**A Gentle Space for Inner Freedom (A special Meaningful Conversations event)** Viktor Frankl wrote that even in the most difficult circumstances, one inner freedom remains: the freedom to choose how to react to any given situation. This event begins in that space. Pain and challenging situations are part of being human. Life brings loss, sadness, the feeling of injustice, the sense of not being good enough, change, uncertainty, and limitation — often without explanation and without choice. This gathering is an invitation to pause, to step out of inner struggle for a moment, and to meet life as it is — with dignity and clarity. Through shared reflections and gentle guidance, the event opens a space where psychological clarity and spiritual depth can be practically experienced rather than just explained. A calm, respectful space to stop, listen, and reconnect with what remains steady and free, even when life is not. **This event is especially for you if you’re new to Dieter Langenecker’s work —** **Or if you’d like to reconnect with it.** It also offers a natural entry point into **the monthly Meaningful Conversations**, A gentle, ongoing space for staying connected to what truly matters And to live with greater depth and contentment. Tanja Odermatt & Dieter Langenecker PS: A contribution of € 15,- for room rent, coffee/tea, and cookies will be collected. **Watch this short video:** https://youtu.be/In8dqdxpCF4

**Comedy Factory: Vienna’s wild & international English Open Mic. Fresh jokes, new comedians & free entry every Saturday.** ## [GET YOUR TICKETS HERE!!!](https://www.universe.com/events/comedy-factory-english-open-mic-thecomedypub-tickets-46HDTR?ref=MeetUp) 🔥 Saturday nights start with laughter! Welcome to **Comedy Factory**, Vienna’s most international and experimental English Stand-up Comedy Open Mic. Every Saturday at 18:30, The Comedy Pub transforms into a comedy playground where fresh jokes are built, tested, and unleashed. ## Event Description: At **Comedy Factory**, anything can happen. New comedians step on stage for the very first time, while experienced performers bring their sharpest jokes and wildest new ideas. The result? A raw, unpredictable, and unforgettable night of comedy. With **10–12 comedians each week**, you’ll see a mix of bold experiments, risky punchlines, and polished sets. No two shows are ever the same – every Saturday offers a brand-new lineup of voices from Vienna’s thriving international comedy scene. This show is perfect if you’re: * an **Expat or international living in Vienna** looking for English comedy * a **local curious about stand-up culture** from around the world * a **tourist wanting a unique night out** in Vienna * or simply someone who loves to laugh at fresh, unfiltered comedy. ## 🤔 What is an Open Mic? An Open Mic is where comedy is born. Comedians test their newest material, experiment with wild ideas, and interact with the audience in real time. Sometimes the jokes kill, sometimes they bomb – but that’s exactly the fun. As an audience member, you get to witness comedy in its rawest form, up close and personal. ## 🍻 The Comedy Pub – Vienna’s Home of Stand-up The show takes place in **The Comedy Pub** (Kettenbrückengasse 7, 1050 Vienna). Unlike our underground cellar shows, **Comedy Factory happens upstairs in the main pub area** – bright, welcoming, international, and buzzing with energy. Grab a drink, settle in, and enjoy the only dedicated stand-up comedy club in Vienna. Centrally located right by **U4 Kettenbrückengasse station**, it’s the perfect meeting point before heading out into your Saturday night. ## 💡 Free Entry – Donations Welcome Comedy should be for everyone. That’s why entry is free! But if you had a great time (and you will 😉), we invite you to drop a donation in the bucket at the end of the show. It’s the best way to support the comedians who made you laugh. ## 🎟️ Audience Rules To keep the show fun and fair for everyone, we ask for a few simple things: * Be on time – comedy waits for no one. * Respect the stage – no talking during sets. * Laugh loud, clap hard – comedians feed off your energy. * No heckling – it never ends well. * Show love with a donation if you laughed. ## 🎉 Why Saturday? Because weekends deserve a big laugh. **Comedy Factory** is the perfect early-evening start to your Saturday – international, experimental, and guaranteed to surprise you. With a new lineup every week, it’s always fresh, always different, always funny. Start your night with us, then take the laughter out into Vienna. #ComedyFactoryVienna #EnglishComedyVienna #ViennaComedy #StandupVienna #ViennaNightlife #ViennaEvents #ComedyVienna #LiveComedyVienna #EnglishOpenMic #StandupComedyVienna #ViennaExpats #ExpatsInVienna #ComedyShowVienna #ViennaLaughs #FunnyInVienna #ComedyClubVienna #ViennaWeekend #SaturdayNightVienna #ViennaFun #ViennaThingsToDo #ComedyLifeVienna #ComedyCommunityVienna #ViennaTourists #InternationalComedy #WildComedyVienna #ExperimentalComedy #ViennaStage #ViennaCulture #ViennaNightOut #LaughsInVienna #ComedyHotspotVienna #ViennaStandupScene #ViennaLaughing #ComedyPubVienna #ViennaSaturday #ViennaLOL #ComedyAddictsVienna #ViennaGiggles #ComedyUndergroundVienna #ViennaHahaha

