Ainsi, grâce à la lumière utilisée comme source d’information, nous n’avons pas besoin de toucher les étoiles ou les planètes pour connaître leur composition. Sur Terre, nous pouvons aussi reconnaître des poudres explosives ou des produits illicites. Nous savons sonder les pigments de tableaux anciens et découvrir les techniques picturales utilisées par Léonard de Vinci. La lumière nous invite à un fabuleux voyage à travers le temps, l’espace et les technologies ! 🎙️**Intervenants:** Les physiciens **Vincent Boudon**, **Arnaud Cuisset**, **Cyril Richard**1 et **Maud Rotger** 📝 **Inscription (Gratuit) :** [Conférence - Peut-on voir l’invisible ?](https://billetterie.cite-sciences.fr/activites.html?tx_site_offerbooking%5Boffer%5D=741&tx_site_offerbooking%5Bshow%5D=2534955191312000023&cHash=d107982122e88658829d549f58ebce0c&_gl=1*nt84mf*_up*MQ..*_ga*OTc4MDI2ODQ3LjE3NzgyNTA1MjA.*_ga_Y1RMK6SM9Z*czE3NzgyNTA1MTkkbzEkZzEkdDE3NzgyNTA3ODEkajQ5JGwwJGgw*_ga_GDBZL979Q1*czE3NzgyNTA1MTkkbzEkZzEkdDE3NzgyNTA3ODEkajQ5JGwwJGgw) 🍺 Après la conférence, pour celles et ceux qui le souhaitent, nous pourrons continuer la discussion autour d’un café ou d’un verre à proximité — pour *échanger librement sur ce qui nous a marqué, poser des questions, ou simplement prolonger le moment.* Par exemple au cet resto Turque : [Éfendi Grill House](https://maps.app.goo.gl/86EKe86RwGgmCsAk8?g_st=ipc) ▶️ **Diffusion en direct** La séance sera également diffusée en direct : **[https://www.youtube.com/live/DH3t2Abmolw](https://www.youtube.com/live/DH3t2Abmolw)** À très bientôt pour explorer l’Univers ensemble ! 🌌 **P.S. :** Nous publions également ici des événements à la croisée des sciences et des lettres : [Paris Cultural Outings Circle](https://www.meetup.com/paris-cultural-outings-circle/) 🌼🍀 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 **Dear Group Elements,** (Yes, just like elements of a [mathematical group ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_theory)🙂) Let’s attend this conference together: **[Can We See the Invisible?](https://www.cite-sciences.fr/fr/au-programme/activites-spectacles/conferences/saison-2026/les-insolites?_gl=1*1oad29j*_up*MQ..*_ga*OTc4MDI2ODQ3LjE3NzgyNTA1MjA.*_ga_Y1RMK6SM9Z*czE3NzgyNTA1MTkkbzEkZzEkdDE3NzgyNTA3NzUkajU1JGwwJGgw*_ga_GDBZL979Q1*czE3NzgyNTA1MTkkbzEkZzEkdDE3NzgyNTA3NzUkajU1JGwwJGgw#item-grid-190853)**[ ](https://www.cite-sciences.fr/fr/au-programme/activites-spectacles/conferences/saison-2026/les-insolites?_gl=1*1oad29j*_up*MQ..*_ga*OTc4MDI2ODQ3LjE3NzgyNTA1MjA.*_ga_Y1RMK6SM9Z*czE3NzgyNTA1MTkkbzEkZzEkdDE3NzgyNTA3NzUkajU1JGwwJGgw*_ga_GDBZL979Q1*czE3NzgyNTA1MTkkbzEkZzEkdDE3NzgyNTA3NzUkajU1JGwwJGgw#item-grid-190853) 🌌 **Conference Description** 🔭 Light carries within it the signature of every material it encounters along its path. Thanks to light as a source of information, we don’t need to touch stars or planets to know their composition. On Earth, we can also detect explosive powders or illicit substances. We can analyze the pigments in ancient paintings and uncover the techniques used by Leonardo da Vinci.

**Pourquoi cet atelier ?** Mille richesses et mille compétences dorment en nous mais personne, y compris nous-mêmes, ne les a suffisamment reconnues. Elles ne demandent pourtant qu’à s’affirmer, de façon juste, pour devenir nos alliées dans notre vie personnelle et professionnelle. Mobiliser nos ressources, les conjuguer avec celles de nos proches, créer avec eux de nouvelles richesses, les partager équitablement : ce n’est pas un rêve... juste un chemin à explorer. **Pour qui ?** * Pour celles et ceux qui ont été freinés plus que soutenus dans la prise de conscience de leurs richesses de toutes sortes... * ...et qui ont besoin d’affirmer plus joyeusement leur puissance d’exister et d’agir. **Comment cela se passe ?** * Le groupe comporte entre 4 et 10 personnes. Chaque séance dure environ 2 heures ; * Les participant.e.s y travaillent alternativement par deux et en grand groupe ; * Ils explorent leurs propres richesses selon différentes approches. **Quels bénéfices pour les participants ?** * Dans cet atelier, vous pourrez nommer vos richesses et vous en réjouir ; * Puis les affirmer dans le monde social, et y vivre mieux.

