Naked Minds: I'm (not) Enough
You need to register and buy [Tickets here](https://www.tixtree.com/e/im-not-enough-bb3bccf19cba)
A deeper Naked Minds experience exploring the connection between your body, mind, and subconscious patterns with somatic coach & hypnotherapist **[Ilona Cepelakova](https://www.instagram.com/ilonasoulsessions/)**[.](https://www.instagram.com/ilonasoulsessions/)
đ Launch price: 499 CZK (regular: 1,499 CZK)
Youâre doing everything right. So why doesnât it feel like it? From the outside, things look fine. Maybe even good. But inside⌠thereâs still that feeling.
*âI should be further.â*
*âI should be better.â*
*âIâm not quite there yet.â*
A quiet pressure running in the background. And no matter how much you think about it, analyze it, or try to âfix itââŚit keeps coming back.
**You might recognize yourself in this**
Youâre doing well, but it doesnât fully land.
It might show up like this:
* you feel like youâre not enough, even when things are going well
* you hold yourself back or struggle to fully show up
* you avoid conflict or put others before yourself
* your mind is constantly âonâ - overthinking, analyzing
* you feel tension in your body, even when you try to relax
* you keep pushing⌠but it still doesnât feel like enough
Youâve probably already tried to understand it. But this isnât just something you âfigure outâ in your head.
đ Itâs a pattern held in your body and nervous system.
**WHAT PEOPLE ACTUALLY TAKE AWAY**
This isnât just another âinterestingâ session. People leave with real internal shifts:
⨠âI realized Iâm not alone in this.â
⨠âI became aware of patterns I didnât even know I had.â
⨠âIt actually helped me feel calmer and more in control.â
⨠âI finally understood whatâs been holding me back.â
⨠âIt gave me motivation, but also real tools.â
And beyond that:
**Connection**
A space where you can be real. No pretending. People like you, going through similar things.
**Growth**
Not just thinking but actually seeing and shifting patterns.
**Energy**
You leave feeling lighter, clearer, and more grounded.
**WHAT YOU'LL EXPERIENCE**
* understanding how ânot enoughâ patterns are formed
* noticing how they show up in your thoughts, body, and reactions
* learning how your nervous system stores emotional patterns
* guided somatic + subconscious work
* deep relaxation (alpha/theta state)
* safe processing of emotional triggers
* building internal safety and self-trust
**WHAT YOUâLL WALK AWAY WITH**
⢠A deeper understanding of your self-worth patterns
⢠Experience of working with your subconscious (not just thinking about it)
⢠Tools to regulate your emotions and nervous system
⢠Ability to respond instead of react in triggering situations
⢠A more grounded sense of self-trust
⢠One concrete shift you can continue working with
**HOW IT FEELS**
**Deeper. Slower. Real.**
This evening may feel more intense than our other event. You might feel emotions come up and thatâs part of the process. Everything is guided safely and step by step. Youâre always in control.
No pressure. No forcing.
**WHO THIS EVENT IS FOR**
This is for you if:
⢠you feel ânot enoughâ even when things are going well
⢠you overthink but stay stuck in the same patterns
⢠you want something deeper than mindset work
⢠youâre open to working with your body and subconscious
⢠you feel emotional reactions you donât fully understand
⢠youâre ready for a real shift, not just more insight
**WHAT THIS IS ⌠AND ISNâT**
â Not a motivation talk
â Not surface-level self-development
â Not âjust think positiveâ
â A guided somatic experience
â Subconscious work in a safe environment
**Join us**
Maybe you donât need to become more. Maybe you just need to experience that you already are enough.
**PRACTICAL INFO**
đ Launch price: 499 CZK
đ§ No preparation needed
đ Comfortable clothes recommended
đ§ Bring yoga mat (for grounding & body work)

