Tango Fundamentals 1
There's something about tango that gets under your skin.
You watched it, or tried it once, and something in you probably felt really good. Because tango is connetion in the present moment.
Tango Fundamentals 1 is a structured 6-week course designed to take your tango journey through the basic steps and figures of Argentine tango. This is not just about copying moves - but rather actually understanding how tango works. The connection, the lead and follow, the conversation between two people through movement.
By the end of these six weeks, you'll understand the basic concepts of tango, the etiquette of milongas, how to invite someone to dance - and you'll actually be able to dance.
**What's included:**
* 6 weekly classes - every Monday, 75 minutes each
* Bonus 4 online evenings - stretching, strength, technique and mindfulness to support your body and focus in your Tango Journey
* 1 Practica at the end - a real social dance to put it all together
**Investment:** €165 full price, €125 for students. There is an option for classes without an online offer. Just write me a message.
Single class: €28 / student €22
**This is for you if:**
* You've tried tango once and want to go deeper
* You've always wanted to learn but never knew where to start
* You want a real foundation, not just a one-off workshop
Spots are limited - this is a small group, so everyone gets proper attention.

PCE Philosophic Conversation in English
PCE - "Philosophic Conversation in English" is a discussion event in English language which focuses on psychology, philosophy, self-consciousness and self-realization. The conversation is based on inclusive discussion rules. We will meet at at a restaurant where we will have a private room exclusively reserved for our event.
At the beginning we will choose the two topics to discuss. Everybody can suggest a topic. Afterwards we will vote what topics to discuss. The person who suggests a winning topic will start the discussion by explaining his/her idea.
Afterwards everybody gets his/her chance to make a statement. But you can also decide to remain silent and only listen, if you prefer that. We have a time limit for statements, so that everybody has enough time to speak. It is not allowed to interrupt somebody who is speaking. After a statement everybody can ask a question and the speaker will answer.
After the first part there will be a 15 minutes break before we start the second part.
Everybody is welcome to our event: We are interested in your thoughts and opinions! It is no problem if you arrive late and you can also leave whenever you want.
Please don't bring pets to this event because the room is usually very crowded. Please make sure to register for the event to secure your seat!

Public Speaking & Leadership Meeting at Blue Danube Leaders Toastmasters Club
**Discover the Power of Public Speaking & Leadership — Join the Blue Danube Leaders!**
Are you looking for a new hobby that's not only fun but also helps you grow?
Join us at **Blue Danube Leaders**, a Toastmasters club where you can improve your **public speaking**, **leadership**, and **communication** skills - all in a friendly, encouraging environment.
Whether you’re just starting out or are already a seasoned speaker, you're welcome as our guest.
**What happens at a Meeting?**
Our meetings follow a structured, interactive format:
* **Welcome and Introduction**
The meetings begin with a warm welcome from the Club President and the host (called *Toastmaster of the Evening)*. Then, we do a short introduction round where everyone - guests too - say a few words on the evening's topic.
* **Word of the Day**
A challenge that builds your language skills and sharpens your attention to word choice. A special word is introduced and everyone is invited to use this word whenever they speak.
* **Table Topics**
This is an exciting segment! Volunteers - guests too! - are invited to speak for 1-2 minutes on a surprise question or topic. It's a great way to practice thinking on your feet.
* ***Short Break of 10 minutes***
* **Prepared Speeches**
* Members deliver speeches prepared ahead of time, usually 5-7 minutes in length. Each speech is a step in the Toastmasters learning pathway.
* **Evaluations**
Every speech will be thoughtfully evaluated by a designated Evaluator. These evaluations focus on strengths, improvement tips, and encouragement. It's a crucial part of the Toastmasters experience.
* **Role Reports**
Throughout the meeting, members take on supportive roles that ensure the flow of the evening and give everyone a chance to grow.
**Be our guest!**
This meetup is open to guests.
Toastmasters have a separate platform for the member registration. There are always 10+ people in the meeting.
Join us at **18:45 CET** for a casual **Meet & Greet**;
The program starts **sharp at 19:00 CET.**
After the meeting, we often head to a nearby spot for food or drinks - a great way to relax and connect!

