Gespräche über Spiritualität, Seele, Sinn, Stille und Bewusstes Sein (Deutsch)
**Jenseits des Oberflächlichen – mit spiritueller Tiefe, praktischer Inspiration und in entspannter Atmosphäre.**
*"Es gibt absolut nichts Falsches daran, auf der „Ebene der Form“ zu manifestieren – sei es materieller Wohlstand, kreative Errungenschaften oder Dinge dieser Art. Tatsächlich kann das Manifestieren auf diese Weise zu den lohnendsten und erfüllendsten Erfahrungen auf unserer menschlichen Reise gehören.*
*Doch für viele von uns geht wahre Manifestation über die äußere Welt hinaus und dringt tiefer – in unser inneres Sein (und darüber hinaus)."* (N.N.)
### Einladung zu den nächsten **Spirituellen Gesprächen**
Bist du es leid, Gespräche zu führen, die an der Oberfläche bleiben?
Sehnst du dich nach Austausch, der inspiriert, berührt – und wirklich etwas in dir bewegt?
Dann lade ich dich herzlich zu den **Spirituellen Gesprächen** ein:
einer zweistündigen Zusammenkunft für Menschen, die sich nach Tiefe, Orientierung und einem sinnerfüllten Leben sehnen.
Gemeinsam erforschen wir, wie es ist, im **Jetzt** zu leben –
jenseits von Gedankenmustern, innerem Lärm und der rein verstandesmäßigen Sicht auf die Welt.
### Wer ist eingeladen?
Menschen mitten im Leben (typischerweise 45+), die
* äußerlich vieles erreicht haben, sich innerlich aber noch nicht ganz angekommen fühlen
* eine tiefere spirituelle Verbindung und echten Sinn suchen
* persönliche Begleitung und Austausch auf Augenhöhe schätzen
### Themen, in die wir gemeinsam eintauchen
* **Spiritualität erforschen** – die Verbundenheit von Selbst und Leben entdecken
* **Weisheit kultivieren** – innere Ruhe, Kraft und Klarheit wachsen lassen
* **Mit Wandel umgehen** – Lebensübergänge bewusst gestalten
* **Den eigenen Sinn erkennen** – was trägt dich wirklich?
* **Dem Leben vertrauen** – Freude, Liebe und Offenheit zulassen
Bring deine Gedanken, Fragen und das mit, was dich gerade bewegt.
Wir teilen Einsichten, Erfahrungen und Impulse – ohne Dogma, ohne Belehrung.
Diese Gespräche sind **frei von religiösen oder spirituellen Zugehörigkeiten**.
### Über mich
Ich bin **Dieter Langenecker**, spiritueller Begleiter und Moderator für tiefgehende Gespräche.
Seit vielen Jahren unterstütze ich Menschen dabei, innere Klarheit zu finden, ihrem eigenen Weg zu vertrauen und ein Leben zu gestalten, das sich stimmig und erfüllt anfühlt.
👉 *Hier kannst du dir ein Bild von meiner Arbeit machen:* **[Video](https://youtu.be/_BN4Ch42EUk)**
Ein Nachmittag für **Tiefe, Offenheit und echte Verbindung**.
Begegne Gleichgesinnten, lass dich inspirieren und genieße eine warme, ruhige Atmosphäre.
Für Gebäck und Getränke ist gesorgt.
**Beitrag:** € 15,-
(zur Deckung der Kosten für Kaffee/Tee, gesunde Süßigkeiten und Raummiete)
Bitte gib mir kurz Bescheid, falls du doch nicht teilnehmen kannst.
Und sei bitte pünktlich.
Falls das Haupttor geschlossen ist, nutze den Code **2008 + Schlüsselsymbol** oder schreibe mir unter **0681 1069 1321**.
Wenn dich das anspricht, **melde dich jetzt an** und sei Teil einer tiefgehenden Gesprächsrunde.
Ich freue mich auf dich.

