Czech Co-Learning Session 🇨🇿
Czech Co-Learning Session 🇨🇿
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.

Holistic Intuitive Healing with Rapé
Holistic Intuitive Healing with Rapé
**Holistic Intuitive Healing with Rapé** Greetings to everyone on the path of self-discovery and deep healing. We have decided to host another Rapé Ceremony, which will once again be unique in its approach. As the name suggests, this ceremony offers a holistic and intuitive approach to working with spiritual trauma and its root causes, combined with the medicine of rapé. Throughout the process, we will gently guide you with both words and touch. For example, we may help release physical blockages in the body so you can fully experience and process the emotions connected to whatever arises during your process. ### What is Rapé? Rapé is a traditional Amazonian sacred medicine. It is a blend of finely ground tobacco and the ashes of sacred medicinal plants, administered through the nostrils using a special applicator. Rapé supports grounding, inner cleansing, and a deeper connection with yourself. It helps bring awareness into the body and encourages presence in the present moment. ### What can you expect? We will begin by introducing the concept of holistic intuitive healing. Next, we will choose a rapé blend that best matches the intention or issue you are bringing with you and administer the medicine. Throughout the ceremony, we will accompany you with live music to support and deepen your healing process. We will bring djembes, shamanic drums, rattles, harmonicas, flutes, shepherd's flutes (fujaras), and of course, our voices. The ceremony will conclude with an energetic cleansing using herbal macerates and waira. We work with several different varieties of rapé, always selecting the one that best suits your individual needs or preferences. Our recommendation is to approach this experience without expectations. A safe and supportive space will be held for you, where the expression of emotions—whether through crying, laughter, shouting, or silence—is completely welcome. We recommend bringing your own bucket in case your body goes through a physical cleansing process. ### Time **Start:** 6:00 PM **Estimated finish:** around 9:00 PM Please note that the duration may vary depending on the needs of the group. ### A few important things * Please arrive on an empty stomach so your body is more receptive to the medicine. * Bring your own bucket if possible. If you prefer not to carry one on public transport, we will have spare buckets available. If you know you will need one, please let us know in advance. * Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to relax and move freely without restriction. We will also be available in the days following the ceremony to support you, if needed, in integrating and working through any themes that may have opened during the experience. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us via Messenger or call: **Tereza:** +420 731 358 849 **Jindřich:** +420 792 643 977 Please confirm on fb event or by text message. FB event: https://fb.me/e/43tCzX3cU ### Contribution Participation is offered on a donation basis. The minimum contribution is **500 CZK**, which covers the cost of the rapé, herbal macerates, and the venue rental. Any contribution above this amount is considered support and appreciation for our work. For reference, the energetic value of this experience, including all expenses, is approximately **1,200 CZK per person**. Please reserve your place by sending us a private message or contacting us on one of the phone numbers above. We look forward to sharing this journey with you.
Where will we work in the age of AI? (second edition)
Where will we work in the age of AI? (second edition)
## **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 a second time (focusing on discussing strategies and solutions to adapt or work around this issue this time)...** the future of work in the age of AI. I know, people are talking too much about this already in tech meetups where they just praise it to Kingdom Come. We're tired of it. But whether we like that it exists or not, we are confronted with a choice that I'd like us to discuss: **Do I lean into AI like I'm told I HAVE TO, or choose a different path, one more into physical labor or working with people? Or do I just say goodbye to work and start my own business?** We hear thhat AI is going to replace a large number of jobs, starting with call centers, Uber drivers, writers, graphic designers, translators, etc. That a senior expert will replace 4 others in his team using AI. That the only jobs that will remain are those which require human touch like holding meetings, talking face to face with customers, jobs that require empathy or jobs that require dexterity like plumbing. **But the path forward seems so unclear:** 1\. Who should learn AI: young people who want to compete with seniors\, or seniors because juniors don't know enough to spot errors? 2\. Should I double down on AI courses and certificates or jump a sinking ship and learn a craft or improve my social work skills? Or start my own business to escape irrelevance at work? 3\. Do we go with the flow and adapt to this rapid overwhelming change\, or demand from policy makers that they do not let companies do as they please if that means lower wages and unemployment at scale? **Some suggested reading/watching:** * [If AI Takes All Of Our Jobs... Who's Going To Buy Everything?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYB0SVTGRj4) (the answer may shock you! :) - a 12 minute video) - good summary of the most likely future scenarios for automation and economics. Does not answer our questions but sets the scene for it. * [AI Experts: These Are The Only 5 Jobs That Will Remain in 2030!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCjmK66x_Yk) (15 minute video) - a collage of various human and AI experts discussing options for work in the future (mostly from the famous DOAC). * [Why Companies Are Quietly Rehiring Software Engineers](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFmxKgaLN80) (9 minute video) - some good news, at least for experienced developers; AI can be overhyped. **The meeting is free to attend, but please buy a drink or two at our patron's place, to make them happy. They also have food in case you find the meeting too early (see [menu](https://altangrebovka.choiceqr.com/section:kavarna---jidelni-listek)).**

Filozofická kavárna (Café Philo): přemýšlet a diskutovat
Filozofická kavárna (Café Philo): přemýšlet a diskutovat
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…
