Meditation

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. (But as we are meeting in a normal coffee shop, you have to order at least a cup of coffee or tea.) Experience the joy of real dialogue with other people about the really important topics of life! Follow the white rabbit into the wonderland of philosophy... You find informations about me and the event [here](https://sophonautik.ch/english/). Je nach Gruppe kann die Veranstaltung auch auf [Deutsch](https://sophonautik.ch/deutsch/) abgehalten werden.

TOPIC: Wasn’t Woke Dead…?? I wise man once said: “nobody be complaining if they had casted Terry Crews as Hellen of Troy…” Samuel L. Jackson would be a great option in my humble opinion… TRIGGERED is a discussion group for the young and young at heart, with philosophy as its core but focussed towards recent events, culture, and political philosophy, with a pinch of actual politics. We’ll discuss the selected topic as a group and probably move somewhere else for another drink to talk about anything else. Some of the points we’ll touch on: * Briefly: What is woke? * Netflix, Modern Hollywood and the Modern Audience. * Case Study: Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey. * Influence of wokeness outside entertainment. So… * Has wokeness actually reached its peak? If so, when did it do so? * Do you go broke if you go woke? * We might have won the war, but why doesn’t it feel like victory? * How to fix this landscape and move forward.

Later we blend in some easy couple dances mixing European classics, modern folklore, and smooth Latin rhythms. Our evenings are all about **great music, laughter, and the simple joy of moving together.** You don’t need a partner or any dance experience to join us. As long as you can sway to the rhythm, you belong. We use fun group mixers and rotate constantly, making it the perfect, fresh way to come alone and **connect with everyone naturally**.

Hi everyone! Join us on **Friday, July 3rd**, for a screening of [A Private Life](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ej2YuO54tjY) at [Kino 35](https://kino35.ifp.cz/). The film begins at **20:30.** I will be at the location around 8pm. Come and say hi (see my photo below for reference). We will be watching a 2025 French mystery thriller, directed and co-written by Rebecca Zlotowski. Jodie Foster plays Lilian Steiner, a respected American psychiatrist living in Paris. When one of her long-term patients dies under circumstances officially ruled a suicide, Lilian becomes convinced that something doesn't add up. Rather than accepting the official explanation, she begins investigating on her own. Expect part psychological thriller, part character study, and part exploration of guilt, perception, professional ethics, and the limits of understanding other people. Come enjoy this screening and stay for a drink and a chat about the film afterward! If you’d like to join us, please **purchase your own ticket** [Here](https://kino35.ifp.cz/cz/program/event4532-soukromy-zivot). I will be sitting in row 7, seat 7. Kind request: if you register to attend but are unable to join, please change your RSVP accordingly. Hope to see you there!

You went on that retreat, read the book, committed to meditating daily. And here you are at 3 am, drunkenly staring down a Žižkov doner, wondering what happened. Come share your spiritual misadventures. You can bring a story, poem, insight, or simply come and hang out. This is a space for anyone interested in spirituality and meditation. All paths and experiences are welcome! We are meeting at Stromovka Park, near Stromovka Fountain. Bring something to sit on. Pets are always welcome! We’ll start with an opening circle, short group meditation, then move into sharing and discussion. If you arrive while we're meditating, feel free to join us quietly.

**These are the hottest days of the year. We will meet on the 4th of July at the entrance of the Planetárium Praha ([Královská obora 233, Bubenec, 170 21 Praha 7](https://www.google.de/maps/place/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x470b94ce6ef24a2d:0x95d62e70e8497a61?sa=X&ved=1t:8290&ictx=111)).** **From 17:00 until 17:15, we will gather in front of the planetarium. After 17:15, we shall then start searching for a nice place under the trees, where we will discuss, eat and drink together until the night…** **If you like to have a philosophical conversation while enjoying the magnificent surroundings of the Stromovka Park, come and join us, the only condition for joining is that you bring something to eat and to drink with you. We will put all the delicious things on a blanket so that we don’t exchange only arguments…** **Even though I normally don’t determine a topic in advance, I would like to ask you this time to make a list of some of your favorite movies. Try to imagine you have to convince another person that these movies are great. What would you say? What makes these movies important for you? What important (philosophical) questions do these movies raise or maybe even answer?**

