Deep Talk / In English
đ©đ° Let's have a weekly deep talk in an intimate Parisian cafĂ©, share a drink and have a good time with like-minded, lovely and chill people. đ„â
We're here to sip life in a childish, simple and non-serious way. đ
When was the last time you had a meaningful conversation? Or deepened your relationship with someone in your life? It's not easy to have a deep conversation.
While small talk, which is typically casual and light-hearted, can help break the ice, it may not necessarily help you form a deep, emotional connection with someone. Whether it's with your friends, family, colleagues or romantic partners, having meaningful conversations is important for creating strong bonds.
"Meaningful conversations help us understand ourselves and those around us better. They involve sharing important aspects of ourselves and actively listening, validating and connecting with others."
We believe that a happy and healthy life is built on beautiful relationships and that loneliness kills us. That's it. It's not the number of friends that counts, it's the quality of the relationship.
â
This group is adressed to :
â People who want to build deep, genuine and caring relationships in a small group that looks the same, where they feel comfortable and emotionally safe to talk emotionally and get intimate about anything in their lives.
â Simple, loving, kind, hyper/sensitive and lovely people who spend a lot of time in their bubble thinking about the meaning of life, passionate about personal development, philosophy, meaningful conversations, debates ....
â Please don't subscribe if :
â You don't see yourself in the group's aims and beliefs.
â You're travelling for a short period of time and don't live or intend to live in Paris.
â You are not sure if you will be able to come, please update your status to allow others on the waiting list to join. An absence without notice will result in an irrevocable ban.
Progress :
â â For reservations, I'll send you a private Meetup message at least 5 hours before the meeting to confirm your reservation. If I don't receive a reply 2 hours before the meeting, I will send you a second message to let you know that you will be replaced by someone on the waitlist.
â đ We keep the session small, cosy and relaxed in a quiet place, prioritising regularity to encourage intimacy, connection, listening and speaking. (\~ 5/6 people)
â đ On arrival, if you feel comfortable, you will be suggested to choose and associate several drawn Feelings and Needs cards to express how you really feel at the moment, to talk about ourselves and communicate effectively.
â đ The best way to make progress is to make the conversation easy and natural, with everyone making an effort to suggest and write down what you want to talk about. You can write down your favourite topics/questions before the meeting. The meeting is participative and invite everyone if you feel comfortable being a leader and a power of suggestion.
Anyway, to keep the meeting running smoothly, I'll animate the meeting to make sure the conversation doesn't get wild or boring and I wouldn't hesitate to reframe people. In case of lack of inspiration we have a lot of deep conversation question card game which can help to find interesting questions.
â đ (Not compulsory) After the meeting we can finish in a nearby restaurant for those who wish to relax or continue our conversation.
Advice for a good moment :
â Leave your ego and mask at home, we are not here to impress anyone but to be ourselves with our strength, weakness, pride and shame.
Come with an open/deep/emotional/complex thought and vulnerability.
â Ask open-ended questions and invite the other person to describe what a situation was like for them or how they felt.
â Don't hesitate to be vulnerable and share information about yourself if needed.
Consider sharing personal information first to gain the other person's trust.
â Adopt an attitude of curiosity and genuine interest in what the other person is saying. Be thoughtful and try to put yourself in the other person's shoes so that you can see things from their perspective. Be truthful, caring and honest.
â Listen actively and ask follow-up questions.
â Be empathetic and offer emotional validation so that they feel seen and heard.
It is forbidden to judge, but try to understand.
â â± Be aware of your speaking time for Equally Speak.
â đ€« Be aware never to provoke political or religious ideologies, but to accept differences of belief. Advice on non-violent communication can be given in the meeting to learn not to unintentionally hurt anyone when requested or needed.
â đš Remember to maintain a safe, and benevolent environment. People who are considered to be disruptive, problematic or simply not in tune with the energy of the group will not be allowed to return.
Finally, we're hug-friendly !!! đ€

