Join us for a nurturing and empowering in-person afternoon at **commonroom** for a form of networking going deeper. A local expression of our global **[Women Lead Community](https://women-lead-community.mn.co/),** each month we create a space for women to slow down, connect with themselves and others, and explore a new form of leadership grounded in **presence, purpose, and mutual support**. After a joint arrival, we take the time to reflect on our needs as well as what we each have to offer to the world. We have the opportunity to practice pitching our offers and needs in a safe space and connecting with other inspiring women who are eager to support each others growth. Just come as you are – curious, present, and open. No need to prepare anything. Bring a friend or meet new ones. Have something to write with you for the reflection and bring business cards and flyers of your offers, if you have any. The sessions are held in **English**. They are open to women of all backgrounds who are curious about co-creating a more conscious, caring, and connected world.

Introducing: Our Improv Choir After the beautiful workshop with Julia Füsselberger and Eric Ziegelbauer on Musical Improv, the idea was born to create a venue to learn and practice singing and to use these skills in improv. So here we have it: the IICVIC (we're still taking ideas for names...Roman numerals? 98 5 99? That would be the postal code for Olympia, WA.... Other ideas? Send me a message!) Come and learn how to use your voice and practice and train your instrument. Then apply your good work in some fun with circle songs and improvised singing. Every other Thursday at Die Schenke, Piaristengasse 33, 1080 Vienna. Please be prepared to give a donation of 7 Euros for the rent of the room.

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

We will meet in a calm and friendly place ( Parc, Café, Restaurant) to explore together some of Jiddu Krishnamurti’s key questions about awareness, relationship, and freedom. There will be no teaching, no authority — only open dialogue and attentive listening. Everyone is welcome, whether you are familiar with Krishnamurti or simply curious about life and self-understanding. We’ll start with an open conversation around a theme such as “Listening without judgment” or “Can thought bring clarity?” Please bring openness, curiosity, and a readiness to listen — no books or notes needed. The spirit is not to discuss “what should be,” but to observe together “what is.”
