About Event

This is a small, invite-only gathering for tech people in Copenhagen who care about mental health and want a calm, safe space.

We’ll be 6–10 people and spend about an hour together in a guided format:

  • Welcome and a short intro to why this space exists

  • Quick grounding (1–2 minutes of breathing)

  • Sharing round: “How are you really?” – each person gets a few minutes, with no interruptions and no pressure

  • Open conversation or smaller group chats, if it feels right

  • Closing round: “One word for how I leave today”

No networking pressure, no pitching, no need to “perform”. Just a quiet, respectful space to show up as you are.

Future events may include sauna, cold plunge, yoga, breathwork, walks and soft social meetups.

Some sessions might also include a professional coach – but this first one is just us, keeping it simple and human.


Who it’s for

Tech people in Copenhagen who:

  • Care about mental health and wellbeing

  • Want a calm, safe, non-judgmental space

  • Prefer smaller, more intimate groups over big public meetups


Why it exists

This circle exists to create a small, trusted community where we can be honest about things like stress, burnout, impostor syndrome, loneliness and general life pressure – and support each other without judgment.

It’s peer support, not therapy. We’re here to listen, relate and make it a bit easier to be human in tech.


About the Series

Types of activities

Talking circle / check-in
Small group (max 20 people), around 2 hours, with:

  • Welcome + reminder of the Code of Care (confidentiality, respect)

  • Short grounding (1–2 minutes of breathing)

  • Round: “How are you really?” (2–3 minutes each, no interruptions)

  • Open conversation or smaller groups

  • Closing round: “One word for how I leave today”

Body-based activities

  • Sauna, cold plunge, yoga, breathwork

  • Combined with a gentle check-in before or after

Soft social meetups

  • Board games, coffee, walk in a park, coworking afternoon

  • Still mental-health friendly, but lighter and more social

Some future events may include a professional coach or instructor.


Code of Care

To keep this a genuinely safe space, we follow a simple Code of Care:

  • Confidentiality – what’s shared in the group stays in the group.

  • No fixing / no coaching unless asked – we listen more than we advise.

  • No judgment – different experiences and perspectives are welcome.

  • No pressure to share – you can always pass on any question.

  • Not therapy – this is peer support, not professional treatment.

If someone needs deeper support or is in crisis, we encourage them to reach out to professional help or emergency services. This group is a complement, not a replacement.


More practical info

Entry rule

  • Direct personal invite only.

  • Friend-of-a-member (referral) is welcome, with a short intro chat first.

Group size strategy

  • We aim for 6–20 core members.

  • If it gets too big, we’ll create a waiting list or split into smaller groups.

Language

  • The main language is English.

  • People are very welcome to talk 1:1 in any language they prefer.
