**Step into the laid-back charm of Cosy Cave Conversations**, a Parisian philosophy chat that's more relaxed than a cat in a sunbeam 🐈 🌞 Gather with a bunch of easygoing souls, share thoughts on the good life and its mysteries, enjoy a beverage, and have a good laugh. A few things to be aware of: * **Please** **don't show up without a spot** (we aim to keep it cosy and we always have a waiting list these days — check if you’re on the list or the waiting list) * If it's your first event, it's essential you **turn up early, or at the latest on time (<7pm)** so you understand how it works, what the topic is and don't interrupt the session * The **session runs from 7pm to 8:30pm** where we focus on the discussion, but don't worry, you'll have a chance to socialise, introduce yourselves and continue the chat after the session. **If you’re running late** (the curtains are closed), that’s okay, but please wait to join us in the break rather than interrupting the session. * Please read the **tips below** for a good session before coming along **How does it work?** We embrace the café-philo method — proposing intriguing topics on the night (up to 3), choosing one together, and diving into everything from consciousness, community, death and god, while managing to keep it light and easy 🦦 **Forget the stiff atmosphere**, we're all about small groups (\~10 people) and unpretentious chats with no homework required. No need for a philosophy degree, just bring your open mind and a dash of curiosity. **Join us every Wednesday 19h-20h30 at Les Acolytes** — because pondering the profound is better with good company (and a pint). See you there! 🎉 A few tips for a great session: * come with an **open and curious mind** 🧠 * **prioritise listening to others and asking questions** without interrupting or long monologues 👂 * we put a strong **emphasise on giving everyone a chance to contribute to the discussion**, so try and be aware of how much space and time you take up when speaking 🐻‍❄️ * we prioritise **intellectual accessibility**: this is not an academic group therefore we ask to keep any philosophy jargon to a minimum and instead explain any concepts in plain english 🤠 * we are an **apolitical group** that focuses on discussing and exploring philosophical ideas without endorsing or aligning with any specific political or religous ideologies. Our aim is to encourage open, unbiased dialogue centered on philosophical inquiry within a safe and respectful environment 🐥

