Raum für Sein- Ankommen im Körper/ Meditation & Body Awareness
Dieser Workshop ist eine Einladung, für einen Moment aus dem Alltag auszusteigen und wieder bewusst im eigenen Körper anzukommen.
Wir beginnen im Kreis mit einem einfachen Mantra, das durch Klang und Rhythmus eine ruhige, verbindende Atmosphäre schafft und das Nervensystem beruhigen kann. Anschließend leite ich eine achtsame Selbstmassage mit ausgewählten ätherischen Ölen an, bei der wir verschiedene Körperbereiche bewusst wahrnehmen und unserem Körper Aufmerksamkeit schenken.
Zum Abschluss öffnet sich der Raum für intuitive Bewegung oder freies Tanzen – ganz so, wie es sich für dich im Moment stimmig anfühlt.
New in Berlin: Becoming Familiar – Social Butterfly Club 🦋
A city starts to feel different once faces become familiar.
This Social Butterfly Club Meetup invites you to build that gentle sense of recognition — where people aren’t strangers anymore, but not quite old friends yet. A space to return, reconnect, and slowly weave yourself into the social fabric of Berlin. 🌆
You don’t need to have it all figured out. Just come as you are.
✨ Suggested Ice Breaker Question:
“What’s something that’s starting to feel familiar in Berlin?”

I’m Julia — a Berlin local who loves bringing people together. My path went from growing up in a dance school to studying philosophy to working in IT support, and somehow all of that led me here: hosting meetups and creating spaces where people can show up, relax, and connect.

How to Make Your Team AI First: Pragmatic Vibe Coding at Superhuman
Join us on March 16 as we **share the patterns and anti-patterns that actually work**. We’ll also give you ways to l**evel up productivity for you and your team**.
✅ **Registration** is managed exclusively via Luma. Please **reserve your spot** **here**: https://luma.com/mqjk3fb9
**Entry is reserved for confirmed guests.**
🔈 **[Yarik Yermilov](https://www.linkedin.com/in/yarik-yermilov/overlay/about-this-profile/),** Principal Software Engineer
🚀 In this talk, I’ve condensed one year of my personal experience with AI coding agents and Superhuman engineers’ experience into a set of patterns and anti-patterns we’ve observed from our numerous successful and failed experiments. I will share a pragmatic view on how to up-level your personal productivity as a software engineer and how to rebuild your team processes to become AI first. I will share the story of how I abandoned text editors forever in favour of Claude Code. I’ll also share how Superhuman uses AI for every step of the software development process, including code reviews, infrastructure migrations, feature development, and production monitoring. We will discuss the challenges of organizational transformation and how to avoid cargo-culting AI adoption and AI slop in your production systems.
**Facts about the speaker**:
* I have been with Grammarly, now part of Superhuman, for 8.5 years.
* Over the years, I have worked on product features development, platforms and infrastructure, and developer experience, both as a contributing engineer and a technical lead.
* Last year, I was one of the trailblazers of AI coding adoption at Superhuman, working on the AI coding harness, adoption, and learning among engineers and on autonomous coding agents
* I haven’t written a line of code manually since May 2025.
* I have been with Grammarly, now part of Superhuman, for 8.5 years.
**💥 Who should attend?**
* Software engineers who want to learn how to use AI Coding Agents
* Technical leaders who want to boost their team's productivity by introducing an AI-First approach

