First event: The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas
For our very first book club meeting, we’re heading to 19th-century Brazil with ***The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas*** by **Machado de Assis!**
First published in 1881, this novel turns the idea of a memoir upside down. Its narrator, Brás Cubas, begins his story after his death, freed from reputation, consequence, and social expectation. From beyond the grave, he recounts his life with wit, irony, and sharp self-awareness.
**Location: Plutzer Bräu Vienna.**
€2 kindly requested on the night to help cover Meetup costs.
Sunrise meditation and sound
Morning **1h meditation** and sound healing practice at sunrise!
The meditation takes place in nature to collect clean morning energy in the Oberlaa park.
Meditation consists of **2 parts**:
**1 part: 30-40 min:**
**Morning meditation.** We’re starting the day with a sense of fulfillment, positive thoughts, and gentle meditative movement. Even my grandmother does these exercises:)
These meditative exercises will help you wake up your body, activate the flow of Qi (energy) in your channels, and improve your health.
**2 part:**
**Sound healing 15-20 min** (depends on the weather conditions)
After the meditation, you relax, lie, or sit down on a mat, and let your body prepare for the day. I play a sound healing for you. Sound healing uses specific tones and vibrations to gently bring your body back into balance.
**What to bring:**
* A **yoga mat** to lie on during the sound healing
* A **hat** (if you need one against the sun)
* **Comfortable clothes** for light movement
* A **light blanket**, if you want to cover yourself
* A **cup**:) You can enjoy a herbal tea after the session.
**Location:** Oberlaa Park. The exact location: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/mL32DQtuqM8TPkDn8](https://maps.app.goo.gl/mL32DQtuqM8TPkDn8 "https://maps.app.goo.gl/mL32DQtuqM8TPkDn8")
48°08'44.7"N 16°24'08.7"E
Turn to the left after you enter the park.
**Schedule:** please arrive 5 minutes before to start on time.
**Price: First test session - free. Next - 15 euros**
The reason we’re starting so early is that it’s getting hot very quickly. You can enjoy the first sunlight and get a healthy tan during the practice, which is very beneficial for your body.
*\*Please note that the meditation will take place if at least 3 people join the practice.*

Shut Up & Write!® Thursdays @Café Pierre
Join us for a writing session! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 18:00 on Thursdays at Café Pierre.
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:
18:00 - SESSION 1: quick intros.
18:15- timer starts
20:00 - (the end) chat / take off / keep writing / discussion group meeting.
Café Pierre closes at 24:00
OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens when we're finished and before the writing session starts. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing.
BEING LATE IS OKAY: just show up and join us!
Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you at Café Pierre!
What Should I Bring?
Whatever you need to be able to write!
Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block the cafe’s overhead music or the occasional conversation by other patrons.
Other Important Details:
INTERNET: There is WLAN in the café. The staff will tell you the password if you ask them, or just ask me.
TRAVEL / PARKING: U3 Neubaugasse, U4 Kettenbrückengasse. If you drive there, remember that Kurzparkzone applies.
SEATING INFORMATION: plenty of seats available. It's the big oval table inside, but if the weather is nice in the summertime, we may be found outside.
GUIDELINES: Please thank our hosts by purchasing something.
Other information: There is no registration process for this meetup. Just click on the meetup you want to attend and then click on the red button "Teilnehmen" or "attend". If that doesn't work, you can attend the writing session anyway.

