**Upcoming Book Club Meetings** We’re continuing the season with two very different but equally compelling novels, one a timeless classic of love and longing, the other a sharp, contemporary story of power, ambition, and survival. As always, everyone is warmly welcome, whether you’ve finished the book, are still reading, or simply want to join the conversation. **April Book Club Meeting** **Love in the Time of Cholera** — Gabriel García Márquez April 29 7:00 PM Közkincs Könyvtár A richly layered, poetic novel that spans decades, exploring love in its many forms patient, obsessive, enduring, and transformative. Márquez blends romance with reflections on time, aging, and the nature of devotion. **May Book Club Meeting** **Birnam Wood** — Eleanor Catton May 27 7:00 PM **Közkincs Könyvtár** In contrast, *Birnam Wood* is a gripping, modern novel that brings together activism, tech power, and moral ambiguity. Fast-paced and thought-provoking, it offers plenty to discuss about idealism, control, and the consequences of our choices.

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.

*Most online networking feels like a muted webinar. Most digital hangouts feel like chaotic small talk. We are here to do the opposite!* 🎟️ REGISTRATION To protect the intimacy and quality of our circle, seats are strictly limited. **STEP 1:** RSVP on MeetUp **STEP 2:** [Get your ticket](https://luma.com/vw9wrj9o) 💜 ABOUT US ​The **Women’s Coffee Network** is an international female community for local and expat professionals, offering 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. ​Working with the precision of a designer and the empathy of a coach, we’ve built this soft sanctuary where we skip the superficial small talk and the rigid structures to build genuine, meaningful relationships through shared wisdom and collective growth. 🎀 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. WHAT TO EXPECT? * A **guided start** where every woman is seen and heard. You introduce yourself saying whatever you feel like sharing in a way that is comfortable to you. * We use our **custom-designed materials** to move past titles and discover the humans behind the roles. * A **verified circle** of women where you can be professionally ambitious and personally vulnerable at the same time. * Leave with **full batteries**, meaningful new professional bridges, and the support of women who truly *get it*. **STEP 1:** RSVP on MeetUp **STEP 2:** [Get your ticket](https://luma.com/vw9wrj9o) If you feel called to create real connection in Barcelona within a female-only community, we can’t wait to welcome you. 💜 Stay in the loop, stay connected! 👇 [Events ](https://luma.com/WomensCoffeeNetworkBARCELONA)\| ​[LinkedIn ](https://www.linkedin.com/groups/17220029/)\| [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/womenscoffeenetwork)

Hello everyone, Welcome to the Monthly Book Club — the discussion edition of the Budapest Silent Book Club for those who enjoy reading the same book and sharing thoughts together. This May, we’ll be reading *Why Nations Fail* by Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson. The book explores the monumental question of why some nations are wealthy while others remain locked in poverty, diving deep into the powerful role that political and economic institutions play in shaping a country's destiny. It’s a thought-provoking, sweeping read that opens the door to deep conversations about history, economics, power, and the structures that govern our societies. 🕕 **Time:** 18:00–20:00 – Group discussion about the book (no silent reading hour this time) 📍 **Location**: Lumen (we will be outside in the backyard garden). I’ll bring a few discussion prompts, but everyone’s thoughts are welcome. Whether you loved the book, found it heavily debatable, or didn’t quite manage to finish — you’re invited. This month's book was the winning choice voted by you! If you want to have your say on what we read next, make sure to join the poll in our Goodreads group. **Follow us:** 📌 **[Goodreads](https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/1271292-budapest-silent-book-club)**[ ](https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/1271292-budapest-silent-book-club)(monthly book club voting) 📌 **[Facebook Page](https://www.facebook.com/people/Budapest-Silent-Book-Club/61567388151835)** (previous books read in sessions)

Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor. BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it “a sure-fired crowd-pleaser” that “just might be the feel-good hit of the year!” Others say, “Paul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmer” that’s both “hilarious and deeply moving!” SUMMER OF ICE CREAM, VOL 2: SHAKE NO. 8!
