SUMMARY:Sufi Vortrag\, Konzert & Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Sufis\, auch bekannt als islamische Mystiker\, nutzen Musik und Tanz\, um transzendentale Erfahrungen zu ermöglichen. Die Sehnsucht der Seele nach Vereinigung mit der unsterblichen Herkunft bildet das Fundament ihrer Praxis. Trance ist für Sufis der natürliche Zustand des/der in Liebe versunkenen und verlorenen Reisenden\, auch Salik genannt. \nAn diesem Abend beginnen wir mit einem Impulsvortrag von Gerald Ilyas Klawatsch\, von der Bengüsu-Gield-Gemeinschaft\, zur Philosophie des Sufismus. Anschließend führt uns das Ak-Pirim Ensemble mit einem Konzert in die Praxis ein und bietet allen Interessierten die Möglichkeit\, den Sema-Drehtanz auszuprobieren. \nDie Bengüsu-Gield ging 2017 aus dem ´Zentrum für Ethnotherapie´ (gegründet 2008) hervor und ist eine internationale Vereinigung für Sufismus\, traditionelle Kunst und Therapie\, Sufi-Musik\, Sema und traditionelle orientalische Musiktherapie. https://bengusu.com/ \nTüren offen: 18:00 // Beginn: 18:30\nEintritt 10€* (Für Mitglieder 5€. Werde ein Mitglied: https://ko-fi.com/psychedelicsocietyvienna)\nCash only // Spenden sind willkommen\nSagedergasse 18\, 1120 Vienna (Zwischen Billa and Bipa) (Nicht Barrierefrei)\nDer Vortrag wird auf Deutsch abgehalten \nBleibt gerne danach noch\, um die Atmosphäre zu genießen\, euch an der Bar zu erfrischen und mit Gleichgesinnten auszutauschen. \n//Über\nGerald Ilyas Klawatsch ist traditioneller orientalischer Musiktherapeut and vertritt 6 Tarikat- Orden (Linen) des Sufismus. Er verbrachte 23 Jahre in der Gefolgschaft von Meister Dr. Rahmi Oruc Güvenc. Ilyas pflegt einen undogmatischen\, freien und toleranten Zugang zum Sufismus und versucht trotzdem den Prinzipien des islamischen Sufismus\, treu zu bleiben. \n//\nWe do not provide any illegal substances nor do we allow for the distribution or consumption on our events. Also we do not recommend taking high-doses of psychedelics outside of a professional and legal context. There are substantial risks associated with such uses. Our only concern is to provide high quality information and safety guidelines about psychedelic substances.

SUMMARY:Explorations of a Psychonaut - Hyperspaceboarding
DESCRIPTION:Next to shamanic healing practices or psychotherapeutic uses of psychedelic substances\, there was always the realm of consciousness exploration and metaphysical inquiry into the nature of reality. \nThis quest brings forth certain individuals who venture deeper than the rest of us\, and bring back great tales of discovery that transcend our ordinary conception of space and time. \nY van Luc’s spiritual journey spans almost 30 years of high-dose exploration\, where he originated a concept called Hyperspaceboarding© ф\, which can be understood as a distinctive path of self-discovery and transpersonal growth culminating in the realization of the Hyperspace Ultra-Light-Drive Space Ship© ф. This talk will delve into its origins\, and development\, along with practical steps for conducting such sessions and operating them. This endeavor required decades of intensive psychedelic sessions and careful preparations. We do not recommend anyone try this on their own. \nY van Luc postulates that our brain is a reality-generating mechanism and suggests that we are in need of a reality-upgrade to enter a “post-space age”. During and after the talk there will be plenty of time to discuss the ideas presented. \nAs always you can stay afterward and make yourself comfortable\, get some drinks/snacks\, and connect to some like-minded people. \nDoors open: 18:30 // Start: 19:00\nEntry 6€ (Members free; become a member: ko-fi.com/psychedelicsocietyvienna )\nDonations welcome // Cash only\nSagedergasse 18\, 1120 Vienna (Entrance is in-between Billa and Bipa) / The venue is sadly not barrier-free \n//About\nY van Luc holds master’s degrees in population genetics\, cognitive sciences\, and physics\, contributing to international patents on nanosurfaces pioneering Lab-on-chip PCR technology\, while currently teaching physics and math. His spiritual journey spans six years of mountain shaman training and active practice in the psychotropic wheel since 2000. He explores psychedelic realms as the originator of UFO-Werdung since 1996 and as the Architect & Engineer of Hyperspaceboarding© ф. Furthermore\, he is currently preparing an MRI study on high-dose psychedelics. \n//\nWe do not provide any illegal substances nor do we allow for the distribution or consumption on our events. Also we do not recommend taking high-doses of psychedelics outside of a professional and legal context. There are substantial risks associated with such uses. Our only concern is to provide high quality information and safety guidelines about psychedelic substances.\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/psychedelicsocietyvienna/\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/psychedelicsocietyat/\nTelegram: t.me/psychedelicsocietyvienna

