Table de conversation en francais @ CafĂŠ Merkur
On se rencontre chaque mercredi pour parler français. Parmi nous, il y a des gens qui ont le français comme langue maternelle, et des gens qui aiment le français et le maÎtrisent plus ou moins. On aime discuter et parler de tout et de rien, et on est toujours content de recevoir des gens qui sont de passage ou des nouvelles personnes qui veulent Êcouter, parler, pratiquer ou poser des questions.
Cette semaine, on retourne au CafĂŠ Merkur, CafĂŠ sympa et calme avec une cuisine de mediteranĂŠe orientale.
La table est toujours gÊrÊe d'une façon très libre et relaxÊe, on se rencontre et on parle aux autres participants et participantes autour de nous.
NOTE: Si vous comptez venir, inscrivez-vous s'il vous plaĂŽt, pour qu'on puisse prĂŠvoir assez (mais pas trop non plus) d'espace au restaurant.
Comme ça, on sera à l'aise et l'endroit qui nous accueille aussi.
On commence à 18h30 , mais ce n'est pas un problème de rejoindre après.
Normalement, il y a au moins une dizaine de personnes qui vient aux rencontres.
Cette rencontre est aussi annoncĂŠe sur notre groupe facebook ("Vienna French Meetings")
A mercredi alors!

Photo Walk - Gasometer to Ostbahnsteg
Join me for a photo walk :)
We will gather at Gasometer (in front of Apotheke - straight out of Ubahn). After a short introduction we will walk around the 4 iconic buildings, then make our way to Ostbahnsteg, where a view over Donaukanal awaits. At the end of the walk everyone is welcome to join for a warm drink at a nearby cafe.
The event is free of charge but will be limited to max 10 people as it is meant as an opportunity to connect, and the park is the perfect location for losing parts of a group. It is suitable for all regardless of age/level/gear.
IMPORTANT: as these events are usually full, please make sure to cancel at least 24h in advance if you see you aren´t able to make it. Failing to do so will result in a ban from the next 3 events.

LANGUAGE EXCHANGE & SOCIALIZING in vienna
Hello !

We meet every Saturday at 7:30 PM in the heart of the city.
Whether youâre a backpacker passing through or a Viennese local curious about the world,

The High Performance Nervous System - Tea Circle
\*\*\*only 10 spots available\*\*\*
If you are familiar with high performance, and human potential, you already know that the nervous system is not a peripheral topic. It is the substrate.
Focus, creativity, emotional intelligence, the capacity for genuine connection, the quality of leadership, making good decisions under pressure â all of it is downstream of the state your nervous system is operating in at any given moment.
Especially expats who have spent years navigating relocation, high stakes, and constantly adapt to new environments, the nervous system carries a specific signature.
Research confirms that elevated cortisol, disrupted sleep, degraded executive function appear especially in populations who consider themselves performing well, because the performance continues even as the foundation slowly depletes.
The next level of performance does not come from pushing harder. It comes from addressing what is running underneath: the nervous system itself.
Regulation is the physiological prerequisite for clear thinking, genuine connection, and sustainable output. When you operate from a regulated baseline, decisions sharpen, leadership deepens, creativity flows, and the driven quality of your ambition stops costing you what it currently costs.
At this LibaTea circle, we explore how high achievers can move from chronic high-arousal functioning to a more powerful operating state, where drive and recovery reinforce each other rather than compete.
This is a group of ambitious, internationally-minded people engaging seriously with the science and practice of nervous system regulation.
**You will explore:**
\- Why high achievers and expats carry a specific and measurable nervous system load
\- What polyvagal theory and allostatic load research actually mean for how you perform
\- What genuine regulation looks like â beyond stress management and temporary relief
\- How your nervous system state shapes the quality of every decision\, conversation\, and creative act
This circle is for professionals, founders and expats who want to operate with more depth, clarity, and long-term capacity.
**Event flow (\~90 minutes):**
Arrival & welcome
Breath & tea
Guided reflection rounds
Closing integration
**A practical note:**
Spots are limited to 10 people.
A recommended contribution is 10⏠/ person.

**About LibaTea:**
LibaTea is a community exploring depth, growth, and genuine connection through conversation and ritual. We host weekly tea circles and monthly masterminds for thoughtful people who take their inner lives as seriously as their outer ones.
**Why tea?**
Tea rituals have been used for centuries to create presence and slow thinking down enough for something real to emerge. We use that principle to create the conditions for conversations worth having.
