As I am starting to develop some sensitivity to different qualities of touch and weight balance, I wish to further explore by practicing push hands with different partners of all levels and all styles (Bagua, Taichi, Yiquan, Aikido...), in a gentle, soft, and non-competitive way. Just having fun exploring what happens, what works and what doesn't. Noticing what's not working also helps moving forward in the right direction towards the real and surprising skills of internal arts I only have a few years experience of Taichichuan. There is a nice garden near Republique when we could meet to practice during the week at lunchtime, if that time slot suits you. Thanks!

🍷 Why become a volunteer? We invite you to join our team of volunteers to organize fun activities while enjoying a free drink, a small perk, but things are moving forward as we aim to support organizers. For organizers, the first drink is free! It’s a great opportunity to meet new people, practice different languages, and discuss how you can, if you wish, contribute to the evolution of the Socializus project. Whether you’re a graphic designer, a developer, or looking to develop your skills in communication, event planning, or another field, you’re welcome. Our goal is simple: support organizers and promote friendly meetups and language exchanges. Over time, our community has grown to become the largest in Paris, and we’re thrilled to bring together people from diverse backgrounds to share great moments. Our initiative is driven by a non-profit association. This means we move forward slowly, with the resources we have, but always with the desire to create connections and support organizers who want to develop similar events. **Practical Info:** 🕖 From 9:30 PM 💸 Free with the Socializus pass on the free app! 📲 WhatsApp for quick info:[https://chat.whatsapp.com/IVuEzaPwe0h4iRHglUZWoa](https://chat.whatsapp.com/IVuEzaPwe0h4iRHglUZWoa) **How to participate:** Check the exact address with the free app and free pass:[www.socializus.org](http://www.socializus.org) Or support the association with an annual membership card:[https://www.placeminute.com/event/afterwork/apero-linguistique-dans-un-bar-secret,36046.html](https://www.placeminute.com/event/afterwork/apero-linguistique-dans-un-bar-secret,36046.html) **Stay connected:** 🔹 Meetup –[https://www.meetup.com/internationals-events-paris/](https://www.meetup.com/internationals-events-paris/) 🔹 WhatsApp (info & day-of reminders):[https://chat.whatsapp.com/IVuEzaPwe0h4iRHglUZWoa](https://chat.whatsapp.com/IVuEzaPwe0h4iRHglUZWoa) (Activate “Receive all” to stay in the loop!) 🔹 Facebook Group –[https://www.facebook.com/socializing.with.internationals.in.Paris/](https://www.facebook.com/socializing.with.internationals.in.Paris/) 🔹 Facebook Page – Photos, memories, and updates:[ ](https://www.facebook.com/groups/afterwork.paris)[https://www.facebook.com/socializing.with.internationals.in.Paris/](https://www.facebook.com/socializing.with.internationals.in.Paris/) 🔹 Socializus:[www.socializus.org](http://www.socializus.org) 🔹 Become an Organizer:[https://chat.whatsapp.com/KtR79S8Obfs3WTPTIBsoCm](https://chat.whatsapp.com/KtR79S8Obfs3WTPTIBsoCm) ✦✦ Last-minute changes can happen, but everything is updated via the app with the free pass.

*[English below]* **Profitez de la belle saison pour vivre un "Bain de forêt" qui invite chacun.e à se reconnecter à la joie et l'émerveillement que la forêt nous offre.** Lors d'un bain de forêt, nous alternons entre des temps de silence et des moments de partage. C'est à la fois introspectif et joyeux, pour (re)trouver de la détente et de la légèreté. * Pour en savoir plus sur les bains de forêt, cliquez [ici](https://laurabrav.fr/bains-de-foret) Le point de départ de cette sortie est la gare de Bois-le-Roi à 11h (ou Gare de Lyon à 9h50 pour prendre le R de 10h05). Le retour se fait à 18h depuis Bois-le-Roi (arrivée Gare de Lyon 18h45). * **Les horaires peuvent varier selon la météo** **Tarif** : en participation consciente *(le montant "équilibre" pour moi serait une moyenne de 35€ par participant.e mais le plus important est que ces journées soient accessibles à tous.tes !)* *NB : je n'utilise pas Meetup come outil pour les inscription. Pour voir les détails pratiques et logistiques de cette sorties* : [c'est ici ](https://forms.gle/Go6Gppi3pdREP81j6) \-\-\-\- **Let the return of the gentle weather be an opportunity to reconnect to the wonderment that the forest offers.** During a forest bathing outing, we alternate between silent introspective moments, and joyful shared practices, so as to find relaxation and cheer.

