In the soft stillness of early morning, step into the gentle rhythm of creation and discover Sodai, traditional Lithuanian straw mobiles that once filled homes with balance, harmony, and quiet beauty. Before the world fully awakens, we gather in a calm, focused space where hands begin to move and thoughts begin to settle. 🌿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: 24th of June 🌿Time: 07:30—10:00 (it might take longer, depending on group tempo) 🌿Location: DooBeeDoo Goodies Atelier (Märzstraße 86, 1150 Vienna) An immersive workshop for adults, quiet hands, patient minds, and those who enjoy the slow rhythm of creation. 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 special Sun/Star Edition of SODAI – Straw, Form and Wind, we will create a radiant ornament inspired by one of the oldest and most enduring symbols in Baltic folk culture: the sun. Crafted from simple natural straw, these luminous forms have long been associated with light, vitality, protection, abundance, and the ever-turning cycle of life. Though distinct from the hanging geometry of traditional Sodai, the straw sun shares the same quiet beauty, symbolism, and connection to nature that have made straw craftsmanship a cherished tradition for generations. In this workshop, we will learn how to prepare, shape, and assemble straw into a delicate sun or star form. Piece by piece, individual elements come together in harmonious balance, transforming humble natural materials into an ornament that feels both timeless and radiant. As your hands work with the straw, you will discover how repetition, attention, and patience can turn simple actions into a meditative and deeply rewarding creative process. You’ll learn the fundamental techniques needed to construct the ornament while experiencing the quiet focus that traditional handcrafts naturally invite. Each step offers an opportunity to slow down, observe, and create with intention, allowing the mind to settle while the form gradually emerges. By the end of the workshop, you’ll leave with your own handmade straw sun or star, carrying both cultural heritage and your personal creative touch. More than an ornament, it becomes a symbol of warmth, light, and the timeless human desire to bring beauty and meaning into everyday life. To keep the experience personal and attentive, the group will be small and intimate, allowing every participant to receive individual guidance and support throughout the process. Suitable for both returning and first-time participants. While inspired by traditional Sodai craftsmanship, this workshop focuses on creating a straw sun/star ornament, a distinct form with its own symbolism and construction techniques. 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 curious mind, and an eye for quiet detail. 🌿🌿🌿 Humming Traditions is a series of creative workshops that explore the living, breathing essence of cultural practices.

**Eugenio Belgrado \ / Bert Schifferdecker** *portraits and dreams* **Live portrait painting and photography** *Be part of the picture...* WHEN: **25 June, 7-9:30 pm** WHERE: **The Living Room**, 1080 Vienna\* Free admission. Small contributions are welcome. Reservation (here on meetup) is required. \*New to the Living Room? We'll send you a message of confirmation containing the address.

This time we’ll meet in Stadtpark for a portrait session / workshop, with plenty of time to experiment and work in different light situations. It’s a great opportunity to practise working with natural light outdoors, work with a model, and also get a few portraits for yourself. We’ll start with simpler portrait setups and then move into more creative and experimental directions as we go. Each person will have time to photograph the model but can also practice on the side, try different approaches, and also jump in for quick portraits in between. The idea is that we rotate setups a few times and explore how light, background, and small changes in direction affect the image. We’ll have a model with us throughout the session. Donation fee: 5€ Feel free to bring snacks and drinks — it’s a relaxed, open session.
