Hi everyone 👋 A bit short notice, but maybe just right for a fresh start: **Tomorrow, January 1st, 2026**, I’m planning a relaxed New Year’s walk along the **Mühlwasser**. Perfect for getting off the holiday couch, collecting a few easy steps for your New Year’s resolutions — and with a bit of luck, catching some winter sunshine 🌤️ **Meeting point:** 📍 **U2 station Stadtlau**, ground floor, opposite the pharmacy (Exit **Kaisermühlenstraße)** 🕐 **1:00 p.m.** From there, we’ll start the **Mühlwasserrunde**, an easy and scenic loop through the Lobau: calm (and cold) Danube side arms, forests and wide open paths — quiet, flat and ideal for a gentle start into the year. **Route details:** * Duration: approx. **3 hours** * Distance: approx. **10 km** * Elevation gain: minimal (mostly flat) * Difficulty: **easy** [https://www.bergfex.at/sommer/niederoesterreich/touren/wanderung/589258,muehlwasserrunde/](https://www.bergfex.at/sommer/niederoesterreich/touren/wanderung/589258,muehlwasserrunde/) We’ll walk at a comfortable, social pace and take short breaks as needed. There are no huts or restaurants along the way, so please bring your own snacks and drinks (at least **1 liter of water**). It will be cold, so dress warmly and wear sturdy winter-appropriate shoes. Some sections may be muddy or slightly icy, depending on the weather — nothing dramatic. Some people from my other group will also join. As always: this is a **free, private leisure activity**. I’m not a certified hiking guide, and participation is at your own responsibility and risk. Looking forward to starting the new year outdoors together 🙂 **Jörg** 🥾❄️

Join us there in the **YesTheory Austria** group, then find the **“[Projekt Kaltwasserbaden](https://chat.whatsapp.com/Ekklar7KJdx55hs1U6esUw?mode=wwc)”** subgroup to stay updated and connected. **(The link should finally work!)** The number of people who come varies from **a few to 10+**, but don't worry if you don't know anyone, **everyone is welcome**. You can also **bring your friends** of course! **Come try it out, meet new people, and take your first step into the world of ice bathing!**

