Metaphysics

Hello there! We'd like to welcome you to our FREE Sahaja Yoga meditation meetings hosted by Wolfgang, Hamid, Anil, Shantanu & friends which take place in Vienna – 7pm Thursdays. With Sahaja Yoga Meditation we normally sit on chairs to achieve yoga, effortlessly & spontaneously. So there is no need for mats and no special clothing required. We are all volunteers of a Charity association and have many years of experience in offering free Sahaja Yoga Meditation classes. All across the globe, many are seeking new sources of energy. Meanwhile, the most transformative energy of all is hiding in plain sight, within us. It's natural, sustainable, and infinitely renewable. It's called inner kundalini energy. And everyone already has it — everyone!. It is often likened to an inner feminine or motherly energy which automatically knows about us and what is needed to help us restore balance and harmony within our subtle being. It works spontaneously, effortlessly, organically and cannot be paid for. The classes are designed to help those attending get into a genuine meditative state, which can be felt tangibly. It is quite effortless and spontaneous. The free classes feature introductory talks, video's, practical workshops and general question and answer opportunities, making them perfect for seekers trying to establish a state of yoga, and they are available across Vienna most evenings and throughout Austria. The idea is that you don't do yoga - you Achieve Yoga! Sahaja Yoga Meditation is a simple, time-honored technique. It helps those who enjoy it, reduce stress and increase wellness and health holistically. It brings better focus and helps people become more centered and better balanced. Anyone can do it. Founded by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, Sahaja Yoga Meditation is a world wide movement for peace and self awakening. All the meetings and classes are free of any charge. Each week we go through simple meditation techniques, often with guided meditations to help reduce stress and achieve the peace of true meditation. We share tips on how to help stay in balance during the day and how to meditate at home. The meditation is based on connecting with the inner chakras (energy centres) and balancing the subtle body. The tradition and aims of meditation are explained which in essence is to be in the present with no mental activity or thoughts about the past or the future. Occasionally there are 1 day retreats to help those interested, deepen their individual experience and hear advice and tips from those who have been practicing for some time. It’s ultimately all about getting into ‘thoughtless awareness’, a natural state of being. 10 Reasons to try-out Sahaja Yoga Meditation in Vienna in 2015 It’s easy. You don’t have to spend years living in the mountains to achieve enlightenment. You don’t have to give up anything or spend weeks in silence. You don’t have to learn mantras or wear special clothes or even try to clear my mind. The meditation simply happens spontaneously. The classes are easy and fun, and as long as you keep up your daily ten minutes of meditation you find you are able to achieve a deep and peaceful meditation on a regular basis. It’s free. You don’t pay for your meditation. There are no catches, and there are no hidden expenses. If you missed attending classes one week, it doesn’t matter. You just picked up the classes again when you could manage it. It is simply the generosity of spirit of other Sahaja Yoga meditation practitioners that allows Sahaja Yoga to be taught to whomever desires it, at no cost. You can see results. You feel relaxed and you feel a deep sense of calm. Now you can also feel your chakras (energy centres) and through the meditation techniques learnt along the way you can understand the vibrations of your own energy centres. If you feel unwell you meditate and use the techniques you’ve learnt to heal your chakras, and you can then feel the centres clearing, and as a consequence your health improves. It’s all-inclusive. All the major religions and their core teachings are acknowledged and respected in Sahaja Yoga. No one’s spiritual journey is right or wrong. And through meditation the wisdom of all the great gurus and saints is easily revealed and understood. In fact, you’ll find that since you’ve been meditating you’ll come to understand and appreciate the teachings of great teachers such as Lao Tse, Buddha and Mohammed. You’re your own boss. You meditate and introspect at your own pace. You don’t have to keep up with others, or feel pressured into doing things you’re not comfortable with. You are your own teacher, your own guru, your own master. This technique of meditation empowers you and enables you to help yourself. You don’t have to rely on anybody else. Of course, there are many people who practice Sahaja Yoga Meditation who can teach you a great deal about the yoga & meditation and its various techniques. However, all that you need is ultimately within you. It’s everywhere. Sahaja Yoga is practiced in almost every country in the world. So, no matter where you travel you can always locate a local Sahaja Yoga Meditation programme that you can attend. Whenever you get the chance, and no matter where you are, You try to link up with other Sahaja Yoga practitioners and enjoy a collective meditation. (Meditating with others is a much deeper and more powerful experience than meditating alone.) It’s portable. You don’t need to take anything with you to meditate: no mats, no potions, no special clothing or books. You can meditate anywhere – in a quiet room or on a noisy bus; at the beach or watching a movie. Thoughtless awareness (the state of meditation) is easy to achieve if you keep meditating daily, and it can be achieved in almost any situation. It makes sense. Everything you’ll learn will make sense. There is a lot of common sense in Sahaja Yogameditation, and even though not everything was known to you (for example, the chakras and their respective qualities), once you have a chance to learn more about the meditation, it feels very natural and comfortable. Everybody does it. When you begin a hobby or join a new group, you often find that there are particular types of people who are in the group with you. For example, some groups attract younger people, others older folk; some groups have a lot of people who are wealthy, or people who live in a certain part of town. In Sahaja Yoga you will find people from every walk of life, from every demographic – male and female, young and old, rich and poor, every shape, size and colour, with varying interests, languages and beliefs. You don’t have to be a certain type of person to do Sahaja Yoga meditation. It is one of those rarities: something for everybody. You feel good. Without fail, every time you sit down to meditate you feel better. Whether you manage to have a deep meditation or not makes no difference, and as a consequence your family and friends are reaping the benefits. So there you have it......ten reasons...... Pop along to a Free Sahaja Yoga Meditation weekly Meeting