As some of you know, I suffered a pretty nasty back injury last summer, and have been trying to be proactive about healing, relieving pain and preventing reinjury since. I know many of us in this group are working in front of screens and/or living a relatively sedentary lifestyle. I am pretty sure those factors contributed to my own back issues. Wanted to spread the word about [John Raven's SpineTuned](https://www.spinetuned.com/) classes as it has been one of my "quick wins" that doesn't require medication and has brought relief. John teaches his classes in English at different locations in Paris. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- Join us for a specialist-led session on relieving back and joint pain and improving posture through natural alignment. John Raven, from [SpineTuned](https://www.spinetuned.com/), has conducted successful demonstrations at various health events, including INSPIRELLE's "Unstoppable You Coaching Event." This is a wonderful opportunity for Members who would like to benefit from practical solutions to everyday posture challenges. Experience how a few simple shifts in how you sit make you feel better over and over again. **An individual assessment** will show you exactly where the problem lies and what to do. This empowering, restorative class is for all ages and body types. You’ll leave feeling better than when you arrived—and with tools you can use anytime, even while sitting at your desk. **Spaces are limited.** **\*\*\*Please wear looser-fitting softer pants—jeans do not work well!\*\*\*** [John Raven](http://www.spinetuned.com/) is a certified SpineTuned instructor who has been studying the art of natural pain-free posture and movement for 17 years and teaching it for 8. As an expat in France, John serves as a bridge between the pioneering French experts and the leading American teachers of this groundbreaking work. With deep connections to both groups, he is dedicated to sharing the profound benefits of SpineTuned and ensuring its impact is passed on to future generations.

[Version française en dessous] Hi! We are aiming to recreate the atmosphere of the Franglish language exchange sessions : you get 30 minutes with a language partner speaking the language you want to practice, then switch to another partner, all while enjoying a drink! Equal time for everyone, and everyone will get to practice! For example if you are an anglophone and want to practice French, you will be paired with someone, speak English for 15 minutes, then switch to French for 15 minutes. After that, you will get a new partner, and start all over again. There will be a 5€ entry fee (in cash or with the Lydia app), and participants will have to buy one drink or get something to eat. We will take a short break at around 8:30, and that will be the perfect time to grab some charcuterie, cheese, or mixed board for 13€. Salut ! Nous souhaitons recréer l'atmosphère des rencontres Franglish : 30 minutes avec un.e partenaire qui parle la langue que vous voulez pratiquer, et ensuite vous passez à un.e autre partenaire, le tout en profitant d'un verre ! Autant de temps de parole pour tous et toutes, et tout le monde pourra pratiquer ! Par exemple si vous êtes anglophone, et vous souhaitez pratiquer le français, vous serez en face de quelqu'un qui parle anglais pendant 15 minutes, puis vous passerez tous les deux au français pendant 15 minutes. Après ça, vous changerez de partenaire, et tout recommence. 5€ de participation (en liquide ou avec l'appli Lydia) seront demandés à l'entrée, et les participants devront commander une consommation. Nous ferons une courte pause vers 20h30, qui sera l'occasion de profiter des planches charcuterie, fromage ou mixte à 13€ proposées par le café.

**🟡🟢🔵** SUGGESTiON / INViTATiON **🔵🟢🟡** 😍🌊☀ **Samedi 30 mai**, viens participer à une escapade pour découvrir des incontournables de Normandie ☀ Ensemble découvrons la charmante **Venise de Normandie : Pont Audemer** où nous parcourons la ville et les canaux et ferons notre pause déjeuner 🥗.

