Sensory Processing Disorder

**What is Innate Dance?** Innate Dance is a joyful approach to movement, which invites deeper embodiment and self-connection through butoh inspired movement, Noguchi Taiso exercises, the Seki Method, somatic attention and imagination. We shake it out, breaking up stuck energy held in the body, and explore new movement possibilities from a place of alignment and sensitivity. Thanks to our open awareness we can be surprised by lesser-known parts of ourselves and come to appreciate our innate wisdom in movement. Through exercises, explorations and improvisations we build trust in the body that knows how it would like to move and express itself, and when we follow our innate dance, it just feels good! There is also time and space to dance freely, to enjoy the music in your body and to let go! Ultimately, it's about feeling more 'in' our body and grounding joy. **When? Where? How much?** **Mondays 19:30-21:00** in Studio 2, Tanz\*Hotel, Zirkusgasse 35, 1020 Wien Try out € 16\,\- \| One class drop\-in € 21\,\- \| Student € 10\,\- \| 5 x class pass €95\,\- \| 1 x class pass for rest of semester € 224\,\- \(or €16/class\) **Who teaches the course?** Jess is a dancer and psychotherapist (humanistic and integrative), who loves shaping classes that offer the space to explore the many facets of being human. Sometimes this learning involves physically embodying non-humans like trees, fish and wind, so we can get out of our limited-human-thinking-mind and into the bigger wisdom available through imagination and our body. At other times it's about dancing textures, sensations or taking on the energy of parts of ourselves so we can know them better. Jess has danced all her life and has been exploring butoh dance for the past eleven years alongside her psychotherapeutic practice. She is co-author of *The Seki Method - Basics* (now available to buy online via website), is a Seki Method Facilitator, and was a 2024 student at the Im_Flieger Schule researching dance and healing.

### Come and discover Dr. David Berceli’s body-based method, TRE® — Tension, Stress & Trauma Release Exercises. This practice supports our natural self-healing capacity and helps the body process and release accumulated stress in a natural way. Have you ever seen a dog start trembling during New Year’s fireworks? Or a bird that, after flying into a window, lies still for a while and then shakes? Have you ever trembled after a shock or stressful event? These are all natural responses — the body’s way of helping us discharge and “shake out” tension. TRE® technique activates this ancient wisdom within us. * TRE® safely activates the body’s natural reflex of shaking or vibrating, which helps calm the nervous system and release muscular tension. When this process occurs in a safe and controlled environment, the body naturally returns to a balanced state. * TRE® gently releases deep-seated stress and physical tension stored in the body, promoting relaxation and calmness. * TRE® enhances physical, emotional, and mental resilience, helping individuals feel more grounded and balanced.