Books & Coffee: Books Better Than Their Movies
There are many books that have won over their movies, some *catastrophically*!
For this time around, please bring along your favorite book(s) that you feel triumph over their screen adaptations, along with your reflections, thoughts⊠and complaints! đŹđ (Physical copies are always welcome for our little group photo tradition!)
Letâs gather to lovingly (or not so lovingly) pick apart what Hollywood got wrong, the missing scenes, the miscast characters, or that *one* change youâll never forgive!
This is a themed book club, so no required reading! Just come ready to share your strongest opinions and unexpected takes to discuss any book you'd like (preferably a classic.) :)
P.S. Iâll reach out before the event to confirm attendance. Please cancel in advance if plans change so I can adjust the reservation accordingly. Merci\~ đč
Frapper l'Epopée - A. Zeniter // Le ProcÚs-Verbal - J. M. G. Le Clézio
***Frapper l'épopée - A. Zeniter :***
"Alice Zeniter nous propose de suivre Tass, une professeure originaire de Nouvelle-Calédonie, de retour dans son archipel natal aprÚs une rupture amoureuse. Intriguée par la disparition de deux jumeaux kanaks parmi ses élÚves, Tass se lance à leur recherche tout en étant confrontée aux réalités du mouvement indépendantiste et du passé colonial de la Nouvelle-Calédonie.
Les critiques louent la maniÚre dont Alice Zeniter se sert des codes du roman colonial pour mieux déconstruire les mythes et les stéréotypes associés à la Nouvelle-Calédonie. Ils soulignent également la force de son récit et la richesse avec laquelle elle se propose de nous faire explorer l'histoire et de la culture de l'ßle" *(Le Masque et La Plume).*
***Le ProcÚs-verbal - J. M. G. Le Clézio :***
*"Le ProcĂšs-verbal* de Le ClĂ©zio traduit, une expĂ©rience dâordre intime voir dâordre mĂ©taphysique. Quand lâesprit refuse dâaccorder au monde la moindre cohĂ©rence, Ă la sociĂ©tĂ© le moindre intĂ©rĂȘt, que perçoit-on, sinon une rumeur confuse, une succession indiffĂ©rente dâimages, un univers dissociĂ© ? Certains sâen tiennent lĂ , chantres dâun dĂ©sespoir inĂ©luctable, comme Samuel Beckett. Dâautres vont demander Ă un « au-delà » ou Ă un « en deçà » des apparences lâenracinement dans lâEtre, le courant profond de lâexistence. Câest Ă ces mystiques de « lâen deçà », qui refusent autant la vie et ses lois que les dĂ©sespĂ©rĂ©s, quâappartient lâauteur du *ProcĂšs-verbal "(Le Monde).*
**Présentations d'auteurs**
Adrien présentera Alice Zeniter et Grace présentera Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio, merci à eux!
**Inscription**
Ne vous inscrivez, sâil vous plaĂźt, que si vous ĂȘtes sĂ»r.e de pouvoir lire au moins une des deux Ćuvres et d'ĂȘtre prĂ©sent.e le jour J.

Cycle Emile Zola - "Les Rougon-Macquart" V. 10 : "Pot-Bouille" (dßner littéaire)
Nous poursuivons le cycle consacré à Emile Zola et à sa série littéraire "Les Rougon-Macquart" avec le 10e volume :
**"Pot-Bouille"**
"Zola est entrĂ© partout, chez les ouvriers et chez les bourgeois. Chez les premiers, selon lui, tout est visible. La misĂšre comme le plaisir saute aux yeux. Chez les seconds tout est cachĂ©. Ils clament : « Nous sommes l'honneur, la morale, la famille. » Faux, rĂ©pond Zola, vous ĂȘtes le mensonge de tout cela. Votre pot-bouille est la marmite oĂč mijotent toutes les pourritures de la famille.
Octave Mouret, le futur patron qui révolutionnera le commerce en créant Au Bonheur des Dames, arrive de province et loue une chambre dans un immeuble de la rue de Choiseul. Beau et enjoué, il séduit une femme par étage, découvrant ainsi les secrets de chaque famille.
Ce dixiÚme volume des Rougon-Macquart, retraçant la vie sous le Second Empire, c'est ici la bourgeoisie cÎté rue et cÎté cour, avec ses soucis de filles à marier, de rang à tenir ou à gagner, coûte que coûte. Les caricatures de Zola sont cruelles mais elles sont vraies." Babelio
Pour la présentation d'auteur et le focus sur l'oeuvre :
\- SolÚne fera une présentation selon son choix ; choix qu'elle nous communiquera dÚs que possible\.
* Je fais le focus sur l'oeuvre.
Et n'oubliez pas !
Partagez, si sous le souhaitez, quelques mots, passages et/ou citations qui vous ont marqués, touchés, et qui vous semblent importants à partager avec le groupe et les participants.
Enfin, inscrivez-vous, je vous prie, uniquement si vous ĂȘtes sĂ»rs d'ĂȘtre de la partie.
Bien Ă vous tous, bonnes lectures, et Ă bientĂŽt !

PS : la cotisation est de 2 euros par personne et par an, mais elle reste facultative et n'est jamais nominative (les frais dus Ă la plateforme sont de 240 euros par an).

**After a violent car accident, a man lies suspended between life and death as fragments of his memories unfold. Love, regret, hesitation and missed words resurface in a delicate portrait of a relationship tested by time and indecision.**
**Directed by Claude Sautet and starring Michel Piccoli and Romy Schneider, Les Choses de la Vie is a quietly devastating meditation on love and the fragile nature of everyday choices.**
**âA tender, haunting exploration of memory and emotion.â**

âïžMaraude du coeur â„ïž
Une maraude, câest lâoccasion dâaller Ă la rencontre des sans-abris, de partager un cafĂ©, un peu de nourriture, des vĂȘtements et des kits dâhygiĂšne.
Mais une maraude, câest aussi et surtout oser se confronter Ă lâessentiel. Au-delĂ de nos prĂ©jugĂ©s, les femmes et les hommes vivant dans la rue nâont plus de superflu : ni dans leurs possessions, ni dans leur maniĂšre dâĂȘtre. Permettre la rencontre, et grĂące Ă cette rencontre, partager ce qui nous rend humains : la dignitĂ©, le respect, lâĂ©coute et la bienveillance. Sans rien attendre.
Nos maraudes démarrent à 18h30 par un point permettant à toutes les équipes de se coordonner avant de partir à la rencontre des personnes vers 19h maximum. Nous finissons la maraude par une conclusion à La Passerelle à 21h30.

