Science and Philosophy Discussion Table
This is a group for meeting new people, eating brunch, and having discussions about science, life, philosophy, politics, and people.
Anybody is free to join, and we charge no fees.
This discussion group aims to have the absolute minimal level of structure necessary to ensure the conversation remains engaging to the majority of people present. In particular, we \*don't\* have fixed order of speaking or timed statements.
So far, the balance we've struck is enforcing hand raising when conversation gets intense in order to minimize interruption, and to give the chair (me!) the power to occasionally call a snap election on the conversation topic.
Queer Book Club Vienna – Who’s Afraid of Gender? by Judith Butler
## **A Queer Book Club Exploring Gender, Politics, and Power**
Join us this April for our Queer Book Club at Villa Vida Café as we dive into *Who’s Afraid of Gender?* by Judith Butler — one of the most influential thinkers in contemporary gender theory.
In this session, we’ll unpack Butler’s latest work, which examines how “gender” has become a political flashpoint across the world. The book explores how anti-gender movements operate, what’s at stake, and how language, fear, and power shape public discourse.
This is a space for collective reading, critical thinking, and community exchange. No academic background needed—just curiosity and openness.
***
## **About the Book**
*Who’s Afraid of Gender?* looks at the global backlash against gender theory and LGBTQIA+ rights. Butler analyzes how gender has been framed as a threat in political rhetoric, and what this reveals about broader struggles over democracy, freedom, and identity.
Expect themes like:
* Anti-gender movements and moral panic
* The politics of language and framing
* Queer and trans resistance
* Power, fear, and ideology
***
## **Event Details**
* **Date:** Sunday, April 12, 2026
* **Time:** 14:00
* **Location:** Villa Vida Café
* **Room:** Main Café Space
* **Language:** English (German possible if needed)
***
## **What to Expect**
* Guided but open discussion
* Space to share reflections or just listen
* Community-focused and low-pressure atmosphere
* Mixed group: regulars + new faces always welcome
You don’t have to finish the book to join—but it helps.
***
## **Accessibility & Community Care**
* Step-free access available
* Accessible toilet
* This is a queer-centered, respectful space
* No tolerance for discriminatory behavior
***
## **Collaboration**
**The Queer Book Club is hosted In collaboration with** [o*books](http://o-book.at/) & [hint.wien](http://hint.wien/). Once you’ve joined, you can order the books to read at a discounted rate at o\*books.
Shut Up & Write!® - Sundays at Café Pierre
Come write with us at Cafe Pierre every Sunday at 18:00-20:00!
A message from Shut Up & Write: "Shut Up & Write hosts free, in-person and online writing events for writers all over the world. Our goal is to ensure that every writer—regardless of genre or skill level—has access to the resources, community, and accountability that they need to be successful in their personal writing goals."
And what this looks like at our event: We chat and give short introductions to what we are working on at 18:00, then start writing at 18:15. Though we try to start on dot, being late isn't a problem—just find a spot and get to work! We write until 20:00 and then discuss how our writing went. From fiction to non-fiction, academic papers to poetry, applications to work-related writing—anything goes! Nothing is needed except for you to bring whatever is need to get stuff done, i.e. laptop, headphones, pen and paper, and so on.
Optional socialising may happen before 18:00 and after 20:00, or you may choose to use this time to get some more done! Please do order something from the café (drink, meal, dessert, etc.) so as to keep us in their good graces!
Human Design Brunch @Zoku
Human Design isn’t just theory, it’s a map back to your natural way of operating.
Stop pushing against the grain and start living in alignment. This 2 hour long interactive workshop is designed to bridge the gap between “knowing” and “doing.” We’re skipping surface-level small talk to explore the deeper layers of human nature. Whether you’re completely new to Human Design or already familiar with it, you’ll find a supportive, English-speaking community ready to help you trade resistance for flow.
***
## The Agenda
During this session, we will explore:
* **The Origin of Human Design** – Where it comes from and how this system was created
* **What Human Design Is** – The foundations of the system and how it works
* **The Human Design Types** – Understanding the different energy types and how they move through life
And to make things interactive and fun:
🎟 **Human Design Lottery**
At the end of the workshop, 1–2 participants will be selected to receive a **live mini chart reading**.
After the workshop, we’ll open the space for **networking**, connection, and deeper conversations in a relaxed atmosphere.
***
## Your Toolkit
* **Your Stats:** Birth date, exact time, and location
* **A Notebook:** For those “aha!” moments you’ll want to remember
* **The Vibe:** An open mind and a healthy dose of curiosity

