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.

“*Ha összetaposol egy csótányt, hős vagy; ha egy szép pillangót, gonosztevő. Az erkölcsnek vannak esztétikai kritériumai.*” Friedrich Nietzsche “*A művészet nem önmagáról szól, hanem arról a figyelemről, amit felé irányítunk.*” Marcel Duchamp Üdvözlünk az első, magyar nyelven megrendezett filozófiai beszélgetésünkön! Ez egy kísérlet is: közös gondolkodás, kérdezés és nézőpontváltás – nem előadás, nem vita, hanem figyelmes jelenlét. Ezzel az alkalommal egy olyan témát választottunk, amely nap mint nap hat ránk, mégis ritkán állunk meg kellő alapossággal megvizsgálni: az esztétikát. Mindannyian folyamatosan esztétikai ítéleteket hozunk. Emberekről, márkákról, tárgyakról, városokról, ételekről, rituálékról. De vajon ezen ítéleteink tényleg csak az „ízlésünkből” fakadnak? Velünk született adottság, vagy tanulás és nevelés eredményei? Az esztétika nem pusztán külsőségekről szól. **Értékrendszer.** Formálja a vágyainkat, az identitásunkat, a bizalmunkat, és bizonyos esetekben maguknak a dolgoknak a jelentését is. Ez az alkalom nem arról szól, hogy „mi szép”. Arról szól, honnan **jön a szépség**, miért van ekkora hatása az életünkre, és hogyan határoz meg – vagy akár alakít – annyi mindent körülöttünk. Nem kell művészeti vagy divatszakértőnek lenned, de légy nyitott különböző nézőpontokra. Ha mindenki egyetért, akkor a beszélgetés valószínűleg kudarcot vallott. **Az alkalom menete** 1. **Bemutatkozás (10 perc)** Kérünk, hozz magaddal egy tárgyat (lehet egy kép a telefonodon is), amit szépnek tartasz. Lehet irodalmi idézet, egy gondolat, egy koncepció – bármi, amit esztétikailag értékesnek tartasz. 2. **Bevezetés az esztétikába – Hallay Erik filozófus** **(kb. 20 perc)** Erik rövid áttekintést ad az esztétika fogalmáról, történetéről és jelenéről. 3. **Kérdések, amelyeket a beszélgetés során körbejárunk:** **(kb. 1 óra 30 perc)** 4. Velünk született a „jó ízlés”, vagy tanuljuk? 5. A szépség társadalmi konstrukció? 6. Lehet valami csúnya mégis szép – és fordítva? 7. Létezhetnek egyetemes esztétikai mércék? 8. Létezhet művészet közönség nélkül? 9. Van-e evolúciós előnye a szépségnek? 10. A vágy formálja az esztétikát, vagy az esztétika a vágyat? 11. Magadért öltözködsz úgy ahogy, vagy a társadalmi elfogadásért? 12. Lehet a szépség erkölcsi állásfoglalás? 13. A művészetnek meg kell nyugtasson, fel kell kavarjon, vagy próbára kell tennie érzéki preferenciáinkat? 14. Lehet-e esztétikai értéke az AI által generált művészetnek? 15. Elveszíti-e egy műalkotás az értékét, ha könnyen megismételhető? 16. Túlértékelt az eredetiség? 17. Ha holnap eltűnne az esztétika, mit veszítenénk el először: az örömöt, az értelmet vagy hierarchikus viszonyokat? 18. Morálisan felelősek-e a művészek a munkájukért? 19. Hol húzódik a határ művészet és design között? 20. Miért fordítunk több figyelmet a „szép” fajok védelmére, miközben a „csúnyákat” figyelmen kívül hagyjuk? **RSVP:** Kérjük, jelezd részvételedet a Meetup felületén, hogy biztosítani tudjunk számodra helyet. Ha teheted, akkor megköszönnénk, ha **400 Ft** vagy afeletti értékben hozzájárulnál adományoddal a meetup költségeinek fedezésére.

