Hi Everyone! :-)

Hi everyone,


 


It will soon be 10 years since I moved to Geneva.


I’m actually an expat from Nyon, not too far away haha, where I grew up ;-)


 


My dad is the more genuine expat, having come from London to Vevey and then Nyon in the 1970’s. We have always spoken English at home, and so am bilingual FR-EN.


 


I’ve heard about the Glocals online community for a quite a long time now, and always thought it would be cool to join, say hello and make friends with english-speaking people in the region!


 


I like toast and meditation :-D , and speaking about meditation, I’d like to take this opportunity to share an exciting event happening in Geneva soon:


One of my all-time favorite buddhist meditation teachers (Kadam Morten Clausen) will be teaching a class in Geneva on the 23rd of October. The theme of that class will be “Letting go of anxiety, a fearless life through mindfulness and meditation”. I’ll be attending, of course :-)


 


He’s been teaching in NewYork City for approx 20 years. I feel so inspired when listening to him, he has really helped transform my mind & life and continues to do so. If anyone is interested to know more, feel free to send me a message and I’ll give you the details.


Actually, what I’ll do is try posting an event in the “Things to do” section of this website within a couple of days…


 


So anyway, very happy to be here and look forward to making some new friends!


 


Wishing everyone a great week,


Take care,


 


Greg

Hi Greg, 


Unfortunately I am not into meditation,  but I do like to meet people and socialise, so if you would like to meet up for a coffee/drink then mesage me and we'll sort something out. :-)


Thanks

Hi Matt, 


Thanks for your message. 


I recently saw in members activities that some members meet to play table tennis. I'm thinking that I'll join that before too long

I was saying that maybe you prefer ping pong to meditation?  :-)


Have a great day! 


Greg


Ps. I have very limited internet access for the next week or so. Sorry for any long delay in my replies.
