Breathworksession mit Christian Reiger
**🌬️ Breathwork – Geführte meditative Reise**
**Adresse:** Bella Volen Galerie, Landesgerichtsstraße 6, Wien 1010
**Start um 19 Uhr**
**Ankommen zwischen** 18:40 und 18:55
Breathwork ist eine Reise nach innen – eine Begegnung mit dem Unbewussten, getragen und geführt durch den Atem. In unserem oft hektischen Alltag fällt es uns nicht immer leicht, Abstand zu gewinnen und das größere Bild zu erkennen. Umso erstaunlicher ist es, wie schnell sich unsere innere Wahrnehmung verändern kann, wenn wir uns bewusst mit unserem Atem verbinden.
Die Einladung an Sie besteht darin, sich vertrauensvoll dem Atem hinzugeben und sich für neue Erfahrungen, Erkenntnisse und innere Räume zu öffnen. Es ist Ihre ganz persönliche Reise.
Begleitet von Musik und der ruhigen Stimme von Christian findet die Session in einem geschützten, abgedunkelten Raum statt.
Die Fenster sind mit Vorhängen bedeckt, sodass Sie ungestört loslassen und ganz bei sich ankommen können.
Wissenschaftliche Studien zeigen, dass bewusste Atemtechniken den Vagusnerv aktivieren, Stresshormone reduzieren sowie Herzfrequenz und Blutdruck positiv beeinflussen können. Breathwork kann dabei helfen, emotionale Spannungen zu lösen, das Nervensystem zu beruhigen und einen Zustand tiefer Entspannung, Klarheit und innerer Präsenz zu fördern.
Viele Menschen erleben Breathwork als eine heilsame Erfahrung, bei der festgefahrene Emotionen in Bewegung kommen, neue Einsichten entstehen und eine tiefere Verbindung zu sich selbst spürbar wird. Es kann ein Raum entstehen für innere Ruhe, Selbstvertrauen, Verbundenheit und die eigene innere Weisheit.
✨ Loslassen
💙 Nervensystem beruhigen
✨ Innere Klarheit
🌱 Erdung
🌬️ Bewusstes Atmen
🤍 Verbundenheit
**Für die Session ist bereits alles vorbereitet:** Für die Session ist bereits alles vorbereitet: Matten, Decken, Kissen und Getränke stehen zur Verfügung.
**Bringen Sie lediglich bequeme Kleidung mit.** Wenn Sie möchten, können Sie zusätzlich **eine Augenmaske** oder **ein Tuch zum Abdecken der Augen** mitbringen.
Wir freuen uns darauf, Sie auf dieser besonderen Reise zu begleiten.

This is a trans and non-binary friendly club.
Join us one Thursday every month for a bowling session to play and enjoy lesbian company. It's not about winning - it's about having fun in a safer space with zero tolerance for racism, transphobia, biphobia, body-shaming, ageism, or other forms of discrimination.
The club welcomes all German and English speakers - we'll adjust what language we use depending on who's here. :)

Der Club ist trans- und nicht-binär-freundlich.
Komm einen Donnerstag im Monat mit uns Bowlen um in lesbischer Gesellschaft zu spielen. Es geht nicht ums Gewinnen, sondern viel mehr darum, Spaß zu haben in einem sicheren Umfeld, in dem Rassismus, Transphobie, Biphobie, Bodyshaming, Altersdiskriminierung oder andere Formen der Diskriminierung keinen Platz haben.

First event: The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas
For our very first book club meeting, we’re heading to 19th-century Brazil with ***The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas*** by **Machado de Assis!**
First published in 1881, this novel turns the idea of a memoir upside down. Its narrator, Brás Cubas, begins his story after his death, freed from reputation, consequence, and social expectation. From beyond the grave, he recounts his life with wit, irony, and sharp self-awareness.
**Location: Plutzer Bräu Vienna.**
€2 kindly requested on the night to help cover Meetup costs.

"Über visuelle Irritationen und die Ästhetik des Fehlerhaften in der Kunst"
Im Bereich der visuellen Medien versteht man unter "Bildstörung" versehentlich mitkommunizierte Informationen\, die unerwünschte Veränderungen im übertragenen Signal verursachen\. In der Ausstellung in Kooperation mit NÖDOK \| ON TOUR greifen Kunstschaffende optische Effekte und Täuschungen gezielt auf und entwickeln sie in ihren Arbeiten weiter\. In einer zufälligen Bildstörung oder Sinnestäuschung ist mitunter das zu beobachten\, was sonst unsichtbar bleibt\.
Ausstellende Künstler:innen
Natascha Auenhammer, Christian Bazant-Hegemark, Peter Baldinger, Bettina Beranek, Robert Davis, Walter Ebenhofer, Wolfgang Grinschgl, Caroline Heider, Harding Meyer, Gabi Mitterer, Georg Pummer, Fritz Simak, Jürgen Wagner, Robert Zahornicky

"On visual distortions and the aesthetics of imperfection in art"
In the field of visual media\, the term "image interference" refers to information inadvertently transmitted that causes unwanted changes in the transmitted signal\. In the exhibition\, organised in collaboration with NÖDOK \| ON TOUR\, artists deliberately engage with optical effects and illusions and develop them further in their works\. It is sometimes in a random visual glitch or optical illusion that we can observe what otherwise remains invisible\.

Bringing your house plants outside so they can meet other house plants
Imagine being a house plant and having to stay in the same shitty room all your life. You only get a glimpse of the outdoors through the window and you constantly have to watch your friends die, because some dude/lady wasn't able to stick to a simple watering schedule.
If you want to bring some excitement into your house plant's otherwise bleak life, this event is for you! Your plant will have a chance to meet other house plants, make plant friends, and maybe even win some prizes.
**What to bring:**
\- One of your house plants
**What we'll do:**
\- Stuff
**Where we'll do:**
\- Check the location of the event again before you leave\. It's set for Grillplatz 8 at Donauinsel for now\. If it's taken already\, we'll be somewhere in that area\.

(Cross-Posting) From Joints to Gestures: Reading Hands in Unity
Do **NOT** sign up to this one and sign-up at https://www.meetup.com/columbusjs/events/313386504/
=======================================
A hand tracker gives you joints, not a gesture.
This talk shows how you get from raw joints to a "thumbs-up" in Unity: the pipeline that cleans up the data, how a gesture becomes a few 0-to-1 values within tolerance, and why orientation matters as much as finger shape.
Includes a live demo of tuning gesture thresholds.
Food and drinks will be available.

Walk & Talk About Life's Big Questions
[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations.
If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!).
**HOW IT WORKS**
**Step 1: Bring a topic**
Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event.
**Step 2: Circle up & share**
We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds.
**Step 3: Walk, talk & float**
We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!"
**Step 4: Feel more alive**
Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times.
*For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)*
**HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC**
A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about.
Recent topics include:
* "What are you passionate about right now?"
* "What makes a good friend?"
* "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?"
* "How do you want to be remembered?"
* "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?"
Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter.
**WHAT TO EXPECT**
This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.*
But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here.
**FAQ**
* Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk!
* We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space.
* We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space.
* Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know.
* Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic!
**LOGISTICS**
* If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event.
* This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs.
* Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details.
* If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋
**IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...**
[The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up.
* This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries. If the walks feel like a spark... The Board is the fire. Apply [here](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board).
