Immersive Tech

(this talk will be held in German) Cannabis bewegt sich zwischen Selbstmedikation, Freizeitdroge und klinischer Anwendung. Doch was bewirkt die Substanz im Gehirn wirklich, und was bedeutet das für Wahrnehmung, Motivation sowie psychische und körperliche Gesundheit? Nach einem Überblick über die neurobiologischen Grundlagen, ergänzt durch klinische Einblicke und Fallbeispiele, besteht im anschließenden Q&A Raum für Fragen und Diskussion. Auch nach dem Vortrag bleibt der Raum geöffnet für gemeinsame Diskussion und Austausch.

**The Mysteries of Non-Duality, Spirituality, and Metaphysics** **Only 5% of the universe is composed of normal matter,** yet we often dedicate 100% of our focus and attention to it. This creates an **illusion of separateness** where we believe we are alone and that when our material body dies, that's the end. We even term this physical substance "matter" because we believe it's all that truly matters. In contrast, **95% of our universe consists of energies and a mysterious void** that actually governs our universe, bodies, experiences, and lives. This non-material universe is also known as the **spiritual universe**. As we delve into this spiritual dimension, we start to see how all things are interconnected. **Imagine the ocean and two waves approaching the shore**. One exclaims, "My God, we're going to crash at the shore, we're going to die!" The other responds, "No! You cannot die. You are part of the ocean!" Like the waves, we simultaneously are individuals and part of a greater whole. Yet, most of us are (no longer) aware of this. Opening up, moving beyond our wave-like limitations, and recognizing our unity with the ocean can change everything. It makes life much easier, more enjoyable, and fulfilling. **Agenda:** * Introduction to Non-Duality, Spirituality, and Metaphysics: We will watch videos covering different aspects and explanations of reality, non-duality, etc. * Sharing of questions and thoughts. * Conclusions and how to apply this understanding to your life (if you wish). **You are invited to join** a somewhat mystical workshop exploring the timeless wisdom of the universe. We'll dive into spirituality, non-duality, metaphysics, and the interconnectedness of all things to uncover deeper personal fulfillment and an understanding of life. Whether you're new to these topics or a seasoned practitioner, this event is the perfect opportunity to explore, learn, and grow. Come with an open mind and leave feeling inspired and more connected to a community passionate about these intriguing subjects. No matter where you are on your spiritual journey, this event can offer surprising and important insights about yourself that you may have never considered before. **Important:** We don't have to agree on everything. This isn't about proving someone wrong, but rather about learning from each other, providing mutual inspiration, hearing different perspectives, and evolving to live a life we love. **Sign Up Now.** **Deepen Your Understanding of the New Consciousness:** Intuition is replacing intellect as our primary decision-making guide. This new consciousness transcends the limitations of the five senses. It is beyond the five senses. **See What Is Possible.** Dieter Langenecker PS: A contribution of € 15,- for room rent, coffee/tea, and cookies will be collected. **Watch this short video:** https://youtu.be/oDIeSXdBhSo?si=UETKdXHAi4Dzr9u6

