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: 27th of May 🌿Time: 18:00—20:30 (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.

Please read everything! Check this event again on the day (weather updates, last‑minute changes, etc.).

This is your chance to: * Mingle with familiar and new faces * Exchange contacts * Enjoy easy, casual conversations * Soak up good vibes and fresh air 🌳 …or just show up and have a good time.

Hi everyone! I am happy to share the second (and much belated) event of this group in Vienna: an ice cream crawl! I swear I will host some events that aren't crawls at some point, especially now that the weather is nice, but that comes later 🌞. This crawl will start downtown, and we'll go to 4 or 5 ice cream spots. Splitting is encouraged, and I'll bring some bowls we can use to easily split/share ice cream, so everyone can try each stop without having a eat an entire scoop. After the last stop, we'll go hang in the park. The exact stops are tbd and will be released a few days before the crawl! Some other information: * this event is sunshine-only: if it is quite cloudy/cold or raining, we'll postpone * Bring a blanket to sit on at the park afterwards * You can join anytime throughout the crawl, as I'll post updates when we head to the next location. However, during the crawl I won't be able to respond to individual messages. Finally, some reminders: * Please keep your rsvp up to date if you can't make it, to let folks on the waitlist have a chance to come. If you're on the waitlist but really want to come feel free to message me and it will probably happen. But if you're on the waitlist and haven't confirmed with me please don't come. * There is a strict no-harrasment policy. If someone tells you to stop doing something, stop immediately. If anyone is making you uncomfortable, let a host know right away.

**Achtung:** **Dieser Kurs besteht aus zwei Teilen: der 2. Teil folgt in zwei Wochen am 13. Juni!** Bitte stellen Sie sicher, dass Sie an beiden Kursteilen teilnehmen können! Manchmal lassen wir uns einschüchtern von anderen, die sich mit größter Selbstverständlichkeit mit ihren Ansichten und Interessen in den Vordergrund stellen. * **Manchmal sind wir sprachlos, wenn andere uns beleidigen, uns klein reden oder Dinge von uns verlangen, die wir nicht wollen, aber dennoch nicht ablehnen können.** In einer kleinen freundlichen Gruppe üben wir uns darin zu wachsen, fest zu stehen, Grenzen zu ziehen und uns durchzusetzen: körperlich, emotional und verbal. Damit wir es das nächste Mal da draußen auch schaffen! **Die Sprache im Workshop ist Deutsch.** Teilnehmende, deren Erstsprache nicht Deutsch ist, sollten mindestens **Deutschniveau B2** haben. Bei Verständnisfragen kann jedoch auf Englisch oder Französisch übersetzt werden. - **-->** **Dieser Workshop wurde neu erstellt, deshalb ist die Teilnahme kostenlos.** **Doch eine freiwillige Spende ist sehr willkommen!** **Hinweis:** **Dieser Kurs wird voraussichtlich in absehbarer Zeit auch auf Englisch und auf Französisch angeboten werden. Bei Interesse bitte dieser Gruppe folgen!** **+++++++** **STANDING TALL WITH CONFIDENCE - 1st part** **Attention please:** **This course consists of 2 parts!** **The 2nd part will take place the 13th of June.** Please make sure that you can participate at both parts! Sometimes we let ourselves be intimidated by others who naturally push themselves to the forefront with their views and interests. * **Sometimes we are left speechless when others insult us, belittle us, or demand things that we don’t want but feel unable to refuse.** In a small, friendly group, we practice growing, standing firm, setting boundaries, and asserting ourselves: physically, emotionally, and verbally – so that we can succeed out there next time! **The workshop language is German**. Participants whose first language is not German should have **at least a B2 level**. However, for comprehension questions, translations into English or French can be provided. **--> This workshop has been newly created, therefore the participation will be free of charge.** **But free donation will be very welcome!** **Note:** **This course is also expected to be offered in English in the near future. If you are interested, please follow this group!** **+++++++** **S'AFFIRMER AVEC ASSURANCE - 1ère partie** **Attention: ce cours est divisé en deux parties!** **La 2ème partie se déroulera au 13 juin.** S.v.p., assurez-vous de pouvoir participer à toutes les deux parties! Parfois, nous nous laissons intimider par d'autres qui se mettent en avant avec leurs opinions et leurs intérêts avec la plus grande assurance. * **Parfois, nous restons sans voix lorsque d'autres nous insultent, nous rabaissent ou exigent de nous des choses que nous ne voulons pas, mais que nous n'arrivons pourtant pas à refuser.** Au sein d'un petit groupe bienveillant, nous nous exerçons à grandir, à rester fermes, à poser des limites et à nous affirmer : physiquement, émotionnellement et verbalement. Pour que nous y arrivions aussi, la prochaine fois, dans le monde extérieur ! **La langue du workshop est l'allemand.** Les participants dont la langue maternelle n'est pas l'allemand doivent avoir **au moins un niveau B2.** En cas de questions de compréhension, une traduction en anglais ou en français est toutefois possible. **--> Cet atelier vient d'être crée et pour cette raison la participation sera gratuite.** **Mais une donation libre sera la bienvenue!** **Remarque :** **Ce cours sera probablement proposé prochainement aussi en français. Si vous êtes intéressé(e), n'hésitez pas à suivre ce groupe !**

Let’s meet and share discussion of the James Baldwin short story collection, Going to Meet The Man.

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.

On a list of "My Favorite Things", few people would put a "break up" in their top ten. More often, these words evoke feelings of shame, embarrassment, poor choices, and bad or sad endings. Before the new and beautiful can be built, the old, broken, and unnecessary must be cleared away. This process can be painful, but it is good, needful, and can produce wonderful results when done wisely and well. How does one break free from anxiety, comparison, or shame? Christian Bevere points people to the freedom God desires for His children, as well as giving practical ideas on how to shed both unhealthy baggage and the lies that seek to leave us anchored to past failure. Drawing from the Bible, ***Break Up With What Broke You*** clearly shows that what Satan would seek to use for evil, God uses for good and to accomplish His purposes. Join us **Tuesday, June 2, 2026, at 6:30 pm**, when we gather at **True Food Kitchen, Easton Town Center, Columbus**. We'd love to see you there! Get your tickets on [EventBrite](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/break-up-with-what-broke-you-columbus-ohio-tickets-1987018079565)!

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.

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.
