Consciousness

Hi all! My name is Cara, and I am a native English speaker from America living in Prague. This a meet up for t**hose learning English as a second language** and want the **opportunity to practice**. It will be a fun and relaxed setting where we will play games to **promote English conversations** or have some kind of activity. This club will meet \*\*every other (two Mondays each month) Monday evening.\*\*The goal is for each person to walk away having learned new English words and have more confidence when speaking in English. Please, bring some money if you want to purchase a coffee from Evento. **This event is sponsored by a church.** The church that sponsors this English meet up is **Církev bratrská, Bohnice** [https://www.cbbohnice.cz](https://www.cbbohnice.cz/) . We want to live lives that are reflective of Jesus. Like Jesus we want to help others in meeting a practical need, in this case that would be speaking in English. At the end of the English club, we will extend an invite to anyone who is interested in exploring faith, wants to know more about Jesus, or wants to meet up to read from the Bible. However, we will never trick you into attending and will always be honest about the content of our meetings. *You do not have to attend religious events to be a part of English Club.*

I will translate and analyze the introduction to Civilization and Its Discontents, offering a comparative reading of Freud and Bersani. The discussion will not cover elementary background material, and it will engage directly with core concepts in philosophy and psychoanalytic theory.

Next Meetup: Agentic Startup Canvas & Ideas for Agentic Software 🕕 Start time: 18:00 📍 Productboard HQ — Boudníkova 2506/1, 180 00 Praha 8-Palmovka (DOCK IN THREE, Libeň) *** I hope you enjoyed the first Prague AI-Driven Software Meetup — 90 people showed up, and the turnout alone proved there's real momentum for building a serious community around AI-native software in Czechia and Europe. We're taking that energy and turning it into something even more practical: a working session focused on what to build next. *** ### What we'll do We'll open with the Agentic Startup Canvas — a practical framework redesigned for the realities of agentic software. Classic canvases were built for products with static features and predictable workflows. Agentic products behave differently: they act, adapt, learn, coordinate, and operate inside real human environments. The canvas gives us a shared language for the evening. But the heart of the session is the opportunity itself. We'll walk through the agentic opportunity clusters — the 14 categories where the most significant shifts are already happening, from AI execution layers and trust infrastructure to workflow automation, research systems, embodied autonomy, and new institutional primitives. We'll look at which clusters are earliest, which are most capital-efficient to enter, and where the real white space is for founders who are paying attention right now. The goal is not a survey. It's a working discussion: which opportunities are real, which are overhyped, what is actually buildable today, and where the leverage is highest for a small team that moves fast. We want people to leave with a sharper map of the agentic landscape and a stronger conviction — or useful doubt — about what's worth building next. *** ### Research pack: shared for free Before the meetup, we will share research inside the Discord community. The output will be compiled into a