Circling ist eine Einladung, dir selbst und anderen ehrlicher, offener und präsenter zu begegnen. In einem sicheren und respektvollen Gruppenrahmen erforschen wir, was sichtbar wird, wenn wir langsamer werden, tiefer zuhören und aus dem sprechen, was im Moment wirklich da ist. Statt bei oberflächlichen Gesprächen zu bleiben, üben wir eine Form von Präsenz und Verbindung, durch die innere Muster, Emotionen, Erwartungen und Beziehungsdynamiken bewusster werden können. Im Kern ist Transformational Connection / Circling eine Form von Meditation in Beziehung: präsent mit dir selbst sein und gleichzeitig in echtem Kontakt mit anderen. Durch ehrliche und empathische Kommunikation können Teilnehmende beginnen, die inneren Haltungen, Schutzstrategien und unbewussten Annahmen wahrzunehmen, die sie in Begegnungen mitbringen. Viele dieser Muster entstehen durch frühe Kindheitserfahrungen mit wichtigen Bezugspersonen sowie durch spätere Interaktionen in unserem sozialen und kulturellen Umfeld. Positive Erfahrungen können gesunde innere Überzeugungen stärken, während schwierige Erlebnisse emotionale Spuren hinterlassen und zu negativen inneren Grundannahmen führen können — zum Beispiel: „Ich bin nicht liebenswert“, „Ich bin zu viel“ oder „Ich muss mich schützen“. C. G. Jung beschrieb solche verborgenen Anteile der Psyche als Schattenaspekte — innere Anteile, die unserem bewussten Zugriff oft entzogen sind und dennoch unser Verhalten, unsere Beziehungen und unsere Persönlichkeit mitprägen. Kurz gesagt: In vieler Hinsicht kennen wir uns selbst nicht so gut, wie wir vielleicht glauben. Diese Gruppe schafft einen Raum, in dem unbewusste Überzeugungen, Prägungen und Beziehungsmuster behutsam ins Bewusstsein kommen können — nicht nur durch Analyse, sondern durch direkte emotionale Erfahrung, Präsenz und Verbindung mit anderen. ## **Haltung und Methodik** In der Gruppe wird eine innere Haltung von Offenheit und Empfänglichkeit gegenüber allen körperlichen und emotionalen Erfahrungen gefördert, die im Kontakt entstehen. Besonders wichtig ist dabei die Haltung des „Nicht-Wissens“: eine neugierige und nicht-wertende Erforschung dessen, was im Moment auftaucht — ohne sofort zu interpretieren, zu bewerten oder einzuordnen. Die Arbeit basiert auf der Gruppenpraxis des Circling / Transformational Connection, die Präsenz, Authentizität und echte Begegnung im Hier und Jetzt betont. Ergänzend fliessen Elemente der interaktionellen Gruppentherapie nach Irvin D. Yalom ein. Darüber hinaus werden Aspekte zeitgenössischer Spiritualität integriert, besonders mit Blick auf Verbundenheit, Einheit und Ganzheit. Mit der Zeit kann dieser Prozess Wahrnehmung, Präsenz, emotionale Ehrlichkeit und die Fähigkeit stärken, tiefere und bedeutungsvollere Beziehungen zu gestalten — zu dir selbst, zu anderen und zum Leben. Du brauchst keine Vorerfahrung. Eine Bereitschaft, präsent, neugierig und offen zu sein, genügt. **Hinweis:** Dies ist ein Raum für persönliche Entwicklung, Selbsterfahrung und bewusste Verbindung. Er ersetzt keine Psychotherapie oder medizinische Behandlung. Bitte komme mit Selbstverantwortung und Respekt für deine eigenen Grenzen sowie die Grenzen der anderen Teilnehmenden.