**„Warum schiebe ich finanzielle Vorsorge vor mir her?“** Offener Frauen-Workshop über innere Blockaden, Geld & ins Tun kommen. Keine Vorkenntnisse nötig. **[Anmeldeformular](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeZRr4V4XBHWedAtf9AaGJjB2LFwuBeU34iz5MRujAM3fH82Q/viewform)** Du möchtest dein Geld nicht länger nur auf der Seite haben, sondern sinnvoll anlegen und vorsorgen – und merkst gleichzeitig, dass dich innere Hürden, Unsicherheit oder alte Glaubenssätze zurückhalten? Vielleicht fragst du dich, ob du „schon soweit“ bist, um dein Geld für dich arbeiten zu lassen, hast Respekt vor Risiken oder einfach noch keinen klaren ersten Schritt gesehen. In diesem **Workshop** schaffen wir zuerst Raum zum Verstehen – und dann zum Handeln. **Teil 1 – Verstehen, was uns zurückhält (Gruppenformat & Safe Space)** In einer kleinen, wertschätzenden Runde sprechen wir darüber: •⁠ ⁠was uns davon abhält, uns mit Geld zu beschäftigen •⁠ ⁠welche mentalen Hürden und Unsicherheiten es gibt •⁠ ⁠welche alten Glaubenssätze über Geld uns geprägt haben •⁠ ⁠und was Geld und Investieren mit Selbstwert zu tun haben können Du bist damit nicht allein – und genau dafür schaffen wir einen geschützten Raum für ehrlichen Austausch. **Teil 2 – Ins Tun kommen** Im zweiten Teil geht es darum, wie du deinen eigenen Weg findest: •⁠ ⁠wie du erste konkrete Schritte setzen kannst •⁠ ⁠wie du Hürden nach und nach überwindest •⁠ ⁠wie du dir Orientierung verschaffst und Sicherheit aufbaust •⁠ ⁠und wie ein Einstieg aussehen kann, der wirklich zu dir passt **Ohne Druck. Ohne Vorwissen. In deinem Tempo.** Unabhängige Informationsveranstaltung - kein Produktverkauf! Kostenlos – freiwillige Spende willkommen. This workshop is for women interested in personal growth, overcoming inner blocks and building a healthier relationship with money.

## Wall Concept Workshop – Create Images Designed for Space This is not a casual photoshoot. This session is dedicated to creating photographs specifically designed to live on a wall — in a real room, with intention. We will shoot with one question in mind: **Where will this image hang?** Instead of random concepts, we will build visuals that fit a specific interior: • Modern minimalist living room • Warm textured bedroom • Industrial loft • Office or creative workspace • Dark moody hallway Participants will: • Define a room concept before shooting • Choose color palettes that complement that space • Create a single statement piece or a cohesive series • Shoot with final print size in mind • Plan framing and aspect ratio intentionally • Discuss grading for print vs screen We will also cover: – Tonal consistency for series – Negative space for wall breathing – Horizontal vs vertical dominance – Print scale (60×90, 100×150, square formats) – Fine art paper vs canvas considerations This session is slower, conceptual, and deliberate. The goal is not volume. The goal is to leave with one image — or a small series — that genuinely belongs in a room. Limited spots to maintain creative focus. Cost to cover printing & creativity: 45€ Duration: approx. 3 hours If you want to shoot for Instagram, this is not it. If you want to create work that transforms a space, join.

An immersive workshop for adults, quiet hands, patient minds, and those who enjoy the slow rhythm of creation. 🌿Limited spots. The group is limited to 8 people. You can secure your place by purchasing a ticket through the link: https://doobeedoo-goodies.sumupstore.com/produkt/humming-traditions-sodai-straw-form-and-wind 🌿Date: 22nd of February 🌿Time: 15:00—17:00 (it might take longer, depending on group tempo) 🌿Location: DooBeeDoo Goodies Atelier (Märzstraße 86, 1150 Vienna) Step into the gentle rhythm of creation and discover Sodai, traditional Lithuanian straw mobiles that once filled homes with balance, harmony, and quiet beauty. In this workshop, we will explore the geometry of air, learning how to prepare and string straw into delicate symmetrical forms that sway softly with every breeze. Piece by piece, your hands will follow the same patterns that generations before us used to invite order and peace into their homes. You’ll learn the basic techniques of straw preparation, stringing, and construction, and experience how a simple natural material can transform into something light, precise, and full of meaning. Together, we’ll move through a calm, meditative process, each gesture connecting thought, breath, and creation in quiet balance. By the end, you’ll leave not only with your own handmade Sodas, a timeless ornament carrying both heritage and your creative touch, but also with the knowledge, focus, and stillness that this ancient craft awakens. It feels less like finishing an object and more like completing a gentle ritual of patience and peace. To keep the experience personal and attentive, the group will be small and intimate, space is limited, so that every participant can receive individual guidance and care. This workshop invites you to slow down, focus, and reconnect — with your hands, your thoughts, and the quiet poetry of simple materials. No previous experience is needed, only patient hands, a calm mind, and an eye for quiet detail. 🌿🌿🌿 Humming Traditions is a series of creative workshops that explore the living, breathing essence of cultural practices. Each event invites participants to connect with ancient techniques, natural materials, and artistic expression in a hands-on, immersive experience. The series celebrates the quiet resonance of tradition, the subtle vibrations, textures, and forms that have carried meaning through centuries. Whether through sound, movement, or craft, Humming Traditions is about experiencing culture as a living, dynamic, and tactile art form. Each workshop stands on its own yet shares a common thread: creativity, mindfulness, and a connection to nature and heritage. Participants leave with newly learned skills, a calm mind, and a deeper appreciation for cultural artistry.

