A Day Without Your Phone — Mindful Hike
10.2 km with gentle ascents and descents (+208 / –367 m). Suitable for almost everyone.
Mindfulness is the ability to be present in the moment and experience life more fully. It makes life richer, brighter, and filled with simple pleasures.
In everyday life, we constantly switch between our phones, work, and thoughts about the future. On this hike, we'll try spending the day differently: without phones, without rushing, and without unnecessary noise.
We'll pay more attention to the nature around us, our own feelings, and simply give our minds a chance to rest.
There will be mindfulness exercises, periods of silence, time for reflection, and, for those who wish, meditation.
Phones stay in our backpacks and won't come out until the end of the hike. If you'd like photos, I'll take them for you and send them afterward.
We'll cook lunch together on a camping stove along the way.
**Price:** 14,500 HUF
**Lunch included.**
Prepayment is required (Revolut, Wise, bank transfer, cash).

Beginner/Intermediate Guitar Class
Looking forward to see you again this Sunday!
Tea and sweets are served right after the class to socialize and chat about random things. And of course I'm ready to answer your questions.
**General description of the class:**
Our class is open both for complete beginners, as well as intermediate players who want to level up their skills.
We will have enough time to cover the basics (for newcomers), discuss what we would like to improve and get playing! I also speak Hungarian, so if there is anyone who doesn’t understand English, I will translate on the go.
Any newcomers are welcome and I will help you to get started and develop together with others.
**What to bring:**
* A pen and notebook, so you can take notes as needed.
* Guitar (if you don't have one, you can use mine during the class, but definitely you should get a guitar later if you want to learn guitar properly).
This event is totally **free of charge**, **but I appreciate donations, which helps me, the organizer, to cover the bills. Recommended donation: 2,500 HUF.**
Feel free to **bring your friends**. We have enough space!
**I recommend joining our Telegram channel** to get notified about announcements or any cancellations: https://t.me/budapestGuitarClub

Rainbow Body Yoga – Level 1 Weekend Course with Amrita Rani
Rainbow Body Yoga – Level 1 Online Course
We warmly invite you to join the Rainbow Body Yoga Level 1 Course, a transformative practice from the Open Heart tradition. The course is taught by Amrita Rani, an ordained sangha member and trained Open Heart instructor.
You are welcome to join either in person in Zgornje Gorje, Slovenia, or online via Zoom.
Rainbow Body Yoga is a profound tantric non-meditation practice designed to deconstruct the selfing mechanism of the mind. Through the Guru mantras of Padmasambhava and Yeshe Tsogyal, subtle energy practices, and dynamic concentration, we cut through self-based energies that block the direct recognition of our natural state.
Although regarded within the tradition as a post-awakening purification practice, you do not need to be awakened to begin. The practice itself deepens recognition of the selfless state, supporting further awakenings and the maturation of clarity. Both those who have experienced awakening shifts and those who feel called to deepen their spiritual path are warmly welcome.
This carefully structured sequence works directly with the causal body, where self-based energies are stored. We examine the klesha of ignorance (avidya), the root of existential suffering. With the Guru’s blessings, RBY techniques, and vipashyana (direct seeing), even the subtlest layers of selfing can be cut through.
As the practice deepens, you become familiar with the clarity and aliveness of your enlightened mind. Eventually, you recognize that wakeful awareness has always been present, even within negative thoughts and emotions.
As mental clutter dissolves into the natural state, increased clarity brings deep healing. Self-sabotaging patterns can be liberated, and the energy once consumed by worry and rumination becomes available to you.
Practiced consistently, Rainbow Body Yoga reveals the natural luminosity of selfless awareness and leads toward the realization of emptiness, not as a concept, but as a living experience.
These precious practices were given to Amrita Baba by Padmasambhava through visionary transmission, offering a direct path beyond self-based suffering.
Level 1 provides a grounded and systematic introduction, enabling you to continue confidently with your home practice. The process is powerful, deeply rewarding, and often brings tangible results relatively quickly.
You’re welcome to join either of the weekend courses, or both, if you wish. However, attending just one weekend is already enough to begin practicing on your own.
First Weekend Course
📅 20–21 June 2026
🕒 3:00–9:00 pm (CET)
Dinner break approximately 6:00–7:30 pm each day
Participation fee:
Sliding scale €100–200, depending on your financial situation.
Please make your payment in advance via PayPal to: kaisaeskeli@gmail.com
Register by emailing Amrita Rani at kaisaeskeli@gmail.com. You will receive the Zoom link for all sessions. If you are joining in person, you will receive the address of the event location in Zgornje Gorje, Slovenia.
Welcome all!

Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code - Alan Barber
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
*Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code*
Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. 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.

AI in Application Security Panel Discussion
**AI in Application Security Panel Discussion**
(note - this will replace the June meeting)
Join the OWASP St. Louis Chapter on July 7th for an open panel discussion on how AI is reshaping application security. From AI-assisted code review and automated vulnerability discovery to the new attack surfaces introduced by LLMs and AI agents, this is a conversation that touches everyone in the industry—whether you're a developer, security practitioner, or just trying to keep up with the pace of change.
Our panelists will explore the practical and the provocative: Where does AI genuinely help defenders? Where does it create new risk? How are real teams adopting these tools, and what's hype versus reality?
This session is built around *your* participation. Come with your questions, your war stories, and your ideas. The best part of these discussions is what the room brings, so don't be shy—bring your curiosity and let's dig in together.
**What to Expect**
* Introductions and Updates on chapter events and engagement ideas
* Panel Discussion
(\* OWASP does not endorse or recommend commercial products or services, allowing our community to remain vendor neutral with the collective wisdom of the best minds in software security)
