Social Book Club 📚
Welcome Book Lovers! Join our Meet Up Group to find like-minded book readers! This event is for everybody interested in listening or sharing new book content or comment on it.

It is a gathering for everybody to find like-minded people interested in learning something new. :) Feel free to bring your own book with you. The event will take place at the volunteer organisation MUT. It is an organisation to supports humans, animals and the environment especially in Vienna. I am happy to host it there. MUT or the Social Book Club look forward to some donation to cover the cost of this event. If you would like to help, please bring some cash with you. This is the address: Rechte Wienzeile 37, 1040 Wien Walk until the end of the main entrance hall. At the end of the hallway you find a big green gate with a sign of the Social Book Club. Please give your best to be on time so that we can have a nice introduction round together. If you can't attend anymore please cancel the event to give someone else the space to come. :) Check out the Social Book Club Website for more content: https://socialbookclub.de/ Looking forward to seeing you there! :)

FRIDAY 👋⚽ FOOTBALL FRIENDLY 18:30-20:00 (Donaucity) w/ SORIN +Video Highlights
Things to know before playing: Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls; We play Friday Night Special Football (outdoor only) . We play 90 minutes (kick off is at 18:30, and we meet at least 15 minutes before for a warm up phase). Post-Corona football matches are most likely between 14-16 and 28-32 players. If you would like to join please bring artificial turf shoes (like the ones for indoor turf) and shin pads (not mandatory but definitely recommendable). All I ask is that you come with a good mood, be respectful to everyone, and pay online using the link below. [Tuesday Night via FOOTxp football website](https://footballexperiences.net/kickaball/p/tuesdaynightfootball/) **Other methods for payments.** **Erste Bank Transfer**: **Sorin-Florian Brici** **AT27 2011 1829 5564 7001** **\*[Revolut](https://revolut.me/brici)** \- Recommended\! **\* [Wise](https://wise.com/pay/me/sorinb256)** \- Also recommended\! **\*[Paypal](https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/sorinSocial/)** \- Please use non\-Commercial product We play light: no sliding, hard tackling, fighting, screaming, & hopefully no injuries. We need to respect current regulations in Vienna, Austria. The main priorities are to have fun and being safe. The drinks are relatively free after the game in the local pub, served to those who have shown fantastic football fair-play skills. We will confirm the location, the pitches, and the dressing room numbers via our dedicated Football WhatsApp group/s. Keep an eye out for the group messages. See you all soon. Sorin SMS/ WhatsApp +43 6764276984 (please ask to be added to our football groups). We will probably need to confirm your presence if you are coming for the first or second time. Important management rule: **\> "No shows" are penalized with 10€ fee\. Please remove your name from the list at least SIX\!\!\! \(6\) HOURS before the event\.** Book a place via FootballExperiences.NET using this link [FOOTxp](https://footballexperiences.net/kickaball/) One small final note: Please avoid trying to take justice in your hands. If someone is talking bad, complaining, insulting someone, fouling on purpose or committing the usual football shenanigans, please let the organizers know. Measures will be taken, we assure you. Any misbehavior on your part, such as responding in an obscene way, fighting, or leaving the pitch is not a practical and diplomatic way of resolving the issues (it tends to create more tension and cause more problems). Let’s be respectful and mature and try to enjoy the game we all love. That’s why we’re all here. Get to know people from all over the world and have fun! Thank you. Sorin

