Terremoto en Haití

Join me for a photo walk :) We will gather at Gasometer (in front of Apotheke - straight out of Ubahn). After a short introduction we will walk around the 4 iconic buildings, then make our way to Ostbahnsteg, where a view over Donaukanal awaits. At the end of the walk everyone is welcome to join for a warm drink at a nearby cafe. The event is free of charge but will be limited to max 10 people as it is meant as an opportunity to connect, and the park is the perfect location for losing parts of a group. It is suitable for all regardless of age/level/gear. IMPORTANT: as these events are usually full, please make sure to cancel at least 24h in advance if you see you aren´t able to make it. Failing to do so will result in a ban from the next 3 events.

On se rencontre chaque mercredi pour parler français. Parmi nous, il y a des gens qui ont le français comme langue maternelle, et des gens qui aiment le français et le maîtrisent plus ou moins. On aime discuter et parler de tout et de rien, et on est toujours content de recevoir des gens qui sont de passage ou des nouvelles personnes qui veulent écouter, parler, pratiquer ou poser des questions. Cette semaine, on retourne au Café Merkur, Café sympa et calme avec une cuisine de mediteranée orientale. La table est toujours gérée d'une façon très libre et relaxée, on se rencontre et on parle aux autres participants et participantes autour de nous. NOTE: Si vous comptez venir, inscrivez-vous s'il vous plaît, pour qu'on puisse prévoir assez (mais pas trop non plus) d'espace au restaurant. Comme ça, on sera à l'aise et l'endroit qui nous accueille aussi. On commence à 18h30 , mais ce n'est pas un problème de rejoindre après. Normalement, il y a au moins une dizaine de personnes qui vient aux rencontres. Cette rencontre est aussi annoncée sur notre groupe facebook ("Vienna French Meetings") A mercredi alors!

**Monthly "Pub Moot" and Lecture Series- *in English*** **This Month’s Topic:** **Eros and the Sacred: The Origins and Meaning of Sexual Reproduction** *Why does sex exist at all? From a biological standpoint, sexual reproduction is expensive, risky, and complicated — so why did life evolve it? In this talk, Nuphar explores the deep origins and biological logic of sexual reproduction and asks what this tells us about desire, polarity, and human connection. Drawing on her background in biology, she examines how the imperatives of reproduction have shaped human behaviour, relationships, and culture — and what the Western Mysteries and pagan traditions have long understood, symbolically and spiritually, about the sacred interplay of masculine and feminine principles.* Pub Moots will generally be held on the **4th Wednesday** of every month. Sometimes there will be exceptions based on what is going on, so make sure to check back here on Meetup for the exact information All are welcome- experienced practioners, newbies, merely curious, Wiccans and Wiccan-curious and practitioners of similar traditions and those who have no idea why they want to come but just do and even those who don't know a thing but simply like Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings and suchlike... :-) **General schedule of the evening:** 19:00- 19:30- Meetup, time to eat and socialize 19:30- 20:30- Lecture and Discussion 20:30-21:00 and beyond- Open discussion and more socializing- eat, drink, and be merry! **Attendance is free** but you will need to buy something at the pub. :-) *(The Pub is old-school Austrian and cash-only, so bring paper money! :-))*

We’ll be pairing the cinematic magic of the 1920s with a curated selection of wines that bridge the gap between the Old World and the New. The movie: [Midnight in Paris](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAfR8omt-CY) After a "welcome glass" of wine we are going to try the following tasty wines: **🍷 Rose Wines** 1\. France / Provence : Studio by Miraval Rosé 2025 2\. France: Hecht & Bannier Côtes de Provence Rosé 2025 **🍷 Red Wine** 🇮🇹 3\. Spain: Marqués de Sorní Gran Reserva 2019 4\. Spain: Casa del Rey Gran Reserva 2016 5\. Australia: Cabernet Shiraz 2024 6\. Italy: Barbanera Vecciano Collezione Privata 2023 ### 🎬 Featured Film: Midnight in Paris Step into the rainy streets of the City of Light with this enchanting, Academy Award-winning tale of nostalgia and discovery. The story follows Gil Pender, a disillusioned Hollywood screenwriter who wanders the cobblestone alleys of Paris, searching for the inspiration to finish his first novel. When the clock strikes twelve, a mysterious vintage car appears, whisking Gil away on a journey through time to the 1920s "Golden Age." As he rubs elbows with legendary icons like Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Salvador Dalí, Gil begins to realize that while the past is intoxicating, the real magic happens when we embrace the present. It’s a love letter to art, history, and the idea that some things—like a good story or a fine vintage—only get better with time. **💶 Participation Fee** 25€ per person for Silver Members 30€ per person for Basic Members **👉 Cash only, please.** **No‑shows will be removed from the group** — let’s keep this community respectful and enjoyable for everyone. ⭐ Optional: Support the Group Until now, I’ve covered all costs for running this group (Meetup fees, organization, etc.) myself.

