From light party games to deep strategic battles, the shelves are open.
Entry fee: 50 CZK if you drink something, 100 CZK if not

TANCHEERNA ๐๐ถ Dance Friending for Absolute Beginners ๐ค๏ธ
**The most enjoyable way to meet new people without going clubbing! โจ**
Tancheerna is unlike any dance event youโve ever been toโthere are no complex routines or staring at your feet. We hit the play button at 19:00 and start right away with fun group dances that are so simple, even children can do them.
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 donโt 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**.
At 21:00, we wrap up the music and head to the nearby bistro for drinks and socializing.

Symposium
Join us for Symposium! ๐๐ป๐ณ
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 laughingโguided 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. Thereโs 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 venueโso 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, youโre 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 hostโs 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.
Support Group for Failed Meditators & Other Spiritual Misfits
You went on that retreat, read the book, committed to meditating daily. And here you are at 3 am, drunkenly staring down a ลฝiลพkov 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!
Weโll 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.

The Bar Nomads ๐คฉ๐น #1 Social Mixer in Prague
**The ABSOLUTE BEST place to be on a Saturday night in Prague! ๐คฉ๐น**
Every Saturday, we take over a stunning venue right in the city center and give you **total freedom to mingle at your own pace**. Thereโs no hand-holding, name tags, or stiff corporate icebreakers hereโjust a room full of great people skipping the small talk and **sparking real connections**. โจ

Open philosophical discussion in the heart of Prague

**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 donโt exchange only argumentsโฆ**
**Even though I normally donโt 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?**