Reserve your place in our small, committed group – **max. 10 participants:** [click here to book your spot.](https://playfight.my-power.at/chooseyourinvestment/) **✨INFO & CONTACT✨** [contact@my-power.at,](http://contact@my-power.at,/) +43 68110779089 (Marco) **✨ IS THIS YOU? ✨** You keep **getting into the same arguments** with the people you love, again and again. You **hide** how you really feel, and it’s exhausting. You know there’s more inside you — more joy, more life — but you **hold it back.** And you **worry** that nothing will ever change. Discover how you can **stop surviving and start thriving.** You can learn to: * **Welcome all parts of you** * Respond to life in a thoughtful and **intentional way** * Let your **joy, creativity and talents** shine without shame and be appreciated by others. **Do you need this?** [Click here to book your spot.](https://playfight.my-power.at/chooseyourinvestment/) ✨**A DAY AT OUR IMMERSION**✨ Imagine waking up to the warm scent of wood. A fresh organic breakfast is waiting. You are not alone: you’re part of a small, committed group, who is learning to meet life with honesty and care. We gather in a circle. You arrive in your body, breathe, and let the nervous system soften. On the mats you meet yourself and others through Playfight, not to win but to listen. You remember what your body needs. Emotions become a resource, not a burden. You learn to meet your shadow with self-love, and your light as a gift to share. This is what we offer. **Do you want to be part?** [Click here to book your spot.](https://playfight.my-power.at/chooseyourinvestment/) **✨WELCOME HOME TO YOURSELF✨** We all have parts of ourselves we’d rather hide. Our fears, anger, shame – but also our brilliance, joy, and creativity. This creates well-known inner conflicts. What we repress doesn’t disappear: it shows up in our behaviours, relationships, and how we limit ourselves. * **The shadow side** is made of the parts of ourselves we don’t want to admit or even notice. When ignored, it rules us. When integrated, it becomes a source of strength. * **The light shadow** is the brilliance we repress because it feels “too much” – our radiance, creativity, vitality. By hiding it, we make ourselves smaller. In Playfight, we meet both our wounds and our strengths. We learn to stop fighting ourselves. Meet your shadow *and* your hidden light. Allow integration to happen and balance to emerge. **It’s time to feel *whole* again.** **Welcome all parts of you back home.** Facing your shadow doesn’t make you darker: it allows you to free your inner light. When you face what you’ve been avoiding, you can discover the strength, clarity, and balance that comes from integration. **Are you ready to meet yourself?** [Click here to book your spot.](https://playfight.my-power.at/chooseyourinvestment/) **✨THE JOURNEY WE DESIGNED FOR YOU – *Group Support & Individual Focus*✨** This immersion offers you **group exploration** and **personal coaching**: **– Playfight** – Step into an embodied space where you can meet your shadow and your light through direct, physical experience. **– Shadow/light work** – Go beyond words as you face the parts you usually hide, embrace your strengths, and discover your brilliance waiting to shine. **– Individual “Expand Your Light” Coaching Session** – Expand your experience through a personal session tailored to you – you can choose to have it before, during, or after the event, based on availability. Use it to prepare, find your focus or integrate – bring your insights into your daily life. **– Relational and embodied exercises** – You’ll explore honest, real connection with others, uncover hidden patterns, and gently cultivate self-love. 💡 *You don’t need any experience. Just curiosity, a willingness to play, and the courage to be real.* **Questions?** Talk to us: [contact@my-power.at](mailto:contact@my-power.at) **Are you ready to start this journey?** [Click here to book your spot.](https://playfight.my-power.at/chooseyourinvestment/) **✨SCHEDULE✨** **Arrival:** Jan 2, 17:00 **Opening Session:** Jan 2, 20:00 **Closing:** Jan 5, 17:00 **Daily activities:** 09:30 – 18:30 (with breaks) **Language:** English (basic) *Your presence supports group trust and allows deeper processes to unfold, while still leaving space for rest and self-care.

Freshly renovated and surrounded by nature, it carries the warm scent of local wood and rustic stone – an ideal ground for deep personal work. The venue offers: – **single rooms:** €38 per night + optional bedding and tourist tax – **double rooms:** €28 + optional bedding and tourist tax You can select your preferred room type during registration, subject to availability. **✨WE CREATE A SAFER SPACE TOGETHER✨** **To support clarity, honesty, and depth, this is a sober space:** – No alcohol or perception-altering substances – You’re invited – but not forced – to go without caffeine and nicotine, to reconnect with your body’s natural rhythm – We create this space together – through presence, care, and mutual trust. We mostly work in a circle as equals, learning to navigate moments of collective uncertainty with curiosity, and appreciating one another as mirrors for our patterns, shadows, and light. **✨ YOUR FACILITATION TEAM ✨** Hi, I’m **Marco Moriggi**, a Playfight facilitator and Lebens- und Sozialberater (Life Coach) in training. In my workshops, **vulnerability and strength go hand in hand**. Body-based connection goes beyond words. Self-responsibility is a pillar for community support. And playing together becomes a meaningful way to discover something new about yourself. I would love helping you to get in touch with your emotions and transform your life. I host this Immersion with **Fabio Bisotti** – who is a Playfight Trainer Practitioner, somatic trainer, trauma-informed practitioner, and systemic constellations coach. We combine years of group facilitation to offer a clear, supportive container where you can meet challenges, build trust, and deepen body & emotional awareness. Got any questions?