Bonjour à tous.tes ! Je m'appelle Emma, je suis l'organisatrice Practical Philosophy Paris :) Practical Philosophy est un mouvement né au Mexique et qui est présent partout dans le monde aujourd'hui. J'ai découvert Practical Philosophy au Canada et j'ai tellement aimé que j'ai décidé de l'importer à Paris (il y a aussi une branche à Lyon si vous n'êtes pas de la région). **🏛️ C’EST QUOI, LA PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY ?** Practical philosophy, c’est un rendez-vous hebdomadaire où des esprits curieux se retrouvent pour creuser un sujet, affûter leur façon de s’exprimer et tisser des liens. Pas besoin d’être un pro de la philo pour participer, tout le monde est le bienvenu ! 😎 L’idée, c’est que la philosophie, ce n’est pas juste pour les profs d’université. Chaque semaine, on choisit un thème et on en discute pour aiguiser notre esprit critique et nos talents de communicants. C'est aussi une manière d'apprendre à mieux se connaître soi-même, en affirmant et argmumentant ce qu'on pense réellement. Bref, on bosse sur trois piliers : **Pensée Critique**, **Communication** et **Communauté** 🙌. **📓 COMMENT ÇA MARCHE ?** Chaque semaine, on se focalise sur un sujet qu’on décortique ensemble. Le thème est annoncé, souvent via le [groupe Whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/KkFwIL85vly3UefjyheHXh), avec quelques pistes pour lancer les échanges. Les thèmes sont très variés et toutes les suggestions sont prises en compte (la beauté, la richesse, la loyauté...) Quand on est plus de 7 ou 8, on se divise en petits groupes pour garder une ambiance fluide et éviter que ça ressemble à une conférence. **Déroulé type d’une soirée** Voici comment se passe une rencontre : * **19h00-19h15** : On arrive, on papote, on fait connaissance dans une ambiance détendue. * **19h15-19h25** : Petit topo pour présenter Practical philosophie le sujet du jour, les règles et le timing. * **19h25-20h45** : On se répartit en petits groupes, on se présente, on partage nos premières idées sur le sujet, puis on passe à une discussion libre. Des questions “d’amorce” sont là pour guider si besoin, mais rien d’obligatoire. * **20h45-21h00** : Tout le monde se regroupe pour faire le point. Chaque groupe partage un résumé rapide (1 minute) de ses conclusions. On termine par un mot de l’organisateur et une photo de groupe. * **Après 21h00** : La partie officielle est finie, mais c’est le moment parfait pour prolonger les discussions autour d’un verre ou d’un café, histoire de renforcer les liens. **🧧 COMBIEN ÇA COÛTE ?** C’est **GRATUIT** ! Si on se retrouve dans un café, on vous demande juste de prendre une conso. **💛 CE QUE LES GENS EN PENSENT** 🗣 *“Le Club de Philosophie, c’est un endroit où on construit ses propres idées à travers différents points de vue, sans qu’on nous dise ce qui est bien ou mal.”* – Ekam 🗣 *“J’ai accroché dès le premier jour (le sujet était l’autorité) et j’ai tout de suite senti que c’était ma place. C’est un espace où on apprend, on découvre de nouvelles perspectives, on booste sa pensée critique et on crée du lien avec des gens qui challengent nos idées tout en encourageant l’ouverture d’esprit.”* – Daniel **🤓 FAQ** * **Faut-il préparer ou lire quelque chose avant ?** Aucune préparation nécessaire ! On ne révise pas les grands philosophes, on veut savoir ce que **vous** pensez. Si vous avez une idée inspirée d’une religion ou d’une école de pensée, partagez-la, on en discutera. * **Y a-t-il une philosophie spécifique au centre des discussions ?** Non, pas de dogme ici ! On veut entendre toutes les idées, sans se limiter à une école particulière, pour muscler notre pensée critique. * **C’est surtout des mecs qui viennent ?** Pas du tout ! Contrairement à l’image de la philo dans un salon sombre, nos rencontres sont équilibrées et sans ambiance lugubre ! * **Je peux venir seul(e) ?** Oui, on encourage même ça ! :) * **Et si je suis en retard ?** On préférerait que vous soyez à l’heure ! On a 15 minutes de battement au début si besoin. * **Où se passent les rencontres ?** Le lieu est annoncé sur Meetup et dans notre [groupe Whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/KkFwIL85vly3UefjyheHXh). On vous conseille de rejoindre le groupe ! Pour découvrir les autres villes où le Club existe, checkez notre [site web](https://www.practicalphilosophy.club/). **LE CLUB DE PHILOSOPHIE PRATIQUE – LA PHILO POUR TOUS ! ✨** On organise des rencontres hebdomadaires en présentiel dans plus de 25 pays, comme le Canada, l’Espagne, le Japon, le Mexique et bien d’autres ! 🗺️ **\*\*\*** **Rejoignez notre [groupe Whatsapp Paris](https://chat.whatsapp.com/KkFwIL85vly3UefjyheHXh) 👈** **Suivez-nous sur [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/practicalphilosophyclub/) 👈** **Visitez notre [site web](https://www.practicalphilosophy.club/) 👈** **✨ IF YOU ARE AN ENGLISH SPEAKER YOU ARE VERY WELCOME.

