**OSHO Active Meditation Day**  ## OSHO Active Meditation Day **Sontag\, 15\. Februar \| 10:00–16:00** **Vienna Buddha Field** 15 € pro Meditation \| 35 € für den ganzen Tag \(Zahlung vor Ort\)  Zum Jahresende kommen wir noch einmal zusammen, um zu atmen, uns zu bewegen, zu summen und in die Stille zurückzufinden. Ein ganzer Tag mit **OSHO Aktiven Meditationen** – entwickelt, um deine Lebensenergie zu wecken, Spannung loszulassen und dich in deine Mitte zu bringen. Dieses Mal erforschen wir drei kraftvolle Meditationen: **OSHO No-Dimensions Meditation** Eine aktive Zentrierungsmeditation, basierend auf alten Sufi-Techniken und von Osho weiterentwickelt. Durch Atmung, fließende Bewegungen und Wirbeln sammelt sich deine Energie im Hara – deinem Energiezentrum unterhalb des Nabels. Bewegung und Stille verschmelzen. **OSHO Chakra Sounds Meditation** Mit der Stimme öffnest und harmonisierst du die sieben Energiezentren. Die Schwingungen führen dich in eine tiefe, friedliche Stille – in Einklang mit dir selbst. **OSHO Nadabrahma Meditation** Eine summende Meditation, die Körper und Geist in Harmonie bringt. Wenn beide im Einklang sind, kannst du sie loslassen – und wirst zum stillen Beobachter. ![]() ### **Tagesplan** 10:00 – Beginn & OSHO No-Dimensions Meditation 11:40 – OSHO Chakra Sounds Meditation 13:00 – Gemeinsames Mittagessen (Potluck-Style) 14:00 – OSHO Nadabrahma Meditation 15:30 – Kurzer Sharing-Kreis & Abschluss ### **Mitbringen** * Wasserflasche * Bequeme Kleidung * Etwas Kleines für das gemeinsame Mittagessen **Geleitet von Yogi Levy** Anleitung auf Englisch  Komm, wie du bist – keine Vorerfahrung nötig.

Die Plätze sind begrenzt – **melde dich jetzt an und sichere dir deinen Platz!** (Zahlung direkt vor Ort) https://viennabuddhafield.com/events/osho-active-meditation-day-2/ #### *„Meditation ist nichts, was du tust – sie geschieht, wenn du aufhörst, etwas zu tun.“*— **Osho**

### **,,Wirklich sehen, hören, fühlen – Wie geschärfte Wahrnehmung Nähe ermöglicht''** **Workshop für Sinne, Selbsterkenntnis & Beziehungstiefe** *** **Was, wenn echte Verbindung nicht durch Reden, sondern durch Wahrnehmen beginnt?** Wie nah wir anderen kommen – in Partnerschaft, Freundschaft oder Familie – hängt oft davon ab, **wie klar und fein wir wahrnehmen können**: uns selbst, den anderen, die Situation. In diesem Workshop schulen wir unsere Sinne – **sehen, hören, riechen, fühlen** – und erkennen, was zwischen Wahrnehmung und Reaktion liegt: unsere gelernten Muster, Schutzmechanismen und tiefen Bedürfnisse. *** **Inhalte & Übungen**: * Wie „Wahr“-nehmung funktioniert – und wie sie getäuscht werden kann * Sehen, Hören, Riechen, Fühlen bewusst trainieren – mit alltagsnahen Übungen * Schulz von Thun: Was höre ich wirklich, wenn jemand spricht? * Virginia Satir: Welche Reaktionen schützen mich – und verhindern Nähe? * Karen Horney & Bindungstheorie: Warum wir uns so schwer tun mit Kontakt * Sinneserfahrungen mit Alltagsgegenständen (z. B. Kaffee, Stoffe, Düfte) * Achtsame Selbstwahrnehmung & ehrlicher Austausch in Kleingruppen *** **Warum das wichtig ist:** Viele Kommunikationsprobleme und Beziehungskonflikte entstehen nicht durch bösen Willen – sondern durch **nicht wahrgenommene Signale**, alte Muster oder unbewusste Schutzreaktionen. Wenn wir die Welt feiner spüren lernen, **werden wir echter, weicher, verbindlicher** – ohne uns zu verlieren. *** **Für wen?** Für Menschen, die sich selbst und andere besser verstehen wollen – nicht theoretisch, sondern **im Spüren, Erleben und im echten Kontakt**. *** 📍**Ort:** jeden Sonntag 🕖 **Zeit:** 11:00-14:30 ☕ **Mit Sinnesimpulsen wie Kaffee & Duftübungen** Kaffee & kleine Snacks inklusive! 💶 **Beitrag:** 25€ 📝 **Anmeldung:** über Meetup oder Emailanmeldung unter: orhanberatgueclue@gmail.com

