Buddhist Meditation

**Kenija — Bitcoin na afriškem kontinentu 🌍** Bitcoin Ljubljana Meetup \| **Sreda, 24. 6. 2026 ob 19h** \| Kavarna Sputnik Ta mesec nas bo Toni Čepon, predsednik Bitcoin društva Slovenije, popeljal v Kenijo — afriško državo, kjer bitcoin ni eksotična novost, temveč vsakdanje orodje preživetja. Zaradi visoke inflacije in oteženega dostopa do bank se tamkajšnje skupnosti bitcoina poslužujejo bistveno bolj kot smo navajeni v Evropi ali Ameriki — lokalne skupnosti ga že sprejemajo kot plačilno metodo. Toni je pred leti spoznal Kyla Huberja, ki je ta mesec premierno predstavil kratki dokumentarec **The Education Revolution Changing Africa** — film o Keniji, njenih bitcoinerjih in vsem, kar se tam dogaja. Ker imata dobre stike, je Toni pridobil tudi informacije, ki v dokumentarec niso bile vključene... in morda jih bo razkril prav na našem srečanju. 👀 Predavanje je namenjeno vsem, ne glede na predznanje. Vstopnine ni, vendar se prosimo prijavite, saj je število mest omejeno! \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- Če nas želite samo podpreti in omogočiti prihodnje dogodke na temo Bitcoina, lahko donirate [tukaj](https://bitcoin.si/donacije/). Več o bitcoinu si lahko preberete tudi na [BITCOIN.SI](https://bitcoin.si/) ali slovenskem delu [EUROPEAN BITCOINERS](https://europeanbitcoiners.com/tag/slov/). *______________*___ **Kenya — Bitcoin on the African continent 🌍** Bitcoin Ljubljana Meetup \| Wednesday\, **June 24th\, 2026 at 7 PM \| Kavarna Sputnik** This month, Toni Čepon, president of the Bitcoin Association Slovenia, will take us to Kenya — an African country where bitcoin isn't an exotic novelty, but an everyday tool. Due to high inflation and limited access to banking, local communities there rely on bitcoin far more than we're used to seeing in Europe or America, with some already accepting it as a method of payment. A few years ago, Toni met Kyle Huber, who this month premiered his short documentary **The Education Revolution Changing Africa** — a film about Kenya, its bitcoiners, and everything happening on the ground. Since the two have stayed in touch, Toni has gathered insights that didn't make it into the documentary... and he might just share some of them at our meetup. 👀 The talk is open to everyone, regardless of prior knowledge. There is no entry fee, but please register as seating is limited! See you on Wednesday, J**une 24th, 2026, at 7 PM at Kavarna Sputnik.** If you want to support us and enable future Bitcoin Ljubljana events you donate [here](https://checkout.opennode.com/p/833f254c-66b3-4282-9a17-f14132efe612).

Open Heart Meditation Sessions with Amrita Rani (Live in-person and online on selected Thursdays via Zoom) You are warmly invited to join the Open Heart Meditation Sessions with Acharya Amrita Rani — a living space of awakenings and direct experience. These sessions are created both for beginners and seasoned practitioners who wish to deepen their meditation practice, stabilize awakening, and walk the path of enlightenment with guidance and support. Whether you are new or experienced, each gathering offers a grounded structure to help you build consistency in daily practice and grow in confidence on your spiritual path. At the heart of Open Heart teachings is direct recognition. Through the Two-Part Formula and precise meditative guidance, you are supported in shifting from self-based mode into selfless awareness, again and again, until cessation of suffering takes place. A central and deeply transformative practice in Open Heart is guru yoga. Through guru yoga, the practitioner directly connects with awakened awareness through devotion, transmission, and experiential recognition. With the help of this profound method, one recognizes their true selfless ease, the natural, effortless state beyond space and time. Alongside guru yoga, the sessions include insight meditation (Vipashyana), tantric methods, dynamic concentration, trauma-healing techniques, and foundational practices such as Bodhicitta prayers. Each session includes guided meditation, space for questions, reflection, and personal support. Rani’s meditation sessions are held live on Zoom on selected Thursdays from 18:30 to 20:00 (CET). Recordings may be available for continued integration and practice on her YouTube channel, The Sweetness of Enlightenment. Participation fee: 15 € per session Please make your payment in advance via PayPal before joining, to Rani’s PayPal account: kaisaeskeli@gmail.com Upcoming Thursday Sessions for Summer Season: 7.5.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 14.5.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 4.6.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 11.6.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 18.6.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 25.6.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 2.7.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 9.7.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 23.7.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 30.7.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) Zoom link for all sessions: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89766267672 Open Heart ashram (meditation center) is located in Zgornje Gorje, Slovenia.

This is an in-person meeting. Did you know that unwanted emotions like loneliness, sadness, hopelessness, anger, fear, anxiety, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not chemical imbalance in your brain due to some nebulous chemical reactions by chance. Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. For instance, let's say you are already carrying a huge load on your back, then you cannot take on much more, but, let's say something else happens to you, such as the difficulties from the Pandemic, then the resultant combined weight on you can take you over the edge, kind of like the straw that break the camel's back. When this happens, people's attention usually goes to the straw that was added, but actually the majority of the weight had come from the huge load that were already there, holding a person down and causing a person issues. So how do you remove the huge load that was already there? How do you lighten them up? Is it possible to get rid of them? That is what this meeting will be all about. 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. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