Short bike tour – Donauinsel meets Donaukanal
We meet at the Copabeach bike rental on Donauinsel and roll along leisurely for the first few minutes. The route initially leads upstream along the wide, paved path on Donauinsel. We ride comfortably side by side, watching out for joggers and other cyclists and maintaining a steady pace.
After a few kilometers, we reach the Nußdorf area. There we cross to the Steinitzsteg bridge and switch to the beginning of the Donaukanal.
From here, we slow down a little. We cycle through several districts of Vienna along the Donaukanal. Some sections are urban, with bridges, street art, and restaurants on the banks. In between are quieter passages with lots of greenery. We decide spontaneously which side of the river to cycle on, depending on traffic, construction sites, and our mood. We ride behind each other along the canal, keeping a safe distance and communicating obstacles with hand signals. The surface is mostly asphalt. There may be very short sections of gravel or fine gravel, which we take at a moderate speed.
At the end of the Donaukanal near Freudenau, we cross back over to the Donauinsel and take the return route upstream back to the starting point.
**Distance:** approx. 30 km
**Speed:** 18-20 km/h on average. Slightly slower on the Donauknal due to more traffic
**Surface:** mainly asphalt, some gravel on the Donaukanal
**Elevation:** virtually none, wind can play a role (especially on the Donauinsel)
**Estimated time:** 1 3/4 hours
**Route:** https://www.bergfex.at/touren/c296197e1f9a2d38e4820d24cb96ea66/
**Plan**
**1.** Start at Copabeach: bike check (brakes, air pressure, lights), brief safety briefing on hand signals and formation. Please be punctual. We will wait for a maximum of 5-10 minutes.
**2.** Donauinsel upstream: wide, smooth path, we find our rhythm and maintain a steady pace.
**3.** Steinitzsteg/Nußdorf: transition to the Donaukanal, short orientation break if necessary.
**4.** Donauinsel downstream in single file, defensively, extra caution in narrow sections. We choose the side of the river depending on the situation.
**5.** Freudenau: end of the Donaukanal meeting point, short break, refill water, snack.
**6.** Return via the Donauinsel: upstream back to Copabeach. Depending on the wind and energy levels, we can paddle faster here.
**Break and possible stops**
\- We plan at least one break along the way \(e\.g\.\, in the Urania/Schwedenbrücke area\, Spittelau\, or at Praterspitz\)\. We choose the location spontaneously depending on traffic\, weather\, and group dynamics\.
\- Near the Freudenau power station\, there are opportunities to take a short break before we return to the Donauinsel\.
**Safety and riding style**
\- Ride strictly in single file along the Donaukanal\, use your bell sparingly\, and be considerate of other road users\.
\- Use hand signals to indicate changes of direction\, obstacles\, and braking\. Look over your shoulder before changing lanes\.
\- We adjust our speed to the conditions \(crowds\, surface\, visibility\)\.
**Equipment tips**
\- Water bottle and a small snack\. Refills are possible along the canal in some places\.
\- Helmet recommended\, lights and bell helpful in the city\.
\- Don't set the tire pressure too high\, so that short gravel sections remain comfortable\.
\- Dress appropriately for the weather\.
\- If there is heavy traffic along the canal\, we can choose the quieter side of the bank or use short detours\.
The result is a varied, mostly flat city and riverside tour with plenty of water views, which is sporty but relaxed.

PCE - Philosophic Conversation in English
PCE - "Philosophic Conversation in English" is a discussion event in English language which focuses on psychology, philosophy, self-consciousness and self-realization. The conversation is based on inclusive discussion rules. We will meet at at a restaurant where we will have a private room exclusively reserved for our event.
At the beginning we will choose the topic to discuss. Everybody can suggest a topic. Then we will vote what to discuss. The person who suggested the winning topic will then explain his idea of the topic.
Afterwards everybody gets his/her chance to make a statement. But you can also decide to remain silent and only listen, if you prefer that. We have a time limit for statements, so that everybody has enough time to speak. It is not allowed to interrupt somebody who is speaking. After a statement everybody can ask a question and the speaker will answer.
After the first part there will be a 10 minutes break before we start the second part.
Everybody is welcome to our event: We are interested in your thoughts and opinions! It is no problem if you arrive late and you can also leave whenever you want.

Run+B-fast
Hi Running fellows,
Whether you’re a walker, new to running, a semi-pro, a marathonist or a sprint star - if you want to start your weekend in an active way and enjoy the outdoors in lovely surroundings with a fun, international and multilingual group of people, you are welcome to join us!
Every Saturday at 9:30 am, we meet, we run, in the magnificent Schönbrunn park, and then we go for breakfast.
Want to discuss politics or the best recipes for banana pancakes? Not a problem. Not feeling social? Tune out with your earbuds - we can talk over breakfast. We are casual. You can be too.
What to expect: Start by meeting Adrian, Ali, Liz, Paul and Sonia on-time at 9:30am outside the Schönbrunn U-Bahn stop (exit Grünbergstraße). (Coordinates: 48.1858130, 16.3200640) From there, we walk to the side park entrance where the “running” part begins. The important thing is that you run at your own pace. Typically, small groups of people will run at the same pace as you, so you never have to walk/run alone :)
We finish one hour later, at about 10:40am, reconvening just inside the Hietzinger Tor exit. (Coordinates: 48.1858825, 16.3032647). From there, we’re off to breakfast!
Breakfast Details: Anker bakery opposite the U4 Hietzing station and depending on the weather, grab something for a picnic in Schönbrunn park, or hang out in the bakery. If you missed us earlier, you can always go there around 10:45.
We are a fun group of runners who don’t take things too seriously. We meet, chat, RUN, stretch, chat, EAT and we hang out over a beer every now and then. It's that easy. Please join us for breakfast after the run! The more the merrier.
Typically we are 10-30 people, as not everyone who comes signs up on meetup.
Important disclaimer: Please only run as much as you feel you can, considering the temperature, weather conditions, your own fitness etc... run and walk at your own pace as the organizers do not assume any liability for any injuries or health issues. Sonia, Adrian, Ali, Paul and Liz

Humanist Community Celebrating Darwin Day
Dale Gnidovec, Curator of the Orton Hall Museum of Geology at The Ohio State University, will be presenting a program he has wanted to share with us for a long time: Plate Tectonics. His description of his program:
Continents on the move - Nothing in Earth history makes sense without moving continents - it tells us why mountains, volcanoes, minerals, and fossils are where they are. This talk examines the evidence for continental drift, why it was disbelieved, and explains how the more-encompassing theory of plate tectonics was developed and eventually proven. Dale is an energetic, incredibly knowledgeable, and very entertaining speaker and this will be another wonderful program by Dale. Hope to see you there!
Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk.
Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online
