Consciousness

FULL - do not register! We will meet at Café Místo in Dejvice, with a small group (4 - 8) of foreigners living in Prague and Czechs who have lived abroad and miss an international environment. I’ll be there a few minutes early, so just look for a small group speaking English. If you don’t see us, you can ask the staff. If you sign up and can’t make it, please update your RSVP. If there are already 8 attendees registered, please do not sign up. We are looking forward to meeting you and having coffee together. Please join if you are 35+ and comfortable communicating in English.

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…

Join us for the first Symposium of the season to usher in the coming of Spring! 🌞🌻🌳 In antiquity, a symposium was a gathering of friends who came together to recline around a shared table, where wine and conversation flowed freely into the night. Together, they would choose a topic and take turns speaking, listening, and laughing—guided by the rhythms of drink and dialogue. Inspired by this tradition, our Symposium has no set theme. It's an invitation to come together with other curious minds, to offer up questions or ideas, and to vote together on where to begin. Whether you're hungry for connection or simply seeking space to speak and be heard, you're warmly welcomed to join the conversation. Symposium will meet in parks throughout Prague, embracing the sunshine and pleasant weather while we have it. Bring a blanket or something to sit on. There’s no cost to join, but please bring a snack or drink to share, if you're able. Most of all, bring a curious mind and a willingness to learn from the insight of others. Feel free to bring a friend or two--also, children and friendly dogs are welcome! \*\*\* If the weather doesn't cooperate, we'll try to find an alternate venue—so keep an eye on the event chat or your email for updates. Also, despite the origins of the Symposium, our goal is not necessarily to get drunk and the organizer would encourage you not to come with that sole purpose in mind. :) The first 45 minutes of the event will be dedicated to simply getting to know one another, and we highly encourage you to join for this part. We will then vote whether to continue free conversation, to join together in a single conversation, or to split up into multiple groups. Afterwards, you’re welcome to stay or follow onto any spontaneous activity that unfolds. A note on attendance: If you need to cancel, please do so at least a few days in advance and update your RSVP accordingly. This helps honor the host’s efforts and makes space for others who would like to attend. Repeated last-minute cancellations or no-shows may result in being placed on the waitlist for future events.

early bird price till 17.05 - 350, 18-22.05 - 450, 23.05 - 600 CZK **Have you ever heard of a cuddle party? 🫂** It's a structured, non-sexual event where people come together to experience safe, consensual touch - hugging, holding hands, lying next to each other, or simply being in the same space with others Nobody expects anything from you. Just a guided environment where physical closeness is treated with care and clear boundaries The event is led by a facilitator who walks everyone through the rules of consent before anything begins - how to ask, how to say no, and how to receive a no without it being a big deal. There are warm-up exercises to help people settle in, followed by free time where participants choose for themselves how and with whom they want to interact. The evening closes with a short reflection circle **Who is this for?** People who miss physical closeness and don't have much of it in their daily lives. People who want to practice saying no - or hearing it - without it feeling like rejection. People who feel anxious around strangers and want a safe space to work through that slowly. People who are simply curious about this kind of experience. You don't need any particular reason to come **Who should probably skip this one?** If you're going through a serious mental health crisis right now, it's worth waiting until you're in a more stable place - this kind of event can bring up a lot. If you're coming with the hope of romantic or sexual connection, this isn't the right space for that. And if receiving a "no" from someone feels genuinely distressing to you, it might be worth exploring that with a therapist before joining The exact address will be shared privately - for the safety and privacy of all participants If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comments. And if you'd like to come - just drop me a message 🤗 [Rules for the event ](https://facebook.com/events/s/cuddle-party-women-only-70526-/2167801243987301/)

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

An unexpected release I will remember for my whole life. A soundscape for the soul that floats on the clouds... that's what I feel when I listen to it, when profound musicianship is accompanied by the heart. But please, Lord, let me float a bit more: *You break the fall, I am your Paradise,* *I wanted to leave, and nobody can hold my hand,* *If you have a heart, I am your Paradise,* *I wanted to leave and never go back...* Prague Metal Meeting will forever be grateful for these people who, across great distances, diminish pain, suffering, and loneliness... forever grateful. We will be patiently waiting for a moment when we'll have a chance to promote this beautiful and healing music. I believe...

