**✨Generosity – Principles of Giving and Receiving🙏** ❓What does it really mean to be generous? We often think of generosity as giving—our time, energy, attention, or resources. But true generosity is a two-way flow. It also requires the ability to receive openly, set healthy boundaries, and engage in authentic exchange. In a world that often celebrates individuality and "hard work", many of us struggle to understand how they can meaningfully give without feeling drained and unappreciated, while others find it difficult to ask for —and receive— help, support, and love. This interactive session invites you to explore generosity as a powerful principle for connection, balance, and personal growth. Join us for an engaging experience with Vale, Leadership & Communication Skills Coach, and University Professor, where you will: 👉 Reflect on your personal relationship with giving and receiving 👉Recognize patterns that may lead to overgiving, under-receiving, or imbalance 👉 Learn how to set boundaries while staying open and generous ✨Through guided reflection and group interaction, you'll gain insights that you can immediately apply in your relationships, work, and everyday life. Whether you want to feel less drained, more connected, or simply more aligned in how you give and receive, this session offers a safe and supportive space to explore. ❓Who should attend: Anyone curious about personal growth, meaningful connections, and creating more balance in how they show up for others—and themselves. ⚠️𝐈𝐌𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐓 𝐈𝐍𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐈𝐅 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐃: 🏢 Venue: TC Space Budapest (Former D18 Cafe) 📌1066 Dessewffy Utca 18, Budapest 📍https://maps.app.goo.gl/ed4tC9HZaQzauLin7 ⌚ The Event 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐚𝐭 𝟏𝟗:𝟎𝟎, please kindly arrive on time! 💲 To support our activities as a Foundation, we will kindly ask you for 𝗮 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗺 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 2000 𝗙𝘁. 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗱 𝗯𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝘀𝗵 𝗼𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘂𝗲. ⌚After the event, at 21:00, we will move to the nearby pub to continue our conversations with a drink (or more...) in a chill environment. 👩‍🏫**About the instructor:** **Valeriano Donzelli** is the founder of InSpiral.

Get to know others and discover, reinforce & improve yourself through this psychological community game! **"Identity**" is a psychological self-improvement game that lets participants have a glimpse into themselves and each other from different aspects of life and providing opportunity to share relevant experiences and thoughts. You'll get a random simple task with every card you draw such as: **"Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be.**" -> How could you use this insight? What does it say to you? How does it bring you forward? "**When did you last have me-time?** What did you do? What things do you usually do for your own joy?" "**Every ending opens up a new gate.**" -> Recall at least 2 painful stations in your life when something important for you ended! What good things could begin thanks to these endings? Substantial short talks in a respectful, non-judgemental (really: judgements, *even advices* are forbidden by the rules!) environment, while comfortably having a drink. Let others surprise you positively, learn about them, reflect on yourself internally and improve your personal life thanks to select short tasks that aim to bring you forward! **The game will be held in english!** The game only exists in hungarian version, so for instant translation of the cards, **Google Lens is recommended on your phone**! The event will be held in the "Másik Szoba" Café and Bar (part of the Élesztőház): https://elesztohaz.hu/reszeink/masikszoba/

Practice Buddhist meditation in the middle of Budapest! The meditation is suitable for beginners. Each regular meditation is guided and begins with a short introduction. (all together is about 30-40 minutes) Our regular Buddhist meditations have proven popular with people who want to integrate authentic Buddhist methods into their daily lives. For the modern lay person who is juggling work, relationships, and an active role in society, we teach a meditation that is easy to learn, and profound and powerful for experienced practitioners. The meditation originates from the Karma Kagyu tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. It has a cumulative effect on mind, leading to greater clarity and calmness. Fearlessness, joy, and active compassion are the result of regular practice of Buddhist meditation. * Do I need any special clothing? No special clothing needed. * Does the attendance cost anything? No, the meditation is free.

Each meetup will explore different topics related to ASL/Deaf culture, and will feature time to practice conversation with one another. Just bring yourself and a willingness to learn!