In this session, we’ll explore how GitHub Spec-Kit enables teams to treat specifications as first-class artifacts—living documents that drive architecture, implementation, and verification. You’ll learn how Spec-Kit helps teams clearly express intent using structured, version-controlled specs that live alongside code. We’ll walk through a practical workflow that starts with defining system behavior and constraints, then progressively refines those specs into testable, automatable outcomes. Along the way, we’ll show how specs can reduce ambiguity, improve cross-functional collaboration, and make design decisions explicit before a single line of production code is written. This talk will cover: --What spec-driven development is (and what it isn’t) --How GitHub Spec-Kit fits into modern developer workflows --Using specs to align product, engineering, and AI-assisted development --Real-world examples of turning specs into implementations with confidence Whether you’re building greenfield systems, integrating AI into your stack, or trying to reduce costly rework, spec-driven development offers a scalable way to move faster without sacrificing clarity. Attendees will leave with concrete patterns and a clear mental model for adopting GitHub Spec-Kit in their own projects. **YouTube Link** TBA

**⚔️ Introduction to Wargaming & Painting Miniature Soldiers at The Arcane Foundry ⚔️** Join me in **The War Room at [The Arcane Foundry](https://share.google/S5i6DYJnJteHWeKtd)** for a laid-back evening of hobby talk and tabletop fun! For just **$15**, you’ll get a **3D-printed regiment of 20 high quality resin models** of your choice to paint — a **$40 value!** Bring your creativity, relax, and let’s make something awesome together. **Choose one from Below:** * 20 Orc Warriors * 20 Empire Soldiers * 20 Dwarf Warriors * 20 Elf Spearmen Step into a world where strategy meets artistry — and where every painted figure tells a story of battle, honor, and imagination. Join **Daclaud** at **The Arcane Foundry** for an evening that introduces newcomers and enthusiasts alike to the timeless craft of **tabletop wargaming** and **miniature painting**. My own journey began with a fascination for fantasy — knights in armor, grim and hardened warriors, and monstrous creatures locked in epic battle. That passion led me to **Dungeons & Dragons**, where I painted my first **Basic Heroes set** and felt the spark that comes from bringing a character to life in miniature form. Not long after, I discovered **Warhammer Fantasy** and **Warhammer 40,000**, and I was hooked. The vision of vast armies clashing across the table — each unit meticulously painted, each story unfolding through dice and imagination — became my creative obsession. During this event, we’ll explore the **origins of wargaming**, from its early military simulations to the richly detailed worlds of modern tabletop battle systems. You’ll learn how to **build and customize your own armies**, paint your first figures, and experience the joy of turning strategy and storytelling into a hands-on art form. Whether you’re drawn by the lore, the hobby, or the thrill of commanding miniature legions, this introduction will open the gates to a world that has captivated hobbyists for generations. **🎨 RSVP today and join us at The Arcane Foundry — where every brushstroke and battle tells a story.**
