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.

**🌬️ Breathwork – Geführte meditative Reise** **Adresse:** Bella Volen Galerie, Landesgerichtsstraße 6, Wien 1010 **Start um 19 Uhr** **Ankommen zwischen** 18:40 und 18:55 Breathwork ist eine Reise nach innen – eine Begegnung mit dem Unbewussten, getragen und geführt durch den Atem. In unserem oft hektischen Alltag fällt es uns nicht immer leicht, Abstand zu gewinnen und das größere Bild zu erkennen. Umso erstaunlicher ist es, wie schnell sich unsere innere Wahrnehmung verändern kann, wenn wir uns bewusst mit unserem Atem verbinden. Die Einladung an Sie besteht darin, sich vertrauensvoll dem Atem hinzugeben und sich für neue Erfahrungen, Erkenntnisse und innere Räume zu öffnen. Es ist Ihre ganz persönliche Reise. Begleitet von Musik und der ruhigen Stimme von Christian findet die Session in einem geschützten, abgedunkelten Raum statt. Die Fenster sind mit Vorhängen bedeckt, sodass Sie ungestört loslassen und ganz bei sich ankommen können. Wissenschaftliche Studien zeigen, dass bewusste Atemtechniken den Vagusnerv aktivieren, Stresshormone reduzieren sowie Herzfrequenz und Blutdruck positiv beeinflussen können. Breathwork kann dabei helfen, emotionale Spannungen zu lösen, das Nervensystem zu beruhigen und einen Zustand tiefer Entspannung, Klarheit und innerer Präsenz zu fördern. Viele Menschen erleben Breathwork als eine heilsame Erfahrung, bei der festgefahrene Emotionen in Bewegung kommen, neue Einsichten entstehen und eine tiefere Verbindung zu sich selbst spürbar wird. Es kann ein Raum entstehen für innere Ruhe, Selbstvertrauen, Verbundenheit und die eigene innere Weisheit. ✨ Loslassen 💙 Nervensystem beruhigen ✨ Innere Klarheit 🌱 Erdung 🌬️ Bewusstes Atmen 🤍 Verbundenheit **Für die Session ist bereits alles vorbereitet:** Für die Session ist bereits alles vorbereitet: Matten, Decken, Kissen und Getränke stehen zur Verfügung. **Bringen Sie lediglich bequeme Kleidung mit.** Wenn Sie möchten, können Sie zusätzlich **eine Augenmaske** oder **ein Tuch zum Abdecken der Augen** mitbringen. Wir freuen uns darauf, Sie auf dieser besonderen Reise zu begleiten. **Christian & Bella Volen Galerie**

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

Hi everyone, On Sunday, June 28, 2026, I'm planning a scenic hike from Greifenstein to Redlingerhütte and back through the beautiful northern Wienerwald. This hike combines forest trails, panoramic viewpoints above the Danube, and a relaxed social atmosphere with plenty of time for conversation, short breaks, and enjoying nature together. For anyone who would like to extend the day, there will be the optional opportunity after the hike to relax at the nearby Danube backwater (Donaualtarm), with a picnic and a swim. **Hike Details** **Distance:** approximately 12 km **Elevation gain:** approximately 450 m **Walking time:** around 4 hours **Difficulty:** easy to moderate **Required fitness:** suitable for anyone comfortable walking for several hours on forest trails and paths Route information: [https://www.bahn-zum-berg.at/wienerwald/von-greifenstein-zur-redlinger-huette/](https://www.bahn-zum-berg.at/wienerwald/von-greifenstein-zur-redlinger-huette/) ### Optional After-Hike Picnic & Swim After returning to Greifenstein, anyone who still feels energetic is welcome to join for an informal picnic and a swim at the nearby Danube backwater (Donaualtarm). If you would like to stay, please bring your own snacks, drinks, picnic blanket, and swimming gear. This is a completely optional part of the day and a nice opportunity to relax by the water after the hike. There is also a local restaurant near the Danube where snacks and drinks can be purchased. **Metting Point & Travel** **Meeting time:** 08:20 in front of Bahnhof Heiligenstadt, exit 12.-Februar-Platz. **Please buy your own ticket before boarding the train** and arrive on time. We will take the **S40 at 08:42** from Bahnhof Heiligenstadt to **Greifenstein-Altenberg/Donau**. The train ticket costs approximately **€2.90 per direction**. **What to bring** • Sturdy hiking shoes with good grip • Weather-appropriate clothing • 1.5–2 litres of water • Snacks and/or lunch • Sun protection (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen) • Swimming gear and towel (optional) **What to expect** We will walk together at a relaxed and social pace and stay as a group throughout the day. This is not a race or a performance hike. As long as you have the basic fitness required for this route, the focus is on enjoying nature, good conversations, and spending time outdoors with fellow hikers. We will take regular short breaks whenever useful. We do not plan to stop at huts or restaurants during the hike itself, so please bring your own food and enough water for the day. Weather conditions can change quickly, so basic rain protection is recommended. Please wear proper hiking shoes and bring adequate sun protection, especially if warm and sunny weather is forecast. Toilet facilities are available on the train and in Greifenstein-Altenberg/Donau before and after the hike. **Important note** ⚠️**Disclaimer:** As always, this is a free, private leisure activity. I am not a certified hiking guide, and participation is entirely at your own responsibility and risk. I will send a weather update on Friday evening to everyone who has registered. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Looking forward to sharing this hike with you! Jörg

Your plant will have a chance to meet other house plants, make plant friends, and maybe even win some prizes. **What to bring:** \- One of your house plants **What we'll do:** \- Stuff **Where we'll do:** \- Check the location of the event again before you leave\. It's set for Grillplatz 8 at Donauinsel for now\. If it's taken already\, we'll be somewhere in that area\.

Do you sometimes feel like you do well in life then something happens and you slide back, never quite getting ahead. At this Meetup you'll find out how to identify what actually causes the lows, the highs and everything in between. More importantly you’ll get the secret of how to gain control over your life so the highs are higher and the lows go away. Wouldn’t it be nice to stop the wild roller coaster ride for good? Or at least make it a fun roller coaster ride, with more ups and downs. There is a hidden factor that will be going over and you’re going to be quite surprised what it is and how much it affects your life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to the event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is hosted at the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center.

WQC has weekly Thursday night social nights at the Westerville Java Central. Come and grab a coffee and connect with the community: low stakes, chill environment, and tasty drinks. No registration is required; come as you are.
