In Zeiten steigender Komplexität und zunehmender Sparmassnahmen stellt sich vielen Organisationen die Frage, wie sie Silos aufbrechen, Transparenz schaffen und ihre Wertschöpfung erhöhen können. Die Landesgeologie bei swisstopo hat diesen Wandel angestossen und zeigt als Praxisbeispiel aus der Bundesverwaltung, wie agile Strukturen auch in einem regulierten Umfeld funktionieren und eine Organisation gezielt auf kommende Herausforderungen vorbereiten können. Im Zentrum stehen Lean Portfolio Management, OKRs und PI Planning als Werkzeuge, die auf die Organisationsgrösse runterskaliert wurden. Dies um Fokus, gemeinsame Prioritäten und nachvollziehbare Entscheidungen zu ermöglichen und flexibel auf neue Anforderungen zu reagieren. Der Vortrag zeigt, wie eine lernende Organisation entsteht, die kontinuierliche Verbesserung verankert und Zusammenarbeit nachhaltig stärkt, ohne Stabilität einzubüssen. Eine Einladung an alle, die Agilität in komplexen Strukturen zum Leben erwecken wollen und konkrete Erfahrungen jenseits der Theorie suchen. **BIO** Michael Gysi arbeitet seit vier Jahren bei swisstopo und verantwortet als Prozessleiter Data Management sowie stellvertretender Bereichsleiter die fachliche, strategische und organisatorische Weiterentwicklung der Landesgeologie. Zu seinen Schwerpunkten gehören der Aufbau einer cloudbasierten Datenplattform, die Entwicklung KI-gestützter Automatisierungen und die Etablierung von Governance- und Qualitätsprozessen. Zudem prägt er die Transformation des Bereichs durch die Einführung agiler Strukturen. Bevor er zur Bundesverwaltung wechselte, war Michael neun Jahre international tätig. Als Country Manager in Malaysia und Ägypten baute er regionale Consulting-Standorte auf und leitete Explorationsprojekte in MENA und Südostasien. Später führte er bei der nagra ein geologisches Explorationsprogramm im Rahmen der Standortsuche für ein Tiefenlager für radioaktive Abfälle. Insgesamt bringt er 14 Jahre Erfahrung in strategischer Steuerung, datengetriebenen Transformationsprozessen und interdisziplinärer Teamführung in Europa, Afrika, dem Nahen Osten und Südostasien ein.

A sacred space to honor sorrow, release pain, and remember love. At Yanantin Tribe, we open grief circles where heart, body, and spirit can meet. Inspired by ancestral traditions, we gather in community to carry what was never meant to be held alone. Here, darkness and light are both welcome — grief is not fixed or rushed, but witnessed with care. A grief ritual is a communal gathering where sorrow is given space and form. We welcome all expressions of grief: personal loss, heartbreak, ancestral wounds, collective pain, or a quiet heaviness without a clear name. Through music, song, rhythm, movement, silence, and guided ritual, grief softens and reveals the love beneath it. **The experience** * Enter a safe, held circle where all emotions are welcome * You may share, move, cry, sing, or remain silent — no pressure to speak * Place a personal item, photo, or symbol on a shared altar (optional) * Move through ritual practices that allow grief to be witnessed and released * Close with grounding and gentle integration so you leave supported **Why this circle matters** * Release unspoken or long-held grief * Be held without advice or fixing * Honor both sorrow and love * Heal personal, ancestral, and collective layers * Remember grief as devotion, not weakness **Practical info** * Held every two weeks on Sundays * Free to attend as a community offering * Donations welcome to support the continuation of these circles (entirely optional) * Bring: a token, photo, or personal item for the altar (optional) * Wear: comfortable clothing * Note: if you are in acute crisis or experiencing significant mental health challenges, please inform us so we can support you best * Impressions of past events: [https://yanantintribe.com/events-gallery/](https://yanantintribe.com/events-gallery/) **Additional support** András offers 1:1 grief support, death & dying accompaniment, and end-of-life presence alongside this community work: [https://psysoul.com/death-grief/](https://psysoul.com/death-grief/) This is not therapy. It is a facilitated ritual space rooted in consent, presence, and care. Come exactly as you are. You do not have to carry everything alone. Together, we remember love — and gently move from darkness to light. Lovingly, Barbi, András 💕

### Daily Evening Meditation ##### For all peace lovers and others, for beginners and advanced meditators. We love silence. We meditate with our eyes open—or closed, if you prefer.

