**How do we start creating change with the people we’d rather cancel?** *“Calling In”* is the next book we’re taking on in the Kokoro Book Club. We live in a world where algorithms amplify the loudest voices, where we increasingly curate our relationships based on beliefs, style, and social appearance. AI systems make everything smoother and more efficient — but sometimes they remove the frictions that help us grow, understand, and make sense of the world. In uncertain times like ours, it’s only natural to long for connection and belonging. It might even be the whole point of our lives. But is our desire to belong to a certain group making us lose the ability to connect with others? Disagreement — even painful, difficult conversations — is part of any living relationship. We disagree so we **can** connect. And if we want change to happen beyond our echo chambers, we need those connections. So choosing Loretta J. Ross’s *Calling In* for our next Kokoro Book Club was an easy decision after Alejandro Martinez recommended it. Truly grateful - and looking forward to the conversations ahead! When? Thursday 5th of February at 19:00 Where? @Bar Olinda in the Schönbrunnerstrasse 23, 1050 Vienna About the book: From a pioneering Black feminist and MacArthur “Genius” Fellow, this urgent and exhilarating memoir-manifesto-handbook provides bold, practical new ways to transform conflicts into connections, even with those we’re tempted to walk away from. In 1979, Loretta Ross was a single mother in Washington who’d had to drop out of Howard University. She was working at the DC Rape Crisis Center when the organization got a letter from a man in prison saying he wanted to learn how to not be a rapist anymore. At first, she was furious. As a survivor of sexual violence, she wanted to write back pouring out her rage. Instead, she made a different choice, a choice to reject the response her trauma was pushing her towards. This choice would set her on the path towards developing a framework that would come to guide her whole career: Rather than calling people out, try to call even your unlikeliest allies in. Hold them accountable—but with love.

PCE - "Philosophic Conversation in English" is a discussion event in English language which focuses on psychology, philosophy, self-consciousness and self-realization. The conversation is based on inclusive discussion rules. We will meet at at a restaurant where we will have a private room exclusively reserved for our event. At the beginning we will choose the topic to discuss. Everybody can suggest a topic. Then we will vote what to discuss. The person who suggested the winning topic will then explain his idea of the topic. Afterwards everybody gets his/her chance to make a statement. But you can also decide to remain silent and only listen, if you prefer that. We have a time limit for statements, so that everybody has enough time to speak. It is not allowed to interrupt somebody who is speaking. After a statement everybody can ask a question and the speaker will answer. After the first part there will be a 10 minutes break before we start the second part. Everybody is welcome to our event: We are interested in your thoughts and opinions! It is no problem if you arrive late and you can also leave whenever you want. Please check out last event's topics via this link: [http://pce-topic.project-website.org](http://pce-topic.project-website.org/)