Join us for Symposium! 🌞🌻🌳 In antiquity, a symposium was a gathering of friends who came together to recline around a shared table, where wine and conversation flowed freely into the night. Together, they would choose a topic and take turns speaking, listening, and laughing—guided by the rhythms of drink and dialogue. Inspired by this tradition, our Symposium has no set theme. It's an invitation to come together with other curious minds, to offer up questions or ideas, and to vote together on where to begin. Whether you're hungry for connection or simply seeking space to speak and be heard, you're warmly welcomed to join the conversation. Symposium will meet in parks throughout Prague, embracing the sunshine and pleasant weather while we have it. Bring a blanket or something to sit on. There’s no cost to join, but please bring a snack or drink to share, if you're able. Most of all, bring a curious mind and a willingness to learn from the insight of others. Feel free to bring a friend or two--also, children and friendly dogs are welcome! \*\*\* If the weather doesn't cooperate, we'll try to find an alternate venue—so keep an eye on the event chat or your email for updates. Also, despite the origins of the Symposium, our goal is not necessarily to get drunk and the organizer would encourage you not to come with that sole purpose in mind. :) The first 45 minutes of the event will be dedicated to simply getting to know one another, and we highly encourage you to join for this part. We will then vote whether to continue free conversation, to join together in a single conversation, or to split up into multiple groups. Afterwards, you’re welcome to stay or follow onto any spontaneous activity that unfolds. A note on attendance: If you need to cancel, please do so at least a few days in advance and update your RSVP accordingly. This helps honor the host’s efforts and makes space for others who would like to attend. Repeated last-minute cancellations or no-shows may result in being placed on the waitlist for future events.

Join us for a slow Sunday morning coffee, real conversation, and meaningful connection at Crunch in Žižkov.

Just coffee, conversation, and a chance to hear each other beyond job titles. We will gather at 10:00 am. Grab a coffee, and if you feel like it, you can also have breakfast. Together, we will explore simple questions like: \- Where are we in life right now? \- What are we building\, creating\, changing\, or dreaming about? \- What kind of support would feel helpful? \- How can we help each other\, connect each other\, or simply witness each other? The intention is to create a warm space where we can meet as whole humans, not only through what we do for work. Whether you are an entrepreneur, creative, coach, founder, freelancer, corporate professional, artist, multipassionate soul, or someone in transition, you are welcome. Come as you are. Bring your curiosity, openness, and willingness to connect in a real way.

Join us for our Sunday Meditation Service - Is cancelled!

The emotional pain from past bad experiences easily lingers in the present, making it hard to enjoy life and create your future. Even when you think you've moved on, the negative emotions can be triggered, sending you back into the pain of that experience. And we are talking about pain; emotions such as grief, depression, anxiety, fear (or terror), boiling anger, simmering resentment, feelings of shame, blaming and regret can leave you incapacitated to a greater or lesser degree. In this local event we will be discussing the reasons why these past bad experiences have the power to affect you long after they occurred. We'll go over why the emotional pain can be so strong. We'll also discuss some simple solutions to overcome your emotional pain and be free to fully enjoy your life again. Examples of painful experiences include: * A broken relationship or divorce. * Death or loss of a loved one. * Death of a pet. * A sudden shock or bad news. * A betrayal. * Being part of an abusive relationship. * A bad injustice. * Loss of a job, position or business. * A grave illness or injury. The negative emotions from these experiences don't just go away on their own. But the good news is there is a way to clear them out of your way. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is sponsored the Dianetics & Scientology Self-Improvement Center.
