Spring Equinox- The Wiccan Fellowship Wheel of the Year Open Ritual!
**In Wicca and other Neo-Pagan traditions the "Wheel of the Year" is central: Eight yearly festivals that echo the seasonal rites of our ancestors.**
**This month's celebration is SPRING EQUINOX!**
The **Spring Equinox**, also known as **Ostara**, is a celebration of perfect balanceâwhen day and night stand in equal measure before the light begins to overcome the dark. In Wiccan tradition, this is a moment of potent harmony, a sacred pause between the inward rest of winter and the outward blossoming of spring. Nature is stirring with fresh vitality: buds are breaking open, the air carries warmth, and the pulse of life quickens all around us.
Ostara honors the **Goddess in her maiden form**, radiant with promise and possibility, and the **God as a young, green force**, full of vigor and life. Together they dance the cycle of creation. This sabbat is a time of renewal, planting seeds (both literal and spiritual), and committing to the intentions we want to bring to fruition in the months ahead. Itâs a celebration of fertility, creativity, and joyful emergenceâwhen we align ourselves with natureâs rhythm and step forward into growth, purpose, and enchantment. đžđŁđż
**TICKETS: You can pay cash at the door (EUR 20) or buy a ticket online HERE (EUR 15):**

**(Online tickets are non-refundable.)**
**The event and the ritual will be held in English** unless otherwise noted. We sometimes do have other groups host rituals, and sometimes they work in other languages. If that is the case it will be noted here.
**Doors open at 19:30**. Ritual talk-through will start at 20:00 or so and the ritual will start soon after the talk-through. Ritual length varies but the ritual itself should be over by 21:30 to 22:00. Afterwords there will be time for socializing and merrymaking, so plan to stay longer if you're feeling social and you can. If not of course you can go when you wish. :-) There is an open bar on-site. :-)
**Attire:** Street clothes are fine but try to come dressed as much as possible in a single colour- black and white are best. If you have ritual attire (robes etc.) and would like to wear them, feel free.
Beginners and experienced practioners alike, as well as the merely curious are welcomed. We will explain everything you need to do before the ritual- it's possible (and completely fine) to jump right in.
The environment is friendly and welcoming and newcomers are welcomed! We do a full talk-through before the ritual, explain what the ritual is about and what everyone needs to know and understand, and we'll guide you through the whole thing, so there is really no problem coming if you have no idea what to expect.
Run in partnership with our friends at The Hexen/Heiden Stammtisch [Feuerkreise.at](https://feuerkreise.at/forum/index.php)/ [https://www.facebook.com/groups/271329456233561](https://www.facebook.com/groups/271329456233561).
**Feuerkreis Verein members receive a discounted entry- EUR 5.**
This must be paid at the door and in cash.

OSHO Active Meditation Day
**OSHO Active Meditation Day**

## OSHO Active Meditation Day â Friday Edition
**Freitag\, 20\. MĂ€rz \| 15:30â21:00**
**Vienna Buddha Field**
15 ⏠pro Meditation \| 35 ⏠fĂŒr den ganzen Tag \(Zahlung vor Ort\)

