Dear Tea Lovers Join us for a guided tasting of unique Taiwanese teas. We’ll explore how terroir, altitude, and processing shape flavor — from the natural honeyed sweetness of Oriental Beauty to the calming depth of GABA tea and the refined elegance of high-mountain black tea. Along the way, you’ll learn the stories behind these teas and how to taste them mindfully. This tasting is not only for tea enthusiasts, but also for tea lovers who are simply curious, enjoy good flavors, or want to deepen their appreciation of tea in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. No prior knowledge needed — just bring your senses and curiosity. We like to be nerdy and going deep into the matter, but don’t be scared if you are a newbie! There is always time for socialization, random chats, discussions and even the chance buy tea if you will! We’re looking forward to meet you again or for the first time! Sincerely Vienna tea lovers team *20€ - symbolic fee to cover tea and location expenses

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: 4th of March 🌿Time: 18:30—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.

Seeing the Subject & Controlling the Image **Extended Photography Workshop** Date: Saturday, 07 March (07.03.2026) Start: 14:00 Duration: approx. 4 hours Location\*\*:\*\* Vienna (exact meeting point shared after booking) This workshop is created for **early-stage photographers and people who are just starting out**. I have designed it as a **kickstart to your photography journey**, helping you build solid foundations early on so you don’t hit a creative plateau after learning only classic rules of photography. The workshop is beginner-friendly and assumes **no deep technical knowledge**. At the same time starting with basics, we will be building foundation that will help you become even better than some of the professionals. We’ll start with the fundamentals of exposure and camera control, then move into composition and subject-focused photography. The goal is not just to know *how* to set your camera, but to understand **why you make certain choices** and how they support the image. Many beginners shoot from where they stand, reacting to scenes instead of observing them. This workshop helps you slow down, move with intention, and decide what the photograph is actually about before pressing the shutter. *** ##### What this workshop focuses on * Camera basics & exposure How your camera sensor works, what exposure really is, and how aperture, shutter speed, and ISO affect the image. We’ll also talk about why underexposing slightly is often a deliberate choice. * Composition fundamentals Classic compositional rules, how to apply them simply, and how to avoid forcing them into every image. * Finding the subject Learning to recognise what the photo is about — even in complex or messy scenes. * Subject-focused photography How to move, change perspective, how to know what actually you photograph and how to do it. * Subject separation Using depth, light, contrast, and framing to make the subject stand out. * Seeing before shooting Developing the habit of observing becoming more aware and more deliberate with your photography choice. *** ### This workshop is for you if… * you’re new to photography or still unsure about camera settings * you want a strong foundation for visual arts. * you feel your photos lack focus or intention * you want to avoid common beginner mistakes early on ### This workshop is not for you if… * you’re already confident with exposure and subject-driven images * you’re mainly looking for advanced lighting or post-processing techniques * you want quick tricks instead of understanding photography. Learning photography is like learning a language, I do not teach you how to order/photograph a coffee cup but give you understanding how to shoot/say anything, yet learning is a longer process and you will need more practice later to master it. With this course I will give you a strong base and it prepares you for the **Light** and **Storytelling** workshops later on. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **To book the workshop and learn more about it you can visit:** [https://www.phfedorvasilev.com/photography-workshops-in-vienna/](https://www.phfedorvasilev.com/photography-workshops-in-vienna/) **And get in touch to book:** [https://www.phfedorvasilev.com/contact/](https://www.phfedorvasilev.com/contact/)

I'm hosting a street photography workshop at one of my favourite locations to capture in Vienna, its famous funfair Prater 🎡 Home to the Wiener Riesenrad (the Ferris wheel featured in film noir classic ‘The Third Man’), this location offers plenty to photograph in terms of its entertaining rides, people and history. The workshop features an introductory presentation on street photography of approx. 15mins, along with tips along the way from a photographer featured by The Guardian, BBC and Time Out 📸 It's also a great opportunity to meet with other photographers, and a chance to get some tips on street photography along the way, for those who are interested in the medium. All are welcome - whether you're a tourist or a local. All events take place in English. To bring with you on the day: * Mobile phone (to contact me if you get lost!) * Comfortable clothing & shoes * 50 cent coins for use of the toilets at Prater * Any kind of camera as long as you know how to use it (it’s not a workshop on how to use a camera): digital, analogue, mobile phone Cost: €20 per person (€18 Early Bird if booked before 4 March 11:59PM) + fee by Paypal

Hi everyone! On **Saturday, March 7, 2026**, I’m planning a relaxed early-spring hike along **Stadtwanderweg 6 – Zugberg & Maurer Wald** in the south of Vienna. This route takes us through quiet forest paths, gentle hills, and open clearings with beautiful views towards the Vienna Basin and the Wienerwald.

We will walk at a relaxed group pace. If you prefer to walk much faster, this might not be the right hike for you. Staying roughly together helps with navigation, safety, and group feeling.
