But you are ready, open and available to start a new friendship which may lead to a relationship.

## Better than online dating!
Most of us have tried dating apps or sites and know how time consuming and frustrating it can be. It is virtually impossible to gauge chemistry by looking at pictures or reading a profile. You may spend weeks chatting with someone online only to learn that you don't connect in person.
***We think going out and socializing is much more fun than wasting time swiping and messaging. Our events allow you to get a feel for the connection right away, because we value your time! Come join us so you can finally say goodbye to worrying about what emojis to use or how long to take before you respond.***
***Our events offer busy single Christians a great way to meet new people in a fun, safe and chilled environment. Whether you're looking for a new friend or a potential date, our events give you the tools you need to expand your circle.***
***There is no set format to the event, it's a very informal social gathering.***
Everyone at this event is single and dating, so get chatting, have fun, and enjoy getting to know people. And remember, everyone is in the same boat and might be feeling a little nervous, so please be mindful of this.
But all you need to do is start talking to whoever you find attractive. It really is that simple!
We will start the night with socialising in our reserve area so that every body can relax and feel comfortable and we get to know each other. This a great opportunity to network and meet new people
And if you spark with someone, you can simply exchange details and arrange to meet up again.
Ditch the dating app & dress to impress!

Often described as one of Central Asia's best-kept culinary secrets, Uzbek food combines influences from East and West to create rich, aromatic and incredibly comforting dishes. Expect *freshly* baked bread, flavourful rice dishes, grilled meats, warming soups and a culture where food is at the heart of bringing people together 🍵✨

**It's back! By popular demand, we’re excited to be heading for round four... with our latest Ceilidh Night!**
Yep on the back of our last two amazing experiences - we've organised another lively Scottish folk music, fast-paced dancing, and a room full of friendly faces 💃

We’ll start the evening at a pub in Camden, giving you the chance to grab a drink and get to know some of our community a little better, before heading over together to the main event.
At the Ceilidh, you’ll be guided through simple steps by an expert caller who keeps things light, energetic, and totally beginner-friendly.
And with all the spinning and swapping partners, it’s not only a brilliant way to shake off the work week - it also burns as many calories as a full-on gym session 🔥
Once the dancing wraps up, there’ll be time to cool off, share the experience, and grab a drink with your new friends.
Best of all, while Ceilidhs can cost over £25 in the city, we’ve secured an amazing discount, **making the whole night just £10.35pp.**
This high-energy evening was incredible fun last time and so well-worth joining us for this one!

Public Speaking Practice Saturdays (FREE for first timers)
Come and get the chance to speak in a supportive and friendly environment. Public Speaking will boost your confidence and give you more power to speak and to be listened to in both your personal and professional life.
**What makes this public speaking session different from others you ask?**
There is a strong emphasis on self-expression, creativity, trial and error, and most importantly, speaking practice!
**What will you gain from this event?**
* Gain confidence by overcoming your fear of public speaking
* Learn to think on your feet with our Impromptu speaking format
* Get feedback and improve your public speaking with a real audience
* Tips and opportunities to practice: body language, voice, tone, pitch, uses of stories, use of pauses, humour, etc...
**Here's how it works:**
\*I may choose to change the format from time to time based on numbers, and to practice different aspects of public speaking in order to keep it challenging\*
You will put your name in a hat/bowl and when your name is chosen, you will be asked to perform.
You will speak for 2 minutes on a random topic given by the audience. This is called an impromptu speech.
We will do 2-3 rounds of speaking followed by a feedback session at the end of the workshop.
**Public Speaking suggestions:**
TIP: Give your impromptu speech the following 3 sections below.
1. Introduction ("Today, I'm going to talk about....")
2. Body ("Here is my personal experience....")
3. Conclusion ("So, my key message is ....")
Each speech is to be 2 minutes long. Audience size 20-25 people.
You're not obligated to speak, although I may strongly encourage you to do so.
**What to bring:** Yourself only- There are no mandatory necessities which you must bring.
**Dress Code:** There is no dress code. It is best practice however, that you wear the attire for the occasion which you are practicing for.

* We will walk 35-50 km in total at a slow pace. You can join the walk at any point you like. You can walk the full 50 km or just join for 30 minutes. You can join for 1 hour, go home, take a nap, and rejoin in the evening, for example. It is totally up to you — no pressure!
* A live location will be shared on the MoHu group chat throughout the day, so you will always know where to join us.
* There will be many short 15-minute breaks every 2 hours, where we can have toilet and fuel breaks. Details will be shared on Meetup and the MoHu group chat.
* After the walk, we may go to a pub or get some drinks outside (picnic style) if we still have energy. As this will be a spontaneous decision, the location will not be decided or shared in advance.
* Route: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/wMwDow1sPc3MUVNH9](https://maps.app.goo.gl/wMwDow1sPc3MUVNH9)

Üdvözlünk a MoHu-n (Monthly Hungarian Professionals Meetup)!

