Self-Sufficiency

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

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 “**The School of Life"** (310 pages) written by Alain De Botton.

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: *The School of Life has one simple aim: to equip people with the tools to survive and thrive in the modern world. And the most important of these tools is emotional intelligence.* *This book brings together ten years of essential and transformative research on emotional intelligence, with practical topics including:* *\- how to understand yourself* *\- how to master the dilemmas of relationships* *\- how to become more effective at work* *\- how to endure failure* *\- how to grow more serene and resilient* See you then! All the best Sebastian

**[GET TICKETS HERE!!!!](https://www.eventbrite.at/e/arabic-stand-up-comedy-show-thecomedypub-tickets-1979756250238?aff=MeetUp)** Syrian vs Lebanese comedy! Saad & Rami battle culture, identity & integration in a hilarious Arabic stand-up showdown. Syria against Lebanon.Do these two countries have more in common — or more differences? Many people might disagree on a definitive answer…But Saad and Rami are here to explore the topic — for your amusement. This Arabic stand-up comedy show is a playful, sharp, and brutally honest cultural face-off, where identity, migration, stereotypes, and integration collide on stage. 🎙 The Comedians Saad arrived in Austria as a refugee ten years ago — like many Syrians before him. Since then, he has collected countless stories about life in Austria, the refugee experience, cultural misunderstandings, and the strange expectations placed on newcomers. Rami, half-Bulgarian and half-Lebanese, has lived in Austria for 24 years. With blue eyes and white skin, he has “mastered integration” — or at least that’s what everyone assumes. His comedy dissects privilege, perception, and what integration really means when you look the “right” way. Together, they fight — not with politics or violence — but with jokes.Which, let’s be honest, is something the Middle East has perfected over the last few decades. Expect: Cultural clashes Brutal honesty Refugee vs “perfectly integrated” immigrant Identity, stereotypes & dark humor Big laughs with uncomfortable truths 🎯 WHO IS THIS SHOW FOR? ✔️ Arabic-speaking audiences✔️ Syrians, Lebanese & the wider Arab community✔️ Expats & migrants who enjoy smart, cultural humor✔️ Anyone who loves stand-up comedy with edge and honesty✔️ People who like laughing at serious topics — properly 🍻 VENUE – THE COMEDY PUB Vienna’s home for international comedy.An intimate venue with a full bar, warm crowd, and the perfect atmosphere for raw, honest stand-up. 📍 Kettenbrückengasse 7, 1050 Vienna🚇 U4 Kettenbrückengasse 📅 EVENT DETAILS 📆 Date: Saturday, January 24th🚪 Doors: 18:00🎤 Show: 18:30🗣 Language: Arabic🎟 Tickets: Available online💺 Seating is limited – early arrival recommended 🎤 سوري ونص لبناني عرض ستاند أب كوميدي عربي مباشر في فيينا 📅 السبت 24 كانون الثاني🚪 الدخول: 18:00 \| 🎤 بداية العرض: 18:30📍 The Comedy Pub – فيينا سوريا ضد لبنان.هل لدينا قواسم مشتركة أكثر؟أم أن الاختلافات أكبر؟ قد يختلف الكثيرون على إجابة واضحة…لكن سعد ورامي قررا استكشاف الموضوع — من أجل التسلية فقط. عرض كوميدي ساخر، ذكي، وصريح، يتناول الهوية، الهجرة، الاندماج، والصور النمطية من منظور عربي حقيقي. 🎙 عن الكوميديين سعد وصل إلى النمسا لاجئًا قبل 10 سنوات، مثل كثير من السوريين. وخلال هذه السنوات جمع قصصًا لا تُحصى عن الحياة في النمسا، نظرة المجتمع للاجئين، والمواقف اليومية التي لا يمكن اختراعها. رامي، نصف بلغاري ونصف لبناني، يعيش في النمسا منذ 24 عامًا. بعيونه الزرقاء ولون بشرته الأبيض، أتقن “الاندماج المثالي” — أو على الأقل هكذا يراه الآخرون. كوميدياه تسلط الضوء على الامتيازات، الأحكام المسبقة، وما يعنيه الاندماج فعلًا. كلاهما هنا ليتقاتلا…لكن بالسخرية، لا بالسياسة.وهي مهارة أتقنها الشرق الأوسط منذ عقود. توقعوا: صدام ثقافات سخرية سوداء لاجئ مقابل “مندمج مثالي” هوية، صور نمطية، وحقائق غير مريحة ضحك كبير مع جرعة صراحة 🎯 لمن هذا العرض؟ ✔️ للجمهور الناطق بالعربية✔️ للسوريين واللبنانيين✔️ للجاليات العربية في فيينا✔️ لمحبي الكوميديا الذكية والصريحة✔️ لمن يحب الضحك على المواضيع الجدية 🎟 سوري ونص لبناني عرض كوميدي عربي مباشر في فيينا24 يناير \| The Comedy Pub

