Circling / Transformational Connection
Circling ist eine Einladung, dir selbst und anderen ehrlicher, offener und prÀsenter 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 oberflĂ€chlichen GesprĂ€chen zu bleiben, ĂŒben wir eine Form von PrĂ€senz 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: prÀsent 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 frĂŒhe Kindheitserfahrungen mit wichtigen Bezugspersonen sowie durch spĂ€tere Interaktionen in unserem sozialen und kulturellen Umfeld. Positive Erfahrungen können gesunde innere Ăberzeugungen stĂ€rken, wĂ€hrend schwierige Erlebnisse emotionale Spuren hinterlassen und zu negativen inneren Grundannahmen fĂŒhren können â zum Beispiel: âIch bin nicht liebenswertâ, âIch bin zu vielâ oder âIch muss mich schĂŒtzenâ.
C. G. Jung beschrieb solche verborgenen Anteile der Psyche als Schattenaspekte â innere Anteile, die unserem bewussten Zugriff oft entzogen sind und dennoch unser Verhalten, unsere Beziehungen und unsere Persönlichkeit mitprĂ€gen.
Kurz gesagt: In vieler Hinsicht kennen wir uns selbst nicht so gut, wie wir vielleicht glauben.
Diese Gruppe schafft einen Raum, in dem unbewusste Ăberzeugungen, PrĂ€gungen und Beziehungsmuster behutsam ins Bewusstsein kommen können â nicht nur durch Analyse, sondern durch direkte emotionale Erfahrung, PrĂ€senz und Verbindung mit anderen.
## **Haltung und Methodik**
In der Gruppe wird eine innere Haltung von Offenheit und EmpfĂ€nglichkeit gegenĂŒber allen körperlichen und emotionalen Erfahrungen gefördert, die im Kontakt entstehen. Besonders wichtig ist dabei die Haltung des âNicht-Wissensâ: eine neugierige und nicht-wertende Erforschung dessen, was im Moment auftaucht â ohne sofort zu interpretieren, zu bewerten oder einzuordnen.
Die Arbeit basiert auf der Gruppenpraxis des Circling / Transformational Connection, die PrĂ€senz, AuthentizitĂ€t und echte Begegnung im Hier und Jetzt betont. ErgĂ€nzend fliessen Elemente der interaktionellen Gruppentherapie nach Irvin D. Yalom ein. DarĂŒber hinaus werden Aspekte zeitgenössischer SpiritualitĂ€t integriert, besonders mit Blick auf Verbundenheit, Einheit und Ganzheit.
Mit der Zeit kann dieser Prozess Wahrnehmung, PrĂ€senz, emotionale Ehrlichkeit und die FĂ€higkeit stĂ€rken, tiefere und bedeutungsvollere Beziehungen zu gestalten â zu dir selbst, zu anderen und zum Leben.
Du brauchst keine Vorerfahrung. Eine Bereitschaft, prĂ€sent, neugierig und offen zu sein, genĂŒgt.
**Hinweis:** Dies ist ein Raum fĂŒr persönliche Entwicklung, Selbsterfahrung und bewusste Verbindung. Er ersetzt keine Psychotherapie oder medizinische Behandlung. Bitte komme mit Selbstverantwortung und Respekt fĂŒr deine eigenen Grenzen sowie die Grenzen der anderen Teilnehmenden.

Angular Zurich June 2026
Hey ZĂŒrich, we are not slowing down! Angular ZĂŒrich is back with another evening of exciting talks exploring the future of Angular, modern developer experience, and where the framework is heading next. And for the first time ever, weâll have three speakers sharing their insights, ideas, and real-world experiences with the community.
**Talks:**
*Even moar Angular skills for agentic development*
*by Tomas Trajan*
AI agents are quickly becoming part of the Angular development workflow - generating components, refactoring code, writing tests, and even orchestrating full features. But getting reliable results requires more than good prompts. In this talk, Iâll share the Angular patterns, architecture decisions, and tooling techniques that make agentic development actually productive at scale. Youâll see how strong typing, standalone APIs, signals, and clear project structure dramatically improve AI-generated code quality, and learn practical workflows for collaborating with coding agents without sacrificing maintainability or developer control.
\-\-\-
*From Typos to Type Safety â Building a Typed Router for Angular*
*by Dominic Bachmann*
Route enums, path constant objects, flat route trees to avoid nesting complexity â Angular developers have invented all kinds of workarounds to bring some safety to navigation. But they all share the same problem: a second source of truth that you maintain by hand. In this talk, I'll share how I built angular-typed-router, a drop-in replacement that infers every valid path directly from your route configuration. You'll see the developer experience in action â full autocomplete, compile-time validation â and learn how interface augmentation, template literal types, and recursive conditionals make it work at zero runtime cost.
\-\-\-
*Angular 22: The Great Simplification*
*by Mateusz Halada*
Angular has spent the last few releases removing complexity piece by piece - and Angular 22 takes that vision even further. In this talk, weâll explore how the framework is evolving toward a leaner, more intuitive developer experience with simpler APIs, stronger defaults, and less boilerplate across everyday application development. Youâll see whatâs new, whatâs been streamlined, and how modern Angular patterns around signals, control flow, routing, and reactivity fit together into a much more cohesive mental model. By the end, youâll understand not just the new features, but the bigger direction Angular is heading in.
**Agenda**
* 18:00 - 18:15 â **Intro**
* 18:15 - 18:45 â **Tomas Trajan** \- Even moar Angular skills for agentic development
* 18:50 - 19:30 **Dominic Bachmann** \- From Typos to Type Safety \- Building a Typed Router for Angular
* 19:35 - 20:05 â **Mateusz Halada** \- Angular 22: The Great Simplification
* 20:05 - 21:00 â **Networking**

ZurichJS Meetup: Beers, grills, and how to monetize
No slides, no schedule. We're meeting up for a relaxed ZurichJS summer meetup with drinks, barbecue, and people who build things.
If youâre shipping an AI tool, a vibe-coded side project, a SaaS product, or an existing app that could use a better business model, bring it along. Weâll hang out, compare notes, and brainstorm how to turn useful software into something that actually makes money.
Let's get the bbq going with beers and geeks.
Important: this is a potluck edition. Bring your preferred barbecue option (and maybe some extra to share if you want), some picnic blankets or picnic chairs, anything that you'd normally bring to a picnic. We're a big family at the end of the day đ«¶

Mattia Ferrini - Type Driven Development for human and AI reasoning
AI is changing the way we develop software. Mattiaâs talk takes a fresh look at **Type-Driven Development** (TDD), and how types facilitate not only the work of human developers but also **LLM reasoning**.
The talk with be hands-on with code examples and open discussions
Agenda:
* What is Type-Driven Development
* An overview of F#âs type system
* How TDD facilitates human developers with AI tools
* LLM Tooling with types

Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code - Alan Barber
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
*Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code*
Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs.
In this session, weâll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. Weâll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling.
The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. Weâll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options.
