Looking for consistent rhythm in your work? Been putting something off for too long?
Join us for our Weekly Co-Working Session in the excellent **Jaz in the City** — and let’s get it done, together.
📲 **Want** **to** **connect** with others before/after? Looking for extra support and accountability:
Join our [WhatsApp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/K6LidaoQhe16wZ0Se9pNM6), Keep in touch via [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/nocrastinationclub/)
This is a **reliable**, safe, supportive in-person space to move through procrastination with presence and companionship. Whether you’re working on admin tasks, tax returns, writing, creative/coding projects, or simply clearing up your inbox — bring whatever needs getting done and we’ll focus gently beside you. After a 30' intro and goal setting session, we will go through 3 **Pomodoro** **sessions** of 45' focused work and 15' breaks in between.
🕐 **Time**: 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM
📍 **Location**: Jaz in the City – Ground Floor long table: Windmühlgasse 28, 1060 Vienna
💻 **Bring**: Your laptop(& charger), journal, creative tools, or anything you’ve been procrastinating on
🌿 **Hosted by**: NoCrastination. See you across from the ground floor bar ✨ you will see us sitting at the long table with our laptops
☕ Please do order something from the bar, so as to keep us in their good graces! Espresso: €3.5, Americano: €4.5, Latte: €5.5.
Donations to support the community are voluntary and welcome.
🌱 **What to Expect**
* **Welcoming space**: we meet in the creative, cozy lobby of the **Jaz in the City**
* **Social start**: intro from **1:00 to 1:30 PM**, we mingle, get to know each other and share goals; our first focus session begins at **1:30 PM.** However, **drop in anytime** if you can't make the intro session — stay for a bit or settle in for the whole session
* **Clarify your goals**: write down your measurable tasks for the day on a Post-it when you arrive, or join us for the 30' intro session where we introduce ourselves and share our goals for the day
* **Enough spaces**: main table is for quiet focus, multiple nearby tables for casual conversation, and sofa's in the back for taking video calls(be mindful that the hotel music is always on in the background). After each focus session, if you’re still in the flow, feel free to remain seated — no need to move. If you're up for a chat, we can move to a social area for a relaxed break
* **Pomodoro-style rhythm**: We work in 45' focus blocks followed by 15' social breaks. If 45' feels too long, feel free to break it into two 20' focus sessions with a short 5' reset in between. You’ll need to self-regulate these shorter cycles, just tune into your own flow and rejoin when ready
* **Quiet companionship**: no pressure to talk during focus time — just shared presence and support
💡 **New to Pomodoro?** Don’t worry — we’ll guide you gently. No apps or timers needed.
**🪑Seating information:**
* If this is your first time joining us, please look for **Vlad** when you arrive in front of the **Ground Floor Bar** (not at the hotel reception).
* There is a **long table with about 12 seats** for those joining the **peer accountability session** — please arrive on time if you’d like to sit here.
* There are also **round tables nearby** for anyone who prefers a more flexible setup.
* If you’d like to **work independently (without the Pomodoro sessions),** but still be part of the group energy, just let **Vlad** know — we’ll make sure you’re comfortably included. 💛
💬 Why Join?
* Beat procrastination with gentle accountability
* Reclaim your momentum without doing it alone
* Enjoy a change of scenery that boosts your focus
* Be part of a community that shows up — without hustle
Bring your project. Bring your presence. Let’s work side-by-side. 💚

Passion & Purpose Retreat in Syvilla, Parkano Finland | 15-18 January 2026
***Honesty Europe is proud to present for the second time:***
**Find Your Passion & Purpose Retreat -Live authentically and passionately**
**in Syvilla Finland, 15-18 January**
Do you want to figure out what your purpose is in the world?
**What do you want to contribute towards?**
What are your guiding values?
We’ll spend four days and three nights – together in our lakeside retreat center Syvilla near Parkano, surrounded by a lush pine forest.
This retreat will include daily workshop sessions as well as free time for walking on the frozen lake and in the forest, sliding on sledges, soaking in the jacuzzi, and enjoying our nightly saunas in our large, wood-burning sauna.
**In this Life Purpose retreat you will**
\* explore and let go of your limiting beliefs
\* start to give up the blame towards someone or something for how your life has been and how it goes and **start to take see your struggles and wounds as a gift**
\* establish or reconfirm & tweak your purpose and bring clarity to your direction in life
\* Look into the learnings from past year and what you want to leave behind
\* Feel where the energy and excitement lays for the coming year: what do you want to learn, experience and achieve?
\* Look into your core values: what are the values you want to live by? And what are the possible themes for this year?
**Outcomes**
This retreat can liberate you from the path ”expected” of you by your family, community or society and give you the space to explore your true calling and purpose.
You can gain clarity on your life’s work and contribution to your family, community, nature and, of course, to yourself.
You will also decide the steps you will take towards your life purpose.
**You can live a life full of meaning, joy and fulfillment.**
*This is what **Brad Blanton** writes about life purpose:*
*”The Difference Between Believers and Creators*
*Believers have explanations for what went wrong, and hope for salvation just ahead. Creators enjoy consciously going about the work of designing and bringing into being their vision of whatever they want to create.”*
**What we do**
On each day, we’ll do some guided movement, meditation and workshop sessions.
**Our retreat center Syvilla**
Our lovely retreat center Syvilla is located beside the clean Lake Kovesjärvi in a lovely location by a forest and vast grounds for roaming around. It has many buildings including fully renovated yet historically important main red building, an old barn turned into lodging spaces and a kitchen & big space for gatherings and parties, a large terrace which can be covered for rain, an old smoke sauna turned into lodging, a sandy beach, a wood-burning sauna and a smoke sauna by a lake, a wood-burning hot tub and jacuzzi and big hangout areas & fire places by the shore, our own small island and a lot more.
Leisure activities include walking on the ice, enjoying the many fire places including one on the island, enjoying snow, and sauna & jacuzzi.
The property in Parkano about 11 kilometers from the city center and has 170 meters of shore line and is about 1.7 hectares in size.