**Pause. Sense. Feel. Transform.** **Anger, rage, and frustration are part of being human. Yet when left unchecked, they can hijack our nervous system, cloud communication, and strain our relationships.** **This two-part experiential workshop series offers a grounded, science based path to meeting anger with awareness; and transforming it into clarity, empathy, and compassion.** **Blending neuroscience, mindfulness practices, embodied movement, and mindful communication tools, we explore how anger affects the body and brain; and how it can become a powerful gateway to self understanding and deeper connection with others.** **Through guided meditation, reflective journaling, gentle movement, visualisation, pair and group exercises, you’ll learn how to rechannel stress, regulate your nervous system, and engage with conflict in a more conscious and compassionate way.** **Part 1: Rechanneling Stress and Understanding Our Needs** **We all experience anger and frustration, when we feel disrespected, unheard, or blocked from reaching our goals. These emotions can feel overwhelming and have a strong impact on our nervous system and well-being. How can we navigate these moments without being overtaken by them?** **In this first workshop, we focus on understanding anger from the inside out. We explore how emotional hijacking and chronic stress work in the brain and body, and how our internal narratives and unmet needs fuel reactive patterns. With curiosity** **and compassion, we begin to transform anger into self-awareness and self-care.** **You’ll explore:** **● The neuroscience of anger, rage, stress response, and emotional hijacking** **● How bodily sensations and internal narratives shape anger** **● Identifying the feelings and unmet needs behind frustration** **● How to rechannel anger through breath, visualisation, and gentle movement** **● Using mindful self-talk and mantras to express needs** **● Cultivating self-compassion as a foundation for clarity and regulation** **The Mindful BAse x Villa Vida** **Where science meets mindfulness – for awareness, connection, and community.** **At The Mindful BAse, we believe that mindfulness is not only a personal practice, but also a powerful way to strengthen relationships, communities, and our connection with our environment. Founded in Vienna in 2025, our mission is simple: to bring people together,** **foster well-being, and cultivate a community rooted in awareness, kindness, compassion and** **respect.** **Through our collaboration with Villa Vida, we are excited to present a series of science-based mindfulness workshops designed to encourage meaningful dialogue, nurture learning and reflection for supporting the local queer community. We create spaces where** **ancient practices meet modern insights, offering sessions that combine yoga, meditation, neuroscience, communication tools in a safe, inclusive and inspiring space. Each workshop invites you to slow down, connect, and learn practical ways to care for yourself and others – grounded in both science and lived experience.** **All identities, bodies, and levels of experience are welcome.** **[https://themindfulbase.com](https://themindfulbase.com/)** **[https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-mindful-base](https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-mindful-base)** **[https://www.instagram.com/the_mindful_base](https://www.instagram.com/the_mindful_base)** **Registration:** **[https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSckePQuhI-pydwGvKms1btW6JQHxnBvpX20HpkyrxGpniBW7A/viewform](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSckePQuhI-pydwGvKms1btW6JQHxnBvpX20HpkyrxGpniBW7A/viewform)**

(This talk will be held in German) Am 18.4. verschaffen wir uns einen Einblick in die Kultur der Shipibo aus dem peruanischen Amazonas. Sie bezeichnen sich selbst als "Dieta-Menschen“ und leben in einer tiefen Verbindung zur Natur, die sie als beseelt und geistgetragen verstehen. Sie sind vor allem durch ihren traditionellen Gebrauch von Ayahuasca bekannt, welcher jedoch nur einen kleinen Teil ihrer kulturellen Praxis darstellt. Der Vortrag beleuchtet die Cosmovision der Shipibo sowie zentrale Elemente wie die Dieta, Meisterpflanzen und ihre traditionellen Gesänge. Auch nach der Präsentation bleibt der Raum geöffnet für gemeinsame Diskussion und Austausch. Türen offen: 18:00 // Beginn: 18:30 Eintritt 5€\* cash only (Für Mitglieder frei. Werde ein Mitglied: [www.psychedelicsociety.at](https://www.psychedelicsociety.at/)) Sagedergasse 18, 1120 Vienna (Eingang zwischen Billa and Bipa; nicht barrierefrei) Der Vortragende Biri Metsa verbrachte viele Jahre in Peru, lebte eng mit den Shipibo und wurde in ihre Tradition eingeweiht. Er arbeitete in verschiedenen Heilungszentren und vermittelt heute fundiertes Wissen über die traditionelle Heilkunde der Shipibo mit besonderem Fokus auf dem respektvollen Umgang mit ihrem Wissen. Sein Anliegen ist es, die Prakiten der Shipibo verständlich zu machen und ihr Potenzial für eine harmonischere Verbindung zwischen Mensch und Natur aufzuzeigen. //We do not provide any illegal substances, nor allow their distribution or consumption at our events.

