**A-B-SEE** is a serious, responsible idea; intended strictly for the strong of heart and anti-dogmatic, open-eyed, and courageously curious cinematic adventure seekers. *Apply only if the description fits.* These events center on uncompromising, taboo-free, film art exploration. *Leave your comfort zone outside.* For **[FilmStory](https://www.meetup.com/filmstory/)** regular members only. * Orientation call prior to first date of participation. * Limited to 10 participants per event.

Welcome to our cozy **The Psychology and Personal Growth Circle** which is part of the Social Book Club! We will meet to discuss the book “**Antifragile**" (426 pages) written by Nassim Nicholas Taleb. The idea is to connect with like minded readers that love to grow and get to know themselves better through reading and especially applying knowledge from books. We meet up once a month and talk about our progress applying knowledge from a certain book and our experience. The event will take place at the volunteer organisation **MUT**. It is an organisation to supports humans, animals and the environment especially in Vienna. MUT or the Social Book Club look forward to some donation to cover the cost of this event. If you would like to help, please bring some cash with you. Book Description: In The Black Swan Taleb outlined a problem; in *Antifragile* he offers a definitive solution: how to gain from disorder and chaos while being protected from fragilities and adverse events. For what he calls the "antifragile" is one step beyond robust, as it benefits from adversity, uncertainty and stressors, just as human bones get stronger when subjected to stress and tension. See you then! All the best Sebastian

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.”

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

Eine kleine „Sonderausgabe“ der Kaffeerunde für alle, die auch gern lesen. Dieses Mal probieren wir etwas Neues: wir lesen gemeinsam ein Buch und treffen uns, um darüber zu sprechen. In kleiner Runde tauschen wir uns über unsere Eindrücke aus: über Figuren, Themen, und unterschiedliche Perspektiven. Für diese erste Leserunde schlage ich das Buch **„Ostblockherz“ von Didi Drobna** vor (ca. 180 Seiten). Der Roman berührt Themen wie Familie, Migration, Herkunft und die manchmal schwierige Beziehung zwischen Eltern und Kindern. Wenn Interesse besteht, können wir die Leserunde gerne gelegentlich wiederholen. Für zukünftige Bücher können wir dann auch gemeinsam Vorschläge sammeln. Für alle, die grundsätzlich Interesse haben, habe ich außerdem eine kleine **[WhatsApp-Gruppe](https://chat.whatsapp.com/FKmgnp4UkAZGpdBWxrJywG?mode=hqctcla) speziell für die Leserunde** erstellt. Dort können wir Ideen für kommende Bücher sammeln und sehen, wann eine nächste Runde stattfinden könnte. 👉Da die Runde bewusst klein ist, ist **Zuverlässigkeit besonders wichtig**. Bitte melde dich nur an, wenn du wirklich teilnehmen kannst, und gib rechtzeitig Bescheid, falls doch etwas dazwischenkommt. Ich freue mich auf eure Eindrücke und eine spannende Diskussion!

**Family of Abundance** Sonntag, 26.04.2026 Dieses Wochenende ist rand voll mit Ecstatic Dance Events. Zum Landen machen wir also **statt unserem regulären Dance** einen tiefer in die Verbindung gehenden **Familienabend**. Weniger Bühne, mehr Wohnzimmer. Weniger Sensation, mehr geerdetes Aufladen. Ein Wohlfühlabend, mit besonders nährenden Momentan. Wir bringen die vielen wundervollen Geschenke der letzten Abundance Circles zusammen und schaffen einen offen Rahmen in dem wir als echte Familie die Abundance in unserem Alltag, in unserem gemeinsamen Hier und Jetzt wirklich Leben können. Wir beginnen im offenen Miteinander, sitzen beieinander, essen mitgebrachte Lieblingsspeisen, atmen durch, lassen die Woche ausklingen. Danach gehen wir miteinander in einen Abundance Circle – als Familie, die sich tiefer wahrnimmt, in einem immer klareren Fülle Feld. Mit einer kleinen Zeremonie, mit Kakao, mit viel Raum für das, was gerade da sein will. Nichts muss, vieles kann entstehen. Wir schenken uns und dem Thema Fülle Aufmerksamkeit und hören gut auf einander. Was danach passiert, entscheiden wir zusammen. Singen. Tanzen, ganz sanft, ganz akustisch. Den Kreis weitertragen – wir lauschen und folgen dem Impuls. Das ist ja eigentlich der Punkt: dass wir wieder lernen, aufeinander zu hören statt ein Programm abzuspulen. Klar angeleitet, damit die Energie aufrecht gehalten bleibt. Zum Abschluss lauschen wir einer Sound Journey wo jeder für sich sein kann oder in der Mitte des Raumes im Kuddle Circle. Nah. Warm. Getragen. Dann lassen wir gemeinsam ausklingen. Jeder bleibt solange er will – mit weiterem Essen, Musik und was sich aus der Entspanntheit heraus öffnet. **Ablauf** 🍲 16:00 Gemütliches Ankommen mit Potluck 💎 17:30 Abundance Circle mit Zeremonie 🪔 18:00 Wohlfühlraum & Kakao – gemeinsam im Abundance-Feld verankern 🎶 19:00 Wahlprogramm – Singen, Tanzen, Circle weiterführen (sanft & akustisch) 🌺 21:00 Sound Journey mit Kuddle Circle 🪷 22:00 Offenes Ende – Essen, Musik, Familie 🌿Als Beitrag, nimm bitte dein Lieblingsgericht und einen Förderbeitrag für unseren Raum mit. 📍 Vitality Base Vienna, Leberstraße 118A, 1110 Wien Find.VitaltiyBase.at 🔗 events.vitalitybase.at

