goal is to dispel participants' fear of drawing and foster their creativity.
All necessary materials are included in the course, so you don't need to bring anything. Drawing paper, pencils, and other materials are provided on site.
Warm-up and Sketching Exercises (10–15 minutes)
We begin by loosening up our hands with simple drawing exercises and quick sketches. These help develop confidence in your lines and allow you to start drawing in a relaxed way.
Basics: Manga Faces (approx. 30 minutes)
You will learn step by step how typical manga faces are constructed – from the basic shape and proportions to the eyes, nose, mouth, and facial expression.
Drawing a Manga Character Together (45–60 minutes)
Afterwards, we will put what we have learned into practice and draw a complete manga character together. You will learn how to make characters come alive and how small details convey personality.

ANGER TRANSFORMATION · From Rage to Power
You don't need to feel angry to join. Sometimes anger hides as exhaustion, numbness, or people-pleasing — energy that's been held in for too long.
Anger isn't the enemy. It's energy.
In this weekly group experience we use **somatic release — sound and physical movement — together with subconscious work and guided visualization** to discharge what's stored in the body, and transmute it into clarity, confidence and power. Powerful, liberating, and deeply grounding.
**What you'll take away**
* A real, physical release of stored tension and frustration
* Training with punch pad
* Anger turned into clear, usable energy and confidence
* A regulated, grounded nervous system by the end
* Permission to feel and express — safely, in a held space
**Good to know**
* You don't have to scream or be loud. There's no right or wrong, and nobody will push you beyond your comfort zone.
* Beginner-friendly, fully guided, and you stay in control throughout.
**Practical details**
* 🗓 Sunday, 10:45–12:15
* 📍 Yoga-Spirit, Steinwiesstrasse 9a, 8032 Zürich (Bellevue)
* 🔥 Intro price CHF 35
* 👕 Wear comfy, sporty clothes you can move in (barefoot, mats & blankets provided). Bring a water bottle.
**Please note:** These sessions are generally safe. If you are pregnant, or have a serious cardiovascular condition, uncontrolled high blood pressure, epilepsy, recent surgery or an acute psychiatric condition, please check with your doctor and let me know beforehand.

DEEP DIVE: Rearrange your mind with breath

The Art of Meaningful Conversations | Are You Truly Living or Just Repeating?
**⚠️ Registration via Luma is required.**
Meetup RSVP alone does not confirm your spot.
[Register here](https://luma.com/tiaqz6ga)
Maximum group size: 8 participants.
***
Meaningful Conversations Zurich is a small and intentional gathering space for people who value honest conversations, thoughtful reflection and genuine human connection.
A space to slow down, listen carefully and speak more openly than we usually do in everyday life.
There is no specific expertise required and no expectation to perform, impress or have the right answers.
Each gathering explores a small number of questions connected to everyday life, relationships, responsibility, purpose, uncertainty, personal growth and the human experience.
The Questions of the Gathering (28th of June) are these:
*\* Where in my life have I become repetitive, numb or disconnected from what feels alive?*
*\* What currently deserves more of my attention than I am giving it?*
*\* Where am I forcing something that may no longer be aligned with who I am becoming?*
*\* What helps me distinguish between noise and what genuinely matters?*
The intention is not to debate or convince one another, but to create space for genuine exchange and different perspectives.
**Who this is for**
This gathering may resonate with you if you enjoy thoughtful conversations, personal reflection, curiosity about different perspectives, and meeting people beyond the usual networking or social small talk.
**Practical Information**
• Limited to 10 participants to support meaningful connection and a comfortable atmosphere.
• The participant mix continues to evolve with each gathering. Diverse perspectives and experiences are warmly welcomed and help enrich the quality of the conversations.
• The gathering takes place outdoors whenever possible, usually near the lake in Zurich. In case of bad weather, an indoor alternative will be communicated in advance.
Registration
To keep things organised, registration happens through Luma rather than through WhatsApp messages.
***
Location:
**China Garden Area, Seefeld, Zurich.**
The exact meeting point will be shared with registered participants before the gathering.
Since launching in Zurich, several participants have already returned for multiple gatherings

**Curious what these gatherings can feel like?**

Batik Tulis Workshop – Wax & Dye Textile Art (Zurich)
**Step away from the pace of everyday life and spend a day immersed in the quiet rhythm of batik.**
Batik is a traditional wax-resist textile art where patterns emerge slowly through the interaction of hot wax and dye. The process invites patience, attention, and a different sense of time — one where the act of making becomes as important as the final piece.
In this studio workshop we will explore the traditional batik tulis process using canting (the wax drawing tool) and dye.
The day unfolds gradually: observing how wax flows, how colour layers develop, and how patterns begin to reveal themselves on cloth.
Working with batik often becomes a quiet conversation between intention and discovery — balancing moments of control with moments of letting go as the wax and dye take their course. Many participants find that the process creates a natural space for focus, reflection, and an inner dialogue that unfolds through making.
During the workshop you will:
• learn the fundamentals of traditional batik wax-resist techniques
• create two small batik textiles (one guided, one your own design)
• experience the slow, meditative rhythm of working with wax, colour, and pattern