### **,,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

Sunday is an invitation to slow down. A natural pause between the week that was and the one ahead. Our weekly Breathwork Circle at **The Center in Noordhoek** (Cape Town) is designed as a dedicated space to step out of doing-mode and back into your body, your breath, and yourself. In this 2-hour Conscious Connected Breathwork (CCB) session, we guide you through a powerful yet safe breath journey that supports stress release, emotional regulation, inner clarity, and reconnection with what truly matters to you. Breathwork has the capacity to gently dissolve stored tension, bring insight, and open space for lasting change — without needing to “talk” your way through it. Each circle is intentionally capped at **6 participants** to allow for depth, presence, and individual attention within a supportive group container. This Sunday circle is an ongoing weekly offering — a ritual to recalibrate your nervous system, reflect on your inner landscape, and consciously set the tone for the days ahead. No prior breathwork experience is needed; just a willingness to show up as you are. **About us:** These circles are facilitated by Sophie and Bjoern, certified Conscious Connected Breathwork facilitators and co-founders of *onoera*. Coming from high-performance career backgrounds and having experienced burnout and misalignment firsthand, they guide each session with depth, sensitivity, and respect for individual processes. Their work blends science-informed nervous-system awareness with embodied presence, creating a grounded, non-dogmatic space where participants can explore at their own pace. Each circle is intentionally limited in size to ensure personal attention and a contained group experience. No prior breathwork experience is needed — only curiosity and a willingness to meet yourself honestly. **Important Booking Information:** You need a ticket for this event. Tickets can be purchased using this link: https://onoera.com/group-circles/weekly-breathwork-circle-at-the-center-noordhoek-25-01

**A Special Launch Event:** 🎊 This is our very first Astrology Cafe session, and we're thrilled to be launching it at the start of 2026 – an astrologically momentous year! With significant planetary shifts and super rare cosmic alignments on the horizon, there's no better time to deepen your connection with yourself and understand what this unbelievable year has in store. **Why Astrology?** Astrology is a symbolic language 🌌 and, as such, it is the ideal method for understanding and connecting with our unconscious. If you want to get to know yourself better and strengthen the connection to your inner wisdom and creativity, then this session is for you. 💫 **What Makes This Different:** This is not a classical teaching event. Rather, what you can expect here is a fun, guided experience, mixing astrology with **creative journaling** ✍️ and **meditative reflection** 🧘. You will get a chance to flex your intuitive muscles and also meet some like-minded seekers and thinkers. After this session, you will understand how astrology can be used to forge a deeper connection with yourself and access more of the magic you carry. **What to Expect:** This cozy session will give you the chance to connect with peers and become more mindful of your astrology journey through deeper understanding and perspectives. Every week we are working on a different topic, question, chart placement, etc. Feel free to become a regular, or drop by whenever you wish. 🌙 We will begin the session with an introduction of all participants ⭐ We will then guide you through various exercises in small groups, meant to help you to explore the wealth that astrology has in store for you. 💬 The session will conclude with an open discussion, and a chance to ask any questions. **Who Should Attend:** This session is open to complete beginners 🌱 as well as those who have experience with astrology. It is recommended to have your birth chart available. To generate your chart, I recommend using the website ***astro.com*** 💰This event is offered COMPLETELY FREE OF CHARGE but donations are more than welcome. You can donate using **PayPal** (paypal.me/furtunadincarpati) or **Revolut** (revolut.me/misterclarity).

Please use this link https://waiver.smartwaiver.com/w/b5nky2tonaovjqgjn6ap5p/web/ The chores you will be doing are physical.