Drink & Paint Visionboard
Mit deinen inneren Visionen, Wünschen und Zielen verbunden in dein neues Jahr.
Wenn der eigenen inneren Kompass klar ausgerichtet ist, wird vieles leichter - und das hast du dir wirklich verdient.
Bestärke dich positiv, in dem du dich auf das fokussierst, was dir wirklich wichtig ist, was dich nährt und wohin du wirklich möchtest
Ich lade dich herzlich zu meinem Drink & Paint: Vision Board 2026 ein.
In entspannter Atmosphäre, kannst du dich sammeln und neu ausrichten und - mit Prosecco oder Kräuter Tee in der Hand - kreativ werden. Auf einer schönen Leinwand gestaltest du eine Collage als dein persönliches Visionboard, zum Aufhängen zu Hause. Es sind keine künstlerischen Vorkenntnisse erforderlich.
### Warum ein Visionboard so wirkungsvoll ist
Ein Visionboard bringt Klarheit in deine Wünsche, stärkt deinen Fokus und macht deine Ziele sichtbar.
Durch die Bilder und Symbole sprichst du dein Unterbewusstsein an – das erhöht Motivation, Selbstwirksamkeit und die Bereitschaft, neue Schritte zu gehen.
Der kreative Prozess beruhigt, verbindet dich mit deinen echten Bedürfnissen und schafft einen positiven inneren Raum, in dem Veränderung leichter möglich wird.
Dein Visionboard begleitet dich danach wie ein klarer, freundlicher Kompass durch das Jahr.
Was ist für dich inkludiert?
* Leinwand, hochwertige Zeitschriften, Kleber, Scheren, Stanleymesser, verschiedene Farben, Kreiden, Stifte und vieles mehr
* Getränke und kleine Snacks
Ich leite und begleite dich durch den Nachmittag / Abend und helfe dir zu den tieferen Schichten deiner Wünsche vorzudringen und natürlich auch bei der kreativen Umsetzung.
The Inner Pilgrimage - A Meaningful Start into 2026
## **A Contemplative Retreat for Inner Peace and Strength for a Demanding Life**
### As one year quietly fades…
and another gently approaches…
there’s often a subtle pull inside.
A sense…
that we don’t want to fall back
into the same old rhythms,
the familiar patterns,
the expectations that no longer feel alive.
Something in us wants to begin differently —
more consciously,
more meaningfully.
And for many of us,
after years of building,
achieving,
and doing everything we once hoped for…
another question begins to whisper underneath it all:
**What truly matters now?**
When the striving softens,
and the world finally grows quiet…
a deeper longing rises.
Not for more to accomplish.
Not for more to manage.
But for something real.
Something that feels like truth.
**The Inner Pilgrimage** is for these exact moments —
when freedom feels strangely heavy,
when the old tools no longer bring clarity,
when the next step is no longer outward…
but inward.
It isn’t about resolutions.
It isn’t about goals.
It isn’t about pushing harder.
It’s about listening again.
It’s about coming home to yourself before the year unfolds.
It’s about giving yourself a gentle, meaningful inner boost —
so you can begin 2026 grounded, clear, aligned…
and quietly connected to what truly matters.
### **Essence**
In a world that constantly asks for more —
more effort,
more speed,
more responsibility —
this weekend offers a simple invitation:
Pause.
Breathe.
Come home.
**The Inner Pilgrimage** is not a journey outward.
It is a soft descent inward —
into stillness,
into presence,
into the quiet clarity that has been waiting beneath the noise.
You won’t be traveling far.
But you may return changed.
This is a space to rest.
To listen.
To rediscover the strength and peace within you
that daily life so easily consumes.
> The most meaningful journeys are not those that take us far away,
> but those that bring us deeply home.
## **Program Overview**
The morning begins slowly.
A settling.
A gentle arriving into your body, your breath, your presence.
* A welcome into stillness
* A quiet talk: *What does it mean to walk a pilgrimage of the soul?*
* Guided inner reflection: *Where am I on my path right now*
* Time for journaling, sensing, or resting
* A soft morning of wordless presence — a Vigil of Stillness
Short lunch break,
softened…
opened…
ready for a different kind of listening.
###
The afternoon continues in quiet.
Not with effort,
but with ease.
* A meditation
* A talk: *Coming home — living from what you discovered*
* A gentle dialogue circle or short reflective moments
* Tea shared in silence
* Time for integration, writing, or contemplation
* A symbolic closing ritual
* Ending the day in silence, presence, and gratitude
You return to your life
not with pressure,
but with clarity…
with strength…
with a renewed sense of direction from within.
### **Atmosphere**
Soft.
Unhurried.
Warm.
Human.
A space where silence isn’t empty —
it’s full of something deeper.
A space where you don’t have to perform,
pretend,
or hold yourself together.
Just be.
As you are.
Light, healthy snacks will be offered
as a small act of *mindful feasting* —
simple, nourishing, grounding.
Nothing loud.
Nothing forced.
Just presence,
warmth,
and the quiet company of others
walking their own inner path.
### **Good to Know**
**Date:** Sunday, Jan 18th, 2026
**Time:** 09:30 am–5:00 pm
**Location:** Vienna
**Language:** English
**Facilitator:** Dieter Langenecker – Modern Elder & Meaning Counselor
**What to bring:** Comfortable clothing, journal or notebook, an open heart
**Refreshments:** Light snacks and tea provided (breaks in silence)
**Contribution**
Participation in *The Inner Pilgrimage* is offered on a **trust and appreciation basis**.
Rather than a fixed fee, you are invited to choose the contribution that feels right for you —
one that honours both your current situation and the value you receive from the experience.
As a gentle orientation:
* **€ 30** · *Supported rate* – for those who currently need to care for their budget
* **€ 45** · *Standard rate* – the regular contribution that sustains the event
* **€ 75** · *Supportive rate* – for those who wish to help make the retreat accessible to others

