L'Ecume des jours (Foam of the Daze) is a jazz fueled Science Fiction story that is both romantic and nihilistic! Vian's novel is an assortment of bittersweet romance, absurdity and the frailty of life. Foam of the Daze is a nimble-fingered masterpiece that is both witty and incredibly moving. It is a story of a wealthy young man Colin and the love of his life Chloe, who develops a water lily in her lung. The supporting cast includes Chick, an obsessive collector of noted philosopher Jean-Sol Partre's books and stained pants, and Nicolas who is a combination of P.G. Wodehouse's fictional butler Jeeves and the Green Hornet's Kato. The soul of the book is about the nature of life disappearing and loving things intensely as if one was making love on a live grenade! Please note that there are several translations of this book, first of them was Froth on the daydream, later came Mood indigo (by movie title), and there is also Foam of the Daze. source: goodreads

Our goal is to ensure that every writer—regardless of genre or skill level—has access to the resources, community, and accountability that they need to be successful in their personal writing goals." And what this looks like at our event: We chat and give short introductions to what we are working on at 18:00, then start writing at 18:15. Though we try to start on dot, being late isn't a problem—just find a spot and get to work! We write until 20:00 and then discuss how our writing went.

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/)**.

**Ecstatic Cacao Ritual – Solstice Celebration** 🌞 Zum Season Closing, an diesem besonderen Abend zur Sommersonnenwende feiern wir das Licht, die Gemeinschaft und die Fülle des Lebens. Seit Jahrtausenden versammeln sich Menschen rund um diesen kraftvollen Wendepunkt des Jahres. Der längste Tag und die kürzeste Nacht erinnern uns daran, das Leben zu feiern, Dankbarkeit auszudrücken und uns bewusst auszurichten auf das, was wir in die zweite Jahreshälfte tragen möchten. Mehr als ein Ecstatic Dance. Mehr als eine Cacao Ceremony. Eine Reise durch Verbindung, Musik, Bewegung und Gemeinschaft. Gemeinsam öffnen wir den Abend mit zeremoniellem Kakao, einer bewussten Einstimmung und einer gemeinsamen Intention für die zweite Hälfte des Jahres. Was möchte durch dich wachsen? Was möchtest du feiern? Wofür bist du dankbar? Durch Cacao, Musik, Tanz und Klang erschaffen wir einen Raum, in dem wir das Leben bewusst feiern dürfen. 🌿 **Mathias Kluger / Lost in Soma – Ceremony & Dance Journey** Mathias öffnet den Raum mit einer herzöffnenden Cacao Ceremony und einer bewussten Tanzeinleitung. Als Gründer des Ecstatic Cacao Rituals verbindet er Elemente aus Cacao Ceremony, Authentic Relating, Ecstatic Dance, Breathwork und Ritualarbeit zu einer ganzheitlichen Erfahrung. Seine musikalischen Reisen führen durch organische elektronische Klänge, Weltmusik, Mantras, Medicine Songs und kraftvolle Dancefloor-Momente. Als internationaler Ecstatic Dance DJ und Resident im Shunya, Goa, schafft er Räume, in denen Menschen sich selbst tiefer begegnen, Verbindung erleben und Gemeinschaft als Medizin erfahren können. Das Ecstatic Cacao Ritual ist eine Einladung, den Alltag hinter sich zu lassen und über Musik, Bewegung und Präsenz in einen lebendigen Kontakt mit sich selbst und anderen einzutauchen. **✨ Valerie & Sebastian – Sound Journey** Valerie und Sebastian weben einen Klangteppich aus zwei Stimmen, Gitarre, Handpan, oft auch Harmonium und allem, was der Moment ruft. Nichts ist geprobt im engeren Sinn – manches sind Lieder, die uns seit Jahren begleiten, manches Eigenkompositionen, vieles entsteht erst durch die Magie des Moments. Die beiden lieben weiche und weite Töne, die dich durch den ergänzenden Kontrast ihrer Stimmen sanft umhüllen. Momente, in denen gemeinsam mit den Zuhörern ehrliche Töne aus dem endlosen Raum durch sie fließen. **🕕 Sonntag\, 21\.06\.2026 \| 18:00** 📍 Vitality Base Vienna 📍 Leberstraße 118A, 1110 Wien 🔗 find.vitalitybase.at **✨ Programmablauf** 18:00 Gemeinsames Ankommen 18:30 Willkommenskreis 18:45 Cacao Ceremony & Dance Introduction mit Mathias Kluger 19:30 Ecstatic Cacao Ritual Dance Journey mit Lost in Soma 21:30 Sound Journey mit Valerie & Sebastian 22:00 Offener Raum zum Entspannen, Musizieren und Austauschen 🌀 Bitte beachte: Dieses Event ist alkoholfrei und findet in einem geschützten zeremoniellen Rahmen statt. 🌟 Mitgliederevent Förderbeitrag: 34–54 Euro Mitgliedschaft vor Ort erhältlich 🌞 Lasst uns die Sommersonnenwende gemeinsam feiern. 🌿 Lasst uns tanzen. 💛 Lasst uns das Leben feiern. 🌱 create joy together
