Letting Go

Come write with us at Cafe Pierre every Sunday at 18:00-20:00! A message from Shut Up & Write: "Shut Up & Write hosts free, in-person and online writing events for writers all over the world. Our goal is to ensure that every writer—regardless of genre or skill level—has access to the resources, community, and accountability that they need to be successful in their personal writing goals." And what this looks like at our event: We chat and give short introductions to what we are working on at 18:00, then start writing at 18:15. Though we try to start on dot, being late isn't a problem—just find a spot and get to work! We write until 20:00 and then discuss how our writing went. From fiction to non-fiction, academic papers to poetry, applications to work-related writing—anything goes! Nothing is needed except for you to bring whatever is need to get stuff done, i.e. laptop, headphones, pen and paper, and so on. Optional socialising may happen before 18:00 and after 20:00, or you may choose to use this time to get some more done! Please do order something from the café (drink, meal, dessert, etc.) so as to keep us in their good graces!

❄️ Welcome to Seek Discomfort – Ice Bathing Club Vienna! 🧊 Ready to do something a little crazy… in the best way? We’re a welcoming community of people who love stepping outside our comfort zones, trying new things, and facing the cold together. No matter who you are, where you’re from, or how old you are — you’re welcome here. New to Vienna? An expat? Just curious? Perfect. Most of our meetups are in English, and it’s a great way to connect with like-minded people.

Depending on the weather and the mood, we might do a breathwork before dipping. ❗️Safety first, always. No pressure, no ego. You only do what feels right for you. Expect encouragement, positive energy, and a shared adventure you won’t forget. 🎒 What to bring: Swimsuit, towel, warm clothes, and something hot to drink. Come challenge yourself, feel alive, and maybe even fall in love with the cold. Hope to see you in the water soon 🧊🔥

**Family of Abundance** Sonntag, 26.04.2026 Dieses Wochenende ist rand voll mit Ecstatic Dance Events. Zum Landen machen wir also **statt unserem regulären Dance** einen tiefer in die Verbindung gehenden **Familienabend**. Weniger Bühne, mehr Wohnzimmer. Weniger Sensation, mehr geerdetes Aufladen. Ein Wohlfühlabend, mit besonders nährenden Momentan. Wir bringen die vielen wundervollen Geschenke der letzten Abundance Circles zusammen und schaffen einen offen Rahmen in dem wir als echte Familie die Abundance in unserem Alltag, in unserem gemeinsamen Hier und Jetzt wirklich Leben können. Wir beginnen im offenen Miteinander, sitzen beieinander, essen mitgebrachte Lieblingsspeisen, atmen durch, lassen die Woche ausklingen. Danach gehen wir miteinander in einen Abundance Circle – als Familie, die sich tiefer wahrnimmt, in einem immer klareren Fülle Feld. Mit einer kleinen Zeremonie, mit Kakao, mit viel Raum für das, was gerade da sein will. Nichts muss, vieles kann entstehen. Wir schenken uns und dem Thema Fülle Aufmerksamkeit und hören gut auf einander. Was danach passiert, entscheiden wir zusammen. Singen. Tanzen, ganz sanft, ganz akustisch. Den Kreis weitertragen – wir lauschen und folgen dem Impuls. Das ist ja eigentlich der Punkt: dass wir wieder lernen, aufeinander zu hören statt ein Programm abzuspulen. Klar angeleitet, damit die Energie aufrecht gehalten bleibt. Zum Abschluss lauschen wir einer Sound Journey wo jeder für sich sein kann oder in der Mitte des Raumes im Kuddle Circle. Nah. Warm. Getragen. Dann lassen wir gemeinsam ausklingen. Jeder bleibt solange er will – mit weiterem Essen, Musik und was sich aus der Entspanntheit heraus öffnet. **Ablauf** 🍲 16:00 Gemütliches Ankommen mit Potluck 💎 17:30 Abundance Circle mit Zeremonie 🪔 18:00 Wohlfühlraum & Kakao – gemeinsam im Abundance-Feld verankern 🎶 19:00 Wahlprogramm – Singen, Tanzen, Circle weiterführen (sanft & akustisch) 🌺 21:00 Sound Journey mit Kuddle Circle 🪷 22:00 Offenes Ende – Essen, Musik, Familie 🌿Als Beitrag, nimm bitte dein Lieblingsgericht und einen Förderbeitrag für unseren Raum mit. 📍 Vitality Base Vienna, Leberstraße 118A, 1110 Wien Find.VitaltiyBase.at 🔗 events.vitalitybase.at