**Written in the Stars: A Valentine’s 2026 Unique Connection** 2026 is off to an electric start! With the stars realigning in ways we haven’t seen in decades, there’s a massive "cosmic pulse" calling us to rethink how we perceive and express love, how we relate, how we open our hearts. Whether you're celebrating a partnership or honoring your own journey, this Valentine's edition is designed to help you navigate the language of the heart. Why Astrology for the Heart? Astrology is more than just "Who am I compatible with?" It’s a symbolic map 🌌 that reveals our deepest needs for intimacy, security, and joy. By understanding your birth chart, you’re not just looking at a map of the sky—you’re looking at a map of your own capacity to love and be loved. 💫 What Makes This Special: Forget the clichés. This isn't a speed-dating night or a lecture on why you should avoid Aries. Instead, expect a **fun, soul-centered guided experience** that blends astrological insight with creative journaling ✍️ and heart-opening meditation 🧘. You’ll have the chance to: * **Decode your "Love Language"** through your Venus and Moon placements. * **Explore 2026’s rare alignments** and what they mean for your relationships. The flow of the evening: Every session is a journey, and for this special Valentine’s edition, we’re focusing on the **Magic of Affinity**. * 🌙 **The Gathering:** We’ll open with a warm introduction, setting our intentions for the heart-space we’re creating together. * ⭐ **The Exploration:** Guided exercises in small groups to help you "read" the romantic and social potential in your own chart. * 💬 **The Reflection:** We’ll wrap up with an open discussion on the 2026 shifts and a Q&A to demystify any burning astrological questions. Who should attend: Whether you’re a complete beginner 🌱 or a seasoned stargazer, you are welcome here. This is a space for everyone—singles, couples, and "it’s complicateds" alike. PS: A contribution of €10 per person will be collected to cover the organization, energy and cookies. Additional donations are most welcome. > **Pro-Tip:** Please have your birth chart ready! If you don't have one, I recommend generating a free one at **astro.com** before we begin.

**Ecstatic Dance – Circle of Abundance** Gemeinsam erinnern · Verbinden · Manifestieren Am **Sonntag, 15. Februar 2026**, öffnen wir einen besonderen Raum für unsere Community – nicht als etwas, das wir im Außen suchen, sondern als eine Qualität, die entsteht, wenn wir **uns als Gemeinschaft verbinden und gemeinsam ausrichten**.

Mit entschlossenen Worten, deiner eigenen Manifestation und einer Einladung in unsere Community. Du kannst auch direkt zum Dance kommen, wie immer. Ein Raum für Begegnung, Ehrlichkeit und gemeinsames Empowerment. Künstler & Rollen 🌱 **Sebastian – Circles** Mit vertrauter Herzlichkeit und einem feinen aber entschlossenen Sinn für das was uns als Kollektiv wirklich voran bringt. ☀️ **Inner Echoes – Ecstatic Dance DJ Set** mit Tom, begleitet von Jennifers Stimme.

***“I am struck with how rare it is to find a few good friends on the path. It is easy to find people who simply want to sit and be entertained by teachers, or who want to sit and entertain by playing the role of teacher. In other words, the quest for affirmation often outweighs the quest for truth.*** ***Yet you may have one or two good friends, and definitely have one or two waiting to be discovered. Find them; be thankful.”*** ***— Shawn Nevins*** 'What will make me happy in life?' ... 'Am I my thoughts?' ... 'What is Enlightenment?' ... We meet every week to ask questions like these in the pursuit of Self-Knowledge and Truth. We are interested in topics like: Zen, stoicism, spirituality, psychology, mindfulness, Nisargadatta, non-violent communication, Socrates, existential philosophy, Alan Watts, taoism, Eckhart Tolle, meditation, Ramana Maharshi, etc. But we are not affiliated with any dogma, philosophy, or religion. Our goal each meeting is to serve as mirrors for one another using question-based inquiry in a safe environment. In a session, every participant takes turns discussing the week's question or topic, and the group asks reflective questions without any agenda besides trying to understand the person's beliefs. A few other guiding principles of our group: * No one is obligated to share * Be honest with yourself and others * Do not try to convince others to believe or think as you do * Keep the focus on the person being questioned We meet at the [Bethesda Library](https://maps.app.goo.gl/GWMozF8zpY1m1PY26) every Monday. The library is a 5 minute walk from the Bethesda Metro on the Red Line, approx 25 minute Metro ride from Metro Center and Gallery Place stations. The library has a a parking lot with metered parking for $1/hour. \*\*\* WE WILL BE IN MEETING ROOM 3 UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED ----- THE MEETING ROOM IS IN THE BACK OF THE LIBRARY \*\*\* Please contact us with any questions!
