You may therefore meet someone using an app or looking for specific players by name. Please do not be confused — this is part of the other club’s tournament format. Our Social Chess Club games remain casual, relaxed, and just for fun. You do not need to register for a tournament or use an app to join us. ♟️Basic schedule 19:00 – Arrival and quick welcome 19:10 – First casual games 19:50 – Short break and opponent switch 20:00 – More games and rematches 20:45 – Free play and social time 21:30 – End of the official event Please support 100 Gramm Vino by buying a drink or snack during the evening.

*It makes a vast difference to experientially work it to the best of your ability rather than just hear about it and intellectually understand.* (From Ralston's "Pursuing Consciousness") If you have any interest in consciousness work, contemplation, or discovering who you are, what life is, etc., please read the group description. Everybody is welcome, no matter the familiarity with the matter, as long as there is a genuine interest. **Our agenda** 1\. Briefly getting to know each other 2\. Individually reading for about 20\-30 minutes\. It can be any part of any of Ralston's books or similar material\. *No need to bring anything*. 3\. Sharing what we've read and contemplating each part silently for about 20\-30 minutes\. 4\. More exercises or reading\, depending on the sentiment of the group\. E\.g\.\, dyads\, meditation\, etc\. 5\. Sunset & dinner at the awesome Café Pilz close by \(reservation for 20:45\) We won't share the "results" of our contemplations, unless somebody feels the need or thinks it might be valuable for the group. The reason for this is to avoid pressure during the contemplation, that can arise if we know we'll "have to" share what we "achieved". If you can, bring something to sit on and a phone/eReader with the Book of Not Knowing (or similar) downloaded.
