Ecstatic Dance – Circle Of Abundance
DIESEN FREITAG
**Ecstatic Dance – Circle of Abundance**
Gemeinsam erinnern · Verbinden · Manifestieren
Am **Freitag, 8. Mai 2026**, öffnen wir einen besonderen Raum für unsere Community –
nicht als etwas, das wir im Außen suchen, sondern als eine Qualität, die entsteht, wenn wir **uns als Gemeinschaft verbinden und gemeinsam ausrichten**.
In Zeiten wie diesen ist die **Kraft des Miteinanders** ein zentraler Bestandteil unseres gemeinsamen – und zugleich individuellen – Weiterkommens.
**Circle of Abundance** lädt uns ein, Fülle nicht nur zu denken, sondern zu verkörpern, zu teilen und miteinander zu stärken.
✨ I**nner Echoes** (Resident Artists in Corfu auf Europa Tour) kehren zurück, um diesen Abend gemeinsam mit uns zu gestalten – mit Tiefe, Präsenz und offenem Herzen. Das verspricht uns einen sehr hochwertigen ehrlichen Abend.
Special Opening – Abundance Circle
Da wir dieses Mal **um 17:00 beginnen**, eröffnen wir den Abend mit einem kraftvollen **Manifestationskreis**, der uns mit klarer Intention stärkt.
In einer gemeinsamen Zeremonie erforschen wir das Thema der Fülle, lösen innere Begrenzungen und richten unsere kollektive Kraft bewusst auf das aus, was wachsen möchte. Mit entschlossenen Worten, deiner eigenen Manifestation und einer Einladung in unsere Community.
Du kannst auch direkt zum Dance kommen, wie immer.
Ein Raum für Begegnung, Ehrlichkeit und gemeinsames Empowerment.
**Künstler & Rollen**
🌱 **Sebastian – Circles**
Mit vertrauter Herzlichkeit und einem feinen aber entschlossenen Sinn für das was uns als Kollektiv wirklich voran bringt.
☀️ **Inner Echoes – Ecstatic Dance DJ Set** mit Tom, begleitet von Jennifers Stimme. Kraftvoller Sound, der uns mit Dynamik, Weite und Herzöffnung verbindet.
🌺 **Inner Echoes – Sound Journey & Integration**
Klavierklänge (Tom) und Stimme (Jennifer) verweben sich zu einer tiefgehenden, intuitiven Erfahrung, die zum Innehalten, Lauschen und Eintauchen einlädt.

"Zu höherem Bewusstsein erwachen!" - Jeden 2. FR im Monat
Wenn Sie **HU** (gesprochen Hjuu) täglich zwanzig Minuten lang mit Liebe singen, beginnen sich die Bande und Fesseln zu lösen, welche die Seele einengen. Nicht alle auf einmal, sondern sehr langsam, in einem Tempo, das Sie verstehen und annehmen können. Während diese Bindungen gelöst werden, wächst die Seele in spirituelle Freiheit hinein, für mehr Freude, Weisheit und Frieden.

Outdoor Improv-Training for Spontaneity & Creative Flow (Session in German)
This is an event for ages 16 and up. Children are not allowed to participate. We cannot guarantee age-appropriate scenes and exercises.
We meet at Donauinsel Coordinates:
https://maps.app.goo.gl/FVhWPCS2ttP4EQ4Q8
We advise you to join the WA-Group because we maybe move to a different meadow. And the exact coordinates where we are will be posted there.
**Stop overthinking and start playing!** 🌿 This session is a soft, safe space to practice being present and letting go of perfectionism. Please note: The main part of this session will be held in **German**.
**Raus aus dem Kopf, rein in den Moment!** 🎭 Hast du das Gefühl, oft festzustecken oder alles perfekt machen zu wollen? Improvisationstheater ist das perfekte Training gegen Procrastination und Perfektionismus. Hier lernst du, dem ersten Impuls zu vertrauen und mit dem zu arbeiten, was gerade da ist.
**Outdoor Vitality:** Training by the water is pure mindfulness. Nature helps calm your nervous system and instantly stops overthinking. Fresh air, open space, and improv—the perfect combo to clear your mind and boost your well-being.
**Bonus für Körper & Geist:** Das Training am Wasser ist Achtsamkeit pur. Die Natur hilft dir, das Nervensystem zu beruhigen und das Gedankenkarussell sofort zu stoppen. Frische Luft, weite Sicht und Impro – die beste Kombi, um mentalen Ballast einfach abzuwerfen.
**Was dich erwartet:** In einer wertschätzenden Atmosphäre nutzen wir einfache Spiele und Bewegung, um:
* 🌱 **"Ja, genau!" zu sagen:** Impulse annehmen statt sie zu zerdenken.
* ✨ **Fehler zu feiern:** Perfektionismus ablegen und spielerisch "scheitern".
* 🧠 **Präsenz zu stärken:** Ganz im Hier und Jetzt reagieren.
**Der Ablauf:** Wir starten mit 1,5 Stunden lockerer Gruppenspiele. Danach folgen sehr kurze, lustige Impro-Szenen.
**Wichtig:** Du machst nur das, worauf du Lust hast. Es ist ein Safe Space – keine Vorkenntnisse nötig!
👤 **Host:** Simon Brauner (über 70geleitete Trainings)
Das Event ist kostenlos. Wir freuen uns über Spenden.
The event is free. We welcome donations.

