Gespräche über Spiritualität, Seele, Sinn, Stille und Bewusstes Sein (Deutsch)
**Jenseits des Oberflächlichen – mit spiritueller Tiefe, praktischer Inspiration und in entspannter Atmosphäre.**
*"Es gibt absolut nichts Falsches daran, auf der „Ebene der Form“ zu manifestieren – sei es materieller Wohlstand, kreative Errungenschaften oder Dinge dieser Art. Tatsächlich kann das Manifestieren auf diese Weise zu den lohnendsten und erfüllendsten Erfahrungen auf unserer menschlichen Reise gehören.*
*Doch für viele von uns geht wahre Manifestation über die äußere Welt hinaus und dringt tiefer – in unser inneres Sein (und darüber hinaus)."* (N.N.)
### Einladung zu den nächsten **Spirituellen Gesprächen**
Bist du es leid, Gespräche zu führen, die an der Oberfläche bleiben?
Sehnst du dich nach Austausch, der inspiriert, berührt – und wirklich etwas in dir bewegt?
Dann lade ich dich herzlich zu den **Spirituellen Gesprächen** ein:
einer zweistündigen Zusammenkunft für Menschen, die sich nach Tiefe, Orientierung und einem sinnerfüllten Leben sehnen.
Gemeinsam erforschen wir, wie es ist, im **Jetzt** zu leben –
jenseits von Gedankenmustern, innerem Lärm und der rein verstandesmäßigen Sicht auf die Welt.
### Wer ist eingeladen?
Menschen mitten im Leben (typischerweise 45+), die
* äußerlich vieles erreicht haben, sich innerlich aber noch nicht ganz angekommen fühlen
* eine tiefere spirituelle Verbindung und echten Sinn suchen
* persönliche Begleitung und Austausch auf Augenhöhe schätzen
### Themen, in die wir gemeinsam eintauchen
* **Spiritualität erforschen** – die Verbundenheit von Selbst und Leben entdecken
* **Weisheit kultivieren** – innere Ruhe, Kraft und Klarheit wachsen lassen
* **Mit Wandel umgehen** – Lebensübergänge bewusst gestalten
* **Den eigenen Sinn erkennen** – was trägt dich wirklich?
* **Dem Leben vertrauen** – Freude, Liebe und Offenheit zulassen
Bring deine Gedanken, Fragen und das mit, was dich gerade bewegt.
Wir teilen Einsichten, Erfahrungen und Impulse – ohne Dogma, ohne Belehrung.
Diese Gespräche sind **frei von religiösen oder spirituellen Zugehörigkeiten**.
### Über mich
Ich bin **Dieter Langenecker**, spiritueller Begleiter und Moderator für tiefgehende Gespräche.
Seit vielen Jahren unterstütze ich Menschen dabei, innere Klarheit zu finden, ihrem eigenen Weg zu vertrauen und ein Leben zu gestalten, das sich stimmig und erfüllt anfühlt.
👉 *Hier kannst du dir ein Bild von meiner Arbeit machen:* **[Video](https://youtu.be/_BN4Ch42EUk)**
Ein Nachmittag für **Tiefe, Offenheit und echte Verbindung**.
Begegne Gleichgesinnten, lass dich inspirieren und genieße eine warme, ruhige Atmosphäre.
Für Gebäck und Getränke ist gesorgt.
**Beitrag:** € 15,-
(zur Deckung der Kosten für Kaffee/Tee, gesunde Süßigkeiten und Raummiete)
Bitte gib mir kurz Bescheid, falls du doch nicht teilnehmen kannst.
Und sei bitte pünktlich.
Falls das Haupttor geschlossen ist, nutze den Code **2008 + Schlüsselsymbol** oder schreibe mir unter **0681 1069 1321**.
Wenn dich das anspricht, **melde dich jetzt an** und sei Teil einer tiefgehenden Gesprächsrunde.
Ich freue mich auf dich.