**What is Innate Dance?** Innate Dance is a joyful approach to movement, which invites deeper embodiment and self-connection through butoh inspired movement, Noguchi Taiso exercises, the Seki Method, somatic attention and imagination. We shake it out, breaking up stuck energy held in the body, and explore new movement possibilities from a place of alignment and sensitivity. Thanks to our open awareness we can be surprised by lesser-known parts of ourselves and come to appreciate our innate wisdom in movement. Through exercises, explorations and improvisations we build trust in the body that knows how it would like to move and express itself, and when we follow our innate dance, it just feels good! There is also time and space to dance freely, to enjoy the music in your body and to let go! Ultimately, it's about feeling more 'in' our body and grounding joy. **When? Where? How much?** **Mondays 19:30-21:00** in Studio 2, Tanz\*Hotel, Zirkusgasse 35, 1020 Wien Try out € 16\,\- \| One class drop\-in € 21\,\- \| Student € 10\,\- \| 5 x class pass €95\,\- \| 1 x class pass for rest of semester € 224\,\- \(or €16/class\) **Who teaches the course?** Jess is a dancer and psychotherapist (humanistic and integrative), who loves shaping classes that offer the space to explore the many facets of being human. Sometimes this learning involves physically embodying non-humans like trees, fish and wind, so we can get out of our limited-human-thinking-mind and into the bigger wisdom available through imagination and our body. At other times it's about dancing textures, sensations or taking on the energy of parts of ourselves so we can know them better. Jess has danced all her life and has been exploring butoh dance for the past eleven years alongside her psychotherapeutic practice. She is co-author of *The Seki Method - Basics* (now available to buy online via website), is a Seki Method Facilitator, and was a 2024 student at the Im_Flieger Schule researching dance and healing.

Follow us on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/nocrastinationclub/) You just haven’t been able to follow through. You start things, lose momentum and find yourself starting over again. You’re not alone. Most people get support at the beginning. And applause at the end. But the part that actually matters? The middle. The quiet, repetitive, sometimes frustrating part where nothing feels exciting, and everything depends on showing up. **That’s where we are.** At NoCrastination, we don’t meet for hype. We meet to **show up and finish something, together.** Not perfectly. Not magically. Just consistently. **What this really is** This is a space for people who are: * building something * figuring things out * or simply trying to stay on track **without doing it alone** You don’t need to be an entrepreneur. You just need something you want to move forward. **What happens here** You bring something you’ve been putting off. We sit down together. We focus. And you leave with something done. That’s it. And that’s everything. **Why people keep coming back** * “I finally follow through on what I plan” * “I leave with real progress every time” **Time and Location** 🕐 **Time:** 9:30 AM – 12:30 NOON 💻 **Bring:** Your laptop, journal, or anything you’ve been avoiding **Hosted by**: NoCrastination.

Real progress. **This is for you if:** * You keep starting but don’t finish * You feel stuck working alone * You want structure — without pressure * You want to express yourself AND move forward **What you’ll get** Not motivation. Not a productivity hack. **You’ll get: ONE THING DONE.** And then you come back, and do it again. **This is how it starts** You don’t need to commit to anything big. Just come once. Pick one thing. Finish it. We’ll be there. As we’re growing and improving the experience, we’re moving to a more structured system.

