We don’t shy away from the 'M' word at our table. Normalizing conversations about money is how we empower our circle — whether that’s exploring how to make your wealth work for you while you sleep, navigating the hurdles of investing, or sharing the financial challenges unique to women. These topics deserve a safe, casual space. Because real empowerment isn’t just a mindset; it’s about having the tools to fund your freedom. We’re here to bypass surface-level networking and dive into the things the corporate world often ignores. COME JOIN US IF YOU'RE * **Building your Budapest circle**, weather you're a local or a newcomer (expat), ready to make this city feel like home. * **Hungry for high-fidelity connections** that go deeper than a business card. * **Eager to swap stories** with women who see the world differently than you do. * **Looking for your people** and a supportive space where you can be inspired and offer a hand to others. THIS IS HOW IT WORKS **We discover the city’s hidden gems together.** Once you register, you’ll receive the secret location for our gathering. **You’ll be greeted with a warm welcome hug** **and your first coffee (or tea) is on us**. We keep our groups intimate to ensure real conversation. With the help of a facilitator and our custom cards, we open the door to insights you won't find anywhere else. **No pressure, just presence.** You can stay quiet and listen, or share your wisdom with the group. You only share what you’re comfortable with. When the gathering ends, the connection continues, and you’ll be invited to our private community to keep the chemistry going. WHY WE ARE DIFFERENT We know the algorithm loves loud, party-style events, but we believe in the power of the intimate and the intentional. We are here for the women who want to be seen, heard, and truly connected. 👉 Take your seat at our table.[ Register here](https://luma.com/mwb10eo1) \-\-\- *This group is part of the Women's Coffee Network.

Most professional events feel like a job interview. Most social hangouts feel like aimless small talk. **We are here to do the opposite!** 🌟 WHY JOIN? At the **Women’s Coffee Network**, we offer a non-traditional experience where you don't have to fight for your voice, perfect an elevator pitch, or navigate a room of strangers alone. We created this circle because **we don't believe in the hustle; we believe in the power of a steady anchor.** This is a facilitated experience, not just a meeting. We don’t just book a table; we curate a journey. Working with the precision of a designer and the empathy of a coach, we’ve built this soft sanctuary where **the superficial is skipped** and **the high-fidelity connection begins**. We're here to share personal stories and build professional alliances. WHO IS THIS FOR? * 🎀 It's a **female-only community** because we have our unique way to express ourselves, struggles in the business world, and jokes only other women can understand. * 🎀 If the idea of a meetup with 50 people makes you want to stay home, this circle is for you! We gather in **small, intimate groups** — to meet enough new people to have a deep conversation, but not so many that you feel anxious or overwhelmed. * 🎀 Whether you are leading a corporation, building a creative empire, or navigating the quiet uncertainty of a career transition, you have a seat at our table. The **diversity of professional backgrounds** makes our circle special with shared wisdom. * 🎀 Our **soft-flow dialogue** ensures that no bravery is required to be heard. You don’t have to be the loudest in the room to be the most impactful. Here, your silence is respected, and your voice is gently invited. HOW TO JOIN US? [Reserve your seat in less than a minute](https://luma.com/mwb10eo1) 👈 🔗 Link also pinned in the comments for easy mobile access. We believe the best conversations happen in small groups.