Hello there! We'd like to welcome you to our FREE Sahaja Yoga meditation meetings hosted by Wolfgang, Hamid, Anil, Shantanu & friends which take place in Vienna – 7pm Thursdays. With Sahaja Yoga Meditation we normally sit on chairs to achieve yoga, effortlessly & spontaneously. So there is no need for mats and no special clothing required. We are all volunteers of a Charity association and have many years of experience in offering free Sahaja Yoga Meditation classes. All across the globe, many are seeking new sources of energy. Meanwhile, the most transformative energy of all is hiding in plain sight, within us. It's natural, sustainable, and infinitely renewable. It's called inner kundalini energy. And everyone already has it — everyone!. It is often likened to an inner feminine or motherly energy which automatically knows about us and what is needed to help us restore balance and harmony within our subtle being. It works spontaneously, effortlessly, organically and cannot be paid for. The classes are designed to help those attending get into a genuine meditative state, which can be felt tangibly. It is quite effortless and spontaneous. The free classes feature introductory talks, video's, practical workshops and general question and answer opportunities, making them perfect for seekers trying to establish a state of yoga, and they are available across Vienna most evenings and throughout Austria. The idea is that you don't do yoga - you Achieve Yoga! Sahaja Yoga Meditation is a simple, time-honored technique. It helps those who enjoy it, reduce stress and increase wellness and health holistically. It brings better focus and helps people become more centered and better balanced. Anyone can do it. Founded by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, Sahaja Yoga Meditation is a world wide movement for peace and self awakening. All the meetings and classes are free of any charge. Each week we go through simple meditation techniques, often with guided meditations to help reduce stress and achieve the peace of true meditation. We share tips on how to help stay in balance during the day and how to meditate at home. The meditation is based on connecting with the inner chakras (energy centres) and balancing the subtle body. The tradition and aims of meditation are explained which in essence is to be in the present with no mental activity or thoughts about the past or the future. Occasionally there are 1 day retreats to help those interested, deepen their individual experience and hear advice and tips from those who have been practicing for some time. It’s ultimately all about getting into ‘thoughtless awareness’, a natural state of being. 10 Reasons to try-out Sahaja Yoga Meditation in Vienna in 2015 It’s easy. You don’t have to spend years living in the mountains to achieve enlightenment. You don’t have to give up anything or spend weeks in silence. You don’t have to learn mantras or wear special clothes or even try to clear my mind. The meditation simply happens spontaneously. The classes are easy and fun, and as long as you keep up your daily ten minutes of meditation you find you are able to achieve a deep and peaceful meditation on a regular basis. It’s free. You don’t pay for your meditation. There are no catches, and there are no hidden expenses. If you missed attending classes one week, it doesn’t matter. You just picked up the classes again when you could manage it. It is simply the generosity of spirit of other Sahaja Yoga meditation practitioners that allows Sahaja Yoga to be taught to whomever desires it, at no cost. You can see results. You feel relaxed and you feel a deep sense of calm. Now you can also feel your chakras (energy centres) and through the meditation techniques learnt along the way you can understand the vibrations of your own energy centres. If you feel unwell you meditate and use the techniques you’ve learnt to heal your chakras, and you can then feel the centres clearing, and as a consequence your health improves. It’s all-inclusive. All the major religions and their core teachings are acknowledged and respected in Sahaja Yoga. No one’s spiritual journey is right or wrong. And through meditation the wisdom of all the great gurus and saints is easily revealed and understood. In fact, you’ll find that since you’ve been meditating you’ll come to understand and appreciate the teachings of great teachers such as Lao Tse, Buddha and Mohammed. You’re your own boss. You meditate and introspect at your own pace. You don’t have to keep up with others, or feel pressured into doing things you’re not comfortable with. You are your own teacher, your own guru, your own master. This technique of meditation empowers you and enables you to help yourself. You don’t have to rely on anybody else. Of course, there are many people who practice Sahaja Yoga Meditation who can teach you a great deal about the yoga & meditation and its various techniques. However, all that you need is ultimately within you. It’s everywhere. Sahaja Yoga is practiced in almost every country in the world. So, no matter where you travel you can always locate a local Sahaja Yoga Meditation programme that you can attend. Whenever you get the chance, and no matter where you are, You try to link up with other Sahaja Yoga practitioners and enjoy a collective meditation. (Meditating with others is a much deeper and more powerful experience than meditating alone.) It’s portable. You don’t need to take anything with you to meditate: no mats, no potions, no special clothing or books. You can meditate anywhere – in a quiet room or on a noisy bus; at the beach or watching a movie. Thoughtless awareness (the state of meditation) is easy to achieve if you keep meditating daily, and it can be achieved in almost any situation. It makes sense. Everything you’ll learn will make sense. There is a lot of common sense in Sahaja Yogameditation, and even though not everything was known to you (for example, the chakras and their respective qualities), once you have a chance to learn more about the meditation, it feels very natural and comfortable. Everybody does it. When you begin a hobby or join a new group, you often find that there are particular types of people who are in the group with you. For example, some groups attract younger people, others older folk; some groups have a lot of people who are wealthy, or people who live in a certain part of town. In Sahaja Yoga you will find people from every walk of life, from every demographic – male and female, young and old, rich and poor, every shape, size and colour, with varying interests, languages and beliefs. You don’t have to be a certain type of person to do Sahaja Yoga meditation. It is one of those rarities: something for everybody. You feel good. Without fail, every time you sit down to meditate you feel better. Whether you manage to have a deep meditation or not makes no difference, and as a consequence your family and friends are reaping the benefits. So there you have it......ten reasons......

Hi everyone, On **Sunday, 4.01.2026,** I am planning a hike to the Rudolfswarte near Purkersdorf. We start in Purkersdorf bei Wien Sanatorium train stop and hike to Rudolfswarte and on to the wild boar enclosure near Deutschwald, where the wild boars are waiting to be petted and to Untertullnerbach train station. Here is the possibility to go home by train after a 10km hike. For people who want to hike more, we continue to the Hochramalpe and further to Purkersdorf near Vienna train station. So there are **two hiking options** of different lengths: 1\. Purkersdorf bei Wien Sanatorium train stop to Untertullnerbach station: Length of the tour: approx. 10km **Duration: approx. 3.5h** Altitude difference: approx. 350m up and 300m down 2\. Purkersdorf bei Wien Sanatorium train stop to Purkersdorf bei Wien train station: Length of the tour: approx. 19km **Duration: approx. 6.5h** Altitude difference: approx. 700m up and 700m down There are also **two possible meeting points**: 1. **Wien Westbahnhof at 8:45 a.m**. on the level of the platforms at the ticket machine next to the many seating areas and next to the InfoPoint of the ÖBB (see picture in the attachment) and leave together at 8:56 a.m. from platform 4. Since Purkersdorf Santorium is still in the Kernzone 100, a ticket of Wiener Linien (or the annual ticket of Wiener Linien) is sufficient for the outward journey. Everyone is responsible for the train ticket. 2\. Or directly at the start of the hike in Purkersdorf bei **Wien Sanatorium train stop at 9:12h platform 2**. Everyone has to bring their own food and drink (at least 1 liter), as we will not stop for a bite to eat. We take two to three breaks to rest and eat as needed. I will be waiting at Wien Westbahnhof. Some people from my other group will also join. I will contact everyone, who has registered, on Friday evening with a weather update. For sure it will become quite frosty on Sunday. My hikes and mountain hikes are free of charge and purely private joint leisure events. I am not a certified hiking or mountain guide. Participation is at your own responsibility and risk.

