Kovács Ferenc „Öcsi” and his daughter, Kovács Sára Dizna

music, martial arts and gastronomy workshop

Further members: Tóth Balázs - kendo, Miklós Csaba and Merci - chefs

Öcsi is mostly known as a musician: he established his own band, Magony  but used to play and still plays in many well-known formations, like Dresch Quartet, Szabados György MAKUZ, Balogh Kálmán Gipsy Cimbalom Band, and Djabe. With his unique style he's left his mark on the last 30-40 years of Hungarian music life.

The others know him as a martial artist, a kendo player. Some has seen his selfmade wood furnitures and stone sculptures.

One of his virtues is cooking art, just like making wine and palinka. If you want to join his complex table as musician or martial artist, you will have the chance to get an insight into all of his activities.

His daughter, Sára, also joins him:

"With Sára, we'd like to create a tranquil inner place (right side from the Danube-entrance) where we'll do liberating chakra-opening activities with our own and already existing mantras and with directing the attention inward. The ultimate goal is not only happiness and feeling good but to get to know the path of pure light.

With Balázs Tóth, we'll make an other step forward that is to cut the unnecessary thoughts or motions with the means of kendo, the path of the sword. We'll pay special attention to involve the disadvantaged people but believe me, I've never met a perfect person, or someone who considered himself/herself as such. And if someone said so, he will be disappointed or if needed, we'll lead him to total breakdown, from where he can start to build his more real Self. This finding is the initiation task of the Magony Table.
