Hi everyone! I’m Fede, founder of **BA Coworking Cafe**—a professional networking and co-working community based in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Over the past two years, we’ve hosted more than 30 events, bringing together remote workers, freelancers, and entrepreneurs. I’ll be traveling through Europe this summer and will be spending some time here in Budapest. I’d love to host a casual networking meetup while I'm in town! The idea is simple: meet up at a local cafe, grab some coffee, do a bit of co-working, and connect with fellow professionals—whether you're a local, an expat, or a digital nomad. And who knows? If the vibe is right, it could be the perfect spark to kick off a Budapest branch of our community! Looking forward to connecting and meeting you all soon! ☕🚀

The goal of meditation and all yoga is reconnection with the Higher Consciousness. I will explain the technique, then we will meditate for 10 minutes and then chat. The event is free.

*“If a being suffers, there can be no moral justification for refusing to take that suffering into consideration.”* *―* Peter Singer - Animal Liberation **Session in english! Also available on [consciouspass.com](https://consciouspass.com/activity/philosophy-session-veganism-environment-health-and-ethics-2026-07-02/) for Karma Points.** According to Nature.com there is evidence of humans eating meat over 2,5 million years ago. But modern industrial societies have created a new ethical dilemma: is eating meat a viable human choice, or a moral issue? In this session we will explore the philosophy of veganism and the question of whether animals deserve moral consideration comparable to humans. We will examine different perspectives through anthropology, nutrition, environmental and moral arguments. Does meat consumption play a necessary role in health? Are plant-based diets morally clean? What is best for the environment and health? How much should biology influence ethics? The discussion will also explore the moral arguments around animal suffering and responsibility, including ideas from thinkers such as Peter Singer and his critique of “speciesism” — the idea that belonging to a different species alone should not determine the value of a being’s interests. The goal is not to reach an agreement, but to challenge our assumptions about food, morality, nature, and the relationship between humans and other animals. **Introduction of guests (15 minutes)** We start with a short introduction of the topic and of the guests * Are you a vegan or vegetarian? for what reason? **Questions (1 hour and 45 minutes)** **Veganism and enviroment** * Is it true that kettle producing is massively environmentally harmful? 1. Plant food going to kettle food 2. Land allocation 3. Water footprint 4. CO2 footprint * The paradox between small scale and large scale. Large scale is cheaper, accessible and environmentally more efficient, but animals are generally in worst conditions. * A tale about methane from wasted food. **Veganism and health** 1. Some statistics: growth of veganism. 2. If eating meat improves health outcomes for some people or populations, does that create a moral justification to continue eating meat? 3. Should moral choices about food depend on scientific certainty? (Example: nutrition science changes frequently — how much evidence is enough?) 4. Is choosing a vegan diet a personal health decision, or should it become an ethical obligation? 5. If lab-grown meat becomes identical to animal meat but without killing animals, would both vegans and meat eaters accept the change? **Anthropology** 1. If humans are naturally omnivores, does that justify eating meat? (“natural” vs “morally acceptable”) 2. Many traditional cultures hunted animals while also showing deep respect toward them. Is there a possibility to mimic this in our modern world? 3. Humans carry the full moral responsibility compared to other species, how sustainable is that? 4. Is having cats and dogs morally acceptable? **The moral questions:** 1. Peter Singer argues that suffering matters regardless of species. If an animal can suffer, why should its suffering count less than human suffering? 2. Is “speciesism” comparable to other forms of discrimination, where we privilege our own group? 3. If we would never accept another intelligent species farming humans for food, why do we accept farming animals? *** **RSVP:** Please confirm your attendance here on Meetup OR [consciouspass.com](https://consciouspass.com/activity/philosophy-session-veganism-environment-health-and-ethics-2026-07-02/) (get Karma Points for assisting!). In both cases, yield your space to another person in the waiting list. We welcome donations from 1.000 HUF (min 400 HUF) to keep the costs of the meetup. **If you order food (vegetarian and vegan available), or alcohol-free wines, you dont need to donate for the group. Thank you!**

Welcome to Gradient Hiking ∇, where every trail brings fresh air, beautiful landscapes, and a sense of direction. Join us to stay active, enjoy nature, and share the experience with a friendly community. Come hike with us for movement, connection, and time well spent outdoors. It's that time of the year again, when mere existence becomes an unending challenge of enduring inhumane temperatures, or simply known as summer. Luckily, there is a solution where we can still go hiking, and not be boiled alive: doing it at night. This of course comes at the cost of not being able to fully see the beauty of nature. Our destination will be close to Budapest, so we can admire the artificial glow of the city, and also get to use convenient public transport to go home afterwards, which is not a given in most other places late at night. 📅 **Meeting Time and Place** 2026-07-04 20:30, Saturday, at [Normafa, Gyermekvasút bus stop](https://maps.app.goo.gl/F9Sv4GLKofaxaFC79). 🗺️ **The Walk** [Full track here](https://turistautak.openstreetmap.hu/mentettutv-1782501236epcf). 7 km, 170 m descent, 280 m elevation, 2.5 hours. Easy difficulty. Most elevation is at the end, when temperatures decrease. We'll start from Normafa at sunset, to avoid the major heatwave, and descend to Tündér-szikla, catching a view of Budapest in the last rays of sunlight. Then we'll head into the dark forest and walk without seeing much of anything, as is typical at night, until we reach Kaán Károly-kilátó, where a spectacular panorama filled with city lights awaits us. We'll take the bus from Szépjuhászné back. After the hike, around 11 PM, I invite you to grab a drink at a bar near Széll Kálmán tér. 🎒 **Bring** \- Drinking water\. \- Comfortable shoes and clothes for a walk in nature\. It could still be 30\+ degrees unfortunately\. \- A light\. Don't use your phone's flash\, as that would drain the battery\. I have a few extra I can lend\. A maximum of 15 people can attend. Let me know if you're joining. Please also let me know by Friday if you need to cancel. See you in nature.

Open Dharma Budapest is a friendly meditation sangha for anyone interested in meditation. Every Sunday we gather for 1–1.5 hours at a local tea house to sit together, share, and support each other on the path.

We explore a range of techniques rooted in Theravāda Buddhism, with a modern and pragmatic approach - open to both seasoned practitioners and complete beginners. Your host: Sessions are hosted by Maria East, a long-term practitioner of Theravāda, Vajrayāna, and Dzogchen, with over 10 silent retreats over the last 5 years. Maria is also a clinical psychologist in training, who is happy to offer additional support if practice brings up anything challenging.