Join us on **April 8, 2026** at our Paris office for an evening at the intersection of data, AI, and public health, from making tap water quality transparent to every French citizen, to reimagining what clinical care looks like in 2030. Two speakers. Two projects. One shared conviction: complex data, in the right hands, changes lives. *** **6:30 – 7:15 pm \| Jérémy Greze\, Freelance Product × Data × Dev** **44 Volunteers, 10 GB of Open Data, 650K Visitors, and a Question in Parliament** *In October 2025, [dansmoneau.fr](http://dansmoneau.fr) went live — a site where any French citizen can check exactly what's in their tap water. Within days it was featured on the front page of Le Monde, with prime time TV coverage, and a question raised in Parliament. Budget: zero.* *Behind it were 10 GB of open government data, 44 volunteers from Data For Good, and the scientific expertise of Générations Futures. The data had always been there — public, collected monthly by health authorities — just buried and impossible to use. They made it accessible.* *This talk is the technical story of how they achieved this by designing the data pipeline, discovering that 10 GB is actually small data with the right tools, and rendering 24,000 water zones on an interactive map without crashing the browser. And if time allows — what the data actually reveals about PFAS, pesticides, nitrates, VCM, and perchlorate across France.* *** **7:15 – 8:00 pm \| Li\-Heng Fu\, Senior AI Solution Engineer\, Health & Life Sciences — Dataiku** **Building the Future of Care: Clinical AI in 2030** *"There are decades where nothing happens, and there are weeks when decades happen."* For decades, healthcare was a fortress of inertia — guarded by data privacy constraints, rigid workflows, and high-stakes accountability. Those walls are coming down. Not just because of technology, but because of the clinicians and builders choosing to lead the charge. Drawing on the latest Stanford ARISE AI research and emerging industry breakthroughs, Li-Heng will trace the shift from experimental benchmarks to real bedside applications — exploring the rise of multimodal diagnostic agents, ambient scribing, and autonomous healthcare assistants. The session closes with a harder question: as AI reshapes healthcare by 2030, what kind of patient-doctor relationship are we actually trying to build? *** The talks will be followed by open discussion and networking. Come ready to ask questions. *8 - 10PM: Meet & greet with drinks* ***Dataiku will only use your personal information to provide the product or service you requested and contact you with related content that may interest you.

Le vécu du deuil est large, que ce soit la mort d’un proche, d’un animal, suite à une disparition, à la perte d’un objet ou d’une situation fortement investie… Même si la prise en charge des personnes en deuil a évolué, ces personnes endeuillées sont souvent isolées. Nous parlerons du deuil et de la perte. L’intervenante vous posera des questions afin d’approfondir les problématiques du deuil, de la perte et de l’attachement. Nous ferons appel à l’écoute sensible et à l’observation participative. Cette écoute collective permettra de mettre en évidence dans quelles circonstances nous nions la mort et la séparation. Et dans quelles situations nous différons le deuil ou retardons sa résolution. Gratuit Il y aura une poster blanc sur la table pour nous reconnaître

Le Centre de Méditation Kadampa Paris a l’honneur d’accueillir Guèn-la Sangden, enseignante internationale, pour une conférence exceptionnelle. Nous aspirons tous à une vie heureuse, mais nous ignorons souvent comment y parvenir. Nous avons tendance à croire que notre bonheur dépend de facteurs extérieurs, comme un bon travail, un partenaire idéal et un environnement agréable. En réalité, nous ne pouvons pleinement profiter de ces conditions matérielles que si nous sommes serein et apaisé. Au cours de cette conférence exceptionnelle, Guèn-la Kelsang Sangden nous dévoilera la nature et le fonctionnement de l’esprit. Cette compréhension est essentielle pour accéder à la source du véritable bonheur qui réside en nous. Pourquoi participer à cette conférence ? * Recevoir des conseils pratiques pour maintenir un esprit léger et positif. * Goûter à la paix intérieure grâce à méditations guidées par une enseignante très expérimentée. * Découvrir la profondeur inégalée de la compréhension bouddhiste de l’esprit. De manière intellectuelle mais aussi expérientielle grâce à la méditation. * Repartir avec des prises de conscience qui nous seront utiles dans nos interactions quotidiennes. * Participer à un événement avec une enseignante internationale, qui a plus de 25 ans d’expérience de la méditation kadampa et vient d’être nommée directrice spirituelle générale adjointe de la Nouvelle Tradition Kadampa. ## Une occasion rare Cette conférence est ouverte à tous, que vous soyez novice en méditation ou pratiquant expérimenté. C’est une occasion rare d’apprendre auprès d’une enseignante d’une telle envergure, reconnue pour sa clarté, sa bienveillance et sa profonde compréhension des défis contemporains. ## Une enseignante internationale **Moniale bouddhiste depuis plus de 25 ans**, Guèn-la est l'**enseignante principale du CMK Mexico** et de directrice spirituelle nationale de la Nouvelle Traditon Kadmapa pour le Mexique, le Nicaragua, le Pérou et la Colombie. Marie-Catherine, pratiquante au centre, témoigne : « Elle est inspirante, pleine de force intérieure, et ses enseignements, profonds, me donnent toujours des clés concrètes pour le quotidien. » Il s’agit d’un événement spécial à ne pas manquer ! * https://meditation-paris.org/activites/comprendre-lesprit-la-cle-dune-vie-heureuse/ * Extrait vidéo avec Guèn-la Sangden : https://youtube.com/shorts/IEsUWiAtq1k?feature=share

