If you would like to join please bring artificial turf shoes (like the ones for indoor turf) and shin pads (not mandatory but definitely recommendable). All I ask is that you come with a good mood, be respectful to everyone, and pay online using the link below. [FOOTxp Thursday Night Football](https://footballexperiences.net/kickaball/p/thursdaynightfootball/) Other methods for payments. **Bank Transfer**: Sorin-Florian Brici AT27 2011 1829 5564 7001 **\* [Revolut](https://revolut.me/brici)** \- Recommended **\* [Wise](https://wise.com/pay/me/sorinb256)** \- Also recommended **\* [Paypal](https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/sorinSocial)** \- Please use non\-Commercial product We play light: no sliding, hard tackling, fighting, screaming, & hopefully no injuries. We need to respect current regulations in Vienna, Austria. The main priorities are to have fun and being safe. The drinks are relatively free after the game in the local pub, served to those who have shown fantastic football fair-play skills. We’ll confirm the location, the pitches, and the dressing room numbers via our dedicated Football WhatsApp group. Keep an eye out for the group messages. See you all soon.

If someone is talking bad, complaining, insulting someone, fouling on purpose or committing the usual football shenanigans, please let the organizers know. Measures will be taken, we assure you. Any misbehavior on your part, such as responding in an obscene way, fighting, or leaving the pitch is not a practical and diplomatic way of resolving the issues (it tends to create more tension and cause more problems). Let’s be respectful and mature and try to enjoy the game we all love. That’s why we’re all here. Get to know people from all over the world and have fun! Thank you. Sorin

Hi everyone! On **Saturday, May 02, 2026**, I’m planning a beautiful loop hike around the **Perchtoldsdorfer Heide**, one of the most scenic nature areas on the southern edge of Vienna. This route takes us through a protected **nature reserve** with open landscapes, gentle hills, and wide views towards Vienna and the Wienerwald. In spring, the area is especially pleasant, with fresh greenery and a peaceful atmosphere. It’s a varied hike combining forest paths, meadows, and panoramic viewpoints. **Highlights** * 🌿 **Walking through the beautiful Perchtoldsdorfer Heide Nature Reserve** * 🌄 **Panoramic views over Vienna and the Wienerwald** 📍**Meeting Point** **Rodaun – Tram 60 Terminus** **09:00 a.m.** Please arrive a few minutes early so we can start calmly together. **Hike Details** **Duration:** approx. **5.5 hours** (pure walking time) **Distance:** approx. **15 km** (depending on small variations) **Elevation:** approx. **500 m ascent** **Difficulty:** Easy (technically), requires basic fitness **Pace:** Comfortable and social, with regular short breaks This hike is ideal if you would like a **moderate workout** without technical difficulty. The trails are well marked and mostly easy, but you should feel comfortable walking for several hours. More information about the route: [https://www.wienerwald.info/touren/rundwanderung-um-die-perchtoldsdorfer-heide](https://www.wienerwald.info/touren/rundwanderung-um-die-perchtoldsdorfer-heide) **What to Bring** 🥪 Snacks and drinks (at least 1.5 liters of water) 🥾 Sturdy hiking shoes 🌧️ Basic rain protection 🧢 Sun protection (hat, sunscreen, sunglasses) Please note: There are no public toilets on the trail itself. **Disclaimer** This is a free, private leisure activity.

​Collaborative improv & storytelling for social media. This event is a collaboration between [Social Rising](https://luma.com/socialrising) & [Social Adventures](https://luma.com/socialadventures) and will be announced on both channels. ​Grab your camera, microphone(s), and other equipment you already have, (re-)start your CapCut subscription, and let's meet to create content. We'll meet outside in a park, which should allow us to both have enough space to create content with each other but also find other people to interact with (don't record without approval!). ​Important: If you don't want to be in front of the camera, then don't join. You don't have to have social media, though. ​After we meet, we first get to know each other and then create stories, improve them, record them for social media, edit them right there, and post them. ​What do you need? * ​Motivation, and ideas for stories for social media * ​A mobile phone or camera * ​All equipment you have at home for filming: External/bluetooth microphones, prop, ... * ​Editing software like CapCut or Filmora directly on your phone. ​​The event starts at 14:00 and lasts up to 2 hours. ​We'll meet at Tiergarten at the following spot: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/dzXw9NXMLAjBqBUE9](https://maps.app.goo.gl/dzXw9NXMLAjBqBUE9)

