Liebe Efthymia. Bereits im zehnten Jahr haben die Teilnehmenden unserer ‘Institution mit sozialem Auftrag’ an einem spannenden Arbeitsprozess teilgenommen. Wir sind überzeugt, dass sie auch diesmal von den Empfehlungen und Impulsen gute Denkanstösse erhalten haben und Wertvolles in den Berufsalltag mitzunehmen vermögen. Du wirst jedes mal von allen hoch gelobt und deine einfühlsame Art sehr geschätzt. Einmal mehr hast Du unseren Auftrag, zum Wohlbefinden unseres psychisch beeinträchtigten Klientels, zu unserer vollsten Zufriedenheit durchgeführt und uns dadurch innerhalb der beruflichen Gesundheitsförderung wertvoll unterstützt.

The Märtplatz Foundation is a training institution for young people facing psychological and social challenges. Around 45 individuals are trained in eleven workshops and studios, usually aged between 16 and 25. Vocational training takes place in a protected environment, with subsequent integration into the primary job market. Most trainees are referred by the disability insurance authority, in some cases by the juvenile court or a social services agency. The focus of the training is on the individual – their talents, interests, and abilities: strengths are nurtured, and manual, technical, and professional skills are learned and deepened. The training process takes into account specific difficulties and deficits. In this way, we offer all trainees a personalized education – in manual, creative, culinary, and technical professions. The goal is successful training and sustainable integration into the workforce. The following qualifications are offered: Federal Diploma of Vocational Education and Training (EFZ), Federal Vocational Certificate (EBA), and Practical Training according to INSOS (PrA). The Märtplatz Foundation was established in 1985 and is based in Freienstein, Zurich. The workshops and studios are located on the grounds of a former cotton spinning mill. Two shops are located in Embrach, and one in Rorbas.

As a coach, mentor and professional astrologer, I support leaders, teams or simply responsible people who want to master their challenges and develop further. I want to give them a sense of autonomous, inner power so that things get back into flow and they get clarity about the current situation or the upcoming decisions/challenges for sustainable solution steps. Being a leader and a mindful person myself, I would like to show you how to remember your own competence again and become mentally clearer and emotionally more stable. I am convinced that every person has the necessary resources and assets and is knowledgeable and competent in their own right. I help you to expand your scope of action, to empower yourself to let go, to develop yourself and to bring about change. As the owner of Living Mindful Maurer, Managing Partner of Living Sense Executive (Academy for Holistic Leadership & Mentoring), lecturer at the Coaching Institute Living Sense and training course leader for the Cert. Integrative Astrologer course at Soul Sense, I speak your language. Through a holistic approach I empower you to develop yourself in a self-determined and solution-oriented way and to gain the necessary self-leadership skills.

Ich habe heute Morgen notfallmässig Frau Van Acken telefonisch kontaktiert. Sie hat extra für mich ihre Mittagspause verkürzt so dass ich bereits um 12:00 einen Termin erhalten konnte. Vielen Dank für Ihre kompetente und rasche Hilfe, meine Schmerzen sind deutlich geringer als vorher. Auch für ihre guten Tipps und Übungen bin ich sehr dankbar, ich bin sehr gespannt auf deren Wirkung. Ich kann Frau Van Acken jederzeit sehr empfehlen. Merci und beste Grüsse D. M. aus Wädenswil

Nachdem ich in den letzten Monaten einiges probiert habe, konnte ich mit der Hilfe von Andreas endlich wieder zu mir finden. Nicht nur geht es mir viel besser, ich habe auch einiges "wie nebenbei" herausfinden können und bin zuversichtlich, in Zukunft einige Herausforderungen besser meistern zu können. Die aufmerksame, mutmachende und auch humorvolle Art von Andreas war genau das, was ich brauchte. Danke!

Mit Abstand die beste Hundetrainerin die wir je besucht haben!

Nestled in the rural atmosphere of Zollikerberg, away from noise and traffic, 12 Icelandic horses and small horses are available for horse-loving boys and girls of school age who want to gain experience in dealing with horses and riding. At SENN-HOF, the focus is not on equestrian training. Riding rather serves to give the children a good body feeling and a sense for their physical and mental balance. The claim of the SENN-HOF is therefore a pedagogical-therapeutic one. The contact with the horse helps to cope with everyday life with more energy and promotes a healthy self-confidence of the children. The aim of the SENN-HOF is to accompany and support the riding students in their personality development. Riding as a hobby helps to strengthen the will and to reduce fears . The work with the horses is holistic. The children learn to experience and recognize horses as thinking and feeling creatures with very specific needs. The owner of the farm, Mrs. Marlies Senn, is a qualified riding pedagogue and social pedagogue, as well as a trainer C SFRV and a trained movement pedagogue in the Franklin method. She has been running the SENN-HOF since 1989. Pony course for beginners The beginners' course is suitable for children from 7 to 13 years of age. It is intended as a meaningful and long-term leisure activity, which has a positive effect on the personality development of the children. In the sense of therapeutic riding, we strive to give the children a holistic view of the horse as a living being. Care and handling as well as understanding the ponies are important to us. Easy and more difficult exercises on the guided horse should strengthen the joy and the body feeling of the children and promote the desire to ride. Adventure and pony holidays Goals such as joy and fun with each other and in the handling, contact and care of the horses are important to us. Easy and difficult riding exercises for beginners should awaken the desire to ride. Adventure, games and fun around the stable in a rural environment should not be neglected. Riding courses for beginners As a riding instructor, my main focus is on the relationship between the child and the horse, and not on sporting endeavors. Therefore, I try to teach the children to ride with a feeling for the horse and its nature. Riding obliges the children to move consciously on the horse's back and to use their body purposefully in order to obtain the desired reaction from the partner horse. Riding in this sense has a great influence on the healthy development of the child's personality, and especially trains the child's empathetic side. SPECIAL EVENTS Every year there are riding Sundays for the children of the riding courses. We start in the morning and ride for a whole day. The aim is that the children get to spend a whole day with the horses and in the saddle and thus consolidate what they have learned in the riding courses. Of course, the shared experience plays an important role. At noon we make a longer stop with a picnic.
