Our membership is 313,000 strong. Members improve their speaking and leadership skills by attending one of the 14,650 clubs in 126 countries that make up our global network of meeting locations. The world needs leaders. Leaders head families, coach teams, run businesses, and mentor others. These leaders must not only accomplish but must also communicate. By regularly giving speeches, gaining feedback, leading teams, and guiding others to achieve their goals in a supportive atmosphere, leaders emerge from the Toastmasters program. Every Toastmaster's journey begins with a single speech. During their journey, they learn to tell their stories. They listen and answer. They plan and lead. They give feedback—and accept it. Through our community of learners, they find their path to leadership.

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.

Improving the quality of our breathing can powerfully support our lives. Practicing in the Salt Cave, with the support of 8 tons of salt, is a truly special experience. Everyone knows that during a cold or flu, salt can provide quick support. And of course, we all know how to breathe, because we are alive. Learning proper breathing takes time and a little perseverance. Even one breathing therapy session can bring us a lot of understanding, but for more reliable results, a greater number of repetitions is helpful. What can you expect at such a breathing therapy class in the Salt Cave? After settling into a comfortable seated position, we will go over the basics of proper breathing together, then step by step we will practice these gentle and slow movements with every breath. We warmly welcome you.

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.

# Integral self-awareness workshops in Budapest Do you ever react more strongly than the moment seems to call for? Do you ever wonder why the people you love most can trigger the biggest reactions? Do you ever say something in the heat of the moment and later wish you had responded differently? Do you ever notice how quickly closeness can turn into tension, defensiveness, or withdrawal? Do you ever get overwhelmed by a tone of voice, a look, or a silence you can’t quite explain? Do you ever feel your body respond before your mind understands what is happening? The integral self-awareness group is a safe and accepting space where you can observe your inner processes and how you relate to others. You can gain insight into recurring patterns and experiment with more conscious, new ways of functioning. The group supports you in letting go of your defensive layers and connecting to yourself and others without judgment. This offers a deeply nourishing experience of acceptance, while also helping you become aware of inner processes that often remain hidden in everyday life. The focus is on experiencing bodily sensations and emotions, often beyond words. The practices are mostly movement-based and require no prior experience. The method is based on integral psychology, associated with Ken Wilber, combining Western psychology with Eastern perspectives to support personal growth and a more loving, present way of being. Join us if, alongside the flow of everyday life, you’d like to connect more deeply with yourself – both your light, vibrant parts and your more shadowed aspects. We work together in a closed, small group over four sessions, in a safe and supportive environment. **Who is this for?** This group is ideal if you haven’t yet participated in a self-awareness process – especially a movement-based one – and would like to try it. You’re also very welcome if you already have experience but are currently looking for a shorter commitment. **What is it about?** We all carry an inner child within us that shapes how we see the world and ourselves. It holds both our resources – spontaneity, curiosity, joy – and the deeper patterns formed through early experiences. This group helps you recognize and reconnect with these parts. **What will you gain?** • A connection with your inner child • Deeper self-connection and emotional awareness • Greater freedom in experiencing your feelings • Acceptance: the experience of being who you are • Insights and experiences that integrate into daily life • A taste of integral self-awareness work The sessions build on each other. At the end of the first session, we ask for your commitment to the full process. **Application** Joining the group is preceded by a short conversation where we get to know each other and decide together whether to work together. If the decision is mutual, your place can be secured with a payment of 7500 HUF, which will be applied to the fee of the final session. The remaining session fees are paid per occasion. Registration here: [https://forms.gle/9zeRqwDq25Nib6JC8](https://forms.gle/9zeRqwDq25Nib6JC8) The events will take place with a minimum of 5 participants.

Join us as we discuss our June pick: Metal Slinger by Rachel Schneider! Book description: Even though she's not one of them, Brynn has spent her life among the Alaha, training to be a guard and waiting for the chance to attend the annual market hosted by the Kenta–the very same people who exiled her adopted community to a life at sea. Going to the market is a rite of passage eagerly anticipated by all young guards, but Brynn does not anticipate breaking a century-long peace treaty while there. Nor does she plan for the intense encounter with an enemy soldier that now threatens to unwind the fragile coexistence between their people–and everything Brynn once believed about herself to be true. Brynn's loyalty to the Alaha is tested when the truth of her identity is brought to light by this soldier who's taken an oath to bring her back to where she belongs. Narrowly escaping death on the violent high seas, Brynn's connection to the Alaha is further tested when she learns about the world of magic she's been denied. She was once certain of her fate and where she belonged, but the dark, knowing eyes of this stranger have her questioning everything, including her heart. Packed with knife fights and seafaring adventure, METAL SLINGER is the smash-hit start to the romantic fantasy duology, the Fire & Metal series

Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required. 🛠️ What to Bring Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go.