This is a German-speaking improv session focused on mindfulness and overcoming mental blocks. No acting experience needed - just bring your presence and curiosity!
Philosophic & Spiritual Conversations: The Truth about Love
Why is it that we strive so deeply to fulfill what seems to be our most fundamental human longing - yet so often fall short?
Could it be that the roots of this struggle lie in subtle
misconceptions about who we are - and what we seek in others?
And if so, is there a different way of relating… one that truly works?
In a small, carefully curated group of like-minded individuals, we create a space for thoughtful exploration of these questions. The evening begins with a short talk by Alan Watts – On the most fundamental human desire.
This is followed by a facilitated conversation, where we reflect on the key ideas and how they resonate with our own experience.
After a short break, we gently shift from dialogue into silence—turning inward, allowing space for deeper insight, reflection, and inner resonance.
An evening for those who are drawn to depth, authenticity, and the exploration of life’s essential questions—in connection with others, and with oneself.
Hosted by Dieter Langenecker, facilitated by Tom Stub.

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.”

Run+B-fast
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

"Under the Oak Tree" by Suji Kim
Join us for lunch/tea at Asterisk Supper Club to discuss our May book "Under the Oak Tree" by Suji Kim
Lady Maximilian is the daughter of the powerful Duke Croyso, but she is rarely allowed outside her family’s sprawling castle for fear that her stutter will tarnish their noble name. When she is forced to marry Sir Riftan, a lowborn knight caught in one of her father’s schemes, Maxi doesn’t dare hope for happiness, let alone love. Her stumbling communication and his gruff manner sour their relationship before it can begin, and Riftan leaves without a word the morning after their vows are exchanged.
Now, three years after their disastrous wedding night, Riftan has returned as a war hero. To Maxi’s surprise, despite rumors that he was offered marriage to Princess Agnes, a beautiful and renowned sorceress, Riftan still wants Maxi for his wife. And when he comes to claim her, his longing becomes a desire that bewilders Maxi, even as she is overcome by the scorching heat that Riftan’s presence ignites within her. As she learns to navigate the intricacies of her new life, Maxi will find herself and her courage, and discover that she is anything but powerless.

Building Scalable Customer Identity Resolution Pipelines on AWS Using AI
Customer identity resolution becomes increasingly complex as organizations scale across multiple systems, regions, and data formats. Traditional rule-based approaches often fail to keep up with data variability, require constant manual tuning, and struggle with real-time processing needs.
This session presents a practical approach to building a scalable identity resolution pipeline using AWS services and modern AI techniques. The architecture combines data ingestion through Amazon S3 and AWS Glue, transformation pipelines using Spark on EMR, and machine learning models deployed via SageMaker for entity matching and standardization. Graph-based relationship modeling is implemented using Amazon Neptune to improve resolution accuracy by incorporating household and shared attribute context.
We will walk through how machine learning models can be used for name and address normalization, how intelligent blocking strategies improve matching efficiency, and how feedback loops can be introduced to continuously improve accuracy. The session also highlights how serverless components such as AWS Lambda can be used for orchestration and real-time processing.