*“credentialism is the last acceptable prejudice. In the United States and Europe, disdain for the poorly educated is more pronounced (...) than prejudice against other disfavored groups”* **Michael J. Sandel - The Tyranny of Merit.** **(In english!)** Modern societies increasingly celebrate meritocracy — the idea that talent and effort should determine success. In principle, this seems logical: those who contribute more through their effort or abilities should secure a better life for themselves. Yet meritocracy has many critics. Some argue that it simply does not work or is broken. Others go further: even if it worked perfectly, it would still be unfair — and potentially oppressive. In *The Tyranny of Merit*, Michael J. Sandel, an american philosopher, argues that this belief system has quietly reshaped modern societies, fueling resentment, individualism, a loss of solidarity, and even contributing to the rise of radical political movements. **Introduction of guests (15 minutes)** We start with a short introduction of the guests with the question: * Have you ever achieved something difficult in your career? * How proud do you feel about it? **Questions (1 hour and 45 minutes)** 1. Do you think meritocracy actually exists? 2. Do you feel you truly deserve everything you have today? 3. Have you ever worked hard and still failed? 4. If success is deserved, does failure become deserved too? 5. Do you believe people who struggle are mostly responsible for their situation? 6. Can a society be both highly competitive and compassionate? 7. Should a CEO earn 100 times more than an employee? 8. Does a person’s market value reflect their social contribution or moral worth? 9. Does meritocracy unite or divide society? 10. Should policies aim for equality of outcomes, rather than only equality of opportunity? 11. Do you think meritocracy encourages humility or arrogance? 12. Do working-class voters feel represented by today’s progressive politicians? Why or why not? 13. What happens in a society where everyone has reached their “deserved” position? What happens to those at the bottom? 14. If you are a hardworking person, is that something you built — or something you were lucky to become? *** ### Thought Experiments * Two children: one born into wealth, one into poverty * Two worlds: one aristocratic, one meritocratic **RSVP:** Please confirm your attendance here on Meetup to save your space and if you cannot assist, yield your space to another person in the waiting list. We welcome donations from 1.000 HUF (min 400 HUF) to keep the costs of the meetup. **If you are looking to order food, or drink alcohol-free wine, you dont need to donate for the group. Thank you!**

# Movement-based live workshop in Ceske Budejovice A workshop to listen for the quiet language of the body and the sudden flare of reactivity that can surprise us. Through breath, movement, and attentive sensing from head to toes, we invite emotional release by letting what’s been held begin to breathe, tremble, soften, and move. Do you ever react more strongly than the moment seems to call for? Do you ever wonder why the people you love most can trigger the biggest reactions? Do you ever say something in the heat of the moment and later wish you had responded differently? Do you ever feel old hurt rising in situations that seem small on the surface? Do you ever notice how quickly closeness can turn into tension, defensiveness, or withdrawal? Do you ever feel like something much older is being touched in your relationships? Do you ever get overwhelmed by a tone of voice, a look, or a silence you can’t quite explain? Do you ever find yourself repeating reactions you thought you had moved beyond? Do you ever feel your body respond before your mind understands what is happening? Do you ever wonder whether what hurts most in the present is connected to something from the past? Many emotions live in the body before we can name them, and in this workshop we’ll gently let them surface, move, and soften through breath, sensing from head to toes, and supportive movement. Embodied Emotions is a workshop rooted in integral psychology, where we listen for the quiet language of the body and the sudden flare of reactivity that can surprise us. Through breath, movement, and attentive sensing from head to toes, we invite emotional release by letting what’s been held begin to breathe, tremble, soften, and move. We travel in waves, from slow to fast, from one sensation to many, learning how the body speaks in every situation and how to meet its messages with compassionate acceptance. Instead of forcing change, we practice allowing: making space for what is, so it can finally shift on its own. Minimal talking, we more listen to what is inside, learning to hear, to feel and let it be. We create a safe outlet for the emotions stored in the body and let them leave, be expressed, without any damage, hurt or pain. Leave lighter, calmer and more aware. The events will take place with a minimum of 5 participants. The group is closing after the first session, no new members can join to protect the safe place. At the end of the first session, we will ask you to decide wether you commit to participating on the remaining 2 sessions. **About the host:** Eszter is a long-time expat, a mother of three, and an integral counselor. She left her home country at the age of 21 to study in Paris, where she first experienced how deeply financial resources — or the lack of them — can shape a person’s life. She began in the expat bubble with her boyfriend, then gradually opened herself to the people and culture around her. She had her first two children in Paris before moving back to Hungary after eight years. Back in Hungary, she took over her mother’s company while raising children as a single mother after her husband left her. At the same time, her grandmother was living with Alzheimer’s, and