Join us for the new session of our discussion series **“A Night With…”**, where we dive into timeless myths and their universal messages. Following our last session, where we explored the journey of Orpheus, this the time to delve into the *nostos* (gr. "homecoming") of Odysseus, and moreover into this complex but manifold character. **What to expect:** * I will open the meetup with a short introduction to Odysseus’ myth and share (or suggest) a few possible interpretations and connections. * After that, the floor is yours! Bring your thoughts, reflections, and any links you see between this myth and other domains, e.g. literature, art, philosophy, psychology, history or even your own creative work. * If you’re an artist and your work resonates with the divine twins' story, feel free to share it with the group. **Before the event:** Take 5 minutes to read the quick snippet of Odysseus’ myth (provided below👇🏽) and think of: * A book, artwork, or personal reflection that relates to her story. * Any modern parallels or insights you’d like to discuss. This is a space for **open dialogue, creativity, and shared exploration**. ### ### **🌊The story of Odysseus in Brief** **🏛️ Chaper 1. Before Troy – The Mind of Odysseus** Odysseus, king of Ithaca, is not the strongest Greek hero—that is Achilles—but he is the most intelligent, strategic, and persuasive. His defining traits: **Metis** **Persuasion and diplomacy** **Pragmatism:** Key early acts of wit: 1\. Avoiding the war \(feigned madness\) When Helen is taken to Troy, Odysseus tries to avoid joining the war. He pretends to be insane—ploughing the fields and sowing salt. But Palamedes tests him by placing his infant son Telemachus in front of the plough. Odysseus swerves to avoid harming him, revealing his sanity. 2\. Recruiting Achilles Odysseus is sent to find Achilles, who is hidden among women to avoid war. Odysseus cleverly lays out jewels and weapons; Achilles instinctively chooses the weapons, revealing himself. 3\. The Oath of Tyndareus Before Helen’s marriage, Odysseus had proposed a solution to avoid conflict: all suitors swear to defend the chosen husband. This idea later binds the Greek kings together in the Trojan War. **⚔️ Chapter 2. The Trojan War – Strategy Over Strength** During the ten-year war, Odysseus becomes indispensable not for combat, but for turning points. Key contributions: 1\. The theft of the Palladium 2\. The Trojan Horse \(his greatest invention\) **🌊 Chapter 3. The *Nostos *** After victory, Odysseus’ journey home takes another 10 years. This is where his intelligence is constantly tested, but also where his flaws emerge. Main episodes: **🧠 The Cyclops (Polyphemus)** **👉 This triggers Poseidon’s curse** **🍃 The Bag of Winds** **🧙 Circe** **⚰️ The Underworld** **🎶 The Sirens** **⚖️ Scylla and Charybdis** **🏝️ Calypso** **🏠Chapter 4. Return to Ithaca** After 20 years, Odysseus returns, but does not reveal himself. His palace is overrun by suitors. They consume his wealth and pressure Penelope to remarry. He returns as a beggar, observes before acting, thus testing loyalty (servants, son Telemachus, wife). Gradually reveals himself only to trusted individuals: Telemachus and a few loyal servants Penelope in her final attempt to stop the suitors, launches a challenge: only the man who can string Odysseus’ bow can marry her. None succeed. Odysseus (in disguise) strings it effortlessly. He reveals himself and kills them. **⚖️ Chapter 5. After Ithaca: Beyond the Happy Ending** The story doesn’t simply end with victory. Families of the suitors seek revenge, and civil conflict threatens Ithaca. Athena intervenes by imposing peace Ends the cycle of violence. 📃📜**Principal ancient sources:** * Homer, *Iliad* * Homer, *Odyssey* * Sophokles, *Ajax*, *Philoktetes* * Euripides, *Hecuba*, *Cyclops* * Ovid, *Metamorphoses* * Virgil, *Aeneid* * Dante Alighieri, *Divina Commedia - Inferno* | | | --- | |

**gelato & awe walk 🍦🌳** (**May 23rd**\, Saturday 14:00 \| **Meeting point:** Kő Fagyi? a Bartókon) **Welcome to the unplugged club Budapest ✨** This Saturday we'll enjoy the nice weather outdoors by grabbing a gelato or a drink of your choice (optional) and going for an awe walk towards the recently reopened Citadella. ***What is an awe walk?*** An awe walk is a brief, intentional stroll where you shift your focus outward to notice and appreciate the beauty, vastness, and wonder of the world around you. Backed by psychology and popularized by researchers, it is a proven mindfulness practice designed to reduce stress and boost your mood. The goal is not to get a workout or run errands, but rather to experience amazement and cultivate a "small self" perspective (the feeling of being connected to something much larger than yourself).

