Open Dialogue – Discovering Together in Vienna
We will meet in a calm and friendly place ( Parc, Café, Restaurant) to explore together some of Jiddu Krishnamurti’s key questions about awareness, relationship, and freedom.
There will be no teaching, no authority — only open dialogue and attentive listening.
Everyone is welcome, whether you are familiar with Jiddu Krishnamurti or simply curious about life and self-understanding.
We’ll start with an open conversation around a theme such as “Listening without judgment” or “Can thought bring clarity?”
Please bring openness, curiosity, and a readiness to listen — no books or notes needed.
The spirit is not to discuss “what should be,” but to observe together “what is.”
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! 🎬🌿🕊️
☀️ We start at **18:30** hrs.
Film chosen for this week is:
🎥 **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 — unfolding like a dream or a remembered story. Tender, reflective, and deeply meditative.
IMDb: 7.2/10 – Runtime: 1h 41m.
🍽️ 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- 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.
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 — and loving — life in Austria.
## An American’s 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, he’s ready to present his definitive — and completely foolproof — 99-step integration plan.
This is English-language Kabarett meets sharp stand-up comedy — 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
* ☕ **How to Order at a Viennese Kaffeehaus**
(The service is half as attentive as in America… but so is the expected tip.)
* 🚋 **How to Master Public Transport**
(If it looks free, it probably isn’t.)
* 📚 **A1 German Confusion**
(“Wer ist die toilette?” does NOT mean what you think it means.)
* ❄️ **Austrian (Un)Friendliness**
Austrians aren’t unfriendly — they just take three years to decide if they like you.
* ♻️ **Recycling**
Enough said.
Through rapid punchlines, sharp cultural comparisons, and heartfelt storytelling, Hartnett examines the small daily moments where cultures collide — and where humor saves us.
## Cultural Relativity, Explained Through Laughter
Kurt Vonnegut once wrote:
*“Cultural relativity is defensible, attractive. It's a source of hope.”*
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 — including the comedian himself.**
## Who This Show Is For
✔ Expats navigating Austrian life
✔ Austrians curious how they look from the outside
✔ English-speaking comedy lovers in Vienna
✔ Anyone who has ever lived abroad
✔ Fans of smart, cultural, observational stand-up
If you’ve ever struggled with integration, paperwork, language, or just figuring out where to stand on an escalator — 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 — 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 — written in jokes.
Seats are limited.
Arrive early, grab a drink, and get ready to laugh at the beautiful absurdity of living between cultures.

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
Extended Photography Workshop: Light, Seeing & Composition
*Light is the subject. Everything else supports it.*
**Extended Photography Workshop**
Date: Saturday, 14 March (14.03.2026)
Start: 16:00
Duration: approx. 4.5 hours
Location\*\*:\*\* Vienna (exact meeting point shared after booking)
***
This workshop is built around the transition from daylight to night.
We’ll work with natural light first and then move into controlled artificial light, allowing you to experience how different light sources shape mood, contrast, and meaning.
This workshop is focused on light — how to recognise it, shape it, and use it intentionally.
In the first part, we’ll work with natural light, contrast, direction, and colour, and how these elements influence mood and meaning in a photograph. The second half will be dedicated to working with artificial light, as that helps even further to understand how to work with light.
During the workshop I keep the focus on perception: learning to notice light before you lift the camera, and understanding how composition supports it.
You’ll learn how to simplify scenes, work with shadows, and make conscious choices rather than reacting to what’s in front of you.
The workshop is crucial as even professionals often do not use light to the full potential and I’ve seen many times when people working as photographers are forgetting about the most fundamental and complex part of it – light! Photo is light and here I explain ways to use it to your advantage
###### During the workshop you’ll
* observe and analyse light before taking a photograph
* practice seeing contrast, direction, and colour in real situations
* shoot guided exercises focused on light, not subjects
* review images together and talk through decisions
* learn how to approach unfamiliar scenes with a clear visual intention
###### After the workshop
You should feel more confident recognising good light, making deliberate choices, and understanding why you take a photograph — not just how.
To book this workshop you can get in touch through my contact form. Please note that a 50% prepayment is required to secure your spot

