The Art of Connections (CBST) Debrecen, Hungary

Welcome to Debrecen this March!

A training devoted to the quiet, courageous work of becoming a community

Debrecen, Hungary’s second-largest city, with its vibrant university life and many-layered cultural rhythms, offers a fitting backdrop for our time together. Here, a group as diverse as the city itself will meet: people of different ages, faiths, life experiences, and perspectives, united by a shared intention — to move gently from separation toward connection.

Across three days, we will explore the 14 guidelines that support real human meeting — practices that help a group remain safe, honest, and deeply attentive. Rather than settling for light, effortless conversations, we will learn what it means to arrive as we are, to listen without defending, and to let the unfolding of the community guide us.

These guidelines are not rigid instructions but doorways. They invite us to walk a path from distance into presence, from assumption into understanding, from polite coexistence into genuine encounter.

This gathering is an invitation to step into a space where differences are honored as openings, not barriers — a space where we practice what our world so often longs for: choosing belonging over division.

We look forward to welcoming you in Debrecen.
