Intelligent Conversation

We will meet in a calm and friendly place to explore together some of Jiddu Krishnamurti’s key questions about awareness, relationship, and freedom. There will be no teaching, no authority — only open dialogue and attentive listening. Everyone is welcome, whether you are familiar with Krishnamurti or simply curious about life and self-understanding. We’ll start with an open conversation around a theme such as “Listening without judgment” or “Can thought bring clarity?” Please bring openness, curiosity, and a readiness to listen — no books or notes needed. The spirit is not to discuss “what should be,” but to observe together “what is.”

**Damh the Bard ([https://www.paganmusic.co.uk/](https://www.paganmusic.co.uk/))** is a modern-day Bard whose spirituality and love of folk tradition is expressed through his music, storytelling and poetry. His performances are both entertaining and educational, speaking directly to the heart, and never without a good splash of humour. **[GET TICKETS HERE](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/damh-the-bard-live-in-concert-in-vienna-tickets-1980778733513?aff=oddtdtcreator)**[ ](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/damh-the-bard-live-in-concert-in-vienna-tickets-1980778733513?aff=oddtdtcreator) With twelve outstanding albums, and singing and speaking engagements all over the world, Damh has become one of the most popular contemporary Pagan musicians – a musical storyteller who works within the world of myth: where the Elves dance on Midsummer’s Eve, where the trees talk, and the Hollow Hills take you into the Otherworld, where the Goddess rides her horse, guiding you to magic, and the Horned God and Greenman of old call to you from the shadows of the Greenwood. We're happy to welcome him back to Vienna for a one-night-only concert at a classic Irish Pub. **[GET TICKETS HERE](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/damh-the-bard-live-in-concert-in-vienna-tickets-1980778733513?aff=oddtdtcreator)**[ ](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/damh-the-bard-live-in-concert-in-vienna-tickets-1980778733513?aff=oddtdtcreator) **Where:** The Golden Harp Landstrasse: [https://www.goldenharp1030.at/ ](https://www.goldenharp1030.at/) Erdbergstraße 27, 1030 Wien, Austria **When:** Saturday, May 30, 2026. 20:00 (Doors open at 19:00) Concert should last about two hours. **Details:** Food is available and is good proper Irish Pub food, so come early if you'd like to eat :-) **ONLINE TICKET PRICE:** **EUR 35** **[GET TICKETS HERE](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/damh-the-bard-live-in-concert-in-vienna-tickets-1980778733513?aff=oddtdtcreator)**[ ](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/damh-the-bard-live-in-concert-in-vienna-tickets-1980778733513?aff=oddtdtcreator) ***Buy Now- We Expect Tickets to Sell Out*** ***Online Tickets Available Until Friday May 29, 2026 at 20:00*** ***Ticket Price at the door: EUR 40.

This event is part of our weekly event series \-\-\- Hey Badminton Enthusiasts! This meet-up is for all levels: beginners, intermediates and experts. Everyone is welcome to join, test their skills and have some fun together! The host will reserve courts in advance, that means please only register if you really plan to come (or cancel at least 24 hours before the event starts). The fee for this event is 12€ (for the 2 hours). If you plan on paying in cash, please bring the exact amount as the host might not have any change available. We are meeting at about 10.55 near the reception by the lounge area (next to the courts). Come a bit earlier so you have time to change into workout/sports clothes. The locker rooms are free to use, but you need to bring your own padlock - or you can also take your bag of clothes upstairs to the courts if you do not have a padlock. Also, bring clean indoor sports shoes, your racket and a water bottle with you. If you do not have a racket, it is possible to rent rackets from the club, if necessary (3€). Sometimes the host or other members have spare rackets - please ask in the comment section below! If you are joining our events for the first time, WELCOME! Let the host know that you are new and they will find a place for you. Don't worry, we are an open and friendly group. We are sure you will develop connections with the people in our community in no time! **Without further ado - let's play some badminton and have fun together**

