Open philosophical discussion, thinking together about a topic in a philosophical way. The topic will be chosen by the participants at the beginning of the event. No application, no entrance fee. (But as we are meeting in a normal coffee shop, you have to order at least a cup of coffee or tea.) Experience the joy of real dialogue with other people about the really important topics of life! Follow the white rabbit into the wonderland of philosophy... You find informations about me and the event [here](https://sophonautik.ch/english/).

Nerdy Fridays are our open board game nights for anyone who prefers strategy over small talk and dice over disco lights. Come solo or bring your crew. We’ll help you find a table, explain the rules, and match you with a game that fits your vibe. From light party games to deep strategic battles, the shelves are open.

**The most enjoyable way to meet new people without going clubbing! ✨** Tancheerna is unlike any dance event you’ve ever been to—there are no complex routines or staring at your feet. We hit the play button at 19:00 and start right away with fun group dances that are so simple, even children can do them. Later we blend in some easy couple dances mixing European classics, modern folklore, and smooth Latin rhythms. Our evenings are all about **great music, laughter, and the simple joy of moving together.** You don’t need a partner or any dance experience to join us. As long as you can sway to the rhythm, you belong. We use fun group mixers and rotate constantly, making it the perfect, fresh way to come alone and **connect with everyone naturally**. At 21:00, we wrap up the music and head to the nearby bistro for drinks and socializing. 📍 **Vítkov**: https://maps.app.goo.gl/JqyW62aohn18g5ZB8 **🕒 THE PLAN:** 18:50 - Arrival & Hellos **19:00 - The Music Starts! 🎶** 21:00 - Socializing at Bistro Vítkov 🍻 🎟️ **FREE ENTRY** 🌤️ **Weather Note:** This is an OPEN-AIR event! We dance only if the weather is nice.. 👟 Wear comfy sneakers or go completely barefoot. Pack a water bottle to stay hydrated and a hoodie when the sun goes down. Tančírna (pronounced tahn-cheer-nah) comes from the Czech word "tančit" (to dance) and literally means "a place for dancing". If you love to move and want to make new friends, simply show up on Friday and let’s dance!! 💃

TOPIC: Wasn’t Woke Dead…?? I wise man once said: “nobody be complaining if they had casted Terry Crews as Hellen of Troy…” Samuel L. Jackson would be a great option in my humble opinion… TRIGGERED is a discussion group for the young and young at heart, with philosophy as its core but focussed towards recent events, culture, and political philosophy, with a pinch of actual politics. We’ll discuss the selected topic as a group and probably move somewhere else for another drink to talk about anything else. Some of the points we’ll touch on: * Briefly: What is woke? * Netflix, Modern Hollywood and the Modern Audience. * Case Study: Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey. * Influence of wokeness outside entertainment. So… * Has wokeness actually reached its peak? If so, when did it do so? * Do you go broke if you go woke? * We might have won the war, but why doesn’t it feel like victory? * How to fix this landscape and move forward. Image References: unfortunately we don’t know the genius that brought life to our cover photo for the event…

Join us for Symposium! 🌞🌻🌳 In antiquity, a symposium was a gathering of friends who came together to recline around a shared table, where wine and conversation flowed freely into the night. Together, they would choose a topic and take turns speaking, listening, and laughing—guided by the rhythms of drink and dialogue. Inspired by this tradition, our Symposium has no set theme. It's an invitation to come together with other curious minds, to offer up questions or ideas, and to vote together on where to begin. Whether you're hungry for connection or simply seeking space to speak and be heard, you're warmly welcomed to join the conversation. Symposium will meet in parks throughout Prague, embracing the sunshine and pleasant weather while we have it. Bring a blanket or something to sit on. There’s no cost to join, but please bring a snack or drink to share, if you're able. Most of all, bring a curious mind and a willingness to learn from the insight of others. Feel free to bring a friend or two--also, children and friendly dogs are welcome! \*\*\* If the weather doesn't cooperate, we'll try to find an alternate venue—so keep an eye on the event chat or your email for updates. Also, despite the origins of the Symposium, our goal is not necessarily to get drunk and the organizer would encourage you not to come with that sole purpose in mind. :) The first 45 minutes of the event will be dedicated to simply getting to know one another, and we highly encourage you to join for this part. We will then vote whether to continue free conversation, to join together in a single conversation, or to split up into multiple groups. Afterwards, you’re welcome to stay or follow onto any spontaneous activity that unfolds. A note on attendance: If you need to cancel, please do so at least a few days in advance and update your RSVP accordingly. This helps honor the host’s efforts and makes space for others who would like to attend. Repeated last-minute cancellations or no-shows may result in being placed on the waitlist for future events.