Through mindful physical play and non-violent fighting, you reconnect with your inner child and discover your inner strength – instinct, boundaries, and wild side. You re-learn to listen to your body’s intelligence, and touch becomes again natural, innocent, and respectful – free from sexuality or romance. Whether you feel playful or unsure, confident or curious: all of you is welcome here. Our circles are held with care in a trauma-informed way. **Do you want to try it?** [Click here to book your spot.](https://playfight.my-power.at/chooseyourinvestment/) **✨MORE THAN PLAY: A TOOL FOR PERSONAL GROWTH✨** In a Playfight circle, fully engaged in movement and action, you can **explore more of who you are**. Playfight becomes a mirror that reveals what words alone sometimes can’t reach – integrating body, emotions, and mind. What begins as play soon becomes a doorway to growth, empowerment, and real connection – with yourself, with others, and with life. Playfight helps you l**et go of old habits and practice new skills for everyday life.** In play, your body and mind wake up, open, and learn. **Step beyond your comfort zone** and into the sweet spot where growth begins. No experience needed – just a willingness to show up authentically. Spots are limited to 10 participants. Reserve yours today. **Are you ready to playfight with your shadow and free your light?** [Click here to book your spot.](https://playfight.my-power.at/chooseyourinvestment/) Info: [contact@my-power.at](mailto:contact@my-power.at) See you on the playfight mats! ### **✨ STAY CONNECTED ✨** * **[Website & Newsletter](https://playfight.my-power.at/)** * **[Signal Group](https://signal.group/#CjQKIDKi-fEAn-mYs4BItlN8UZksyf0CGhZDZtXVoMwMi_t0EhByoQkGCYMY-S-DynQ4qQjn)** * **[Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/marco_my_power/)**

Wirklich sehen, hören, fühlen – Wie geschärfte Wahrnehmung Nähe ermöglicht
Wirklich sehen, hören, fühlen – Wie geschärfte Wahrnehmung Nähe ermöglicht
### **,,Wirklich sehen, hören, fühlen – Wie geschärfte Wahrnehmung Nähe ermöglicht''** **Workshop für Sinne, Selbsterkenntnis & Beziehungstiefe** *** **Was, wenn echte Verbindung nicht durch Reden, sondern durch Wahrnehmen beginnt?** Wie nah wir anderen kommen – in Partnerschaft, Freundschaft oder Familie – hängt oft davon ab, **wie klar und fein wir wahrnehmen können**: uns selbst, den anderen, die Situation. In diesem Workshop schulen wir unsere Sinne – **sehen, hören, riechen, fühlen** – und erkennen, was zwischen Wahrnehmung und Reaktion liegt: unsere gelernten Muster, Schutzmechanismen und tiefen Bedürfnisse. *** **Inhalte & Übungen**: * Wie „Wahr“-nehmung funktioniert – und wie sie getäuscht werden kann * Sehen, Hören, Riechen, Fühlen bewusst trainieren – mit alltagsnahen Übungen * Schulz von Thun: Was höre ich wirklich, wenn jemand spricht? * Virginia Satir: Welche Reaktionen schützen mich – und verhindern Nähe? * Karen Horney & Bindungstheorie: Warum wir uns so schwer tun mit Kontakt * Sinneserfahrungen mit Alltagsgegenständen (z. B. Kaffee, Stoffe, Düfte) * Achtsame Selbstwahrnehmung & ehrlicher Austausch in Kleingruppen *** **Warum das wichtig ist:** Viele Kommunikationsprobleme und Beziehungskonflikte entstehen nicht durch bösen Willen – sondern durch **nicht wahrgenommene Signale**, alte Muster oder unbewusste Schutzreaktionen. Wenn wir die Welt feiner spüren lernen, **werden wir echter, weicher, verbindlicher** – ohne uns zu verlieren. *** **Für wen?** Für Menschen, die sich selbst und andere besser verstehen wollen – nicht theoretisch, sondern **im Spüren, Erleben und im echten Kontakt**. *** 📍**Ort:** jeden Sonntag 🕖 **Zeit:** 11:00-14:30 ☕ **Mit Sinnesimpulsen wie Kaffee & Duftübungen** Kaffee & kleine Snacks inklusive! 💶 **Beitrag:** 25€ 📝 **Anmeldung:** über Meetup oder Emailanmeldung unter: orhanberatgueclue@gmail.com

Open Dialogue – Discovering Together in Vienna
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.”
