❄️ Welcome to Seek Discomfort – Ice Bathing Club Vienna! 🧊 Ready to do something a little crazy… in the best way? We’re a welcoming community of people who love stepping outside our comfort zones, trying new things, and facing the cold together. No matter who you are, where you’re from, or how old you are — you’re welcome here. New to Vienna? An expat? Just curious? Perfect. Most of our meetups are in English, and it’s a great way to connect with like-minded people. At our sessions, we dip (or swim!) in icy water, support each other, practice optional simple breathing techniques, and discover just how strong we really are — mentally and physically. **Arrival**: We usually arrive between 11:00-11:15 and then go into the water together. Depending on the weather and the mood, we might do a breathwork before dipping. ❗️Safety first, always. No pressure, no ego. You only do what feels right for you. Expect encouragement, positive energy, and a shared adventure you won’t forget. 🎒 What to bring: Swimsuit, towel, warm clothes, and something hot to drink. Come challenge yourself, feel alive, and maybe even fall in love with the cold. Hope to see you in the water soon 🧊🔥

**Ecstatic Dance – Blessings of Abundance** 💧✨ Am Sonntag, 12. April 2026 um 17:00 öffnen wir wieder den Raum für **einen Abend im Zeichen von Fülle**, Verbindung und bewusster Ausrichtung. Zu Beginn dieses Abends gehen wir wieder ein Level tiefer mit dem dritten **Abundance Circle** wo wir einen noch lebensnaheren Ausdruck von Fülle zusammen kreieren. Fülle die uns wie ein tropischer Wasserfall durchströmt. Gemeinsam richten wir unseren Fokus auf das, was in uns besondere Aufmerksamkeit bekommen möchte. In kleinen Gruppen widmen wir uns den Wünschen jedes Einzelnen – geben ihnen Raum, Präsenz und Energie. Spielerisch und zugleich würdevoll. Ein Raum, in dem aus Klarheit Bewegung in und um uns entsteht. Ein Raum, in dem Fülle nicht gedacht, sondern gelebt wird. **Mitwirkende** 🌿 Sebastian Hornstein aka. Ion Mikado – Abundance Circle, DJ Set & Soundjourney Sebastian öffnet und hält den Raum für bewusste Ausrichtung, Verbindung und das Sichtbarwerden dessen, wonach sich unser Innerstes sehnt.

Looking for a space to slow down, **meditate, and have thoughtful conversations with new people**? Join me for an evening of shared silence and genuine connection. **No meditation experience needed — just curiosity!** **What to expect** This isn’t a meditation class. It is a space where mindfulness and community meet. Each Circle has three simple parts: **Meditation — Conversation — Connection** • **Meditation:** a short (around 20 min) meditation, where I give minimal guidance and we sit in silence together • **Conversations**: afterwards we create a safe space for conversations that go beyond small talk. We explore how mindfulness can impact different areas of our lives, with a new topic in each circle. You may share or just observe and gain new insights, both are welcome! • **Community:** in the end there will be plenty of time to connect with others in a non-structured format around tea and snacks. Something I've been missing when doing meditation classes elsewhere. To connect with like-minded people! **Background:** Hi, I’m Katja. I’ve been meditating for over a decade. Why the practice brought tremendous benefits into my life and made me a genuinely happier person, I always felt something was missing: **a non-religious community around it.** A space for people who meditate, or are curious about it, but also crave deep, authentic connections with others. Where we can meditate together and talk about the benefits and challenges that come with the practice. To **turn** **it from a solitary practice into a shared experience.** Come join me, if that resonates with you! \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Costs:** It's a free event but a contribution to the room and tea/snacks would be very much appreciated to keep it going! **Please reserve your spot for free via Luma!** https://luma.com/rw3lrkcx **(and please cancel if you can't make it after all)** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- *For more info, please see www.kinspace.at* **FAQs** * Can I come alone? Absolutely. The purpose of the circle is to make it easy to meet others in a natural and relaxed way. * In what language will the circle be held? The main session will be held in English to keep it inclusive for everyone. During breakout conversations, you’re welcome to speak German or any other language if others in the group share it. * Is this similar to authentic relating? The circle has a simple and accessible structure focused on meditation and meaningful conversation. While it’s not an authentic relating event per se, some people may notice similarities in the way it creates space for presence, openness, and genuine connection. * Do I need meditation experience? Not at all. Beginners are very welcome. I’ll provide simple guidance to help you settle in. * Do I have to speak during the circle? No. Sharing is always optional. You’re welcome to simply listen and observe. We do ask that what is shared in the circle stays in the circle, creating a space of trust. * What should I bring? Just come as you are. Comfortable everyday clothes are perfect. To respect the shared silence, I'd ask that phones are turned off and put away during the circle. * What if I’m running late? To preserve the atmosphere of the circle, we'll start on time. Please try to arrive 5–10 minutes early.

Jörg **\*The "Einfach-raus" Group Ticket** We will use a group ticket, and it requires some coordination: **How it works:** It is one ticket for a group of 2–5 people.

You cannot split off and take a different train home if you are on a group ticket. **The cost:** The more people in a group, the cheaper it gets. Expect to pay between €10 and €19 per person. To be fair, we can either pay by specific group size or pool all the money and split it equally. **Cash is mandatory:** Please bring physical cash and coins. We need to collect the money before buying the tickets to make sure everyone gets their change back quickly. **Information regarding this ticket:** [https://www.oebb.at/en/tickets-kundenkarten/freizeit-urlaub/einfach-raus-ticket](https://www.oebb.at/en/tickets-kundenkarten/freizeit-urlaub/einfach-raus-ticket) If you prefer not to be tied to a group, or if you aren’t sure when you want to head back to Vienna, do not join the group ticket. Instead, buy the VOR Freizeitticket; it costs €19.90 for the day in Lower Austria. This will also be your option if you arrive too late for the group ticket or one group doesn't have enough participants for a group ticket. **Information regarding this ticket:** [https://www.vor.at/en/tickets/ticket-overview/leisure-ticket](https://www.vor.at/en/tickets/ticket-overview/leisure-ticket)

**In a time of division and isolation, come be part of the community that's rebuilding the town square, one table at a time.** In BreadBreakers, we use the common space of the dining table to have conversations where neighbors can **hear, be heard, and know one another.** If you're hungry for good conversation and deeper community, join us for a Community Dinner in Reston and help blaze the trail to a healthier, more connected society and democracy. Here’s how it works: For just two hours, multiple tables of people set aside the need to "win" and instead focus on sharing, listening, and connecting. Guided by experienced table hosts, we'll tell our stories, try to understand each other, and practice being in community with those with different views or backgrounds. **At this dinner, participants will get to choose between three different topics, including some current events.** Topics range from the political, to the "slice of life", to the spiritual, to the philosophical, to the off-the-wall - but no matter which table you choose to sit at, you can be sure it'll be like no dinner conversation you've had before! You can also **suggest a topic** by emailing us at BreadBreakersInfo@gmail.com. Food will be provided for free.