Dark humor takes center stage!** Welcome to **Uncensored Open Mic**, the rawest and wildest comedy stage in Vienna! Here, there are no taboos, no censorship, and no holding back—just pure, unfiltered humor. Comedians of all levels storm the stage to test their most daring, sharpest, and funniest jokes. This is stand-up without filters, without safety nets—just pure comedy chaos! ### 🤔 **What is an Open Mic?** An Open Mic is where comedy is born. This is the place where comedians try out new ideas, improvise on the spot, and test material that might one day end up on a Netflix special—or crash and burn. At **Uncensored Open Mic**, anything goes! Experience unfiltered jokes, wild stories, and raw stand-up comedy. ### 🍻 **The Comedy Pub – Vienna's Only Stand-Up Comedy Club** Located at Kettenbrückengasse 7, **The Comedy Pub** is the heart of Vienna's stand-up scene.

Whether you're a comedy veteran or a first-timer, you'll feel right at home at The Comedy Pub. ### 💡 **Why is it Free? (Donations Welcome!)** Simple: Stand-up comedy needs a live audience. It’s an art form that thrives on reaction—your laughs, gasps, and yes, even your groans help shape the show. That’s why entry is free, and donations are welcome. If you laughed, show us some love. If you didn’t…well, maybe next time! 😉 ### 🎟️ **Audience Guidelines:** To make sure everyone has a great time, we ask for a few simple things: * **Be on Time:** We start right on schedule. * **Follow Instructions:** It’s easy, we promise. * **Laugh Loudly:** Great jokes deserve great laughs. * **Donate if You Liked the Show:** It's the best way to say, "Hey, I had fun!" * **No Heckling:** You will lose. Every time. * **No Talking During the Show:** Respect the comedians and the audience. This isn’t your living room—it’s a privilege to be here. If you’re disturbing the show, the audience, or the comedians, we’ll kick you out. No refunds, no second chances. We’re here for good vibes and great comedy—don’t mess that up. ### 🎉 **Experience Stand-up Comedy Raw and Unfiltered – Join Us Every Saturday!** #UncensoredComedy #OpenMicVienna #StandUpUnleashed #ComedyWithoutLimits #TheComedyPub #RawAndReal #ViennaComedy #NoFilter #StandUpRevolution #OpenMicNight #ViennaEvents #LiveComedy #RealStandUp #NoBoundaries #UncutHumor #ComedyWithoutRules #OpenMicMonday #ViennaNightlife #DonationBased #ComedyInVienna #LocalComedians #TheComedyPubVienna #BoldAndFunny #LaughUnleashed #RawStandUp #EnglishComedyVienna #LaughOutLoud #ViennaLaughs #ComedyInTheHeartOfVienna #ExperienceTheChaos #GetReadyToLaugh

Whether you're Deaf, HoH, an interpreter, an ASL student, or just want to learn or practice American Sign Language (ASL), we welcome all levels of signers to come join us for an evening of ASL socializing and practice. This event occurs on the first and third Sundays of every month, in the heart of Fairfax County at the Fairfax Wegman's (corner of Route 29 and Monument Drive). We can be found on the upper level, typically near the stairs. We generally start around 7 pm. ASL beginners are welcome, but you should know the ASL alphabet and some basic signs - this is not an ASL class, but the more experienced signers are generally happy to help beginners learn and improve. There is no better way to develop your signing skills than by joining the conversation with other signers. There is a place for everyone to join, learn and practice. Regardless, we are always welcoming so don’t be discouraged to attend; this is very informal and new folks are always welcome. Note, some attendees arrive early and grab some of Wegman’s food for dinner, so you can combine a shopping trip with the ASL practice.

May is National Bike Month... so let's kick off the 2026 riding season with this casual, family-friendly, 6-mile loop.

Before arriving, please pump up your tires, check your brakes, lube your chain, and take your bike for a test spin. Elected and appointed Rockville city officials will be formally invited to ride also. We will meet in the parking lot of Rockville City Hall. RAIN DATE: Sunday, May 3, 2026 READ THE FINE PRINT, PLEASE: • Bicycling involves inherent risks and requires that participants be in proper physical condition.
