Mahamudra is a Tantra term describing the highest state of consciousness possible. It means “The Great Gesture” — a state that arises through total surrender to existence, often described as an ultimate orgasmic union with the universe. This meditation, designed by Osho and practiced within the Tantra Essence lineage, is a powerful catalyst for restoring flow when energy feels blocked — in the body, in creativity, in love, or in life itself. What this event offers: This 2-hour event is held as a deep meditation experience, not a technique class. It includes: -A clear and accessible introduction to Mahamudra -A full 60-minute Mahamudra meditation -Time for silent integration and landing -The focus is on direct experience, rather than explanation. What is Mahamudra? Mahamudra is: -A Tantric state, not a performance -A remembering of union, not something to achieve -A practice of allowing the body to be moved by existence itself The meditation consists of: -Latihan — spontaneous, non-directed movement -Cycles of prayer and grounding, opening the energy centres -A final resting in silence and surrender There is no physical touch with others, and each person remains fully in their own process. Who this meditation is for: -Those feeling out of flow or disconnected -People curious about Tantra as an embodied, meditative path -Beginners who want a guided, well-held introduction -Experienced meditators wanting to practice in a strong group field -Dance lovers who want to experience a no-mind flow state through movement -No previous experience is required. Important practical notes -Beginners are asked to arrive at the start of the event -Experienced meditators may arrive later, up to 90 minutes before the end (before the meditation begins) -Doors close once the meditation starts -Tickets must be purchased in advance: https://vev.co/atma-community-space-praha -Late arrivals without prior arrangement cannot be admitted -The meditation is held in a dimly lit room. -Loose, comfortable clothing is recommended. About the facilitator The meditation is facilitated by Anurasa, whose work is rooted in embodied meditation, Tantra Essence, and conscious presence. She holds spaces that are grounded, respectful, and deeply experiential, allowing participants to enter meditation without pressure or performance. 13.01, 18.30-20.30, ATMA 200 czk, register here: https://vev.co/atma-community-space-praha Scholarships available (3 spots) - https://forms.gle/RVYH3q5gmgpDxVku7

Learning Czech can be hard and demotivating, especially when studying alone. **This meetup is a shared study session where we come together to stay focused, motivated, and make progress — each in our own way.** This is a co-learning / co-studying session, not a class. There is no teacher, no lesson, and no study material provided. Everyone comes with their own resources and studies independently, in a shared environment. 🧠 **How it works** • We all bring our own material: • textbooks • homework from a Czech course • Duolingo or other apps • reading practice • vocabulary review, etc. • We mainly work individually • We are free to: • ask questions • help each other • share tips and resources • No teacher, no formal structure, no pressure 👥 **Who is it for?** • Czech learners of all levels • Non-Czech speakers (expats, internationals) • Czech native speakers are welcome if they want to help, but this is not a language exchange ⏱ **Practical info** • Location: Kavárna Místo Bubenecska 284/12, Praha 6 - Dejvice (Metro A "Hradcanska") • Duration: 2 hours, or less or more, as you want • Day & time: Tuesday, 18:00 • Group size: small group for now • Free event — please support the café by ordering a drink ☕ 🧪 **Test phase** This event is initially planned as two test sessions, one week apart. If it works well, the goal is to make it a weekly meetup. If you’re learning Czech and lack motivation when studying alone, come join us — let’s find it together 🙂

