Nature Appreciation

Jenseits des Oberflächlichen **Bist du es leid, dich nur über das Wetter oder Belanglosigkeiten zu unterhalten?** **Wünschst du dir Gespräche, die inspirieren und wirklich etwas in dir bewegen?** Dann lade ich dich herzlich zu den nächsten „Spirituellen Gesprächen“ ein – einer zweistündigen Zusammenkunft für alle, die auf der Suche nach Antworten, Orientierung sowie tieferem Sinn und Erfüllung im Leben sind – und dabei auch Gleichgesinnte kennenlernen möchten, aus denen vielleicht sogar neue Freundschaften entstehen. Entdecke und erlebe, wie du im Jetzt leben kannst – jenseits der begrenzenden Wahrnehmung der fünf Sinne und des Denkens – um ein erfülltes, sinnvolles und spirituelles Leben zu führen. Wir teilen Einsichten und Impulse, die dir helfen können, ein sinnerfülltes Leben zu führen. Diese Gespräche basieren auf keiner bestimmten spirituellen oder religiösen Richtung. Ich bin **Dieter Langenecker**, ein spiritueller Begleiter und Moderator für tiefgründige Gespräche. Seit vielen Jahren unterstütze ich Menschen dabei, ihren eigenen Weg zu finden, innere Klarheit zu gewinnen und ein Leben zu gestalten, das sie wirklich erfüllt. Schau' dir dazu dieses kurze **[Video](https://youtu.be/_BN4Ch42EUk)** an. Ein Nachmittag für **tiefe Gespräche**, **Offenheit** und **echte Verbindung**. Lass dich sich inspirieren, begegne Gleichgesinnten und genieße eine herzliche Atmosphäre. Für **Kaffee, Tee, Gebäck und Getränke** ist gesorgt. **Beitrag:** € 15,- pro Person (zur Deckung der Kosten für Kaffee/Tee, gesunde Süßigkeiten und die Raummiete) Teilnehmer aus verschiedenen Meetup-Gruppen kommen zusammen — wobei die Gesamtgruppe bewusst klein gehalten wird (max 15 Personen). Ich freue mich auf dich. **Dieter Langenecker** [www.langenecker.com](www.langenecker.com)

❄️ Welcome to Seek Discomfort – Ice Bathing Club Vienna! 🧊 Ready to do something a little crazy… in the best way? We’re a welcoming community of people who love stepping outside our comfort zones, trying new things, and facing the cold together. No matter who you are, where you’re from, or how old you are — you’re welcome here. New to Vienna? An expat? Just curious? Perfect. Most of our meetups are in English, and it’s a great way to connect with like-minded people. At our sessions, we dip (or swim!) in icy water, support each other, practice optional simple breathing techniques, and discover just how strong we really are — mentally and physically. **Arrival**: We usually arrive between 11:00-11:15 and then go into the water together. Depending on the weather and the mood, we might do a breathwork before dipping. ❗️Safety first, always. No pressure, no ego. You only do what feels right for you. Expect encouragement, positive energy, and a shared adventure you won’t forget. 🎒 What to bring: Swimsuit, towel, warm clothes, and something hot to drink. Come challenge yourself, feel alive, and maybe even fall in love with the cold. Hope to see you in the water soon 🧊🔥

(This talk will be held in German) Am 18.4. verschaffen wir uns einen Einblick in die Kultur der Shipibo aus dem peruanischen Amazonas. Sie bezeichnen sich selbst als "Dieta-Menschen“ und leben in einer tiefen Verbindung zur Natur, die sie als beseelt und geistgetragen verstehen. Sie sind vor allem durch ihren traditionellen Gebrauch von Ayahuasca bekannt, welcher jedoch nur einen kleinen Teil ihrer kulturellen Praxis darstellt. Der Vortrag beleuchtet die Cosmovision der Shipibo sowie zentrale Elemente wie die Dieta, Meisterpflanzen und ihre traditionellen Gesänge. Auch nach der Präsentation bleibt der Raum geöffnet für gemeinsame Diskussion und Austausch. Türen offen: 18:00 // Beginn: 18:30 Eintritt 5€\* cash only (Für Mitglieder frei. Werde ein Mitglied: [www.psychedelicsociety.at](https://www.psychedelicsociety.at/)) Sagedergasse 18, 1120 Vienna (Eingang zwischen Billa and Bipa; nicht barrierefrei) Der Vortragende Biri Metsa verbrachte viele Jahre in Peru, lebte eng mit den Shipibo und wurde in ihre Tradition eingeweiht. Er arbeitete in verschiedenen Heilungszentren und vermittelt heute fundiertes Wissen über die traditionelle Heilkunde der Shipibo mit besonderem Fokus auf dem respektvollen Umgang mit ihrem Wissen. Sein Anliegen ist es, die Prakiten der Shipibo verständlich zu machen und ihr Potenzial für eine harmonischere Verbindung zwischen Mensch und Natur aufzuzeigen. //We do not provide any illegal substances, nor allow their distribution or consumption at our events. Our mission is to provide high-quality information and safety guidelines about psychedelic substances.
