Club de carte - Literatură scrisă în limba română – Viena Îți place să citești și ți-ar plăcea să vorbești despre cărți cu oameni care împărtășesc aceeași bucurie? Lansăm un club de carte scrisă în limba română, la Viena, dedicat tuturor celor care vor să transforme lectura într-o experiență împărtășită. Ne dorim întâlniri relaxate, cu conversații autentice, opinii diferite, râsete, poate și mici controverse – exact așa cum se întâmplă atunci când o carte chiar ne pune pe gânduri. Clubul este deschis celor care trăiesc în Viena și citesc sau vor să înceapă să citească literatură scrisă în limba română, dar și oricui se simte conectat la limba română. Într-un oraș atât de divers precum Viena, astfel de întâlniri sunt o ocazie frumoasă de a crea legături, de a ne regăsi prin povești și de a construi o mică comunitate în jurul cărților. Nu contează cât de mult sau cât de repede citești. Contează să îți dorești să fii acolo și să împărtășești ce ai simțit citind. ⸻ 📖 Cartea cu care începem: Kinderland de Liliana Corobca Ebook disponibil: [https://www.libris.ro/ebook/ebook-kinderland-liliana-corobca/12972084](https://www.libris.ro/ebook/ebook-kinderland-liliana-corobca/12972084) Scribd: [https://www.scribd.com/document/731993970/Corobca-Liliana-Kinderland-retail](https://www.scribd.com/document/731993970/Corobca-Liliana-Kinderland-retail) 📍 Locația: Europe Direct Wien - Europazentrum Wien Lassingleithnerpl. 2/3, 1020 Wien 🗓 Data și ora: Sâmbătă 25.04.26, 16:00 Coordonatoare: Liuba Rusnac, scriitoare 🔗 Link înscriere / detalii: moldor.org@gmail.com Dacă vrei ca lectura să nu mai fie doar un moment solitar, ci începutul unei conversații, te așteptăm cu drag.

**Family of Abundance** Sonntag, 26.04.2026 Dieses Wochenende ist rand voll mit Ecstatic Dance Events. Zum Landen machen wir also **statt unserem regulären Dance** einen tiefer in die Verbindung gehenden **Familienabend**. Weniger Bühne, mehr Wohnzimmer. Weniger Sensation, mehr geerdetes Aufladen. Ein Wohlfühlabend, mit besonders nährenden Momentan. Wir bringen die vielen wundervollen Geschenke der letzten Abundance Circles zusammen und schaffen einen offen Rahmen in dem wir als echte Familie die Abundance in unserem Alltag, in unserem gemeinsamen Hier und Jetzt wirklich Leben können. Wir beginnen im offenen Miteinander, sitzen beieinander, essen mitgebrachte Lieblingsspeisen, atmen durch, lassen die Woche ausklingen. Danach gehen wir miteinander in einen Abundance Circle – als Familie, die sich tiefer wahrnimmt, in einem immer klareren Fülle Feld. Mit einer kleinen Zeremonie, mit Kakao, mit viel Raum für das, was gerade da sein will. Nichts muss, vieles kann entstehen. Wir schenken uns und dem Thema Fülle Aufmerksamkeit und hören gut auf einander. Was danach passiert, entscheiden wir zusammen. Singen. Tanzen, ganz sanft, ganz akustisch. Den Kreis weitertragen – wir lauschen und folgen dem Impuls. Das ist ja eigentlich der Punkt: dass wir wieder lernen, aufeinander zu hören statt ein Programm abzuspulen. Klar angeleitet, damit die Energie aufrecht gehalten bleibt. Zum Abschluss lauschen wir einer Sound Journey wo jeder für sich sein kann oder in der Mitte des Raumes im Kuddle Circle. Nah. Warm. Getragen. Dann lassen wir gemeinsam ausklingen. Jeder bleibt solange er will – mit weiterem Essen, Musik und was sich aus der Entspanntheit heraus öffnet. **Ablauf** 🍲 16:00 Gemütliches Ankommen mit Potluck 💎 17:30 Abundance Circle mit Zeremonie 🪔 18:00 Wohlfühlraum & Kakao – gemeinsam im Abundance-Feld verankern 🎶 19:00 Wahlprogramm – Singen, Tanzen, Circle weiterführen (sanft & akustisch) 🌺 21:00 Sound Journey mit Kuddle Circle 🪷 22:00 Offenes Ende – Essen, Musik, Familie 🌿Als Beitrag, nimm bitte dein Lieblingsgericht und einen Förderbeitrag für unseren Raum mit. 📍 Vitality Base Vienna, Leberstraße 118A, 1110 Wien Find.VitaltiyBase.at 🔗 events.vitalitybase.at

