Improv-Training for Mindful Spontaneity & Creative Flow (Session in German)
This is an event for ages 16 and up. Children are not allowed to participate. We cannot guarantee age-appropriate scenes and exercises.
**Stop overthinking and start playing!** đż This session is a soft, safe space to practice being present and letting go of perfectionism. Please note: The main part of this session will be held in **German**.
**Raus aus dem Kopf, rein in den Moment!** đ Hast du das GefĂźhl, oft festzustecken oder alles perfekt machen zu wollen? Improvisationstheater ist das perfekte Training gegen Procrastination und Perfektionismus. Hier lernst du, dem ersten Impuls zu vertrauen und mit dem zu arbeiten, was gerade da ist.
**Was dich erwartet:** In einer wertschätzenden Atmosphäre nutzen wir einfache Spiele und Bewegung, um:
* đą **"Ja, genau!" zu sagen:** Impulse annehmen statt sie zu zerdenken.
* ⨠**Fehler zu feiern:** Perfektionismus ablegen und spielerisch "scheitern".
* đ§ **Präsenz zu stärken:** Ganz im Hier und Jetzt reagieren.
* đ¤ **Gemeinsam zu lachen:** Kurze, humorvolle Ăbungen ohne Leistungsdruck.
**Der Ablauf:** Wir starten mit einer Stunde lockerer Gruppenspiele. Danach folgen sehr kurze, lustige Impro-Szenen.
**Wichtig:** Du machst nur das, worauf du Lust hast. Es ist ein Safe Space â keine Vorkenntnisse nĂśtig!
đ¤ **Host:** Simon Brauner (Ăźber 70geleitete Trainings)
Das Event ist kostenlos. Wir bitten um Spenden fĂźr das Nachbarschaftszentrum.
**Komm vorbei, lass den Planungsmodus hinter dir und entdecke die Freude am Moment. Wir freuen uns auf dich! đ**

Saturday Film Club - 23rd Edition - The Metamorphosis of Birds
A Branch of the **Social Book Club** focusing on International Cinema. I try to host 2 film nights a month where I will find films based on the taste profile of the audience.
We the Lovely Folks of the **Saturday Film Club, are back for the 23rd Edition** this Saturday! đŹđżđď¸
âď¸ We start at **18:30** hrs.
Film chosen for this week is:
đĽ **The Metamorphosis of Birds**
A quiet, poetic Portuguese film about family, memory, and the passage of time.
Blending narration, stillness, and beautiful imagery, it tells the story of a father, a mother, and their children â unfolding like a dream or a remembered story. Tender, reflective, and deeply meditative.
IMDb: 7.2/10 â Runtime: 1h 41m.
đ˝ď¸ Post Meetup Food at China Zentrum Stiegengasse! đđ
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- Due to redesign of the MUT office space, the number of seats has shrunk. I can guarantee comfortable seating for 15 people. People in the waitlist can show up, although I can't promise comfortable seating for them. I am working on expanding this so we
can sit 20 people atleast.
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.
Meet & Draw â Scent and Color
Join us for a relaxed creative session where scent becomes inspiration :)
We will explore the connection between **natural aromas and visual expression**. A selection of essential oils will be available, and you can intuitively choose one that attracts you. Take a moment to notice what the scent evokes - **colors, textures, memories, or images**.
You can translate your impressions into a drawing or painting. Your work can be **abstract** or represent an object, place, or feeling you associate with the scent.
No drawing experience is needed - just curiosity and openness to experiment.
What to bring: your favorite drawing/watercolor materials and paper.
â ď¸ Please note: essential oils will be used during the session - if you have allergies or sensitivities to scents, please take this into consideration before attending.

Run+B-fast
Hi Running fellows,
Whether youâre 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 SchĂśnbrunn 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 SchĂśnbrunn U-Bahn stop (exit GrĂźnbergstraĂe). (Coordinates: 48.1858130, 16.3200640) From there, we walk to the side park entrance where the ârunningâ 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, weâre off to breakfast!
Breakfast Details: Anker bakery opposite the U4 Hietzing station and depending on the weather, grab something for a picnic in SchĂśnbrunn 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 donât 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

