A small donation towards their cause helps them a lot.
Meaningful Connections
*A gentle gathering for friendship, love, and real human depth*
**Genuine connection can sometimes feel rare.**
We meet many people.
We exchange words.
We scroll, we swipe.
And still, something deeper remains untouched.
**This is not a dating event**.
Not networking.
Not therapy.
It is a gently guided evening for thoughtful adults who value depth over small talk and who long for meaningful connection â whether friendship, love, or simply resonance.
Through guided conversations and reflective moments, we create a relaxed and respectful space to meet beyond roles and expectations.
You may leave with a new acquaintance, a spark, or simply the quiet reassurance that depth still exists.
For women and men 40+.
Limited group size to maintain quality and balance.
I look forward to welcoming you.
Warmly,
Dieter

Open Dialogue â Discovering Together in Vienna
We will meet in a calm and friendly place ( Parc, CafĂŠ, Restaurant) to explore together some of Jiddu Krishnamurtiâs key questions about awareness, relationship, and freedom.
There will be no teaching, no authority â only open dialogue and attentive listening.
Everyone is welcome, whether you are familiar with Jiddu Krishnamurti or simply curious about life and self-understanding.
Weâll start with an open conversation around a theme such as âListening without judgmentâ or âCan thought bring clarity?â
Please bring openness, curiosity, and a readiness to listen â no books or notes needed.
The spirit is not to discuss âwhat should be,â but to observe together âwhat is.â

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)
We recommend to buy your ticket as soon as possible!
Usually, after the movie we just chat a bit about it for a moment in front of the cinema. So don't run away, if you don't have to.

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/)**.
Tango Argentino Basics
*Included in the new [Tango Learning Pass](https://www.jessicagerdel.com/tango-learning-pass/) â* A grounded, embodied approach to Tango Argentino for beginners building foundations and improvers seeking clarity, depth, and freedom.
**Every Sunday (except during our Tango Immersion Weekends)**, we explore the essentials of Tango Argentino focusing not only on what to do, but on how and why we move the way we do in this dance.
⨠**No previous experience required**, just curiosity to work with essential principles that allow you to understand the Tango Argentino language sooner, and adapt easier to real social dance situations.
**⨠Experienced dancers refine technique and efficiency of their movements**
⨠**You can come with or without a dance partner**, and learn the role(s) of your choice (Jessica encourages to learn both).
⨠**Each class is followed by our Focused Pråctica**, a guided practice gathering for all levels, where you can take time to socialize and integrate what you learned, ask questions, receive feedback, and practice in a relaxed and supportive environment.
### **Dates & Time**
**Sundays** (except during the Tango Immersion intensive weekends \* check [agenda](https://www.jessicagerdel.com/#agenda) for specific dates)
**19:00â20:00** Tango Basics Class
**20:00â22:00** Practice Gathering with feedback
### **đ Location**
EWTO Akademie â **Breitenseer StraĂe 6, 1140 Wien**
### **Registration**
Drop-in possible. Registration at jessicagerdel.com is recommended.
**The [Tango Learning Pass](https://www.jessicagerdel.com/tango-learning-pass/) includes all our weekly classes (Wednesday and this Sunday course) and the practice sessions.**
âŹ20 per person per class
âŹ15 per person per Guided Practice session
âŹ85 pack of 4 classes in a row + Guided Practice sessions after each class
Young students and people with limited income can request a 20% partial scholarship via email or in person.
PS. This course doesn't include classes on April 19th, May 17th, June 21st and July 19th because of Jessica's [Tango Immersion](https://www.jessicagerdel.com/tangoimmersion) Weekends. She'll guide you on which workshops are suitable for beginners if you want to join us those weekends too.
**Teaching approach**
Spoiler alert: This is not about copying and memorizing steps.
Jessica's teaching focus is on body awareness, connection, and developing good habits from the start â so what you learn works in real social dance situations and truly supports your dance in the long term.

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.

Drunken
This month's prompt concerns the idea of the âwarrior philosopherâ (seemed appropriate in these times)--that is someone whose understanding of violence, power, and justice is forged through direct experience of war. We are looking at Major General Smedley D. Butler, a highly decorated U.S. Marine raised in a Quaker (pacifist) tradition who later became a prominent critic of American militarism (there is a wonderful biography of Gen. Butler called "Gangsters of Capitalism")
Butler's argument in *War Is a Racket* (1935): that many U.S. interventions were driven less by national defense than by corporate and financial interests, with Butler portraying himself as an enforcer for business and Wall Street. We can consider the moral ambiguity of his insider critiqueâwhether complicity strengthens or undermines credibility and also consider some of the concrete reforms he proposed (e.g., âconscriptâ capital before soldiers, restrict the military to coastal defense, and have only those who fight decide on war).
Butlerâs life arc clearly changed from pacifist upbringing to warrior to antiwar crusaderâand asks whether true understanding of peace requires firsthand knowledge of war, and what that implies about the cost of suffering. So do we need to suffer to understand suffering? Do we have to experience war to appreciate peace? As one more question: in the movie "A Few Good Men" Jack Nicholson's character says that "you have the luxury of not knowing what I know" so do most of us go through life oblivious to real violence and suffering? See you at Drunken Philosophy!
CMG Gives Back: Serve Brunch at FAITH MISSION GRANT KITCHEN!
Join us as we get together to get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event! We have a great little community of Movie Group friends so rather than see a movie this time, weâll help âcreate a better worldâ by helping serve those in need. Here are complete details and our plan for this event:
FAITH MISSION â GRANT KITCHEN: The Faith Mission kitchen and dining room serves residents 3 meals a day, every day of the year. For this event, our group will help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents in the dining room, wash dishes, and clean surfaces.
PLAN: We will be preparing / serving / cleaning for BRUNCH from 10:30am to 12:30pm and have space for a total of 7 volunteers. Please arrive at 10:20am and wear closed-toe shoes and long pants.
LOCATION: Faith Mission â Grant Kitchen is located at 245 N. Grant Ave. Enter the kitchen at Dock 1 (in the back of the building), indicated in the attached map. On-site parking in the adjacent lot and street parking is available in the surrounding area. Below are some links / attachments with additional info/details:
IMPORTANT REMINDER: Our group will be providing all of the volunteers on this day so a firm RSVP count is essential. Please only sign up if you are certain youâll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please try to update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. With few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1
week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve. Our Partner Agency for this event is Lutheran Social Services! A huge THANK YOU to all of YOU for volunteering at this (and any of our previous) CMG Gives Back events!
Should be a good/fun/meaningful time together, Dan
