Humming Traditions: SODAI - Straw, Form & Wind (Classic edition)
In the soft stillness of early morning, step into the gentle rhythm of creation and discover Sodai, traditional Lithuanian straw mobiles that once filled homes with balance, harmony, and quiet beauty. Before the world fully awakens, we gather in a calm, focused space where hands begin to move and thoughts begin to settle.
đżLimited spots. The group is limited to 8 people. You can secure your place by purchasing a ticket through the link:
https://doobeedoo-goodies.sumupstore.com/produkt/humming-traditions-sodai-straw-form-and-wind
đżDate: 10th of June
đżTime: 07:30â10:00 (it might take longer, depending on group tempo)
đżLocation: DooBeeDoo Goodies Atelier (MĂ€rzstraĂe 86, 1150 Vienna)
An immersive workshop for adults, quiet hands, patient minds, and those who enjoy the slow rhythm of creation.
In this workshop, we will explore the geometry of air, learning how to prepare and string straw into delicate symmetrical forms that sway softly with every breeze. Piece by piece, your hands will follow the same patterns that generations before us used to invite order and peace into their homes.
Youâll learn the basic techniques of straw preparation, stringing, and construction, and experience how a simple natural material can transform into something light, precise, and full of meaning. Together, weâll move through a calm, meditative process, each gesture connecting thought, breath, and creation in quiet balance.
By the end, youâll leave not only with your own handmade Sodas, a timeless ornament carrying both heritage and your creative touch, but also with the knowledge, focus, and stillness that this ancient craft awakens. It feels less like finishing an object and more like completing a gentle ritual of patience and peace.
To keep the experience personal and attentive, the group will be small and intimate, space is limited, so that every participant can receive individual guidance and care.
This workshop invites you to slow down, focus, and reconnect â with your hands, your thoughts, and the quiet poetry of simple materials. No previous experience is needed, only patient hands, a calm mind, and an eye for quiet detail.
đżđżđż
Humming Traditions is a series of creative workshops that explore the living, breathing essence of cultural practices. Each event invites participants to connect with ancient techniques, natural materials, and artistic expression in a hands-on, immersive experience.
The series celebrates the quiet resonance of tradition, the subtle vibrations, textures, and forms that have carried meaning through centuries. Whether through sound, movement, or craft, Humming Traditions is about experiencing culture as a living, dynamic, and tactile art form.
Each workshop stands on its own yet shares a common thread: creativity, mindfulness, and a connection to nature and heritage. Participants leave with newly learned skills, a calm mind, and a deeper appreciation for cultural artistry.

You just havenât been able to follow through. You start things, lose momentum and find yourself starting over again. Youâre not alone.
Most people get support at the beginning. And applause at the end. But the part that actually matters? The middle. The quiet, repetitive, sometimes frustrating part where nothing feels exciting, and everything depends on showing up. **Thatâs where we are.**
At NoCrastination, we donât meet for hype. We meet to **show up and finish something, together.** Not perfectly. Not magically. Just consistently.
**What this really is**
This is a space for people who are:
* building something
* figuring things out
* or simply trying to stay on track
**without doing it alone**
You donât need to be an entrepreneur. You just need something you want to move forward.
**What happens here**
You bring something youâve been putting off. We sit down together. We focus. And you leave with something done. Thatâs it. And thatâs everything.
**Why people keep coming back**
* âI finally follow through on what I planâ
* âI leave with real progress every timeâ
**Time and Location**
đ **Time:** 9:30 AM â 12:30 NOON
đ» **Bring:** Your laptop, journal, or anything youâve been avoiding
**Hosted by**: NoCrastination. See you across from the ground floor bar âš you will see us sitting at the long table with our laptops
â Please do order something from the local host, so as to keep us in their good graces!
**Please arrive on time or during the break windows to avoid interrupting the focus sessions** đ
**Focus schedule:**
9:30 AM â 10:20 AM â Focus Block 1
10:35 AM â 11:20 AM â Focus Block 2
11:35 AM â 12:25 PM â Focus Block 3
**If you expect to arrive late, please come during one of these break windows:**
10:20 AM â 10:35 AM
11:20 AM â 11:35 AM
12:25 PM â 1:00 PM for Lunch + Pitch
Simple structure. Real progress.
**This is for you if:**
* You keep starting but donât finish
* You feel stuck working alone
* You want structure â without pressure
* You want to express yourself AND move forward
**What youâll get**
Not motivation. Not a productivity hack.
**Youâll get: ONE THING DONE.**
And then you come back, and do it again.
**This is how it starts**
You donât need to commit to anything big. Just come once. Pick one thing.
Finish it. Weâll be there. As weâre growing and improving the experience, weâre moving to a more structured system. Registration is part of participating.
**Stay connected**

**Youâre not behind. Youâre just in the middle.**
And you donât have to go through it alone. You are one of us.
Sunday Screenings in the Living Room
Weekly screenings from a large archive of many of the most significant, yet seldom seen and rarely accessible cinematic masterpieces in the history of film - from its earliest beginnings to the present day. Screenings are in original language, if English, or original language with English subtitles.
Films are selected democratically on the inspiration of a brief pre-screening discussion. The selected title is typically a "neglected gem" that most of us discover together for the first time. Individual taste is not a criterion and all participants are expected to put the interests of the group as a whole above personal preference or prejudice. In this sense, the emphasis is on openness, exploration, and surprise. Each screening is followed by an in-depth group discussion, led and moderated by the curator.
WARNNG: FilmStory is not just about watching movies! Rather, it's a socially responsible, intellectual engagement, involving an organic approach to group study of film language, philosophy, art, history, politics, and technology. In this sense, the film is always merely the current highlight in an explorative, ongoing group discussion.
**FilmStory** is a members-only series that involves a closely knit community of cinephiles. Events take place every Sunday in a comfortable, private setting with limited capacity. Participation is reserved primarily for regular members, but we're always ready to make new friends!
Non-regular members may request to meet the community and, upon acceptance as a "new joiner," are welcome to participate in one event, according to space availability. New joiners are asked to make a âŹ6 member dues contribution in advance of the requested date. New members receive a message of confirmation and the address of the Living Room in 1080 Vienna upon receipt of their dues contribution.
**FilmStory** is presented and hosted by **[KulturSalon Wien](https://www.meetup.com/kultursalon-wien/)**.
