Kostenfreier Workshop zum 3-Jahrestraining mit Christian Meyer
Du möchtest Deine Persönlichkeit entfalten und Dich so zeigen, wie es Dir wirklich entspricht. Du möchtest lebendig, authentisch und kreativ, in Einklang mit Dir leben – ohne faule Kompromisse.
Bei diesem kostenfreien Info-Abend (plus Bewusstseins-Schulung) gibt Christian Meyer - Leiter des Trainings - einen Einblick in die Ausrichtung und Arbeitsweise, wie im 3-Jahrestraining mit dem Körper, Geist und den Gefühlen gearbeitet werden wird. In einem gemütlichen Rahmen im Yogastudio Schmida, (Lehargasse 1 in Wien) wirst Du Dich unter Gleichgesinnten austauschen und mit Christian vor Ort direkt in Theorie und Praxis Erfahrungen sammeln können, die Dein Bewusstseins erweitern und wahrnehmen, ob dieses Training das passende für Dich ist.
Es wird Raum geben für Deine Fragen, die Dich gerade bewegen. Eine halbstündige Pause mit Snacks, Getränken bietet zudem die Gelegenheit, um vor Ort erste Verbindung in der Community zu erleben.
Das 3-Jahrestraining ist ein Praxisweg für ganzheitliche Persönlichkeitsentwicklung, spirituelle Praxis und Integration. Es geht dabei darum, inneres Wachstum selbst in die Hand zu nehmen – nicht allein, sondern gemeinsam, in einem klaren, getragenen Rahmen.
2026 beginnt der letzte Zyklus des Dreijahres-Trainings, den Christian selbst in vollem Umfang leiten wird. **Das erste Modul findet vom 24.–28.04.2026 in Wien statt**; weitere Module folgen jeweils im Herbst und Frühjahr. Zwischen den Präsenzmodulen begleiten monatliche Online-Treffen kontinuierlich das Training zur Vertiefung der Inhalte. Viele erleben Christians Arbeit aktuell als so präzise, klar und intensiv wie selten zuvor – für viele ist das eine besondere Gelegenheit, diesen Weg noch einmal in dieser Form mit ihm zu gehen.
Christian leitet diese gesamte Veranstaltung und wird dazu online zugeschaltet. *Ein Einstieg in Modul I ist noch in München Start: Di. 17. - So. 22.03.2026 und in Wien im April 2026 möglich.*

* **Back to the Future of Programming (Part II)... with Django and Agents**
Rafael continues from his [recent blog post](https://rafael.cordones.me/posts/2026/02/22/back-to-the-future-of-programming-with-basic/) with [RAGtime](https://github.com/rafacm/ragtime), a Django app that ingests jazz podcast episodes. When podcast sites block downloads, an AI agent steps in to fix the pipeline — real code and a discussion about agentic AI in Django.

Platform Engineering Vienna - March 2026 Meetup
Join us at our March Meetup event for great talks, discussions and beers. Big thanks to Posedio for hosting!
**Agenda**:
* Doors open 5:30 p.m.
* ***Talk 1: 6:00 to 6:30 p.m.***
* **Speaker**: Christian Kirchknopf
* **Title**: Building a Secure In-House LLMaaS Platform: BRZ's Approach to AI for Federal Government
* **Abstract**: In this talk, I demonstrate how we (BRZ) have developed an Enterprise-Ready LLM-as-a-Service platform that provides government applications simple and secure access to Large Language Models – without dependency on public cloud providers and without data sharing with third parties.
Through a unified API, AI applications gain access to locally operated models (e.g., Mistral) or optionally to public cloud providers – depending on requirements, costs, and data protection needs of the workload.
Discuss the architectural and product decisions: vLLM as a GPU-optimized inference engine, a central AI gateway that enforces multi-tenancy, security, and comprehensive observability.
A brief live demo will show how applications and developers access AI models through a single API – with token-based quotas per tenant and intelligent routing.
An experience report from an exciting AI infrastructure project in Austria.
* **Break: 6:30 to 6:45 p.m.**
* ***Talk 2: 6:45 to 7:30 p.m.***
* **Speaker**: Damjan Gjurovski
* **Title**: What is A(I) platform?
* **Abstract:** In this talk I will discuss the need of platforms in the age of AI. I will outline some hard-won lessons from my previous experience in developer platforms, data platforms and SRE teams, and discuss how these apply to AI platforms.
On the one hand, I will make the argument that AI makes certain aspects of platforms and platform engineering unnecessary, but on the other hand reinforces the need for other platform components.
Finally, I will attempt to differentiate between the two new platform types out there – AI platforms and AI Engineering platforms and discuss the capabilities and requirements for each.
* **Networking**: start 7:45 p.m.
The Future of Leadership: Workflow-Embedded Skills Development
**Kokoro's first in a series of events for learning, real stories, and practical strategies.**
**About this event:**
Join us on 26 March in Vienna for an evening where we'll explore how leaders actually develop capability - not in classrooms, but inside work itself.
**Agenda:**
**16:00 – Arrive, connect over drinks and nibbles**
**16:30 – The Future of Leadership: Workflow-Embedded Skills Development**
* Why traditional leadership development isn't transferring to practice
* What leaders actually need in 2026 (and it's not just another model)
* What workflow embedded skills development actually looks like - real examples from teams we've worked with
**17:30 – Interactive Workshop: Building the Leadership Skills Your Organisation Needs**
* Learn about ways to build people skils hands-on
* Work through a real leadership challenge with peers
* Leave with practical next steps for your context
**19:30 – Networking**
* Wine, food (gluten-free and vegan options available)
* Connect with people facing similar challenges
**16:00 – Arrive, connect over drinks and nibbles**
**Why this matters**
Leadership development is broken. Organisations invest heavily, leaders attend programmes, certificates get handed out - and then nothing changes.
The problem isn't lack of frameworks. It's the gap between learning and doing.
In the coming years, leadership development must shift from event-based training to workflow-embedded practice.
At Kokoro, we've spent years answering one question: how do you empower leaders to create the conditions for sustained performance, genuine motivation, and teams that thrive?
At this event, we bring leaders, teams, L&D professionals, and organisations who are committed to making that shift. Together, we will develop steps to make it real.
**Who is this for**
You're leading a team, department, or organisation. You're in L&D and see that traditional programmes aren't transferring to practice. You run an SME and need practical ways to develop leaders without the corporate overhead.
You've sent people to leadership programmes and watched them return motivated, and then not being able to transfer the skills in to work. You know the theory-practice gap is real. You want skills development that builds into daily workflows, not outside them.
**Event Details**
📆 Thursday, 26 March 2026

**About Kokoro**
Kokoro was founded in 2018 because we believed the way performance is measured and optimised is broken. We work with leaders and teams to build resilient, high-performing cultures where people can learn, grow, and thrive - even amid complexity and change.
We do this through our team and leadership development software and services like one-on-one coaching, team development, organisational consulting that help leaders turn intention into habit. Our approach draws on evidence from flow theory, motivation science, neurobiology, and real-world practice with teams across various industries and sizes.
Visit [bekokoro.com](https://www.bekokoro.com/) to learn more.
**Join the Kokoro community**
This is our first of 4 gatherings in 2026 - a chance to (re)connect with people making real change happen, and to introduce you to what we're building. If the culture and performance challenges you face resonate, we'd love to work with you.
Looking forward to seeing you on 26 March.