Morning **1h meditation** and sound healing practice at sunrise! The meditation takes place in nature to collect clean morning energy in the Oberlaa park. Meditation consists of **2 parts**: **1 part: 30-40 min:** **Morning meditation.** We’re starting the day with a sense of fulfillment, positive thoughts, and gentle meditative movement. Even my grandmother does these exercises:) These meditative exercises will help you wake up your body, activate the flow of Qi (energy) in your channels, and improve your health. **2 part:** **Sound healing 15-20 min** (depends on the weather conditions) After the meditation, you relax, lie, or sit down on a mat, and let your body prepare for the day. I play a sound healing for you. Sound healing uses specific tones and vibrations to gently bring your body back into balance. **What to bring:** * A **yoga mat** to lie on during the sound healing * A **hat** (if you need one against the sun) * **Comfortable clothes** for light movement * A **light blanket**, if you want to cover yourself * A **cup**:) You can enjoy a herbal tea after the session. **Location:** Oberlaa Park. The exact location: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/mL32DQtuqM8TPkDn8](https://maps.app.goo.gl/mL32DQtuqM8TPkDn8 "https://maps.app.goo.gl/mL32DQtuqM8TPkDn8") 48°08'44.7"N 16°24'08.7"E Turn to the left after you enter the park. **Schedule:** please arrive 5 minutes before to start on time. **Price: First test session - free. Next - 15 euros** The reason we’re starting so early is that it’s getting hot very quickly. You can enjoy the first sunlight and get a healthy tan during the practice, which is very beneficial for your body. *\*Please note that the meditation will take place if at least 3 people join the practice.*

We will meet in a calm and friendly place ( Parc, Café, Restaurant) to explore together some of Jiddu Krishnamurti’s key questions about awareness, relationship, and freedom. There will be no teaching, no authority — only open dialogue and attentive listening. Everyone is welcome, whether you are familiar with Jiddu Krishnamurti or simply curious about life and self-understanding. We’ll start with an open conversation around a theme such as “Listening without judgment” or “Can thought bring clarity?” Please bring openness, curiosity, and a readiness to listen — no books or notes needed. The spirit is not to discuss “what should be,” but to observe together “what is.”

## Editorial Boudoir Lighting Session **Limited to 3 Photographers** An intimate, structured boudoir session focused on controlled lighting, refined posing, and intentional composition. This is not an open group shoot. The atmosphere will be calm, directed, and professional. We will work with: • 1 professional model • 2 curated lighting setups • Guided posing and direction • Structured shooting rotations • Time for questions and breakdowns The focus is on building strong portfolio material while understanding how to shape light and mood in an editorial boudoir environment. Spots are strictly limited to three participants to ensure quality, space, and creative control. Investment: €225 Duration: approx. 2–2.5 hours If you value structure over chaos and intention over randomness, this session is for you.

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. To join the community or ask any questions, you can use the Telegram chat: [https://t.me/+_xMTFu0BKaoyYzVi](https://t.me/+_xMTFu0BKaoyYzVi) **What To Bring:** * Your Camera * Potentially some light * A few Ideas for photos **To see examples of my works you can follow these links:** 🔗 [Behance](https://www.behance.net/fedorvasilev) 📸 [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/phfedorvasilev/) 🔗 [My Website](https://www.phfedorvasilev.com/)