Meet and Draw Meetup
Join us to drink coffee, draw and meet new like-minded people.
You can bring any materials you like: pencils, watercolors, crayons... :) If you don't have anything - no problem, I always have paper and materials to share.
See you! :)
The Science of (Self-)Love – Cultivating Compassion for Yourself and Others
Love and compassion – for yourself and for others.
Beyond romance, love is the foundation of how we relate – to
friends, family, and our own inner voice. Many of us show care for
others but struggle to extend the same kindness toward ourselves.
This workshop combines gentle yoga, breathing, and neuroscience, introspection, pair- and group activities to explore how compassion transforms our inner dialogue and relationships. It also explores the science of love and compassion, guiding participants through practices that nurture self-acceptance, empathy, and deeper, healthier connections within the community.
Please sign up here: https://forms.gle/n1Hyz93tZTq4czfc7
You’ll explore:
The basics of (neuro)science behind love and compassion.
How to apply non-violent communication with ourselves –
replacing judgment with acceptance.
How to practice gentle conscious movement and breathwork
for emotional balance and self-care.
Mantras like “I suffer, please help” and “I know you suffer, I’m
here for you” to foster mutual care and love (including
journalling). Join us to nurture self-love and build bridges of kindness in the community. Please bring paper and a pen. Cash donation is appreciated. Pause. Sense. Breathe. Return to yourself.
In a world of speed, multitasking, and constant stimulation, true presence becomes a rare and powerful skill. This interactive workshop offers a space to slow down, reconnect with your body, and understand how mindfulness and meditation transforms your brain, your communication, and your moment-to-moment experience.
Through a blend of neuroscience, mindfulness tools, introspection, pair- and group activities, we explore how the brain, body, and nervous system shape the way we feel, interact, and respond. You’ll learn how posture, breath, emotional signals, and internal narratives influence communication – and how mindful presence can shift everything.
You’ll explore:
The neuroscience of mindfulness, meditation and self-awareness.
How feelings, needs, and body sensations shape your relationships.
How to meet difficult emotions with curiosity and compassion.
How to practice RAIN as a gentle, structured process.
How Metta meditation softens the heart and supports resilience.
How body language influences communication and nervous system safety.
How breath and movements bring you back into the present moment.
Ideal for anyone wanting to live and communicate with more clarity, intention, and authenticity – in body, mind, and heart.
Please bring paper and a pen. Cash donation is appreciated.

The Mindful BAse x Villa Vida
Where science meets mindfulness – for awareness, connection, and community. At The Mindful BAse, we believe that mindfulness is not only a personal practice, but also a powerful way to strengthen relationships, communities, and our connection with our environment. Founded in Vienna in 2025, our mission is simple: to bring people together, foster well-being, and cultivate a community rooted in awareness, kindness, compassion and respect.
Through our collaboration with Villa Vida, we are excited to present a series of science-based mindfulness workshops designed to encourage meaningful dialogue, nurture learning and reflection for supporting the local queer community. We create spaces where ancient practices meet modern insights, offering sessions that combine yoga, meditation, neuroscience, communication tools in a safe, inclusive and inspiring space. Each workshop invites you to slow down, connect, and learn practical ways to care for yourself and others – grounded in both science and lived experience.
🌈 All identities, bodies, and levels of experience are welcome.

Run+B-fast
Hi Running fellows,
Whether you’re a walker, new to running, a semi-pro, a marathonist or a sprint star - if you want to start your weekend in an active way and enjoy the outdoors in lovely surroundings with a fun, international and multilingual group of people, you are welcome to join us!
Every Saturday at 9:30 am, we meet, we run, in the magnificent Schönbrunn park, and then we go for breakfast.
Want to discuss politics or the best recipes for banana pancakes? Not a problem. Not feeling social? Tune out with your earbuds - we can talk over breakfast. We are casual. You can be too.
What to expect: Start by meeting Adrian, Ali, Liz, Paul and Sonia on-time at 9:30am outside the Schönbrunn U-Bahn stop (exit Grünbergstraße). (Coordinates: 48.1858130, 16.3200640) From there, we walk to the side park entrance where the “running” part begins. The important thing is that you run at your own pace. Typically, small groups of people will run at the same pace as you, so you never have to walk/run alone :)
We finish one hour later, at about 10:40am, reconvening just inside the Hietzinger Tor exit. (Coordinates: 48.1858825, 16.3032647). From there, we’re off to breakfast!
Breakfast Details: Anker bakery opposite the U4 Hietzing station and depending on the weather, grab something for a picnic in Schönbrunn park, or hang out in the bakery. If you missed us earlier, you can always go there around 10:45.
We are a fun group of runners who don’t take things too seriously. We meet, chat, RUN, stretch, chat, EAT and we hang out over a beer every now and then. It's that easy. Please join us for breakfast after the run! The more the merrier.
Typically we are 10-30 people, as not everyone who comes signs up on meetup.
Important disclaimer: Please only run as much as you feel you can, considering the temperature, weather conditions, your own fitness etc... run and walk at your own pace as the organizers do not assume any liability for any injuries or health issues. Sonia, Adrian, Ali, Paul and Liz