€15 per person
Early Bird: €10

## The Venue & After-Vibes
We’re gathering at **Zoku Vienna**, a creative hub in the heart of the city. Since it’s Wednesday, Zoku features live music in the evening. You’re warmly invited to stay after the workshop, enjoy the tunes, and connect with the community in a relaxed atmosphere.

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/)**.
CineTour Classics: Coma (1978) @ Breitenseer Lichtspiele (EN)
First and foremost - join our Telegram Channel!
[https://t.me/cinetour](https://t.me/cinetour)
Boston medical resident Susan Wheeler (Geneviève Bujold) becomes suspicious when her friend (Lois Chiles) is left in an irreversible coma after a routine procedure. Once she uncovers evidence of other patients being left in comas after undergoing procedures in the same operating room, she fears a conspiracy is afoot. When her physician boyfriend, Mark Bellows (Michael Douglas), is skeptical about her findings, Susan must go it alone to uncover the horrible truth.
\*\*\*
*HOW*
**If you can't find us before/after the movie, write me a PM (Farit, the host) or post a message to this event, I monitor it during the meetup and will pick you up.**
We meet at 18:30 at Breitenseer Biergartl (Huttengasse 1), and and shortly before the movie we go together to the theatre.
[Buy tickets - Coma](https://breitenseer-lichtspiele.at/event/retro-vision-coma-1978)
We recommend to buy your ticket as soon as possible!
Usually, after the movie we just chat a bit about it for a moment in front of the cinema. So don't run away, if you don't have to.

Sunday Badminton Event (10.30h-12.30h) Raketworld U3 Kendlerstraße
This is our weekly event!
-----------------
Hey Badminton Enthusiasts!
This meet-up is for all levels: beginners, intermediates and experts. Everyone is welcome to join, test their skills and have some fun together!
The host will reserve courts in advance, that means please only register if you really plan to come (or cancel at least 24 hours before the event starts). The fee for this event is 12€ (for the 2 hours). If you plan on paying in cash, please bring the exact amount as the host might not have any change available.
We are meeting at about 10:25 am near the reception by the lounge area (next to the courts). Come a bit earlier so you have time to change into workout/sports clothes. The locker rooms are free to use, but for the men lockers you need a padlock - or you can also take your bag of clothes upstairs to the courts if you do not have a padlock. Also, bring clean indoor sports shoes, your racket and a water bottle with you.
There is a drinking fountain available if you need to replenish your bottle.
If you do not have a racket, it is possible to rent rackets from the club, if necessary (3€). Sometimes the host or other members have spare rackets - please ask in the comment section below!
If you are joining our events for the first time, WELCOME! Let the host know that you are new and they will find a place for you. Don't worry, we are an open and friendly group. We are sure you will develop connections with the people in our community in no time!
Without further ado - let's play some badminton and have fun together!
Ecstatic Dance - Ecstatic Journey
**Ecstatic Dance – Blessings of Abundance** 💧✨
Am Sonntag, 12. April 2026 um 17:00 öffnen wir wieder den Raum für **einen Abend im Zeichen von Fülle**, Verbindung und bewusster Ausrichtung.
Zu Beginn dieses Abends gehen wir wieder ein Level tiefer mit dem dritten **Abundance Circle** wo wir einen noch lebensnaheren Ausdruck von Fülle zusammen kreieren. Fülle die uns wie ein tropischer Wasserfall durchströmt. Gemeinsam richten wir unseren Fokus auf das, was in uns besondere Aufmerksamkeit bekommen möchte.
In kleinen Gruppen widmen wir uns den Wünschen jedes Einzelnen – geben ihnen Raum, Präsenz und Energie. Spielerisch und zugleich würdevoll.
Ein Raum, in dem aus Klarheit Bewegung in und um uns entsteht.
Ein Raum, in dem Fülle nicht gedacht, sondern gelebt wird.
**Mitwirkende**
🌿 Sebastian Hornstein aka. Ion Mikado – Abundance Circle, DJ Set & Soundjourney
Sebastian öffnet und hält den Raum für bewusste Ausrichtung, Verbindung und das Sichtbarwerden dessen, wonach sich unser Innerstes sehnt. Gehört werden, berührt werden, unterstützt werden. Sebastian trägt uns durch eine musikalische Reise mit weiten Klangteppichen, dynamischen Remix Produktionen und seiner sanften Stimme für den Ausklang.
🔥 Michael – Dance Introduction & Kakao
Mit viel Verbindung zum Körper bringe Michael uns in Stimmung und in Selbstverbundenheit. Er bringt auch wieder seinen feinen Kakao mit – zum Genießen vor Ort und zum Mitnehmen.