A Branch of the **Social Book Club** focusing on International Cinema. I find films based on the taste profile of the cinephiles that regularly attend. We the Lovely Folks of the **Saturday Film Club, are back for the 29th Edition** this Saturday! 🎬🌿🕊️ ☀️ We start at **18:30** hrs. Films chosen for this week are: 🎥 **Either one of these two by Claire Denis — we’ll decide together:** **1\. Chocolat** (1988) A quiet, observant story set in colonial Cameroon. Memory, power, race, and distance — all told with restraint and subtle tension. Slow, reflective, and deeply human. IMDb: 6.8/10 – Runtime: 1h 45m. **OR** **2\. Beau Travail** (1999) A hypnotic, physical film set in the French Foreign Legion. Ritual, masculinity, jealousy, and unspoken desire unfold through movement and silence. Minimal dialogue, maximum atmosphere. IMDb: 7.3/10 – Runtime: 1h 32m. 🍽️ Post Meetup Food at **China Zentrum Stiegengasse!** 😁😁 If you just joined, please fill up this survey so we can better tailor the films we show. [https://forms.gle/juPwhehSV2NosLee9](https://forms.gle/juPwhehSV2NosLee9) **PS -** I can guarantee comfortable seating for 15 people. People in the waitlist can show up as well, because a lot of people sign up but don't show up. The event takes place at the Social Welfare organization called **MUT**. It is an organisation that works on social issues such as Emergency & Homeless Assistance, Food Rescue and Environment Protection. MUT is a non profit organization that provides us with the space to host the event. A small donation towards their cause helps them a lot.

Hi everyone, On **Sunday, May 3rd.**, I are plan a hike in the **Erlaufschlucht** (Erlauf Gorge). This gorge is one of the most impressive gorges in Lower Austria (see a few photos from below). In principle, the path is easy. At the beginning there are stairs (see photo below). Physically, it is an easy hike as there are only a few meters of altitude. In the gorge we will walk very slowly because there is a lot to see and we will take many small breaks. At the end of the gorge we will take a lunch break at about 12 o'clock on the banks of the Erlauf. Then we will visit the freely accessible **Schauboden camp cemetery**, a cemetery of prisoners of war from the Second World War. After we have visited the Türkensturz (a different Türkensturz than on the last hike) we take a second longer lunch break at the Martinskirche at about 2pm. At about 15:30h we will be back at Purgstall/Erlauf trainstation and drive together to Vienna. **Meeting Point & Travel** 📍 **Meeting point:** Wien WESTBAHNHOF at the **ticket machine next to the ÖBB Infopoint** (same level where the trains leave, see photo below). **Anyone who wants to have a group ticket (Einfach-Raus-Ticket) has to be at the meeting point at 7:50am.** People who don't need a group ticket or buy their ticket themselves should be at the meeting point at 8:05am. We will take the 08:18 am train to Pöchlarn trainsation and change to a local train to Purgstall/Erlauf trainstation. The expected arrival in Purgstall is 10:19h. So be aware, it is a tow hours trip. If the train to the transfer station in Pöchlarn is delayed, then we have to wait about 1 hour for the next connecting train. We could take a short walk in Pöchlarn during this time. The return trip is expected to be at 15:39h. The trains run every hour. * **Distance:** approx. 15 km * **Elevation:** approx. 140 m ascent * **Walking time:** approx. 5 hours 🥪 We don’t plan to stop at huts or restaurants during the hike, so please bring your own snacks and drinks (at least **1.5 liters of water**). 🌧️ Weather can be changeable, so **basic rain protection is recommended**. 🥾 Please wear **sturdy hiking shoes**. Some sections may be muddy, depending on the weather. Please note that **there are no public toilets on the trail itself.** 🧢 Please bring **sun protection** (hat, sunscreen, sunglasses), especially on warm or sunny days. I will send a **weather update on Friday evening** to everyone registered. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. **Important Notes** ⚠️ **Disclaimer:** As always, this is a free, private leisure activity. I’m not a certified hiking guide, and participation is at your own responsibility and risk. Looking forward to sharing this hike with you! Christian **\*General Information to the "Einfach-Raus" Group Ticket** We will use a group ticket, and it requires some coordinatin: **How it works:** It is one ticket for a group of 2–5 people. We will form these groups at the meeting point at 08:15; please be on time if you want to participate. You must travel together for both the departure and the return journey. You cannot split off and take a different train home if you are on a group ticket. **The cost:** The more people in a group, the cheaper it gets. Expect to pay between €10 and €19 per person. To be fair, we can either pay by specific group size or pool all the money and split it equally. **Cash is mandatory:** Please bring physical cash and coins. We need to collect the money before buying the tickets to make sure everyone gets their change back quickly. **Information regarding this ticket:** [https://www.oebb.at/en/tickets-kundenkarten/freizeit-urlaub/einfach-raus-ticket](https://www.oebb.at/en/tickets-kundenkarten/freizeit-urlaub/einfach-raus-ticket) If you prefer not to be tied to a group, or if you aren’t sure when you want to head back to Vienna, do not join the group ticket. Instead, buy the VOR Freizeitticket; it costs €19.90 for the day in Lower Austria. This will also be your option if you arrive too late for the group ticket or one group doesn't have enough participants for a group ticket. **Information regarding this ticket:** [https://www.vor.at/en/tickets/ticket-overview/leisure-ticket](https://www.vor.at/en/tickets/ticket-overview/leisure-ticket)