## **What IdeaVerse is about** **We meet usually once a month to discuss some of the current challenges as well and perhaps come up with new ideas on how to overcome them. The format of the meeting includes an initial sharing of viewpoints by each participant without judgment, and in the second half we will discuss our ideas and try to find things to learn from each other.** **In this next meeting we'll be discussing...** whether small groups of people can bring about change in a world where power structures are increasingly ignoring the needs of the many. Let's face it, people are losing their trust in both politicians and business leaders to bring about a better future. This distrust leads people to vote less, vote for populists with bold, but empty promises and jump from job to job to milk as much cash from their greedy overlords as they can before retirement. Few brave souls dare to fight but usually do so by blocking roads and spreading doomsday messages that lead most people to disconnect and distract themselves with social media, travelling and other fun but ultimately meaningless activities. We want a world where we feel we belong to a community, where we have job security, where we do work we find meaningful, have clean air and leaders we trust to do what's best for the majority of people. But there's so much work that needs to be done to fight wage stagnation, inflation, rising housing costs, sometimes working 2 jobs, that you think you just can't afford to spend any time doing something about it. Meanwhile, the richest people buy up houses and keep them empty to drive up their prices, or rent them to us - we pay them to keep us homeless basically. Rich people create and destroy jobs in short cycles to maximize profit, making going to college for a job that doesn't exist a futile effort. Rich people who employ you avoid taxes, meaning your pay raise (if you are lucky to get one) just goes back to their pockets. **These are all problems, but in this next meeting we'll be asking and trying to answer a few questions:** 1\. Is it a good strategy to trust that as middle and lower class people we can still make a decent living with so much accumulated wealth privilege? 2\. Can small groups of people make a change fast enough to save the common people from bankruptcy in this current system? 3\. What would be the most effective ways to do that? **Some suggested reading/watching:** * [The BBC hosted Reith Lectures by Rutger Bregman (4x25 minutes)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUJ-qEmQGhM&list=PLoQv-UE-d_Y-Jkj3PzkNw7Zt_kAGNVrGE&index=1) \- a review of some causes for current inequality and political pessimism but also of people who managed to make positive changes\.

### 🍖 TechTalk #4: AI ve vývoji. **Máte chuť začít rok 2026 pěkně zostra?** Zapomeňte na suchý leden. Přijďte na zimní grilovačku, kde si na férovku posvítíme na **AI ve vývoji**. Je to skutečně revoluce, která nám sebere práci, nebo jen drahý našeptávač, co produkuje bezpečnostní díry? Kde končí marketing a začíná reálná efektivita? Čekejte otevřenou PANELOVOU diskuzi, žádný "AI-washing" a korporátní hatmatilku. Místo generických frází si dáme otázky na tělo, přímo z IDE a code reviews. AI nástroje a jejich zastánci budou tentokrát v roli "grilovaného". Těšte se na střet reality s očekáváním. #### PANELOVÍ HOSTÉ NA ROŠTU: * 🗣️ **#1 - [Pavel Cvetler](https://www.linkedin.com/in/pavel-cvetler)** (CPTO [Shoptet](https://www.shoptet.cz)) *Pohled zkušeného technického lídra: Je AI ve startupech jen buzzword pro zvýšení valuace, nebo nutnost pro přežití?* * 🗣️ **#2 - [Michael Žabka](https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-zabka)** (CTO [signageOS](https://www.signageos.io/)) *Pohled z praxe: Jak AI reálně mění (nebo nemění) denní chleba vývojářského týmu a technický dluh.* * 🗣️ **#3 - [Martin Michálek](https://www.linkedin.com/in/martinmichalek)** ([Frontendisti](https://www.linkedin.com/company/frontendisti) a [Pagespeed](https://www.linkedin.com/company/pagespeed-one/)) *Pohled z oblasti performance webů, vývoje SaaS nástroje a vibe-codingu.* **Otevřeme několik ožehavých témat, o kterých se v LinkedIn postech mlčí.** Od **"AI na steroidech"**, která vygeneruje tuny kódu, kterému nikdo nerozumí, přes **bezpečnostní noční můry**, kdy citlivá data končí v trénovacích setech veřejných modelů, až po **halucinace v produkci** a mýtus, že "AI nahradí seniory". Podíváme se i na to, kdy se z AI stává spíše "Sabotér" a proč AI wappery nejsou (vždycky) udržitelný byznys model. Panel bude proložen krátkou technickou přednáškou z praxe: * ⚡ **(překvapení)** 🪢 Celým večerem vás bude opět provázet **[Marek Velas](https://www.linkedin.com/in/marek-velas)** ([edupunk.cz](https://www.edupunk.cz)), který se postará o to, aby diskuze nepřešla v generování náhodných výkřiků a měla spád. #### KDY A KDE: * 📅 **Datum:** Ve středu 14. 1. 2026 * ⏰ **Čas:** 18:30 - 22:00 * 📍 **Místo:** signageOS s.r.o., Evropská 11/2758, Praha 6-Dejvice Těšíme se na setkání!

