Science Meets Mindfulness – From Anger to Compassion
**Pause. Sense. Feel. Transform.**
**Anger, rage, and frustration are part of being human. Yet when left unchecked, they can hijack our nervous system, cloud communication, and strain our relationships.**
**This two-part experiential workshop series offers a grounded, science based path to meeting anger with awareness; and transforming it into clarity, empathy, and compassion.**
**Blending neuroscience, mindfulness practices, embodied movement, and mindful communication tools, we explore how anger affects the body and brain; and how it can become a powerful gateway to self understanding and deeper connection with others.**
**Through guided meditation, reflective journaling, gentle movement, visualisation, pair and group exercises, you’ll learn how to rechannel stress, regulate your nervous system, and engage with conflict in a more conscious and compassionate way.**
**Part 1: Rechanneling Stress and Understanding Our Needs**
**We all experience anger and frustration, when we feel disrespected, unheard, or blocked from reaching our goals. These emotions can feel overwhelming and have a strong impact on our nervous system and well-being. How can we navigate these moments without being overtaken by them?**
**In this first workshop, we focus on understanding anger from the inside out. We explore how emotional hijacking and chronic stress work in the brain and body, and how our internal narratives and unmet needs fuel reactive patterns. With curiosity**
**and compassion, we begin to transform anger into self-awareness and self-care.**
**You’ll explore:**
**● The neuroscience of anger, rage, stress response, and emotional hijacking**
**● How bodily sensations and internal narratives shape anger**
**● Identifying the feelings and unmet needs behind frustration**
**● How to rechannel anger through breath, visualisation, and gentle movement**
**● Using mindful self-talk and mantras to express needs**
**● Cultivating self-compassion as a foundation for clarity and regulation**
**The Mindful BAse x Villa Vida**
**Where science meets mindfulness – for awareness, connection, and community.**
**At The Mindful BAse, we believe that mindfulness is not only a personal practice, but also a powerful way to strengthen relationships, communities, and our connection with our environment. Founded in Vienna in 2025, our mission is simple: to bring people together,**
**foster well-being, and cultivate a community rooted in awareness, kindness, compassion and**
**respect.**
**Through our collaboration with Villa Vida, we are excited to present a series of science-based mindfulness workshops designed to encourage meaningful dialogue, nurture learning and reflection for supporting the local queer community. We create spaces where**
**ancient practices meet modern insights, offering sessions that combine yoga, meditation, neuroscience, communication tools in a safe, inclusive and inspiring space. Each workshop invites you to slow down, connect, and learn practical ways to care for yourself and others – grounded in both science and lived experience.**
**All identities, bodies, and levels of experience are welcome.**

Most participants come with romantic or dating curiosity, but friendship, community, and good conversation are also very welcome outcomes.
### How Queer Speed Dating Works

Workshops with Joe Bill
Joe Bill – last time, all of his workshops were sold out within a day – so be quick! We are offering a variety of topics and lengths with him. Try out his famous "The Bat" format, find a new duo partner, and learn about curiosity and suspicion.
**APR 17 The BAT - 6h Format Workshop**
In this workshop I will take you through the experience of one of my signature formats, The Bat, which is essentially a longform improv piece that players play with their eyes closed for an audience who experiences your “theater of the mind” as they sit in a darkened theater. The Bat may contain elements of both Narrative and Freestyle long form sensibilities, and each is somewhat a unique reflection of the collective personalities of the players who perform it. It is truly a joy ride in the dark.
More Info & Registration [here](https://www.yesticket.org/event/en/the-bat-17-04-26/)
**APR 18-19 The DUO Mixer**
12h Intensive with Showcase
You will come as yourself (without a duo partner!) and after an hour or so of my observing your improvising in some scenes and exercises, I’ll pair you with another person and take you through the process of the beginning steps of Duo Play. I will watch the Duo Showcase and take notes and then on Day 2 I will give feedback. These steps will be very helpful to experience, whether you remain with the Duo partner or to begin working in another Duo going forward.
More Info & Registration [here](https://www.yesticket.org/event/en/the-duo-mixer-18-04-26/)
**APR 20 - 6 PM - Playing With Curiosity & Suspicion**
3h Workshop
The way that character might listen to their scene partner in order to find the connection and understand what the scene is about as quickly as possible is the goal of this workshop. I will show you how to listen through Curiosity and Suspicion and pay attention to the mix of Circumstances and Interpersonal words and cues.