Random Facts Exchange is what happens when you give nerds a microphone instead of telling them to stop. **[Tickets on Eventfrog](https://eventfrog.ch/en/p/groups/random-facts-exchange-7434337254674303477.html)** It’s a science comedy show where real humans get up and present whatever weird thing they’re obsessed with. The mating habits of Swiss alpine ants. Why your toaster has feelings. The geopolitics of pineapple. How to mathematically prove your ex was wrong. Physics, history, psychology, anything goes, as long as it’s interesting and at least slightly funny. Think TED Talk, but the speaker is your friend who fell into a Wikipedia hole at 2am and never came back. Inspired by An Evening of Unnecessary Detail, the Ig Nobel Prizes, and the entire science YouTube rabbit hole. Come for the facts. Stay because you’re trapped between two strangers and the show hasn’t ended yet. **[Tickets on Eventfrog](https://eventfrog.ch/en/p/groups/random-facts-exchange-7434337254674303477.html)**

Two very different, complementary topics for our June evening. One on the small, everyday habits that make teams actually collaborate. The other on how a platform and a cultural movement transformed IT in the public sector. Here's what's planned for the evening: 17:30 - 18:00 - Arrival and first drinks 18:00 - 18:45 - Micro Habits for better Teamwork by Dr. Denniz Dönmez 18:45 - 19:30 - From DevOps to Digital Sovereignty: How a Movement Became a Platform by Syrian Hadad 19:30 - 20:30 - Networking, Open Space & More drinks\* **Micro Habits for better Teamwork** Great teamwork is like solving a puzzle, and not like playing poker, it's not about playing against each other, but rather achieving real collaboration. Micro Habits are psychological hacks that create big results in teams. Micro Habits for Better Teamwork span seven behavioral domains, such as taking responsibility, creating psychological safety, and testing our assumptions. Each provides concrete, small, actionable behaviors that lead to major improvements in collaboration. This talk presents practical, everyday tools based on real-world experience that can be applied immediately to make teamwork easier and more effective, without lengthy coaching programs or complex team-development processes. With Micro Habits, teams unlock their full potential step by step. **Dr. Denniz Dönmez** Scientific agilist and co-creator of Micro Habits for better Teamwork. 15 years experience leading teams and consulting market leaders with a background and PhD in agile methods. **From DevOps to Digital Sovereignty: How a Movement Became a Platform** IT in the public sector is anything but simple: long-established landscapes, strict regulatory requirements, complex processes, and often more than 500 business applications that must be operated reliably. For a long time, this meant ordering individual servers, databases, DNS entries, firewall rules, and storage, then assembling everything manually. Every application was unique. Pets instead of cattle. This talk tells the story of how the DevOps idea took hold in exactly this environment — first as a cultural movement, and later as a concrete operating and architectural model. Step by step, individual infrastructure evolved into a platform, manual work into automation, and isolated solutions into standardization. The result: the Aargau Cloud Platform and a dedicated platform engineering team. In an environment shaped by legacy systems, federal structures, and long lifecycle expectations, platform thinking becomes the foundation for digital sovereignty: maintaining control, reducing dependencies, and still staying innovative — without simply handing everything over to others. **Syrian Hadad** Syrian Hadad is a CTO and long-standing technology and platform leader in the public sector. Among other achievements, he built the Aargau Cloud Platform and helped establish DevOps, cloud, and architecture topics strategically within the organization. Together with the IT organization of the Canton of Aargau, he won the 2023 Digital Economy Award (Digital Excellence) for the consistent transformation toward platforms, cloud-native technologies, and modern governance.

Software delivery is changing faster than most organizations can keep up with. Teams are shipping more. Expectations are rising. New capabilities are entering the development workflow at speed. But behind the momentum, many organizations are asking the same questions: * What does this actually change for our teams? * How do we adopt this without losing control? * And what do we need to have in place to make this work? Because one thing is becoming clear: *The gap between teams that adapt and those that don’t, is growing fast.* This event gives you a clear, practical view on what’s happening, what it means for your engineering organization, and what you should be doing next. **Real insights, real trade-offs, and real next steps.** Program and Registration: https://events.xebia.com/microsoft/ai-reshaping-software-delivery-zurich-june-2
