How much do we trust the things people tell us? Why do we sometimes trust some people immediately, while others need time to earn it? Can trust be rebuilt once it is broken? Should we trust our intuition or rely more on our analytical skills and critical thinking?

At our next meeting we’ll discuss trust - in friendships, relationships, work, media, online spaces, and ourselves. Come share your perspective - and perhaps reconsider what trust means to you :)

Please pay attention: we moved to a different place - House of Balance, a coffee shop at Varvarskaya, 32 (Nizhpoligraph building).

And as always - please sign up and pay in advance, before Saturday, 10 AM 🙂

Also I'd like to understand what you guys think of the new place, House of balance. I'll leave a poll below so you can vote (please also leave comments if you have something to say)

Thanks for the feedback, guys! I see you enjoyed being at the House of Balance, so let's keep gathering there. But what about time? For some people Sunday morning is the perfect time to sleep more, or do some chores. Besides, it could be problematic to get there by 11. So, what if we move our meetings to a later time? For example, 11:30 or 12:00? Please vote in the post below

Hi guys! I'm facing a tough choice - you've voted equally for both 11am and 12pm. Let's try 12 this time and see what happens.
I will announce the new topic in a few minutes 🙂
P. S. I'll run a poll later to understand if the time slot was okay. I'm curious if the cafe gets crowded by 14 - if yes, we'll probably move back to 11, but it's all up to you

If you travel somewhere, one of the essential things to learn in the local language is how to buy something and pay for it. We are surrounded by the things we consume - whether it’s a chocolate bar from the supermarket, a cinema or a train ticket, or a bunch of items from Ozon or WB that you bought at 1 a.m. and only God knows when they’ll be useful (not entirely my story, but I know people like that 😅).

So, let’s talk about our consumption habits. Do you buy a lot, or do you try to spend your money wisely? Do you like to stock up for a rainy day, or do you prefer to focus on the present? And how does the ease of consumption nowadays affect you and the environment? Let’s share our thoughts this Sunday at 12:00!

This Sunday, we’ll be discussing what suits you more: tradition or progress, or a mix of the two?

Tradition is about familiar routines, habits, and the comfort of the known. Progress is about change, new ideas, adapting, and stepping outside your comfort zone. So, which side do you relate to more?

Join us on Sunday at 12:00 and share your thoughts with us :)

🍂 The days are getting shorter, the air is becoming cooler, and the streets are about to turn gold, red, and orange. Autumn is arriving — and it’s the perfect topiс for our next discussion.

We’ll talk about everything this season brings: rainy-day moods, warm sweaters, favourite comfort food, seasonal traditions, autumn trips, school memories, Halloween, and the small things that make this time of year feel special. Do you love long walks under colourful trees, or would you rather stay inside with a blanket, a book, and a cup of tea? What is autumn like in your hometown? Is it a season of inspiration, change, or maybe a little nostalgia?

Come and share your thoughts! 🍁

🕚 Guys, please take a note, I've changed our starting time to 11 AM this Sunday.

I think The House of Balance may get a little crowded by 1 PM: they've invited an artist who will draw your portrait on a coffee cup for an extra price (+350₽, from 1 till 4 PM). If you're interested, feel free to participate too 🍁

See you on Sunday, 11 AM :)