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](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!

You just haven’t been able to follow through. You start things, lose momentum and find yourself starting over again. You’re not alone.
Most people get support at the beginning. And applause at the end. But the part that actually matters? The middle. The quiet, repetitive, sometimes frustrating part where nothing feels exciting, and everything depends on showing up. **That’s where we are.**
At NoCrastination, we don’t meet for hype. We meet to **show up and finish something, together.** Not perfectly. Not magically. Just consistently.
**What this really is**
This is a space for people who are:
* building something
* figuring things out
* or simply trying to stay on track
**without doing it alone**
You don’t need to be an entrepreneur. You just need something you want to move forward.
**What happens here**
You bring something you’ve been putting off. We sit down together. We focus. And you leave with something done. That’s it. And that’s everything.
**Why people keep coming back**
* “I finally follow through on what I plan”
* “I leave with real progress every time”
**Time and Location**
🕐 **Time:** 9:30 AM – 12:30 NOON
💻 **Bring:** Your laptop, journal, or anything you’ve been avoiding
**Hosted by**: NoCrastination. See you across from the ground floor bar ✨ you will see us sitting at the long table with our laptops
☕ Please do order something from the local host, so as to keep us in their good graces!

**Focus schedule:**

**This is for you if:**
* You keep starting but don’t finish
* You feel stuck working alone
* You want structure — without pressure
* You want to express yourself AND move forward
**What you’ll get**
Not motivation. Not a productivity hack.
**You’ll get: ONE THING DONE.**
And then you come back, and do it again.
**This is how it starts**
You don’t need to commit to anything big. Just come once. Pick one thing.
Finish it. We’ll be there. As we’re growing and improving the experience, we’re moving to a more structured system. Registration is part of participating.

🚀 Special focus this week: AI Builders & Creators
Whether you're:
* building AI products
* experimenting with AI tools
* creating AI content
* automating workflows
* launching a startup
* freelancing
* looking for your next opportunity
you're welcome to join us.
You just haven’t been able to follow through. You start things, lose momentum and find yourself starting over again. You’re not alone.
Most people get support at the beginning. And applause at the end. But the part that actually matters? The middle. The quiet, repetitive, sometimes frustrating part where nothing feels exciting, and everything depends on showing up. **That’s where we are.**
At NoCrastination, we don’t meet for hype. We meet to **show up and finish something, together.** Not perfectly. Not magically. Just consistently.
**Why “Style”?**
Because sometimes, the hardest part isn’t the task. It’s who you believe you are when you sit down to do it. When you wear something different,
something bold, unusual, or expressive: you step slightly outside your usual identity. And in that small shift… It becomes easier to start. Easier to act. Easier to follow through.
**Execution with Style**
Each session, you’re invited to wear something you normally wouldn’t:
* the jacket that never leaves your closet
* something colorful, dramatic, or expressive
* something funny, strange, or unexpected
* something you feel like you “can’t pull off”
No pressure. But if you join in, be ready to share the story behind it.
**Self-expression + execution = momentum**
**What this really is**
This is a space for people who:
* keep starting but don’t finish
* are building something (or figuring it out)
* don’t want to do it alone anymore
**What happens here**
You bring something you’ve been avoiding. We sit down together. We focus. And you leave with something done.
**Why people come back**
* “I finally follow through on what I plan”
* “I leave with real progress every time”
* “This is the only place I actually stay consistent”
**How long should I join?**
You don’t need to commit to the full session.
**Option 1: Try it (2 hours, 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM)**
Perfect if it’s your first time or you want a light commitment
**Option 2: Go deep (4 hours, 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM)**
Stay for the full session and build real momentum
**Time and location**
🕐 **Every Tuesday, 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM**
💻 **Bring:** your laptop, journal, or anything you’ve been avoiding
☕ Please do order something from the bar, so as to keep us in their good graces!
**Please arrive on time or during the break windows to avoid interrupting the focus sessions** 😊
**Focus schedule:**
13:30 – 14:20 → Focus Block 1
14:35 – 15:25 → Focus Block 2
15:40 – 16:30 → Focus Block 3
**If you expect to arrive late, please come during one of these break windows:**
13:00 – 13:20
14:20 – 14:30
15:25 – 15:35
Simple structure. Real progress.

