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

Die Einladung 💌 Dieser Workshop ist offen für alle, die daran interessiert sind, ihren Körper durch somatic movement zu erkunden. Was wir machen werden: ✨ Verspannungen in Schultern, Hüften und Rücken lösen. ✨ Den Geist beruhigen durch das Hineinspüren in körperliche Empfindungen. ✨ Mit der natürlichen Energie unseres Körpers uns wiederverbinden. Du bist eingeladen, dich so zu bewegen, wie es sich für dich sicher und wohltuend anfühlt! Es sind keine Vorkenntnisse erforderlich – es geht ganz um das Erkunden und nicht darum, sich „richtig“ zu bewegen. Praktische Details • Kleidung: Am besten ist weiche Kleidung, in der du dich frei bewegen kannst. Mehrere Schichten würden helfen, sollte sich deine Körpertemperatur während der Praxis verändern. Räumlichkeiten: Es gibt eine Garderobe/Umkleide, in der du dich umziehen kannst. Verpflegung: Bitte bringe eine Wasserflasche mit. Im selben Gebäude befindet sich ein Café, in dem du vor oder nach der Einheit Tee, Kaffee und Snacks genießen kannst. • Ankunft: Bitte sei bereits 10–15 Minuten früher da, um dich in Ruhe umzuziehen und im Raum anzukommen. Ich freue mich sehr darauf, dich zu sehen! 🧡🧡🧡 Alina ************ The Invitation 💌 This event is open to all who are interested in exploring their body through somatic movement. What we will do: ✨ Release "stuck" tension in the shoulders, hips, and back. ✨ Quiet the mind by tuning into physical sensations. ✨ Reconnect with our body's natural energy. You are encouraged to move in whatever way feels safe and nourishing for you! No prior experience required - it’s all about exploration, not finding the "right" way to move. Practical Details What to wear: Choose soft clothing that allows you to move freely. Layers are recommended as your body temperature may change during the practice. Facilities: A dressing room is available for you to change your clothes. Amenities: Please bring a water bottle. There is also a cafe in the building where you can enjoy tea, coffee, and snacks before or after the session. Arrival: Please arrive 10–15 minutes early to change and settle into the space. I’m so excited and happy to see you! 🧡🧡🧡 Alina

Hi everyone! On **Saturday, February 14, 2026**, I’m planning a beautiful winter hike across the green hills of Vienna — from **Nussdorf to Hütteldorf**, right through the heart of the Wienerwald. This hike combines forest paths, gentle ridgelines, and some of the best panoramic views over Vienna. It’s a great opportunity to enjoy nature, fresh winter air, and relaxed conversation while crossing the city from north to west on foot. You **do not have to walk the whole route**. This hike is perfect if you want to join **only for part of the way**: * 🚉 **Kahlenberg** – easy exit with public transport back into the city * 🚉 **Neuwaldegg** – another convenient exit point with tram connections (approx. 11km hike, 3-4hrs and 350m altitude) You can decide **during the hike** how far you’d like to go. Walking all the way to Hütteldorf is optional and only recommended if you feel fit and motivated on the day. **What makes this hike special** * 🌆 Beautiful views over Vienna from **Leopoldsberg** and **Kahlenberg** * 🌲 Peaceful forest paths through the **Wienerwald** * 📍 Passing classic local peaks like **Herrmannskogel** and **Dreimarkstein** * 🚉 Very flexible route: you can join for part of the hike and exit earlier if needed * 💬 A social hike with time for conversation and short breaks You’re welcome to walk **as long or as short as you like**. The most convenient exit points with public transport are **Kahlenberg** and **Neuwaldegg**, so this hike is ideal if you want to test your pace or fitness level in a friendly group setting. **Meeting Point** 📍 **Bahnhof Wien Nussdorf** 🕘 **09:00 a.m.** (in front of the station) **Hike Details** * ⏱ **Duration:** approx. **6.5 hours** (pure walking time to Hütteldorf) * 📏 **Distance:** up to **24 km** (if walking the full route) * ⛰ **Elevation:** approx. **892 m ascent** * 🟢 **Difficulty:** Easy (technically) * Walking the full route to Hütteldorf requires **good basic fitness** * Shorter options are possible * 🚶 **Pace:** Comfortable and social, with regular short breaks More information on the trail: [https://www.bergfex.at/sommer/niederoesterreich/touren/wanderung/2290740,nussdorf--vogelsangberg--hermannskogel--huetteldorf/](https://www.bergfex.at/sommer/niederoesterreich/touren/wanderung/2290740,nussdorf--vogelsangberg--hermannskogel--huetteldorf/) **Group Pace & Staying Together** **Fun (but serious) group disclaimer:** If you sprint ahead and disappear, I will assume you’ve chosen a new life among wild boars, dog walkers, and people power-walking in jeans. Running ahead voids all group benefits, including navigation, moral support, **access to snacks**, and protection from aggressive squirrels. By running ahead, you explicitly accept these terms and conditions. **Practical Notes** I’ll send a **weather update on Thursday evening** to everyone who’s registered. It will almost certainly be **cold and possibly frosty**, so please be prepared. * 🧤 Dress warmly in layers * 🥾 Wear sturdy, winter-appropriate hiking shoes * 💧 Bring your own snacks and drinks (at least **1 liter of water**), there will be no hut or restaurant stop along the route * Some sections may be **muddy or slightly icy**, depending on the weather **Disclaimer** As always, this is a **free, private leisure activity**. I’m not a certified hiking guide, and participation is at your own responsibility and risk. Looking forward to seeing you for this winter walk across Vienna ❄️🌲 Jörg

Private Group. Closed to the Public Knowing ourselves and understanding our abilities is the first step toward wielding our gifts with control and accuracy. In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected. The goal of our series will be to develop expertise in areas of particular interest such as mediumship, channeling, divination, healing and, etc.. Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve. I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia

# **Band: Old Possum's Menagerie; Caller: Richard Ades** Beginner lesson at 1:30, regular dancing begins at 2:00 pm NOTE THAT WE ARE TEMPORARILY DANCING IN THE AFTERNOON INSTEAD OF EVENING. Dance with us in the afternoon then you can still go out in the evening! **Sponsor: All Soles Contra and Square Dancing, First Unitarian Universalist Church, 93 W. Weisheimer Rd., Columbus OH 43214** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 1:30 - 2:00, followed by dancing 2:00 - 430. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. Please bring your own refillable water bottle.