Go Meetup #24
**Hosted by Sky Czech Republic.**
Doors are open from 5:30 pm, talks will start at 6:00 pm.
**1\. Marek Svitok \(Sky\) \- Elegance and Safety in Goroutine Management**
Concurrent programming is a core strength of Go, but managing multiple goroutines while handling errors and synchronization can quickly become complex and error-prone. The golang.org/x/sync/errgroup package provides a simple and effective abstraction for running multiple goroutines concurrently, propagating the first error encountered, and ensuring all routines complete before proceeding. In this article, we explore why errgroup is a valuable tool, how to use it effectively, and what design patterns emerge from its usage. We also examine how one might implement similar functionality manually, highlighting the pitfalls and edge cases that make a manual approach cumbersome. By comparing manual implementations with the idiomatic errgroup usage, we aim to demonstrate why adopting this package leads to safer, cleaner, and more maintainable concurrent code in Go.
**2\. Vilibald Wanca \- Nail the Basics \- S01E03**
Go does not use `try/catch` for normal error handling. Instead, it treats errors as explicit return values, while `panic` is reserved for truly exceptional or unrecoverable situations. A panic stops normal execution, runs deferred calls, and can only be intercepted with `recover` inside a deferred function. This makes `panic/recover` closer to an emergency escape hatch than a general exception system. The result is a model that favors clarity and explicit control over hidden flow.

**ENGLISH** đşđ¸
**Analysis of BIP-110: Timeline, Details and Impacts. Can it work?**
A few months ago, a heated debate about filters and Core vs Knots culminated in the controversial proposal BIP-110, originally known as 'BIP-444', or Reduce Data Temporary Soft Fork, which aims to temporarily restrict common methods of inserting non-transactional data onto Bitcoin. Is this proposal effective? What steps does it propose? What needs to happen for it to be activated, and what is the situation today?
**đŚ THE PRESENTATION**
This lecture presents BIP-110 in the context of the Knots vs Core debate, specifically about spam filters. BIP-110 attempts to deal with both alleged and real spam by changing Bitcoin consensus rules, by banning the use of certain op-codes and restricting the maximum data sizes of other opcodes. We will look at BIP-110 from:
1. A technical perspective: What exactly it tries to change and why, which methods it tries to prevent, and whether it blocks some legitimate uses of Bitcoin
2. A timeline and community perspective: When and by whom BIP-110 was created, when it activates and what conditions it must meet for activation, how User-Activated Soft Forks work, what may happen if it is activated, and what may happen if it is not
3. An effectiveness perspective: How it fits into existing methods of inserting non-transactional data onto the blockchain, which methods it does not prevent, and how this will be reflected in the cost of inserting data
**đŚ THE NETWORKING**
After about a 60min presentation and Q&A we will stay to network over a beer, we stay until 22:00.
* Register here for free entry.
* Drinks and snacks provided.
* Giveaways for the best Q&A questions.
* Braiins Bitcoin books for free.