Workshop: Bindungstypen / Beziehungstypen, Deine Freundschaften & Beziehungen
**💶 Wertschätzungsbeitrag: 10-20 Euro (nach eigenen Möglichkeiten)**
**Du möchtest Deine Freundschaften, Partnerschaft & Arbeitsbeziehungen verbessern? Dieser Worskhop kann ein großer Schritt dazu sein.**
Beziehungs- und Bindungstypen sind ein weit verbreitetes Modell, um typisches Verhalten in verschiedensten Beziehungen erklären.
Warum klammert jemand? Warum Drama? Warum Rückzug? Warum Kälte? Warum Unsicherheit, Nervosität und Ärger? --- und wie sieht eine sichere & gute Beziehung aus (und fühlt sich an).
Die Annahme: Ereignisse der frühen Kindheit & der Erziehungsstil unserer Eltern prägen, wie wir als Erwachsene unsere Partnerschaften, Freundschaften & Arbeitsbeziehungen leben.
Für manche gut. Für manche weniger gut.
Ich setze mich mit den Beziehungstypen auseinander, weil ich glaube, dass sie einen wesentlichen Einfluss auf die Gestaltung von Freundschaften haben (und auf Liebesbeziehungen sowie menschliche Beziehungen jeglicher Art).
Dabei habe ich entdeckt, dass ich oft einen vermeidenen Beziehungsstil habe - ich weiche lieber aus, trenne mich oder spreche Probleme nicht an, weil ich wahrscheinlich in meiner Kindheit aus unterschiedlichen Ereignissen gelernt habe... dass bringt eh nichts, ich kann anderen nicht vertrauen, das macht man nicht, meine Bedürfnisse sind nicht wichtig, usw.
In der Auseinandersetzung mit den Beziehungs- / Bindungstypen habe ich bemerkt, wie gut es mit tut, mit anderen mich darüber auszutauschen.
Weil:
* Ich bin nicht allein.
* Ich lernen die Gefühle anderer kennen
* Ich entwickle ein gutes Gefühl für die anderen Beziehungsstile (nicht nur meinen)
* Ich löse das Thema für mich Schritt für Schritt - und werde immer sicher in meinen Bindungen & Beziehungen.
In eine Workshop-Beschreibung zu schreiben, dass ich mich oft beim vermeidenden Beziehungsstil entdecke... ist kein Vermeiderverhalten mehr 😊. Halleluja!
.
**🎁 Das kannst erwarten**
Ich lade Dich zu diesem Workshop ein, damit Du einen weiteren Schritt Richtung mehr Leichtigkeit & Ehrlichkeit in Beziehung gehen kannst. Ich werde eine kleine Einführung zu den Bindungsstilen geben - und dann steht der Austausch miteinander im Mittelpunkt:
* Was sind Situationen, die mich triggern?
* Wie geht es mir dann?
* Wie reguliere ich mein Nervensystem?
Meine Erfahrung ist: Austausch & Offenheit hilft, mit sich selbst und anderen relaxter zu werden.
.
Ein Link oder ein Buch zur Vorbereitung findest Du weiter unten. Es wäre gut, wenn Du eines von beiden bereits gelesen hättest oder von anderer Seite Vorwissen zu den Bindungstypen / Beziehungstypen hast.
.
.
**⏰ Die Türen sind offen ab 18:15 Uhr. Komm am besten schon 18.15 Uhr**
Mantel aufhängen, Toilette, eine Runde schwatzen und los ...
.
**❓ Darf ein zweites Mal kommen?**
Ja, sehr gern. Ich halte es sogar für sinnvoll, mehrfahr zu kommen, wenn Dir der Workshop gefallen hat: Das Thema vertiefen, die eigenen Beobachtungen aus den letzten Wochen verarbeiten und sich mit neuen & alten Bekannten über das Thema weiter austauschen.
💬 **Agenda**
18:15 Uhr - Doors Open & Ankommen
18:30 Uhr - Start des Workshops
* Einführung, Vorstellung
* Kleines Kennenlernen
* Einführung in das Thema durch mich
* Verständnisfragen
* Verschiedene Austauschrunden mit Vertiefungsfragen (der größte zeitliche Anteil)
* Offene Fragen
21:30 Uhr - Ende
.
Zwischendurch machen wir eine kleine Pause.
.
Tausche Dich mit Gleichgesinnten über ein wesentliches Thema Deines Lebens aus. Du kannst immer wählen, mit wem Du Dich in welcher Tiefe unterhalten möchtest. Dein Gegenüber natürlich auch :). Nein heißt nein, Ja heißt Ja 🤗
.
**🏠 Der Veranstaltungsraum**
* Wir haben einen wunderschönen Raum im Kieztreff in Berlin Mitte (mit sauberen Toiletten!).
* nähe Hackescher Markt. Sehr gut mit den Öffis zu erreichen.
* Wenn Du vor Ort ankommst, ist alles ausgeschildert.
.
**🎒 Das bringst Du mit ...**
* Etwas zu trinken (z.B. deine Wasserflasche, keinen Alkohol!)
* Wenn Du magst: Zettel und Stift.
* Du solltest satt sein und vorher gegessen haben
* Bargeld für den Wertschätzungsbeitrag (10-20 Euro)
.
📋 **Kann ich mich vorbereiten?**
Ja! Vielen Menschen sind die Beziehungstypen bekannt. Wenn Du etwas Grundwissen hast, ist das sehr nützlich für den Workshop.
Ansonsten empfehle ich diesen Link zu lesen:
Link: [Welcher Beziehungstyp bin ich?](https://chrisbloom.de/blog/welcher-beziehungstyp-bin-ich-mit-test/)
Dieses Buch ist eine sehr gute Einführung in den Workshop. Der Workshop wird sich daran orientieren:
* **[Buch: Warum wir uns immer in den falschen verlieben](https://amzn.to/498A9js) (Werbung, Amazon-Link)**
[Werbung: Als Amazon-Partner verdiene ich an qualifizierten Verkäufen.]
Das Buch orientiert sich an Liebesbeziehungen, die Erkenntnisse sind meiner Meinung nach aber auf alle menschliche Beziehungen anwendbar.
🚫 **Was ist der Workshop nicht:**
Der Workshop ist kein therapeutisches Angebot. Dafür bin ich nicht ausgebildet (bisher noch nicht mal im Selbststudium).
Wenn Du aufgrund der Erkenntnisse beim Lesen des Buches, der Links oder der Gespräche auf dem Workshop zum Ergebnis kommst, dass eine Therapie für Dich sinnvoll sein kann, dann wäre das ein richtig guter Schritt.
.
💫 **Warum der Workshop gut für Dich ist**
* Ich glaube: Niemand ist perfekt. (und gleichzeitig deshalb genau richtig 🙂)
* Ich glaube, dass jeder in wenigstens minimaler Form manchmal Arten von unsicheren Bindungsverhalten zeigt
* Gleichzeitig wird jeder im Leben mit Menschen zu tun haben, die ein unsicheres Bindungsverhalten zeigen.
.
Mit sich selbst und anderen reflektiert umgehen zu können, finde ich eine zentrale Fähigkeit im Leben.
.
Ich finde, dass gute menschliche Beziehungen sind der zentrale Schlüssel zu einem erfüllten Leben sind (das finden laut Jacobsstudie übrigens 85 Prozent der Menschen in Deutschland).
.
Die Bindungstypen / Bindungsverhalten sind meiner Meinung nach ein zentrales Modell, um gute menschliche Beziehungen führen zu können.
.
🧑🏼 **Mehr über mich:**
Ich forsche seit 5 Jahren zu guten Freundschaften, wie man diese aufbaut und vertieft. Du erfährst mehr über mich auf [www.abenteuer-freundschaft.de](www.abenteuer-freundschaft.de).

