Hey! What's up?🌞

We all tend to pin labels on things and people: It's how our brain tries to simplify everything. But how often these labels turn out to be wrong? Sometimes I catch myself making quick assumptions about a person before even talking to them, only to realize that they're nothing like I imagined!🌻

Let's talk about labels today?
✔️Have you ever been unfairly labeled?
✔️How did it make you feel?
✔️Do you think social media encourages labeling?


🌙 See you at Ziferblat, 19:00!

Good evening, friends!🌙

We’re delighted to announce the date for our next poetry meeting!

Next Sunday, we’ll explore touching poems about HOME, delve into the vocabulary of the verses, reflect on their meaning, and share our personal experience related to the theme.🏡

🪶 A quick reminder: Don’t hesitate to step out of your comfort zone! We want to create a warm, safe space where everyone feels encouraged to speak openly, so come and see!

When: The 13th of April, 18:00

Hey guys! 💛

It’s the last Monday of the month, which means today it’s the board game night! 🎲
Playing is a great way to practice your English while having fun. Ziferblat's game-master, Denis, is giving us a hand with some great games, so whether you're into party games or word associations, there’ll be plenty of options to try. It doesn't matter if you’re a skilled player or a rookie, you’re more than welcome!)

Not in the mood to play? You can just come and have a chit-chat like always.

📍Ziferblat(S), 19:00

Looking forward to seeing you tonight!😉

As usual, if you wanna support the club, you can do it here

Hey! what's up?🌻

What if we try a new game today. It's called "the first, the last, the best, the worst". Basically, you just need to share your first, last, best, and worst experience related to any chosen topic.

For example, if the subject is love, you can pick any word connected with love and tell a story about it!

Additional info: we have a speed-meeting (not dating!) thing in the beginning.


📍Ziferblat (Solyanka), 19:00
See you today, my friend!😌

As always, donations are welcome!

What’s up, friends! 🤍

Life is full of surprises, and let’s be honest, uncertainty is everywhere. From big life decisions to the expected weather tomorrow, we constantly navigate the unknown. But is uncertainty something to fear, or can it actually be an opportunity?
Today, we’ll dive into the topic of Uncertainty.

• Do you believe that having too many choices creates more uncertainty?
• Would you rather make a quick decision with limited information or wait until you’re 100% sure?
• Is it possible to feel secure in an uncertain world?
• Do you think people find comfort in predictions (like horoscopes or economic forecasts) because of their fear of uncertainty?
• If you had the chance to know exactly what your future holds, would you take it?

📍Ziferblat (Solyanka), 19:00
Looking forward to seeing you all there! 🌟

As always, donations are welcome!

Thank you everyone for such a warm vigorous evening!!🫶

Good afternoon, everyone 🧡

Are you the type to chase adventure or play it safe? This time, we’re diving into the world of Adventurism—from spontaneous trips to daring life choices.

• Is adventurism something you’re born with, or can it be developed?
• What’s the most adventurous thing you’ve ever done?
• Do you think modern life makes people more or less adventurous?

💡 New format alert! For the first 30 minutes, we’ll be trying out something different—short, engaging conversations in pairs, switching every 5 mins. It’s a great way to warm up and get to know more people!

Join us for a fun and thought-provoking discussion, Ziferblat(S), 19:00⭐️

Hi everyone! ☺️

Have you ever felt the urge to choose something different from what you usually do? Maybe it's breaking a routine, trying something new, or letting something go.

Speaking of letting go, how about considering the option of releasing something you don't really need anymore? It could be guilt, expectations, perfectionism, or a sentimental item. Sometimes, letting go is the right thing to do to move forward.

So, how about discussing this topic today?

See you! 🙈

Hey friends! 🤍

Today we’re moved from our usual place to a different room again. Since there is not much space to hold a conversation in a big group, why don’t we bring our board game night forward and play today instead of the next Monday? 😌

Our board-game maestro Denis has got us covered with some great games for a fun and cozy evening! But if playing isn’t your thing, no worries — you’re always welcome to just hang out and chat.

Will be waiting for you, Ziferblat, 19:00☕

Good afternoon everyone!

Have you ever found yourself drowning in endless pictures in group chats? Or is it just me? 😅
Let’s chat about Online Etiquette today and figure out the do’s and don’ts of digital communication!
⁃ Is it ever okay to “ghost” someone online?
⁃ Are people ruder online than in real life?
⁃ What “texting rules” should everyone follow?

Join us for the discussion today at Ziferblat, 19:00 ✨☕

Exciting news, friends🌞

We’re introducing a trial new activity — Poetry & Conversations meetings! ☕📖

Imagine cozy evenings with a cup of tea or coffee, reading and discussing beautiful poetry in English. Sounds brilliant, right?

Hey, how’s it going?💛

This is Masha reaching out! Gily and I noticed how much everyone enjoyed playing board games last month, so we’ve decided to make board game meetings a regular thing for the last session of each month 🎲

Join us tomorrow to play! And of course, if you’d rather skip the games and just chat as usual, you’re always welcome to come and do that too!!

See you tomorrow at 19:00, Ziferblat(S)!