It is open for all levels and beginner friendly. :) If you want to join please sign in/out as the class will only take place if enugh people join (min. 3, but there is additional another whattsapp group with more people joining) The price is 13€/ unit. A few more words about this practise: it consists of bodywork - specific exercises designed to release tension and stress in your body. It also includes joint opening and the actual QiGong practise. This QiGong you could call Yin-Jang QiGong, as it prepares you for TaiJi (Wu style). This means it is designed to create balance in your body and movement, restructuring old unhealthy movement patterns and aligning your body. Also central part of this practise (the most powerful one) is that it leads to inner silence, connecting you with your body and silencing your mind. In this silence many virtues as patience, respect, perseverence, discipline... arise/ are transmitted. It is especially beneficial to strngthen your ability to focus and for stress relief. If you have any questions, want to join the whattsappgroup or want more informations feel free to text me or write an email: simone_tomasi@yahoo.com The event will take place also with rainy weather!

Eine kleine „Sonderausgabe“ der Kaffeerunde für alle, die auch gern lesen. Dieses Mal probieren wir etwas Neues: wir lesen gemeinsam ein Buch und treffen uns, um darüber zu sprechen. In kleiner Runde tauschen wir uns über unsere Eindrücke aus: über Figuren, Themen, und unterschiedliche Perspektiven. Für diese erste Leserunde schlage ich das Buch **„Ostblockherz“ von Didi Drobna** vor (ca. 180 Seiten). Der Roman berührt Themen wie Familie, Migration, Herkunft und die manchmal schwierige Beziehung zwischen Eltern und Kindern. Wenn Interesse besteht, können wir die Leserunde gerne gelegentlich wiederholen. Für zukünftige Bücher können wir dann auch gemeinsam Vorschläge sammeln. Für alle, die grundsätzlich Interesse haben, habe ich außerdem eine kleine **[WhatsApp-Gruppe](https://chat.whatsapp.com/FKmgnp4UkAZGpdBWxrJywG?mode=hqctcla) speziell für die Leserunde** erstellt. Dort können wir Ideen für kommende Bücher sammeln und sehen, wann eine nächste Runde stattfinden könnte. 👉Da die Runde bewusst klein ist, ist **Zuverlässigkeit besonders wichtig**. Bitte melde dich nur an, wenn du wirklich teilnehmen kannst, und gib rechtzeitig Bescheid, falls doch etwas dazwischenkommt. Ich freue mich auf eure Eindrücke und eine spannende Diskussion!

Are you ready to mingle and make new friends? A YouTuber visited our event 😃 [[3-minute video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eG1dYro4u8)] **"How does it work?"** We talk in small groups and rotate every \~10 minutes.