Do you have a personal project you've been meaning to work on but never quite find the energy for during the week? 🌸 ...Writing a book, painting, experimenting with AI, making videos, learning something new, building something you've been putting off ...whatever it is, bring it along! Join us for a relaxed **Saturday co-work session** where we simply sit together, work on our own things and enjoy the company of other women doing the same. ☕ It doesn't have to be AI related at all, though it absolutely can be! And who knows, maybe we'll exchange some ideas along the way, maybe AI can help with something, maybe not :). Maybe the best thing that happens is just getting something done in good company. Sometimes all we need is a little accountability and a warm space to finally make progress on the things that matter to us. 💜 See you there! :)

**Welcome to Drunken Philosophy** a casual, curious social discussion **Optional topic for this meetup: What's up with all the AI hate?** A recent survey found that 74% of Americans have a negative view of AI, and I want to know why. Come out and debate whether AI is good or bad. My hot take: a labor-saving tool that could potentially help cure cancer gets called dangerous because it might raise unemployment or cause a speculative investment bubble, that tells you a lot more about capitalism and the economic system we live under than it does about the tool itself. As a computer programmer, I think AI is a wonderful tool that has increased my productivity by at least an order of magnitude. I'd go so far as to say Claude Code is the best tool I have ever used. Debate me and name a better one. Is AI potentially dangerous? Yes, but so are a lot of tools. Chainsaws. Steam engines (early ones would occasionally explode and kill everyone in the room). Do you think cavemen sat around debating whether fire could be used as a weapon or for self-harm, and decided not to discover it? I have two friends who hate AI for opposite reasons: one thinks it's a fad and not useful, and the other thinks it's going to take over everything and cause human extinction. Come out tonight, have a friendly debate, and make some friends. No lectures. Friendly crowd. Drop in for one drink and stay if it's fun.

Communication is everything in life! You are only as successful as your ability to communicate. \- What if you could confidently talk to anyone? \- What if you had the ability to calmly control every conversation? \- What if you could close that sale\, ask for that date\, make new friends\, repair problematic relationships\, get that raise\, or effortlessly express any idea with confidence? You can! The secret to success relies on your ability or inability to effectively communicate. Attend a free seminar and gain a better ability to communicate. 1266 Dublin Road, Columbus, OH 43215 Hosted by the Church of Scientology of Central Ohio For more information, contact Rhiannon, the Event Host at 614-221-5024

Feeling down? Sometimes depressed? Can't focus? Negativity & stress? Recent losses? Creativity in career and personal life hindered by mental blocks? Sometimes we never fully recover from traumatic experiences. Whether it was yesterday, last week or a year ago, traumatic experiences - a loss of a loved one, losing a job, a breakup - can leave you scarred. You talk about it and feel a little better, but it never goes away. After you hang up the phone, it's still there; the sadness, the cloud, the over-thinking, the worry, the guilt. You try to focus, but you're blocked. You try to look forward into new experiences, new relationships but a cloud is hanging over you, casting a shadow on what you once considered a bright, cheerful future. What happened to your courage? Your strength of character? You're 'why not' attitude? Whoever said 'time heals' must have had a special time machine, because after weeks, months, years, you're wondering - when exactly does that kick in? Sometimes it seems like drinking or drugs are the way to go. But they wear off, and now the problem is still there with added side effects from the drugs. At this free local Meetup event we will talk about: * What causes grief, anxiety and depression to become chronic. * Is it possible to regain your joy and happiness even after traumatic experiences? * How to break away from negativity and focus on the future * What are the steps to take to get control of your mind and your emotions? Learn about a safe, gentle, do-it-yourself counseling that can be done in the comfort of your own home. Let's explore safe, effective solutions for healing from traumatic experiences. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to the event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center.
