🌿 About This Group
Let's be honest. Vienna doesn't exactly suffer from a shortage of workshops, webinars, networking events or PowerPoint presentations.
What seems harder to find is a place where people can have genuine conversations, challenge their thinking, exchange experiences and walk away with something more valuable than another business card, a handful of inspirational quotes or the tenth reminder to stand in front of a mirror and tell yourself you're a magnet for success.
That's part of why we created The Human Side Of Change.
Because whether you're running a company, managing a team, building a business, working a nine-to-five or simply trying to make sense of your own patterns, there's one thing we all have in common:
We're human. And being human can be surprisingly complicated.
The mind won't stop. The shoulders won't drop. We understand exactly what we should be doing differently, yet somehow find ourselves repeating the same behaviours
on Monday morning.
The Human Side Of Change brings together people who are curious about what happens beneath the surface: the thoughts, beliefs, emotions, physical responses and
everyday habits that shape how we live, work and relate to others.
We're Mirabella and Anja.
Mirabella focuses on the mind: subconscious patterns, beliefs, inner dialogue and how they influence the way we think, feel and respond to the world.
Anja focuses on the body: breathing, tension, body awareness and natural approaches to everyday wellbeing.
Together, we bring both perspectives into the conversation. Because understanding why you do something is one thing. Actually changing it is another.
And no, you won't need to sit through a 47-slide presentation to find out how.
👥 Who Is This Group For?
Anyone with a body, a mind and a little curiosity. Seriously.
You might be an entrepreneur juggling seventeen responsibilities, a CEO wondering why switching off feels impossible, a manager navigating constant change, or an employee who's had enough of bringing work home in their head.
You might also have absolutely nothing to do with the corporate world.
You're equally welcome.
This group is for people who:
- enjoy honest conversations and exchanging different perspectives
- are curious about human behaviour, subconscious patterns and the mind-body connection
- want practical experiences rather than endless theories
- are interested in resilience, self-awareness and personal development
- believe that professional success and personal wellbeing shouldn't have to compete
- appreciate meeting interesting people without the pressure of traditional networking
No titles to impress anyone with. No need to have your life figured out.
💬 What Actually Happens Here?
Not every gathering will look the same. And that's intentional.
Some evenings are about conversations, shared experiences and fresh perspectives.
Others are interactive, practical and designed to help you experience something
rather than just hear about it.
Expect topics like:
- subconscious patterns, beliefs and behaviour
- stress, resilience, confidence and boundaries
- leadership, change and personal development
- breathing, body awareness and natural wellbeing
- practical techniques and reflection
Some events will be free, others will be paid.
We'll host relaxed community gatherings, themed discussions, practical workshops and more in-depth experiences. Some are simply opportunities to connect; others offer structured guidance and the chance to explore a specific topic further.
That's how we want to grow this community: through genuine connection, shared knowledge and experiences worth showing up for.
And sometimes, a good conversation "over a drink" is exactly what the evening needs.
No pretending personal growth comes with a one-size-fits-all instruction manual.
Just genuine exchange.
🧠 The Thinking Behind It
We draw on Sophrology, naturopathic wellbeing, body awareness, Kinesiology,
NLP, EFT and elements of hypnosis.
We're not here to promote one particular method. We're here to explore questions like:
- Patterns: Why do we repeat behaviours we already understand?
- Mind & Body: Why does the body sometimes react before the mind catches up?
- Leadership & Boundaries: Why can we manage fifty people but struggle to say no?
- Change: Why is knowing what needs to change so different from actually changing it?
Different approaches. Different perspectives. No need to agree on everything. After all, a little thoughtful disagreement makes for a much more interesting evening.
✨ A Few Ground Rules
What is shared here, stays here.
People may share personal experiences, professional challenges or things they don't usually talk about. Treat those conversations with respect and discretion.
Participation is always your choice.
You decide how much you share and which exercises you participate in. Watching, listening and asking questions are all perfectly valid ways to take part.
Leave your job title at the door.
Whether you're an intern, a founder or a managing director, nobody gets extra points for having a more impressive LinkedIn profile.
We're not here to fix anyone.
Our gatherings are educational, conversational and experiential. They are not a substitute for medical care, psychotherapy or psychiatric treatment.
🍻Over 600 Members…
…AND plenty of perspectives.Let's Actually Meet.
Now let's turn those memberships into conversations, connections and
shared experiences.
Join for the people, the knowledge, the practical experiences or simply a different kind
of evening in Vienna.
No forced networking. No recycled motivational clichés. Just real people exploring
what makes us human.
See you there!

Let's Make X-Mas Personal - A Gift-Making Workshop
Studio Belvedere, Landstrasser Gürtel 23/4, Wien, ATLess shopping, more creating. A more thoughtful approach to giving.
When did Christmas gifts become more about what we spend than the thought we put into them?
Between shopping lists, crowded stores, and the search for the perfect present, it's easy to forget what giving is really about.
Sometimes, the most meaningful gifts aren't the expensive ones. They're the ones someone took the time to make, with a particular person in mind.And that's exactly what this workshop is about.
Join us for a cheerful, hands-on afternoon of making thoughtful Christmas gifts, enjoying good company, and taking a little time away from the December rush.
🎁 What will we make?
Three creative stations, and everyone gets to try them all!
🕯️ Handmade Candles
Pour and personalise your own candles, bringing a little warmth and light to someone's winter evenings.🌿 Aromatic Roll-Ons
Create aromatic blends inspired by relaxation, unwinding, and peaceful evening routines.🛁 Botanical Bath Salts
Mix two different bath salt recipes with selected ingredients and botanicals, then fill your own jars to take home.✨ How does it work?
We'll rotate through the three stations in small groups, with guidance at every step.No previous experience needed!
This afternoon isn't about perfection or making as many gifts as possible.
It's about getting creative, sharing a laugh, and putting a little thought and care into something for the people around you.
Come on your own or sign up together with someone you'd love to share the experience with.💌 Booking & Payment
