15. AAH! rođendan, 15+ restorana, 3 dana uživanja! 

Wine & Jazz Experience 2020

Beograd, 6 – 8. februar 2020. 

Za ljubitelje vina, jazz muzike i pasa. Jednostavno za Hedoniste!

Povodom 15. godina postojanja Asocijacije Autentičnih Hedonista, organizujemo festival 

‘’Wine & Jazz Experience’’.

O čemu se radi? Hedonišemo i doniramo!

Ovo nije klasičan festival gde ćete kupiti kartu i sedeti u publici. Ne! Ovde učestvujete i uživate! Zamišljeno je kao dobro druženje uz vino i jazz. A gde je kvalitetno piće i dobra muzika, tu su i prijatelji. Za Hedonizam dovoljno!

Festival je humanitarnog karaktera. Sav novac koji sakupimo od donatora je namenjen za prevenciju, lečenje i vakcinisanje još neudomljenih pasa.

Our CHO (Chief Hedonist Officer), Mr. Dragan Đorđević as a guest on the show ‘Beogradska Hronika’:

On World Cookery Day, which is celebrated in the world on October 20, AAH! Authentic Hedonist Association (www.aah.rs) has officially celebrated the promotion of ‘’Gourmet Networking’’ – book by Dragan Đorđević as well as the opening of AAH! Food Lab, a kitchen where the boundaries of cooking will be moved, under the slogan easily, authentically and quickly.

 Hotel ‘Hyatt Regency’, Club ‘Ellington's’  February 7, 2005 – all in one, at the same time! Many authentic Hedonists celebrated the beginning of AAH era! 

HEDONISM – YOUR SPICE OF LIFE! 

Together we enjoyed in various things such as chocolate, cocktails, interesting drinks, music and above all great company. Special moments of the evening were oriental dancers, and then a game with authentic Hedonistic awards!

Everyone enjoyed through the night! More than 200 guests and about 50 media representatives were having fun, while positive energy and a wave of enthusiasm was in the air! President of AAH! – Chief Hedonist Officer,  Mr. Dragan Ðordević, was surrounded by journalists,  explaining with a smile what will be the main goal of AAH!

Mr. Ðordević officially presented the AAH! Concept and invited people to enjoy their lives and have some small Hedonistic experience every day! 

The effect was complete when he compared human life with the length of a rope. He cut it into small pieces, just as our worries, quarrels, work and poor health shorten the effective use of our lives. And this last remaining part is what we give to ourselves, what we enjoy doing, what makes  our life authentic.  
It is, at the same time, the aim of AAH! – gathering all true Hedonists with the goal of improving or even extending that part of life.

Oriental dancers, and btw one of them was the champion of the state, made this event even more entertaining. They were wearing authentic dancing costumes and spreading great positive energy.

Hedonistic awards – a pizza, shirts, massages – were drawn out, and the main prize was a weekend for two at “Hyatt Regency Belgrade” hotel. All media representatives received, with press material, some Hedonistic gifts as well.

We must admit that we were expecting a good response from all Hedonists in our country, but the number of calls and e-mails sent to AAH!  exceeded our expectations. This suggests that the desire for enjoyment never stops, and that our wishes are achievable, regardless of the economic situation. 

AAH! goal is reminding people to enjoy in all seemingly small things, strengthening of ties between people, the exchange of ideas and experiences, as well as better acquaintance with all areas of Hedonism.

Of course, after the end of the evening, the guests greeted each other with the word ‘Enjoy!’ , the usual greeting of  AAH! Members

Vision

Our vision is that thanks to AAH! all people on the planet smile, are positive and enjoy life! 

Please remember some facts about  Smile:
 
* It costs nothing and it works miraculously
* It is the best natural anti-anger medicine
* Makes a happy house, it greets a friend, helps sealing the deal
* It cannot be bought or stolen, it has worth only when given
* It is a curved line that can straighten things (Vukajlija)

The smile makes you younger, removes stress and changes your mood…If there is not at least one good reason for a smile a day, the day is wasted!
 
Smile… Beautiful things happen when you smile!

Djole the Hedonist…let's meet our chief Hedonist consultant!

