OSHO Active Meditation Day
**OSHO Active Meditation Day**

## OSHO Active Meditation Day – Friday Edition
**Freitag\, 20\. März \| 15:30–21:00**
**Vienna Buddha Field**
15 € pro Meditation \| 35 € für den ganzen Tag \(Zahlung vor Ort\)

Die Energie unserer letzten Treffen war einfach magisch. Dieser besondere Freitagstermin ist nicht nur ein einfacher „Termin“ im Kalender – er entstand direkt aus euren Wünschen, den Gesprächen in unseren Sharing-Runden und der wachsenden Sehnsucht unserer Community, gemeinsam tiefer zu gehen.
Ich habe einen speziellen Ablauf vom Nachmittag bis in den Abend kreiert, um den Ballast der Woche abzuschütteln und mit einem klaren Herzen und einem stillen Geist ins Wochenende zu starten.
Der perfekte Weg, um den inneren Käfig zu sprengen und den Tag in totaler Präsenz zu beginnen.
### Die volle Reise (Optionaler Start am Morgen)
Für alle, die den gesamten Tag ihrem inneren Prozess widmen möchten: **07:00 – OSHO Dynamic Meditation** geleitet von **Vadano**. Der perfekte Weg, um den Panzer zu sprengen und den Tag in totaler Präsenz zu beginnen.
### Das Programm am Nachmittag
**15:30 – OSHO Gibberish Meditation™** Der „mentale Staubsauger“. Eine kraftvolle, kathartische Technik, um alles auszudrücken, was wir in der Gesellschaft normalerweise unterdrücken. Wir nutzen Nonsens-Laute, um den logischen Verstand zu umgehen. *Wirf den Lärm raus, finde die Stille.*
**17:15 – OSHO Laughing Drums Celebration™** Eine tribale Reise zurück zu unserem ursprünglichsten Rhythmus: dem Herzschlag der Mutter. Wir bewegen uns durch den ganzen Körper, tanzen und „frieren“ in plötzliche Bewusstheit ein. *Lass die Masken fallen, werde natürlich.*
**18:30 – Gemeinsames Abendessen (Potluck)** Zeit für Herz-zu-Herz-Begegnungen und Stärkung. Bitte bringe eine kleine vegetarische Speise oder einen Snack für unser gemeinsames Buffet mit.
**19:30 – OSHO Gourishankar Meditation™ & Sharing** Eine Abendmeditation, die durch eine spezielle Atemtechnik ein natürliches „High“ erzeugt (wie auf dem Gipfel des Mt. Everest). Durch sanftes Schauen und spontane Bewegung (Latihan) verschmelzen wir mit der Nacht. Wir schließen den Tag mit einer kurzen Sharing-Runde ab.
**21:00 – Ende**
### 
### Details
* **Mitzubringen:** Wasserflasche, bequeme Kleidung (Zwiebelprinzip ist gut) und dein Beitrag zum Potluck.
* **Leitung:** Yogi Levy (Anleitung auf Englisch).
* **Level:** Offen für alle – vom Anfänger bis zum erfahrenen Meditierer.
**Anmeldung** Aufgrund der hohen Nachfrage und der begrenzten Plätze empfehlen wir eine frühzeitige Anmeldung. Du kannst an einzelnen Meditationen teilnehmen oder das gesamte Nachmittagsprogramm erleben.

About OpenClaw
Forget simple Q&A. We are entering the era of proactive AI.
OpenClaw (formerly ClawdBot) is an open source framework that closes the gap between generative AI and real operational execution. AI agents operate inside everyday messengers such as Telegram or WhatsApp and autonomously perform complex business workflows.
This event provides a deep dive into the architecture, capabilities, risks, and future implications of agentic systems that will fundamentally reshape how companies operate.

This marks the transition from passive tools to operational AI agents.

Spring Equinox- 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 SPRING EQUINOX!**
The **Spring Equinox**, also known as **Ostara**, is a celebration of perfect balance—when day and night stand in equal measure before the light begins to overcome the dark. In Wiccan tradition, this is a moment of potent harmony, a sacred pause between the inward rest of winter and the outward blossoming of spring. Nature is stirring with fresh vitality: buds are breaking open, the air carries warmth, and the pulse of life quickens all around us.
Ostara honors the **Goddess in her maiden form**, radiant with promise and possibility, and the **God as a young, green force**, full of vigor and life. Together they dance the cycle of creation. This sabbat is a time of renewal, planting seeds (both literal and spiritual), and committing to the intentions we want to bring to fruition in the months ahead. It’s a celebration of fertility, creativity, and joyful emergence—when we align ourselves with nature’s rhythm and step forward into growth, purpose, and enchantment. 🌸🐣🌿
**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-1979108351355?aff=erelexpmlt](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/fellowship-of-the-western-mysteries-open-ritual-tickets-1979108351355?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).