Reserve your place in our small, committed group – **max. 10 participants:** [click here to book your spot.](https://playfight.my-power.at/chooseyourinvestment/) **✨INFO & CONTACT✨** [contact@my-power.at,](http://contact@my-power.at,/) +43 68110779089 (Marco) **✨ IS THIS YOU? ✨** You keep **getting into the same arguments** with the people you love, again and again. You **hide** how you really feel, and it’s exhausting. You know there’s more inside you — more joy, more life — but you **hold it back.** And you **worry** that nothing will ever change. Discover how you can **stop surviving and start thriving.** You can learn to: * **Welcome all parts of you** * Respond to life in a thoughtful and **intentional way** * Let your **joy, creativity and talents** shine without shame and be appreciated by others. **Do you need this?** [Click here to book your spot.](https://playfight.my-power.at/chooseyourinvestment/) ✨**A DAY AT OUR IMMERSION**✨ Imagine waking up to the warm scent of wood. A fresh organic breakfast is waiting. You are not alone: you’re part of a small, committed group, who is learning to meet life with honesty and care. We gather in a circle. You arrive in your body, breathe, and let the nervous system soften. On the mats you meet yourself and others through Playfight, not to win but to listen. You remember what your body needs. Emotions become a resource, not a burden. You learn to meet your shadow with self-love, and your light as a gift to share. This is what we offer. **Do you want to be part?** [Click here to book your spot.](https://playfight.my-power.at/chooseyourinvestment/) **✨WELCOME HOME TO YOURSELF✨** We all have parts of ourselves we’d rather hide. Our fears, anger, shame – but also our brilliance, joy, and creativity. This creates well-known inner conflicts. What we repress doesn’t disappear: it shows up in our behaviours, relationships, and how we limit ourselves. * **The shadow side** is made of the parts of ourselves we don’t want to admit or even notice. When ignored, it rules us. When integrated, it becomes a source of strength. * **The light shadow** is the brilliance we repress because it feels “too much” – our radiance, creativity, vitality. By hiding it, we make ourselves smaller. In Playfight, we meet both our wounds and our strengths. We learn to stop fighting ourselves. Meet your shadow *and* your hidden light. Allow integration to happen and balance to emerge. **It’s time to feel *whole* again.** **Welcome all parts of you back home.** Facing your shadow doesn’t make you darker: it allows you to free your inner light. When you face what you’ve been avoiding, you can discover the strength, clarity, and balance that comes from integration. **Are you ready to meet yourself?** [Click here to book your spot.](https://playfight.my-power.at/chooseyourinvestment/) **✨THE JOURNEY WE DESIGNED FOR YOU – *Group Support & Individual Focus*✨** This immersion offers you **group exploration** and **personal coaching**: **– Playfight** – Step into an embodied space where you can meet your shadow and your light through direct, physical experience. **– Shadow/light work** – Go beyond words as you face the parts you usually hide, embrace your strengths, and discover your brilliance waiting to shine. **– Individual “Expand Your Light” Coaching Session** – Expand your experience through a personal session tailored to you – you can choose to have it before, during, or after the event, based on availability. Use it to prepare, find your focus or integrate – bring your insights into your daily life. **– Relational and embodied exercises** – You’ll explore honest, real connection with others, uncover hidden patterns, and gently cultivate self-love. 💡 *You don’t need any experience. Just curiosity, a willingness to play, and the courage to be real.* **Questions?** Talk to us: [contact@my-power.at](mailto:contact@my-power.at) **Are you ready to start this journey?** [Click here to book your spot.](https://playfight.my-power.at/chooseyourinvestment/) **✨SCHEDULE✨** **Arrival:** Jan 2, 17:00 **Opening Session:** Jan 2, 20:00 **Closing:** Jan 5, 17:00 **Daily activities:** 09:30 – 18:30 (with breaks) **Language:** English (basic) *Your presence supports group trust and allows deeper processes to unfold, while still leaving space for rest and self-care.

