Embodied Emotions
# 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.
**About the host:** Eszter is a long-time expat, a mother of three, and an integral counselor. She left her home country at the age of 21 to study in Paris, where she first experienced how deeply financial resources — or the lack of them — can shape a person’s life. She began in the expat bubble with her boyfriend, then gradually opened herself to the people and culture around her. She had her first two children in Paris before moving back to Hungary after eight years.
Back in Hungary, she took over her mother’s company while raising children as a single mother after her husband left her. At the same time, her grandmother was living with Alzheimer’s, and her mother was caring for her, which meant Eszter carried the responsibility of helping provide for seven people. Trying to find a way out of this pressure, she moved to what became her second home, the Czech Republic, to join a man who later turned out to be toxic. Despite having three children, one of them still a toddler, she chose to raise them alone rather than remain in an environment that was harmful to them.
After surviving — and eventually thriving — alone with three children in a country whose language was difficult to learn, she took on several jobs. One of them involved guiding tourists, where she discovered her gift for building trust and connection with people within just a few minutes.
When the pandemic made travel impossible, she continued deepening this path by completing a coaching certification. Yet she felt coaching was not gentle enough for the kind of relationship she wanted to offer her clients. That led her to begin a three-year training in integral psychology and become an integral counselor. Because their rage required, she also took on the role of supporting her elderly parents, traveling 500 km twice a month to check on them. Since than she has been living the reality of so-called “sandwich caregiving,” caring both for (the more and more independent) children at home and parents who have become increasingly dependent on her emotional support.
Her parenting journey has also brought her through profound challenges: supporting a daughter caught in an anxiety cycle around visits to a narcissistic father until she could eventually stand up for herself; learning to hold and accept a son’s digital addiction while, over time, setting clearer limits around how she could support him; and enduring one of the hardest experiences of all, when her other daughter went through amnesia and cut off all emotional relationships, including with her.
These experiences led Eszter into a deep therapeutic journey of her own. Through it, she learned how powerfully defense mechanisms serve to protect life, how reparative emotional experiences — especially those within families — can bring healing, and how even one stable, safe attachment can become a life-giving container for a child shaped by trauma.
Today, her mission is to support parents in being parents. She believes that while therapy can be deeply valuable, the most important factor in a child’s life is a safe relationship with a caregiver. When parents can offer that, they do not only support their own children — they also help interrupt patterns that would otherwise be passed to the next generation. For Eszter, this work is not only about helping the individuals she meets directly, but also about contributing to a healthier future for humanity.
Having lived for more than 20 years as an expat in two different countries, she has learned both how to stand strongly on her own feet and how that same self-reliance can come at a cost. She lives with a condition that will likely remain part of her life forever and requires great discipline around food and daily choices. This has taught her something essential: freedom is never the absence of limits. Rather, freedom lies in the tiny moment of awareness between what happens and how we respond to it.
That is the heart of the work she now offers to clients: helping them hold multiple perspectives, become more accepting and compassionate toward their own choices, and meet both inner experience and outer circumstance with greater awareness.
Eszter believes that when parents become aware of their own triggers and can separate them from what belongs to the child, parenting becomes much easier. And when we understand the needs and impulses a child is acting from, we can meet them with more acceptance, more understanding, and more loving guidance — rather than fear, conflict, or control.
She sees therapy, in many ways, as a substitute for the good-enough, loving, accepting parent. And one of her deepest intentions is to empower parents to trust that they, too, can become that kind of presence for their child.
Meditation (English)
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.

No special clothing needed.
* Does the attendance cost anything?

(May) Monthly Book Club: Why Nations Fail
Hello everyone,
Welcome to the Monthly Book Club — the discussion edition of the Budapest Silent Book Club for those who enjoy reading the same book and sharing thoughts together.
This May, we’ll be reading *Why Nations Fail* by Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson. The book explores the monumental question of why some nations are wealthy while others remain locked in poverty, diving deep into the powerful role that political and economic institutions play in shaping a country's destiny.
It’s a thought-provoking, sweeping read that opens the door to deep conversations about history, economics, power, and the structures that govern our societies.
🕕 **Time:** 18:00–20:00 – Group discussion about the book (no silent reading hour this time)
📍 **Location**: Lumen (we will be outside in the backyard garden).
I’ll bring a few discussion prompts, but everyone’s thoughts are welcome. Whether you loved the book, found it heavily debatable, or didn’t quite manage to finish — you’re invited.
This month's book was the winning choice voted by you! If you want to have your say on what we read next, make sure to join the poll in our Goodreads group.