PCE - Philosophic Conversation in English
PCE - "Philosophic Conversation in English" is a discussion event in English language which focuses on psychology, philosophy, self-consciousness and self-realization. The conversation is based on inclusive discussion rules. We will meet at at a restaurant where we will have a private room exclusively reserved for our event.
At the beginning we will choose the topic to discuss. Everybody can suggest a topic. Then we will vote what to discuss. The person who suggested the winning topic will then explain his idea of the topic.
Afterwards everybody gets his/her chance to make a statement. But you can also decide to remain silent and only listen, if you prefer that. We have a time limit for statements, so that everybody has enough time to speak. It is not allowed to interrupt somebody who is speaking. After a statement everybody can ask a question and the speaker will answer.
After the first part there will be a 10 minutes break before we start the second part.
Everybody is welcome to our event: We are interested in your thoughts and opinions! It is no problem if you arrive late and you can also leave whenever you want.
Please check out last event's topics via this link:

Sunday Screenings in the Living Room
Weekly screenings from a large archive of many of the most significant, yet seldom seen and rarely accessible cinematic masterpieces in the history of film - from its earliest beginnings to the present day. Screenings are in original language, if English, or original language with English subtitles.
Films are selected democratically on the inspiration of a brief pre-screening discussion. The selected title is typically a "neglected gem" that most of us discover together for the first time. Individual taste is not a criterion and all participants are expected to put the interests of the group as a whole above personal preference or prejudice. In this sense, the emphasis is on openness, exploration, and surprise. Each screening is followed by an in-depth group discussion, led and moderated by the curator.
WARNNG: FilmStory is not just about watching movies! Rather, it's a socially responsible, intellectual engagement, involving an organic approach to group study of film language, philosophy, art, history, politics, and technology. In this sense, the film is always merely the current highlight in an explorative, ongoing group discussion.
**FilmStory** is a members-only series that involves a closely knit community of cinephiles. Events take place every Sunday in a comfortable, private setting with limited capacity. Participation is reserved primarily for regular members, but we're always ready to make new friends!
Non-regular members may request to meet the community and, upon acceptance as a "new joiner," are welcome to participate in one event, according to space availability. New joiners are asked to make a €6 member dues contribution in advance of the requested date. New members receive a message of confirmation and the address of the Living Room in 1080 Vienna upon receipt of their dues contribution.
**FilmStory** is presented and hosted by **[KulturSalon Wien](https://www.meetup.com/kultursalon-wien/)**.

**What is AI Freedom Alliance?**
AI Freedom Alliance promotes the responsible growth of AI guided by practical, commonsense ethics. Our nonprofit is built by

This full-day event will explore how we can ensure AI is adopted responsibly through shared ethical standards that empower
humanity. The summit will feature interactive and educational sessions led by thought leaders, technologists, policymakers, and advocates who are passionate about making AI fair, transparent, and beneficial for everyone.
**Why Attend?**
Learn about the legal and technical challenges with implementing AI solutions within your organization. Build better solutions while protecting your organization from legal and compliance risks. And learn how to think strategically about AI as a differentiation tool for your business.

Humanist Community Celebrating Darwin Day
Dale Gnidovec, Curator of the Orton Hall Museum of Geology at The Ohio State University, will be presenting a program he has wanted to share with us for a long time: Plate Tectonics. His description of his program:
Continents on the move - Nothing in Earth history makes sense without moving continents - it tells us why mountains, volcanoes, minerals, and fossils are where they are. This talk examines the evidence for continental drift, why it was disbelieved, and explains how the more-encompassing theory of plate tectonics was developed and eventually proven. Dale is an energetic, incredibly knowledgeable, and very entertaining speaker and this will be another wonderful program by Dale. Hope to see you there!
Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk.
Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online

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).
