Large Scale Scrum

The Men’s Circle of Excellence Gathering, for men who seek truth, mastery, and a life beyond mediocrity. The goal is simple: to support each other in mastering mind and spirit, breaking free from comfort, and moving toward excellence in every area of life. Modern life offers endless distractions but little real connection. Too often, men walk the path of self-development alone, or struggle against the negative pull of today’s society. The Men’s Circle of Excellence was created to change that: to bring support, accountability, challenge, and community energy. We gather in person to share openly, confront fears, and inspire one another to reach higher. Here, power is rooted in virtue, strength is balanced with empathy, and ambition is guided by wisdom. How it works: • Welcome & introductions: Meet new members and reconnect with familiar faces. • Open sharing: Each man speaks about his current challenges, fears, or obstacles. • Honest reflections: The group responds with insight and encouragement. • Connection Time: After the circle, we'll have extra time to relax, talk, and build friendships. Recommendation: • Before the event, take some time to think about your current situation and what to bring into the circle. Limited to max. 8 men per gathering to keep the space focused, personal, and meaningful. Confirm your attendance to reserve your spot.

*“Countries fail when extractive institutions fail to protect property rights and provide incentives for investment.”* *―* Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson - Why Nations Fail “*Ultimate explanations for broad patterns of history must be sought in environmental differences*.” *―* Jared Diamond - Guns, Germs, and Steel “*If we learn anything from the history of economic development, it is that culture makes all the difference*.” *―* David Landes - The Wealth and Poverty of Nations “*The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles*.” *―* Karl Marx - Capital: Critique of Political Economy **Session in english! Also available on [consciouspass.com](https://consciouspass.com/activity/philosophy-session-why-nations-thrive-conquer-or-fail-2026-06-04/) for Karma Points.** Why do some nations become rich, powerful and technologically dominant, while others stagnate, collapse or become colonized? This session is inspired by sometimes contradicting ideas and hypotheses from: * *Why Nations Fail* — by Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson * *The Wealth and Poverty of Nations* — by David Landes * *Guns, Germs, and Steel* — by Jared Diamond * Materialist interpretations of history from Karl Marx * *Spain in front of Europe* \- ideas from Gustavo Bueno on empire and civilization\. **You do NOT need to have read any of the books**. The goal is not literary analysis, but philosophical confrontation between ideas. Of course, if any of the books is familiar to you or you like history, don't miss the session! We want to put into conflict some of the strongest explanations in history, economics and philosophy about the main drivers behind the success and failures of nations. *Is it geography? resources? institutions? culture/ religion? colonial dynamics? class emancipation? just luck?* **Introduction of guests (15 minutes)** We start with a short introduction of the topic and of the guests * Which main driver do you think has the most influence on the outcome for a nation? **Questions (1 hour and 45 minutes)** 1. Why did Europe industrialize before regions closer to Equator line? - 2. Can geography permanently trap nations? 3. If geography is destiny, how do we explain: North vs South Korea, or US vs Mexico? 4. Why did industrial capitalism emerge specifically in Protestant Northern Europe? 5. What is more important, “social trust”, or natural resources? 6. Is corruption cultural before institutional? 7. Can there be more extractive empires and more generative empires? 8. Was the Spanish Empire uniquely oppressive, or is it judged under Anglo-Protestant standards? 9. Why did Spanish America produce large mestizo populations while British colonies often remained more segregated? 10. Did the British Empire produce prosperity because of institutions — or because Britain industrialized first? 11. Why did Britain industrialize before Spain despite Spain’s enormous imperial wealth and institutional solidity? 12. Did empires help to civilize conquered nations, or mainly extract wealth and keep populations poor? 13. Were the Spanish as extractive as the British, Dutch, Portuguese or Belgians? Which European institutions promoted slavery and elimination of local populations and which fought against it? 14. Did capitalism require colonial oppression and slavery to emerge? 15. Or was colonial expansion itself a consequence of unequal development? 16. Are institutions genuine structures of cooperation, or masks for underlying economic power? 17. Did European powers become rich because they were more advanced — or become advanced because they extracted more? 18. If socialist states rejected colonial capitalism, why did many become authoritarian and economically stagnant? 19. Were socialist systems create what Acemoglu would call “extractive institutions”? 20. Is the United States more a generative empire, or more an extractive empire? *** **RSVP:** Please confirm your attendance here on Meetup OR [consciouspass.com](https://consciouspass.com/activity/philosophy-session-why-nations-thrive-conquer-or-fail-2026-06-04/) (get Karma Points for assisting!).

