We are happy to announce the next [eBPF](https://ebpf.io/)-focused meetup in Vienna scheduled for March 6, 2026. All talks will be suited for beginners and experts as well. Whether you're a web developer, platform engineer, data scientist or simply curious about the latest advancements in the world of IT, this event is for you.

\*\*please register here: https://villavida.at/event/pansexual-tension/\*\* Join Pansexual Tension on 6 March 2026 at Villa Vida Café. Fast rounds. Mutual matches. Bi and pan-centered energy. Gender? We’ll take ’em all – or none. Strictly 18+. 20E/person How Pansexual Tension Speed Dating Works 💞 Fast & Fun: You’ll have a series of short, engaging conversations with different participants throughout the evening. Each round is timed, so everyone gets equal space to connect. No hovering. No guesswork. Just real conversations, one after another. Simple Match System: At the end of the event, you’ll privately mark who you’d like to see again. If there’s mutual interest, we’ll connect you afterward. No public rejections, no awkward announcements — just shared chemistry. Low-Pressure Vibes: The goal is to enjoy yourself while meeting amazing bi, pan, and fluid folks. Whether you’re bold, shy, newly out, or just curious, this space is designed to feel playful and relaxed. No stress. Just good company. Important to Know The information you provide in the registration form is exactly what will be shared with your matches. Please fill it out mindfully and only include details you’re comfortable passing on. While the structure is designed to support connections, we cannot guarantee matches. Matching depends entirely on mutual interest — and that’s part of what keeps the event respectful and pressure-free. What Kind of Connections Are People Looking For? In most cases, participants attend with romantic or dating intentions, but this is not a rule. Some people come out of curiosity, for connection, or simply to meet new people in a low-stakes way. This event centers bisexual, pansexual, and gender-expansive attraction — meaning gender doesn’t define the possibility of connection. Everyone navigating attraction beyond strict binaries is welcome. Keep an open mind. Communicate clearly. Respect boundaries. Trust that everyone is showing up for their own reasons — and that’s completely valid. Villa Vida is an accessible location and has an accessible toilet. English is used for the hosting of the event, but conversation can take place in whatever language you want Soli tickets available by email: villavidavienna@gmail.com

Sense. Breathe. Return to yourself. Due to the strong interest and warm response to the first workshop, this session is returning. In a world of speed, multitasking, and constant stimulation, true presence becomes a rare and powerful skill. This interactive workshop offers a space to slow down, reconnect with your body, and understand how mindfulness and meditation transforms your brain, your communication, and your moment-to-moment experience. Through a blend of neuroscience, mindfulness tools, introspection, pair- and group activities, we explore how the brain, body, and nervous system shape the way we feel, interact, and respond. You’ll learn how posture, breath, emotional signals, and internal narratives influence communication – and how mindful presence can shift everything. You’ll explore: ● The neuroscience of mindfulness, meditation and self-awareness. ● How feelings, needs, and body sensations shape your relationships. ● How to meet difficult emotions with curiosity and compassion. ● How to practice RAIN as a gentle, structured process. ● How Metta meditation softens the heart and supports resilience. ● How body language influences communication and nervous system safety. ● How breath and movements bring you back into the present moment. Ideal for anyone wanting to live and communicate with more clarity, intention, and authenticity – in body, mind, and heart. Please bring paper and a pen. Cash donation is appreciated. One third of the collected donations will be shared with the café, supporting this community space.