❄️ 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 🧊🔥

Weekly screenings from a large archive of many of the most significant, yet seldom seen and rarely accessible cinematic masterpieces in the history of film - from its earliest beginnings to the present day. Screenings are in original language, if English, or original language with English subtitles. Films are selected democratically on the inspiration of a brief pre-screening discussion. The selected title is typically a "neglected gem" that most of us discover together for the first time. Individual taste is not a criterion and all participants are expected to put the interests of the group as a whole above personal preference or prejudice. In this sense, the emphasis is on openness, exploration, and surprise. Each screening is followed by an in-depth group discussion, led and moderated by the curator. WARNNG: FilmStory is not just about watching movies! Rather, it's a socially responsible, intellectual engagement, involving an organic approach to group study of film language, philosophy, art, history, politics, and technology. In this sense, the film is always merely the current highlight in an explorative, ongoing group discussion. **FilmStory** is a members-only series that involves a closely knit community of cinephiles. Events take place every Sunday in a comfortable, private setting with limited capacity. Participation is reserved primarily for regular members, but we're always ready to make new friends! Non-regular members may request to meet the community and, upon acceptance as a "new joiner," are welcome to participate in one event, according to space availability. New joiners are asked to make a €6 member dues contribution in advance of the requested date. New members receive a message of confirmation and the address of the Living Room in 1080 Vienna upon receipt of their dues contribution. **FilmStory** is presented and hosted by **[KulturSalon Wien](https://www.meetup.com/kultursalon-wien/)**.

Hi Running fellows, Whether you’re a walker, new to running, a semi-pro, a marathonist or a sprint star - if you want to start your weekend in an active way and enjoy the outdoors in lovely surroundings with a fun, international and multilingual group of people, you are welcome to join us! Every Saturday at 9:30 am, we meet, we run, in the magnificent Schönbrunn park, and then we go for breakfast. Want to discuss politics or the best recipes for banana pancakes? Not a problem. Not feeling social? Tune out with your earbuds - we can talk over breakfast. We are casual. You can be too. What to expect: Start by meeting Adrian, Ali, Liz, Paul and Sonia on-time at 9:30am outside the Schönbrunn U-Bahn stop (exit Grünbergstraße). (Coordinates: 48.1858130, 16.3200640) From there, we walk to the side park entrance where the “running” part begins. The important thing is that you run at your own pace. Typically, small groups of people will run at the same pace as you, so you never have to walk/run alone :) We finish one hour later, at about 10:40am, reconvening just inside the Hietzinger Tor exit. (Coordinates: 48.1858825, 16.3032647). From there, we’re off to breakfast! Breakfast Details: Anker bakery opposite the U4 Hietzing station and depending on the weather, grab something for a picnic in Schönbrunn park, or hang out in the bakery. If you missed us earlier, you can always go there around 10:45. We are a fun group of runners who don’t take things too seriously. We meet, chat, RUN, stretch, chat, EAT and we hang out over a beer every now and then. It's that easy. Please join us for breakfast after the run! The more the merrier. Typically we are 10-30 people, as not everyone who comes signs up on meetup. Important disclaimer: Please only run as much as you feel you can, considering the temperature, weather conditions, your own fitness etc... run and walk at your own pace as the organizers do not assume any liability for any injuries or health issues. Sonia, Adrian, Ali, Paul and Liz

**Caller: Richard Ades** **Band: The McKenzies** **Clinton Heights Lutheran Church** **15 Clinton Heights Ave, Columbus, OH 43202** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/) Please bring your own refillable water bottle.