 
In the world of Hedonism we don’t count  years. However, those who know him, claim that he is full of life in his best years. Born in HedonOpolis, a city in the warmest parts of the planet, but travels around as much as he can ☺. For astrology lovers, they say that he was born in the Aries sign.
 
For years, Djole was trying to find his path in life, however, he was lucky – he did not have to choose his profession. Hedonism comes to our lives on its own, and many are born that way!
 
And while he discovered new ways to enjoy himself, he also met us: the Association of Authentic Hedonists. We have somehow ’’clicked’’ and since then we have not separated :o)

Who's Djole?
 
If you accidentally thought Djole was a cute little teddy bear, you were wrong! Djole is our chief consultant for Hedonism. Very serious and responsible position!

 
Djole's life is quite ‘tough’. He travels across Serbia, region, the world, shares stories with people and reveals new ways to enjoy. Through  years, Djole was pleased to receive a special award for contributing to culture and language. During these colorful studies on various aspects of enjoyment, Djole found a new interest: Hedonism!
 
‘Hedonism’ entered the anthology and became the official name of the ’’ Hedonopol’’ language, accepted by all people and nationalities throughout the universe (Jupiter's are particularly oriented towards Hedonism :o)).

That is precisely why our CHO (Chief Hedonist Officer), Mr. Dragan Đorđević, in 2005, issued a decree on writing the word Hedonism. The word Hedonism is ALWAYS written in capital letter ‘H’, regardless of place in the sentence, time of year, space location, etc…!
 
So, he travels, tries food and drinks, goes to theatres, cinemas, massages, concerts, tries new cars and regularly follows sports. In this way, 13 sections of Hedonism were established.

 
What is it that few people know about Djole?

In addition to researching all over the world and bringing us news and recommendations, Djole has an unusual purpose. Djole can be your best friend!
 
If something is bothering you, in the evening before bedtime, tell everything to Djole in details. 

Why?
He certainly will not tell anyone
You will share your troubles and…
Then you can go to bed in peace. Djole brushed away your troubles :o)

And for the end, the message from Djole for all of us is that:
 
Hedonism strengts organism!
 
Enjoy your life and, whenever possible, share your Hedonism with someone else.
This will make your life even more beautiful :o)
 

Enjoy!

Are you looking for a way to do something nice and special for yourself and/or others? Want to give your friends or colleagues something really special and original, but you don’t have an idea or time?
We suggest  AAH! Master Class as a gift that will not be forgotten. 

Master Class sessions are designed to gain new or more knowledge in the following Hedonistic areas: Cocktails, Whiskey, Cognac and Cigars, Wines, Champagne, Chocolate, Cooking, Golf, Dance and Tea.

‘MasterClass’ is an international name for the type of education held by experts in its field. When it comes to Hedonistic skills, AAH! instructors and associates will familiarize all the beginners with the basics of individual Hedonist areas.

You are wondering how to give AAH! Master Class as a gift? Do it by purchasing a Hedonist gift voucher.

Who is MasterClass meant for?

For your loved ones

Do you have a friend who would like to learn more about different types of wine and the way they are properly consumed? Or for example, your son would like to learn to prepare cocktails, and your friend loves dancing, but they just cannot make themselves attend a class?

This is a chance to give them something unusual. In addition to gaining knowledge in the areas they really like, also they will have fun. At the end, they will tell everybody how they got amazing gift. And what is also important, new skills they can use in everyday life.

For business partners

One of the secrets of business success is to be innovative and different from others.
Instead of inviting your business partner to a lunch / dinner like so many others, take them to a Master Class. As you shake cocktails together or enjoy good cognac and cigars, your communication will become more relaxed, and the business relationship will strengthen.

Do not forget your business associates. The Hedonist gift voucher for the Master Class can be a great way to thank them for their outstanding dedication or to motivate them to improve their work.
Master Class is also a great opportunity for a team building, to strengthen the team spirit through mutual learning and socializing with a lot of fun.

About the Master Class program

It's held at AAH's headquarters in Belgrade, more precisely in the pleasant atmosphere of Experience center. It can also be held in English.
If you create a group of 10 or more people, MasterClass can be held at the place you choose – in Belgrade or outside of Belgrade, for example as part of your team building, annual conference, and so on.

Upon completion of the training, all participants receive the AAH! certificate, as well as photos to remember the class.