Karin Tidbeck svéd író, és tudja hogy kell disztópiát írni, méghozzá a tundrán egy elszigetelt ipartelepen. Írásában olyan elvárásokat kérdőjelez meg, hogy mennyi információt kell mindenképpen megosztania, hogy még regénynek érezzük ezt a könyvet, mi mindent lehet elhagyni, hogy egy absztrakt műalkotással fejezzen ki valami teljesen egyedit és újat? Amíg a Netflix sorozatok afelé haladnak, hogy mindent szájba rágjanak, mert úgyis mobilt nyomkodsz mellette, itt épp az ellenkezője igaz, mikor az olvasó fantáziája nélkül nem épülhet fel a történet. Lesz min morfondírozni, ha elolvasod ezt a könyvet! ;-)

A **lightsome social evening** to get to know each other and build real connections through funny yet substantial conversations. "**Quality Time**" is a card based social conversational game aimed to **build meaningful connections** between players. It gives simple prompts to answer, such as: - "Would you rather be famous or rich?" - "What could you never forgive?" - "Tell the others the 2 most important sentences about you!" These induce lightsome off-hand conversations about our experiences and preferences, while allowing some self-reflection as well. Join us and get to know others in an unusual yet meaningful way, and let us see some of your colors and enjoy your company! The language of the event will be **english**. Location info: **Másik Szoba Café and Bar** is the underground part of **Élesztőház**. You can find the entry right next to **Élesztő** (to the right, on the street) or upon entering the garden of Élesztő the door to the right (right after the entrance).

We are here to do the opposite!* \-\-\- 👉 **STEP 1:** Register here on MeetUp 👉 **STEP 2:** Get your ticket on [Luma](https://luma.com/6tlaga8h) \-\-\- At the **Women’s Coffee Network**, we offer 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. We created this circle because **we don't believe in the hustle; we believe in the power of a steady anchor.** This is a facilitated experience, not just a meeting. We don’t just book a table; we curate a journey. Working with the precision of a designer and the empathy of a coach, we’ve built this soft sanctuary where **the superficial is skipped** and **the high-fidelity connection begins**. We're here to share personal stories and build professional alliances. **🌟** TOPIC FOR THIS EDITION ​Most professional environments demand a mask of constant performance, leaving little room for the realities of the human behind the title. In this special edition, we are opening the **Black Box** to address the strategic and personal topics the business world often ignores. First, we’ll look inward to reclaim our foundations, navigating the invisible life cycles and health transitions we face in silence. It's about choosing your own rhythm in a world that demands you go faster. We then shift to our impact on the system around us, exploring how our individual acts of grit create a ripple effect that changes the professional landscape for every woman at the table. ​ 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.

Hi ladies. We will meet in front of the Nature Center and head to the two Observation decks. We will then hike Hickory Ridge, Ripple Rock, Overlook and Sugarbush trails to get approximately four miles total distance. We will walk approximately a 18 minute mile pace. Please wear appropriate hiking shoes.

[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations. If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!). **HOW IT WORKS** **Step 1: Bring a topic** Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event. **Step 2: Circle up & share** We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds. **Step 3: Walk, talk & float** We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!" **Step 4: Feel more alive** Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times. *For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)* **HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC** A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about. Recent topics include: * "What are you passionate about right now?" * "What makes a good friend?" * "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?" * "How do you want to be remembered?" * "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?" Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter. **WHAT TO EXPECT** This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.* But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here. **FAQ** * Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk! * We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space. * We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space. * Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know. * Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic! **LOGISTICS** * If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event. * This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs. * There's a restroom along the route at [Tuttle Park Community Center](https://maps.app.goo.gl/KTZJgLE1CrrbRNmJ7), which is about two‑thirds of the way from [Clinton-Como Park](https://maps.app.goo.gl/z8Cx8evwLiWundMe8) to our [turnback point](https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZXk7qUVszLQ8EJxHA). * Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details. * If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋 **IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...** [The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up. * This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries.

We'll get in around 4 miles at Three Creeks Metro Parks, primarily natural trails. 17-18 minute miles, no one left behind, and faster walkers are free to lead out. Optional lunch after! If you're joining for hiking all the metro parks, this is the sixth one!

**Welcome to Drunken Philosophy** a casual, curious social discussion **Optional topic for this meetup: What's up with all the AI hate?** A recent survey found that 74% of Americans have a negative view of AI, and I want to know why. Come out and debate whether AI is good or bad. My hot take: a labor-saving tool that could potentially help cure cancer gets called dangerous because it might raise unemployment or cause a speculative investment bubble, that tells you a lot more about capitalism and the economic system we live under than it does about the tool itself. As a computer programmer, I think AI is a wonderful tool that has increased my productivity by at least an order of magnitude. I'd go so far as to say Claude Code is the best tool I have ever used. Debate me and name a better one. Is AI potentially dangerous? Yes, but so are a lot of tools. Chainsaws. Steam engines (early ones would occasionally explode and kill everyone in the room). Do you think cavemen sat around debating whether fire could be used as a weapon or for self-harm, and decided not to discover it? I have two friends who hate AI for opposite reasons: one thinks it's a fad and not useful, and the other thinks it's going to take over everything and cause human extinction. Come out tonight, have a friendly debate, and make some friends. No lectures. Friendly crowd. Drop in for one drink and stay if it's fun.
