Toastmasters International is a world leader in communication and leadership development. Our membership is 313,000 strong. Members improve their speaking and leadership skills by attending one of the 14,650 clubs in 126 countries that make up our global network of meeting locations.
The world needs leaders. Leaders head families, coach teams, run businesses, and mentor others. These leaders must not only accomplish but must also communicate. By regularly giving speeches, gaining feedback, leading teams, and guiding others to achieve their goals in a supportive atmosphere, leaders emerge from the Toastmasters program. Every Toastmaster's journey begins with a single speech. During their journey, they learn to tell their stories. They listen and answer. They plan and lead. They give feedbackâand accept it. Through our community of learners, they find their path to leadership.
Creative Writing Budapest
**This week's venue: Beer People \| LĂĄzĂĄr utca 7\, Budapest 1065**
We hold a bi-weekly workshop to encourage creative writing where we share pieces of creative writing and solicit feedback from the other attendees.
Some members also use the forum to find others with whom to collaborate, edit work, and/or brainstorm plot, themes, settings, and so forth. And from time to time, we participate in competitions, recite and/or offer material for events organized by other groups.
At the moment there is no prompt for this particular meetup.
Instead, writers are invited to submit something they have (or are working on) or to craft a short story specifically for the event.
Of course, there's no pressure to submit something. Many participants are interested in hearing ideas, questioning the authors, and examining style and technique. Often, we explore other published works as well.
The submission guidelines are as follows:
1. limit the piece to 850 words (to give enough time for any other submissions being read at the event);
2. make the text available (though you can read it aloud) for the other attendees. Many authors bring a few printed copies, others post their work in the comments of the meetup;
3. have a question in mind for the group about the submission; and,
4. If offering something from a longer work, be prepared to give a little bit of background first.

Meditation (English)
Practice Buddhist meditation in the middle of Budapest!
The meditation is suitable for beginners. Each regular meditation is guided and begins with a short introduction. (all together is about 30-40 minutes)
Our regular Buddhist meditations have proven popular with people who want to integrate authentic Buddhist methods into their daily lives. For the modern lay person who is juggling work, relationships, and an active role in society, we teach a meditation that is easy to learn, and profound and powerful for experienced practitioners.
The meditation originates from the Karma Kagyu tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. It has a cumulative effect on mind, leading to greater clarity and calmness. Fearlessness, joy, and active compassion are the result of regular practice of Buddhist meditation.
* Do I need any special clothing?
No special clothing needed.
* Does the attendance cost anything?
No, the meditation is free.
Alkalom #6 - Az egzisztenciĂĄlis katasztrĂłfĂĄk esĂ©lyei Ă©s a jövĆnk vĂ©delme
*âAz emberisĂ©g valĂłdi problĂ©mĂĄja ez: Ćskori Ă©rzelmeink, közĂ©pkori intĂ©zmĂ©nyeink Ă©s istenszerƱ technolĂłgiĂĄink vannak. Ăs ez rĂ©misztĆen veszĂ©lyes, Ă©s mindez most közeledik egy krĂzisponthoz.â*
**Edward O. Wilson.**
*âA kihalĂĄs az emberi törekvĂ©s eltörlĂ©se.â*
**Carl Sagan.**
Az emberisĂ©g fejlĆdĂ©se jelentĆsen megvĂĄltoztatta körĂŒlöttĂŒnk a vilĂĄgot, olyan lehetĆsĂ©geket nyitva meg, amelyek korĂĄbban elkĂ©pzelhetetlenek voltak. Az ipari forradalom Ăłta az emberisĂ©g Ă©letszĂnvonala, vĂĄrhatĂł Ă©lettartama Ă©s boldogsĂĄga drasztikusan megnĆtt, miközben szĂĄmos sĂșlyos problĂ©ma â mint a szegĂ©nysĂ©g, a betegsĂ©gek Ă©s a hĂĄborĂșk halĂĄlossĂĄga, vagy a rasszizmus â jelentĆsen csökkent. A több lehetĆsĂ©ggel viszont több veszĂ©ly is jĂĄr. Egyre fejlettebb technolĂłgiĂĄinkkal lehetĆsĂ©gĂŒnk van az emberisĂ©g legtöbb nagy problĂ©mĂĄjĂĄnak megoldĂĄsĂĄra, ugyanakkor most mĂĄr mi magunk jelentjĂŒk a legnagyobb fenyegetĂ©st sajĂĄt tĂșlĂ©lĂ©sĂŒnkre.