We are recruiting new group leaders for virtual men's groups! Our primary groups are outdoor movement groups, but we are launching virtual groups for the state of Ohio and beyond and the groups will move outside in the spring, creating room for men's groups, women's groups and coed groups all over the country. Read below to learn about our groups and click the links at the bottom to apply. ### **What is an Outdoor Empowerment Group?** Our Outdoor Movement & Community Empowerment Groups are simple, guided experiences designed to help people reconnect with nature, themselves, and others. We combine some form of movement (hike, walk, run, bike, yoga, workout) and meaningful conversation within a simple community circle to create a space where individuals can support each other while prioritizing mental and physical well-being. Whether you’re seeking stress relief, personal growth, or community, our groups offer everyone a unique and welcoming environment. ## **Why Join?** * **Improve Mental & Physical Well-Being** – Movement, nature, and supportive conversations reduce stress and promote balance. * **Feel Less Alone** – Build genuine connections with like-minded people in a safe, welcoming space. * **Gain Clarity & Perspective** – Step outside daily routines and into a space designed for personal growth and reflection. ## **The Ideal Group Leader** The ideal group leader * Has a born-in passion for mental health, movement, connecting with nature and building community. * Has 5 extra hours per week to dedicate to a meaningful cause for at least one year. Yes, you can leave any organization at any time and we can also ask you to leave, but we are building with legacy in mind and we need people who can commit and be ALL IN on this mission to build with us. * Is independently financially stable with the ability to volunteer with no expectation of pay. This is a deeply beautiful journey of service that all participants commit to at Speak Your Mind. * An ability to manage groups with high emotional intelligence and desire for human connection. * An ability to self-motivate and market/promote their group on Facebook and other social platforms. * Nature informed therapy or clinical therapists/psychologists a plus. ## **Our Impact**  Since launching, we have helped thousands find support, connection, and healing through our Outdoor Movement Groups. 100% of participants surveyed have reported: * A noticeable improvement in mental clarity and emotional well-being. * An increase in social connection and a sense of belonging. * Said they would return again. We believe mental health should be accessible, community-driven, and rooted in nature. Join us and take the first step toward a more connected, grounded, and supported version of yourself. ### **Why Our Groups are Donation-Based** Our Outdoor Movement Groups are made possible through a donation-based model. This approach allows us to keep our events accessible to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances, while also ensuring that we can continue expanding our reach. It’s a great way to pay it forward and support the growth of this beautiful mission! Every contribution helps us: * **Cover Essential Costs** – Donations allow us to pay essential legal, marketing, insurance, and admin costs as well as nourish the important people who run the organization. * **Grow Our Mission** – With your support, we can bring these healing experiences to thousands more people in the future and execute our long term plan to expand across the USA, affecting up to 500,000 people per year. By choosing to contribute, you’re not just leading an event—you’re helping build a mental health movement that supports long-term well-being and connection for all during a severe mental health epidemic. ## **Come Join Us!** We’d love to have you be part of this growing community of people prioritizing their mental health, movement, and connection. 🔹 **Visit Our Website to Learn More:** https://speakyourmind.men/joinusoutside 🔹 **Apply Here to Lead Your Own Group!** – https://form.jotform.com/taketimespeakyourmind/sym-group-leader-application 🔹 **Support the mission**: If you resonate with the mission and want to support, feel free to join a group before applying or donate to help us reach our goals to help more people!