her mother was caring for her, which meant Eszter carried the responsibility of helping provide for seven people. Trying to find a way out of this pressure, she moved to what became her second home, the Czech Republic, to join a man who later turned out to be toxic. Despite having three children, one of them still a toddler, she chose to raise them alone rather than remain in an environment that was harmful to them. After surviving — and eventually thriving — alone with three children in a country whose language was difficult to learn, she took on several jobs. One of them involved guiding tourists, where she discovered her gift for building trust and connection with people within just a few minutes. When the pandemic made travel impossible, she continued deepening this path by completing a coaching certification. Yet she felt coaching was not gentle enough for the kind of relationship she wanted to offer her clients. That led her to begin a three-year training in integral psychology and become an integral counselor. Because their rage required, she also took on the role of supporting her elderly parents, traveling 500 km twice a month to check on them. Since than she has been living the reality of so-called “sandwich caregiving,” caring both for (the more and more independent) children at home and parents who have become increasingly dependent on her emotional support. Her parenting journey has also brought her through profound challenges: supporting a daughter caught in an anxiety cycle around visits to a narcissistic father until she could eventually stand up for herself; learning to hold and accept a son’s digital addiction while, over time, setting clearer limits around how she could support him; and enduring one of the hardest experiences of all, when her other daughter went through amnesia and cut off all emotional relationships, including with her. These experiences led Eszter into a deep therapeutic journey of her own. Through it, she learned how powerfully defense mechanisms serve to protect life, how reparative emotional experiences — especially those within families — can bring healing, and how even one stable, safe attachment can become a life-giving container for a child shaped by trauma. Today, her mission is to support parents in being parents. She believes that while therapy can be deeply valuable, the most important factor in a child’s life is a safe relationship with a caregiver. When parents can offer that, they do not only support their own children — they also help interrupt patterns that would otherwise be passed to the next generation. For Eszter, this work is not only about helping the individuals she meets directly, but also about contributing to a healthier future for humanity. ​ Having lived for more than 20 years as an expat in two different countries, she has learned both how to stand strongly on her own feet and how that same self-reliance can come at a cost. She lives with a condition that will likely remain part of her life forever and requires great discipline around food and daily choices. This has taught her something essential: freedom is never the absence of limits. Rather, freedom lies in the tiny moment of awareness between what happens and how we respond to it. That is the heart of the work she now offers to clients: helping them hold multiple perspectives, become more accepting and compassionate toward their own choices, and meet both inner experience and outer circumstance with greater awareness. Eszter believes that when parents become aware of their own triggers and can separate them from what belongs to the child, parenting becomes much easier. And when we understand the needs and impulses a child is acting from, we can meet them with more acceptance, more understanding, and more loving guidance — rather than fear, conflict, or control. ​ She sees therapy, in many ways, as a substitute for the good-enough, loving, accepting parent. And one of her deepest intentions is to empower parents to trust that they, too, can become that kind of presence for their child.

Semi in honor of March being International Women's Month Columbus libraries: [https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C3454709](https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C3454709) Location: SOW Plated Menu: [https://www.sowplated.com/menu-brunch/](https://www.sowplated.com/menu-brunch/) Book summary: In 2006 Julia Lerner is living in Moscow, a recent university graduate in computer science, when she's recruited by Russia's largest intelligence agency. By 2018 she's in Silicon Valley as COO of Tangerine, one of America's most famous technology companies. In between her executive management (make offers to promising startups, crush them and copy their features if they refuse); self promotion (check out her latest op-ed in the WSJ, on Work/Life Balance 2.0); and work in gender equality (transfer the most annoying females from her team), she funnels intelligence back to the motherland. But now Russia's asking for more, and Julia's getting nervous. Alice Lu is a first generation Chinese American whose parents are delighted she's working at Tangerine (such a successful company!). Too bad she's slogging away in the lower echelons, recently dumped, and now sharing her expensive two-bedroom apartment with her cousin Cheri, a perennial "founder's girlfriend". One afternoon, while performing a server check, Alice discovers some unusual activity, and now she's burdened with two powerful but distressing suspicions: Tangerine's privacy settings aren't as rigorous as the company claims they are, and the person abusing this loophole might be Julia Lerner herself. The closer Alice gets to Julia, the more Julia questions her own loyalties. Russia may have placed her in the Valley, but she's the one who built her career; isn't she entitled to protect the lifestyle she's earned?