Felhő európai szabályok szerint: AWS Sovereign Cloud
**Felhő európai szabályok szerint: AWS Sovereign Cloud** / **Cloud on European Terms: AWS Sovereign Cloud**
🇬🇧 English version below 👇
***
**Adat. Szabályozás. Kontroll.**
Három kulcsszó, amelyek ma már nem csak technológiai kérdések — hanem üzleti döntések, versenyelőnyök és kockázatok forrásai.
Hol vannak valójában az adataid?
Ki gyakorol felettük kontrollt?
És mennyire vagy felkészülve a folyamatosan szigorodó európai szabályozási környezetre?
Csatlakozz az **AWS User Group Budapest** vezetői fókuszú, exkluzív meetupjára, ahol bemutatjuk az **AWS European Sovereign Cloud** koncepcióját és valódi jelentőségét. Megmutatjuk, hogyan teremthet egyensúlyt a felhő skálázhatósága, az adat-szuverenitás és a működési autonómia között —üzleti, nem technológiai szemszögből.
Ez az esemény azoknak a döntéshozóknak szól, akik nem csak reagálni akarnak a szabályozásra, hanem stratégiai előnyt kovácsolnának belőle!
Keynote előadónk **Markus Ostertag**, az európai felhőszabályozás és digitális szuverenitás egyik legismertebb szakértője.
Mellette felhőbiztonsági, jogi és architektúra‑szakértőkből álló kerekasztal beszélgetés keretében járjuk körül , hogy milyen valós üzleti és működési következményekkel jár az európai szabályozás alá tartozó vállalatok számára az AWS European Sovereign Cloud. Az este zárásaként Dr. Pejó Balázs veszi át a szót, és tömör előadásában bemutatja, milyen modern technológiák segíthetnek abban, hogy a vállalatok érzékeny adatokat használjanak elemzéshez vagy mesterséges intelligenciához úgy, hogy közben csökkentik az adatszivárgás és az egyének visszaazonosításának kockázatát.

Data residency. Regulatory compliance. Operational autonomy. These are no longer just IT concerns — they're boardroom conversations.

Thursday Morning Flow
[Please register via this link if you’d like to join!✨](https://www.sanctuary.hu/service-page/thursday-morning-flow-08-15-en?referral=service_list_widget)
This morning Flow class is a light, continuous practice designed to gently awaken and energize the body for the day ahead. We don’t stay in one pose for too long — movement is guided by the breath, creating a steady rhythm and a sense of flow throughout the class. The pace is soft and seamless, helping the mind settle while gradually building warmth, strength, and mobility.
The practice supports releasing stiffness, increasing circulation, and creating space for clarity, focus, and a grounded start to the morning. We close the class with soothing stretches after the dynamic sequence, allowing both the body and nervous system to soften and reset before moving into the rest of the day.
Each class follows a weekly changing theme, offering a fresh focus and a new experience every time you step onto the mat.
Mit kezdjünk a rádióhullámokkal? (Nem wifihackelés lesz)
A terület egyszerre szól elektronikáról, rádiófrekvenciás technikáról, antennákról, analóg és digitális kommunikációról és kísérletezésről – ezért sok ponton kapcsolódik az etikus hackelés világához is.
Az előadásban szó lesz a vezeték nélküli kommunikáció alapjairól: modulációkról, protokollokról, digitális módokról, elérhető ingyenes szoftverekről, valamint arról, hogyan is vágjunk bele a rádiózásba és egy RF szignál azonosításába.
Mindezt olcsón beszerezhető eszközök használatával.
Az előadás végére remélhetőleg felismerésre kerül, hogy a rádiózás etikus hacker szemmel kiváló terep RF-biztonsági kutatásokhoz, SDR-es elemzésekhez és legális, kontrollált kísérletezéshez.
Az előadásra hozunk egy csomó RF-fel működő kütyüt, ha van otthon elfekvőben régi kocsikulcs, távnyitó, elemes távirányítható játék, Flipper Zero vagy hasonló, hozd el és nézzük meg, mit tudunk kezdeni velük.

