Book Lovers

This first meeting is about getting to know each other. We are launching a small, thoughtful business book club in Vienna for founders, entrepreneurs, operators, and intellectually curious professionals who value deep thinking, honest conversation, and strong community. The goal of this first session is not to discuss a specific book, but to meet, talk, and understand who is in the room. At this meeting: * You do not need to read anything beforehand * We will introduce ourselves and share interests * We will talk about what topics and books genuinely interest the group * Together we will decide on the future format and reading plan

I would love for you to join me for an evening of soulful conversations, energetically aligned presence and an opportunity to connect with like minded individuals 🤍 The invitation is as follows: bring your current favorite read in connection to spirituality or self-improvement/consciousness/mindset. I look forward to seeing you there ☺️

After wandering through Japan and exploring its tea culture, we are diving deep into **Green Teas from Shizuoka**. We will taste a special shaded green tea while sharing the stories behind the farmers and the landscapes where these leaves were harvested. We like to be nerdy and going deep into the matter, but don’t be scared if you are a newbie! There is always time for socialization, random chats, discussions and even the chance buy tea if you will! We’re looking forward to meet you again or for the first time! Sincerely Vienna tea lovers team \*20€ - symbolic fee to cover tea and location expenses

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.

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.

If that doesn't work, you can attend the writing session anyway.

INVESTOTALK is a discussion event in English language which focuses on investing and trading opportunities covering a wide range of assets like shares, crypto, bonds, commodities, Forex, gold and others. The conversation is based on discussion rules, so that everybody gets the chance to participate. We will meet at at a restaurant where we will have a private room exclusively reserved for our event. At the beginning we will choose the topics to discuss. Everybody can suggest a topic related to investing. Then we will vote what topics to discuss. The participant who suggests a topic can present his standpoint on it, once it is discussed. Afterwards everybody gets a chance to make a statement. But you can also decide to remain silent and only listen, if you prefer that. We have a time limit for statements, so that everybody has enough time to speak. It is not allowed to interrupt somebody who is speaking. After a statement everybody can ask a question and the speaker will answer. Everybody who is interested in investing is welcome to our event - irrespective of your investing experience, background and knowledge. We also welcome beginners. We are interested in your thoughts and opinions! It is no problem to arrive late, if you can't make it in time. It is also possible to leave anytime, if you have to go home earlier.

Welcome to the Vienna Film Forum, a monthly discussion group dedicated to the love of cinema! Think of us as cinema’s answer to your local book club. Each month, we pick a recent or upcoming movie release and meet up to share our thoughts on it. You watch the film on your own time and then meet up with us to discuss it, so make sure to plan in advance to see the film before you come to the Meetup! We are an international group and are devoted to including expats and discussing films each month in English, though you need not necessarily have seen the film in English. For this month, we will be discussing the new Brendan Fraser film, Rental Family. This poignant dramedy, set in Japan, follows a man who runs an unusual business renting himself out to play roles in other people’s lives — as a father, husband, or family member — for those who need someone to fill an emotional void. The film will release on January 8th in Austria but looks to have a limited run before that. Do some research to make sure you can find a screening and see it in time. Join us for a drink and a lively debate as we unpack the film!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

For January, we’re reading Migrations by Charlotte McConaghy. For fans of Flight Behavior and Station Eleven, a novel set on the brink of catastrophe, as a young woman chases the world's last birds--and her own final chance for redemption. Franny Stone has always been a wanderer. By following the ocean's tides and the birds that soar above, she can forget the losses that have haunted her life. But when the wild she loves begins to disappear, Franny can no longer wander without a destination. She arrives in remote Greenland with one purpose: to find the world's last flock of Arctic terns and track their final migration. She convinces Ennis Malone, captain of the Saghani, to take her onboard, winning over his eccentric crew with promises that the birds will lead them to fish. As the Saghani fights its way south, Franny's dark history begins to unspool. Battered by night terrors, accumulating a pile of unsent letters, and obsessed with pursuing the terns at any cost, Franny is full of secrets. When her quest threatens the safety of the entire crew, Franny must ask herself what she is really running toward--and running from. Propelled by a narrator as fierce and fragile as the terns she is following, Charlotte McConaghy's Migrations is both an ode to our threatened world and a breathtaking page-turner about the lengths we will go for the people we love.

**Our February novel is: Julia by Sandra Newman** **This month is a classic, dystopian, fiction, literary fiction, women’s fiction, and science fiction novel. The book is 394 pages in print and 14 hours and 20 minutes on audiobook.** **An imaginative, feminist, and brilliantly relevant-to-today retelling of Orwell’s 1984, from the point of view of Winston Smith’s lover, Julia, by critically acclaimed novelist Sandra Newman.** Julia Worthing is a mechanic, working in the Fiction Department at the Ministry of Truth. It’s 1984, and Britain (now called Airstrip One) has long been absorbed into the larger trans-Atlantic nation of Oceania. Oceania has been at war for as long as anyone can remember, and is ruled by an ultra-totalitarian Party, whose leader is a quasi-mythical figure called Big Brother. In short, everything about this world is as it is in Orwell’s 1984. All her life, Julia has known only Oceania, and, until she meets Winston Smith, she has never imagined anything else. She is an ideal citizen: cheerfully cynical, always ready with a bribe, piously repeating every political slogan while believing in nothing. She routinely breaks the rules, but also collaborates with the regime when necessary. Everyone likes Julia. Then one day she finds herself walking toward Winston Smith in a corridor and impulsively slips him a note, setting in motion the devastating, unforgettable events of the classic story. Julia takes us on a surprising journey through Orwell’s now-iconic dystopia, with twists that reveal unexpected sides not only to Julia, but to other familiar figures in the 1984 universe. This unique perspective lays bare our own world in haunting and provocative ways, just as the original did almost seventy-five years ago.
