**You’re neurodivergent? A parent? In Vienna?** Parenting can be a lot — and even more so when your brain works a little differently. But you don’t have to be alone with this. Don’t miss the upcoming meetup for neurodivergent parents — kids play, adults connect. Gentle space, real talk, no pressure 🌱 📍 Join us in Stadtpark Your host: Jennifer M.S. Granic, a mother of two — 14 and 4-year-old — kids and an educator both freelance and for the Bildungsdirektion Wien. **✨ What to expect:** * A relaxed, peer-led hangout — not a workshop, not a therapy session. * Conversations that ebb and flow naturally, shaped by whoever’s present. * A child-friendly setting that still centers adult connection. * Space to be quiet or chatty, tired or upbeat — all modes welcome. * English-speaking, but language fluency isn’t a requirement. Deutsch reden wir sicher auch. * Bring a blanket and some snacks, and whatever makes you feel comfortable. Let’s make space for each other — and for ourselves. 🌿 ℹ️ **ALL INFO: PLEASE READ THE GROUP DESCRIPTION** ℹ️ See you soon!

Wenn du gerne die menschliche Figur zeichnest und in einer künstlerischen und respektvollen Atmosphäre mit Aktmodell üben möchtest, lade ich dich herzlich zu unseren regelmäßigen Sessions ein. Die Veranstaltungen finden jeden Mittwoch und Freitag in meinem Atelier statt, wo dich ein ruhiger und kreativer Raum erwartet, der dem Studium des menschlichen Körpers gewidmet ist. Die Sessions stehen sowohl erfahrenen Künstlern als auch Anfängerinnen und Anfängern offen. Du bist herzlich willkommen, dabei zu sein und diesen Moment der Kreativität zu teilen!. If you enjoy drawing the human figure and would like to practice with a nude model in a respectful and artistic environment, I warmly invite you to join our regular sessions. The event takes place every Wednesday and Friday in my atelier, where you can enjoy a calm and creative space dedicated to the study of the human body. The sessions are open to experienced artists as well as beginners. You are welcome to join and share this creative moment!

Was gibt es Faszinierenderes, als die menschliche Psychologie zu entschlüsseln und zu lernen, wie man Menschen liest? Zu erkennen, was ein Blick, ein Zögern oder eine minimale Veränderung in der Stimme bedeutet, ist eine echte Superkraft. Und das Beste daran: Am schnellsten und intensivsten lernen wir, wenn es richtig viel Spaß macht, nämlich mitten im Spiel, beim gemeinsamen Lachen und Ausprobieren! Genau darum dreht sich diese Gesellschaftsspielerunde! Hier stehen **Secret Identity & Social Deduction Games** im Mittelpunkt. Wir machen einen eigenen Spiele-Tisch für Social Deduction Games beim öffentlichen Spieleabend in der Pauluskirche. Das Spieleabend ist gratis. Da ich begrenzte Plätze am Spieletisch habe, muss ich das Event begrenzen. ### Was sind Social Deduction Games? Bei diesen Spielen bekommt jeder eine geheime Identität zugewiesen. Die Gruppe ist aufgeteilt: Die meisten spielen ehrlich, doch einige wenige sind die geheimen Saboteure (bekannt aus Klassikern wie *Werwölfe*). Das Ziel? Durch Diskussionen, Bluffen, gezieltes Fragen und Beobachtung der Körpersprache herauszufinden, wer die Wahrheit sagt und wer lügt. Ergänzend werden an diesem Abend eventuell auch ein paar normale Deduktionsspiele auf den Tisch kommen, bei denen es statt um das Lesen von Menschen eher um messerscharfe Logik, das Kombinieren von Hinweisen und das Lösen von Rätseln geht. ### Das erwartet dich: * **Reine Praxis statt grauer Theorie:** Keine komplizierten Regelstudien vorab – alle Spiele werden vor Ort direkt und einfach erklärt. * **Spielerische Selbsterfahrung:** Teste deine Intuition, schärfe deine Menschenkenntnis und experimentiere mit deiner eigenen Überzeugungskraft. * **Jede Menge Spaß:** Erlebe einen dynamischen Abend voller Nervenkitzel, Wendungen und guter Gespräche. Egal, ob Profi-Bluffer oder absoluter Neuling – komm vorbei, spiel mit und lerne die Kunst des Menschenlesens von einer ganz neuen Seite kennen! \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- What could be more fascinating than decoding human psychology and learning how to read people? Recognizing what a look, a hesitation, or a subtle shift in someone's voice means is a true superpower. And the best part: we learn fastest and most intensely when we are having real fun—right in the middle of a game, laughing and experimenting together! That is exactly what this board game round is all about! The main focus here is on Secret Identity & Social Deduction Games. We are setting up a dedicated table for Social Deduction Games at the public board game night in the Pauluskirche. The board game night itself is free of charge. Since spots at our gaming table are limited, I have to limit the capacity for this event. **What are Social Deduction Games?** In these games, everyone is assigned a secret identity. The group is divided: most play honestly, but a select few are secret saboteurs (as seen in classics like Werewolves). The goal? To find out who is telling the truth and who is lying through discussions, bluffing, targeted questioning, and observing body language. In addition, we might also bring a few standard deduction games to the table, which focus on razor-sharp logic, combining clues, and solving puzzles rather than reading people. **What to expect:** Pure practice instead of dry theory: No complicated rulebooks to study beforehand—all games will be explained directly and simply on-site. Playful self-discovery: Test your intuition, sharpen your people skills, and experiment with your own power of persuasion. Tons of fun: Experience a dynamic evening full of thrills, twists, and great conversations. Whether you are a master bluffer or an absolute beginner—come by, play along, and learn the art of reading people from a whole new perspective!

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 €6 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/)**.