Hi everyone! On **Sunday, April 26, 2026**, I’m planning a scenic cross-border hike from the charming town of **Retz** in Lower Austria to the historic Czech town of **Znaim (Znojmo)**. This route leads through gentle countryside, vineyards, open fields, and quiet rural landscapes typical for the Weinviertel region. We start the hike in Retz and finish in the old town of Znaim, known for its impressive medieval architecture and its location above the Thaya River. The trail takes us through rolling hills and agricultural landscapes, gradually crossing the border into the Czech Republic. The terrain is mostly easy to walk, with wide paths and only moderate elevation changes. **Highlights** 🌾 **Typical Weinviertel landscapes** with vineyards, fields, and wide open views 🌍 **A scenic cross-border experience** from Austria into the Czech Republic 🏰 **Finish in the historic old town of Znaim**, a charming town with impressive medieval architecture **Hike Details** * **Duration:** approx. 6.5 hours (pure walking time including some sightseeing in Znojmo) * **Distance:** approx. 21 km * **Elevation:** ↗️ 400 m up * **Difficulty:** Easy to moderate (main challenge is the distance) * **Pace:** We’ll walk at a comfortable, social pace and take short breaks as needed More information on the trail: [https://www.bahn-zum-berg.at/weinviertel/weinberge-und-thaya-von-retz-nach-znaim/](https://www.bahn-zum-berg.at/weinviertel/weinberge-und-thaya-von-retz-nach-znaim/) **Fitness note** Although we will walk at a relaxed pace, the hike requires physical effort due to its length (about **21 km**) and elevation gain (around **350 meters**). The trails themselves are not technically difficult, but a reasonable level of fitness is needed to comfortably complete the distance. This hike is therefore probably **not suitable** for people who do not go hiking regularly, who have not joined our group hikes before, or who are not used to longer hikes. **Meeting Point & Travel** **Meeting Time:** 08:30 at **Praterstern station** (Ground floor near ticket machines, exit to platforms 1 & 2) Please arrive a few minutes early so we can buy the group tickets. **Departure:** Train **REX3** leaves at **09:01** (presumably Platform 1–2) **Arrival:** Retz at **10:12** **Direct trains from Znojmo back to Vienna:** 16:57, 18:57, 20:57 I recommend avoiding the last train back, just in case. **What to Expect** We’ll walk together at a **relaxed, social pace**, staying as a group throughout the day. This is **not a race or performance hike** — the focus is on shared experience, conversation, and enjoying the landscape at an unhurried rhythm. We’ll take regular short breaks whenever useful. 🥪 We don’t plan to stop at huts or restaurants during the hike, so please bring your own snacks and drinks (at least **1.5 liters of water**). 🌧️ Weather can be changeable, so **basic rain protection is recommended**. 🥾 Please wear **sturdy hiking shoes**. Some sections may be muddy, depending on the weather. Please note that **there are no public toilets on the trail itself.** 🧢 Please bring **sun protection** (hat, sunscreen, sunglasses), especially on warm or sunny days. ⚠️**Important** Since we are crossing an international border on foot, please do not forget your **passport or national ID card (Personalausweis)**. Even though there are usually no border controls between Austria and Czechia, you are legally required to carry a valid travel document. Each person is responsible for their own documents and entry requirements. **Ticket Option** The **VOR Freizeitticket** costs **€19.90** for the day in Lower Austria. More information: [https://www.vor.at/en/tickets/ticket-overview/leisure-ticket](https://www.vor.at/en/tickets/ticket-overview/leisure-ticket) Please note: The following tickets are only valid until **Retz**: * Einfach-raus ticket * VOR Freizeitticket * Klimaticket Ostregion / Österreich You must buy your own ticket for the section between Znojmo and Retz (approx €3,4 for each direction). The VOR Freizeitticket is only valid on regional trains in Lower Austria. If you are unsure about ticket options, don’t worry — just message me directly. And if this sounds complicated: it isn’t. I will help coordinate everything at the meeting point so we can start the hike in a relaxed way. **Disclaimer:** As always, this is a free, private leisure activity. I am not a certified hiking guide, and participation is at your own responsibility and risk. I will send a weather update to everyone registered on **Friday evening**. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Looking forward to seeing you for this spring hike!

Welcome to our cozy **The Psychology and Personal Growth Circle** which is part of the Social Book Club! We will meet to discuss the book “**Antifragile**" (426 pages) written by Nassim Nicholas Taleb. The idea is to connect with like minded readers that love to grow and get to know themselves better through reading and especially applying knowledge from books. We meet up once a month and talk about our progress applying knowledge from a certain book and our experience. The event will take place at the volunteer organisation **MUT**. It is an organisation to supports humans, animals and the environment especially in Vienna. MUT or the Social Book Club look forward to some donation to cover the cost of this event. If you would like to help, please bring some cash with you. Book Description: In The Black Swan Taleb outlined a problem; in *Antifragile* he offers a definitive solution: how to gain from disorder and chaos while being protected from fragilities and adverse events. For what he calls the "antifragile" is one step beyond robust, as it benefits from adversity, uncertainty and stressors, just as human bones get stronger when subjected to stress and tension. See you then! All the best Sebastian
