Open Dialogue – Discovering Together in Vienna
We will meet in a calm and friendly place 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 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.”
I train @ My Pace - with Jason
-Outdoor Functional Training for All Fitness Levels-
Join us as we combine healthy, balanced movement with fun, gamified ideas to give you our unique FUNctional training! And in case that doesn’t really tell you what to expect, just think short intervals of exercise combined together in a playful and interactive way to help you strengthen your body in a sustainable way while allowing you to meet new people (and often even forget how hard you’re working out).
As a reminder for those nervous about their fitness level: Everything we do, we do with all fitness levels in mind; so the exercises are always adjustable to your level and you’re always strongly encouraged to take it at your own pace - I mean, we’re not called My Pace for nothing!
How to find us: We meet and train behind the calisthenics workout station on the Zirkuswiese of the Prater. Here a link to the location on Google maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/QdRPEaYTiavZbmVW7
Cost: In the interest of inclusivity, we've decided to make our sessions donations based here, so you're invited to pay what you can afford. If that actually makes you more uncomfortable and doesn't make it easier to come, know that we've received donations from €2 to €20 and they all made us very happy, because our primary goal is to get people moving and to show them it can be fun all in all. The money is secondary.
One other thing that’s useful to know:
- In the case of bad weather, we do have a back-up location that will protect us from the rain. Should we need to move, we will change the location of this event here. Please feel free to check back here before any event where you suspect bad weather or, even better, simply get in touch with us! We’re available via WhatsApp message or email.

Damh the Bard Live in Concert in Vienna!
**Damh the Bard ([https://www.paganmusic.co.uk/](https://www.paganmusic.co.uk/))** is a modern-day Bard whose spirituality and love of folk tradition is expressed through his music, storytelling and poetry. His performances are both entertaining and educational, speaking directly to the heart, and never without a good splash of humour.
**[GET TICKETS HERE](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/damh-the-bard-live-in-concert-in-vienna-tickets-1980778733513?aff=oddtdtcreator)**[ ](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/damh-the-bard-live-in-concert-in-vienna-tickets-1980778733513?aff=oddtdtcreator)
With twelve outstanding albums, and singing and speaking engagements all over the world, Damh has become one of the most popular contemporary Pagan musicians – a musical storyteller who works within the world of myth: where the Elves dance on Midsummer’s Eve, where the trees talk, and the Hollow Hills take you into the Otherworld, where the Goddess rides her horse, guiding you to magic, and the Horned God and Greenman of old call to you from the shadows of the Greenwood.
We're happy to welcome him back to Vienna for a one-night-only concert at a classic Irish Pub.

