Welcome! Our Prague event is a melting pot of cultures where Czech beer meets global chatter.

Filozofování o životě a o všem ostatním pro všechny, bez vstupného a bez přihlášky: Co si přejete, s čím si lámete hlavu, co Vás nenechá spát, o čem dumáte, o čem sníte, co Vám vrtá hlavou, čeho se bojíte, na co vzpomínáte, o čem přemýšlíte? Nenechte tyto věci jen pro sebe, zkuste rozhovor s jinými lidmi. U nás nejde jen o to, si popovídat, o to taky, ale to máte i jinde. U našeho stolu se pokusíme, spolu *filozofovat*. Nejdříve se dohodneme, jaké téma budeme diskutovat, a pak se do toho pustíme, budeme přemýšlet, rozmýšlet, promýšlet a zamýšlet se, až se nám z toho bude točit hlava, přitom nám budou podporou filozofové všech věků, abychom jí neztratili, tu hlavu. Ani byste nevěřili, jak filozofie může být osvěžující…

This group is for anyone who writes - for any reason. Have a thesis or article you need to write? Trying to finish a novel or an academic paper? This group is for you. We are currently meeting in-person at Locus Workspace. If you have any questions, contact Sonya Lano here or on Facebook or Messenger (https://www.facebook.com/sonya.lano). We start at 9:00, introduce ourselves, and share a few words about what we're working on and what we hope to accomplish during the session. At the end of the session, you can give us a brief recap of how it went. We'll break at noon. The afternoon session starts at 2:00 pm. You're welcome to join both sessions or just one.

On Saturday, 27th of June, we’re going to meet and discuss the *The Power of the Powerless* by Václav Havel, an influential book that has become a key text of dissident thought in communist Eastern Europe. Written in 1978, Havel’s book explores how authoritarian systems sustain themselves not only through force, but through conformity, fear, and everyday participation in lies. What does it mean to ‘live within the truth’? Can ordinary people resist oppressive systems, even when they seem powerless? And what forms of responsibility do individuals bear in political life? Although written under late socialism in Czechoslovakia, Havel’s reflections remain strikingly relevant today. How do ideology, bureaucracy, media, and social pressure shape our behaviour? Are modern societies immune to the dynamics Havel describes – or do they simply take different forms? Václav Havel (1936–2011) was a Czech playwright, dissident, political thinker, and statesman. A leading figure of the democratic opposition during communist rule, he later became the last President of Czechoslovakia and the first President of the Czech Republic. *** Anyone is welcome to join! Before the meeting, please read the book (it’s around 100 pages long), think about it, and note any passages you find especially interesting, challenging, or worth discussing. We’ll share our thoughts and interpretations during the meeting. Organizational notes: 📍 Attendance is free ⏳ Spots are limited 🔗 Please register via the app so we know how many people to expect and can reserve a table accordingly

PLEASE NOTE: Due to the need of booking canoes in advance, your attendance of this event is only confirmed (!) when you reserve your place on DiscoveringPrague.cz website here: [https://www.discoveringprague.cz/event/lets-canoe-on-sazava-june-28-2026/](https://www.discoveringprague.cz/event/lets-canoe-on-sazava-june-28-2026/) Your RSVP "Going" here on Meetup is appreciated but won't guarantee you a spot. Thank you understanding & cooperation! \*\*\*\*\* Ahoj Discoverers! I’d like to invite you to another relaxing canoeing trip. This time on Sázava, the most popular Czech river. We will run a very scenic river section from Ledečko to the Sázava town, which is known for a monastery and the Kavalier glass-factory. *The trip is suitable for people who haven't canoed before as long as they can swim. You should also be somewhat physically coordinated and have patience to learn a new motor skill!* I'm NOT a certified instructor but I have taught countless people the basics of canoeing. DIFFICULTY: Easy to Medium (depending on the water level on the day) About 12 km / 8 miles. There are 3 weirs\* and some gentle rapids. \* A weir ('jez' in Czech) is a little dam regulating the flow of the river. LOGISTICS We will meet already at **7:45 AM (!)** in front of the main ticket office at the Prague Main Railway Station. We’ll be aiming to be back in Prague by 19:00. However, we will be as fast as the slowest member of our group and an unexpected delay is possible. This is a full-day event. WHAT TO TAKE WITH YOU • Shoes to wear in water (sandals, or you can buy special shoes for walking in water) • Wear clothes which dry fast (NOT jeans) • Sunscreen • Towel and maybe some spare clothes (in case your canoe capsizes) • Swimwear • Bottle of water and a small snack. • Put all your staff to a small compact bag – we will put all our belongings into water-proof barrels and they are not very large. You need to be prepared for a possibility of the boat flipping (capsizing). Keep your phone in a waterproof case and have glasses on a string while on the river! \*\*\*\*\* PRICE: 950 CZK (Includes train fare both ways, equipment rental and myself as your guide and organizer) Food&drink is not included. To be confirmed on the trip, you have to (!) book your place on Discovering Prague & CZ website here: [https://www.discoveringprague.cz/event/lets-canoe-on-sazava-june-28-2026/](https://www.discoveringprague.cz/event/lets-canoe-on-sazava-june-28-2026/) \*\*\*\*\* You can also pay with benefit cards or vouchers!

Based on the novel Roadside Picnic, it is NO picnic, but rather one of the masterpieces of world cinema. Andrei Tarkovsky's 1979 Soviet sci-fi classic, recounts the expedition of a writer and professor led by a mysterious guide called "The Stalker." to a futuristic wasteland called "The Zone." Dripping with existential dread, it continually presents strange occurrences that will have us debating the meaning of what we've just viewed right through the ending. *Stalker* (1979) can be streamed for free on HBOMax, the Criterion Channel or Kanopy. It's also available for rent on Amazon Prime and AppleTV. The Columbus Library has two copies on disc.

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.
