Hello everyone, Welcome to the Monthly Book Club, the discussion edition of the Budapest Silent Book Club for those who enjoy reading the same book and sharing their thoughts together. This month, we’ll be reading Humble Pi by Matt Parker a funny, surprising, and eye-opening book about what happens when maths goes wrong in the real world. From computer glitches and engineering mistakes to everyday miscalculations, the book shows how deeply our modern lives rely on numbers and how absurd the results can be when something goes slightly off. It’s an entertaining read that opens the door to conversations about technology, logic, human error, and the strange ways small mistakes can lead to very big consequences. 🕕 **Time:** 18:00–20:00 – Group discussion about the book (no silent reading hour this time) 📍 **Location: Csiga Cafe**

El objetivo de este encuentro es romper el hielo, hablar de las historias que nos gusta escribir, de por qué escribimos, de los libros que nos gusta leer, de qué dificultades encontramos al enfrentarnos al folio en blanco y de qué esperamos del grupo. En definitiva, se trata de conocernos como personas para entendernos como escritores. No importa si has escrito diez novelas, cuatro cuentos o el precioso título de un poema sin versos. Aquí todo aspirante a juntaletras es bienvenido.

**Looking to connect with other business-minded people in Budapest?** Come join us for a laid-back evening with fellow entrepreneurs, freelancers, and creatives living and working in the city. There’s no formal agenda – just good vibes, real conversations, and a chance to meet others who understand the ups and downs of building your own path.

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.

Sziasztok! **English below** Szeretnél egy kis szünetet tartani a rohanó városi életben? Vagy csak kipróbálnál valami újat egy jó társaságban? Nálunk egyszerű és nagyszerű a koncepció: mindenki hozza a saját könyvét, amiben egy órán át, teljes csendben haladhat. Az olvasás után pedig jöhet a legjobb rész, a kötetlen beszélgetés, ahol megosztjuk egymással, ki mit olvasott. Hogy miről szoktunk beszélgetni? Bármiről! A témáink a madarak evolúciójától kezdve, az Ubuntu (a boldogság afrikai filozófiája) szemléletén át egészen addig terjedhetnek, hogy milyen hatással van a Hold a szervezetre. **Fontos:** Ez egy teljesen magyar nyelvű esemény. A bemutatkozó kör az elején és a kötetlen beszélgetés a végén is magyarul zajlik. Az olvasás csendje persze mindenkié, így nyugodtan hozhatsz bármilyen nyelvű könyvet. 📍 **Helyszín és Találkozó:** Irány a Margit-sziget! A közös találkozási pontunk a **Zenélő szökőkútnál** lesz. Onnan együtt keresünk egy kényelmes, árnyas-füves helyet a sziget közepén. Keressetek egy könyvekkel felszerelt csapatot, mi leszünk azok! ⏰ **Késel egy picit?** Semmi gond! Ha már nem találsz minket a találkozási ponton, nézd meg az esemény kommentjeit – oda fogjuk kiposztolni a pontos koordinátákat, hogy hol telepedtünk le. **MIt hozz magaddal?** * Az aktuális könyvedet. * Egy plédet vagy pokrócot, amin kényelmesen elhelyezkedsz. * Inni- és rágcsálnivalót ízlés szerint. **A Menetrend:** * **14:30–15:00** – Találkozó és helykeresés. 14:40-ig várunk a megbeszélt ponton, majd együtt keresünk egy zöld területet, ahol megtartjuk a bemutatkozó kört. * **15:00–16:00** – A csendes olvasás órája. * **16:00–17:00** – Választható beszélgetés a könyvekről (magyarul). * **17:00- –** Kötetlen beszélgetés A részvétel ingyenes, de a helyek korlátozottak. Kérlek, mindenképpen jelentkezz az eseményre, ha jönnél! Várunk szeretettel! 📌 [Goodreads](https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/1271292-budapest-silent-book-club) 📌 [Facebook Page](https://www.facebook.com/people/Budapest-Silent-Book-Club/61567388151835) \*\*\* **✨** **Önkéntes hozzájárulás** A meetup regisztráció költségeire gyűjtünk adományokat, hogy eseményeket az eddig megszokott színvonalon és nyitott emberek között tarthassuk.

Private Group. Closed to the Public Knowing ourselves and understanding our abilities is the first step toward wielding our gifts with control and accuracy. In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected. The goal of our series will be to develop expertise in areas of particular interest such as mediumship, channeling, divination, healing and, etc.. Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve. I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia
