Tango Fundamentals 1
There's something about tango that gets under your skin.
You watched it, or tried it once, and something in you probably felt really good. Because tango is connetion in the present moment.
Tango Fundamentals 1 is a structured 6-week course designed to take your tango journey through the basic steps and figures of Argentine tango. This is not just about copying moves - but rather actually understanding how tango works. The connection, the lead and follow, the conversation between two people through movement.
By the end of these six weeks, you'll understand the basic concepts of tango, the etiquette of milongas, how to invite someone to dance - and you'll actually be able to dance.
**What's included:**
* 6 weekly classes - every Monday, 75 minutes each
* Bonus 4 online evenings - stretching, strength, technique and mindfulness to support your body and focus in your Tango Journey
* 1 Practica at the end - a real social dance to put it all together
**Investment:** โฌ165 full price, โฌ125 for students. There is an option for classes without an online offer. Just write me a message.
Single class: โฌ28 / student โฌ22
**This is for you if:**
* You've tried tango once and want to go deeper
* You've always wanted to learn but never knew where to start
* You want a real foundation, not just a one-off workshop
Spots are limited - this is a small group, so everyone gets proper attention.

PCE Philosophic Conversation in English
PCE - "Philosophic Conversation in English" is a discussion event in English language which focuses on psychology, philosophy, self-consciousness and self-realization. The conversation is based on inclusive discussion rules. We will meet at at a restaurant where we will have a private room exclusively reserved for our event.
At the beginning we will choose the two topics to discuss. Everybody can suggest a topic. Afterwards we will vote what topics to discuss. The person who suggests a winning topic will start the discussion by explaining his/her idea.
Afterwards everybody gets his/her chance to make a statement. But you can also decide to remain silent and only listen, if you prefer that. We have a time limit for statements, so that everybody has enough time to speak. It is not allowed to interrupt somebody who is speaking. After a statement everybody can ask a question and the speaker will answer.
After the first part there will be a 15 minutes break before we start the second part.
Everybody is welcome to our event: We are interested in your thoughts and opinions! It is no problem if you arrive late and you can also leave whenever you want.
Please don't bring pets to this event because the room is usually very crowded. Please make sure to register for the event to secure your seat!

**6:45 PM** Talks

* Rainer: Progress Update: Empire x Survivor
* Max: progress update: Andale! - automated tests and juice
If you want to give a talk at a future event, get in touch! Anything related to Godot or game dev in general is fair game: your current project, a specific issue or bug you need help with, a cool feature or design you want to highlight or general processes, tools and tips.
**8:00 PM** Open space: Enjoy a drink, discuss tonight's topics, meet new people, share insights or show your games until 9:00 PM (and often longer)

Improving application design with std::variant and templates
๐ข Main event starts at 18:30 CET
โจ **Robert Schimkowitsch**'s test run for his presentation at ACCU on Sea!
In this talk, we explore combining template techniques with std::variant. The result? Extensible code with less boilerplate.
We cover the basics of the subject area, then introduce an example inspired by my own work experience. As we dive into some key code snippets essential to the overall design, we identify problems, then figure out how to solve them. On this journey, we learn about breaking dependencies, ergonomic use of distinct data types and replacing duplicate code with a single implementation. We look at template instantiations to visualize and understand both the compile-time and run-time aspects of our code. Finally, we evaluate the code design impact of our changes, what benefits they gave us, and what alternative options we could have used instead.
After this talk, you will have a firm grasp on techniques that make std::variant even more useful in practice. This will give you more options for your next application subsystem design. You do not need prior knowledge of either std::variant or writing template code.
๐ช We appreciate any **voluntary donations** on-site.
โฑ๏ธ Arrive early for pre-socializingโsimple snacks and drinks will be provided.
๐ After the event, we will relocate to a pizzeria (at your own expense).

DAY DJ: Ruby Nyaoro
Day DJ is a weekly series at Villa Vida Cafรฉ. Each Friday, local DJs take over the space and share their sound in a daytime setting. The focus is on new talent, experimentation, and community.
This is a place to build sets, try ideas, and connect through music.
The format is open and relaxed. You can come to listen, work, meet people, or stay for the full set. The aim is to create a consistent platform where DJs grow their practice and support each other.
**DJ Ruby Nyaoro**
DJ Ruby Nyaoro brings a groove-driven selection rooted in rhythm and flow. Expect a mix of house music, deep house, Afro house, Afro tech, and tech house โ blending funky elements with steady, danceable energy. The focus is less on strict genre lines and more on creating a cohesive atmosphere that moves the room.
DJs have played a central role in queer culture. In spaces where queer people were excluded, DJs created environments where identity and expression could exist. Through sound, they shaped rooms, built connections, and guided shared experiences.
Many of the sounds and practices that define nightlife today grew out of queer spaces. House, disco, and club culture were shaped by queer communities, especially Black and Latinx scenes.
Day DJ continues this history by creating space for new voices and keeping this culture active.
**Participate as a DAY DJ**