Hike to Troppbergwarte Sun 22.03.2026
Hi everyone!
On **Sunday, March 22nd**, 2026, I am planning a long hike to the Troppbergwarte in the Wienerwald. The Troppbergwarte (542m) is a publicly accessible lookout tower. It’s a bit scary as you can see trough the steps down. If more than 10 people want to go to the lookout, then we have to form two groups, because a maximum of 10 people are allowed at the same time and we don't want to tear down the lookout tower. The hiking route will start at Rekawinkel train station and leads through slightly hilly forest in the Wienerwald and will end at the train station in Purkersdorf.
**Meeting Point & Travel**
We will meet at **Wien-Westbahnhof train station at 08:40 am at the latest** near the Infopoint. We will go to platform 4 at 8:45 am There is ticketmachine nearby and plenty of seats (see also the photo down below). The train leaves at 8:56 am at platform 4. If it’s better for you, you can also get on the train at another station. Then we meet altogether at Rekawinkel train station at 9:31 am. As Rekawinkel train station is not so far from Vienna a group ticket does not pay off. So **everyone has to buy their own ticket to Rekawinkel train station.**
**Hike Details**
Duration: approx. **6,5 hours** (walking time and breaks)
Distance: approx. **17km**
Elevation: **530 m up / 650 m down**
Difficulty: **Technically easy**, but **basic fitness required**
Since we will not stop at any restaurant, everyone has to bring their own snack. We will make a few breaks for eating and drinking. A long 30 break minute is planed after three hours at about 12:30 at the lookout tower. Be aware, that there are no public toiletts on the way. Please be aware that there are no public toilets on the entire hiking route. So if you need to answer the call of nature and you think you have found a suitable spot, the group will advance for a few minutes and then wait for you or you can use the breaks to make your way into the forest. The expected end of the hike is at about 4 pm at Purkersdorf Zentrum train station, where there is also a ticket vending machine. There are trains bound to Wien Westbahnhof every 10 to 20 minutes.
More information about the trail: [https://www.bergfex.at/sommer/niederoesterreich/touren/wanderung/390122,rekawinkel--troppberg--hochramalpe--purkersdorf/](https://www.bergfex.at/sommer/niederoesterreich/touren/wanderung/390122,rekawinkel--troppberg--hochramalpe--purkersdorf/)
**Group Pace & Staying Togehter**
We will walk at a comfortable group pace and take short breaks when needed.
**Practical notes**
I will send you a weather update on Thursday March 19th evening to everyone who is registered.
**Please bring:**
* Sturdy hiking shoes
* Layered clothing
* At least 1,5 liter of water
* Your own snacks (no restaurant stop is planned)
**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.
Looking forward to seeing you on the trail!

Psychedelic Cinema - Trip of Compassion
🎬 It’s time again for a movie night - Trip of Compassion
Join us on the 21st of March for an intimate and thought-provoking screening of Trip of Compassion, a powerful documentary following PTSD survivors in Israel as they undergo an innovative MDMA assisted therapy. The film offers a rare, deeply human look at healing, courage, and the possibility of renewed hope.https://www.ttv.co.il/trip-of-compassion
The event will take place in our Homebase, Sagedergasse 18, 1120 Vienna (Entrance is in between Billa and Bipa; not barrier-free)
🍄 Doors are open at 6:00 pm
🍄 Screening Starts at 6:30 pm
🍄 Entry 7€\* cash only / Members free entry (Become a member: www.psychedelicsociety.at)
So lovely people, bring your friends and let’s watch this movie together. We’ll prepare some snacks, popcorn and drinks.
After the movie we open the space to discuss some ideas the movie inspired, accompanied by some music. Feel free to stay and connect to some likeminded people.
Note:
The movie portrays the healing process of individuals who went through severe trauma, set in a region of the world that regularly experiences terror and violence. It's content and setting, especially due to the recent eruption of conflicts in the region, may be disturbing and/or polarizing. Viewer discretion is advised.
By screening this film, we do not aim to present a comprehensive view of the region or to endorse any state or political agenda. Rather, we wish to open a space for critical reflection on trauma, healing, and the broader historical and institutional contexts in which scientific research and human suffering are embedded. This documentary presents only one limited perspective. Many other realities and cultural experiences within the region remain outside its scope.
// Disclaimer
We do not provide any illegal substances, nor do we allow for the distribution or consumption at our events. Please keep that in mind to support us. Our only concern is to provide high-quality information and safety guidelines about psychedelic substances.
\*If money is the only reason you cannot come, let us know and we will find a way

Sunday Screenings in the Living Room
Weekly screenings from a large archive of many of the most significant, yet seldom seen and rarely accessible cinematic masterpieces in the history of film - from its earliest beginnings to the present day. Screenings are in original language, if English, or original language with English subtitles.
Films are selected democratically on the inspiration of a brief pre-screening discussion. The selected title is typically a "neglected gem" that most of us discover together for the first time. Individual taste is not a criterion and all participants are expected to put the interests of the group as a whole above personal preference or prejudice. In this sense, the emphasis is on openness, exploration, and surprise. Each screening is followed by an in-depth group discussion, led and moderated by the curator.
WARNNG: FilmStory is not just about watching movies! Rather, it's a socially responsible, intellectual engagement, involving an organic approach to group study of film language, philosophy, art, history, politics, and technology. In this sense, the film is always merely the current highlight in an explorative, ongoing group discussion.
**FilmStory** is a members-only series that involves a closely knit community of cinephiles. Events take place every Sunday in a comfortable, private setting with limited capacity. Participation is reserved primarily for regular members, but we're always ready to make new friends!
Non-regular members may request to meet the community and, upon acceptance as a "new joiner," are welcome to participate in one event, according to space availability. New joiners are asked to make a €6 member dues contribution in advance of the requested date. New members receive a message of confirmation and the address of the Living Room in 1080 Vienna upon receipt of their dues contribution.
**FilmStory** is presented and hosted by **[KulturSalon Wien](https://www.meetup.com/kultursalon-wien/)**.

From Web Forms to Web Components - Burton Smith
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
**Abstract**
Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively.
This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way.