Weekly screenings from a large archive of many of the most significant, yet seldom seen and rarely accessible cinematic masterpieces in the history of film - from its earliest beginnings to the present day. Screenings are in original language, if English, or original language with English subtitles. Films are selected democratically on the inspiration of a brief pre-screening discussion. The selected title is typically a "neglected gem" that most of us discover together for the first time. Individual taste is not a criterion and all participants are expected to put the interests of the group as a whole above personal preference or prejudice. In this sense, the emphasis is on openness, exploration, and surprise. Each screening is followed by an in-depth group discussion, led and moderated by the curator. WARNNG: FilmStory is not just about watching movies! Rather, it's a socially responsible, intellectual engagement, involving an organic approach to group study of film language, philosophy, art, history, politics, and technology. In this sense, the film is always merely the current highlight in an explorative, ongoing group discussion. **FilmStory** is a members-only series that involves a closely knit community of cinephiles. Events take place every Sunday in a comfortable, private setting with limited capacity. Participation is reserved primarily for regular members, but we're always ready to make new friends! Non-regular members may request to meet the community and, upon acceptance as a "new joiner," are welcome to participate in one event, according to space availability. New joiners are asked to make a €6 member dues contribution in advance of the requested date. New members receive a message of confirmation and the address of the Living Room in 1080 Vienna upon receipt of their dues contribution. **FilmStory** is presented and hosted by **[KulturSalon Wien](https://www.meetup.com/kultursalon-wien/)**.

Join us for a fun Dinner & a Movie event as we get together to see MICHAEL + Dinner at CAP City! The film is directed by Antoine Fuqua and stars Jaafar Jackson (Michael Jackson’s nephew) as the King of Pop! Early buzz is strong for what should be an excellent musical-biopic! Here are details, a trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: This biographical musical drama follows the life of Michael Jackson, from his time with the Jackson 5 to his early solo career! Highlighting both his life off-stage and some of the most iconic performances from his early solo career, the film gives audiences a front-row seat to Michael Jackson as never before. Jaafar Jackson (Michael Jackson’s nephew) stars in the title role alongside Nia Long, Laura Harrier, Juliano Krue Valdi, Miles Teller and Colman Domingo. TRAILER: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbtgEE6rkxw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbtgEE6rkxw) MOVIE PLAN: Please purchase your ticket for the 3:35pm showing and meet inside the theater lobby between 3:10 and 3:20pm.

DINNER PLAN: Dinner immediately following the movie (around 6pm) at nearby CAP City Fine Diner! Seating is limited for the dinner portion of this event, so separate RSVP required. If you plan to join for Dinner AND the movie, please be sure to RSVP in both places. CAP CITY FINE DINER: This upscale diner from Cameron Mitchell is known its “retro-cool” atmosphere, modern twists on classic comfort food and their “showstopper” desserts! The menu reimagines nostalgic dishes like meatloaf, beef stroganoff, and pot roast with gourmet twists. The menu also offers vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options with lots of apps, cocktails, salads, sandwiches, burgers (including a black bean veggie burger), the most welcome return of their Veggie Plate (with Hummus) and more.