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 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.”
Heartfulness-Meditation
Heartfulness-Meditation entspannt den Geist und stärkt das Herz. Es sind keine Vorkenntnisse oder Erfahrungen erforderlich. Und so wie die Luft uns allen frei zur Verfügung steht, so ist es auch diese Meditation.
Heartfulness-Meditation relaxes the mind and strengthens the heart.
No prior knowlege or experience is required. And just as air is freely available to all of us, so is this meditation.
Iboga & Ibogaine: Rethinking Trauma, Addiction, and Mental Health

Looking for a space to practice Tango Argentino with intention? The Focused Prácticas are open practice gatherings for dancers of all levels, whether you’re just starting out, deepening your foundations, or refining more advanced skills.
Each práctica begins with a suggested focus and a short guided exercise to help you get started — you're welcome to follow it or do your own, no structure imposed. From there, you’re free to practice at your own rhythm.
**You’re welcome to:**
Train individual technique or work in pairs

Repeat, research, and integrate what you’re currently learning — wherever that may be
This is not a class, and not a milonga.
It’s a space for mindful practice, curiosity, and experimentation.
There's plenty of room for those who want to practice navigation in ronda or something else on a fixed spot without disturbing each other's process.
You don’t need to attend my classes to join, the Focused Prácticas are open to all backgrounds.
**Here you can expect:**
A welcoming, respectful atmosphere
Space to focus without pressure
Supportive presence if questions arise
Freedom to choose what you want to work on
Socializing and exchanging feedback with others is welcome; consent and respecting each person’s process is the base.
When I'm traveling, the Focused Prácticas are hosted by Justina.

Free In-Person Meeting: Get Over Losses & Betrayals, Build Lasting Relationships
This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships.
Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse.
Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well.
Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship.
Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action?
Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships!
Break free from self imposed limitations
Here we will discuss:
• How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes.
• Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you?
• Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it?
• Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love?
• Fights & arguments - what's really behind them?
• What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others?
• How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change?
• Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them?
• How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about?
• How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career?
Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general.
Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person.
Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life.
We look forward to having you join us!

Intro to GitHub Copilot: Your AI Pair Programmer - Chris Steele
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
**Abstract**
GitHub Copilot is rapidly changing how developers write, understand, and maintain code. Powered by generative AI and deeply integrated into modern development environments, Copilot acts as an intelligent coding assistant, helping developers move faster while maintaining quality and focus.
In this session, we’ll explore what GitHub Copilot is, how it works, and where it fits into a real-world developer workflow. We’ll break down what Copilot can (and cannot) do, where it can be used, and how licensing differs for individuals and organizations. Most importantly, this talk goes beyond theory with a live, hands-on demo showcasing Copilot inside the IDE and on GitHub, demonstrating how it can assist with code generation, refactoring, learning new APIs, and accelerating day-to-day development tasks.
Designed for developers, technical leads, and engineering managers, this session provides a practical introduction to AI-assisted development, highlights best practices for getting value from Copilot, and closes with guidance on how to continue learning and evolving alongside this rapidly advancing tool.
Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how GitHub Copilot can enhance productivity, improve developer experience, and fit into modern software teams today, not someday.