Vienna Women’s Circle - Sunday Lunch Club
A slow Sunday, shared over beautiful food and meaningful conversations.
This time, we’re meeting for a cozy lunch at Salt & Honey — a place known for its warm atmosphere and delicious, feel-good dishes.
This gathering is about connection over perfection.
No pressure, no expectations — just a space to come as you are, meet inspiring women, and enjoy a gentle, nourishing Sunday together.
What to expect:
– A relaxed, welcoming atmosphere
– Easy, natural conversations
– A small & intimate group
– Delicious lunch & drinks (paid individually)
Whether you’re new to Vienna, new to the circle, or already part of the community — you are so welcome here 🤍
ADVANCED badminton players wanted!
Thank you for visiting this event page!
* Are you an advanced badminton player? If yes - WELCOME!
* The earlier you sign up, the bigger your chance to reserve a place - once 9 other players have signed up already, you move to the waiting list.
* Once the waiting list has 3 or more members, I will try to book an additional court, but no guarantees.
I need to close the registration 24h before the event as I will then have to decide whether to cancel any court due to a shortage of players. You can still contact me if you want to play though.
The fee per player will be €10.00 for 2 hours as the cost of both shuttles and court bookings have increased. But this should now cover also shuttles used during play.
Please be on time as a curtesy to the other players. In addition, if you are on the players' list and don't come (i.e. no show), you will be automatically excluded from this group.

Drunken
This month's prompt concerns the idea of the “warrior philosopher” (seemed appropriate in these times)--that is someone whose understanding of violence, power, and justice is forged through direct experience of war. We are looking at Major General Smedley D. Butler, a highly decorated U.S. Marine raised in a Quaker (pacifist) tradition who later became a prominent critic of American militarism (there is a wonderful biography of Gen. Butler called "Gangsters of Capitalism")
Butler's argument in *War Is a Racket* (1935): that many U.S. interventions were driven less by national defense than by corporate and financial interests, with Butler portraying himself as an enforcer for business and Wall Street. We can consider the moral ambiguity of his insider critique—whether complicity strengthens or undermines credibility and also consider some of the concrete reforms he proposed (e.g., “conscript” capital before soldiers, restrict the military to coastal defense, and have only those who fight decide on war).
Butler’s life arc clearly changed from pacifist upbringing to warrior to antiwar crusader—and asks whether true understanding of peace requires firsthand knowledge of war, and what that implies about the cost of suffering. So do we need to suffer to understand suffering? Do we have to experience war to appreciate peace? As one more question: in the movie "A Few Good Men" Jack Nicholson's character says that "you have the luxury of not knowing what I know" so do most of us go through life oblivious to real violence and suffering? See you at Drunken Philosophy!
