**Ecstatic Dance** \- Beyond Words **Season Opening** Am Sonntag, 18.1.26 um 18:00, eröffnen wir gemeinsam das neue Ecstatic Dance Jahr der Vitality Base – nicht mit Vorsätzen, nicht mit Worten. Sondern mit dem, was bleibt, wenn alles Laute verstummt. Mit dem Körper. Mit dem Moment. Mit dir. Dieser Abend wird leiser und sanfter als gewohnt. Wir wollen mit viel Klarheit aus der Ruhe des Winter starten. Weniger Worte, mehr Raum zum Fühlen. DJ Ion und Valerie begleiten uns durch diesen Abend als Duo – vom ersten Ton des Intros bis zur letzten Welle der Sound Journey. Zwei Künstler, ein Raum, ein gemeinsames Gewebe aus Klang und Stille.

### A Contemplative Retreat for Inner Peace and Strength in 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**.

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 All contributions include guidance throughout the weekend, reflection materials, and mindful snacks and tea prepared in a spirit of simple *feasting*.