**Nick Bostrom** & **Toby Ord** az egzisztenciĂĄlis katasztrĂłfĂĄt az emberisĂ©g hosszĂș tĂĄvĂș potenciĂĄljĂĄnak tartĂłs, visszafordĂthatatlan elvesztĂ©sekĂ©nt definiĂĄljĂĄk (amely nemcsak az emberisĂ©g kihalĂĄsĂĄt foglalja magĂĄban, hanem akĂĄr a tartĂłs totalitĂĄrius disztĂłpiĂĄt vagy a helyrehozhatatlan összeomlĂĄst is).
Bostrom ökölszabĂĄly-javaslata az egzisztenciĂĄlis katasztrĂłfa kezelĂ©sĂ©re a âMaxipok" stratĂ©gia alkalmazĂĄsa: maximalizĂĄljuk egy "elfogadhatĂł" kimenetel valĂłszĂnƱsĂ©gĂ©t (amely bĂĄrmely olyan kimenetelt jelent, ami elkerĂŒli az egzisztenciĂĄlis katasztrĂłfĂĄt).
*Valóban ez lenne a legjobb hozzåållås az emberiség szåmåra?*
Ezalkalommal megvizsgĂĄljuk az emberisĂ©get leginkĂĄbb fenyegetĆ egzisztenciĂĄlis katasztrĂłfĂĄk esĂ©lyeit, közelsĂ©gĂ©t, Ă©s azt, hogy mit tehetĂŒnk ellenĂŒk egyĂ©ni illetve közössĂ©gi szinteken.
**Bevezetés (15 perc)**
Rövid bemutatkozĂĄssal kezdĂŒnk, ahol a rĂ©sztvevĆk röviden bemutatjĂĄk magukat.
**Többek között az alĂĄbbi kĂ©rdĂ©seket is feltesszĂŒk (1 Ăłra 45 perc):**
- A vilĂĄg jelenlegi ĂĄllapotĂĄban minek kellene a civilizĂĄciĂłnk legnagyobb prioritĂĄsĂĄnak lennie?
- Szerinted az emberek ĂĄltalĂĄban mekkora esĂ©lyt becsĂŒlnek egy egzisztenciĂĄlis katasztrĂłfa bekövetkezĂ©sĂ©re a következĆ 50 Ă©vben? Hogyan vĂĄltozik ez a szĂĄm, ha szakĂ©rtĆket kĂ©rdezĂŒnk meg helyettĂŒk?
- Van-e erkölcsi kötelezettsĂ©gĂŒnk arra, hogy megĂłvjuk a jövĆt a következĆ generĂĄciĂłk szĂĄmĂĄra? A jövĆ megĂłvĂĄsa alapvetĆ Ă©rdekĂŒnk-e, vagy inkĂĄbb egy mĂĄsok javĂĄra hozott ĂĄldozat rĂ©szĂŒnkrĆl?
- Milyen filantrópiåt tartsunk a legfontosabbnak és miért?
- Egy egzisztenciĂĄlis katasztrĂłfa esetĂ©n mely jövĆbeli lehetĆsĂ©gek elvesztĂ©sĂ©t fĂĄjlalnĂĄd a legjobban?
- Hogyan kellene priorizålnunk az alåbbi fenyegetési kategóriåk kezelését?
1.Természeti katasztrófåk (pl. aszteroida-becsapódås)
2.Emberi tevĂ©kenysĂ©g ĂĄltal okozott környezeti katasztrĂłfĂĄk (pl. klĂmavĂĄltozĂĄs)
3.NukleĂĄris fegyverek
4.BiolĂłgiai fegyverek
5.Mesterséges szuperintelligencia
6.Ismeretlen ismeretlenek
- Mely Ă©rdekcsoportok ĂĄllhatnak a fenti fenyegetĂ©sek mögött Ă©s hogyan? Hogyan lehetne Ćket ellenĂ©rdekelttĂ© tenni? MegvĂĄltoztathatnĂĄ-e a viselkedĂ©sĂŒket a halhatatlansĂĄg felajĂĄnlĂĄsa az egyesĂtett erĆfeszĂtĂ©s jutalmakĂ©nt?
- KĂ©pes-e egy kevĂ©sbĂ© intelligens lĂ©ny irĂĄnyĂtani egy nĂĄla intelligensebb lĂ©nyt?
- Hogyan Ă©reznĂ©d magad, ha egy nĂĄlad intelligensebb lĂ©ny kegyĂ©tĆl fĂŒggenĂ©l, akit nem ismersz Ă©s nem tudsz felfogni?
- Miért kap olyan kevés figyelmet és forråst az egzisztenciålis kockåzatok mérséklése?