**A vertical sandstone wall rising straight from the banks of the Elbe. Děčín Castle staring at you from across the river. 16 routes bolted into solid rock, ranging from first-timer-friendly to genuinely hard. And it's 90 minutes from Prague by train.** **Pastýřská stěna — Shepherd's Wall — is the longest via ferrata in the Czech Republic and the only one located right in the middle of a city. You climb from the Elbe embankment to the top of a 150–170m sandstone cliff, with the river canyon and castle below you the entire way. It's the perfect introduction to via ferrata — or a great morning workout if you've done it before and want to push harder lines.** **What makes this place special is that you can do it multiple times in one day, on different routes. Beginners start on the easier B lines and get a feel for the gear. More experienced climbers go straight for the D routes and find they're harder than labelled. Everyone ends up at the same viewpoint on top, looking down at the same improbable view.** **Who's this for?** **Everyone. Literally. Kids from age 12, first-timers, experienced climbers — the wall has something for all of you. The only deal-breaker is a serious fear of heights. If you're on the fence about whether you can handle it: you can. Come and find out.** ******* **🗓️ The Day** **🚉** **07:00 — Meet at Praha hl.n.

You went on that retreat, read the book, committed to meditating daily. And here you are at 3 am, drunkenly staring down a Žižkov doner, wondering what happened. Come share your spiritual misadventures. You can bring a story, poem, insight, or simply come and hang out. This is a space for anyone interested in spirituality and meditation. All paths and experiences are welcome! We are meeting at Stromovka Park, near Stromovka Fountain. Bring something to sit on. Pets are always welcome! We’ll start with an opening circle, short group meditation, then move into sharing and discussion. If you arrive while we're meditating, feel free to join us quietly.

Dear Adventurers, This one is truly special! Our dear friend and a relentless hiker Honza is taking us on a night adventure through Krkonoše where we'll get to see both the sunset and sunrise in one go. In between, we'll enjoy a ridge walk free of noise and light pollution (unless people opt for headlamps 🙃), and a picnic or two under the starry sky. ⚠️ The pace will be moderate, but the trail is still almost 40 km with significant elevation gain/loss. Not to mention the dark. Brace yourself for hills, uneven rocky paths, and circadian rhythm confusion. 📍 **Trail** 38 km • ↑ 1381 m • ↓ 1381 m [MAP OF THE TRAIL](https://mapy.com/s/betagekuta) **🚌 Travel** → We'll drive (Honza and Thomas).

**These are the hottest days of the year. We will meet on the 4th of July at the entrance of the Planetárium Praha ([Královská obora 233, Bubenec, 170 21 Praha 7](https://www.google.de/maps/place/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x470b94ce6ef24a2d:0x95d62e70e8497a61?sa=X&ved=1t:8290&ictx=111)).** **From 17:00 until 17:15, we will gather in front of the planetarium. After 17:15, we shall then start searching for a nice place under the trees, where we will discuss, eat and drink together until the night…** **If you like to have a philosophical conversation while enjoying the magnificent surroundings of the Stromovka Park, come and join us, the only condition for joining is that you bring something to eat and to drink with you. We will put all the delicious things on a blanket so that we don’t exchange only arguments…** **Even though I normally don’t determine a topic in advance, I would like to ask you this time to make a list of some of your favorite movies. Try to imagine you have to convince another person that these movies are great. What would you say? What makes these movies important for you? What important (philosophical) questions do these movies raise or maybe even answer?**

**The ABSOLUTE BEST place to be on a Saturday night in Prague! 🤩🍹** Every Saturday, we take over a stunning venue right in the city center and give you **total freedom to mingle at your own pace**. There’s no hand-holding, name tags, or stiff corporate icebreakers here—just a room full of great people skipping the small talk and **sparking real connections**. ✨ During peak hours, the room gets **TOTALLY MAGNETIC** and sometimes even beautifully chaotic. And to be honest, we love it exactly like this! Bar Nomads is all about pure social flow! ⚡🔥 If that’s your vibe, drop the city masks and dive headfirst into our lovely Hoffa madness. You’ll leave feeling energized, deeply connected, and a little bit more like **a true Praguer.** 😎🤙 📍 **Hoffa Bar:** https://maps.app.goo.gl/HRPxX9ruUHphZ4u37

You can sleep in on the Sesquicentennial (observed), we’re shifting to the following Friday. But join the local UX community for a chat and some biscuits to catch up. If you were in CA for Figma Config, tell us all the lines and you can tell me how I can animate an SVG without coding it by hand, and why I’d even want to. Thanks to the team at Nationwide of supporting the group.