**Achtung:** **Dieser Kurs besteht aus zwei Teilen: der 2. Teil folgt in zwei Wochen am 13. Juni!** Bitte stellen Sie sicher, dass Sie an beiden Kursteilen teilnehmen können! Manchmal lassen wir uns einschüchtern von anderen, die sich mit größter Selbstverständlichkeit mit ihren Ansichten und Interessen in den Vordergrund stellen. * **Manchmal sind wir sprachlos, wenn andere uns beleidigen, uns klein reden oder Dinge von uns verlangen, die wir nicht wollen, aber dennoch nicht ablehnen können.** In einer kleinen freundlichen Gruppe üben wir uns darin zu wachsen, fest zu stehen, Grenzen zu ziehen und uns durchzusetzen: körperlich, emotional und verbal. Damit wir es das nächste Mal da draußen auch schaffen! **Die Sprache im Workshop ist Deutsch.** Teilnehmende, deren Erstsprache nicht Deutsch ist, sollten mindestens **Deutschniveau B2** haben. Bei Verständnisfragen kann jedoch auf Englisch oder Französisch übersetzt werden. - **-->** **Dieser Workshop wurde neu erstellt, deshalb ist die Teilnahme kostenlos.** **Doch eine freiwillige Spende ist sehr willkommen!** **Hinweis:** **Dieser Kurs wird voraussichtlich in absehbarer Zeit auch auf Englisch und auf Französisch angeboten werden. Bei Interesse bitte dieser Gruppe folgen!** **+++++++** **STANDING TALL WITH CONFIDENCE - 1st part** **Attention please:** **This course consists of 2 parts!** **The 2nd part will take place the 13th of June.** Please make sure that you can participate at both parts! Sometimes we let ourselves be intimidated by others who naturally push themselves to the forefront with their views and interests. * **Sometimes we are left speechless when others insult us, belittle us, or demand things that we don’t want but feel unable to refuse.** In a small, friendly group, we practice growing, standing firm, setting boundaries, and asserting ourselves: physically, emotionally, and verbally – so that we can succeed out there next time! **The workshop language is German**. Participants whose first language is not German should have **at least a B2 level**. However, for comprehension questions, translations into English or French can be provided. **--> This workshop has been newly created, therefore the participation will be free of charge.** **But free donation will be very welcome!** **Note:** **This course is also expected to be offered in English in the near future. If you are interested, please follow this group!** **+++++++** **S'AFFIRMER AVEC ASSURANCE - 1ère partie** **Attention: ce cours est divisé en deux parties!** **La 2ème partie se déroulera au 13 juin.** S.v.p., assurez-vous de pouvoir participer à toutes les deux parties! Parfois, nous nous laissons intimider par d'autres qui se mettent en avant avec leurs opinions et leurs intérêts avec la plus grande assurance. * **Parfois, nous restons sans voix lorsque d'autres nous insultent, nous rabaissent ou exigent de nous des choses que nous ne voulons pas, mais que nous n'arrivons pourtant pas à refuser.** Au sein d'un petit groupe bienveillant, nous nous exerçons à grandir, à rester fermes, à poser des limites et à nous affirmer : physiquement, émotionnellement et verbalement. Pour que nous y arrivions aussi, la prochaine fois, dans le monde extérieur ! **La langue du workshop est l'allemand.** Les participants dont la langue maternelle n'est pas l'allemand doivent avoir **au moins un niveau B2.** En cas de questions de compréhension, une traduction en anglais ou en français est toutefois possible. **--> Cet atelier vient d'être crée et pour cette raison la participation sera gratuite.** **Mais une donation libre sera la bienvenue!** **Remarque :** **Ce cours sera probablement proposé prochainement aussi en français. Si vous êtes intéressé(e), n'hésitez pas à suivre ce groupe !**

See you there!](https://www.universe.com/events/english-stand-up-comedy-open-mic-uncensored-the-comedy-pub-tickets-T7DMVN?ref=MeetUp)** **Explore the wild side of comedy at 'Uncensored' every Saturday, 22:00 - 00:00, hosted by Homer. 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. With its cozy pub vibe, cold drinks, and laid-back atmosphere, it's the perfect place to enjoy live comedy. 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

[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations. If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!). **HOW IT WORKS** **Step 1: Bring a topic** Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event. **Step 2: Circle up & share** We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds. **Step 3: Walk, talk & float** We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!" **Step 4: Feel more alive** Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times. *For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)* **HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC** A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about. Recent topics include: * "What are you passionate about right now?" * "What makes a good friend?" * "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?" * "How do you want to be remembered?" * "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?" Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter. **WHAT TO EXPECT** This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.* But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here. **FAQ** * Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk! * We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space. * We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space. * Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know. * Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic! **LOGISTICS** * If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event. * This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs. * Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details. * If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋 **IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...** [The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up. * This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries.