Célunk, hogy havonta szervezzünk italos összejöveteleket és más eseményeket, ahol a magyar szakemberek találkozhatnak.
**★Csatlakozz WhatsApp csoportunkhoz**

**★ Mire számíthattok a Gump Walkon**
* Összesen 35-50 km-t fogunk sétálni lassú tempóban. A sétához bármikor csatlakozhatsz. Lehet, hogy végigsétálod az egész 50 km-t, de az is teljesen rendben van, ha csak 30 percre csatlakozol. Akár 1 órát is sétálhatsz, hazamehetsz szundítani egyet, majd este újra csatlakozhatsz. Teljesen rajtad múlik — semmi nyomás!
* Az élő helyzetmegosztást egész nap megosztjuk a MoHu csoportchatben, így mindig tudni fogod, hol tudsz csatlakozni hozzánk.
* Körülbelül 2 óránként lesznek rövid, 15 perces szünetek, ahol tudunk mosdózni és enni-inni egyet. A részleteket a Meetupon és a MoHu csoportchatben osztjuk meg.
* A séta után lehet, hogy elmegyünk egy pubba vagy iszunk valamit a szabadban (piknik stílusban), ha még marad energiánk. Mivel ez spontán döntés lesz, a helyszín nem lesz előre eldöntve vagy megosztva.
* Útvonal: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/wMwDow1sPc3MUVNH9](https://maps.app.goo.gl/wMwDow1sPc3MUVNH9)
**★ Ajánlott dolgok, amiket érdemes hozni**
* Elektrolit italok vagy tabletták
* Könnyen fogyasztható szénhidrátok/snackek (banán, protein szelet, szendvics, gélek, magvak, flapjack stb.)
* Pólócsere (Nem akarsz túl büdös lenni… ja, és akár eshet is…)
* Hólyagtapasz (30 km felett nagyon hasznos lehet)
* Blister plasters (These can be useful after walking beyond 30 km)
* 50+ SPF fényvédő
**★ Ajánlott dolgok a séta során**
* Kortyolgass rendszeresen elektrolitos vizet séta közben
* Minden szünetnél nyújtsd meg röviden a vádlidat
* Telepítsd a Stravát a telefonodra, és rögzítsd a sétát, hogy dicsekedhess a barátaidnak ([https://www.strava.com/](https://www.strava.com/))
* Figyeld korán a dörzsölődő pontokat a lábadon (azonnal kezeld a súrlódást, mielőtt hólyag lesz belőle)

Drunken Philosophy: Where Is Everybody? The Fermi Paradox and the Great Filter
Welcome to Drunken Philosophy, a casual, curious, social discussion club. Come grab a drink and a seat at The Oracle.
**Optional topic for this meetup: Where is everybody?**
In 1950 the physicist Enrico Fermi was talking about aliens over lunch and asked a question that still has not gone away: if the universe is so vast and so old, and even a fraction of those billions of stars have planets, where is everyone? By the numbers the galaxy should be crowded with civilizations. Instead we look up and hear silence. That gap between "they should be everywhere" and "we see no one" is the Fermi Paradox.
One of the most unsettling answers is the idea of a **Great Filter**: somewhere on the road from dead chemistry to a galaxy-spanning civilization, there is at least one step that is almost impossible to get past. Maybe the filter is behind us. Maybe life starting at all, or simple cells becoming complex, or intelligence ever evolving, is the freak accident, and we already cleared the hard part. Or maybe the filter is ahead of us, and advanced civilizations reliably wipe themselves out before they spread.
Here is the part that messes with people. If we ever found life somewhere else, even pond scum on Mars, most people would call it the greatest discovery in history. But it might be the worst possible news. It would mean life is common, the early steps are easy, and the hard step is still in front of us. So the eerie silence overhead might actually be the best sign we could ask for.
**Questions to wrestle with:**
* Is it better to be alone? Would you rather we find alien life and learn we are not special, or find nothing and quietly improve our odds of surviving?
* Where do you bet the filter sits, behind us or ahead of us, and why?
* If it is ahead of us, what is it? Nuclear war, climate collapse, AI, something we cannot even picture yet? And can we do anything about a filter we cannot see coming?
* Two principles pull opposite ways here. The principle of mediocrity (the Copernican principle, Sagan's "no privileged place in the universe") says we are ordinary, so what happened on Earth probably happened everywhere, which makes the silence scream louder. The anthropic principle says of course we find ourselves somewhere life was possible, since we could not observe anything else, so our being here may say almost nothing about how common life is. Which lens do you trust, and does the silence still demand an answer once you account for observer selection?
* And if we did confirm life out there and had to accept we are not special, what would that do to belief in a higher power, and would shedding (or keeping) that belief help or hurt our odds of pulling together as one species?
* Does any of this change how you live, or how humanity should be spending its time and money right now?
As always the prompt is optional. Come for the conversation, stay for the drinks, and bring your own questions.
Free In-person Meeting: Unwanted Emotions & Loneliness, How to Get Over Them
This is an in-person meeting.
Did you know that unwanted emotions like loneliness, sadness, hopelessness, anger, fear, anxiety, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not chemical imbalance in your brain due to some nebulous chemical reactions by chance.
Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you.
The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life.
For instance, let's say you are already carrying a huge load on your back, then you cannot take on much more, but, let's say something else happens to you, such as the difficulties from the Pandemic, then the resultant combined weight on you can take you over the edge, kind of like the straw that break the camel's back. When this happens, people's attention usually goes to the straw that was added, but actually the majority of the weight had come from the huge load that were already there, holding a person down and causing a person issues.
So how do you remove the huge load that was already there? How do you lighten them up? Is it possible to get rid of them?
That is what this meeting will be all about.
Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life.
Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there.