Těšte se na tradiční diskuzi, do které se můžete samozřejmě zapojit i vy. **A pozor - tentokrát nebudeme diskuzi nahrávat!** V prostorách [Etnetera Core](https://www.etnetera.cz/) (Jankovcova 1037/49, Praha 7, 170 00). 18:00 - otevřeno 18:45 - panelová diskuze (Karel Navrátil, Petr Koláček) 20:00 - networking

In this series of meetings, we'll come together to read and discuss some of the **greatest texts and essays from the fields of** **Philosophy, Politics, and Economics**: from the Nobel laureates, famous philosophers, both ancient and modern, and influential political theorists. No academic background is required! Anyone is welcome – as long as you've read the text in advance ;) All texts will be short (10-20 pages max) and easy to find upon a quick Google search. I will also make sure to share the direct links in advance. \~\~\~ This time we will read ‘The Crisis of Our Time’, a short essay / lecture by Leo Strauss, originally delivered in the early 1940s. Leo Strauss (1899–1973) was a German-Jewish political philosopher best known for his critique of modern relativism and his defense of classical political philosophy. Strauss taught for many years at the University of Chicago, where he became an influential teacher and mentor to generations of students. His major works include *Persecution and the Art of Writing*, *Natural Right and History*, and *What Is Political Philosophy?* In the essay, Strauss postulates that the modern West is undergoing **a crisis of meaning and legitimacy** caused by the abandonment of classical natural right and the **rise of historicism, relativism, and positivism**. According to Strauss, modern social science claims to be value-neutral and purely scientific, but in doing so it cannot justify moral or political principles. In turn, historicism (the idea that all values and truths are products of their historical context) undermines the possibility of objective standards of justice or the good life. As a result, modern societies lose the ability to defend liberal democracy on rational grounds, leaving them vulnerable to **nihilism, authoritarianism, or ideological fanaticism.** Strauss contrasts this with classical political philosophy (Plato, Aristotle), which openly asked normative questions about justice, virtue, and the best regime. Join us to discuss! Link: https://archive.org/details/leo-strauss-the-crisis-of-our-time-1963/ \~\~\~ **Location:** we will meet in cafes, parks, or one another's living rooms throughout the summer. Together, we will discuss the great theories and ideas; think, debate, contemplate, deliberate, and by our joint effort we will aim to get one step closer towards understanding of this world. This time we’ll meet at Justin’s home (Blahníkova 646/16). The names on the buzzer are “McCandless, Everett, Mainous,” go up to the 5th floor and if the button in the elevator gives you trouble then just ride it up to the 4th floor. **Meeting structure:** each session will begin with a brief summary of the key ideas from the reading, followed by open discussion. Please read the text in advance, make highlights, and write down any thoughts or questions that you find especially interesting and compelling. *Knowledge Will Break the Chains of Slavery* Veritas Vos Liberabit ✊

2026 may be the last year many developers write code by hand. We need coding agents to solve complex problems in production codebases, but vibe coding alone won’t get us there. Vibe coding is all gas, no brakes. It burns up the context window until the agent slips on its own slop. You can go fast at first, but the more you stuff into the context window, the more tangled its outputs get. While the industry is rapidly increasing code generation speed, we still have to understand, review, merge, and maintain what gets shipped. This talk featuring Michael Geiger will outline how coding agents (Claude Code + Gas Town) work and a framework for orchestrating them to solve complicated problems in complex codebases. It’s about steering the model: doing the research to align intent, planning the approach up front, implementing in parallel steps, and breaking early. Human judgment still matters, but it should be spent on high-leverage decisions: what to build, what to forbid, and “what is quality?”, not cleaning up slop. Attendees will leave with a checklist to identify workflow and environment gaps that hold agents back, so you and your team can ship higher-quality software starting tomorrow.
