February ’s Theme is Touch

Across the years when we had to stay apart to keep one another safe, skin hungered for the sensation of being pressed against another. The longing for touch was deeply felt.

Unlike sight or sound, the senses we primarily rely on for information, touch cannot be conveyed across distance through screens and speakers. Touch invites us to slow down, pay attention, and come closer.

When we open ourselves to the ineffable — what cannot be transmitted through words — touch emerges as a language unto itself. The grit of the soil under our bare feet, the clay slip enrobing a potter’s wheel, the sun-warmed fur of a beloved pet — these sensations can be healing.

How will you stay in contact with the electric matter that keeps us alive? What will pass through your hands today?Our Lisbon chapter chose this month’s exploration of Touch and Emma Lopes illustrated the theme.

LOU PA about ABUNDANCE

Lou Pa is a Vienna based Indie Pop Band founded by the musicians Bettina Eckert, Elisabeth Laa and Katrin Detter.

Gentle vocals flow delicately with profound lyrics and combine to form a musical work of art - the three musicians find their own language in their compositions made of synth and acoustics and let us go on musical journeys with them.
Since 2019 the three front woman were joined by  the three musicians Thomas Böck, Raphael Rameis and David Dolezel.

Together they have managed to refine the sound and arrangements - without giving up their own style.

On November 18th 2022 they released their first EP “Little Space” with the Indie Label Blank Spots Records .

We invite you to let  the ABUNDANCE of their music take you on at our special Creative Mornings Session on December 16th 2022 - 8:30 a.m.

If Dogs Run Free is a neighborhood bar in the 6th district of Vienna, that serves great cocktails and longdrinks.

The dark interior is well designed, with the ceiling being covered with upside-down peaks, inspired by a mountain landscape. The name, like the space itself, is meant to invite fantasy. The bar is owned by architects Chieh-shu Tzou and Gregorio Lubroth, graphic designer Maria Prieto Barea, an actress and a restaurateur, who teamed up to design, build and launch the bar themselves.

December ’s Theme is Abundance.

Abundance is a state of plenty. In an intensely competitive society, we often feel like we have the opposite. Capitalism breeds a mentality of scarcity — it’s hard to feel like we have enough when we’re constantly trying to accumulate more. Gratitude magnifies our experience of abundance. When we marvel at the taste of ripe summer fruit, juice bursting from its skin. When we set a table, a seat for every person we cherish, and bathe in the radiance. Generosity multiplies abundance. When we prioritize mutual flourishing over private stockpiling, plant ecologist Robin Wall Kimmerer posits, “the practice for dealing with abundance is to give it away.” Once you stop hoarding what you fear to lose, you find that the more you share, the richer — in community, in wellbeing — you become. What would it take for us to feel like we have enough? What does it take for us to unclench our fists and share our overflowing bounty?

Our Santa Fe chapter chose this month’s exploration of Abundance, Neebinnaukzhik Southall illustrated the theme, and Mailchimp is presenting the theme.

November ’s Theme is Truth.

Truth lies at the bottom of a well, winding from its source in the icepack of distant mountains. Truth tastes pristine, uncompromised by what would be profitable or convenient. Truth causes your body to hum like a tuning fork, resonating at the same frequency as the universe around you. “When you experience an undeniable truth,” writer and social worker Jessica Dore observes, “you will beg, borrow, and steal. You will rearrange your whole life, forsake everything, just to serve what is real.”

And yet the truth is fiercely contested when competing narratives collide. We forge our truth in a crucible, testing its strength through heat and hammering. Instead of smashing our convictions against one another like a particle accelerator, could we sort through the messy, contradicting facts from all around us, together? Can we wade through paradox, the dark tangle of it all, and make sense of the world?

Our Buenos Aires chapter chose this month’s exploration of Truth and Sol Cotti illustrated the theme.

at SUPERBUDE Vienna

We are especially happy to host CreativeMornings on 28.10. in one of the hippest locations in Vienna. Superbude is definitely the coolest hotel in Vienna. Whether in a double room, four-bed room or in one of our themed rooms (Disco room, Game City room, Austropop room & Cinema room), that is entirely up to you! It gets difficult when you have to decide between the 17 different rooms. Located in the vibrant Stuwerviertel, directly at the wonderful Prater Superbude Vienna opened their doors in summer 2021 – combining hostel vibes with hotel comfort and home feeling.

October ’s Theme is Ethos.

Ethos is that specific quality that defines a place, time, or group of people. When you step into a room, a busy downtown, or a community gathering, you intuit its spirit. A messy DIY space invites experimentation and mistakes, a lush city park promises tranquility to anyone who seeks it. Maybe you even know of a monthly event where everyone is welcome and everything is free of charge. 

At its core is a paradox: despite the specificity of an ethos, it’s impossible to pinpoint or trace to a specific origin. What honed that distinctive sensibility is long gone, vanished into myth. 

With our actions and words, we embody these values and beliefs beyond conscious knowing. In turn, we subtly shape the ethos that our descendants — of family, of place — will receive from us. Ethos is alchemic, ineffable, and infinitely ponderable across place and culture. What ways of moving through the world did you inherit?

Our Asheville chapter chose this month’s exploration of Ethos and Colin Sutherland illustrated the theme.
