Listening

Welcome Book Lovers! Join our Meet Up Group to find like-minded book readers! This event is for everybody interested in listening or sharing new book content or comment on it. You are welcome just to come for inspiration. You definitely don't need to read books at the moment. It is a gathering for everybody to find like-minded people interested in learning something new. :) Feel free to bring your own book with you. The event will take place at the volunteer organisation MUT. It is an organisation to supports humans, animals and the environment especially in Vienna. I am happy to host it there. 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. This is the address: Rechte Wienzeile 37, 1040 Wien Walk until the end of the main entrance hall. At the end of the hallway you find a big green gate with a sign of the Social Book Club. Please give your best to be on time so that we can have a nice introduction round together. If you can't attend anymore please cancel the event to give someone else the space to come. :) Check out the Social Book Club Website for more content: https://socialbookclub.de/ Looking forward to seeing you there! :)

**In Wicca and other Neo-Pagan traditions the "Wheel of the Year" is central. Eight yearly festivals that echo the seasonal rites of our ancestors.** **This month's celebration is IMBOLC!** In the Wheel of the Year, **Imbolc** marks a luminous hinge between the dark inwardness of winter and the returning vitality of spring. Imbolc is both an outer seasonal festival and an inner threshold of awakening. It is a time to celebrate the first stirrings of life beneath the cold earth, the increasing light in the sky, and the growing promise of renewal. Imbolc, etymologically linked to the lactation of ewes, evokes nourishment, fertility, and the first sweetness of the coming season. It is associated with the Goddess in her aspect as **Brigid**—a triple Goddess of fire, inspiration, healing, and craftsmanship—whose presence draws us towards creative rebirth and fresh clarity of purpose. Spiritually, Imbolc invites us to clear away the stagnation of the long winter months and open ourselves to new insights, intentions, and inner illumination. This festival encourages practitioners to honor the emerging light both outside and within—cultivating mindfulness, creative vision, and compassionate action. Through ritual, candlelight, and heartfelt reflection, we welcome the returning life force and commit ourselves to the cycles of growth that mirror nature’s own. Imbolc is a time of threshold magic: a moment to step forward from the depths of hibernation into the brightening path ahead, guided by the fire of transformation and the song of awakening. **TICKETS: You can pay cash at the door (EUR 15) or buy a ticket online HERE (EUR 10):** **[https://www.eventbrite.com/e/fellowship-of-the-western-mysteries-open-ritual-tickets-1979108347343?aff=ebdsshcopyurl&utm-campaign=social&utm-content=attendeeshare&utm-medium=discovery&utm-term=listing&utm-source=cp](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/fellowship-of-the-western-mysteries-open-ritual-tickets-1979108347343?aff=ebdsshcopyurl&utm-campaign=social&utm-content=attendeeshare&utm-medium=discovery&utm-term=listing&utm-source=cp)** **(Online tickets are non-refundable.)** **The event and the ritual will be held in English** unless otherwise noted. We sometimes do have other groups host rituals, and sometimes they work in other languages. If that is the case it will be noted here. **Doors open at 19:30**. Ritual talk-through will start at 20:00 or so and the ritual will start soon after the talk-through. Ritual length varies but the ritual itself should be over by 21:30 to 22:00. Afterwords there will be time for socializing and merrymaking, so plan to stay longer if you're feeling social and you can. If not of course you can go when you wish. :-) There is an open bar on-site. :-) **Attire:** Street clothes are fine but try to come dressed as much as possible in a single colour- black and white are best. If you have ritual attire (robes etc.) and would like to wear them, feel free. Beginners and experienced practioners alike, as well as the merely curious are welcomed. We will explain everything you need to do before the ritual- it's possible (and completely fine) to jump right in. The environment is friendly and welcoming and newcomers are welcomed! We do a full talk-through before the ritual, explain what the ritual is about and what everyone needs to know and understand, and we'll guide you through the whole thing, so there is really no problem coming if you have no idea what to expect. Run in partnership with our friends at The Hexen/Heiden Stammtisch [Feuerkreise.at](https://feuerkreise.at/forum/index.php)/ [https://www.facebook.com/groups/271329456233561](https://www.facebook.com/groups/271329456233561). **Feuerkreis Verein members receive a discounted entry- EUR 5.** This must be paid at the door and in cash.

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

**Calling all queer crochet enthusiasts;** I am a visual artist located in Columbus that is searching for people who may want to gather while also participating in creating a piece of artwork. My goal is to spend time enjoying one another’s company while making a work of art that will be displayed within our community. I plan to teach people to crochet (if unfamiliar) while also inviting current fiber artists to join us for some much-needed social interaction. There are no expectations from those who attend, materials will be included, and any amount of participation is welcome! If you have a favorite crochet hook or current project you are welcome to bring that along too! The primary goal is to foster a safe space for our community to chat, create and be. For further information please email [landerknits@outlook.com.](http://landerknits@outlook.com.) \*This will be our 2nd meeting, bring friends and make new ones. Come as you are and make along side other like-minded folks.
