**🌬️ Breathwork – Geführte meditative Reise** **Adresse:** Bella Volen Galerie, Landesgerichtsstraße 6, Wien 1010 **Start um 19 Uhr** **Ankommen zwischen** 18:40 und 18:55 Breathwork ist eine Reise nach innen – eine Begegnung mit dem Unbewussten, getragen und geführt durch den Atem. In unserem oft hektischen Alltag fällt es uns nicht immer leicht, Abstand zu gewinnen und das größere Bild zu erkennen. Umso erstaunlicher ist es, wie schnell sich unsere innere Wahrnehmung verändern kann, wenn wir uns bewusst mit unserem Atem verbinden. Die Einladung an Sie besteht darin, sich vertrauensvoll dem Atem hinzugeben und sich für neue Erfahrungen, Erkenntnisse und innere Räume zu öffnen. Es ist Ihre ganz persönliche Reise. Begleitet von Musik und der ruhigen Stimme von Christian findet die Session in einem geschützten, abgedunkelten Raum statt. Die Fenster sind mit Vorhängen bedeckt, sodass Sie ungestört loslassen und ganz bei sich ankommen können. Wissenschaftliche Studien zeigen, dass bewusste Atemtechniken den Vagusnerv aktivieren, Stresshormone reduzieren sowie Herzfrequenz und Blutdruck positiv beeinflussen können. Breathwork kann dabei helfen, emotionale Spannungen zu lösen, das Nervensystem zu beruhigen und einen Zustand tiefer Entspannung, Klarheit und innerer Präsenz zu fördern. Viele Menschen erleben Breathwork als eine heilsame Erfahrung, bei der festgefahrene Emotionen in Bewegung kommen, neue Einsichten entstehen und eine tiefere Verbindung zu sich selbst spürbar wird. Es kann ein Raum entstehen für innere Ruhe, Selbstvertrauen, Verbundenheit und die eigene innere Weisheit. ✨ Loslassen 💙 Nervensystem beruhigen ✨ Innere Klarheit 🌱 Erdung 🌬️ Bewusstes Atmen 🤍 Verbundenheit **Für die Session ist bereits alles vorbereitet:** Für die Session ist bereits alles vorbereitet: Matten, Decken, Kissen und Getränke stehen zur Verfügung. **Bringen Sie lediglich bequeme Kleidung mit.** Wenn Sie möchten, können Sie zusätzlich **eine Augenmaske** oder **ein Tuch zum Abdecken der Augen** mitbringen. Wir freuen uns darauf, Sie auf dieser besonderen Reise zu begleiten. **Christian & Bella Volen Galerie**

Du wirst in diesem lockeren Kunstgeschichte Kurs direkt vor den Originalen Meisterwerken im Kunsthistorischen Museum Wien einen Überblick über die wichtigsten Epochen der Kunstgeschichte von der Kunst des Mittelalters bis ins 18. Jahrhundert bekommen und wirst fortan Kunst in allen Ausstellungen anders sehen und verstehen und Zusammenhänge besser erkennen können. Jede Woche wenden wir uns einer Epoche zu und einem der wichtigsten Werke von einem der bedeutendsten Künstler im Kunsthistorischen Museum. Vorkenntnisse sind nicht erforderlich, der Kurs ist aber auch für Fortgeschrittene gut besuchbar. Alles wird in lockerem Beisammensein vor den Bildern stattfinden, anschließend stehen das wunderschöne Café in der Kuppelhalle im Museum und die vielen netten Lokale in nächster Nähe für weiteres Beisammensein zur Verfügung und natürlich kann man auch einfach noch weiter alleine oder mit alten und den neuen Bekannten sich selbständig im Museum noch mehr anschauen. Am Donnerstag ist das Kunsthistorische Museum immer bis 21 Uhr geöffnet! Wir freuen uns auf dich! Der Kurs wird geführt von: Dr. Kolja Kramer, Kunsthistoriker

"Über visuelle Irritationen und die Ästhetik des Fehlerhaften in der Kunst" Im Bereich der visuellen Medien versteht man unter "Bildstörung" versehentlich mitkommunizierte Informationen\, die unerwünschte Veränderungen im übertragenen Signal verursachen\. In der Ausstellung in Kooperation mit NÖDOK \| ON TOUR greifen Kunstschaffende optische Effekte und Täuschungen gezielt auf und entwickeln sie in ihren Arbeiten weiter\. In einer zufälligen Bildstörung oder Sinnestäuschung ist mitunter das zu beobachten\, was sonst unsichtbar bleibt\.

In the exhibition\, organised in collaboration with NÖDOK \| ON TOUR\, artists deliberately engage with optical effects and illusions and develop them further in their works\. It is sometimes in a random visual glitch or optical illusion that we can observe what otherwise remains invisible\.