Sense. Breathe. Return to yourself. Due to the strong interest and warm response to the first workshop, this session is returning. In a world of speed, multitasking, and constant stimulation, true presence becomes a rare and powerful skill. This interactive workshop offers a space to slow down, reconnect with your body, and understand how mindfulness and meditation transforms your brain, your communication, and your moment-to-moment experience. Through a blend of neuroscience, mindfulness tools, introspection, pair- and group activities, we explore how the brain, body, and nervous system shape the way we feel, interact, and respond. You’ll learn how posture, breath, emotional signals, and internal narratives influence communication – and how mindful presence can shift everything. You’ll explore: ● The neuroscience of mindfulness, meditation and self-awareness. ● How feelings, needs, and body sensations shape your relationships. ● How to meet difficult emotions with curiosity and compassion. ● How to practice RAIN as a gentle, structured process. ● How Metta meditation softens the heart and supports resilience. ● How body language influences communication and nervous system safety. ● How breath and movements bring you back into the present moment. Ideal for anyone wanting to live and communicate with more clarity, intention, and authenticity – in body, mind, and heart. Please bring paper and a pen. Cash donation is appreciated. One third of the collected donations will be shared with the café, supporting this community space.

-Indoor Functional Training (All Levels) followed by Brunch!- Come for the sweat, stay for the nourish & chill! Once a month, on the first Saturday of the month, we combine our awesome, fun workout with some brunching! In the winter, we are graciously hosted by Superbude Wien Prater. After our fun functional training, we'll drift over to Café Brenner (also part of Superbude), find a spot to chill and enjoy the awesome location a bit longer. A nice chance to connect with the other lovely people that worked out with us and eat a little. They have all day breakfast!!! There is no obligation to stay after the workout, but of course, you are very welcome to! As always at My Pace, we'll bring our unique blend of playful and mindful elements to give you your fundamentally different functional training! If this is your first My Pace workout, expect HIIT, strength training with your own bodyweight and absolutely no seriousness! A reminder for those nervous about their fitness level: Everything we do, we do with all fitness levels in mind; so the exercises are always adjustable to your level and you’re always strongly encouraged to take it at your own pace! Infobox: • We meet and train in the event location of the Superbude Hotel called Transponder (if you are standing in front of the main entrance of the hotel, before going in, look to your right and we'll be the next door down) • You can always get in touch with Jason at +436802355041 (SMS or WhatsApp work best) or email us at office@mypace.at if you have any questions or need assistance (German or English) • We highly recommend bringing a water bottle! A mat/towel to lie on is also very good to have! • Please, please don't be late - the warm up is possibly the most important part of the workout! Plus it's kind of disrespectful to everyone else joining! • By participating in any My Pace workout, you confirm having read and understood the General Terms and Conditions as set out at https://www.mypace.at/legal-stuff and agree to be bound by them.

**Jenseits des Oberflächlichen – mit spiritueller Tiefe, praktischer Inspiration und in entspannter Atmosphäre.** *"Es gibt absolut nichts Falsches daran, auf der „Ebene der Form“ zu manifestieren – sei es materieller Wohlstand, kreative Errungenschaften oder Dinge dieser Art. Tatsächlich kann das Manifestieren auf diese Weise zu den lohnendsten und erfüllendsten Erfahrungen auf unserer menschlichen Reise gehören.* *Doch für viele von uns geht wahre Manifestation über die äußere Welt hinaus und dringt tiefer – in unser inneres Sein (und darüber hinaus)."* (N.N.) ### Einladung zu den nächsten **Spirituellen Gesprächen** Bist du es leid, Gespräche zu führen, die an der Oberfläche bleiben? Sehnst du dich nach Austausch, der inspiriert, berührt – und wirklich etwas in dir bewegt? Dann lade ich dich herzlich zu den **Spirituellen Gesprächen** ein: einer zweistündigen Zusammenkunft für Menschen, die sich nach Tiefe, Orientierung und einem sinnerfüllten Leben sehnen. Gemeinsam erforschen wir, wie es ist, im **Jetzt** zu leben – jenseits von Gedankenmustern, innerem Lärm und der rein verstandesmäßigen Sicht auf die Welt. ### Wer ist eingeladen? Menschen mitten im Leben (typischerweise 45+), die * äußerlich vieles erreicht haben, sich innerlich aber noch nicht ganz angekommen fühlen * eine tiefere spirituelle Verbindung und echten Sinn suchen * persönliche Begleitung und Austausch auf Augenhöhe schätzen ### Themen, in die wir gemeinsam eintauchen * **Spiritualität erforschen** – die Verbundenheit von Selbst und Leben entdecken * **Weisheit kultivieren** – innere Ruhe, Kraft und Klarheit wachsen lassen * **Mit Wandel umgehen** – Lebensübergänge bewusst gestalten * **Den eigenen Sinn erkennen** – was trägt dich wirklich? * **Dem Leben vertrauen** – Freude, Liebe und Offenheit zulassen Bring deine Gedanken, Fragen und das mit, was dich gerade bewegt. Wir teilen Einsichten, Erfahrungen und Impulse – ohne Dogma, ohne Belehrung. Diese Gespräche sind **frei von religiösen oder spirituellen Zugehörigkeiten**. ### Über mich Ich bin **Dieter Langenecker**, spiritueller Begleiter und Moderator für tiefgehende Gespräche. Seit vielen Jahren unterstütze ich Menschen dabei, innere Klarheit zu finden, ihrem eigenen Weg zu vertrauen und ein Leben zu gestalten, das sich stimmig und erfüllt anfühlt. 👉 *Hier kannst du dir ein Bild von meiner Arbeit machen:* **[Video](https://youtu.be/_BN4Ch42EUk)** Ein Nachmittag für **Tiefe, Offenheit und echte Verbindung**. Begegne Gleichgesinnten, lass dich inspirieren und genieße eine warme, ruhige Atmosphäre. Für Gebäck und Getränke ist gesorgt. **Beitrag:** € 15,- (zur Deckung der Kosten für Kaffee/Tee, gesunde Süßigkeiten und Raummiete) Bitte gib mir kurz Bescheid, falls du doch nicht teilnehmen kannst. Und sei bitte pünktlich. Falls das Haupttor geschlossen ist, nutze den Code **2008 + Schlüsselsymbol** oder schreibe mir unter **0681 1069 1321**. Wenn dich das anspricht, **melde dich jetzt an** und sei Teil einer tiefgehenden Gesprächsrunde. Ich freue mich auf dich. Dieter Langenecker [www.langenecker.com](http://www.langenecker.com/)

