Mit jelent neked a szabadság? Mennyire vagy szabad? Tudsz-e beszélni, érezni, mozdulni, szeretni, gyűlölni, hibázni, sírni vagy nevetni szabadon? Mikor érzed a legfelszabadultabbnak magad? A szabadság korlátoz vagy a korlátok/határok adnak szabadságot? Mi az, ami visszatart? A szabadságom az enyém vagy másé? Ezen a 6 alkalmas foglalkozáson belekóstolunk a művészetterápia palettájába - alkotunk, szöveggel dolgozunk, zenét hallgatunk, mozgunk és kapcsolódunk - szabadon, a saját tempónkban. Mert mi is a lényeg? Megélni azt, aki valójában vagy, szabadON.

El objetivo de este encuentro es romper el hielo, hablar de las historias que nos gusta escribir, de por qué escribimos, de los libros que nos gusta leer, de qué dificultades encontramos al enfrentarnos al folio en blanco y de qué esperamos del grupo. En definitiva, se trata de conocernos como personas para entendernos como escritores. No importa si has escrito diez novelas, cuatro cuentos o el precioso título de un poema sin versos. Aquí todo aspirante a juntaletras es bienvenido.

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.

“Resentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies.” ― Nelson Mandela **(In english!)** Throughout history, human societies have wrestled with division. When identity hardens into polarization, coexistence becomes fragile. Differences can escalate into civil conflict, deepening distrust and resentment that often persist for generations. Yet history also offers rare examples of a different path: moments when cycles of hatred did not spiral into further violence, but instead turned toward reconciliation. In this session we will explore **Ubuntu** — the African ethical philosophy that shaped the moral framework of leaders such as Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu. Ubuntu — “I am because we are” — proposes that identity is not purely individual but relational. Even those we oppose remain part of our shared collective. This insight may be the hidden condition behind successful reconciliations. Beyond South Africa’s transition from apartheid, we can examine other cases of reconciliation: the American post–Civil War, the reconciliation between France and Germany, Japan’s postwar transformation, and the peace process in Northern Ireland. **Introduction of guests (15 minutes)** We start with a short introduction of the guests. **Kérdések (1 óra 45 perc)** 1. According to Ubuntu why is hope better than optimism? 2. Are we living in a time of self-respect? 3. Can Ubuntu be applied to someone who opposes Ubuntu? 4. What happens when “we” includes people who reject your values? 5. How does Ubuntu work when conflict is on-going? 6. Can the strength of the collective sometimes go the wrong direction? How to avoid that? 7. Have you put yourself in the shoes of someone you deeply reject? 8. How can we compare the european reconciliation with the South African or North-Irish reconciliations? 9. What is more important for reconciliation: leadership or strong institutions? 10. Can forgiveness be compatible with justice all the time? Is there a point where forgiveness becomes injustice? 11. Why is truth so important in reconciliation? 12. Can reconciliation hold when material inequality persists? 13. Can ubuntu help to undo polarization? 14. How can we apply ubuntu to social media? 15. Is ubuntu a way of individual-to-social maturity? 16. Is polarization a symptom of moral seriousness — or moral immaturity? 17. Is polarization driven more by inequality or by identity? **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 400 HUF to keep the costs of the meetup (If Paypal doesnt work, dont worry, you can donate on location with cash, Revolut, or transfer)

There’s something special about a Saturday morning that begins slowly — with movement, music, and a relaxed brunch. (Scroll for Hungarian) Our Yoga & Brunch event is exactly that: when movement and nourishing food come together to create a shared experience.🌿 Join us for a Saturday morning of: 🧘‍♀️ Flow yoga 🎶 Live handpan music 🥣 Vegan brunch ✨ A moment to recharge in a calm, inspiring space in the heart of the city. The program begins with a 75-minute Flow yoga class, guided by Ivett and accompanied by Richard’s live handpan music. In this gentle, continuous flow practice, the breath guides the movement, creating a natural rhythm where the practice can almost become a form of moving meditation. Ivett has been practicing yoga for more than ten years and comes from a modern-contemporary dance background. In her Flow classes, the connection between breath and movement is at the heart of the practice. As Ivett says: “For me, yoga is not just physical exercise – it’s a path back to myself.” The class is accompanied by Richárd’s handpan music, which responds to the rhythm of the practice and helps shape the atmosphere of the space. As he describes it: “My connection to music comes from presence — from an inner silence that slowly takes shape as sound.” Brunch after the practice After the class, from 11:15, a nourishing brunch awaits you, prepared by Smoothie Sanctuary. You can choose from specialty smoothies and smoothie bowls made from fresh, premium ingredients, offering a satisfying brunch experience. Participation fee 12,000 HUF / person The price includes: • a 75-minute yoga class with live handpan music • a full brunch menu of your choice (shot, juice and smoothie or smoothie bowl) Registration Spaces are limited, therefore advance booking is required. Please reserve your spot through the link: https://www.sanctuary.hu/service-page/yoga-brunch-with-live-handpan-music?referral=service_list_widget // Van valami különleges abban, amikor egy szombat reggel lassan indul: mozgással, zenével és egy nyugodt brunch-al. A Yoga & Brunch eseményünk pontosan erről szól: amikor a mozgás és a tápláló ételek találkoznak, és közös élménnyé állnak össze. 🌿 Mozdulj velünk szombat reggel: 🧘‍♀️ flow jóga 🎶 élő handpan zene 🥣 vegán brunch ✨ városi feltöltődés egy különleges, nyugodt térben. A program egy 75 perces Flow jógaórával indul, amelyet Ivett vezet, Richárd élő handpan játékával kísérve. A könnyed, folyamatos áramlású gyakorlásban a légzés adja a ritmust a mozdulatoknak, így a mozgás szinte meditációvá válik. Ivett több mint tíz éve gyakorolja a jógát, modern-kortárs táncos háttérrel érkezett a gyakorlás világába. Az áramló Flow gyakorlásban a légzés és a mozgás összekapcsolása áll a középpontban. Ahogy Ivett fogalmaz: „Számomra a jóga nem csupán testmozgás – hanem egy út vissza önmagamhoz.” Az órát Richárd handpan játéka kíséri, amely a gyakorlás ritmusára reagálva teremti meg az atmoszférát. „A zenével való kapcsolatom a jelenlétből születik: egy belső csendből, ami lassan külső hangokká formálódik.” Brunch a gyakorlás után A jógaóra után 11:15-től brunch vár, a Smoothie Sanctuary jóvoltából. Friss, prémium alapanyagokból készült specialty smoothiek és smoothie bowlok közül választhatsz egy tápláló brunch keretében. Részvételi hozzájárulás 12.000 Ft / fő Az ár tartalmazza: • a 75 perces, handpan kísérettel vezetett jógaórát • egy teljes, szabadon választott brunch menüt (shot, juice és smoothie vagy smoothie bowl) Jelentkezés A helyek száma korlátozott, ezért előzetes foglalás szükséges.