structured, high-signal research pack — made available for free to everyone attending. It will include emerging categories, patterns, promising "agentic wedges," and a curated map of where the biggest leverage seems to be right now. T ### The session will be anchored around two pieces of research published this month: * [Agentic Startup Canvas](http://clicks.meetup.com/ls/click?upn=u001.NY3oBFzZ5LJDG7YcnfSAKm6EUCEsmblR7JBxBSDVQEqZW-2FPp8B0Pu6ZH2aHxlpvMomjK-2FONanBKw33ZxF87nnxsUkCcw-2BwhDBLIDwBy-2FAxINwO4rGsPTFvDYRcqN4W78-8vM_vRspvvIY-2BZ3iZvnmkz7x5yaGe6CXfFaq2WUiprCZdJDf-2BuZ1tnn2iLrh7nCfr3cbj3dLi-2B8kIa2l-2F8nCsGZzKP1siKIwt5R6WcSSHDAyilQ-2BYKZTbaggllzIz3VwRiGm1HxOmZLoaI8Nwd4eHsXS1zKdxhO7azTxEtDTGikxvQk3iRB4LMAgfIh-2BtEmiQOb7yKjURbPu3dfzIKGTOAtrfoZnzNzl9x03L-2BAM-2BXFFEA-2BHIxHwdbW8rbxoKf-2BP8Q1y5abzVN5ga0vPTYDo9xUtZKDaGGfcj-2FPRRYBHuVw-2FHS2Bu25Ni3CDkkxzQdWWLim5OdRwmoXAi6uJIm00aH6n8rlbB2loQgea5lzC-2FaIZ8fsCV8NeVM-2Fyb6-2FIidY2Ee9YRWxWbP5HOfcbZnfJKqCZReHtF6877ZYXQS4jYgtvJFIKoIpdSZcyNBwZlvKOFLNDIYFOgccrC3oxwr3uh8zoM3gLlLtsvVNyu6t-2Bio-2BjGU53N-2BhjpF-2FolRJm-2BxwJtC-2FD8ZUssjJwv-2BDDiku2mndCa8ads09nSo5i0PcWZuKnTE5BaX1HlMyVtU4naqcZQCaNbOuj4dp66sF-2Fv6UAbZFntqhjZfjjdVUI7KO9M2ypDnhmlMQCPww14W1uqxjqAc-2Bc1GWfnwPJf79Hmb-2BAgFlOGKfpT6AEOcOdJoCkx-2FlqOpY-3D "http://clicks.meetup.com/ls/click?upn=u001.NY3oBFzZ5LJDG7YcnfSAKm6EUCEsmblR7JBxBSDVQEqZW-2FPp8B0Pu6ZH2aHxlpvMomjK-2FONanBKw33ZxF87nnxsUkCcw-2BwhDBLIDwBy-2FAxINwO4rGsPTFvDYRcqN4W78-8vM_vRspvvIY-2BZ3iZvnmkz7x5yaGe6CXfFaq2WUiprCZdJDf-2BuZ1tnn2iLrh7nCfr3cbj3dLi-2B8kIa2l-2F8nCsGZzKP1siKIwt5R6WcSSHDAyilQ-2BYKZTbaggllzIz3VwRiGm1HxOmZLoaI8Nwd4eHsXS1zKdxhO7azTxEtDTGikxvQk3iRB4LMAgfIh-2BtEmiQOb7yKjURbPu3dfzIKGTOAtrfoZnzNzl9x03L-2BAM-2BXFFEA-2BHIxHwdbW8rbxoKf-2BP8Q1y5abzVN5ga0vPTYDo9xUtZKDaGGfcj-2FPRRYBHuVw-2FHS2Bu25Ni3CDkkxzQdWWLim5OdRwmoXAi6uJIm00aH6n8rlbB2loQgea5lzC-2FaIZ8fsCV8NeVM-2Fyb6-2FIidY2Ee9YRWxWbP5HOfcbZnfJKqCZReHtF6877ZYXQS4jYgtvJFIKoIpdSZcyNBwZlvKOFLNDIYFOgccrC3oxwr3uh8zoM3gLlLtsvVNyu6t-2Bio-2BjGU53N-2BhjpF-2FolRJm-2BxwJtC-2FD8ZUssjJwv-2BDDiku2mndCa8ads09nSo5i0PcWZuKnTE5BaX1HlMyVtU4naqcZQCaNbOuj4dp66sF-2Fv6UAbZFntqhjZfjjdVUI7KO9M2ypDnhmlMQCPww14W1uqxjqAc-2Bc1GWfnwPJf79Hmb-2BAgFlOGKfpT6AEOcOdJoCkx-2FlqOpY-3D") — Lean Canvas like framework for analyzing agentic system opportunities * [Agentic Startups: The Opportunity Principles](https://articles.intelligencestrategy.org/p/agentic-startups-the-opportunity-026) — 12 economic principles redefining how value is created in the agentic era, from outcome-based pricing to the silicon workforce * [Agentic Startups: The Opportunity Clusters](https://articles.intelligencestrategy.org/p/agentic-startups-the-opportunity) — A civilizational stack mapping 14 clusters of opportunity, from AI execution layers and trust infrastructure to embodied autonomy and new institutionsJoin the Discord community This meetup is also a community-building step.

Cedric brings an investor's lens to the agentic opportunity — what makes an agentic startup fundable, how to recognize the strongest opportunities, and what separates the ideas worth building from the ones that will get commoditized fast. **Dominik Ilichman** — Senior AI Product Manager, Productboard Building AI-native product experiences at one of Central Europe's most respected product-led SaaS companies. Dominik will share what the agentic shift looks like from the inside, having worked on the most radical feature in Productboard, the all integrated AI called Spark — what it means for how software is designed, shipped, and used at scale.