Lernen durch Spielen: interaktiver Spieleabend
Was wäre, wenn wir wichtige Fähigkeiten für den Alltag und den Beruf trainieren könnten, während wir einfach nur gemeinsam lachen und eine gute Zeit haben?
Bei diesem Spieleabend nutzen wir die gesamte Bandbreite moderner Spiele als das, was sie im Kern sind: Ein absolut stressfreies Labor für soziale Kompetenz, strategisches Denken und echtes Miteinander. Ganz im Sinne von "Lernen zum Spaß" lassen wir die graue Theorie komplett weg und stürzen uns direkt ins gemeinsame Erleben!
Wir haben für jeden Geschmack die passende spielerische Herausforderung dabei – und jede davon schult ganz bestimmte Fähigkeiten:
* **Deduktionsspiele (Logik & Analytisches Denken):** Bei diesen Formaten geht es um messerscharfe Logik und das systematische Kombinieren von Fakten. Du lernst, verstreute Informationen strukturiert zu verknüpfen, die richtigen Fragen zu stellen und durch ein präzises Ausschlussverfahren Geheimnisse zu lüften.
* **Worker-Placement-Spiele (Strategie & Ressourcenmanagement):** Hier lernst du, knappe Ressourcen optimal zu verwalten, langfristig zu planen und deine Strategie flexibel anzupassen, wenn ein Mitspieler dir einen wertvollen Platz wegschnappt. Das ist angewandtes Projektmanagement im Kleinformat!
* **Social Deduction Games (Psychologie & Menschenkenntnis):** Hier stehen geheime Identitäten und das feine Spiel mit der Wahrheit im Vordergrund. Du schärfst deine Wahrnehmung, lernst zwischen den Zeilen zu lesen, Körpersprache zu deuten und deine eigene Überzeugungskraft beim Bluffen und Argumentieren gezielt einzusetzen.
* **Kooperative Spiele (Teamwork & Empathie):** Bei diesen Team-Highlights gewinnen oder verlieren wir nur gemeinsam. Hier trainierst du Vertrauen, intensive Koordination untereinander und die Fähigkeit, dich vollkommen auf die Perspektive und Denkweise deiner Mitspieler einzustellen.
### Was wir an diesem Abend ganz nebenbei lernen:
* **Kommunikation & Flexibilität:** Egal ob Kooperation oder Wettbewerb – wir schulen unsere Ausdrucksweise, die Wahrnehmung unseres Gegenübers und das gemeinsame Lösen komplexer Probleme.
* **Resilienz & Emotionale Stärke:** Der spielerische Umgang mit kniffligen Situationen und Team-Herausforderungen trainiert unsere emotionale Intelligenz und Gelassenheit für das echte Leben.
Bring super gerne auch deine eigenen Favoriten aus diesen Bereichen mit. Ob du neue Taktiken ausprobieren, deine Logik schärfen oder einfach nur tolle neue Menschen kennenlernen willst: Du bist hier genau richtig!
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
What if we could train essential skills for everyday life and our careers while simply laughing together and having a great time?
At this game night, we use the full spectrum of modern games for what they truly are at their core: an absolutely stress-free laboratory for social competence, strategic thinking, and genuine togetherness. In the spirit of "Learning for Fun," we skip the dry theory completely and dive straight into the shared experience!
We have the perfect playful challenge for every taste – and each one trains very specific skills:
* **Worker Placement Games (Strategy & Resource Management):** Here you learn to manage scarce resources optimally, plan long-term, and flexibly adapt your strategy when another player snatches a valuable spot from you. This is applied project management in miniature!
* **Deduction Games (Logic & Analytical Thinking):** These formats are all about razor-sharp logic and systematically combining facts. You learn to connect scattered pieces of information in a structured way, ask the right questions, and uncover secrets through a precise process of elimination.
* **Social Deduction Games (Psychology & Reading People):** Here, secret identities and the subtle game of truth take center stage. You sharpen your perception, learn to read between the lines, interpret body language, and purposefully use your own power of persuasion when bluffing and arguing.
* **Cooperative Games (Teamwork & Empathy):** In these team highlights, we only win or lose together. Here you train trust, intense coordination with one another, and the ability to adapt completely to the perspective and mindset of your fellow players.
### What we learn along the way:
* **Communication & Flexibility:** Whether cooperation or competition – we train our way of expression, the perception of our counterpart, and solving complex problems together.
* **Resilience & Emotional Strength:** Dealing playfully with tricky situations and team challenges trains our emotional intelligence and composure for real life.
Feel free to bring your own favorites from these categories. Whether you want to try out new tactics, sharpen your logic, or just meet great new people: you've come to the right place!