Boost Your Google & AI Visibility
This practical webinar is designed for self-employed professionals and small business owners in Austria who want to become easier to find, easier to trust, and easier to choose - both on Google and in AI-driven search.
Save your spot: [https://www.self-employed.at/event-details-registration/boost-your-google-ai-visibility-practical-visibility-steps-you-can-implement-tomorrow](https://www.self-employed.at/event-details-registration/boost-your-google-ai-visibility-practical-visibility-steps-you-can-implement-tomorrow)
About the event
Google is no longer the only place people search for solutions. Today, your potential customers are also asking tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and other AI systems for recommendations.
The question is:
Will your business show up when they are looking?
This practical webinar is designed for self-employed professionals and small business owners in Austria who want to become easier to find, easier to trust, and easier to choose — both on Google and in AI-driven search.
You will leave with clear, realistic actions you can start implementing the next day.
What this webinar is about:
Many businesses want quick visibility.
They ask:
“How do I get to number one on Google?”
“How do I appear in ChatGPT?”
“How do I make my content perform better?”
These are valid questions, but they often focus on speed instead of substance.
The businesses that win long term are not the ones chasing shortcuts. They are the ones that clearly understand their audience, build trust consistently, and position themselves in the places where buying decisions are made.
This webinar will show you how to start doing exactly that.
In this session, you will learn:
How Google and AI search are changing the way people discover businesses
Why being visible is no longer just about rankings, but also about trust and authority
What makes a business more likely to be found, understood, and recommended online
How to identify the search terms, questions, and topics your audience actually cares about
How to improve your website content so it speaks to both people and search systems
What practical steps you can take tomorrow to strengthen your online visibility
How to think long term instead of chasing short-term tactics
Who this is for:
This webinar is for you if you are:
A freelancer, consultant, coach, service provider, or small business owner
Trying to attract more consistent inquiries through your website
Interested in SEO, Google visibility, and AI search, but unsure where to start
Tired of random marketing tips
You do not need advanced technical knowledge. The session is practical, accessible, and focused on actions you can realistically implement.
Why this matters now:
Search behavior is changing.
People still use Google, but they are also using AI tools to compare options, understand services, and make buying decisions.
That means your business needs more than a few keywords on a website.
You need clarity.
You need content that answers real customer questions.
You need trust signals.
You need a presence that helps both humans and search systems understand who you are, what you do, and why you are relevant.
This is especially important for self-employed professionals, because trust is often the deciding factor before someone reaches out.
About the speaker:
The webinar is led by [Rilwan Mogaji ](https://www.linkedin.com/in/rilwan-mogaji-digital/)\- the co\-founder of [Mogaji Digital Communications](https://seo-agenturwien.at/en/), an SEO agency based in Vienna.
For more than five years, he has helped companies become more visible through Google and, increasingly, through AI systems like ChatGPT — with the goal of generating new customers consistently and predictably.
His work has been featured in outlets such as MeinBezirk, Wiener Wirtschaftszeitung, Radio Afrika, and Leadersnet. He also publishes industry-related articles on platforms such as [unternehmer.de](http://unternehmer.de/) and [designenlassen.de](http://designenlassen.de/).
His mission is to help companies move away from short-term marketing tricks and toward long-term positioning built on clarity, consistency, trust, and a genuine understanding of their audience.
You will walk away with:
A clearer understanding of how Google and AI visibility work
A practical checklist of improvements you can make to your online presence
Ideas for content that directly answers your audience’s real questions
A better understanding of how to build trust through your website and digital presence
A long-term mindset for attracting more relevant customers online

Notion Vienna #11 - Claude vs. Notion AI
If you are curious to know about what Notion can do this meetup is for you.
**Speakers:**
Philipp Stelzel, Nooa Adams and Beatrix Beer
**Agenda**:
We will present a workflow in **two different AI environments** — **Notion AI** and **Claude** — where an **AI agent turns AI meeting notes into a draft offer** (positioning, outline, and key messaging), and we’ll compare the process, the results, and the **credits/tokens consumed** while producing the same outcome.
Philipp will demo the workflow using Notion AI and we’ll track how many AI credits it consumes along the way.
Nooa will run the exact same workflow in Claude so we can compare results side-by-side and see how the credit usage differs.
Beatrix will present in German about „Mehr als Mails und PDFs – mit einem Notion-Kundenportal zur Premium-Kundenbetreuung“
**Afterwards**:
Drinks, food, networking, template swaps, and questions answered.
Join us, meet fellow Notioneers, and level up your workflow

Die Seele will gehört werden - Vortrag und Film
# Die Seele will gehört werden
Die Meditation auf Licht und Klang im Inneren ist die älteste und direkteste Form der Meditation, die allen organisierten Religionen vorausging. Sie umfasst keinerlei körperliche Übung, keine Atemtechnik und keine mentale Visualisierung. Es ist eine rein spirituelle Praxis — ein stilles Lauschen nach innen, dorthin, wo die Seele seit jeher spricht. Wer sich diesem inneren Licht und Klang öffnet, beginnt, die feinen Ebenen des eigenen Wesens wahrzunehmen - denn die Seele will gehört werden.
Diese Veranstaltung ist kostenlos.

Open Shelter has teamed up again with Red White and Boom! Friday, July 3rd & we are looking for volunteers to run the event’s alcohol booths. Proceeds from sales go to the Open Shelter’s organization.
There are two available shifts: 12-6p & 5-11p.
There will be an ipad-like device to process transactions in addition to cash. Everything will be in bottles or cans, so transactions should be very easy. Must be 21+.
There are multiple beverage stations along the Civic Center Bridge. The stations are covered and also have beverage trucks next to them, so volunteers can cool off in the trucks.
As far as parking, it is suggested those who are coming from the east use the Columbus Commons Garage, and those from the west use the Belle Street Garage.