SELBST.BEWUSST.AUFTRETEN - 1. Teil
**Achtung:**
**Dieser Kurs besteht aus zwei Teilen: der 2. Teil folgt in zwei Wochen am 13. Juni!**
Bitte stellen Sie sicher, dass Sie an beiden Kursteilen teilnehmen können!
Manchmal lassen wir uns einschüchtern von anderen, die sich mit größter Selbstverständlichkeit mit ihren Ansichten und Interessen in den Vordergrund stellen.
* **Manchmal sind wir sprachlos, wenn andere uns beleidigen, uns klein reden oder Dinge von uns verlangen, die wir nicht wollen, aber dennoch nicht ablehnen können.**
In einer kleinen freundlichen Gruppe üben wir uns darin zu wachsen, fest zu stehen, Grenzen zu ziehen und uns durchzusetzen: körperlich, emotional und verbal.
Damit wir es das nächste Mal da draußen auch schaffen!
**Die Sprache im Workshop ist Deutsch.**
Teilnehmende, deren Erstsprache nicht Deutsch ist, sollten mindestens **Deutschniveau B2** haben. Bei Verständnisfragen kann jedoch auf Englisch oder Französisch übersetzt werden. -
**-->** **Dieser Workshop wurde neu erstellt, deshalb ist die Teilnahme kostenlos.**
**Doch eine freiwillige Spende ist sehr willkommen!**
**Hinweis:**
**Dieser Kurs wird voraussichtlich in absehbarer Zeit auch auf Englisch und auf Französisch angeboten werden. Bei Interesse bitte dieser Gruppe folgen!**
**+++++++**
**STANDING TALL WITH CONFIDENCE - 1st part**
**Attention please:**
**This course consists of 2 parts!**
**The 2nd part will take place the 13th of June.**
Please make sure that you can participate at both parts!
Sometimes we let ourselves be intimidated by others who naturally push themselves to the forefront with their views and interests.
* **Sometimes we are left speechless when others insult us, belittle us, or demand things that we don’t want but feel unable to refuse.**
In a small, friendly group, we practice growing, standing firm, setting boundaries, and asserting ourselves: physically, emotionally, and verbally – so that we can succeed out there next time!
**The workshop language is German**. Participants whose first language is not German should have **at least a B2 level**. However, for comprehension questions, translations into English or French can be provided.
**--> This workshop has been newly created, therefore the participation will be free of charge.**
**But free donation will be very welcome!**
**Note:**
**This course is also expected to be offered in English in the near future. If you are interested, please follow this group!**
**+++++++**
**S'AFFIRMER AVEC ASSURANCE - 1ère partie**
**Attention: ce cours est divisé en deux parties!**
**La 2ème partie se déroulera au 13 juin.**
S.v.p., assurez-vous de pouvoir participer à toutes les deux parties!
Parfois, nous nous laissons intimider par d'autres qui se mettent en avant avec leurs opinions et leurs intérêts avec la plus grande assurance.
* **Parfois, nous restons sans voix lorsque d'autres nous insultent, nous rabaissent ou exigent de nous des choses que nous ne voulons pas, mais que nous n'arrivons pourtant pas à refuser.**
Au sein d'un petit groupe bienveillant, nous nous exerçons à grandir, à rester fermes, à poser des limites et à nous affirmer : physiquement, émotionnellement et verbalement.
Pour que nous y arrivions aussi, la prochaine fois, dans le monde extérieur !
**La langue du workshop est l'allemand.** Les participants dont la langue maternelle n'est pas l'allemand doivent avoir **au moins un niveau B2.** En cas de questions de compréhension, une traduction en anglais ou en français est toutefois possible.
**--> Cet atelier vient d'être crée et pour cette raison la participation sera gratuite.**
**Mais une donation libre sera la bienvenue!**
**Remarque :**
**Ce cours sera probablement proposé prochainement aussi en français. Si vous êtes intéressé(e), n'hésitez pas à suivre ce groupe !**

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

This is our weekly event!
Hey Badminton Enthusiasts!
This meet-up is for all levels: beginners, intermediates and experts. Everyone is welcome to join, test their skills and have some fun together!
The host will reserve courts in advance, that means please only register if you really plan to come (or cancel at least 24 hours before the event starts). The fee for this event is 12€ (for the 2 hours). If you plan on paying in cash, please bring the exact amount as the host might not have any change available.
We are meeting at about 10:55 am near the reception by the lounge area (next to the courts). Come a bit earlier so you have time to change into workout/sports clothes. The locker rooms are free to use, but for the men lockers you need a padlock - or you can also take your bag of clothes upstairs to the courts if you do not have a padlock. Also, bring clean indoor sports shoes, your racket and a water bottle with you.
There is a drinking fountain available if you need to replenish your bottle.
If you do not have a racket, it is possible to rent rackets from the club, if necessary (3€). Sometimes the host or other members have spare rackets - please ask in the comment section below!
If you are joining our events for the first time, WELCOME! Let the host know that you are new and they will find a place for you. Don't worry, we are an open and friendly group. We are sure you will develop connections with the people in our community in no time!
Without further ado - let's play some badminton and have fun together!

Free In-Person Meeting: Get Over Losses & Betrayals, Build Lasting Relationships
This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships.
Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse.
Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well.
Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship.
Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action?
Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships!
Break free from self imposed limitations
Here we will discuss:
• How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes.
• Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you?
• Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it?
• Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love?
• Fights & arguments - what's really behind them?
• What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others?
• How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change?
• Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them?
• How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about?
• How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career?
Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general.
Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person.
Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life.
We look forward to having you join us!

Fun & easy way to play more tennis (read event description)
