Vienna
Linke Wienzeile 102, 1060 Wien
Vienna Pride is approaching! Pride is not only a big party celebrating love and diversity. It’s also about connecting with others and being accepted as we are: with our bodies, our origins, our personalities, and our cultures. What happens in our body and mind when we build social connections? In contrast, how is social pain embodied and experienced? In this 45-minute mini-workshop, we will explore the physiological benefits of social connection and how trust and empathy support a felt sense of belonging to a community. We will also look at simple tools for navigating social pain. Through a fusion of science, mindfulness, and interactive activities, we will discover practical ways to build bridges – within ourselves and with others. The Mindful BAse x Villa Vida Where science meets mindfulness – for awareness, connection, and community. At The Mindful BAse, we believe that mindfulness is not only a personal practice, but also a powerful way to strengthen relationships, communities, and our connection with our environment. Founded in Vienna in 2025, our mission is simple: to bring people together, foster well-being, and cultivate a community rooted in awareness, kindness, compassion and respect. Through our collaboration with Villa Vida, we are excited to present a series of science-based mindfulness workshops designed to encourage meaningful dialogue, nurture learning and reflection for supporting the local queer community. We create spaces where ancient practices meet modern insights, offering sessions that combine yoga, meditation, neuroscience, communication tools in a safe, inclusive and inspiring space. Each workshop invites you to slow down, connect, and learn practical ways to care for yourself and others – grounded in both science and lived experience. 🌈 All identities, bodies, and levels of experience are welcome. https://themindfulbase.com https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-mindful-base https://www.instagram.com/the_mindful_base