We mostly work in a circle as equals, learning to navigate moments of collective uncertainty with curiosity, and appreciating one another as mirrors for our patterns, shadows, and light. **✨ YOUR FACILITATION TEAM ✨** Hi, I’m **Marco Moriggi**, a Playfight facilitator and Lebens- und Sozialberater (Life Coach) in training. In my workshops, **vulnerability and strength go hand in hand**. Body-based connection goes beyond words. Self-responsibility is a pillar for community support.

Through mindful physical play and non-violent fighting, you reconnect with your inner child and discover your inner strength – instinct, boundaries, and wild side. You re-learn to listen to your body’s intelligence, and touch becomes again natural, innocent, and respectful – free from sexuality or romance. Whether you feel playful or unsure, confident or curious: all of you is welcome here.

Playfight becomes a mirror that reveals what words alone sometimes can’t reach – integrating body, emotions, and mind. What begins as play soon becomes a doorway to growth, empowerment, and real connection – with yourself, with others, and with life. Playfight helps you l**et go of old habits and practice new skills for everyday life.** In play, your body and mind wake up, open, and learn. **Step beyond your comfort zone** and into the sweet spot where growth begins. No experience needed – just a willingness to show up authentically. Spots are limited to 10 participants.

**No pressure, no plan—just new friends** ✨ Whether you’re visiting Vienna for the first time, recently relocated, or simply love connecting with curious people, this weekly meetup is the perfect way to share stories, make friends, and go explore, as a group, the magic that Vienna has to offer 🇦🇹 **What to expect?** • **Casual & hostless**: no formal host, no schedule: just show up, be yourself, meet fellow solo travellers & expats and decide as a group where you feel like going • **Central meeting point**: it is surrounded by cultural landmarks, cafes, and restaurants, making it a convenient and safe starting point. • **Open to everyone**: whether you are a local, an expat or just passing through for a few days, you are welcome to join. (English is the primary language, but feel free to switch of course) **How to talk with strangers?** (and create meaningful connections) To help you get started, I curated a little game of **[ridiculously good questions](https://www.pierrebonvalot.com/theblog?p=285a9711d7df80d5ac25dd4ef8fe5394&pm=c)** you can ask to break the ice, shift the conversation from dull to intriguing and fun, and eventually create meaningful connection quickly. I hope this helps! **The only things you need to do are…** • Leave a message in the comment section to let the others know that you will actually be there (I don’t want you to end up alone there :) • If you can’t make it anymore, no problem! But please update your RSVP to let the others know • Please be gentle and patient with each other. We all want to make good friends here. **Why join?** • Meet open-minded travellers and locals who are keen to connect, learn and have fun together. • Experience Vienna... as a group. • Be part of a global community that celebrates solo travelling and meaningful connections between foreign and locals. **How does it works?** 1\. Arrive at the meeting spot at the scheduled time\. 2\. Look for other joiners—friendly faces and curious explorers\. 3\. Introduce yourself\, connect with others\, and decide as a group where to go\. **When & where?** • Day: every Sunday • Time: 4:00 PM (meetup sometimes displays a different time zone: but it’s always 4pm local time) • Location: in front of the Mozart Monument inside the Burggarten **Hostless**: I am setting up the event for you all to meet, but I won't be there myself this time :) **Hi my names is Pierre** I created this Meetup group because I want to see more human connection happen in the real world. I feel many of us want this, but don't exactly know how to go about it. I hope this helps a little bit. I also work as a transformational coach: I help people who feel stuck in their life to reconnect with themselves, create real change and ultimately live more fulfilling lives. 🔗 bento.me/pierrebonvalot

Passing through downtown the route runs alongside Huntington Park baseball stadium, Nationwide Arena hockey stadium, near North Market (worth a stop if you enjoy markets with lots of tasty treats), within a few blocks of the state capitol, convention center, art museum, center of science and industry, several first-class hotels, and much more (see Points of Interest list below).

Sweating is optional - you set your pace, starting time, and touring agenda.

Have fun! ***This is a repeating event on the calendar***\*, but the date and time do not necessarily need to be what is posted. **If you are interested in riding with a group, then simply RSVP and leave a message in the comment section** giving the date and time you would like others to join you. If you are interested in riding by yourself or with your private group of friends, then simply do it.\* ***The mission of this format is to create a catalog*** *of free group tour routes available for CycleNuts to ride as a group, or solo, in an area spanning several states. **The goal is to get people out cycling** either in groups or solo. **The vision is a cycling community with resources** available for bike tours, bike talk, and a format for lives experienced at the speed of bike.*

It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Here is the secret of being positive and free: Thinking positively is not enough. You also have to get rid of the negative thinking. Your mind is like a garden. You can plant many beautiful flowers in it, but if you don't get rid of the weeds when you plant your flowers, the weeds will soon take over the whole garden. A positive thought is like a flower in your mental garden, and a negative thought is like a weed. You cannot expect to have a positive mindset if you continue to have negative thoughts dwelling and growing there. So, how do you get rid of the negative thoughts? That's what this Meetup is all about. Attend this local meeting and find out! The Meetup event will be led by a consultant who had helped many people live happier in life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics & Scientology life improvement center.

