So grab some beverages at the bar/cafe and get on with it every Thursday. **NEW** Venue: Tequila Tales Bar **NEW** Location: Ujezd 409/19, 11800 Malá Strana Timing: 1900-2200 (Every Thursday) \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- CZ Ahoj Pražáci!!

Join us for a hike around Czech Siberia- a snowy fairy tale land of forests, quarries, chateaux on snow and mud. 📜📚🗃 Resources: https://mapy.com/s/bakosadoda https://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C4%8Cesk%C3%A1_Sibi%C5%99 https://www.kudyznudy.cz/aktivity/ceska-sibir-drsny-kraj-v-jizni-casti-milicinske ⚠️☢️☣️ Whatever the FORECAST predicts for Sunday (currently just overcast with 1-3 °C throughout the day), it is just a FORECAST. Remember that meteorologists, politicians, teachers etc. bear no consequences for the quality of their work product and dress accordingly. Rain/snow/sleet/freezing fog is always a possibility, expect ICE and MUD. Trust me 😂 📍🗺️ **Trail** approx 25 km • ↑ \~550 m • ↓ \~550 m 🚌🚆🚄✈️**Travel** → express train R17 (R 321 Silva Nortica) + commuter train S90 (Os 8257), departs Praha hl.n. 7:46 ← hourly trains from Votice 🛍️🎒 **Gear & Paraphernalia** – Weather-appropriate outfit, comfortable footwear with good tread, (waterproof layer) – Tea/coffee/water and enough snacks to keep you going Time and again, I've received (mostly unsolicited) advice about gear. I've always taken it just like weather talk. When it comes from the old guard, usually meant well, I guess, just like Gilgamesh, trying not to become irrelevant, I try to take it in with respect. Lately, however, there seems to be this new thing shaming people for the lack of particular brand name gear, often from people who have achieved nothing much and don't really have any experience, except talk. And I really detest that. Beginners need support. At the same time, however, please use common sense: the desert can get both really hot and really cold. You need enough water. It can get windy. Your feet need protection. You need to see. Hiking is in my political opinion supposed to be a free and inclusive activity and I don't want to burden your already strained budget: you can get decent gloves free (with coupon and a purchase: just buy something from the 99 cent section) at Harbor Freight, same goes for a free LED lamp. A good USB rechargeable headlamp starts from $9 on Amazon. The Columbia outlet sells the omni-heat hats for $15 and a coupon + student/military/veteran/teacher or just about any other ID card should push it to around $9. Walmart has hiking shoes for $29 that I put hundreds of miles on without incident, and so can you. 🤑 Petty CASH and other expenses: None, aside from the train tickets (148 CZK ow, less on a group ticket or if you have INkarta) As always: (🧿) Use common sense (🧿) Leave no trace behind (🧿) RSVP with integrity; I need this to decide if to drive or take trains (🧿) If you can't stay with the group either because you want to hike at ftL speeds or can't use your head, then you should hike by yourself or stay home. At the same time, however, hiking is not the construction of a nuclear power plant, but rather a natural activity for humans. If you really want to take it scientifically, the local library system has quite a few resources. You can start with McManners, H. (1998). Hiking (101 essential tips). ISBN 9780789427762 and take it from there. Don't microwave the cat: Please be aware that your Meetup organizers are not tour guides and are not park rangers.

Mental Health, how do you understand it? How can you improve it? How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went? Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence? Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp. This group is hosted by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
