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 — 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

Badminton Saturday at Racketworld U3 Kendlerstraße 11.00am-1.00pm
This event is part of our weekly event series
\-\-\-
Hey Badminton Enthusiasts!
This meet-up is for all levels: beginners, intermediates and experts. Everyone is welcome to join, test their skills and have some fun together!
The host will reserve courts in advance, that means please only register if you really plan to come (or cancel at least 24 hours before the event starts). The fee for this event is 12€ (for the 2 hours). If you plan on paying in cash, please bring the exact amount as the host might not have any change available.
We are meeting at about 10.55 near the reception by the lounge area (next to the courts). Come a bit earlier so you have time to change into workout/sports clothes. The locker rooms are free to use, but you need to bring your own padlock - or you can also take your bag of clothes upstairs to the courts if you do not have a padlock. Also, bring clean indoor sports shoes, your racket and a water bottle with you.
If you do not have a racket, it is possible to rent rackets from the club, if necessary (3€). Sometimes the host or other members have spare rackets - please ask in the comment section below!
If you are joining our events for the first time, WELCOME! Let the host know that you are new and they will find a place for you. Don't worry, we are an open and friendly group. We are sure you will develop connections with the people in our community in no time!
**Without further ado - let's play some badminton and have fun together**

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

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 €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/)**.
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.

Queer Book Club Vienna – Who’s Afraid of Gender? by Judith Butler
## **A Queer Book Club Exploring Gender, Politics, and Power**
Join us this April for our Queer Book Club at Villa Vida Café as we dive into *Who’s Afraid of Gender?* by Judith Butler — one of the most influential thinkers in contemporary gender theory.
In this session, we’ll unpack Butler’s latest work, which examines how “gender” has become a political flashpoint across the world. The book explores how anti-gender movements operate, what’s at stake, and how language, fear, and power shape public discourse.
This is a space for collective reading, critical thinking, and community exchange. No academic background needed—just curiosity and openness.
***
## **About the Book**
*Who’s Afraid of Gender?* looks at the global backlash against gender theory and LGBTQIA+ rights. Butler analyzes how gender has been framed as a threat in political rhetoric, and what this reveals about broader struggles over democracy, freedom, and identity.
Expect themes like:
* Anti-gender movements and moral panic
* The politics of language and framing
* Queer and trans resistance
* Power, fear, and ideology
***

* **Date:** Sunday, April 12, 2026
* **Time:** 14:00

Human Design Brunch @Zoku
Human Design isn’t just theory, it’s 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 “knowing” and “doing.” We’re skipping surface-level small talk to explore the deeper layers of human nature.

## The Agenda
During this session, we will explore:
* **The Origin of Human Design** – Where it comes from and how this system was created
* **What Human Design Is** – The foundations of the system and how it works
* **The Human Design Types** – Understanding the different energy types and how they move through life
And to make things interactive and fun:
🎟 **Human Design Lottery**
At the end of the workshop, 1–2 participants will be selected to receive a **live mini chart reading**.
After the workshop, we’ll 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 “aha!” moments you’ll want to remember

## The Venue & After-Vibes
We’re gathering at **Zoku Vienna**, a creative hub in the heart of the city. Since it’s Wednesday, Zoku features live music in the evening. You’re warmly invited to stay after the workshop, enjoy the tunes, and connect with the community in a relaxed atmosphere.
***
## A Note on Attendance
Please only sign up if you are certain you can attend. We coordinate seating directly with the venue based on our numbers, so an accurate headcount is essential to ensure we have the perfect space for everyone.
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.

What If Your AI Could Be a Team? - Chad Green

**Abstract**
GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise.
We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration.
Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team.
