In this session, we dive into Pranayama, (an ancient practice to discover the flow of energy within) and the power of conscious breathing, which is one of the most important aspects of the original yogic lifestyle. On these Tuesday evenings, we do more than just a breathwork session: this is an opportunity to explore a true harmony between our breath & the mind - body connection. We begin with a 15-minute chest-opening yoga sequence to gently expand our lungs and prepare for deeper breathing (no need for gym clothes though, just an open mind). Then, we explore different breathing techniques designed for self-awareness, relaxation, and energy flow. These classes are designed to help you discover how breath can be a tool to balance, energize, and center yourself. To close, we immerse in a short yet profound "silent concert", a meditative sound journey where 174 Hz sound waves or white noise guide us into a state of deep harmony. Whether emotions are light or heavy, thoughts are clear or clouded, this is a space to simply be and find some peace.

💜 Csak nőknek szóló PyLadies esemény! 💜 Sziasztok PyLadiek! A QR-kódokat nap mint nap használjuk, de vajon tudjuk, hogyan működnek? Ezen az alkalmon röviden megismerkedünk a QR-kódok világával: megnézzük, milyen típusai vannak, hogyan tárolnak adatot, és miért számítanak ennyire zseniális megoldásnak. Az elméleti bevezető után a gyakorlaté lesz a főszerep: Python segítségével saját QR-kódokat fogunk generálni, testre szabni, és megnézzük, milyen lehetőségeket kínálnak a különböző könyvtárak. A foglalkozás kezdők számára is követhető, és remek alkalom arra, hogy egy hétköznapi technológia mögé nézzünk. 👨‍💻 Előadó: Németh-Buhin Alba és Sepp Norbert 🗓️ Programterv A két előadás között hosszabb szünetet tartunk, hogy legyen időnk beszélgetni és megismerni egymást :) • 17:30 – 18:00 Megérkezés, setup • 18:00 – 19:00 Előadás I. • 19:00 – 19:40 Szünet, Networking • 19:40 – 20:35 Előadás II. • 20:35 – 21:00 Záró gondolatok, elköszönés (A programterv változásának jogát fenntartjuk.) 💻 Mivel készülj? Workshop jellegű alkalom lesz, így ajánlott, hogy legyen nálad egy programozásra alkalmas számítógép. A gepeden, jo, ha le vannak töltve az alábbi programok: \- Python \(https://www\.python\.org/downloads/\) \- opencv\-python \- scikit\-image \- reedsolo \(opcionális\) \- customtkinter \(opcionális\) 💜 Kit várunk? Olyan lányokat és nőket várunk, akiket érdekel a Python világa, és szívesen kipróbálnák, hogyan lehet QR-kódokat létrehozni és testre szabni Python segítségével. Az alkalom kezdők számára is követhető, így nem szükséges előzetes tapasztalat a QR-kódokkal kapcsolatban. 📍 Helyszín Balance Irodaház – 7. emelet Dél (Lifttől balra) Cím: 1139 Budapest, Váci út 99 🌍 Nyelv Az esemény nyelve: magyar (és Python) 🤝 Szponzor HCL Technologies Starschema Kft.

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 June, we’ll be reading *Flesh* by David Szalay. The novel follows a man’s life across different stages, relationships, countries, and social worlds, exploring desire, ambition, class, masculinity, and the strange ways a person’s life can be shaped by circumstance. It’s a sharp, intimate, and unsettling read that opens the door to deep conversations about identity, power, success, loneliness, and the body’s role in how we move through the world. 🕕 Time: 18:00–20:00 – Group discussion about the book 📍 Location: Kőleves Kert I’ll bring a few discussion prompts, but everyone’s thoughts are welcome.

**A hidden apartment. Good people. No alcohol required.** Friday Sobers is basically a house party without the alcohol. If you’ve never been to Okuma before, it’s a hidden tea house tucked away inside an old renovated apartment. Cozy rooms, warm lighting, vintage furniture, music playing in the background, and people spread out across the space. It feels more like hanging out at a friend’s place than going to an event. On Friday nights, we open the doors and see who shows up. Some people come with friends, some come alone and end up talking to strangers. People move between rooms, join different conversations, discover new teas, listen to music, and settle into the evening at their own pace. We’ve got unlimited premium loose-leaf teas and herbal blends brewing all night, but honestly, the tea is mostly an excuse to bring good people together. The real point is having a place to spend a Friday evening that isn’t a bar, a club, or another loud venue where nobody can hear each other. Just good vibes, interesting people, and a cozy hidden apartment in the middle of the city. 🕕 6PM–9PM 💸 4,900 HUF (unlimited tea included) - RSVP on website 🎓 Students get 10% off Come solo, bring friends, or do both. RSVP: https://okuma.space/event/friday-sobers-the-tea-social-4/