**Ecstatic Cacao Ritual – Solstice Celebration** 🌞 Zum Season Closing, an diesem besonderen Abend zur Sommersonnenwende feiern wir das Licht, die Gemeinschaft und die Fülle des Lebens. Seit Jahrtausenden versammeln sich Menschen rund um diesen kraftvollen Wendepunkt des Jahres. Der längste Tag und die kürzeste Nacht erinnern uns daran, das Leben zu feiern, Dankbarkeit auszudrücken und uns bewusst auszurichten auf das, was wir in die zweite Jahreshälfte tragen möchten. Mehr als ein Ecstatic Dance. Mehr als eine Cacao Ceremony. Eine Reise durch Verbindung, Musik, Bewegung und Gemeinschaft. Gemeinsam öffnen wir den Abend mit zeremoniellem Kakao, einer bewussten Einstimmung und einer gemeinsamen Intention für die zweite Hälfte des Jahres. Was möchte durch dich wachsen? Was möchtest du feiern? Wofür bist du dankbar? Durch Cacao, Musik, Tanz und Klang erschaffen wir einen Raum, in dem wir das Leben bewusst feiern dürfen. 🌿 **Mathias Kluger / Lost in Soma – Ceremony & Dance Journey** Mathias öffnet den Raum mit einer herzöffnenden Cacao Ceremony und einer bewussten Tanzeinleitung. Als Gründer des Ecstatic Cacao Rituals verbindet er Elemente aus Cacao Ceremony, Authentic Relating, Ecstatic Dance, Breathwork und Ritualarbeit zu einer ganzheitlichen Erfahrung. Seine musikalischen Reisen führen durch organische elektronische Klänge, Weltmusik, Mantras, Medicine Songs und kraftvolle Dancefloor-Momente. Als internationaler Ecstatic Dance DJ und Resident im Shunya, Goa, schafft er Räume, in denen Menschen sich selbst tiefer begegnen, Verbindung erleben und Gemeinschaft als Medizin erfahren können. Das Ecstatic Cacao Ritual ist eine Einladung, den Alltag hinter sich zu lassen und über Musik, Bewegung und Präsenz in einen lebendigen Kontakt mit sich selbst und anderen einzutauchen. **✨ Valerie & Sebastian – Sound Journey** Valerie und Sebastian weben einen Klangteppich aus zwei Stimmen, Gitarre, Handpan, oft auch Harmonium und allem, was der Moment ruft. Nichts ist geprobt im engeren Sinn – manches sind Lieder, die uns seit Jahren begleiten, manches Eigenkompositionen, vieles entsteht erst durch die Magie des Moments. Die beiden lieben weiche und weite Töne, die dich durch den ergänzenden Kontrast ihrer Stimmen sanft umhüllen. Momente, in denen gemeinsam mit den Zuhörern ehrliche Töne aus dem endlosen Raum durch sie fließen. **🕕 Sonntag\, 21\.06\.2026 \| 18:00** 📍 Vitality Base Vienna 📍 Leberstraße 118A, 1110 Wien 🔗 find.vitalitybase.at **✨ Programmablauf** 18:00 Gemeinsames Ankommen 18:30 Willkommenskreis 18:45 Cacao Ceremony & Dance Introduction mit Mathias Kluger 19:30 Ecstatic Cacao Ritual Dance Journey mit Lost in Soma 21:30 Sound Journey mit Valerie & Sebastian 22:00 Offener Raum zum Entspannen, Musizieren und Austauschen 🌀 Bitte beachte: Dieses Event ist alkoholfrei und findet in einem geschützten zeremoniellen Rahmen statt. 🌟 Mitgliederevent Förderbeitrag: 34–54 Euro Mitgliedschaft vor Ort erhältlich 🌞 Lasst uns die Sommersonnenwende gemeinsam feiern. 🌿 Lasst uns tanzen. 💛 Lasst uns das Leben feiern. 🌱 create joy together

L'Ecume des jours (Foam of the Daze) is a jazz fueled Science Fiction story that is both romantic and nihilistic! Vian's novel is an assortment of bittersweet romance, absurdity and the frailty of life. Foam of the Daze is a nimble-fingered masterpiece that is both witty and incredibly moving. It is a story of a wealthy young man Colin and the love of his life Chloe, who develops a water lily in her lung. The supporting cast includes Chick, an obsessive collector of noted philosopher Jean-Sol Partre's books and stained pants, and Nicolas who is a combination of P.G. Wodehouse's fictional butler Jeeves and the Green Hornet's Kato. The soul of the book is about the nature of life disappearing and loving things intensely as if one was making love on a live grenade! Please note that there are several translations of this book, first of them was Froth on the daydream, later came Mood indigo (by movie title), and there is also Foam of the Daze. source: goodreads

This is a group for meeting new people, eating brunch, and having discussions about science, life, philosophy, politics, and people. Anybody is free to join, and we charge no fees. This discussion group aims to have the absolute minimal level of structure necessary to ensure the conversation remains engaging to the majority of people present. In particular, we \*don't\* have fixed order of speaking or timed statements. So far, the balance we've struck is enforcing hand raising when conversation gets intense in order to minimize interruption, and to give the chair (me!) the power to occasionally call a snap election on the conversation topic.

This is an in-person event hosted by Sahaja Yoga meditation. We offer free meditation sessions and everyone is welcome to join and experience the peace within!