**\*\*Please read before registration - paid event\*\*** *Already exhausted by the words “resolution, goals and visionboard”?* *When was the last time you actually stopped to check in with yourself?* *What if clarity came from slowing down, not speeding up?* **CTRL+ALT+ME** is a gentle reset—not a “new year, new you” situation (because… no). This isn’t a productivity workshop or a vision-board goal setting kind of activity. Time is weird and kind of fluid anyway, so, consider this a pause button rather than a fresh start. Through art therapy, we’ll reflect on what’s been quietly holding us back, where our energy’s been leaking, and what no longer deserves our attention. No pressure to have answers. Just noticing, becoming conscious, and shifting perspective—with intention and curiosity. It’s a chance to try something new, step a little outside your comfort zone, and sit with the reflections you didn’t have time for during the rushhour. Leading the workshop: Jennifer Nyerki (Art and Sociotherapist Candidate) Date: 18 January 2026 Time: 09:30-13:30 Location: Kisvilág Fee: 8,500 HUF Payment: via bank transfer only!

The field of Art Therapy is diverse, with each branch having its own area of expertise - visual arts, movement, dance, music, and drama..etc The focus is not on the final artwork, but on the journey and what it reveals. **Important:** *This is not an art workshop or an art course. The workshop does not qualify and does not replace psychotherapy but is a meaningful addition to the self discovery journey. Furthermore, it is not recommended for those undergoing neurological or psychiatric treatment.* **What to expect:** \- no prior artistic skills or experience required \- various creative techniques \- group and individual exercises \- express and explore emotions freely \- process over outcome \- experience a supportive and inspiring environment\, the collective energy of the group can deepen personal reflection and foster a sense of belonging

We are recruiting new group leaders for virtual men's groups!

Read below to learn about our groups and click the links at the bottom to apply. ### **What is an Outdoor Empowerment Group?** Our Outdoor Movement & Community Empowerment Groups are simple, guided experiences designed to help people reconnect with nature, themselves, and others. We combine some form of movement (hike, walk, run, bike, yoga, workout) and meaningful conversation within a simple community circle to create a space where individuals can support each other while prioritizing mental and physical well-being. Whether you’re seeking stress relief, personal growth, or community, our groups offer everyone a unique and welcoming environment. ## **Why Join?** * **Improve Mental & Physical Well-Being** – Movement, nature, and supportive conversations reduce stress and promote balance. * **Feel Less Alone** – Build genuine connections with like-minded people in a safe, welcoming space. * **Gain Clarity & Perspective** – Step outside daily routines and into a space designed for personal growth and reflection. ## **The Ideal Group Leader** The ideal group leader * Has a born-in passion for mental health, movement, connecting with nature and building community. * Has 5 extra hours per week to dedicate to a meaningful cause for at least one year. Yes, you can leave any organization at any time and we can also ask you to leave, but we are building with legacy in mind and we need people who can commit and be ALL IN on this mission to build with us. * Is independently financially stable with the ability to volunteer with no expectation of pay. This is a deeply beautiful journey of service that all participants commit to at Speak Your Mind. * An ability to manage groups with high emotional intelligence and desire for human connection. * An ability to self-motivate and market/promote their group on Facebook and other social platforms. * Nature informed therapy or clinical therapists/psychologists a plus. ## **Our Impact**  Since launching, we have helped thousands find support, connection, and healing through our Outdoor Movement Groups. 100% of participants surveyed have reported: * A noticeable improvement in mental clarity and emotional well-being. * An increase in social connection and a sense of belonging. * Said they would return again. We believe mental health should be accessible, community-driven, and rooted in nature. Join us and take the first step toward a more connected, grounded, and supported version of yourself. ### **Why Our Groups are Donation-Based** Our Outdoor Movement Groups are made possible through a donation-based model. This approach allows us to keep our events accessible to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances, while also ensuring that we can continue expanding our reach. It’s a great way to pay it forward and support the growth of this beautiful mission!

Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds. **Step 3: Walk, talk & float** We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!" **Step 4: Feel more alive** Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times. *For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)* **HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC** A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about. Recent topics include: * "What are you passionate about right now?" * "What makes a good friend?" * "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?" * "How do you want to be remembered?" * "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?" Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter. **WHAT TO EXPECT** This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.* But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here. **FAQ** * Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk! * We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space. * We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space. * Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know. * Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic! **LOGISTICS** * If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event. * This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs. * Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details. * If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**.
