Coding Club đťâ¤ď¸
**Hey everybody!**
Do you want to code together, share your projects, or just hang out in a creative atmosphere?
Then join us at the **Coding Club @ Jo&Joe Hostel**!
We usually start with a short introduction round so everyone can get to know each other.
After that, you can:
* share your achievements or pet projects (informal, just at the table)
* get feedback or inspiration from others
* or simply work on your own project alongside the group
Bring your laptop (or any device you like to code on) if you want to actively work.
Or just come by to connect and get inspired.
Please try to be on time so we can kick things off together.
Looking forward to seeing you there! đ
Science and Philosophy Discussion Table
This is a group for meeting new people, eating brunch, and having discussions about science, life, philosophy, politics, and people.
Anybody is free to join, and we charge no fees.
This discussion group aims to have the absolute minimal level of structure necessary to ensure the conversation remains engaging to the majority of people present. In particular, we \*don't\* have fixed order of speaking or timed statements.
So far, the balance we've struck is enforcing hand raising when conversation gets intense in order to minimize interruption, and to give the chair (me!) the power to occasionally call a snap election on the conversation topic.
Human Design Brunch @Zoku
Human Design isnât just theory, itâs a map back to your natural way of operating.
Stop pushing against the grain and start living in alignment. This 2 hour long interactive workshop is designed to bridge the gap between âknowingâ and âdoing.â Weâre skipping surface-level small talk to explore the deeper layers of human nature. Whether youâre completely new to Human Design or already familiar with it, youâll find a supportive, English-speaking community ready to help you trade resistance for flow.
***
## The Agenda
During this session, we will explore:
* **The Origin of Human Design** â Where it comes from and how this system was created
* **What Human Design Is** â The foundations of the system and how it works
* **The Human Design Types** â Understanding the different energy types and how they move through life
And to make things interactive and fun:
đ **Human Design Lottery**
At the end of the workshop, 1â2 participants will be selected to receive a **live mini chart reading**.
After the workshop, weâll open the space for **networking**, connection, and deeper conversations in a relaxed atmosphere.
***
## Your Toolkit
* **Your Stats:** Birth date, exact time, and location
* **A Notebook:** For those âaha!â moments youâll want to remember
* **The Vibe:** An open mind and a healthy dose of curiosity
***
## Investment
âŹ15 per person
Early Bird: âŹ10
***
## The Venue & After-Vibes
Weâre gathering at **Zoku Vienna**, a creative hub in the heart of the city. Since itâs Wednesday, Zoku features live music in the evening. Youâre warmly invited to stay after the workshop, enjoy the tunes, and connect with the community in a relaxed atmosphere.

## A Note on Attendance

DIY Technology Events This Week
Discover what is happening in the next few days
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/)**.
Modern Meditation and Connection Circle
Looking for a space to slow down, **meditate, and have thoughtful conversations with new people**?
Join me for an evening of shared silence and genuine connection.
**No meditation experience needed â just curiosity!**
**What to expect**
This isnât a meditation class. It is a space where mindfulness and community meet.
Each Circle has three simple parts:
**Meditation â Conversation â Connection**
⢠**Meditation:** a short (around 20 min) meditation, where I give minimal guidance and we sit in silence together
⢠**Conversations**: afterwards we create a safe space for conversations that go beyond small talk. We explore how mindfulness can impact different areas of our lives, with a new topic in each circle. You may share or just observe and gain new insights, both are welcome!
⢠**Community:** in the end there will be plenty of time to connect with others in a non-structured format around tea and snacks. Something I've been missing when doing meditation classes elsewhere. To connect with like-minded people!
**Background:**
Hi, Iâm Katja. Iâve been meditating for over a decade. Why the practice brought tremendous benefits into my life and made me a genuinely happier person, I always felt something was missing: **a non-religious community around it.**
A space for people who meditate, or are curious about it, but also crave deep, authentic connections with others. Where we can meditate together and talk about the benefits and challenges that come with the practice. To **turn** **it from a solitary practice into a shared experience.**
Come join me, if that resonates with you!
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
**Costs:**
It's a free event but a contribution to the room and tea/snacks would be very much appreciated to keep it going!
**Please reserve your spot for free via Luma!**
https://luma.com/rw3lrkcx
**(and please cancel if you can't make it after all)**
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
*For more info, please see www.kinspace.at*
**FAQs**
* Can I come alone?
Absolutely. The purpose of the circle is to make it easy to meet others in a natural and relaxed way.
* In what language will the circle be held?
The main session will be held in English to keep it inclusive for everyone.
During breakout conversations, youâre welcome to speak German or any other language if others in the group share it.
* Is this similar to authentic relating?
The circle has a simple and accessible structure focused on meditation and meaningful conversation. While itâs not an authentic relating event per se, some people may notice similarities in the way it creates space for presence, openness, and genuine connection.
* Do I need meditation experience?
Not at all. Beginners are very welcome. Iâll provide simple guidance to help you settle in.
* Do I have to speak during the circle?
No. Sharing is always optional. Youâre welcome to simply listen and observe.
We do ask that what is shared in the circle stays in the circle, creating a space of trust.
* What should I bring?
Just come as you are. Comfortable everyday clothes are perfect.
To respect the shared silence, I'd ask that phones are turned off and put away during the circle.
* What if Iâm running late?
To preserve the atmosphere of the circle, we'll start on time.
Please try to arrive 5â10 minutes early.