**Jenseits des Oberflächlichen – mit spiritueller Tiefe, praktischer Inspiration und in entspannter Atmosphäre.** *"Es gibt absolut nichts Falsches daran, auf der „Ebene der Form“ zu manifestieren – sei es materieller Wohlstand, kreative Errungenschaften oder Dinge dieser Art. Tatsächlich kann das Manifestieren auf diese Weise zu den lohnendsten und erfüllendsten Erfahrungen auf unserer menschlichen Reise gehören.* *Doch für viele von uns geht wahre Manifestation über die äußere Welt hinaus und dringt tiefer – in unser inneres Sein (und darüber hinaus)."* (N.N.) ### Einladung zu den nächsten **Spirituellen Gesprächen** Bist du es leid, Gespräche zu führen, die an der Oberfläche bleiben? Sehnst du dich nach Austausch, der inspiriert, berührt – und wirklich etwas in dir bewegt? Dann lade ich dich herzlich zu den **Spirituellen Gesprächen** ein: einer zweistündigen Zusammenkunft für Menschen, die sich nach Tiefe, Orientierung und einem sinnerfüllten Leben sehnen. Gemeinsam erforschen wir, wie es ist, im **Jetzt** zu leben – jenseits von Gedankenmustern, innerem Lärm und der rein verstandesmäßigen Sicht auf die Welt. ### Wer ist eingeladen? Menschen mitten im Leben (typischerweise 45+), die * äußerlich vieles erreicht haben, sich innerlich aber noch nicht ganz angekommen fühlen * eine tiefere spirituelle Verbindung und echten Sinn suchen * persönliche Begleitung und Austausch auf Augenhöhe schätzen ### Themen, in die wir gemeinsam eintauchen * **Spiritualität erforschen** – die Verbundenheit von Selbst und Leben entdecken * **Weisheit kultivieren** – innere Ruhe, Kraft und Klarheit wachsen lassen * **Mit Wandel umgehen** – Lebensübergänge bewusst gestalten * **Den eigenen Sinn erkennen** – was trägt dich wirklich? * **Dem Leben vertrauen** – Freude, Liebe und Offenheit zulassen Bring deine Gedanken, Fragen und das mit, was dich gerade bewegt. Wir teilen Einsichten, Erfahrungen und Impulse – ohne Dogma, ohne Belehrung. Diese Gespräche sind **frei von religiösen oder spirituellen Zugehörigkeiten**. ### Über mich Ich bin **Dieter Langenecker**, spiritueller Begleiter und Moderator für tiefgehende Gespräche. Seit vielen Jahren unterstütze ich Menschen dabei, innere Klarheit zu finden, ihrem eigenen Weg zu vertrauen und ein Leben zu gestalten, das sich stimmig und erfüllt anfühlt. 👉 *Hier kannst du dir ein Bild von meiner Arbeit machen:* **[Video](https://youtu.be/_BN4Ch42EUk)** Ein Nachmittag für **Tiefe, Offenheit und echte Verbindung**. Begegne Gleichgesinnten, lass dich inspirieren und genieße eine warme, ruhige Atmosphäre. Für Gebäck und Getränke ist gesorgt. **Beitrag:** € 15,- (zur Deckung der Kosten für Kaffee/Tee, gesunde Süßigkeiten und Raummiete) Bitte gib mir kurz Bescheid, falls du doch nicht teilnehmen kannst. Und sei bitte pünktlich. Falls das Haupttor geschlossen ist, nutze den Code **2008 + Schlüsselsymbol** oder schreibe mir unter **0681 1069 1321**. Wenn dich das anspricht, **melde dich jetzt an** und sei Teil einer tiefgehenden Gesprächsrunde. Ich freue mich auf dich. Dieter Langenecker [www.langenecker.com](http://www.langenecker.com/)

With significant planetary shifts and super rare cosmic alignments on the horizon, there's no better time to deepen your connection with yourself and understand what this unbelievable year has in store. **Why Astrology?** Astrology is a symbolic language 🌌 and, as such, it is the ideal method for understanding and connecting with our unconscious. If you want to get to know yourself better and strengthen the connection to your inner wisdom and creativity, then this session is for you. 💫 **What Makes This Different:** This is not a classical teaching event. Rather, what you can expect here is a fun, guided experience, mixing astrology with **creative journaling** ✍️ and **meditative reflection** 🧘.

After this session, you will understand how astrology can be used to forge a deeper connection with yourself and access more of the magic you carry. **What to Expect:** This cozy session will give you the chance to connect with peers and become more mindful of your astrology journey through deeper understanding and perspectives. Every week we are working on a different topic, question, chart placement, etc. Feel free to become a regular, or drop by whenever you wish. 🌙 We will begin the session with an introduction of all participants ⭐ We will then guide you through various exercises in small groups, meant to help you to explore the wealth that astrology has in store for you. 💬 The session will conclude with an open discussion, and a chance to ask any questions. **Who Should Attend:** This session is open to complete beginners 🌱 as well as those who have experience with astrology. It is recommended to have your birth chart available. To generate your chart, I recommend using the website ***astro.com*** 💰This event is offered COMPLETELY FREE OF CHARGE but donations are more than welcome.

**People Analytics 101: Making Sense of Compensation Data** Compensation data is one of the most widely used and widely misunderstood forms of people analytics. The session will cover where compensation data comes from, including market pricing data, internal payroll data, and benchmarking sources, and how companies think about structuring and analyzing that information. We will explore how compensation data is leveraged to set salary ranges, manage internal equity, support hiring and retention, and align pay with business strategy. A portion of the session will address common data challenges and limitations, such as market noise, inconsistent job matching, and incomplete datasets, while keeping the primary focus on practical use rather than technical depth. The session will also look ahead at where the space is going, including the growing impact of pay transparency laws, expanding pay equity requirements, and emerging regulations in the US and Europe that require organizations to report on gender and pay gaps. The goal is to give attendees a clear mental model for how compensation analytics works today and why getting it right is becoming increasingly critical. (note: we are back at Rev1 this month!) **About Our Speaker** [Alex Moore](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexscottmoore/) is the founder of [Moore Cooperative](https://moorecooperative.com/), where he advises organizations on compensation strategy, pay equity, and people analytics.
