Meditation

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.*

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 🙂

This will be a simple first meeting for anyone in Prague who feels connected to Paramahansa Yogananda, SRF, Kriya Yoga, meditation, or sincere spiritual practice. We will meet casually for tea or coffee, introduce ourselves, and talk about what kind of informal circle would be helpful here in Prague. There is no pressure, no formal structure, and no expectation that anyone needs to be advanced or experienced. I am a relatively new SRF student myself, so this is not a teaching group. It is simply an attempt to create a friendly space for spiritual community. Everyone is welcome: SRF students, readers of Yogananda, meditators, curious beginners, international residents, Czech locals, and sincere seekers from any background. The goal is simply to meet peacefully and see whether there is interest in continuing. Event will be held in English. Location is to be decided upon depending on the amount of people who will show interest. **Please note:** To respect SRF guidelines, we will not share or discuss private SRF Lessons material, and we will not teach SRF meditation techniques. Anyone curious about SRF practice will be warmly directed to the official SRF Lessons and resources.

Hi. I would like to set up the first event. This is a space and opportunity to discuss all the things spiritual in a relaxed manner. It is a space where our discussions should bring you joy without any sense of obligation to participate if you don't feel like it. After all bringing just your presence is no small task :) And it's one of the most important things in raising your state of consciousness :) As this is the first meeting it could just be a lightweight conversation or if you feel like we can dive in into more serious fundamental topics. It depends on what are you interested in. It could be: * where are we on the Map of Consciousness (different paradigms) * the nature of our 3D physical reality * nervous system regulation * Biocentrism etc. There's a lot we can talk about and everyone of us has a different level of knowledge and is at a different stage of awareness. Feel free to join and see you there, Daniel

**What if consciousness isn’t something the brain produces — but something the universe is?** Most of us have absorbed a picture of reality in which matter comes first: the brain generates mind, and when the brain stops, the mind vanishes. It feels like common sense. But a growing number of analytic philosophers and scientists are asking whether that picture can actually hold together — and **whether idealism, the view that consciousness is fundamental to reality, deserves a serious second look**. **Analytical Idealism is not mysticism in disguise. It’s a rigorous, philosophically precise position that engages directly with the hard problem of consciousness, the findings of modern physics, and the limits of materialist explanation**. It takes the tools of analytic philosophy seriously — and uses them to challenge one of our deepest assumptions about what exists. In this session, we’ll explore: • Why materialism struggles to account for the existence of subjective experience • What Analytical Idealism actually claims — and what it doesn’t • What it might mean, practically and existentially, if mind is primary No prior background in philosophy is needed. We’ll build up the ideas together, and the emphasis will be on genuine inquiry rather than expertise. About the host: Corrado Alesso is a software engineer working across mobility, big data, security, and energy — and, more recently, a newly-minted carpenter. When he’s not chasing his interests in electronics, astrophotography, or music, he reads philosophy — particularly metaphysics (to peek behind the veil), philosophy of mind (can’t wrap my head around the C-problem) and ontology (so that I can drop this word at parties). It started with a suspicion that blaming consciousness on complexity feels a bit cheap. That suspicion led him to Analytical Idealism, which he finds deeply grounded — and, uncomfortably, quite convincing. He’s looking forward to dissecting it together.

