You will gradually get to know the meaning of some of these characters. The teacher is a certified Shodo teacher. The cost is CHF 10 for a 2 hours session, including materials. Lessons are held once a month, on a Saturday morning, at the Kinderhaus Artergut in Zurich. |
| Global Concerns - Discussing Matters of Global Concern | There has been a sensational response to the Global Concerns Group for those interested in learning more about current global issues. The meetings address such topics as: environment, global health issues, poverty, literacy, women's and children's rights, etc. Since we meet at the Chairlady's home, we have reached our maximum capacity with 20 regulars, but we keep a waiting list and new members are invited as space becomes available. This group maintains its own blog, womenthinkglobal.blogspot.com, enjoy! |

| Sketching and Painting | The group meets once a month in parks or museums to sketch or paint where allowed. Please bring your own art materials. Advised by email. |
| Writers Group | We are a small, friendly, supportive group whose only goal is to encourage each other in our writing. We exchange ideas, give publishing leads and provide constructive suggestions to improve each other's projects. If you've ever heard a little voice in your head saying "I could have written something better than this" you are our kind of woman. Stop by and help us keep writing alive. |