**History** The [Franklin Park Conservatory](https://www.fpconservatory.org/)’s roots trace back to 1852 when the Franklin County Agricultural Society purchased 88 acres of land to host the Ohio State Fair. After the fair moved to its permanent home, the city of Columbus transformed the grounds into Franklin Park in 1884. This transition shifted the space from a temporary event site to a dedicated public green space for the growing community. The park became a central hub for outdoor recreation and early civic gatherings in the neighborhood. In 1895, the landmark Victorian-style Palm House opened its doors, drawing heavy inspiration from the Glass Palace of the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. This iron and glass structure became an immediate icon, housing exotic plants that residents would otherwise never see in the Midwest. It remains the oldest part of the facility and serves as a primary link to the conservatory’s 19th-century origins. For decades, it stood as a singular testament to grand horticultural architecture in Central Ohio. A major turning point arrived in 1992 when Columbus hosted AmeriFlora '92, an international horticultural exhibition. This massive event prompted a $16 million renovation and expansion, adding significantly more greenhouse space and the Dorothy M. Davis Showhouse. The festival put the conservatory on the international map and fundamentally changed its scale and ambition. Following the event, the facility transitioned from a city-run park to a private, non-profit organization. In 2003, the conservatory’s identity was further defined through a long-term partnership with world-renowned glass artist Dale Chihuly. After a successful exhibition, the Friends of the Conservatory purchased most of the glass installations, creating the largest permanent collection of Chihuly’s work in a botanical setting. These vibrant glass sculptures are now woven throughout the biomes, blending art with nature. This addition helped cement the conservatory as a premier cultural destination rather than just a botanical garden. Recent years have seen the site expand beyond the glass walls to emphasize community engagement and outdoor education. The 2018 opening of the Scotts Miracle-Gro Foundation Children’s Garden added two acres of interactive landscape designed for hands-on learning. The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company Community Garden Campus also provides local residents with space to grow their own food and learn sustainable practices. Today, the conservatory balances its historic Victorian charm with modern commitments to local ecology and the Columbus community. **Maps of the Conservatory** Here is the [main map](https://www.fpconservatory.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/franklin-park-zones-scaled.jpg) of the Conservatory grounds. Here's a [map of the areas](https://www.fpconservatory.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/ConstructionMap-2026.jpg) in which the Conservatory has ongoing construction (see below). **Summary** For this event, we'll explore Columbus's highly-rated and very popular Conservatory. As mentioned above, the Conservatory is doing renovations on parts of the facility. These renovations are scheduled to be ongoing until the Fall of next year. Basically, no matter when you go to the Conservatory over the next 18 months, you're going to see some metaphorical orange barrels. So let's just go now. **Tickets and pricing** On the first Sunday of every month, the Conservatory is free for residents of Franklin County and the city of Columbus. You must bring an ID to receive this discount. (Yes, they do check.) Otherwise, tickets are $25.20. Members of the Columbus Zoo (of which I am one) do get a discount on tickets, though I have never actually bought a ticket to the Conservatory (I've always gone on free days). I believe the discount is $4. Parking is always free. If you have additional questions about pricing or whether and for what you qualify, you can reach the Conservatory at 614-715-8000. **Where we'll meet** We will meet just outside the main entrance. I guarantee there's going to be a line. The Conservatory is always popular on free days, and especially in nice weather. **Your GPS is stupid!** Be careful simply typing "Franklin Park Conservatory" in your GPS and going where it tells you. The only way to access the parking lot to the Conservatory is off of Broad Street. Unfortunately, since Google Maps is unable to find its way out of a wet paper bag, it has a tendency to want to take people to a mythical, non-existent Conservatory entrance on Nelson Road. If your GPS does this, just drive to the north side of the Conservatory along Broad Street. Your GPS should then redirect you to the main Conservatory entrance. If your GPS doesn't, then throw your phone away\* and look for the big Conservatory sign on the south side of Broad Street between Nelson Road and Franklin Park West. You also should be able to use the map pin I've provided, below, and it should properly direct you to where you need to drive. \* Don't really do this. **After the event** After stopping to smell the roses, for those that are interested, we'll head to the nearby [Columbus Brewing Company Beer Hall](https://columbusbrewing.com/location/beer-hall/) for [drinks](https://columbusbrewing.com/location/beer-hall/#draft-list) and [lunch](https://columbusbrewing.com/location/beer-hall/#food-menu). The Beer Hall's actual address is [200 Kelton Ave, Columbus, OH 43205](https://www.google.com/maps/place/200+Kelton+Ave,+Columbus,+OH+43205/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x883889a94ac4acad:0xadb2e60240dbc38b?sa=X&ved=1t:242&ictx=111) (it's literally just on the south side of the Conservatory). Be sure this is where your GPS is taking you when you use it, as the Brewing Company has a taproom on Harrison Avenue that is *not* what you want for this event. We should be at the Beer Hall by 1 if you can't make the Conservatory and just want to join us for drinks.

It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor.

Tuesday, June 2nd, 5:00–8:30 PM Eastern Central Ohio Chapter Meeting IN PERSON IN COLUMBUS How I Get Private Lenders and Partners to Fund My Deals If you can’t fund it, you don’t have a deal.

You’ll hear how they’re finding money, structuring deals, and building relationships that lead to repeat funding. Here’s what you’ll learn: * Where they’re finding private lenders today * How they start conversations that lead to funding * What makes lenders and partners say YES * How they structure deals to be fundable * The biggest mistakes investors make when raising money * How to build repeat funding relationships **Early Session (6:00–7:00 PM Eastern):** **Having Trouble Finding Tenants? How Community Shelter Board Can Help** Nicholas Brenner will walk you through programs designed to help rapidly rehouse tenants, including financial support that can stabilize your rentals. **The Deal Room (7:00–7:30 PM Eastern)** Bring deals, funding needs, buyers, and problems.