Run+B-fast
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

TRE® technique activates this ancient wisdom within us.

Das Volk der Shipibo - Vortrag und Austausch
(This talk will be held in German)
Am 18.4. verschaffen wir uns einen Einblick in die Kultur der Shipibo aus dem peruanischen Amazonas. Sie bezeichnen sich selbst als "Dieta-Menschen“ und leben in einer tiefen Verbindung zur Natur, die sie als beseelt und geistgetragen verstehen. Sie sind vor allem durch ihren traditionellen Gebrauch von Ayahuasca bekannt, welcher jedoch nur einen kleinen Teil ihrer kulturellen Praxis darstellt.
Der Vortrag beleuchtet die Cosmovision der Shipibo sowie zentrale Elemente wie die Dieta, Meisterpflanzen und ihre traditionellen Gesänge. Auch nach der Präsentation bleibt der Raum geöffnet für gemeinsame Diskussion und Austausch.
Türen offen: 18:00 // Beginn: 18:30 Eintritt 5€\* cash only (Für Mitglieder frei. Werde ein Mitglied: [www.psychedelicsociety.at](https://www.psychedelicsociety.at/))
Sagedergasse 18, 1120 Vienna (Eingang zwischen Billa and Bipa; nicht barrierefrei)
Der Vortragende Biri Metsa verbrachte viele Jahre in Peru, lebte eng mit den Shipibo und wurde in ihre Tradition eingeweiht. Er arbeitete in verschiedenen Heilungszentren und vermittelt heute fundiertes Wissen über die traditionelle Heilkunde der Shipibo mit besonderem Fokus auf dem respektvollen Umgang mit ihrem Wissen. Sein Anliegen ist es, die Prakiten der Shipibo verständlich zu machen und ihr Potenzial für eine harmonischere Verbindung zwischen Mensch und Natur aufzuzeigen.
//We do not provide any illegal substances, nor allow their distribution or consumption at our events. Our mission is to provide high-quality information and safety guidelines about psychedelic substances.

Gespräche über Spiritualität, Seele, Sinn, Stille und ein erfülltes Leben
Jenseits des Oberflächlichen
**Bist du es leid, dich nur über das Wetter oder Belanglosigkeiten zu unterhalten?**
**Wünschst du dir Gespräche, die inspirieren und wirklich etwas in dir bewegen?**
Dann lade ich dich herzlich zu den nächsten „Spirituellen Gesprächen“ ein – einer zweistündigen Zusammenkunft für alle, die auf der Suche nach Antworten, Orientierung sowie tieferem Sinn und Erfüllung im Leben sind – und dabei auch Gleichgesinnte kennenlernen möchten, aus denen vielleicht sogar neue Freundschaften entstehen.
Entdecke und erlebe, wie du im Jetzt leben kannst – jenseits der begrenzenden Wahrnehmung der fünf Sinne und des Denkens – um ein erfülltes, sinnvolles und spirituelles Leben zu führen.
Wir teilen Einsichten und Impulse, die dir helfen können, ein sinnerfülltes Leben zu führen.
Diese Gespräche basieren auf keiner bestimmten spirituellen oder religiösen Richtung.
Ich bin **Dieter Langenecker**, ein spiritueller Begleiter und Moderator für tiefgründige Gespräche.
Seit vielen Jahren unterstütze ich Menschen dabei, ihren eigenen Weg zu finden, innere Klarheit zu gewinnen und ein Leben zu gestalten, das sie wirklich erfüllt.
Schau' dir dazu dieses kurze **[Video](https://youtu.be/_BN4Ch42EUk)** an.
Ein Nachmittag für **tiefe Gespräche**, **Offenheit** und **echte Verbindung**.
Lass dich sich inspirieren, begegne Gleichgesinnten und genieße eine herzliche Atmosphäre.
Für **Kaffee, Tee, Gebäck und Getränke** ist gesorgt.
**Beitrag:** € 15,- pro Person (zur Deckung der Kosten für Kaffee/Tee, gesunde Süßigkeiten und die Raummiete)
Teilnehmer aus verschiedenen Meetup-Gruppen kommen zusammen — wobei die Gesamtgruppe bewusst klein gehalten wird (max 15 Personen).
Ich freue mich auf dich.
