ECSTATIC DANCE PARTY ZÜRICH DEER SPIRIT · SOUND HEALING · TRIBAL · WORLD MUSIC
**ECSTATIC DANCE ZÜRICH · Sound Healing** **Theme: “DEER SPIRIT” GRACE · SENSITIVITY · HEART AWARENESS** Inspired by the Mayan energy of the Deer (Manik) — gentle strength, presence, and deep attunement. This journey invites refined, aware movement: soft steps, subtle shifts, and heightened sensitivity to space, others, and your own inner landscape. Like the deer, you move with elegance and alertness, balancing vulnerability and strength — opening into a grounded, heart-centered dance of connection and quiet power. 🎟️ Tickets at the door: Late Bird price plus an additional 10 CHF (Cash or TWINT) **✨ FIRST TIME FREE — limited tickets available.** **Valid once per person — you must claim a free ticket on Eventfrog to use this offer.** 🎟 Get your ticket (free or regular): https://eventfrog.ch/en/p/health-spirituality/spirituality/ecstatic-dance-party-zuerich-deer-spirit-sound-healing-7458975213717304087.html 🚪 Doors open at 19:10 Please note: at most of our events 20–50 beautiful souls are dancing with us. Imagine stepping into a cozy home gathering where strangers smile like old friends. No alcohol, no awkwardness — just music, presence, and a warm sense of belonging. A space where you can dance like no one is watching and simply be yourself. ✨ WHAT TO EXPECT • Sound Healing • warm-up & playful exercises • ecstatic free dance • uplifting music & conscious community, sharing circle ✨ WHAT PEOPLE EXPERIENCE • stress release • more energy • authentic expression • real human connection ✨ THE SCIENCE OF DANCE • reduces stress and increases endorphins • improves emotional regulation • strengthens social bonding and wellbeing ✨ WHAT PEOPLE SAY “The beautiful souls from the Yanantin Tribe are of the sweetest kind — pure angels!

It’s a chance to meet new people, talk about what you’re working on, and be part of Zürich’s creative community - surrounded by like-minded people who just get it.

ZH3 Hash # 1732: Street Food Festival
ZH3 Hash # 1732: Street Food Festival
Hare is KTTT. A short trail followed by expensive beer and street food at the hardturm street food festival. **Where**: Bag drop is at the mobility car saved on meetup. 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.

Clarity Walk
# Schritt für Schritt zurück zu dir ## Meditative Coaching-Wanderung auf den Uetliberg Zwischen Alltag, Verantwortung und ständigem Funktionieren verlieren wir Frauen oft die Verbindung zu uns selbst. Diese besondere Coaching-Wanderung lädt dich ein, bewusst langsamer zu werden, durchzuatmen und wieder bei dir anzukommen. Gemeinsam gehen wir vom Triemli auf den Uetliberg – begleitet von achtsamen Coaching-Impulsen, stillen Gehphasen und Momenten der Reflexion. Die Natur wird dabei zu einem Raum für Klarheit, Ruhe und neue Perspektiven. Schritt für Schritt darfst du dich deinem persönlichen Thema nähern – ganz ohne Druck, ohne etwas leisten zu müssen und in deinem eigenen Tempo. Vielleicht stehst du gerade vor einer Entscheidung. Vielleicht spürst du, dass sich etwas verändern darf. Oder vielleicht wünschst du dir einfach einen Moment nur für dich. Diese Wanderung schenkt dir Raum, um wieder klarer zu hören, was deine innere Stimme dir eigentlich sagen möchte. Am Ende erwartet dich nicht nur die wunderschöne Aussicht über Zürich und die Alpen – sondern vor allem mehr Verbindung zu dir selbst. *** ## Was dich erwartet ✨ Achtsame Bewegung in der Natur ✨ Coaching-Impulse zur Selbstreflexion ✨ Zeit für dich und deine Gedanken ✨ Austausch in einer kleinen, bewussten Gruppe ✨ Neue Klarheit und innere Ruhe *** ## Ziel der Wanderung * mehr Klarheit über ein persönliches Thema gewinnen * Abstand vom Alltag und inneren Druck finden * neue Perspektiven entwickeln * wieder bewusster mit dir selbst verbunden sein * einen konkreten nächsten Schritt für dich mitnehmen *** ## Ablauf & Key Facts 📍 Strecke: Triemli → Uetliberg ⏰ Dauer: ca. 2,5 Stunden 🌿 Format: Geführte Coaching-Wanderung mit Geh- und Reflexionsphasen 💗 Für Frauen geeignet – keine Coaching-Erfahrung notwendig 🥾 Voraussetzung: normale Grundkondition 💰 Kosten: CHF 25.– pro Person Anmeldung unter: [www.passionandfocus.ch](http://www.passionandfocus.ch/) *** ## Für wen ist der Clarity Walk geeignet? Für Frauen, die sich bewusst Zeit für sich selbst schenken möchten. Für Frauen, die spüren, dass ein Thema in ihrem Leben Aufmerksamkeit braucht. Und für alle, die sich nach mehr innerer Ruhe, Orientierung und echter Verbindung mit sich selbst sehnen.

Shut Up & Write! Kingsdale Shopping Center
Shut Up & Write! Kingsdale Shopping Center
Greetings writers! Come down and join your fellow wordsmiths for one hour of uninterrupted writing time in the upper level of the Market District Supermarket in Upper Arlington. The main entrance of the shopping center opens onto stairs/elevator leading up to the 2nd floor cafe section where we will have a table displaying a sign with the Shut Up & Write logo. Writing is largely a solitary craft. Practicing with others in a community setting may be the thing you need to fire your own routine. We’ll meet on Wednesday evenings, starting the clock at 6:30, following a brief period of introductions. This is solid writing time and all inclusive. Any project is acceptable, be it fiction, non -fiction, work or homework assignment. All is welcome and will remain private to you. The market boasts a Starbucks, a full service bar and various affordable food options. Parking is plentiful, free Wifi is provided as well as outlets for charging your devices, though they are somewhat limited, so plan accordingly. Show up as early as you like, or stay late. This group tends to socialize some, both before and after the alloted time, but this is not mandatory to you. Feel free to come and go as you please and late arrivals are welcome. The cafe may be noisy on occasion so headphones/ earbuds are reccommended as you see fit. Please try to RSVP if possible so that we may grab enough seats for all—the venue can be busy at times. Feel free to message me privately wth any questions and/ or concerns you may have. Happy writing!