Sunday TaiJi-QiGong at Stadtpark
Join the TaiJi-QiGong weekly practise! It is open for all levels and beginner friendly. :)
If you want to join please sign in/out as the class will only take place if enugh people join (min. 3, but there is additional another whattsapp group with more people joining)
The price is 13âŹ/ unit.
A few more words about this practise: it consists of bodywork - specific exercises designed to release tension and stress in your body. It also includes joint opening and the actual QiGong practise.
This QiGong you could call Yin-Jang QiGong, as it prepares you for TaiJi (Wu style).
This means it is designed to create balance in your body and movement, restructuring old unhealthy movement patterns and aligning your body.
Also central part of this practise (the most powerful one) is that it leads to inner silence, connecting you with your body and silencing your mind. In this silence many virtues as patience, respect, perseverence, discipline... arise/ are transmitted. It is especially beneficial to strngthen your ability to focus and for stress relief.
If you have any questions, want to join the whattsappgroup or want more informations feel free to text me or write an email: simone_tomasi@yahoo.com
The event will take place also with rainy weather!

CineTour Classics: Coma (1978) @ Breitenseer Lichtspiele (EN)
First and foremost - join our Telegram Channel!
[https://t.me/cinetour](https://t.me/cinetour)
Boston medical resident Susan Wheeler (Geneviève Bujold) becomes suspicious when her friend (Lois Chiles) is left in an irreversible coma after a routine procedure. Once she uncovers evidence of other patients being left in comas after undergoing procedures in the same operating room, she fears a conspiracy is afoot. When her physician boyfriend, Mark Bellows (Michael Douglas), is skeptical about her findings, Susan must go it alone to uncover the horrible truth.
\*\*\*
*HOW*
**If you can't find us before/after the movie, write me a PM (Farit, the host) or post a message to this event, I monitor it during the meetup and will pick you up.**
We meet at 18:30 at Breitenseer Biergartl (Huttengasse 1), and and shortly before the movie we go together to the theatre.
[Buy tickets - Coma](https://breitenseer-lichtspiele.at/event/retro-vision-coma-1978)

**Psychoanalysis A Curiosity about the mind 6min**
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcmVjQBF4MQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcmVjQBF4MQ)
Psychoanalysis = a theory and practice treating symptoms and personality as **disguised compromises** around unconscious conflicts, using a structured relationship (transference) to make those patterns visible so you can **repeat less blindly** and **choose a bit more freely**.
"Until you ***make the unconscious conscious***, it will direct your life and you will call it fate." Carl Jung

**Interpersonal Process Group**
**Psychodynamic shared exploration, learning and growth**
Interpersonal process groups focus on the interactions and dynamics between group members to facilitate personal growth and learning. These groups provide a courageous space for individuals to explore their interpersonal patterns, receive feedback, and develop more effective social skills.
**The core principle is that the group itself becomes a microcosm of a member's real-life relationships, allowing for insights and behavioral changes.**
Key aspects of interpersonal process groups:
* **Exploration of Interpersonal Dynamics:**
Members examine their communication styles, relationship patterns, and how they relate to others within the group.
* **Feedback and Self-Awareness:**
The group provides a platform for members to receive feedback on their behaviors and develop greater self-awareness.
* **Development of Social Skills:**
Members practice new ways of relating, communicating, and collaborating within the group, leading to improved social skills.
* **Microcosm of Relationships:**
The group mirrors real-life relationships, allowing members to observe and analyze their patterns in a safe and controlled setting.
* **Personal Growth and Well-being:**
Through these processes, individuals can experience significant personal growth and enhanced well-being.
Benefits of participating in an interpersonal process group:
* **Increased self-awareness:** Understanding one's own behavior and its impact on others.
* **Improved communication skills:** Learning to communicate more effectively and assertively.
* **Stronger relationships:** Developing more fulfilling and meaningful relationships.
* **Reduced anxiety and stress:** Finding support and coping mechanisms for social challenges.
* **Enhanced empathy and understanding:** Learning to see situations from others' perspectives.
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
Join us for an exciting meeting of personal growth as we delve deep into the realm of self-development. This meetup is designed for personal growth addicts like you who are eager to unlock their hidden potential and take charge of their lives.

Hands-On : GitHub Copilot SpecKit
**Agenda :**
* 4.45 to 5.00 PM ET: Food and Networking
* 5.00 to 5.50 PM ET: "Hands-On : GitHub Copilot SpecKit"
Hello Everyone! Please join us for our April 14th edition of the AI-ML MeetUp. **Please note this is an in-person meeting and light refreshments/food will be provided. You will need a government-issued ID to enter the facility.**
**Title:** Hands-On : GitHub Copilot SpecKit
**Description:** Spec-Driven Development **flips the script** on traditional software development. For decades, code has been king â specifications were just scaffolding we built and discarded once the "real work" of coding began. Spec-Driven Development changes this: **specifications become executable**, directly generating working implementations rather than just guiding them. In this hands-on lab, we will be covering building your application using SpecKit. Pre-requisites: VSCode v1.107, GitHub Copilot, Python 3.13 + uv, Git installed.
**Location:** The meeting will be hosted in the Applied Information Sciences ( AIS ) office in Reston, at 11440 Commerce Park Dr # 600 ¡ Reston, VA. The location is also right off the Silver Line metro's Wiehle-Reston Metro Station.
**Parking:** Parking is paid and can be validated at the AIS office reception.
We will meet in Room Lake Anne.
We hope to see you all there!!!!

**âThis was such an awesome event! ⌠Once you see that you canât unsee it. Itâs in the making and you will start to discover ways to make that dream materialize.â â Tracy J.** (Comment from January 2026 AI Vision Board session)
***
**âď¸ Not Just a Vision Board â A Mirror**
Midlife isnât a crisis. Itâs your comeback story.
This immersive is built around the **R.I.C.H. Quadrantâ˘**:
⢠Relationships â who you let in
⢠Ideal Life â what you actually want
⢠Career/Finance â how you show up
⢠Health â the energy that fuels it all
If youâd like a deeper look at the framework, you can preview it here:
đ [https://midlifereinvention.co/blog/f/the-rich-quadrant%E2%84%A2-living-with-clarity-in-every-part-of-life](https://midlifereinvention.co/blog/f/the-rich-quadrant%E2%84%A2-living-with-clarity-in-every-part-of-life)
**In under 5 minutes, youâll uncover your values.**
And when your vision board is aligned with that truth?
It stops being decorative â and starts becoming directional.
People often have multiple âahaâ moments during this session.
Not because itâs dramatic â but because something quietly clicks.
***
**đ What the Day Feels Like**
This isnât a lecture. Itâs structured, but human. Itâs focused, but energizing.
**Morning â** Identify your core values + 2 priority quadrants.
**Midday â** Lunch + intentional networking.
**Afternoon â** Complete the remaining 2 quadrants + short coffee reset.
***
**đť Laptop Required â Please Ensure ChatGPT Is Logged In Before Arrival đť**
This workshop moves quickly and works best on a laptop.
⢠**Laptop required** (phones will not work well for this experience. **iPads** may be used, but the experience is significantly smoother on a laptop.)

NoVABeerSec - April 29th @Aslin Beer Company (Herndon, VA)
The next NoVABeerSec event - "Informal Gathering of Security Minds Over Beer" will be Wednesday, April 29th, 5:30PM til 7:30ish at Aslin Beer Company - Herndon Taproom (767 Elden St., Herndon VA 20170).
**Venue for April:** Aslin Beer Company (https://www.aslinbeer.com) - Aslin Beer Co. was founded in 2015 by Andrew Kelley and Kai Leszkowicz. The name, Aslin, comes from the family that connected Andrew and Kai through marriage; they each married a daughter from the Aslin Family. Andrewâs professional background was in finance and consulting, while Kai worked in public service. They bonded over a shared interest of craft beer and home-brewing, which eventually lead to the idea that âWe can do this too.â
**Additional Info:** We are an inclusive group, so if we missed anyone please let us know or if you want to bring your significant other/spouse please do. We do know there are folks that have changed roles since we last met so please also let us know if we need to add new contact info for people. Have a great week and see you later this month!
Cheers,
Rinaldi Rampen & Mike McCabe