[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.

Every Saturday at 8:00 PM, we gather in the city to share languages, cultures, and conversations. [[Click this whatsapp groupchat link to join](https://chat.whatsapp.com/CrJ7hXrYgckCM0f1D4kRUZ)] Our group is made up of friendly 20s–30s people — locals, expats, and travelers alike — who come together to meet new people and explore different ways of thinking. Whether you’re new to Budapest or call it home, this meetup is your chance to connect in a relaxed, open-minded space. Join us to swap stories, practice new languages, and build genuine friendships across cultures.

We are recruiting new group leaders for virtual men's groups! Our primary groups are outdoor movement groups, but we are launching virtual groups for the state of Ohio and beyond and the groups will move outside in the spring, creating room for men's groups, women's groups and coed groups all over the country. Read below to learn about our groups and click the links at the bottom to apply. ### **What is an Outdoor Empowerment Group?** Our Outdoor Movement & Community Empowerment Groups are simple, guided experiences designed to help people reconnect with nature, themselves, and others. We combine some form of movement (hike, walk, run, bike, yoga, workout) and meaningful conversation within a simple community circle to create a space where individuals can support each other while prioritizing mental and physical well-being. Whether you’re seeking stress relief, personal growth, or community, our groups offer everyone a unique and welcoming environment. ## **Why Join?** * **Improve Mental & Physical Well-Being** – Movement, nature, and supportive conversations reduce stress and promote balance. * **Feel Less Alone** – Build genuine connections with like-minded people in a safe, welcoming space. * **Gain Clarity & Perspective** – Step outside daily routines and into a space designed for personal growth and reflection. ## **The Ideal Group Leader** The ideal group leader * Has a born-in passion for mental health, movement, connecting with nature and building community. * Has 5 extra hours per week to dedicate to a meaningful cause for at least one year. Yes, you can leave any organization at any time and we can also ask you to leave, but we are building with legacy in mind and we need people who can commit and be ALL IN on this mission to build with us. * Is independently financially stable with the ability to volunteer with no expectation of pay. This is a deeply beautiful journey of service that all participants commit to at Speak Your Mind. * An ability to manage groups with high emotional intelligence and desire for human connection. * An ability to self-motivate and market/promote their group on Facebook and other social platforms. * Nature informed therapy or clinical therapists/psychologists a plus. ## **Our Impact**  Since launching, we have helped thousands find support, connection, and healing through our Outdoor Movement Groups. 100% of participants surveyed have reported: * A noticeable improvement in mental clarity and emotional well-being. * An increase in social connection and a sense of belonging. * Said they would return again. We believe mental health should be accessible, community-driven, and rooted in nature. Join us and take the first step toward a more connected, grounded, and supported version of yourself. ### **Why Our Groups are Donation-Based** Our Outdoor Movement Groups are made possible through a donation-based model. This approach allows us to keep our events accessible to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances, while also ensuring that we can continue expanding our reach. It’s a great way to pay it forward and support the growth of this beautiful mission! Every contribution helps us: * **Cover Essential Costs** – Donations allow us to pay essential legal, marketing, insurance, and admin costs as well as nourish the important people who run the organization. * **Grow Our Mission** – With your support, we can bring these healing experiences to thousands more people in the future and execute our long term plan to expand across the USA, affecting up to 500,000 people per year. By choosing to contribute, you’re not just leading an event—you’re helping build a mental health movement that supports long-term well-being and connection for all during a severe mental health epidemic. ## **Come Join Us!** We’d love to have you be part of this growing community of people prioritizing their mental health, movement, and connection. 🔹 **Visit Our Website to Learn More:** https://speakyourmind.men/joinusoutside 🔹 **Apply Here to Lead Your Own Group!** – https://form.jotform.com/taketimespeakyourmind/sym-group-leader-application 🔹 **Support the mission**: If you resonate with the mission and want to support, feel free to join a group before applying or donate to help us reach our goals to help more people!