*english below* **Sonntag\, 26\.04\. \| 13:30–15:30 Uhr** **Sprache:** Englisch oder Deutsch, je nach Teilnehmerinnen. *≈ Wir haben schon eine kleine Community und freuen uns, auch neue Frauen\* über MeetUp kennenzulernen. ≈* Komm am Sonntag, den 26.04., zu einem kleinen und intimen Frauen\*kreis zum Teilen, Verbinden und gemeinsamen Praktizieren von Körper- und Atemübungen. Dieses Mal werden wir uns nicht mit einem bestimmten Thema beschäftigen, sondern das teilen, was gerade in uns ist: Welche Herausforderungen haben wir in letzter Zeit, was fällt uns schwer, was leicht? Wie fühlen wir uns gerade? Unsere Frauen\*kreise bieten einen unterstützenden und bewussten Raum, um langsamer zu werden, tiefer in Verbindung zu kommen und zu teilen, was gerade in uns – meist im Zusammenhang mit dem jeweiligen Thema – präsent ist. Wir beginnen gemeinsam mit einer Tasse Tee und nehmen uns Zeit, anzukommen und uns aufzuwärmen. In den zwei Stunden – mit einer kurzen Pause dazwischen – teilen wir unsere Erfahrungen, Gefühle und Herausforderungen sowie unseren Umgang damit. Zwischendurch machen wir themenbezogene Körper- und Atemübungen, die ich anleite. Jeder Kreis ist auf maximal sechs Frauen\* begrenzt, damit jede genügend Raum hat, um zu sprechen, zuzuhören und gehört zu werden. Willkommen sind alle, die sich in irgendeiner Weise mit dem Begriff Frau oder FLINTA identifizieren oder identifizieren möchten. **Wichtig:** Wir sitzen auf dem Boden auf einer japanischen Matte. Es gibt einige Kissen, aber bring dir gerne ein eigenes Kissen und/oder eine Decke mit, wenn du es bequemer haben möchtest. Falls das Sitzen auf dem Boden für dich nicht angenehm ist, stehen auch Stühle und ein Sofa zur Verfügung. Bitte versuche, pünktlich zu kommen, damit wir gemeinsam beginnen und gemeinsam enden können. Bei Fragen gerne privat schreiben. \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* **Sunday\, April 26 \| 13:30–15:30** **Language:** English or German, depending on participants ≈ *We already have a small community and are happy to welcome new women\* through Meetup.* ≈ Join us on Sunday, 26.04., for a small and intimate women\* circle for sharing, connecting, and practicing body and breath exercises together. This time, we will not focus on a specific topic, but rather share what is present within us: What challenges have we been facing lately, what feels difficult, what feels easy? How are we feeling right now? Our women\* circles offer a supportive and mindful space to slow down, come into deeper connection, and share what is currently present within us – often in relation to a given theme. We will begin together with a cup of tea and take time to arrive and warm up. During the two hours – with a short break in between – we will share our experiences, feelings, and challenges, as well as how we are dealing with them. In between, we will do guided body and breath exercises led by me. Each circle is limited to a maximum of six women\*, so that everyone has enough space to speak, listen, and be heard. Welcome are all people who identify with the term woman or FLINTA in any way, or who wish to do so. **Important:** We will sit on the floor on a Japanese mat. There are some cushions available, but feel free to bring your own cushion and/or blanket if you would like to be more comfortable. If sitting on the floor is not comfortable for you, chairs and a sofa are also available. Please try to arrive on time so that we can start and end together. Feel free to message me privately if you have any questions.

The emotional pain from past bad experiences easily lingers in the present, making it hard to enjoy life and create your future. Even when you think you've moved on, the negative emotions can be triggered, sending you back into the pain of that experience. And we are talking about pain; emotions such as grief, depression, anxiety, fear (or terror), boiling anger, simmering resentment, feelings of shame, blaming and regret can leave you incapacitated to a greater or lesser degree. In this local event we will be discussing the reasons why these past bad experiences have the power to affect you long after they occurred. We'll go over why the emotional pain can be so strong. We'll also discuss some simple solutions to overcome your emotional pain and be free to fully enjoy your life again. Examples of painful experiences include: * A broken relationship or divorce. * Death or loss of a loved one. * Death of a pet. * A sudden shock or bad news. * A betrayal. * Being part of an abusive relationship. * A bad injustice. * Loss of a job, position or business. * A grave illness or injury. The negative emotions from these experiences don't just go away on their own. But the good news is there is a way to clear them out of your way. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is sponsored the Dianetics & Scientology Self-Improvement Center.

Main Library, Meeting Room 2B Join us for a welcoming evening of reflection, gentle music, and meaningful conversation. We’ll begin with a short grounding moment, followed by a brief reading from spiritual or philosophical traditions, and an open reflection circle where participants can share (or simply listen). Libera Animae is an interfaith community focused on inner growth, creativity, and authentic connection. All backgrounds are welcome.

In this local meeting, you will discover knowledge that you can use to get over the past. The key to improving your personal motivation, self-confidence, and happiness is to get over your painful memories. When you become free of your past, you will be free from stress, anger, anxiety and depression. Studies show that negative emotions can affect your health. By being free of negative emotions, believe it or not, you will most likely even look younger, feel more energetic, and become healthier!

This group is brought to you by the Dianetics and Scientology life improvement center.

Let’s meet and share our thoughts about Carson McCullers’ novella, The Ballad of The Sad Café.

This is an in-person meeting. Did you know that unwanted emotions like loneliness, sadness, hopelessness, anger, fear, anxiety, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not chemical imbalance in your brain due to some nebulous chemical reactions by chance. Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. For instance, let's say you are already carrying a huge load on your back, then you cannot take on much more, but, let's say something else happens to you, such as the difficulties from the Pandemic, then the resultant combined weight on you can take you over the edge, kind of like the straw that break the camel's back. When this happens, people's attention usually goes to the straw that was added, but actually the majority of the weight had come from the huge load that were already there, holding a person down and causing a person issues. So how do you remove the huge load that was already there? How do you lighten them up? Is it possible to get rid of them? That is what this meeting will be all about. Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

This is a free, in person meeting. Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. We look forward to having you join us! This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
