A feast for your eyes: Come explore these vineyards and corn fields, which are Vienna's equivalent of Sonoma Valley. After conveniently meeting up at Vienna Main Station (Wien Hauptbahnhof), we'll first cross through a trendy neighbourhood, leaving urban Vienna and then walk up to a point from where you can see, weather permitting, as far as to the Lower Carpathians. After getting lost in the nearby vineyards, we then venture further downhill until reaching a tree-lined creek. Following the waves, we eventually reach a small village in Lower Austria province, from where a quick train ride will take us back to Vienna Main Station. Underway we'll have fun with ice breakers, discussion prompts and local trivia. Total time: \~3½ hours Language: English To secure your spots, please ... Step 1: RSVP here on Meetup first (optional but recommended) Step 2: Complete your booking at https://vienna.ixpat.com/vineyards

### A Contemplative Retreat for Inner Peace and Strength in a Demanding Life ### As one year quietly fades… and another gently approaches… there’s often a subtle pull inside. A sense… that we don’t want to fall back into the same old rhythms, the familiar patterns, the expectations that no longer feel alive. Something in us wants to begin differently — more consciously, more meaningfully. And for many of us, after years of building, achieving, and doing everything we once hoped for… another question begins to whisper underneath it all: **What truly matters now?** When the striving softens, and the world finally grows quiet… a deeper longing rises. Not for more to accomplish. Not for more to manage. But for something real. Something that feels like truth. **The Inner Pilgrimage** is for these exact moments — when freedom feels strangely heavy, when the old tools no longer bring clarity, when the next step is no longer outward… but inward. It isn’t about resolutions. It isn’t about goals. It isn’t about pushing harder. It’s about listening again. It’s about coming home to yourself before the year unfolds. It’s about giving yourself a gentle, meaningful inner boost — so you can begin 2026 grounded, clear, aligned… and quietly connected to what truly matters. ### **Essence** In a world that constantly asks for more — more effort, more speed, more responsibility — this weekend offers a simple invitation: Pause. Breathe. Come home. **The Inner Pilgrimage** is not a journey outward. It is a soft descent inward — into stillness, into presence, into the quiet clarity that has been waiting beneath the noise. You won’t be traveling far. But you may return changed. This is a space to rest. To listen. To rediscover the strength and peace within you that daily life so easily consumes. > The most meaningful journeys are not those that take us far away, > but those that bring us deeply home. ## **Program Overview** The morning begins slowly. A settling. A gentle arriving into your body, your breath, your presence. * A welcome into stillness * A quiet talk: *What does it mean to walk a pilgrimage of the soul?* * Guided inner reflection: *Where am I on my path right now* * Time for journaling, sensing, or resting * A soft morning of wordless presence — a Vigil of Stillness Short lunch break, softened… opened… ready for a different kind of listening. ### The afternoon continues in quiet. Not with effort, but with ease. * A meditation * A talk: *Coming home — living from what you discovered* * A gentle dialogue circle or short reflective moments * Tea shared in silence * Time for integration, writing, or contemplation * A symbolic closing ritual * Ending the day in silence, presence, and gratitude You return to your life not with pressure, but with clarity… with strength… with a renewed sense of direction from within. ### **Atmosphere** Soft. Unhurried. Warm. Human. A space where silence isn’t empty — it’s full of something deeper. A space where you don’t have to perform, pretend, or hold yourself together. Just be. As you are. Light, healthy snacks will be offered as a small act of *mindful feasting* — simple, nourishing, grounding. Nothing loud. Nothing forced. Just presence, warmth, and the quiet company of others walking their own inner path. ### **Good to Know** **Date:** Sunday, Jan 18th, 2026 **Time:** 09:30 am–5:00 pm **Location:** Vienna **Language:** English **Facilitator:** Dieter Langenecker – Modern Elder & Meaning Counselor **What to bring:** Comfortable clothing, journal or notebook, an open heart **Refreshments:** Light snacks and tea provided (breaks in silence) **Contribution** Participation in *The Inner Pilgrimage* is offered on a **trust and appreciation basis**. Rather than a fixed fee, you are invited to choose the contribution that feels right for you — one that honours both your current situation and the value you receive from the experience. As a gentle orientation: * **€ 30** · *Supported rate* – for those who currently need to care for their budget * **€ 45** · *Standard rate* – the regular contribution that sustains the event * **€ 75** · *Supportive rate* – for those who wish to help make the retreat accessible to others All contributions include guidance throughout the weekend, reflection materials, and mindful snacks and tea prepared in a spirit of simple *feasting*. (includes drinks, tea, coffee, and healthy cookies) Spots are limited to keep the space quiet and personal. **Dieter Langenecker** Modern Elder · Meaning Counselor [www.langenecker.com](https://www.langenecker.com "https://www.langenecker.com") **Watch this short video:** [https://youtu.be/oDIeSXdBhSo](https://youtu.be/oDIeSXdBhSo)

Hi everyone! On **Sunday, January 18, 2026**, I am planning a beautiful winter hike from Mödling to Gumpoldskirchen. We will pass the Burgruine Mödling (Mödling Castle ruins), the Husarentempel (Temple of the Hussars: a classicist temple on a hilltop) and the Kaiser-Jubiläumswarte at Eschenkogel (Emperor's Jubilee Observation Tower). **Meeting Point & Travel** 🚉 We will **meet at Praterstern station at 08:15 a.m.** near the ticket machines on the ground floor close to the exit to platform 1 and 2. The train S2 leaves at 08:30 a.m. (presumably Platform 1). Please arrive a few minutes early so we can gather. We expect to arrive in Mödling at 09:05. There are regular trains back to Vienna approx. every 30minutes from Gumpoldskirchen. **Please buy your own ticket on the day in advance**, its € 2,90 each direction so € 5,80 in total if you have already a valid ticket for Vienna. **Hike Details** 🥾 Duration: Approx. 4.5 hours (pure walking time) Distance: Approx. 14.2 km Elevation: 588m up / 583m down Difficulty: Easy (technically), but requires basic fitness. Pace: We’ll walk at a comfortable, social pace and take short breaks as needed. More information on the trail: [https://www.niederoesterreich.at/a-die-tuerme-des-wienerwaldes-rundkurs-tages-etappe-1](https://www.niederoesterreich.at/a-die-tuerme-des-wienerwaldes-rundkurs-tages-etappe-1) **⚠️ Important Information** I will send a weather update to everyone registered on Friday evening. 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 covered by snow, muddy or slightly icy, depending on the weather. Disclaimer: 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 seeing you for this winter hike! Jörg PS: Some people from another group will also join.

We know that meeting new people in Vienna’s Meetup scene can feel a bit repetitive. While different hosts and formats exist, you often end up seeing the same faces. That’s why we’re shaking things up! We’ve teamed up with The Golden Harp 1090 and Luki’s Pub Quiz to bring you an exciting new Board Game Night - one that goes beyond Meetup and expands your social circle even further! 📅 Every Sunday, 4-9PM but you can stay and play until the restaurant closes. 📍 The Golden Harp Alsergrund (Alserbachstraße 37, 1090 Wien). Join us for an evening of fun, laughter, and great company. Whether you’re a board game enthusiast or just looking to meet new people in a relaxed setting, this is the perfect event for you! Plus, you can order delicious food and drinks right at the venue while you play. Come for the games, stay for the connections, and make Vienna feel even more like home. See you there! Please note that this free event is made possible through the generous support of the restaurant. In order to maintain a strong partnership and continue offering events like this at no cost, we kindly ask that all attendees support the venue by placing an order during their visit. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