How do you actually build products and companies in 2026 — when AI is no longer a side experiment but a core part of how work gets done? This UX Monday, we're bringing you **two talks from practitioners who live this every day** — no demo prompting, no theoretical AI strategies. Just real stories, real setups, and real lessons from the trenches of product work and startup operations. **What you'll discover:** * How AI shifts the interface between design, product, and engineering — and what that means for your role * Practical approaches to building knowledge hubs that give AI agents the context they need * Concrete workflows for using AI agents across design, ops, communication, and decision-making * Why context engineering matters more than vibe coding — and where to start Whether you're a designer, PM, developer, researcher, or founder — these talks offer a grounded, no-BS perspective on what it actually looks like to work with AI as a collaborator in 2026. **Featured Speakers:** **[Honza Valder](https://www.linkedin.com/in/janvalder/)** — *Practical AI for hot-dog stand personnel* Not a talk about tools or a prompting demo — it's a story about how product work changes when AI becomes part of the workflow. Honza shares his journey through the past year (sabbatical, experimenting, Orbiso) as a series of concrete situations where AI stopped being a toy and became a practical collaborator. Expect a strong emphasis on mindset: don't wait for a "company AI strategy" — try things in real work, learn the limits, and plug AI in where it makes sense. He'll cover where AI has real team impact — project context, documentation, prototyping in a real stack — and close with practical implications for designers, researchers, PMs, and developers. **[Šimon Jůn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/simon-jun/)** — COO @ [dotidot.io](http://dotidot.io) — *AI Agents in Startup Life* A practical look at how AI agents and knowledge hubs work in everyday startup operations — from the perspective of a designer and COO in one person. Šimon will walk through how to set up knowledge hubs that give agents real context, share concrete flows for using agents in design, ops, communication, documentation, and decision-making, and explain why context engineering beats vibe coding every time. Real tools, real workflows, real lessons.

Gentle Vinyasa is a slow, mindful yoga practice that connects breath and movement in a steady rhythm. The class focuses on soft flow sequences designed to release tension, improve mobility, and support nervous system balance. The pace allows participants to move with awareness rather than intensity. The session concludes with sound healing using crystal bowls. The sound supports integration and relaxation, allowing the body to settle after movement. This practice is suitable for all levels and does not require previous yoga experience. The class includes guided movement and a closing relaxation with sound. Facilitated by Andreea Surdu, yoga teacher who guides classes with clarity and calm presence. Her approach emphasizes breath, alignment, and accessible movement for everyday bodies. Mondays, 18.00-19.00, small classes, 200 CZK register through https://vev.co/atma-community-space-praha

No lecture or talk. Just beer or your preferred beverage, good food and the awesome people from the Fun JVM community. The venue is Zluta Pumpa at Vinohrady.

Learning Czech can be hard and demotivating, especially when studying alone. **This meetup is a shared study session where we come together to stay focused, motivated, and make progress — each in our own way.** This is a co-learning / co-studying session, not a class. There is no teacher, no lesson, and no study material provided. Everyone comes with their own resources and studies independently, in a shared environment. 🧠 **How it works** • We all bring our own material: • textbooks • homework from a Czech course • Duolingo or other apps • reading practice • vocabulary review, etc. • We mainly work individually • We are free to: • ask questions • help each other • share tips and resources • No teacher, no formal structure, no pressure 👥 **Who is it for?** • Czech learners of all levels • Non-Czech speakers (expats, internationals) • Czech native speakers are welcome if they want to help, but this is not a language exchange ⏱ **Practical info** • Location: Cafedu 12, Škrétova 490, 120 00 Praha 2 (Metro A and C, Muzeum station) • Duration: 2 hours, or less or more, as you want • Day & time: Monday, 18:00 • Group size: small group for now • Free event — please support the café by ordering a drink ☕ If you’re learning Czech and lack motivation when studying alone, come join us — let’s find it together 🙂

**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.

Welcome to the international Café Philo in Prague. We meet every first Saturday of the month in the cosy [Café Millème](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/).

Open philosophical discussion, thinking together about a topic in a philosophical way. The topic will be chosen by the participants at the beginning of the event. No application, no entrance fee.

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!

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.

I'm canceling my subscription as a Meetup organizer as of March 9th 2026. I have never made it a priority and I know anyone of you can do a better job than I did. I do believe that organizing like minded people together is important in the world we live in today. If any of you would like to take over the the leadership of this group and organize meetings for the members please let me know in the comments. I will contact you so we can transition the group to you.

**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.

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.