Join us as we get together to get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event! We have a great little community of Movie Group friends so rather than see a movie this time, we’ll help “create a better world” by helping serve those in need. Here are complete details and our plan for this event: FAITH MISSION – GRANT KITCHEN: The Faith Mission kitchen and dining room serves residents 3 meals a day, every day of the year. For this event, our group will help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents in the dining room, wash dishes, and clean surfaces. PLAN: We will be preparing / serving / cleaning for BRUNCH from 10:30am to 12:30pm and have space for a total of 7 volunteers. Please arrive at 10:20am and wear closed-toe shoes and long pants. LOCATION: Faith Mission – Grant Kitchen is located at 245 N. Grant Ave. Enter the kitchen at Dock 1 (in the back of the building), indicated in the attached map. On-site parking in the adjacent lot and street parking is available in the surrounding area. Below are some links / attachments with additional info/details: IMPORTANT REMINDER: Our group will be providing all of the volunteers on this day so a firm RSVP count is essential. Please only sign up if you are certain you’ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please try to update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. With few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve. Our Partner Agency for this event is Lutheran Social Services! A huge THANK YOU to all of YOU for volunteering at this (and any of our previous) CMG Gives Back events! Should be a good/fun/meaningful time together, Dan

Sleep in on Sundays. When you've had your fill of pajama-time, roll out and have some tasty brunch with your fellow Humanists!

The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event. We will be hearing from Becca Powell, Director of Advocacy and Outreach at Unchained At Last, an organization whose mission is dedication to ending forced and child marriage in the United States through direct services and systems change. Unchained At Last's mission clearly meshes and addresses several of our Humanist Ten Commitments. Becca will educate us about an issue many of us may not be familiar with--but should be. Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid.

**Caller: Kim Thompson** **Band: Full Moon Country Dance Orchestra** **Clinton Heights Lutheran Church** **15 Clinton Heights Ave, Columbus, OH 43202** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/) Please bring your own refillable water bottle.

Come assist Van Buren Shelter (https://ymcacolumbus.org/locations/vanburen) staff in serving dinners and cleaning up on the 3rd Tuesday of each month. Dinner for the women is 5-6 pm and for the families is 6:15-7:15 pm. There is ample free parking available in the shelter's lot. The recommended area to park is in green in the image above. There will be a new entrance for the time being. We are asking all volunteers to enter through the Donation Dock door, the orange mark on the image above. This door is located between the Single Adults and Family Shelter. You will see 2 large garage doors with a large green trash compactor in the center. Please head to the closest garage door to the building wall, with a ramp leading up. There, you will see a door with a sign stating instructions on how to enter the building. Please ring the doorbell, and a staff member will come and escort you into the building. If a staff member takes longer than 5 minutes, please call the front desk at 614-689-2020. This is a new process for us, and we do not want to keep you waiting! We appreciate your patience as we navigate this temporary change. The shelter needs a volunteer count the day before the event so sign-up ends Monday at 4:50 PM. Afterwards some of us go to the Omnipresent Atheists Weekly Meetup in progress to have a bit to eat or drink (http://www.meetup.com/omnipresentatheists/). Volunteers must be 14 or older. Since we will be working around families, the YMCA does not permit volunteering by individuals with convictions for violent or sexual crimes. The YMCA reserves the right to run background checks on volunteers. For questions, comment on this page or contact: Andrew, awhit12@yahoo.com, (614)937-5802 (cell). Please let Andrew know if you volunteer anytime other than our COUNT events so that he can count your hours toward our service record.
