Sandra Ulrich and Sabrina Kusternik are two of the wonderful people behind Creative Mornings Vienna, a community that has become a creative home for so many. We talk about how it all started, what keeps it alive, and why showing up month after month actually matters more than doing things perfectly.

Creative Mornings began in New York in 2008 and has since grown into a global movement across more than 240 cities. But what really makes it special isn’t the scale, it’s the simplicity. Free monthly gatherings. One talk. Morning Coffee. And a room full of people who want to connect, learn, and feel a little less alone in their work.

Sandra and Sabrina share what it takes to hold space like this: working with volunteers, staying consistent on social media, making decisions guided by values, and keeping authenticity at the centre, even when it’s hard. We also talk about personal growth, stepping into visibility, public speaking, and what happens when you create platforms that aren’t about you, but about others.

This conversation is a love letter to community. To kindness. To creativity that’s rooted in care.
Whether you’ve been going to Creative Mornings for years or are just curious what it’s all about, there’s so much here about building something meaningful, and letting it grow, intentionally, together.