Anyone with a heart for service is welcome to join us as we work together to make a positive difference in the lives of others. Community members are also invited to contribute by bringing helpful items for those in need. Donations of items can be contributed at the meeting and will be distributed to assist members of the homeless community.

Main Library, Meeting Room 2B Join us for a welcoming evening of reflection, gentle music, and meaningful conversation. We’ll begin with a short grounding moment, followed by a brief reading from spiritual or philosophical traditions, and an open reflection circle where participants can share (or simply listen). Libera Animae is an interfaith community focused on inner growth, creativity, and authentic connection. All backgrounds are welcome.

Join us for the Columbus Animal Advocates spring social at Goodale Park! We'll be sharing delicious vegan cookout dishes, playing games, and socializing. Come out to meet CAA, learn more about what they do, relax, and enjoy the beautiful spring weather with other animal lovers.🐷🐮🌱 Just bring yourself, some friends, some lawn chairs, outdoor games if you want, and an appetite! The food was so good last time 😋 If you want to bring a vegan dish to share, you are welcome to, but it's not required. If you cannot find the group when you arrive, just message below and someone will come guide you to us. I hope some of you can come out to join!

Join us as we get together to see your choice of two VERY different movies – one sweet and wholesome – the other a terrifying folklore horror! Option 1 is the fun whodunnit-action-comedy-mystery led by Hugh Jackman, THE SHEEP DETECTIVES! Option 2 is the top-reviewed supernatural-horror-thriller starring Adam Scott, HOKUM! Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: THE SHEEP DETECTIVES: Every night a shepherd reads aloud a murder mystery, pretending his sheep can understand. When he is found dead, the sheep realize at once that it was a murder and think they know everything about how to go about solving it. The film is directed by Kyle Balda and take a look at this ensemble cast: Hugh Jackman, Nicholas Braun, Molly Gordon, Hong Chau and Emma Thompson and the voices of Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Bryan Cranston, Chris O'Dowd, Regina Hall, Patrick Stewart, Bella Ramsey, Brett Goldstein and Rhys Darby. TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyZI5oM6hWk HOKUM: In this film, a horror writer visits an Irish inn to scatter his parents' ashes, unaware the property is said to be haunted by a witch. It is written/directed by Damian McCarthy stars Adam Scott, Peter Coonan, David Wilmot, Florence Ordesh and Austin Amelio. Hokum premiered to rave reviews at this year’s SXSW Festival and is being release by Neon. It is earning a stellar 97% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which calls it, “A classic haunted house story enriched with atmospheric folklore and perfectly-timed shocks!” TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVCIK_MPyhc PLAN: We’ll plan for a 7pm-ish showing of both films and will meet inside the theater lobby about 20 minutes before showtime. If the showtimes work out, we’ll try to get both groups together for a bite before the shows! Complete details and showtime will be confirmed/announced as the date gets closer. Look forward to seeing you there, Dan

12:45-3:45 p.m. in the Meeting Room, library lowest level, by the drinking fountain. Bring your yarn projects, meet new friends. If you plan to attend, please RSVP yes. If you can’t attend, please change your RSVP to no. This helps anyone who is waitlisted and it allows me to have an accurate count of attendees as our space is quite limited. Plenty of parking in the lot, in the overflow lot across the street, and on the street. See you there!

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.