Then we will go into a topic discussion.

Disc Tues / Choose Your Movie: THE CHRISTOPHERS vs NORMAL at the Gateway!
Join us as we get together for a Discount Tuesday / Choose Your Movie event to see your choice of two great new films! Option 1 (and the one I'll be seeing) is the top-reviewed comedy-drama, THE CHRISTOPHERS! The film is set in the art world and follows the estranged children of a former artist who hire a forger. It is directed by Steven Soderberg, stars Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel and has been earning rave reviews on the indie circuit. Option 2 is the latest action-thriller starring Bob Odenkirk, NORMAL! The film follows a temporary small-town sheriff who uncovers dark mysteries after a local bank robbery. Here are descriptions, trailers and our plan for this event:
THE CHRISTOPHERS: The children of a once famous artist hire a forger to complete some unfinished, long ago abandoned canvases so they'll have a better inheritance when he dies. It is directed by Steven Soderbergh and stars Ian McKellen, Michaela Coel, Jessica Gunning and James Corden. BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film is earning an excellent 97% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes where critics call it a âdynamic, emotional and surprising journeyâ and a âcompelling chamber piece that works like intellectual comfort food.â Others call the film, an âincredibly funny, comedy drama with plot reversals that make it feel like itâs on the verge of a thriller!â TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H79-EqzmdwY&t=20s
NORMAL: This action-crime-thriller follows a man who comes to the sleepy town of Normal, Minnesota to serve as the temporary sheriff. But a bank robbery leads him to a criminal underground reaches throughout the entire town. The film is directed by Ben Wheatley and stars Bob Odenkirk, Henry Winkler and Lena Headey. The film comes from the same team that brought us Nobody and the John Wick series, so expect an over-the-top, action-filled thrill ride! TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rmm-lM33Qw0&t=19s

CAP CITY FINE DINER: This upscale diner from Cameron Mitchell is known its âretro-coolâ atmosphere, modern twists on classic comfort food and their âshowstopperâ desserts! The menu reimagines nostalgic dishes like meatloaf, beef stroganoff, and pot roast with gourmet twists. The menu also offers vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options with lots of apps, cocktails, salads, sandwiches, burgers (including a black bean veggie burger), the most welcome return of their Veggie Plate (with Hummus) and more. Desserts include their 24K Carrot Cake, Coconut Cake and Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Pie.
Look forward to seeing you there, Dan

Housewarmers work with RMH guests to provide a home-like environment - greet, assist with family needs, answer phones, give tours, assist with checkin/checkout, prepare guest rooms after checkout, clean facility, laundry, restock supplies and staff the front desk.

Omnipresent Atheists Weekly Meetup (4th Tues)
Jimmy V's Grill & Pub in Grandview Heights. You are responsible for your own meal/drinks. We usually don't have any agenda other than eat, drink and talk. :)
This group has been meeting every Tuesday evening for over a decade. Many attendees do not RSVP on meetup. Please don't let the small number here discourage you. Anyone/everyone is welcome to come. We'd love to have you join us.
COTA bus #5 comes to W. 5th and Wyandotte Rd. And it's a minute walk to the restaurant.

Did you know that there are atheists everywhere?!?! You may not know it, but we are! We're in your schools, diners, police force, military, government, and some are even still in your churches! So come and join us and meet other local atheists, along with agnostics, heathens, humanists, skeptics, and anyone else who's 'hell bound'!
Vision: a Central Ohio that accepts atheism as a viable alternative in all areas of public and private life.
Mission: grow, support, and provide community for atheists in Central Ohio.
Social meetings held most Tuesdays at a local pub/restaurant at 7:00 PM (and often into the wee hours). Attendees call themselves agnostics, skeptics, humanists, non-theists, deists or even theists. All attendees are welcome but should support our vision.
Atheists of Columbus (AoC) is part of Omnipresent Atheists (OA). AoC members are invited to join this OA meetup and/or OA Facebook group ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/omnipresentatheists/ ) but are free to continue conversations on the AoC Facebook group ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/columbusatheists/ ). AoC was founded in 2012 as a networking, social group for Central Ohio area humanists, skeptics, atheists, agnostics, nonbelievers, freethinkers, and the curious. It was a member of Columbus CoR and held weekly meetings, mostly on Fridays, for several years but then operated as an online only group for some time. In November 2018, Omnipresent Atheists (OA), a group that routinely meets on Tuesdays, invited AoC to merge.
