Ivy League

## The Portrait League – Paid Studio Sessions for Serious Hobby Photographers This is a structured portrait community — not a casual meetup. The Portrait League is a recurring studio (location) gathering for photographers who want to improve their portrait and headshot work in a focused, constructive environment. Each session will focus on a specific studio concept: – Classic 1-light headshots – Dramatic low-key portraits – High-key commercial looks – Editorial portrait setups – Creative color lighting Model included. We don’t rush for quantity. We work for quality. The goal is simple: Refine technique. Improve consistency. Develop a recognizable portrait style. This is for photographers who: • Want structured growth • Value critique over ego • Take their craft seriously • Prefer collaboration over chaos Spots are limited to maintain quality and productive energy. Investment Today: €15 Duration: approx. 2–3 hours If you want random shooting, this isn’t it. If you want to level up your portrait game, join the league. ***

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 “**Thinking, Fast and Slow**" (499 pages) written by Daniel Kahneman. 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 highly anticipated *Thinking, Fast and Slow*, Kahneman takes us on a groundbreaking tour of the mind and explains the two systems that drive the way we think. System 1 is fast, intuitive, and emotional; System 2 is slower, more deliberative, and more logical. Kahneman exposes the extraordinary capabilities—and also the faults and biases—of fast thinking, and reveals the pervasive influence of intuitive impressions on our thoughts and behavior. The impact of loss aversion and overconfidence on corporate strategies, the difficulties of predicting what will make us happy in the future, the challenges of properly framing risks at work and at home, the profound effect of cognitive biases on everything from playing the stock market to planning the next vacation—each of these can be understood only by knowing how the two systems work together to shape our judgments and decisions. If anyone would like to hang out **after** the book club discussion, you’re more than welcome to join us! We’ll be having a picnic and just relaxing afterward. All the best Andrea & Ani

We will meet in a calm and friendly place ( Parc, Café, Restaurant) to explore together some of Jiddu Krishnamurti’s key questions about awareness, relationship, and freedom. There will be no teaching, no authority — only open dialogue and attentive listening. Everyone is welcome, whether you are familiar with Jiddu Krishnamurti or simply curious about life and self-understanding. We’ll start with an open conversation around a theme such as “Listening without judgment” or “Can thought bring clarity?” Please bring openness, curiosity, and a readiness to listen — no books or notes needed. The spirit is not to discuss “what should be,” but to observe together “what is.”

Welcome to the Vienna Beach Volleyball community! 🌞🏖️ This group is for intermediate to advanced players who want to enjoy exciting, fast-paced games with others at a similar level. If you already know the rules, can serve, pass, set, and spike with confidence, you’ll fit right in. We meet regularly at courts in Vienna (mostly in the 22nd district), and our games are all about keeping the rallies going, improving our skills, and having fun while staying active. 👉 If you’re passionate about beach volleyball and ready for some challenging matches in a great community, join us and let’s play!

This is a group for meeting new people, eating brunch, and having discussions about science, life, philosophy, politics, and people. Anybody is free to join, and we charge no fees. This discussion group aims to have the absolute minimal level of structure necessary to ensure the conversation remains engaging to the majority of people present. In particular, we \*don't\* have fixed order of speaking or timed statements. So far, the balance we've struck is enforcing hand raising when conversation gets intense in order to minimize interruption, and to give the chair (me!) the power to occasionally call a snap election on the conversation topic.

**Learn Your Camera Workshop** Next Sunday, we’re hosting a beginner-friendly 3-hours workshop at **WienMitte Photography Studio**. You’ll learn how to understand your camera settings, take control of manual mode, and start creating better photos with more confidence. **Duration:** 3 hours **Cost:** 90€ **Location:** WienMitte Photography Studio Spaces are limited — DM to reserve your spot.

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

For English scroll down. Die Donauinsel – zwischen 1972 und 1988 gemeinsam mit der Neuen Donau erbaut, um Wien endgültig vor verheerenden Hochwässern zu schützen – ist heute aus dem Stadtbild nicht mehr wegzudenken. Dass an warmen Sommertagen auf der mehr als 21 Kilometer langen und bis zu 250 Meter breiten Insel einmal mehr als 200.000 Personen täglich unterwegs sein würden, war beim politischen Startschuss für das Projekt im Jahr 1969 allerdings weder geplant noch vorhersehbar. Ursprünglich als rein technisches Hochwasserschutzprojekt konzipiert und politisch höchst umstritten, entwickelte sich die Donauinsel erst im Lauf von mehr als 30 Jahren Planungs- und Bauzeit zu einem vielfältigen Natur- und Erholungsraum am Wasser. Die Ausstellung im Wien Museum beleuchtet die Geschichte und Gegenwart dieser besonderen Landschaft, die heute zu den wichtigsten Freiräumen in der Stadt zählt und Stadtbewohner:innen unterschiedlichsten Alters und diversester Herkunft für eine Vielzahl von Aktivitäten dient. Unter vielen anderen Objekten sind ein elf Meter langes historisches Donauinsel-Modell, ein mobiler Inselkiosk sowie aktuelle Foto- und Filmarbeiten von Klaus Pichler, Elodie Grethen und Dariusz Kowalski zu sehen. Wir treffen uns um 15:00 Uhr vor dem Eingang des Wien Museum, Karlsplatz 8, 1040 Wien. Jeden 1. Sonntag im Monat ist der Eintritt in die Sonderausstellungen des Wien Museum kostenlos. Nach dem Ausstellungsbesuch gehen wir in eines der nahegelegenen Cafés. ***English:*** The Danube Island – built between 1972 and 1988 along with the New Danube to protect Vienna from devastating floods – has become an integral part of the city’s identity. Back in 1969, when the project was launched, no one imagined that more than 200,000 people would spend beautiful summer days on this stretch of land, 13 miles long and up to 800 feet wide. What began as a purely technical and highly controversial flood-control project gradually transformed over more than 30 years of planning and construction into a diverse natural and recreational space on the water. The Wien Museum exhibition explores both the history and present of this extraordinary landscape, which today is one of Vienna’s most important open spaces. The island is used by residents of all ages and backgrounds for countless activities. Among many other objects, a 36-foot-long historic model of the Danube Island, a food cart, as well as recent photographic and film works by artists Klaus Pichler, Elodie Grethen, and Dariusz Kowalski are on display. We meet at 3. p.m. at the entrance of the Wien Museum, Karlsplatz 8, 1040 Wien. On the first Sunday of every month, admission to the Wien Museum’s special exhibitions is free. After visiting the Exhibition we will have a drink together in a café nearby.

Let’s meet and discuss John Updike's Rabbit, Run, the first in his series of four novels following the life, hopes, and disappointments of former local basketball star, Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom, as he fitfully confronts and evades adulthood.