Hare is Just Beggin' For It It’s just a couple of weeks ago since we celebrated the birth of a king but this evening come join us to celebrate the birthday of the real King - Mr Elvis Presley. On this day, possibly also in a manger, King Elvis arrived in Mississippi, USA and introduced the world to Rock ‘n Roll with his sultry good looks and swivelling hips. The trail shall be inspired by the 3 stages of Elvis. We will have a dynamic and energetic start as we thrust our hips in excitement of what is to come. After a brief stint in the US army and some underwhelming movie performances we will then perform a comeback run (rebellious black leather attire optional). Finally we will pull on our white jump suits over our apparently unfit bodies from too much overindulgence in beer and Christmas junk food to crash to our knees in sweaty exhaustion. After circle we can retreat to our residency in one of the nearby neon lit up burger bars (dying on the toilet is not a requirement for this Hash). Thank you very muuuuuuch! **Where**: See location. Typically within Zurich Zone 10. Look for English speakers wearing running gear. **When:** We'll meet at 6:50 pm to start at 7:00 pm. There's a charge of CHF 5 for participating, which covers all you can drink beer/cider (and non-alcoholic alternatives) plus snacks afterwards. **All Welcome:** If you are new, curious, and want to get out of the house, stretch your legs, talk shit, enjoy a drink, and hopefully a laugh, then here's what you need to know: • We are a social running/walking group, physical fitness is not required, but a sense of humour is useful. • The aim is to find the '*Beer Stop*' at the end of the '*trail*' and have fun. • 'True Trail' is typically 4-7 km. Some will go less (especially those walking or walk/running), and some over-achieving fast runners will go further. • The '*Hare*', which changes each event (along with location), cleverly lays the trail (typically with flour marks) so that everyone reaches the end at the same time. • There is always a place to deposit your bag and sometimes a place to change. • **After Trail**, we group for \~20-40 minutes for drinks, snacks, and some fun. This '*Circle*' is typically outside, so leave something warm in your bag in winter (and bring a flashlight when it's dark). If you don't want to stand around drinking afterwards, you can head home. We occasionally all go to a restaurant afterwards. **Why bother leaving your warm & dry sofa?** If you enjoy getting outside, being around people, and doing something a bit different, you will probably enjoy hashing. Exercise is important, and this is probably the least boring way to get it. 'Hashing' and the idea of some physical activity to work up a thirst, have been around for almost 90 years and there are groups (*Hashes*) in most major cities. Its humor and 'traditions' can be explored on the internet - **or you can just come along and find out.** *See you there.* We are of many nationalities, all ages, full of misfits and idiots (at least there is no one taking themselves seriously!) and always welcome newbies 'Virgin Hashers' and visitors from other groups.

Our January program is privileged to have Kristen Tregar as our speaker. Ms. Tregar is the co-author with John de Lancie (the actor who portrayed the character Q on Star Trek next generation) of a radio play depicting the events surrounding the Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District trial. The trial decided the issue of some of the Dover school district board members attempting to insert creationism disguised as "intelligent design" into the 9th grade biology curriculum. She will discuss the trial and the process of writing the play. (Bob Leonhard has seen the play and it is riveting and tense). Ms. Tregar's bio is below: Kristen Tregar is a dramaturg, director, playwright, and theatre teacher. She earned her Ph.D. in Drama and Theatre from the UC San Diego and UC Irvine joint program. In addition, she has a MS in Forensic Science from City University of New York- John Jay College of Criminal Justice and a MA in Educational Theatre from New York University- Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development. In 2013, in collaboration with Irish colleagues, she founded *The Ireland Project*, an intercontinental devised theatre work with high school students in New York and Tallaght, Ireland. Her original short story "Far From Here" was recently published in *Stay Awhile Longer: More Scenes From Temecula Valley*. She has two rescued dogs (Kira and Harry) and she rides, competes, and foxhunts with her horses, Andromache and Baker Street Irregular. Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid.

This session is open forum to share your current projects—whether complete or in progress, it’s all interesting!

I've been hardware hacking a See N Say to make it say whatever I want - while the project is in progress still, it should be working by this meetup! I'll bring it for demo. [See N Say Project](https://github.com/cdeever/esp32-see-n-say) While we continue to pursue a more permanent venue for this Meetup, we’ll be using public library facilities based on availability.

Join us as we get together to see the winner of the Best International Film at TIFF and a triple Golden Globe nominee: NO OTHER CHOICE! This top-reviewed dark comedy satirical thriller follows a man devises a unique plan to secure a new job: eliminate his competition. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: The film follows a desperate paper industry expert who decides to kill off his competition to be assured of the job he seeks to maintain his way of life. The film is co-written / produced / directed by Park Chan-wook and is based on The Ax by Donald Westlake. It stars Lee Byung-hun, Son Ye-jin, Park Hee-soon, Lee Sung-min, Yeom Hye-ran, and Cha Seung-won. TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcz-RXMCyco BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews as the Venice International Film Festival and later at the Toronto Film Festival where it won the International People’s Choice Award! It just received 3 Golden Globe nominations for Best Picture (Musical or Comedy), Best Foreign Language Film and Best Actor for Lee Byung-hun. It was also selected as the South Korean entry (and likely nominee) for Best International Film at this year’s Academy Awards! It's been a stellar year for International films! We've already seen superb entries SENTIMENTAL VALUE, IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT and THE SECRET AGENT! My spidey senses tell me those three and this Korean entry could be 4 of our 5 Best International Films at this year's Oscars! PARKING: Close, convenient parking is available in the nearby garage (located between 9th and 11th, just off High St). Bring your ticket with you and have it validated at the theater and for $2, you’re covered for the night! PLAN: We’ll plan for a mid-afternoon showing and will make this a Dinner & a Movie event with a bite either before or after the show (depending on showtime). Once showtime is announced, advance ticket purchase is advised! Please list your seat number in the Comments section of this event. Dinner location will either be Cazuela’s Mexican Grill or, if it’s open, the NEW Dog Haus Restaurant (which is scheduled to open in January near the Gateway and has outstanding veg/vegan options). Showtime and complete details will be confirmed and announced as the date gets closer. Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