Die Energie unserer letzten Treffen war einfach magisch. Dieser besondere Freitagstermin ist nicht nur ein einfacher âTerminâ im Kalender â er entstand direkt aus euren WĂŒnschen, den GesprĂ€chen in unseren Sharing-Runden und der wachsenden Sehnsucht unserer Community, gemeinsam tiefer zu gehen.
Ich habe einen speziellen Ablauf vom Nachmittag bis in den Abend kreiert, um den Ballast der Woche abzuschĂŒtteln und mit einem klaren Herzen und einem stillen Geist ins Wochenende zu starten.
Der perfekte Weg, um den inneren KÀfig zu sprengen und den Tag in totaler PrÀsenz zu beginnen.
### Die volle Reise (Optionaler Start am Morgen)
FĂŒr alle, die den gesamten Tag ihrem inneren Prozess widmen möchten: **07:00 â OSHO Dynamic Meditation** geleitet von **Vadano**. Der perfekte Weg, um den Panzer zu sprengen und den Tag in totaler PrĂ€senz zu beginnen.
### Das Programm am Nachmittag
**15:30 â OSHO Gibberish Meditationâą** Der âmentale Staubsaugerâ. Eine kraftvolle, kathartische Technik, um alles auszudrĂŒcken, was wir in der Gesellschaft normalerweise unterdrĂŒcken. Wir nutzen Nonsens-Laute, um den logischen Verstand zu umgehen. *Wirf den LĂ€rm raus, finde die Stille.*
**17:15 â OSHO Laughing Drums Celebrationâą** Eine tribale Reise zurĂŒck zu unserem ursprĂŒnglichsten Rhythmus: dem Herzschlag der Mutter. Wir bewegen uns durch den ganzen Körper, tanzen und âfrierenâ in plötzliche Bewusstheit ein. *Lass die Masken fallen, werde natĂŒrlich.*
**18:30 â Gemeinsames Abendessen (Potluck)** Zeit fĂŒr Herz-zu-Herz-Begegnungen und StĂ€rkung. Bitte bringe eine kleine vegetarische Speise oder einen Snack fĂŒr unser gemeinsames Buffet mit.
**19:30 â OSHO Gourishankar Meditationâą & Sharing** Eine Abendmeditation, die durch eine spezielle Atemtechnik ein natĂŒrliches âHighâ erzeugt (wie auf dem Gipfel des Mt. Everest). Durch sanftes Schauen und spontane Bewegung (Latihan) verschmelzen wir mit der Nacht. Wir schlieĂen den Tag mit einer kurzen Sharing-Runde ab.
**21:00 â Ende**
### 
### Details
* **Mitzubringen:** Wasserflasche, bequeme Kleidung (Zwiebelprinzip ist gut) und dein Beitrag zum Potluck.
* **Leitung:** Yogi Levy (Anleitung auf Englisch).
* **Level:** Offen fĂŒr alle â vom AnfĂ€nger bis zum erfahrenen Meditierer.
**Anmeldung** Aufgrund der hohen Nachfrage und der begrenzten PlĂ€tze empfehlen wir eine frĂŒhzeitige Anmeldung. Du kannst an einzelnen Meditationen teilnehmen oder das gesamte Nachmittagsprogramm erleben.

Perfection by Vincenzo Latronico
Millennial expat couple Anna and Tom are living the dream in Berlin, in a bright, plant-filled apartment in Neukölln. They are young digital creatives, freelancers without too many constraints. They have a passion for food, progressive politics, sexual experimentation and Berlin's twenty-four-hour party scene. Their ideal existence is also that of an entire generation, lived out on Instagram, but outside the images they create for themselves, dissatisfaction and ennui burgeon. Their work as graphic designers becomes repetitive. Friends move back home, have children, grow up. An attempt at political activism during the refugee crisis proves fruitless. And in that picture-perfect life Anna and Tom feel increasingly trapped, yearning for an authenticity and a sense of purpose that seem perennially just out of their grasp. With the stylistic mastery of Georges Perec and nihilism of Michel Houellebecq, Perfection, translated by Sophie Hughes, is a sociological novel about the emptiness of contemporary existence, beautifully written, brilliantly scathing.

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 â 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 â 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. đ€ đ
**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).
Shut Up & Write! Kingsdale Shopping Center
Greetings writers! Come down and join your fellow wordsmiths for one hour of uninterrupted writing time in the upper level of the Market District Supermarket in Upper Arlington.
The main entrance of the shopping center opens onto stairs/elevator leading up to the 2nd floor cafe section where we will have a table displaying a sign with the Shut Up & Write logo.
Writing is largely a solitary craft. Practicing with others in a community setting may be the thing you need to fire your own routine.
Weâll meet on Wednesday evenings, starting the clock at 6:30, following a brief period of introductions. This is solid writing time and all inclusive. Any project is acceptable, be it fiction, non -fiction, work or homework assignment. All is welcome and will remain private to you.
The market boasts a Starbucks, a full service bar and various affordable food options. Parking is plentiful, free Wifi is provided as well as outlets for charging your devices, though they are somewhat limited, so plan accordingly.
Show up as early as you like, or stay late. This group tends to socialize some, both before and after the alloted time, but this is not mandatory to you. Feel free to come and go as you please and late arrivals are welcome.
The cafe may be noisy on occasion so headphones/ earbuds are reccommended as you see fit.
Please try to RSVP if possible so that we may grab enough seats for allâthe venue can be busy at times.
Feel free to message me privately wth any questions and/ or concerns you may have.
Happy writing!