Community and connection project
## **What IdeaVerse is about**
**We meet usually once a month to discuss some of the current challenges as well and perhaps come up with new ideas on how to overcome them. For those who came regularly, this next meetup would be slightly different. We will do a workshop on solving real world problems.**
The problem we will attempt to solve is the dissolution of communities and spaces where people connect in person, and with it, our increased isolation and loneliness.
There are many reasons why this is happening:
\- replacement of religion with science as a beacon of meaning\, which seems to be much less great at inspiring connection;
\- economic forces boosting our ego\, and make it easier to pay for random strangers for help then making lasting connections with people\.
\- political polarization
\- \(anti\)social media \(as I call it\) and now AI offering simulations of relationships\.
\- climate change increasing our distrust in a better future and the importance of investing in life and people\.
\- closing down of third spaces like churches\, malls and retail stores \(due to online shopping\)\, youth centers and increase in remote work\.
These are all causes we'll explore, together with examples of how other people expressed they feel about this issue from research, reasons why this issue exists as well as examples of small victories against this tide.
We'll work in small groups putting all this knowledge together with out imagination and attempt to find local solutions to similar problems here in Prague.
This is is more than a discussion. It's an exploration of our ability to work together to effect change in ourselves and in our social circles.
**Some suggested reading/watching:**
1. "Contrary to the perception that isolation and loneliness primarily affect older people in high-income countries, they impact the health and well-being of all age groups across the world. One in four older people experience social isolation and the rates are broadly similar in all regions. Among adolescents, between 5ÂÂâ15% experience loneliness, according to research findings." (3 minute read - [WHO launches commission to foster social connection](https://www.who.int/news/item/15-11-2023-who-launches-commission-to-foster-social-connection))
2. "Many popular sitcoms center around what's known as a third place-- for example, Central Park in Friends or the Bull and Finch Pub from Cheers. Like the theme song goes, it's somewhere where everybody knows your name, where you can socialize in a place other than your home or work and build some community.
But with the whole world accessible on your smartphone, it's kind of hard to resist the call of the couch. And it's hurting us more than we think." (10 minute Podcast [Third placesâ may be the answer to Americaâs loneliness epidemic](https://www.mprnews.org/episode/2024/05/23/third-places-may-be-the-answer-to-americas-loneliness-epidemic))
3. âThese verdicts mark an unsurprising breaking point. Negative sentiment toward social media has been building for years, and now itâs finally boiled over,â said Mike Proulx, a director at Forrester, a market research company. (4 minute read - [How the landmark verdict against Meta and YouTube could hit their businesses](https://www.aol.com/finance/landmark-verdict-against-meta-youtube-100000070.html))
**The meeting is free to attend, but please buy a drink or two at our patron's place, to make them happy.**
Hablamos espaĂąol!
Hola tod@s! Tenemos otra reunion este viernes en Pivni Bar BlaniÄka! Sois muy bienvenidos!
CACAO AND BREATHWORK: LUMINOSITY
There is a wisdom that lives in the sea â in its depth, its movement, its light. In this three-part series, we begin each ceremony with cacao to root into the body, soften, and arrive. From there, breath becomes a doorway into the inner waters â into movement, feeling, release, and deeper contact with what lives within.
Each ceremony explores a different quality of the inner ocean:
Fluidity â trusting the flow of life
Depth â the courage to feel
Luminosity â the light beneath the surface
You are welcome to join the full journey or come to any ceremony individually. Each session is a complete experience on its own, while also forming part of a deeper unfolding process.
LUMINOSITY - This evening is an invitation to reconnect with your inner light and vitality, soften into presence, and experience a sense of expansion and aliveness.
This practice includes intensive breathwork and cacao.
It is not suitable for those who are pregnant or have epilepsy, glaucoma, serious heart conditions, severe cardiovascular disease, unmanaged severe hypertension, or acute psychiatric disorders.
If you have any health concerns, please reach out in advance so the practice can be adapted safely. If you have food allergies or sensitivities, please also let us know beforehand.
When: Thursdays 9/4, 16/4, 23/4 at 19:00
Price: 450 CZK per ceremony / 1100 CZK full cycle via atmaprague@gmail.com

Sunday Reading Circle: Spiritual Practices Pt. 1
It's easy to get the idea that philosophy is largely an abstract and conceptual endeavorâstudying theories that try to explain the universe, morality, or language, and then arguing until we either prove those we disagree with wrong or at least reach a smug sense of clarity. But is that all that philosophy has to offer?
Back by popular demand, this month we'll be diving deeper into the reflections of **Pierre Hadot** by beginning his essay **Spiritual Exercises**. In this essay, Hadot argues that **ancient philosophers didn't just theorize about what a good life might be, but practiced it through disciplines of attention, meditation, and self-examination aimed at transforming how one sees and lives in the world**. The essay invites us to ask **whether philosophy might still serve that purpose today**.
Hadot specialized in **ancient Greek and Roman philosophy--especially Stoicism, Neoplatonism, and early Christian thought**âas was known for his scholarship on **Marcus Aurelius, Plotinus, and ancient spiritual exercises**. His work has influenced many contemporary philosophers, classicists, and the modern revival of philosophy as a lived practice.
As noted in the title, this will be the first of two sessions. We're splitting the text into two parts in order to give everyone a chance to fit the text into their busy lives, as well as to give us space to move more slowly through the text together.
\*\*\*
Below is a PDF copy of Hadot's book Philosophy as a Way of Life. This session will cover up to p.93 (ending at 3. Learning to Die). If you have trouble accessing it, send the host a messageâextra copies are available.