SUMMARY:Psychedelics & Compassion
DESCRIPTION:This talk with workshop elements will explore psychedelics from the perspective of compassion and social behavior and shed light on the potential synergies between psychedelics and compassion-based interventions. I’ll present some of the recent research findings in this area\, make the basic concepts understandable\, and offer simple contemplative practices for the cultivation of compassion. There will also be plenty of time for your questions and discussion. \n“Unconditional self-acceptance and the deep sense of connection that are felt during a [psychedelic-induced] mystical experience could provoke the psychological insights that patterns of avoidance and critical self-judgments are dysfunctional and that suffering\, being imperfect\, making mistakes and encountering life difficulties are part of the shared human experience”. (Baptiste Fauvel et al. 2023) \nModern competitive society has led to an individualized sense of self and self-centered attention\, which comes with social comparisons that generate envy and shame\, relentless striving for more and better\, and self-criticism in the face of failure. As a result\, many people today suffer from mental health problems such as self-rumination\, shame\, depression and anxiety that make it difficult to access feelings of self-worth\, self-love\, self-acceptance and self-compassion. Experiences of social safety and connectedness – whether induced by psychedelics and/or compassion-based interventions – can help shift from a competitive to a caring mindset with an increased sense of social safety\, compassionate motivation\, and prosocial behavior.  \nThis shift from a threat-sensitive\, competitive and self-centered mindset towards a safety-sensitive\, collaborative and caring mindset is the primary goal of compassion-based interventions. Recent research suggests that psychedelics could be used as adjuncts to these interventions because they induce direct experience of relevant brain states\, including decreased self-rumination and experiential avoidance as well as increased empathy\, positive emotions\, psychological flexibility and connectedness. Research also shows that an increase in self-compassion is one of the central factors in determining the therapeutic outcomes of psychedelics and that compassion-based interventions can therefore help to get the best results from psychedelic experiences. \nAbout: Mag. Dennis Johnson (www.dennis-johnson.com) is a certified teacher of mindfulness\, self-compassion and positive neuroplasticity and a university lecturer in a master’s program in mindfulness. He has an academic background in Tibetan and Buddhist Studies and has previously worked as a librarian\, translator\, editor and interpreter. His clinical background is based on propaedeutic training in psychotherapy and includes sociotherapeutic work with people in mental health crisis as well as a clinical research internship at the Oxford Mindfulness Centre. Dennis has extensively explored altered states of consciousness through meditation retreats\, plant medicines and holotropic breathwork\, and has been a board member of the European Transpersonal Association and the Consciousness Studies Academy Vienna. \n⭐️Door opens: 19:00\, talk starts at 19:30 \n⭐️Location: Sagedergasse 18\, 1120 Vienna (Entry is in-between Billa and Bipa) \n⭐️Entry 5€* / Members free *(if money is the only reason you can not come\, talk to us and we will find a way) \n// We do not provide any illegal substances nor do we allow for the distribution or consumption on our events.

SUMMARY:Breathwork Session
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to announce our first official workshop on the 30th of November\, which offers hands-on experience in contrast to our more intellectual talks. \nIn addition to psychedelic substances\, there are many ways of altering your brain chemistry to induce an expanded state of consciousness. One of the most powerful and accessible means is breathwork. \nIn this workshop\, you will be guided through a one-hour breathing session accompanied by evocative music. We will use connected and cyclical deep breathing\, which puts the nervous system in an alert state and leads to a heightened awareness of your body and emotions. This can result in a meditative experience\, lead to a blissful state\, or bring up repressed and buried emotions. By allowing yourself to feel everything that wants to come up while simultaneously staying with the breath\, you can dissolve emotional blockages and free yourself of habitual thought patterns. (Please read the contra-indications below) \nFollowing the breathing session\, we will gather and allow everyone to share their experiences within a safe space. This fosters a deeper connection among the participants and supports the process of integration. \nThe evening will be held in English unless everyone understands German. \nDoors open: 18:30 / Start 19:00\nDuration approx. 1\,5h\nPrice: 15€* (12€ for PSV members)\nBecome a member: ko-fi.com/psychedelicsocietyvienna \nRAUM ( https://raum.cc/)\nHollandstraße 7\n1020 Wien \nRegistration is required. Please send an e-mail including your full name and mobile number to phil@psychedelicsociety.at\nMax. 14 participants \n//About\nPhilip Schönhofer\, Assistant Chairman of the PSV\, holds a B.Sc. in Psychology and is an integrative Breathwork instructor in training with Atman ( https://www.atman.at/). \n//WARNING:\nThis workshop is not a therapy session and is not meant to be a substitute for it. If you live with a serious mental health or other medical condition like high blood pressure\, epilepsy or asthma\, please talk to your healthcare provider or therapist before engaging in a breathwork session. \n*If your financial situation is the only reason you cannot come\, contact us and we will find a solution

SUMMARY:The Metaphysical Body
DESCRIPTION:What does dance have to do with altered states of consciousness? \nThe human body is the vehicle for expressing ourselves in this world\, used in a spontaneous way it can induce a flow state\, free us of our overthinking mind\, and expand our state of consciousness. Matan Levkowich\, founder of the Movement Lab\, will join us on November 18th to explore the potential of dance and bodily awareness as a gateway to another state of being\, where body and mind are unified and whole. \nThis evening will begin with a dance performance to give us a taste of what expressive movement is all about\, followed by a more cognitive perspective\, as Matan will be holding a presentation\, weaving together the connection between contemporary dance and changes in the perception of reality. To close we will get the opportunity to participate in a (optional) guided dance experience and embody the exploration of the previously shared concepts on a physical level. Once the cycle closes\, our space will remain open for you to stay\, make yourselves at home\, enjoy some tee and snacks\, and connect to like-minded people. \nWe are looking forward to immersing ourselves in the world of movement and flow. \nMuch love your PSV \n✨When? 18th of November 2023 | Doors open 18:00 / Start 18:30 (the duration of the Presentation will be approximately 90min)\n✨Where?