“Ha egy lény szenved, nincs erkölcsi igazolás arra, hogy ezt a szenvedést ne vegyük figyelembe.” *―* Peter Singer – *Állati felszabadítás* **A session magyar nyelvű! A [consciouspass.com](https://consciouspass.com/activity/filozofiai-beszelgetes-veganizmus-kornyezet-egeszseg-es-etika-2026-06-25/) oldalon Karma pontokért is elérhető.** A Nature.com szerint bizonyítékok vannak arra, hogy az emberek már több mint 2,5 millió éve fogyasztanak húst. A modern ipari társadalmak azonban új etikai dilemmát hoztak létre: a húsevés egy életmódbeli választás, vagy erkölcsi kérdés? Ebben a beszélgetésben a veganizmus filozófiáját vizsgáljuk, valamint azt a kérdést, hogy az állatoknak jár-e az emberével összevethető erkölcsi figyelem. Különböző nézőpontokat elemzünk antropológiai, táplálkozástudományi, környezeti és erkölcsi érvek mentén. Szükséges-e a húsfogyasztás az egészséghez? Erkölcsileg „tisztábbak”-e a növényi alapú étrendek? Mi a helyzet a környezeti és egészségügyi hatásokkal? Mennyire kell a biológiának meghatároznia az etikát? A vita érinti az állatok szenvedésével és az emberi felelősséggel kapcsolatos morális kérdéseket is, többek között Peter Singer gondolatait és a „speciesizmus” kritikáját — azt az elképzelést, hogy pusztán a más fajhoz tartozás nem lehet alapja az erkölcsi értékek csökkentésének. A cél nem a konszenzus elérése, hanem annak megkérdőjelezése, amit az ételről, erkölcsről, természetről és az ember–állat viszonyról gondolunk. **Vendégek bemutatása (15 perc)** Rövid bevezető a témába és a résztvevők bemutatása. * Vegan vagy vegetáriánus vagy? Miért? **Questions (1 hour and 45 minutes)** **Kérdések (1 óra 45 perc)** 1. Igaz-e, hogy a szarvasmarha-tenyésztés jelentős környezeti terheléssel jár? * Növényi takarmány felhasználása állati takarmányként * Földhasználat * Vízlábnyom * CO₂-kibocsátás 1. A kis- és nagyléptékű termelés paradoxona: a nagyüzemi termelés olcsóbb, elérhetőbb és bizonyos szempontból környezetileg hatékonyabb, ugyanakkor az állatok életkörülményei általában rosszabbak. 2. Egy történet az élelmiszer-pazarlásból származó metánról. **Veganizmus és egészség** 1. Néhány adat: a veganizmus terjedése. 2. Ha bizonyos emberek vagy populációk esetében a húsevés jobb egészségügyi kimenetellel jár, ez erkölcsi alapot ad-e a húsfogyasztás fenntartására? 3. Függjenek-e az étkezési döntések erkölcsi szinten a tudományos bizonyosságtól? (Példa: a táplálkozástudomány gyakran változik — mennyi bizonyíték tekinthető elégségesnek?) 4. A vegán étrend választása pusztán egészségügyi döntés, vagy erkölcsi kötelességgé kellene válnia? 5. Ha a laboratóriumi hús teljesen azonos lenne az állati hússal, de állatok megölése nélkül készülne, elfogadnák-e ezt a vegánok és a húsevők? **Antropológia** 1. Ha az ember természeténél fogva mindenevő, ez igazolja-e a húsevést? („természetes” vs „erkölcsileg elfogadható”) 2. Számos hagyományos kultúrában az állatok vadászata tisztelettel együtt létezett. Lehetséges-e ennek modern megfelelője? 3. Az ember viseli a teljes erkölcsi felelősséget más fajokkal szemben — mennyire fenntartható ez? 4. Etikailag elfogadható-e háziállatokat (macskákat, kutyákat) tartani? **Erkölcsi kérdések** 1. Peter Singer szerint a szenvedés számít, függetlenül a fajtól. Ha egy állat képes szenvedni, miért számítana kevésbé az ő szenvedése, mint az emberé? 2. A „speciesizmus” összevethető-e más diszkriminációs formákkal, ahol egy csoportot előnyben részesítünk másokkal szemben? 3. Ha soha nem fogadnánk el, hogy egy másik intelligens faj embereket tenyésszen étkezés céljából, miért fogadjuk el az állattenyésztést? *** **RSVP:** Kérjük, jelezd részvételed a Meetupon vagy a [consciouspass.com](https://consciouspass.com/activity/filozofiai-beszelgetes-veganizmus-kornyezet-egeszseg-es-etika-2026-06-25/) oldalon (Karma pontokért!).

A meetup fenntartásához 1.000 HUF-tól (minimum 400 HUF) adományt fogadunk el. **Ha ételt (vegetáriánus és vegán opciók elérhetők) vagy alkoholmentes bort rendelsz, nem szükséges külön adományt adni a csoportnak.

**"Man meets woman**" is *Yang Liu*'s pictogram book about gender differences that she experienced and put into a funny form for everyone to laugh and talk about. We will start out from watching her pictures (laughing) and discussing what they mean, how true they are and how much do we see them play a role in the everydays. Besides the picture book we go further discussing differences between men and women: the male and female brains, their ways of experiencing life and each other and the struggles and funny sides of dealing with these differences. Own experiences, funny examples, questions, and opinions are very welcome in this jaunty discussion! We hope to bring the two genders a little closer to each other on a lightsome evening of laughter and...surprises? The event will be held at the **underground part of Élesztő.**

Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD
