DIY (Do It Yourself)

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. 🌿Limited 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 🌿Date: 24th of June 🌿Time: 07:30—10:00 (it might take longer, depending on group tempo) 🌿Location: DooBeeDoo Goodies Atelier (Märzstraße 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. You’ll 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, we’ll move through a calm, meditative process, each gesture connecting thought, breath, and creation in quiet balance. By the end, you’ll 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 — 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. 🌿🌿🌿 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.

In this special Sun/Star Edition of SODAI – Straw, Form and Wind, we will create a radiant ornament inspired by one of the oldest and most enduring symbols in Baltic folk culture: the sun. Crafted from simple natural straw, these luminous forms have long been associated with light, vitality, protection, abundance, and the ever-turning cycle of life. Though distinct from the hanging geometry of traditional Sodai, the straw sun shares the same quiet beauty, symbolism, and connection to nature that have made straw craftsmanship a cherished tradition for generations. In this workshop, we will learn how to prepare, shape, and assemble straw into a delicate sun or star form. Piece by piece, individual elements come together in harmonious balance, transforming humble natural materials into an ornament that feels both timeless and radiant. As your hands work with the straw, you will discover how repetition, attention, and patience can turn simple actions into a meditative and deeply rewarding creative process. You’ll learn the fundamental techniques needed to construct the ornament while experiencing the quiet focus that traditional handcrafts naturally invite. Each step offers an opportunity to slow down, observe, and create with intention, allowing the mind to settle while the form gradually emerges. By the end of the workshop, you’ll leave with your own handmade straw sun or star, carrying both cultural heritage and your personal creative touch. More than an ornament, it becomes a symbol of warmth, light, and the timeless human desire to bring beauty and meaning into everyday life. To keep the experience personal and attentive, the group will be small and intimate, allowing every participant to receive individual guidance and support throughout the process. Suitable for both returning and first-time participants. While inspired by traditional Sodai craftsmanship, this workshop focuses on creating a straw sun/star ornament, a distinct form with its own symbolism and construction techniques. This workshop invites you to slow down, focus, and reconnect, with your hands, your thoughts, and the quiet poetry of simple materials. No previous experience is needed, only patient hands, a curious mind, and an eye for quiet detail. 🌿🌿🌿 Humming Traditions is a series of creative workshops that explore the living, breathing essence of cultural practices.

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 don’t need to be an entrepreneur. You just need something you want to move forward. **What happens here** You bring something you’ve been putting off. We sit down together. We focus. And you leave with something done. That’s it. And that’s everything. **Why people keep coming back** * “I finally follow through on what I plan” * “I leave with real progress every time” **Time and Location** 🕐 **Time:** 9:30 AM – 12:30 NOON 💻 **Bring:** Your laptop, journal, or anything you’ve been avoiding **Hosted by**: NoCrastination.

Real progress. **This is for you if:** * You keep starting but don’t finish * You feel stuck working alone * You want structure — without pressure * You want to express yourself AND move forward **What you’ll get** Not motivation. Not a productivity hack. **You’ll get: ONE THING DONE.** And then you come back, and do it again. **This is how it starts** You don’t need to commit to anything big. Just come once. Pick one thing. Finish it. We’ll be there. As we’re growing and improving the experience, we’re moving to a more structured system.

This practical webinar is designed for self-employed professionals and small business owners in Austria who want to become easier to find, easier to trust, and easier to choose - both on Google and in AI-driven search. Save your spot: [https://www.self-employed.at/event-details-registration/boost-your-google-ai-visibility-practical-visibility-steps-you-can-implement-tomorrow](https://www.self-employed.at/event-details-registration/boost-your-google-ai-visibility-practical-visibility-steps-you-can-implement-tomorrow) About the event Google is no longer the only place people search for solutions. Today, your potential customers are also asking tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and other AI systems for recommendations. The question is: Will your business show up when they are looking? This practical webinar is designed for self-employed professionals and small business owners in Austria who want to become easier to find, easier to trust, and easier to choose — both on Google and in AI-driven search. You will leave with clear, realistic actions you can start implementing the next day. What this webinar is about: Many businesses want quick visibility. They ask: “How do I get to number one on Google?” “How do I appear in ChatGPT?” “How do I make my content perform better?” These are valid questions, but they often focus on speed instead of substance. The businesses that win long term are not the ones chasing shortcuts. They are the ones that clearly understand their audience, build trust consistently, and position themselves in the places where buying decisions are made. This webinar will show you how to start doing exactly that. In this session, you will learn: How Google and AI search are changing the way people discover businesses Why being visible is no longer just about rankings, but also about trust and authority What makes a business more likely to be found, understood, and recommended online How to identify the search terms, questions, and topics your audience actually cares about How to improve your website content so it speaks to both people and search systems What practical steps you can take tomorrow to strengthen your online visibility How to think long term instead of chasing short-term tactics Who this is for: This webinar is for you if you are: A freelancer, consultant, coach, service provider, or small business owner Trying to attract more consistent inquiries through your website Interested in SEO, Google visibility, and AI search, but unsure where to start Tired of random marketing tips You do not need advanced technical knowledge. The session is practical, accessible, and focused on actions you can realistically implement. Why this matters now: Search behavior is changing. People still use Google, but they are also using AI tools to compare options, understand services, and make buying decisions. That means your business needs more than a few keywords on a website. You need clarity. You need content that answers real customer questions. You need trust signals. You need a presence that helps both humans and search systems understand who you are, what you do, and why you are relevant. This is especially important for self-employed professionals, because trust is often the deciding factor before someone reaches out. About the speaker: The webinar is led by [Rilwan Mogaji ](https://www.linkedin.com/in/rilwan-mogaji-digital/)\- the co\-founder of [Mogaji Digital Communications](https://seo-agenturwien.at/en/), an SEO agency based in Vienna.

He also publishes industry-related articles on platforms such as [unternehmer.de](http://unternehmer.de/) and [designenlassen.de](http://designenlassen.de/). His mission is to help companies move away from short-term marketing tricks and toward long-term positioning built on clarity, consistency, trust, and a genuine understanding of their audience. You will walk away with: A clearer understanding of how Google and AI visibility work A practical checklist of improvements you can make to your online presence Ideas for content that directly answers your audience’s real questions A better understanding of how to build trust through your website and digital presence A long-term mindset for attracting more relevant customers online Event details: Date: June 25 Time: 17:00 Location: Online via Zoom Duration: 1.5–2 hours Format: Live webinar with practical examples and implementation-focused guidance Save your spot: [https://www.self-employed.at/event-details-registration/boost-your-google-ai-visibility-practical-visibility-steps-you-can-implement-tomorrow](https://www.self-employed.at/event-details-registration/boost-your-google-ai-visibility-practical-visibility-steps-you-can-implement-tomorrow)

In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure.
