Consciousness

Would you like to know more about the tantric approach and add more depth to your sexual life but don’t know where to start? Would you like to deepen the relationship with yourself or with your partner? Or maybe you just want to be able to talk about these topics openly with like-minded people? I created Eros Reading Circle because I believe erotica nowadays is very misunderstood. Fast satisfaction is the preferred way on societal level. There are plenty of negative emotions – shame, guilt, low self worth – attached to the topic of pleasure in the collective and also on the individual level. The past few years I dedicated to self-exploration and the broadening of my horizon when it comes to depths of pleasure and living the tantric approach. We gather every three weeks in a cozy tearoom in the heart of Prague (near I.P. Pavlova). You don’t need to join every time. You can attend only one session or more – each time we will cover a different topic. We don’t read full books. When you book your spot, you will receive an email with the text for the upcoming circle and 2-3 reflection prompts. We usually cover one chapter, 10 to 30 pages (written in English). You are asked to read the chapter before the session. All genders, singles and couples are welcome. Our readings explore erotica, pleasure, tantra, ecstasy, desire and the polarity of masculine and feminine energies. Some sessions focus on men’s sexuality, others on women’s, and some on pleasure as a whole. During each circle, we begin with a short grounding practice, share what resonated or didn’t, engage in discussion and end with a closing reflection. Eros Reading Circle is for you: - If you are desiring to have a more conscious sexual life - If you want to deepen your relationship to self (and to your partner) - If you would love to attract a partner who complements you - If you would like to connect and exchange ideas with like-minded people - If you want to experiment with new practices, try new things - If you would like to leave behind negative imprints attached to your sexuality - If you are interested to learn about pleasure from a more spiritual or philosophical aspect - If you have wondered what tantra is and how could you apply it in your own life - If you would love to join a circle of book lovers but can’t commit to reading long books When? 19th February, 19.00-21.30 Where?

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…

Breathwork Ceremony: Clearing & Cleaning is a guided, embodied breathwork session focused on releasing physical and emotional tension that has been stored in the body. Through conscious breathing, music, and facilitated presence, the practice supports the nervous system in slowing down and letting go of accumulated stress, pressure, and inner holding. Rather than analysing or talking things through, the body is given space to release and reset in its own way. This ceremony is especially supportive at times when you feel overloaded, tense, or disconnected from your body, and when rest alone doesn’t feel sufficient. What to Expect • A gently guided breathwork journey supported by music • Conscious breathing working directly with the nervous system • Space for physical and emotional release • A calm, held group environment • Time to rest and integrate after the practice Each experience is individual. Some people feel deep relaxation, others notice emotional release, clarity, or a sense of lightness. There is no right or wrong way to experience the practice. Who This Is For • Open to all genders • Suitable for beginners and those familiar with breathwork • Supportive for stress, emotional load, and nervous system regulation • No prior experience required You are welcome to participate at your own pace. Practical Information • Duration: approx. 2 hours • Breathwork practice: around 50 minutes • Price: 360 CZK • Language: English The evening includes a short introduction, the guided breathwork practice, and a sharing circle with tea afterward (sharing is always optional). Facilitated by Alina, breathwork facilitator, transformational coach, and artist. Her work weaves together breath, music, and presence, creating experiences that support emotional release, nervous system regulation, and deep inner listening. She holds breathwork ceremonies as gentle yet powerful journeys — spaces where the body is trusted to release, integrate, and find its own clarity without force or explanation.

Dear all I would like to invite you to visit together the exhibition: Body Worlds. More info can be found at the link here below : https://www.bodyworlds.cz/en/vystava **Exhibition Overview** BODY WORLDS is an international exhibition featuring real human bodies and organs preserved through the plastination technique, a process developed by German anatomist Dr. Gunther von Hagens. Plastination allows the human body to be displayed in lasting, three-dimensional form, revealing anatomy, movement, and internal systems with exceptional clarity.The exhibition continues a long dialogue between anatomy and art, echoing the anatomical studies of Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Vesalius, as well as artistic reflections such as Rembrandt’s The Anatomy Lesson. BODY WORLDS places the human body at the intersection of medical knowledge and visual culture, inviting viewers to see anatomy as both scientific subject and artistic form. meeting point : Main entrance Westfield Chodov shopping center: [Roztylska 2321/19,](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x470b9232c2d3f475:0x9f039cb6c612bafe?sa=X&ved=1t:8290&ictx=111) [Prague 11-Chodov](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x470b9232c2d3f475:0x9f039cb6c612bafe?sa=X&ved=1t:8290&ictx=111) [148 00](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x470b9232c2d3f475:0x9f039cb6c612bafe?sa=X&ved=1t:8290&ictx=111) 22nd Feb 15:30 PM short agenda: introduction project; ice breaker visit of the exhibition sharing impressions coffee optional ( for those willing to socialize more after the exhibition) estimated duration: approximately 3 hours admission cost : 390 CZK full / adults if you can't find the group phone at : 00420770171095 I look forward to meeting you ps please do not accept if you are not sure to come and give the opportunity for others to join

