Intersein Sangha Wien

Mindfulness practice here has a distinctly communal frame: Intersein Sangha Wien is connected with the Order of Interbeing and the Community of Mindful Living, within the Mahayana Zen tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh. Its meeting place is a psychotherapy and preventive-development practice at Erdbergstraße 88/19 in Vienna, rather than a retreat campus. That makes it a city-based sangha for people who want to encounter contemplative practice in an ordinary urban setting, with no residential stay implied. The group runs by donation, so participation is not tied to a fixed fee. Before visiting, confirm meeting dates, session format, language, and whether newcomers should contact a host first. Think of it as a local practice community, not a packaged retreat with a published daily timetable.

Setting

The sangha meets at a psychotherapy and preventive-development practice in Vienna. It is an urban gathering place rather than a retreat campus with grounds or residential facilities.

The practice

The sangha is linked to Thich Nhat Hanh’s Mahayana Zen approach, which emphasizes mindful awareness in meditation and everyday life. Newcomers can expect a community-oriented practice rather than a residential retreat, though the precise format of each gathering should be confirmed with the group. Ask the host what to expect at your first session.

A typical day

Daily structure varies by gathering; this is a local sangha rather than a residential retreat with a set day plan. Confirm the meeting time and session format with the group before attending.

Accommodation

This is a local practice group, not a residential retreat setting. Arrange lodging independently if you are visiting from outside Vienna.

What to bring

Comfortable clothes for sitting and walking are sensible; ask whether mats or cushions are provided. Vienna has distinct seasons, so bring layers and a rain jacket when the forecast calls for them.