**History** [Blacklick Woods Metro Park](https://www.metroparks.net/parks-and-trails/blacklick-woods/), established in 1949, holds the distinction of being the first Columbus Metro Park. Its creation stemmed from a post-World War II push to preserve natural areas amid rapid suburban growth. The land, originally farmland and woodlots along Blacklick Creek, was acquired by the Columbus Metropolitan Park Board through donations and purchases. Early efforts focused on basic trail development and reforestation to combat erosion. The park's name derives from the creek, which early settlers called "Black Lick" due to its dark, mineral-rich waters. By the 1950s, it served as a model for the expanding Metro Parks system. In the 1960s, Blacklick Woods expanded significantly with additional land acquisitions, reaching over 600 acres. A golf course was added in 1964, one of the first public courses in the region, designed to generate revenue for park maintenance. Native American artifacts, including arrowheads from the Adena culture, were discovered during construction, highlighting the area's prehistoric use as hunting grounds. The park introduced interpretive programs to educate visitors on local ecology and history. Flood control measures along the creek became a priority after heavy rains caused damage. These developments solidified its role as a recreational hub. The 1970s and 1980s brought environmental awareness, leading to habitat restoration projects at Blacklick Woods. Invasive species were removed, and native wildflowers were planted in the meadows. A nature center opened in 1976, featuring exhibits on wetlands and forests. The park's slate-covered bridge, a remnant of 19th-century infrastructure, was preserved as a historic feature. Birdwatching gained popularity with the addition of observation decks. Community volunteers played a key role in trail maintenance and cleanups. During the 1990s, Blacklick Woods underwent major upgrades, including paved multi-use trails for biking and hiking. The Walter A. Tucker Nature Preserve, a 53-acre old-growth forest within the park, was dedicated in 1995 to protect rare beech-maple woodlands. Educational partnerships with local schools introduced field trips on topics like stream ecology. The golf course was renovated to improve playability while minimizing environmental impact. Annual events, such as the fall festival, drew thousands to celebrate the park's natural beauty. These enhancements balanced recreation with conservation. In the 21st century, Blacklick Woods has adapted to increasing visitation with sustainable practices. Solar panels were installed at facilities in the 2010s to reduce energy costs. The park now spans 643 acres, offering diverse habitats from wetlands to uplands. Recent initiatives include pollinator gardens and prescribed burns to maintain prairie areas. It remains a flagship for the Metro Parks, inspiring similar preservations system-wide. Ongoing archaeological surveys continue to uncover traces of early inhabitants. **Map of the Park** Here is a [map of Blacklick Woods](https://www.metroparks.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/BLK-map-May-2025-with-extended-greenway_1980px.jpg). **Summary** For this event, we will hike about 4.5 miles by doing a couple loops of the Buttonbush, Tucker, Maple Loop, and Beech trails. Blacklick Woods is a very nice park, but it is generally flat and not strenuous, so this will be one of the easier hikes that we do. **Where We'll Meet** Drive all the way to the back of the park to the parking lot that is nearest the Nature Center. There are restrooms here next to the Canopy Walk. We'll meet near these restrooms. Speaking of the [Canopy Walk](https://www.metroparks.net/blog/canopy-walk-is-your-gateway-to-the-sky/), it's not officially part of the event this time. However, if interested people want to freelance and check it out after the hike (before heading to the brewery), that's okay. **After the Hike** After we're done with the trails, we'll head to [Prost Beer & Wine Café](https://prostcafe.com/) for drinks and [food](https://prostcafe.com/reynoldsburg-prost-beer-and-wine-cafe-food-menu). The actual address of the brewery is [7354 E Main St, Reynoldsburg, OH 43068](https://www.google.com/maps/place/7354+E+Main+St,+Reynoldsburg,+OH+43068/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x8838648cfb8d2dbb:0x545274bab130e9bb?sa=X&ved=1t:242&ictx=111), and we should be there by 5:00 if you just want to do that and skip the hike.

It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went? Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence? Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.