#9 Female Networking over coffee ☕ Connection Circle May Edition | Barcelona
*Most online networking feels like a muted webinar. Most digital hangouts feel like chaotic small talk. We are here to do the opposite!*
🎟️ REGISTRATION
To protect the intimacy and quality of our circle, seats are strictly limited.
**STEP 1:** RSVP on MeetUp
**STEP 2:** [Get your ticket](https://luma.com/vw9wrj9o)
💜 ABOUT US
The **Women’s Coffee Network** is an international female community for local and expat professionals, offering a non-traditional experience where you don't have to fight for your voice, perfect an elevator pitch, or navigate a room of strangers alone.
Working with the precision of a designer and the empathy of a coach, we’ve built this soft sanctuary where we skip the superficial small talk and the rigid structures to build genuine, meaningful relationships through shared wisdom and collective growth.
🎀 WHO IS THIS FOR?
☕︎ It's a **female-only community** because we have our unique way to express ourselves, struggles in the business world, and jokes only other women can understand.
☕︎ If the idea of a meetup with 50 people makes you want to stay home, this circle is for you! We gather in **small, intimate groups** — to meet enough new people to have a deep conversation, but not so many that you feel anxious or overwhelmed.
☕︎ Whether you are leading a corporation, building a creative empire, or navigating the quiet uncertainty of a career transition, you have a seat at our table. The **diversity of professional backgrounds** makes our circle special with shared wisdom.
☕︎ Our **soft-flow dialogue** ensures that no bravery is required to be heard. You don’t have to be the loudest in the room to be the most impactful. Here, your silence is respected, and your voice is gently invited.
WHAT TO EXPECT?
* A **guided start** where every woman is seen and heard. You introduce yourself saying whatever you feel like sharing in a way that is comfortable to you.
* We use our **custom-designed materials** to move past titles and discover the humans behind the roles.
* A **verified circle** of women where you can be professionally ambitious and personally vulnerable at the same time.
* Leave with **full batteries**, meaningful new professional bridges, and the support of women who truly *get it*.

New Rules for Your Business: What's Coming For Entrepreneurs
**The 2026 elections are over.** The dust is settling. And 2027’s new "EU Inc." company model is staring us down.
When big structural changes happen, it is completely normal to put them on the back burner. You have a business to run.
But the upcoming shifts in Hungary and the EU might actually change how you operate. We are heading to KLUSTER to figure out exactly how this affects us, without the panic or the guesswork.
We are splitting the night in two.
First, Bence Gajdácsi (CEO of Gajdácsi Flakon Kft.) tackles the macro reality of Hungary's post-election landscape and the new EU Inc. He will break down what these legal shifts mean for your business structure so you can adapt before the rest of the market even catches on.
Second, Nándor Fehér (Content Marketing Specialist) reveals the steps of building a predictable client acquisition machine with no technical skills. Even if you genuinely hate marketing, you will leave knowing how to spot the psychological hooks others and your competitors use.
**The Agenda & What You'll Learn**
* **17:45:** Arrive, grab a drink, and connect.
* **18:10 – 18:15:** Event Kickoff.
* **18:15 – 18:35: Hungary's shift & a new EU structure**
* Bence breaks down two major shifts: Hungary’s new reality under a new government, and an early peek at the 2027 EU Inc. This new European company structure aims to cut bureaucracy and accelerate cross-border growth. You get an honest look at how to position your business for both.
* **18:35 – 18:55: Automating Client Acquisition**
* Imagine a vending machine that turns a €1 coin into a €2 coin. How many times would you use it? Nándor will show you how to build that exact machine. In marketing and sales, this is called a 'funnel', a simple sequence of steps that naturally guides a complete stranger to buying your offer. You will learn to spot competitor patterns and walk away with a clear idea of which exact system actually makes sense for your own business.
* **18:55 – 20:00:** Genuine networking & conversations with quality food and drinks.
* **20:00 onwards:** We head to a nearby bar as usual.
**Location**
We'll be hosting at the fantastic **KLUSTER Coworking** space.
**Who Is This For?**
This series of presentations is for freelancers, founders, and open-minded people in Budapest. As you might know, the presentations are really just an excuse to get us all in the same room. Join real conversations with a real community of curious people who are navigating the exact same challenges you are.
**The Legal Bit**
As usual, we’ll be taking photos and videos throughout the night. By showing up, you consent to being in them.
Thanks for reading, see you on the 29th (of May)!

Judgement of Paris - House Wine
This is the 50th Anniversary of the Judgment of Paris. Significantly, in 1976, California wines unexpectedly outperformed French wines in a blind tasting with nine French judges, challenging the perception that only French wines were of the highest quality. This event helped elevate the status of California wines on the global stage and is considered a pivotal moment in wine history.
House Wine, in Worthington, modestly, recreates that moment in history with a tasting both American and French wines in a fun, casual atmosphere. Come at 6:45, pay your fee at the register and join your friends for this "Judgey" tasting. https://www.wineenthusiast.com/culture/wine/the-judgment-of-paris-turns-40/
Arrive when you can and we'll have a table for gathering. Feel free to bring your own food as it is welcomed at this local gem or order from the newly opened Worthington Inn, or local favorites such as Dewey's, Everest, Jet, Worthington Tavern and The Whitney. Each person pays their tasting fee, typically $15, and gets their wine glass, then approximately five pours of the wines being served.
**Parking is tough**. Try the second lot behind House Wine accessed by the land by the back parking lot or the municipal lot one block north of House Wine.
**Waiver and Liability and Attendance Policy.** Participation by you and your guests means you agree to the Waiver of Liability and Attendance Policies on our Group Page. People who have two more or Attendance policy violations are subject to removal from the group.
