**The ABSOLUTE BEST place to be on a Saturday night in Prague! 🤩🍹** Every Saturday, we take over a stunning venue right in the city center and give you **total freedom to mingle at your own pace**. There’s no hand-holding, name tags, or stiff corporate icebreakers here—just a room full of great people skipping the small talk and **sparking real connections**. ✨ During peak hours, the room gets **TOTALLY MAGNETIC** and sometimes even beautifully chaotic. And to be honest, we love it exactly like this! Bar Nomads is all about pure social flow! ⚡🔥 If that’s your vibe, drop the city masks and dive headfirst into our lovely Hoffa madness. You’ll leave feeling energized, deeply connected, and a little bit more like **a true Praguer.** 😎🤙 📍 **Hoffa Bar:** https://maps.app.goo.gl/HRPxX9ruUHphZ4u37

On Saturday, 27th of June, we’re going to meet and discuss the *The Power of the Powerless* by Václav Havel, an influential book that has become a key text of dissident thought in communist Eastern Europe. Written in 1978, Havel’s book explores how authoritarian systems sustain themselves not only through force, but through conformity, fear, and everyday participation in lies. What does it mean to ‘live within the truth’? Can ordinary people resist oppressive systems, even when they seem powerless? And what forms of responsibility do individuals bear in political life? Although written under late socialism in Czechoslovakia, Havel’s reflections remain strikingly relevant today. How do ideology, bureaucracy, media, and social pressure shape our behaviour? Are modern societies immune to the dynamics Havel describes – or do they simply take different forms? Václav Havel (1936–2011) was a Czech playwright, dissident, political thinker, and statesman. A leading figure of the democratic opposition during communist rule, he later became the last President of Czechoslovakia and the first President of the Czech Republic. *** Anyone is welcome to join! Before the meeting, please read the book (it’s around 100 pages long), think about it, and note any passages you find especially interesting, challenging, or worth discussing. We’ll share our thoughts and interpretations during the meeting.

NOTE THE TIME CHANGE TO 9AM Hi All, Come and join us for social running and a coffee! We meet at the main gate of Vystaviste - tram stop Vystaviste Holesovice. We will run in Stromovka. Usually we run around 50mins and it is up to everyone how many kilometres. We welcome all levels of runner. We can all run together or, if there is more of us, we can split into groups and at the end of the run we all meet close to the starting point to go for a coffee to a nice local coffee place (where they also sell cakes and great chocolate). If the weather is great, we can also just sit in one of the outside coffee placces in Stromovka and enjoy the sun. This is where we meet: http://photos2.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/7/7/3/1/600_447930513.jpeg

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…

!CANCELLED! Hi everyone, due to the extreme heat forecast for Saturday (37°C), I’m postponing our meetup. With the 3pm start time, we’d be traveling right in the hottest part of the day, and I imagine most of you would rather be by the water than in transit or sitting in a café. I will plan for another date when it will be hopefully cooler. This time, we will meet at Spižírna 1902 in Vinohrady, with a small group (4 - 8) of foreigners living in Prague and Czechs who have lived abroad and miss an international environment. If you sign up and can’t make it, please update your RSVP. We are looking forward to meeting you and having coffee together. Please join if you are 35+ and comfortable communicating in English.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to the need of booking canoes in advance, your attendance of this event is only confirmed (!) when you reserve your place on DiscoveringPrague.cz website here: [https://www.discoveringprague.cz/event/lets-canoe-on-sazava-june-28-2026/](https://www.discoveringprague.cz/event/lets-canoe-on-sazava-june-28-2026/) Your RSVP "Going" here on Meetup is appreciated but won't guarantee you a spot. Thank you understanding & cooperation! \*\*\*\*\* Ahoj Discoverers! I’d like to invite you to another relaxing canoeing trip. This time on Sázava, the most popular Czech river. We will run a very scenic river section from Ledečko to the Sázava town, which is known for a monastery and the Kavalier glass-factory. *The trip is suitable for people who haven't canoed before as long as they can swim. You should also be somewhat physically coordinated and have patience to learn a new motor skill!* I'm NOT a certified instructor but I have taught countless people the basics of canoeing. DIFFICULTY: Easy to Medium (depending on the water level on the day) About 12 km / 8 miles. There are 3 weirs\* and some gentle rapids. \* A weir ('jez' in Czech) is a little dam regulating the flow of the river. LOGISTICS We will meet already at **7:45 AM (!)** in front of the main ticket office at the Prague Main Railway Station. We’ll be aiming to be back in Prague by 19:00. However, we will be as fast as the slowest member of our group and an unexpected delay is possible. This is a full-day event. WHAT TO TAKE WITH YOU • Shoes to wear in water (sandals, or you can buy special shoes for walking in water) • Wear clothes which dry fast (NOT jeans) • Sunscreen • Towel and maybe some spare clothes (in case your canoe capsizes) • Swimwear • Bottle of water and a small snack. • Put all your staff to a small compact bag – we will put all our belongings into water-proof barrels and they are not very large. You need to be prepared for a possibility of the boat flipping (capsizing). Keep your phone in a waterproof case and have glasses on a string while on the river! \*\*\*\*\* PRICE: 950 CZK (Includes train fare both ways, equipment rental and myself as your guide and organizer) Food&drink is not included. To be confirmed on the trip, you have to (!) book your place on Discovering Prague & CZ website here: [https://www.discoveringprague.cz/event/lets-canoe-on-sazava-june-28-2026/](https://www.discoveringprague.cz/event/lets-canoe-on-sazava-june-28-2026/) \*\*\*\*\* You can also pay with benefit cards or vouchers!

We have a great little community of Movie Group friends so rather than see a movie this time, we’ll help “Create a better world” by helping serve those in need. NOTE: We’re switching it up this time and going with a DINNER shift on Mon, 7/6. Here are complete details and our plan for this event: FAITH MISSION – GRANT KITCHEN: The Faith Mission kitchen and dining room serves residents 3 meals a day, every day of the year. For this event, our group will help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents in the dining room, wash dishes, and clean surfaces. PLAN: We will be preparing / serving / cleaning for DINNER from 4:30 to 6:30pm and have space for a total of 7 volunteers. Please arrive at 4:20pm and wear closed-toe shoes and long pants. LOCATION: Faith Mission – Grant Kitchen is located at 245 N. Grant Ave. Enter the kitchen at Dock 1 (in the back of the building), indicated in the attached map. On-site parking in the adjacent lot and street parking are available in the surrounding area. Below are some links / attachments with additional info/details: IMPORTANT REMINDER: Our group will be providing all of the volunteers on this day so a firm RSVP count is essential. Please only sign up if you are certain you’ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please try to update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. With few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve. Our Partner Agency for this event is Lutheran Social Services! A huge THANK YOU to those volunteering at this (or any of our previous or future) CMG Gives Back events! Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