Single Party in Berlin mal anders
So hast du andere Leute in Berlin wahrscheinlich noch nie kennengelernt!
Bis zu 10 Singles, die sich zuvor nicht kennen, treffen sich in einer Bar und lernen sich bei einem eigens für diese Veranstaltungsreihe entwickelten Spiel näher kennen.
Das Spiel kombiniert eine gelungene Mischung aus Fragen, Aktionsaufgaben und lustiger Unterhaltung, die alleine oder als Team gemeistert werden. Durch verschiedene Aufgaben und Fragen kommen die Spieler in direkte Interaktion miteinander und lernen sich im Spielverlauf näher kennen.
Im Vergleich zur klassischen Single Party lernst du bei Socialmatch wirklich nur Singles in deiner Altersgruppe kennen und kommst von ganz alleine ins Gespräch mit den anderen Teilnehmern. Ein Spielmoderator vor Ort informiert über den Ablauf und leitet durch den Abend.
Sicher dir jetzt deinen Platz beim nächsten Event unter [[www.socialmatch.de](http://www.socialmatch.de/)]
und lerne neue Leute in deiner Stadt kennen.
Dieses Event ist für die Altersgruppe 20 - 35 Jahre.
P.S. Socialmatch erhielt 2015 bereits einen Award für das Konzept, teste es selbst ;-)
**Achtung: Nur mit Buchung über die Website ist eine Teilnahme möglich!**

**Abstract**
Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively.
This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way.