We live in a period of constant change, where uncertainty has become part of everyday work. Many people stay productive and composed on the surface, yet operate under steady inner pressure that quietly shapes decisions, relationships, and energy. ​Pressure to perform. Pressure to adapt. Pressure to know what comes next. ​This pressure influences how we communicate, create, and lead, whether we manage others or contribute as individual experts. At a human level, sustained pressure often shows up in the body as anxiety, tension, or mental noise. Learning to recognize and work with this response is a practical leadership skill, not a personal flaw. ​In this lunch session with [David Papa](https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidpapa/), we will explore practical ways to move from reactivity to clarity. Through reflection, light movement, and conversation, you will learn how to calm your nervous system, regain focus, and act with more presence and courage, even when things feel uncertain. *** # ​Agenda ​**Lunch & Networking \| 12:00–1:00 PM** A shared Venezuelan lunch from Areparna, a drink, and relaxed conversation with people across roles and industries. Time to connect, exchange perspectives, and arrive fully. ​**Workshop \+ Q&A \| 1:00–2:30 PM** A guided session combining discussion, gentle movement, and practical exercises to explore how internal pressure shows up in work and decision-making. The session includes space for questions, reflection, and shared insight. ​**Closing Remarks & Networking \| 2:30–3:00 PM** A lighter closing with informal conversation, connections, and time to reflect together before heading back into the day. # ​**You'll learn** * ​How to recognize when pressure is quietly driving your decisions * ​A ritual to reset focus and emotional balance * ​Grounding techniques such as Havening to calm the body quickly * ​Self-inquiry tools that support clearer thinking and communication * ​How to create and connect from presence instead of pressure *** # ​Who is it for * ​Professionals, founders, and entrepreneurs navigating uncertainty and change * ​Individual contributors, managers, and leaders * ​People who want more clarity, calm, and agency at work *** # ​About David Papa ​\*\*[David](https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidpapa/)\*\* works with people and organizations to bring clarity and humanity into complex environments. He has supported teams and leaders at Zapier, Peloton, and Maersk, combining humor, embodiment, and practical tools to help people operate with less pressure and more freedom. ​We have lived in reaction mode long enough. This is an invitation to work and lead with greater ease and presence.

As you may or may not know--I didn't until late last year--Aristotle wrote extensively on "friendship" in the Nicomachean Ethics. After 69 years the concept of friendship still creates questions and uncertainty. I had close friends in high school and for a few years after high school but our interests diverged and people moved all over the country so it was hard to maintain connections. * So if I/you haven't talked with a friend for several years, are you still friends? Are we friends who meet at Drunken Philosophy or Omnipresent Atheists? * Can you be friends with someone with whom you have virulently divergent political views? Sartre and Camus could not. * Aristotle regarded friendship as essential to a good life, not merely an added "bonus." Do you agree? * In the Nicomachean Ethics (Books VIII and IX), he claims that wealth and power are meaningless without friends. Trump has wealth and power but seems to have no real friends, but wealth and power seem meaningful to him in perverted ways. Can you have meaning in your life without friends? * Do men and women view and maintain friendships in different ways? * Aristotle categorizes friendship into three types, based on what forms the bond: * **Utility**: Based on mutual benefit, but this type is fragile and ends when the usefulness ceases. * **Pleasure**: Based on shared enjoyment (e.g., humor, hobbies). Common among youth but fades as interests change. * **Virtue (The "Complete" Friendship)**: Based on mutual respect for each other's character and goodness. You wish good for the other for their sake, not yours. * **Key Principles of "True" (Virtuous) Friendship:** * **Permanence**: Virtuous friendships last a lifetime whereas those based on utility and pleasure are fleeting. * **Reciprocity**: Requires mutual goodwill; secret or unreciprocated affection does not qualify. * **The "Second Self"**: A true friend is "another self"—their virtue helps you understand and improve yourself. * **Time and Intimacy**: Deep ("complete") friendships are few, built on time and shared experiences. * **Self-Love and Friendship:** * Good friendship starts with being a friend to yourself. * They distinguish shallow egoism (chasing honors) from real self-love (pursuing virtue). * A virtuous person’s pleasant self-company allows them to be a stable, good friend to others. * Aristotle argues that one's social circle ultimately reflects one's character—a view with striking relevance today. Well--the Drunken Philosophy social circle certainly reflects good character!

**Caller: Frank Buschelmann** **Band: The Rosenthorns** **Big Scioty Contra Dance** **temporarily returning to our long ago location for Jan-March - First Congregational Church, 444 E. Broad St., Columbus 43215** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/) Please bring your own refillable water bottle. Snacks to share are always welcome!