Astrology Cafe - connect with the inner Life
đ 2026 â such an astrologically momentous year! With significant planetary shifts and super rare cosmic alignments on the horizon, there's no better time to deepen your connection with yourself and understand what this unbelievable year has in store.
**Why Astrology?**
Astrology is a symbolic language đ and, as such, it is the ideal method for understanding and connecting with our unconscious. If you want to get to know yourself better and strengthen the connection to your inner wisdom and creativity, then this session is for you. đŤ
**What Makes This Different:**
This is not a classical teaching event. Rather, what you can expect here is a fun, guided experience, mixing astrology with **creative journaling** âď¸ and **meditative reflection** đ§. You will get a chance to flex your intuitive muscles and also meet some like-minded seekers and thinkers. After this session, you will understand how astrology can be used to forge a deeper connection with yourself and access more of the magic you carry.
**What to Expect:**
This cozy session will give you the chance to connect with peers and become more mindful of your astrology journey through deeper understanding and perspectives. Every week we are working on a different topic, question, chart placement, etc. Feel free to become a regular, or drop by whenever you wish.
đ We will begin the session with an introduction of all participants
â We will then guide you through various exercises in small groups, meant to help you to explore the wealth that astrology has in store for you.
đŹ The session will conclude with an open discussion, and a chance to ask any questions.
**Who Should Attend:**
This session is open to complete beginners đą as well as those who have experience with astrology. It is recommended to have your birth chart available. To generate your chart, I recommend using the website ***astro.com***
đ°This event is offered COMPLETELY FREE OF CHARGE but donations are more than welcome. You can donate using **PayPal** (paypal.me/furtunadincarpati) or **Revolut** (revolut.me/misterclarity).

99 Easy Steps to Austrian Integration | Terence Hartnett Live @TheComedyPub
## [GET TICKETS HERE!!!](https://www.eventbrite.at/e/99-easy-steps-to-austrian-integration-terence-hartnett-live-thecomedypub-tickets-1983481860639?aff=MeetUp)
A fast-paced English comedy show about surviving â and loving â life in Austria.
## An Americanâs Guide to Becoming Austrian (In Only 99 Easy Steps)
Two years ago, NYC comedian **Terence Hartnett** moved to Vienna for love.
Now, after navigating bureaucracy, Kaffeehaus culture, German grammar traps, recycling rules, and the mysterious emotional rhythm of Austrian friendliness, heâs ready to present his definitive â and completely foolproof â 99-step integration plan.
This is English-language Kabarett meets sharp stand-up comedy â rapid-fire, intelligent, self-aware, and deeply relatable for anyone who has ever felt like an outsider in a new country.
## What the Show Explores
* â **How to Order at a Viennese Kaffeehaus**
(The service is half as attentive as in America⌠but so is the expected tip.)
* đ **How to Master Public Transport**
(If it looks free, it probably isnât.)
* đ **A1 German Confusion**
(âWer ist die toilette?â does NOT mean what you think it means.)
* âď¸ **Austrian (Un)Friendliness**
Austrians arenât unfriendly â they just take three years to decide if they like you.
* âťď¸ **Recycling**
Enough said.
Through rapid punchlines, sharp cultural comparisons, and heartfelt storytelling, Hartnett examines the small daily moments where cultures collide â and where humor saves us.
## Cultural Relativity, Explained Through Laughter
Kurt Vonnegut once wrote:
*âCultural relativity is defensible, attractive. It's a source of hope.â*
As an outsider, Hartnett looks at Austrian culture with curiosity instead of criticism. What seems strange through American eyes becomes funny, thoughtful, and sometimes even beautiful.
There is a lot to love.
A little to resent.
And so much to laugh about.
Through gentle teasing and sharp self-deprecation, **everyone becomes the punchline â including the comedian himself.**
## Who This Show Is For
â Expats navigating Austrian life
â Austrians curious how they look from the outside
â English-speaking comedy lovers in Vienna
â Anyone who has ever lived abroad
â Fans of smart, cultural, observational stand-up
If youâve ever struggled with integration, paperwork, language, or just figuring out where to stand on an escalator â this show is for you.
## About Terence Hartnett
Terence Hartnett is a New York City comedian known for blending personal storytelling with sharp cultural observations. His work bridges continents with humor that is intelligent, warm, and quietly philosophical â without ever losing the punchlines.
## Why You Should Come
Because integration is hard.
Because Austria is confusing.
Because cultural differences are funny.
Because laughter makes everything easier.
**99 Easy Steps to Austrian Integration** is a love letter to Austria â written in jokes.
Seats are limited.
Arrive early, grab a drink, and get ready to laugh at the beautiful absurdity of living between cultures.
