〜 tea & zen stories 🍵
welcome to the unplugged club Budapest ✨
join us for a slow afternoon of tea, thoughtful stories, and meaningful conversation.
we'll put our phones away for a few hours and create space to pause, listen, and reflect together ☻
You don't need to know anything about Zen or meditation. Curiosity is enough.
We'll be meeting in a very special location: Okūma - a beautiful, quiet, intimate tea space designed to help you slow down in the heart of Budapest. 🍵✨
For this gathering, we'll have the tea lounge reserved exclusively for the unplugged club, giving us a private and peaceful space to reflect and share without distractions.
〜 What to expect
✧ Break through mental blocks: Zen koans (stories and riddles) challenge conventional logic, helping you break free from rigid thought patterns and look at challenges from a fresh perspective.
✧ Mindfulness in a cup: Use the simple ritual of brewing and tasting tea as a grounding exercise to restore your focus and inner calm.
✧ Meaningful connections: Engage in authentic, high-level dialogues with like-minded individuals who value both mental well-being and personal growth.
〜About zen stories
Zen stories are brief, often unexpected, and intentionally open-ended. They invite us to slow down, question our assumptions, and look at familiar things from a different angle.
Master Zhaozhou once simply said: "Go drink tea". Whether you are searching for answers or seeking a moment of peace, everything you need is already within this present moment. Step away from the daily grind, pick up your cup, and rediscover your center.
〜The tea
For this gathering, Okūma has prepared a special menu exclusively for our group, with a choice of hot or iced tea .
The participation cost is from 2,000 HUF , which includes both the private use of the space and tea . It's a wonderful opportunity to experience one of Budapest's most unique tea spaces while enjoying a slow afternoon together.