Midsummer!- The Wiccan Fellowship Wheel of the Year Open Ritual!
**In Wicca and other Neo-Pagan traditions the "Wheel of the Year" is central: Eight yearly festivals that echo the seasonal rites of our ancestors.**
**This month's celebration is MIDSUMMER!**
**Midsummer**, also known as **Litha**, is the radiant crown of the solar yearโthe longest day and the height of light. The sun stands at its zenith, spilling golden power across the land, and nature pulses with abundance, vitality, and color. In Wiccan tradition, this is a time of **honoring the peak of life and energy**, when the God is in his full power, and the Goddess, heavy with the promise of harvest, blesses the earth with fullness.
Though the light is strong, Midsummer is also a time of **turning**โa sacred pause before the descent begins. From this point onward, the days slowly shorten, and we are reminded that even the brightest fire contains the seed of transformation. The bonfires of Litha call us to celebrate life, to dance and feast, to honor love, passion, and the light within ourselves and the world. It is a time for magic, for communion with the fae and nature spirits, and for affirming joy, strength, and protection.
As we stand at the zenith of the sunโs path, we are invited to shine boldly, to embrace our power, and to offer our light in service of what is good, true, and beautiful. ๐๐ฅ๐ป
**TICKETS: You can pay cash at the door (EUR 20) or buy a ticket online HERE (EUR 15):**
**[https://www.eventbrite.com/e/fellowship-of-the-western-mysteries-open-ritual-tickets-1979108345337?aff=erelexpmlt](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/fellowship-of-the-western-mysteries-open-ritual-tickets-1979108345337?aff=erelexpmlt)**
**(Online tickets are non-refundable.)**
**The event and the ritual will be held in English** unless otherwise noted. We sometimes do have other groups host rituals, and sometimes they work in other languages. If that is the case it will be noted here.
**Doors open at 19:30**. Ritual talk-through will start at 20:00 or so and the ritual will start soon after the talk-through. Ritual length varies but the ritual itself should be over by 21:30 to 22:00. Afterwords there will be time for socializing and merrymaking, so plan to stay longer if you're feeling social and you can. If not of course you can go when you wish. :-) There is an open bar on-site. :-)
**Attire:** Street clothes are fine but try to come dressed as much as possible in a single colour- black and white are best. If you have ritual attire (robes etc.) and would like to wear them, feel free.
Beginners and experienced practioners alike, as well as the merely curious are welcomed. We will explain everything you need to do before the ritual- it's possible (and completely fine) to jump right in.
The environment is friendly and welcoming and newcomers are welcomed! We do a full talk-through before the ritual, explain what the ritual is about and what everyone needs to know and understand, and we'll guide you through the whole thing, so there is really no problem coming if you have no idea what to expect.
Run in partnership with our friends at The Hexen/Heiden Stammtisch [Feuerkreise.at](https://feuerkreise.at/forum/index.php)/ [https://www.facebook.com/groups/271329456233561](https://www.facebook.com/groups/271329456233561).

Blue Zone Dinner โ The Long Table: When Strangers Become Family
Across the world, different cultures have the same word for the same sacred thing.
In the Arab world, it's ***sufra*** โ the spread that holds the room.
Across Spain and Latin America, ***sobremesa*** โ the hours no one wants to leave the table.
In Turkey and the Eastern Mediterranean, ***keyif*** โ unhurried pleasure (the Greeks call it *kefi*, same ancient root).
Across Italy and the Lusophone world โ Portugal, Brazil, Mozambique โ ***convivio*** โ living together through the meal.
In Southern Africa, ***ubuntu*** โ "I am because we are."
In Okinawa, ***moai*** โ the lifelong circle that eats, walks, and grows old together.
Across Malaysia and Indonesia, ***makan-makan*** โ the easy, communal feast.
In the Sikh tradition across South Asia, ***langar*** โ where every person eats as equal, seated on the same floor.
Eight cultures. Eight words. One truth: **the long table, the slow meal, the people who start as strangers and end as family.**
The Blue Zones research โ Dan Buettner's work on the five places where humans live longest and healthiest (Okinawa, Sardinia, Ikaria, Nicoya, Loma Linda) โ keeps pointing back to this. Not the recipe. The table. The presence. The time.
So let's do it.
**What:** One long table. Food we cook together. Hours of real conversation โ emotions, relationships, philosophy, and yes, politics โ not as sides, but as the questions we all carry. Here, what usually divides a room becomes the ground we meet on.
**What we leave behind:** Phones. All digital devices. None of the cultures we're honouring tonight needed them at the table โ and the Blue Zones research is unambiguous: real longevity, real connection, real nervous-system repair happens only where we are not being scrolled into a loop.
**What we bring:** Ourselves. Our culture. Whatever we're carrying. Whatever we want to share.
**Open to everyone:** Whether your grandmother cooked in Beirut, Madrid, Istanbul, Naples, Johannesburg, Okinawa, Jakarta, or Amritsar โ or nowhere at all โ you belong at this table. The whole point is that nobody's culture runs the room. Every tradition sits beside every other.
**Before the event:** A poll goes out, so we choose the menu together.
**Now:** I'm looking for the right location โ outdoors if possible, somewhere near Vienna. A garden, a terrace, a piece of land with trees and sky. If you have a spot or know one, message me. This is ours to build.
Come as you are. Stay as long as it takes.
*A small ritual before the ritual: a short call beforehand, 10 to 15 minutes. Not to screen you โ to meet you. Every culture at this table starts a meal with a greeting. Ours starts here.*
