Paradise Lost: Books IX-X - The Fall
Paradise Lost: Books IX-X - The Fall
This session turns to the epicenter of Milton’s poem: temptation, choice, and consequence. In Books IX and X, the Fall finally unfolds, and with it the unraveling of innocence, intimacy, and cosmic order. We’ll read closely and ask difficult questions. What actually changes in Adam and Eve? Is the Fall a tragedy, a liberation, or something more complicated? Where does responsibility truly lie? And how does Milton want us to judge - or not judge - what happens? As always, this is a shared inquiry discussion. No lectures, no summaries. Just careful reading, real questions, and collective thinking around the table. Come ready to wrestle with the text.

Open philosophical discussion in the heart of Prague
Open philosophical discussion in the heart of Prague
Welcome to the international Café Philo in Prague. We meet every first Saturday of the month in the cosy [Café MillÚme](https://store11473398.ecwid.com) in the center of Prague. We choose a participant randomly, by lottery, who then has the privilege to determine the topic of our discussion. We will reflect, ponder and exchange arguments until our brains are on fire. Philosophy isn't just something for universities, it is a way to open your mind to new thoughts and questions. No application is necessary, there is no entrance fee and there are no prerequisites for participating, except curiosity and respect for other people. We meet from 17:15 until 18:45 to follow together the white rabbit into the wonderland of philosophy... More information about me under this [link](https://sophonautik.ch/english/).
Dialogues #33 - Topic: Communities - The Role of  Religion/Spirituality
Dialogues #33 - Topic: Communities - The Role of Religion/Spirituality
In a world full of opinions, noise, and quick reactions, we often miss spaces for real dialogue — for slowing down, listening, and connecting with one another. This evening is an invitation to do exactly that. Join us for an open and friendly evening (in English & free of charge) dedicated to Communities - The Role of Religion/Spirituality. We will brainstorm together in an Open Space–style format, where participants choose topics themselves about what we want to discuss from this broad topic - questions to help you get inspired: What is the difference between spirituality and religion? Is religion the apex of community? How do we interact with the idea of spirituality and religion? Afterwards, participants will form small groups to explore the questions and insights around the topics 18:00 – Doors open 18:15 – Introduction & topic selection 18:40 - We start discussions 19:40 - Closing session (sharing activities) 20:00 - Networking & Connect What to expect: A welcoming space for newcomers and regulars alike Be slightly pushed to socialize Open, participant-led small-group discussions on diverse perspectives No expertise required — everyone’s opinion matters! Safe, respectful, and judgment-free conversations More about sharing and reflecting than debating or convincing No pressure to speak — listening is just as valuable Not a lecture, not a debate club, and definitely not intimidating! Feel free to bring some snacks to share! Friendly dogs are welcome! If you are a regular that appreciate us and can help, or a newcomer who enjoyed the evening, and wants to help, we have recently set a Patreon page where you can support us! https://www.patreon.com/cw/EarthSocietyDialogues
Naked Minds: Life Audit
Naked Minds: Life Audit
**Naked Minds: Life Audit** **See where you truly stand & decide what’s next** Launch price: 399 CZK (regular price: 1,499 CZK) You need to register and buy [Tickets here](https://www.tixtree.com/e/life-audit-see-where-you-stand-dab2b4801eb5) Most people don’t feel stuck because they lack motivation. They feel stuck because they never clearly see where they actually are. Life Audit is a structured evening designed to help you pause and take an honest look at your current reality. Where do you truly stand right now? In your work. Your relationships. Your energy. Your direction. You won’t be pushed to “reinvent your life.” You will **see clearly. Choose consciously.** No hype. No gurus. No forced positivity. **Just clarity, ownership, and a next step that makes sense.** **WHAT THIS EVENT IS ABOUT** Your life moves in the direction of what you repeatedly choose — consciously or not. At Life Audit, you will: * Evaluate where you currently stand across the key areas of your life * Identify what feels aligned — and what doesn’t * Gain clarity on what is working and what is draining you * Define what you actually want next * Create a simple, realistic path forward This is not about pressure. It’s about awareness that leads to better decisions. **WHAT YOU’LL WALK AWAY WITH** * A clear snapshot of your current life * Honest insight into your reality * A defined next direction * Concrete action steps tailored to you * Shared momentum from people who take growth seriously You won’t leave “inspired.” You’ll leave clear. This is about implementation, not information. **HOW IT FEELS** Grounded. Honest. Clear. Like stepping back and seeing your life from above — without judgment, without drama. **See clearly. Choose consciously.** No pressure. No shame. Just clarity and forward motion. **WHO THIS EVENT IS FOR** This is for you if you: * Want clarity about where you stand * Feel slightly off-track or drifting * Are ready to stop postponing decisions * Want growth that fits real life * Prefer grounded structure over motivation hype If you’re ready to stop drifting and start choosing your path 
 this is for you. **WHAT THIS IS 
 AND ISN’T** This is not a motivational talk. No yelling. No toxic positivity. No “just try harder.” Life Audit is a structured Naked Minds experience designed to help you see your life clearly — and move forward intentionally.

Humanist Program: Fighting the Efforts to Insert Religion into Public Education
Humanist Program: Fighting the Efforts to Insert Religion into Public Education
The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event. Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Our March speakers are Molly Gaines and Zack Parrish, co-organizers of the Secular Education Association: They will share their story of how a small group of Ohio parents grew into a national organization tracking released-time religious instruction and other church–state issues in public schools. The presentation will cover SEA’s early wins and hard lessons, what we’re seeing nationally right now, and how local advocates can play a meaningful role in protecting public education. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of the landscape — and practical ways to get involved. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid.