Hi Running fellows, Whether you’re a walker, new to running, a semi-pro, a marathonist or a sprint star - if you want to start your weekend in an active way and enjoy the outdoors in lovely surroundings with a fun, international and multilingual group of people, you are welcome to join us! Every Saturday at 9:30 am, we meet, we run, in the magnificent Schönbrunn park, and then we go for breakfast. Want to discuss politics or the best recipes for banana pancakes? Not a problem. Not feeling social? Tune out with your earbuds - we can talk over breakfast. We are casual. You can be too. What to expect: Start by meeting Adrian, Ali, Liz, Paul and Sonia on-time at 9:30am outside the Schönbrunn U-Bahn stop (exit Grünbergstraße). (Coordinates: 48.1858130, 16.3200640) From there, we walk to the side park entrance where the “running” part begins. The important thing is that you run at your own pace. Typically, small groups of people will run at the same pace as you, so you never have to walk/run alone :) We finish one hour later, at about 10:40am, reconvening just inside the Hietzinger Tor exit. (Coordinates: 48.1858825, 16.3032647). From there, we’re off to breakfast! Breakfast Details: Anker bakery opposite the U4 Hietzing station and depending on the weather, grab something for a picnic in Schönbrunn park, or hang out in the bakery. If you missed us earlier, you can always go there around 10:45. We are a fun group of runners who don’t take things too seriously. We meet, chat, RUN, stretch, chat, EAT and we hang out over a beer every now and then. It's that easy. Please join us for breakfast after the run! The more the merrier. Typically we are 10-30 people, as not everyone who comes signs up on meetup. Important disclaimer: Please only run as much as you feel you can, considering the temperature, weather conditions, your own fitness etc... run and walk at your own pace as the organizers do not assume any liability for any injuries or health issues. Sonia, Adrian, Ali, Paul and Liz

Inspired by our successful events like "Saturday Mornings @ East Market" and other "Pot Luck in the Park" lunches, this gathering promises to be a blend of fun conversations, language exchange, and cultural insights, all while sharing wonderful foods with each other. Please bring a dish to share and anything you would like to drink. We will provide plates, plastic silverware and napkins. So, come hungry and ready to chat!

Let's grab some coffee/food and share a morning chat! The East Market has an ample parking lot and outdoor and indoor seating. Grab a cup of coffee from Winston's Coffee & Waffles or on your way to East Market and meet us on the second floor - table behind or east of the elevator. Per what this group is about: "Everyone is welcome! International transplants to Columbus who want to improve language skills, Columbus residents who want to discuss international travel and culture, and anyone who enjoys getting together for good conversations."

We thought of one of the interesting things that can be enjoyed at this time of the year. We will be meeting at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church for a "Fish Fry" in Marian Hall on Friday, March 27th at 5:00 PM. It might be fun for you to experience what has become a tradition on the Fridays before Easter. They will have fried fish or baked fish, French fries and Cole slaw, as well as beverages, all for $16.00 for adults. They will have other beverages and desserts available for sale, as well. We have never tried this, and sometimes there are quite a few people at these events so we hope that we will be able to find each other easily. I'll try to have signs outside Marian Hall that Identify our group. We hope to have you join us!

This event is 2:30 - 4 pm Sunday. Conversation tends toward intermediate/advanced, but everybody is welcome. If you come and don't see us right away, keep looking. We could be anywhere in the restaurant.

The aim of this group is to get together and practice our German. Doesn’t matter if are a beginner or a native speaker. The goal is to speak and improve our German. Everyone is welcome! If the weather is good, look for us in the Biergarten. Pro Tip: Get there before 6:00 for happy hour pricing.