**Naked Minds Event** **Start Now: Overcome the fear of getting started.** [Buy tickets here](https://www.tixtree.com/e/start-now-how-to-finally-get-started-f4e0bf27c91a) Stop waiting. Start doing. 🎟 Launch price: 599 CZK (regular price: 1,499 CZK) You don’t have a motivation problem. You have a starting problem. You know what you want to do. You’ve thought about it. Planned it. Replayed it in your head. But you still haven’t started. You’re waiting… * for clarity * for confidence * for the right moment It never comes. This evening is where that changes. **WHAT THIS EVENT IS ABOUT** This is not a talk. This is not inspiration you forget in 24 hours. This is a **guided, structured experience** where you: • Identify the one thing you’ve been avoiding • Understand what’s actually blocking you (it’s not what you think) • Break the illusion of “I need to be ready” • Take your first real step during the event • Lock in accountability so you don’t disappear after You won’t sit and listen. You’ll move. Think. Decide. Act. In real time. **WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT** No theory. No overthinking. No “one day”. This is designed for one thing only: **action.** Expect discomfort. Expect honesty. Expect to surprise yourself. **WHAT YOU’LL WALK AWAY WITH** • Clarity on what you’ve been avoiding • Understanding of what’s actually holding you back • One real step already done • Momentum you can build on • Accountability to keep going • New connections with people who are also moving forward You don’t need another plan. You need a start. **HOW IT FEELS** Intense. Energising. Real. There’s pressure, but the good kind. There’s discomfort and that’s the point. There’s structure but no bullshit. And yes, there’s also laughter. Together, it’s a lot easier. **WHO THIS EVENT IS FOR** This is for you if you: • Keep postponing something that matters • Feel stuck at the starting line • Overthink instead of acting • Know you’re capable of more • Want real movement, not more thinking • Prefer experience over theory **WHAT THIS IS … AND ISN’T** This is not a lecture. Not a motivational talk. Not passive listening. No ego. No pretending. No “perfect version of you”. This is a Naked Minds evening where you **finally start**. **PRACTICAL INFO** 🎟 Launch price: 599 CZK 🧠 No preparation needed 🧘 Bring yoga mat (for grounding & sitting) 💧 Bring bottle water and light snacks **TERMS & COMMUNITY GUIDELINES** By joining Naked Minds, you become part of a community committed to real growth and self-investment. 📷 By participating, you agree to photos and videos captured during the event to support future Naked Minds activities.

At the group's first meetup, we will informally discuss whether self-improvement has an end or is a never-ending process. To inspire the discussion, I selected two short blog posts with opposing perspectives. The [first post](https://markmanson.net/self-improvement#:~:text=There%27s%20a%20paradox%20with,the%20need%20to%20improve%20yourself.) is by Mark Manson, the author of *The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F#ck*. He argues that: “*There’s a paradox with self-improvement (...): the ultimate goal of all self-improvement is to reach the point where you no longer feel the need to improve yourself (…). The whole goal of improving your productivity is to reach the point where you never have to think about how to be more productive. The whole point of pursuing happiness is to reach the point where one no longer has to think about being happy. (…)* *The only way to truly achieve one’s potential, to become fully fulfilled, or to become “self-actualized” (…), is to, at some point, stop trying to be all of those things.”* The [second post](https://maartenvandoorn.medium.com/self-improvement-doesnt-have-an-end-it-is-the-end-6bbb3247ff6f) is by Maarten van Doorn, who wrote it as a reply to Mark Manson’s post. Van Doorn argues that self-improvement doesn’t have an end because it is an end in itself: *“‘The paradox of self-improvement’, as Mark calls it, is not that self-improvement, despite appearances, has as its ultimate goal something that’s ‘in your head’. No, the true paradox of self-improvement is that it’s perhaps the only kind of improvement that is not done for the sake of whatever it is being improved, but for its own sake.* *Self-improvement has intrinsic value and, in contrast to productivity, becoming better and exercising skills are essential components of what makes life worth living (…)* *Personal growth shouldn’t be thought of as a band-aid to fix something. That’s not what it’s for. What it’s for, is to prevent you from settling for eternal boredom — and your life from going by unnoticed*.” What do you think? **Reading the posts beforehand is optional** — Just in case you want to read them, here are the links: * ‘[What is self-improvement’ by Mark Manson](https://markmanson.net/self-improvement#:~:text=There%27s%20a%20paradox%20with,the%20need%20to%20improve%20yourself.). * ‘[Self-improvement doesn’t have an end, it is the end’ by Maarten van Doorn](https://maartenvandoorn.medium.com/self-improvement-doesnt-have-an-end-it-is-the-end-6bbb3247ff6f) We will also have time to talk about ourselves and brainstorm ideas for next meetups. See you soon. Ángel