*AjĂĄnlott film: [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11286314/](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11286314/)
- Ha megvĂĄltoztatnĂĄnk a gazdasĂĄgi hĂĄtteret, az alapvetĆ vĂĄltozĂĄsokat hozna az egzisztenciĂĄlis veszĂ©lyek mĂ©rsĂ©klĂ©sĂ©re fordĂtott erĆforrĂĄsokban is?
- Az egzisztenciålis veszélyek csökkentése ållami vagy globålis hatåskör kellene legyen?
- Mi lehet a legjobb, amit most tehetĂŒnk? A maximĂĄlis hatĂĄs Ă©rdekĂ©ben most hasznĂĄlni az erĆforrĂĄsainkat, vagy kĂ©sĆbbi esetleges szĂŒksĂ©ghelyzetre tartalĂ©kolni inkĂĄbb? MĂĄs szavakkal: Mennyire Ă©lĂŒnk döntĆ pillanatokat most?
**(az esemény magyar nyelvƱ)**
**RSVP:** A helyszĂn jelezte felĂ©m, hogy az utĂłbbi idĆben sajnos nem Ă©rkezik elegendĆ fogyasztĂĄs a csoportunktĂłl. Miközben a lĂ©tszĂĄm növekszik, a fogyasztĂĄs csökken :(
EzĂ©rt bevezetĂŒnk egy egyszerƱ rendszert:
a fogyasztĂĄs kivĂĄltja a belĂ©pĆt. Ha fogyasztasz, nem szĂŒksĂ©ges hozzĂĄjĂĄrulni a csoporthoz.
Az alĂĄbbiakat tudjĂĄtok vĂĄlasztani:
- Bruschetta (vegetåriånus, tényleg nagyon finom): 3000 Ft
- Alkoholmentes vörösbor (pohår): 2000 Ft (kedvezményes år)
- Csomag (bruschetta + bor): 4500 Ft
Ebben az esetben nincs kĂŒlön belĂ©pĆdĂj.
Ha nem fogyasztasz ezek közĂŒl, akkor marad a min. 400 Ft hozzĂĄjĂĄrulĂĄs, ajĂĄnlottan 1000 Ft.
Köszönöm a megértést!

Pranayama & Meditation 19:00/EN
In this session, we dive into Pranayama, (an ancient practice to discover the flow of energy within) and the power of conscious breathing, which is one of the most important aspects of the original yogic lifestyle. On these Tuesday evenings, we do more than just a breathwork session: this is an opportunity to explore a true harmony between our breath & the mind - body connection.
We begin with a 15-minute chest-opening yoga sequence to gently expand our lungs and prepare for deeper breathing (no need for gym clothes though, just an open mind). Then, we explore different breathing techniques designed for self-awareness, relaxation, and energy flow.
These classes are designed to help you discover how breath can be a tool to balance, energize, and center yourself.
To close, we immerse in a short yet profound "silent concert", a meditative sound journey where 174 Hz sound waves or white noise guide us into a state of deep harmony. Whether emotions are light or heavy, thoughts are clear or clouded, this is a space to simply be and find some peace.

Drunken
This month's prompt concerns the idea of the âwarrior philosopherâ (seemed appropriate in these times)--that is someone whose understanding of violence, power, and justice is forged through direct experience of war. We are looking at Major General Smedley D. Butler, a highly decorated U.S. Marine raised in a Quaker (pacifist) tradition who later became a prominent critic of American militarism (there is a wonderful biography of Gen. Butler called "Gangsters of Capitalism")
Butler's argument in *War Is a Racket* (1935): that many U.S. interventions were driven less by national defense than by corporate and financial interests, with Butler portraying himself as an enforcer for business and Wall Street. We can consider the moral ambiguity of his insider critiqueâwhether complicity strengthens or undermines credibility and also consider some of the concrete reforms he proposed (e.g., âconscriptâ capital before soldiers, restrict the military to coastal defense, and have only those who fight decide on war).
Butlerâs life arc clearly changed from pacifist upbringing to warrior to antiwar crusaderâand asks whether true understanding of peace requires firsthand knowledge of war, and what that implies about the cost of suffering. So do we need to suffer to understand suffering? Do we have to experience war to appreciate peace? As one more question: in the movie "A Few Good Men" Jack Nicholson's character says that "you have the luxury of not knowing what I know" so do most of us go through life oblivious to real violence and suffering? See you at Drunken Philosophy!
Wednesday Night Meditation Practice
Join us on Wednesday nights at 7pm for two 25 minute quiet meditations, with one short walking meditation in between. There will be a brief and informal conversation afterward.

Our meditations guide others to actually experience that energy! xoxo We don't just talk about peace, love and affection, we experience it :)