Weâll have tea and light snacks, but please feel free to bring any drink or snack youâd like to share!
This event will be hosted in an apartment with a well-trained dog who will be happy to meet you. If anyone has concerns about dogs, let me know so I can be mindful about keeping her from bothering you.
The buzzer is Everett and Mainousâweâre on the 5th floor, apartment 16.
Meeting structure: We will start with a brief summary of the key ideas Hadot presents then move to open discussion. Please read the text in advance, make highlights, and note any thoughts or questions you find interesting and compelling.
Bi-Weekly Co-Working in Prague â Get It Done Together (3â6PM)

Join our [WhatsApp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/K6LidaoQhe16wZ0Se9pNM6), Keep contact via [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/nocrastinationclub/)
You just havenât been able to follow through. You start things, lose momentum and find yourself starting over again. Youâre not alone.
Most people get support at the beginning. And applause at the end. But the part that actually matters? The middle. The quiet, repetitive, sometimes frustrating part where nothing feels exciting, and everything depends on showing up. **Thatâs where we are.**
At NoCrastination, we donât meet for hype. We meet to **show up and finish something, together.** Not perfectly. Not magically. Just consistently.
**What this really is**
This is a space for people who are:
* building something
* figuring things out
* or simply trying to stay on track
**without doing it alone**
You donât need to be an entrepreneur. You just need something you want to move forward.
**What happens here**
You bring something youâve been putting off. We sit down together. We focus. And you leave with something done. Thatâs it. And thatâs everything.
**Why people keep coming back**
* âI finally follow through on what I planâ
* âI leave with real progress every timeâ
đ **Time**: 3:00 PM â 6:00 PM
đ **Location**: **Safe Space Bookstore,** U boĹžĂch bojovnĂkĹŻ 606/3, Prague 3 Ĺ˝iĹžkov ¡ Prague, cz
đť **Bring**: Your laptop, journal, creative tools, or anything youâve been procrastinating on
đż **Hosted by**: NoCrastination.
â Please do order something from the bar, so as to keep us in their good graces!
Donations optional.
**đŞSeating information:**
* If this is your first time joining us, please look for **Fernando Goncalves** when you arrive
* If youâd like to **work independently (without the Pomodoro arrangement)** but still be part of the group energy, just let Fernando know â weâll make sure youâre comfortably included. đ
đą **What to Expect**
* **Drop in anytime** between **3:00â6:00 PM** â stay for a bit or settle in for the whole session
* **Clarify your goals**: write down your measurable tasks for the day on a Post-it when you arrive
* **Two spaces**: one for quiet focus, one for casual conversation. After each focus session, if youâre still in the flow, feel free to remain seated â no need to move. If you're up for a chat, join others in the social area for a relaxed break.
* **Social start**: from **3:00 to 3:30 PM**, we mingle and get to know each other; our first focus session begins at **3:30 PM**
* **Gentle structure**: we begin with a soft check-in and intention round
* **Pomodoro-style rhythm**: We work in 45-minute focus blocks followed by 15-minute social breaks. If 45 minutes feels too long, feel free to break it into two 20-minute focus sessions with a short 5-minute reset in between. Youâll need to self-regulate these shorter cycles, just tune into your own flow and rejoin when ready.
* **Quiet companionship**: no pressure to talk during focus time â just shared presence and support
* **Welcoming space**: we meet in the creative, cozy lobby of the **Safe Space Bookstore**
**This space is for you ifâŚ**
* You keep starting but donât finish
* You work alone and feel stuck
* You want structure without pressure
* You donât want to do this alone anymore
**What youâll get**
Not motivation. Not a productivity hack.
**Youâll get: ONE THING DONE.**
And then you come back, and do it again.
**This is how it starts**
You donât need to commit to anything big. Just come once. Pick one thing.
Finish it. Weâll be there.

What If Your AI Could Be a Team? - Chad Green

**Abstract**
GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise.
We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration.
Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team.

Contra dance with Big Scioty May 2 - Clinton Heights Lutheran church
**Caller: Richard Ades**
**Band: The McKenzies**
**Clinton Heights Lutheran Church**
**15 Clinton Heights Ave, Columbus, OH 43202**
WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like youâve seen in period films such as âPride and Prejudiceâ, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. Thatâs English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like âswing your partnerâ and âdo-si-do,â like youâve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alĂĄ âRiverdance.â 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. THATâs 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.

Please bring your own refillable water bottle.
