Strandduiken

Welcome to Gradient Hiking ∇, where every trail brings fresh air, beautiful landscapes, and a sense of direction. Join us to stay active, enjoy nature, and share the experience with a friendly community. Come hike with us for movement, connection, and time well spent outdoors. It's that time of the year again, when mere existence becomes an unending challenge of enduring inhumane temperatures, or simply known as summer. Luckily, there is a solution where we can still go hiking, and not be boiled alive: doing it at night. This of course comes at the cost of not being able to fully see the beauty of nature. Our destination will be close to Budapest, so we can admire the artificial glow of the city, and also get to use convenient public transport to go home afterwards, which is not a given in most other places late at night. 📅 **Meeting Time and Place** 2026-07-04 20:30, Saturday, at [Normafa, Gyermekvasút bus stop](https://maps.app.goo.gl/F9Sv4GLKofaxaFC79). 🗺️ **The Walk** [Full track here](https://turistautak.openstreetmap.hu/mentettutv-1782501236epcf). 7 km, 170 m descent, 280 m elevation, 2.5 hours. Easy difficulty. Most elevation is at the end, when temperatures decrease. We'll start from Normafa at sunset, to avoid the major heatwave, and descend to Tündér-szikla, catching a view of Budapest in the last rays of sunlight. Then we'll head into the dark forest and walk without seeing much of anything, as is typical at night, until we reach Kaán Károly-kilátó, where a spectacular panorama filled with city lights awaits us. We'll take the bus from Szépjuhászné back. After the hike, around 11 PM, I invite you to grab a drink at a bar near Széll Kálmán tér. 🎒 **Bring** \- Drinking water\. \- Comfortable shoes and clothes for a walk in nature\. It could still be 30\+ degrees unfortunately\. \- A light\. Don't use your phone's flash\, as that would drain the battery\. I have a few extra I can lend\. A maximum of 25 people can attend. Let me know if you're joining. Please also let me know by Friday if you need to cancel. See you in nature.

Then we’ll have a safety briefing and basic paddling instruction. After that, we’ll launch the boats and practice a little in the bay. Children must wear life jackets. Adults who can swim may choose not to wear them, but must still keep them in the canoe. We will paddle downstream, go around the cape, and enter the so-called dead branch — where there is almost no current. We’ll see swans, ducks, herons, and other birds. In sunny weather, we may spot turtles. There is also a chance to encounter an otter or even a roe deer on the shore. On the way back, we’ll pass through a narrow channel in the reeds and then under the hanging branches of fairytale-like trees. And for sure, we will definitely meet the crocodile! The total route is 9 km — an ideal distance for beginners. We’ll have lunch in a meadow, and the children will be able to play and swim in the bay. Price: 16,000 HUF/person Children up to and including 9 years old receive a 2,000 HUF discount. Canoe, paddles, and life jacket rental are included. Everyone is welcome. Children from 7 years old may join with their parents. Most children from our hiking group may join without parents as well (to be discussed personally).

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 friendly, 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 underground part of Élesztő (turn right just after entering the garden)!

Looking forward to see you again this Sunday! **General description of the class:** Our class is open both for complete beginners, as well as intermediate players who want to level up their skills. * We will have enough time to cover the basics (for newcomers), discuss what we would like to improve and get playing! * We usually **play two-three songs** per class, depending on the level of the group. I also speak Hungarian, so if there is anyone who doesn’t understand English, I will translate on the go. Any newcomers are welcome and I will help you to get started and develop together with others. **What to bring:** * A pen and notebook, so you can take notes as needed. * Guitar (if you don't have one, you can use mine during the class, but definitely you should get a guitar later if you want to learn guitar properly). This event is totally **free of charge**, **but I appreciate donations, which helps me, the organizer, to cover the bills. Recommended donation: 2,500 HUF.** Feel free to **bring your friends**. We have enough space! **I recommend joining our Telegram channel** to get notified about announcements or any cancellations: https://t.me/budapestGuitarClub

Open Dharma Budapest is a friendly meditation sangha for anyone interested in meditation. Every Sunday we gather for 1–1.5 hours at a local tea house to sit together, share, and support each other on the path. What to expect: Each session begins with a 20-minute silent sit, followed by an open, voluntary sharing of our experiences — a space to process what arises in practice, together. Attention: This is not a guided meditation class. We explore a range of techniques rooted in Theravāda Buddhism, with a modern and pragmatic approach - open to both seasoned practitioners and complete beginners. Your host: Sessions are hosted by Maria East, a long-term practitioner of Theravāda, Vajrayāna, and Dzogchen, with over 10 silent retreats over the last 5 years. Maria is also a clinical psychologist in training, who is happy to offer additional support if practice brings up anything challenging. You're welcome to enjoy a cup of tea before the session ([Menu](https://okuma.space/menu/)). Please [book here ](https://okuma.resos.com)and come earlier if you wish so. PLEASE RSVP HERE to receive further instructions on how to get in.

At the end of the hike, we'll ride the forest railway. We'll return to Nyugati at 3:55 PM.

Here's the day. This is for those who miss playing together to turn our in-spiration into an ex-piration. To release our soul to have a relief of energy. Therefore, we are starting weekly jamming sessions. If you’re looking to **explore new instruments**, **develop your musicianship** or just **connect with others through music**, this is for you. Perhaps you always wanted to sing while others are playing. Or maybe you wanted to play solo guitar while other are playing the rhythm? Anything is possible. This is the time to bloom. Our place offers cosy and embracing atmosphere for you to feel comfortable and play with others. Bring your instrument if you have. Especially if it’s a unique one! **We have and you can use:** * Electric guitar (strat style) and two amps * Bendir – turkish percussion instrument * Arturia MiniLab synth, Korg Kass Pad and Ableton Push 2 for those who want to make it electronic * Shure SM57 for singing and/or recording All ages are welcome and feel free to donate if you can.

You can sleep in on the Semiquincentennial (observed), we’re shifting to the following Friday. But join the local UX community for a chat and some biscuits to catch up. If you were in CA for Figma Config, tell us all the lines and you can tell me how I can animate an SVG without coding it by hand, and why I’d even want to. Thanks to the team at Nationwide of supporting the group.

This is a free, in person meeting. Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. We look forward to having you join us! This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

Be prepared for an entirely different type of sci-fi movie! Unofficially, the second movie in director Lars von Trier's "Depression Trilogy," 2011 Melancholia depicts the events that occur before a rogue planet is about to collide with the earth. Considered by many to be a masterpiece, the film was included in BFI's 2022 Sight and Sound Poll of the greatest movies of all time. It is available at the library as well as on Kanopy.