Blue Zone Dinner — The Long Table: When Strangers Become Family
Across the world, different cultures have the same word for the same sacred thing.
In the Arab world, it's ***sufra*** — the spread that holds the room.
Across Spain and Latin America, ***sobremesa*** — the hours no one wants to leave the table.
In Turkey and the Eastern Mediterranean, ***keyif*** — unhurried pleasure (the Greeks call it *kefi*, same ancient root).
Across Italy and the Lusophone world — Portugal, Brazil, Mozambique — ***convivio*** — living together through the meal.
In Southern Africa, ***ubuntu*** — "I am because we are."
In Okinawa, ***moai*** — the lifelong circle that eats, walks, and grows old together.
Across Malaysia and Indonesia, ***makan-makan*** — the easy, communal feast.
In the Sikh tradition across South Asia, ***langar*** — where every person eats as equal, seated on the same floor.
Eight cultures. Eight words. One truth: **the long table, the slow meal, the people who start as strangers and end as family.**
The Blue Zones research — Dan Buettner's work on the five places where humans live longest and healthiest (Okinawa, Sardinia, Ikaria, Nicoya, Loma Linda) — keeps pointing back to this. Not the recipe. The table. The presence. The time.
So let's do it.
**What:** One long table. Food we cook together. Hours of real conversation — emotions, relationships, philosophy, and yes, politics — not as sides, but as the questions we all carry. Here, what usually divides a room becomes the ground we meet on.
**What we leave behind:** Phones. All digital devices. None of the cultures we're honouring tonight needed them at the table — and the Blue Zones research is unambiguous: real longevity, real connection, real nervous-system repair happens only where we are not being scrolled into a loop.
**What we bring:** Ourselves. Our culture. Whatever we're carrying. Whatever we want to share.
**Open to everyone:** Whether your grandmother cooked in Beirut, Madrid, Istanbul, Naples, Johannesburg, Okinawa, Jakarta, or Amritsar — or nowhere at all — you belong at this table. The whole point is that nobody's culture runs the room. Every tradition sits beside every other.
**Before the event:** A poll goes out, so we choose the menu together.
**Now:** I'm looking for the right location — outdoors if possible, somewhere near Vienna. A garden, a terrace, a piece of land with trees and sky. If you have a spot or know one, message me. This is ours to build.
Come as you are. Stay as long as it takes.
*A small ritual before the ritual: a short call beforehand, 10 to 15 minutes. Not to screen you — to meet you. Every culture at this table starts a meal with a greeting. Ours starts here.*
— Tom

Losing Weight in Columbus - Saturday morning Metro Park at Scioto Audubon Park
Join the weight loss in Columbus group at the Scioto Audubon Park for an in person meeting. We'll meet to chat casually, talk about goals and enjoy one of Columbus's wonderful parks.
We'll meet at one of the outdoor shelters, which is covered in case of rain, is close to some walking trails, and there's also a climbing gym that people can try out (my favorite past time) if people are interested.
Let's meet and see where we can take things!
