It is a must-visit place for everyone in ServiceSpace.

The ultimate ripple effect, because of a few love warriors and one army man who looked in the direction of oneness.
As three of us crossed the border, on this sunny day, we saw the watchtower and a memorial with photos from 1989.
A physical barrier of a border was dismantled. Still, removing the mental barriers will take time. In 2014, we hosted the first TedXPannonia on a boat. We started in Austria, and by the end of the night, we effortlessly glided into Hungary. People were in tears. All boundaries are just man-made. In the eyes of life, we are all ONE.
I'm so inspired by small acts of kindness, even if its impact is immeasurable. It shifts something in our collective consciousness, and then all of a sudden, it opens the door -- for someone else, some dreamer, somewhere else in existence who has the courage to think the impossible, to dissolve the border, and call out our innate oneness. That's how history is made.
Thank you, all, again and again and again. Since the first moment I came in contact with ServiceSpace, I've felt an unexplainable affinity. Just in the last two years, after two memorable visits to India and three of Nipun's visits to Austria, I've observed the emergence with a keen eye. And my gratitude gets deeper and deeper, as I see the ripples are growing and growing.
Last week, Thomas Franz Riegler -- a past diner at Karma Kitchen Vienna -- had his Cabaret Premiere in Vienna and told the audience about his experience of paying for coffee for a stranger and invited everyone to do an act of kindness.
It may look small in the beginning, but that's how friendship picnics begin. Trust in the flow. Big hug from Dreamicon Valley.