Wirklich sehen, hören, fühlen – Wie geschärfte Wahrnehmung Nähe ermöglicht
### **,,Wirklich sehen, hören, fühlen – Wie geschärfte Wahrnehmung Nähe ermöglicht''**
**Workshop für Sinne, Selbsterkenntnis & Beziehungstiefe**
***
**Was, wenn echte Verbindung nicht durch Reden, sondern durch Wahrnehmen beginnt?**
Wie nah wir anderen kommen – in Partnerschaft, Freundschaft oder Familie – hängt oft davon ab, **wie klar und fein wir wahrnehmen können**: uns selbst, den anderen, die Situation.
In diesem Workshop schulen wir unsere Sinne – **sehen, hören, riechen, fühlen** – und erkennen, was zwischen Wahrnehmung und Reaktion liegt: unsere gelernten Muster, Schutzmechanismen und tiefen Bedürfnisse.
***
**Inhalte & Übungen**:
* Wie „Wahr“-nehmung funktioniert – und wie sie getäuscht werden kann
* Sehen, Hören, Riechen, Fühlen bewusst trainieren – mit alltagsnahen Übungen
* Schulz von Thun: Was höre ich wirklich, wenn jemand spricht?
* Virginia Satir: Welche Reaktionen schützen mich – und verhindern Nähe?
* Karen Horney & Bindungstheorie: Warum wir uns so schwer tun mit Kontakt
* Sinneserfahrungen mit Alltagsgegenständen (z. B. Kaffee, Stoffe, Düfte)
* Achtsame Selbstwahrnehmung & ehrlicher Austausch in Kleingruppen
***
**Warum das wichtig ist:**
Viele Kommunikationsprobleme und Beziehungskonflikte entstehen nicht durch bösen Willen – sondern durch **nicht wahrgenommene Signale**, alte Muster oder unbewusste Schutzreaktionen.
Wenn wir die Welt feiner spüren lernen, **werden wir echter, weicher, verbindlicher** – ohne uns zu verlieren.
***
**Für wen?**
Für Menschen, die sich selbst und andere besser verstehen wollen – nicht theoretisch, sondern **im Spüren, Erleben und im echten Kontakt**.
***
📍**Ort:** jeden Sonntag
🕖 **Zeit:** 11:00-14:30
☕ **Mit Sinnesimpulsen wie Kaffee & Duftübungen** Kaffee & kleine Snacks inklusive!
💶 **Beitrag:** 25€
📝 **Anmeldung:** über Meetup oder Emailanmeldung unter: orhanberatgueclue@gmail.com
Astrology Cafe - connect with the inner Life
🎊 2026 – 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 🌌 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. 💫
**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** ✍️ and **meditative reflection** 🧘. 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.
🌙 We will begin the session with an introduction of all participants
⭐ 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.
💬 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 🌱 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***
💰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).

Shut Up & Write!® East Side Columbus
Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 7:00pm on Wednesday, March 25 at Streetlight Guild.
Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done.
**SCHEDULE:**
6:45ish - Quick introductions
7:00 - Timer starts: write for 1 hour
8:00 - The End
**OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING** happens before and after the writing hour. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing.
**BEING LATE IS OKAY:** just show up and get settled! If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer.
Happy writing & I look forward to seeing you at Streetlight Guild!
**WHAT SHOULD I BRING?**
Whatever you need to be able to write! You're welcome to bring earplugs/headphones if noise will bother you!
**OTHER IMPORTANT DETAILS:**
* **RSVP:** Please RSVP by 6:00pm the evening of the meeting. This helps me know how many to expect, and if we'll need additional space!
* **COVID:** While masks are not required, please be mindful of the other writers around you and their comfort levels.
* **WIFI/OUTLETS:** Outlets are limited, so please ensure your devices are charged when you come! But Streetlight Guild does have free WiFi! Yay!
* **PARKING:** There is free public parking at Streetlight Guild.
Queer Quills
**We are expanding our creative programming opportunities with Queer Quills, a quiet writing and sharing space. Queer Quills features some prompts, supplies and friendly faces to help get some inspiration or feedback for your writing. Hope to see you there!**
Speak Easy (Storytelling)
The topic for March is "Our Bodies, Ourselves"
Speak Easy: true stories, told live.
The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast.
Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect.
The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!
DoJo (Informal Python Meeting)
**New Dojo Location!**
**Draft Day Columbus**
1130 Dublin Road
Columbus, OH 43215
We're going to try a new dojo location for a few weeks and see how it works
Dojos are informal Python group study sessions where everyone interested in Python gathers to learn about Python, help others with Python, or just hang out. Everyone is welcome from Python beginners to experts. Bringing a laptop is encouraged (we'll have extension cords and power strips). If there's something you want to learn leave a comment on this invite so we can plan ahead.
We're looking for topic suggestions and people interested in presenting at our monthly meetings. To this end we've set up a survey form at [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/15eBKF1nQQ2XS5gzD4rvhVRHMBEj7lJtHuA9wXupS3Uc](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/15eBKF1nQQ2XS5gzD4rvhVRHMBEj7lJtHuA9wXupS3Uc)
