POETRY IN BUSINESS
NEWS & HIGHLIGHTS

Oh May!

​​And rainbows are
The shadows of your eyes,
And the silver singing
Of bees in the rain
Is my happiness.

from "The Picnic", by Joyce Kilmer

Fluid Horizons - or fluid learning - make anything possible in May. Come and discover the Garden, a visionary and soulful space where your time is turned into possibilities. Together, we explore what it means to be (and lead) human(s) today. You'll get curated inspirational input from the arts. 

In our upcoming wellbeing session, we want to celebrate life. Nature and poetry will serve us as a source of inspiration; medical qigong movements will ground us. So that our words can flow naturally.

 

Come as you are and join us for a mindful poetic picnic, let's appreciate the magic that unfolds. “What is that?”, you may ask. Come, see and experience it!

Latest Highlights

Every Gift Is A Story

Stepping out of the Wien Museum at Karlsplatz, the cold, rainy December night embraces us. Yet we feel warm. Inspired. Lifted. This visit was different. Usually, we leave museums carrying stories with us. But this time, we brought stories to the museumGuided by poetry, we immersed ourselves in paintings, drawings, sculptures and objects. What did they whisper to us? What did we see, feel, think, imagine?

Four people, four stories — each one assembled like a jigsaw puzzle. 

Keeping Our Promise

Integrity to us means that we keep our promises, a professional contact explained to us. What is integrity for you? Christina Merl is going to discuss this burning question with participants of her inhouse TalkShop conversational format. Leaders who want to know how their people live organisational values and what they think and observe, can benefit from Telluz, a one-of-a-kind story listening tool."

Inner Stillness

More and more people tell me that they find it increasingly hard to find focus and inner peace. The other day, a young professional complained about being caught in the hamster wheel. "I get up, start negotiating, and suddenly it's lunchtime and I find myself eating some unhealthy snack." In our annual retreat, we learn how we can regulate and steer the energy flow in our body and benefit from inner stillness.

We made it!

We have asked a Jury of 6 independent international experts to select the cover image of this year's Poetry in Business Advent Calendar. This year's theme is "World Theatre" or "Welttheater". Young African media design students submitted their artworks and the Jury decided for Tshenolo Sebole's variation of the advent theme. We are so happy that the project is supported by crowdfunding!

Wellbeing Coach

We are delighted to share that Christina Merl has officially become a Certified Wellbeing Coach through the British School of Coaching. "Supporting people in finding clarity and focus, as well as creating real-world impact has always been at the heart of what I do", Christina says. She is looking forward to bringing this energy to the Annual Wellbeing Retreat at Stift Gurk this autumn. Book your Early Bird Tickets! 

Wellbeing 2025

Museums can engage the sensorium - sight, touch, sound, and even memory, thereby shaping how visitors feel and connect. In our "Wellbeing at the Museum" workshop series at Künstlerhaus Wien we target people who want to cultivate the art of being human, broaden their horizons, change perspective, and have fun. We foster mindfulness, reflection, and a deeper sense of belonging. Join us!
