Social Run : Courir en conscience
Et si la course était un moyen de mieux se connaître ?
Le Socrate Social Run, c’est un format simple :
* 7 km en groupe
* Allure accessible (\~6 min/km)
* Un temps d’échange après la course
* Un moment convivial
Ici, on ne vient pas chercher un chrono.
On vient vivre une expérience.
Le concept :
Courir ensemble, être attentif à son souffle, à ses sensations, à ses pensées qui apparaissent dans l’effort.
Des exercices pratiques pour voir comment le mental peut être un allié dans l'effort.
Le module explore les thématiques suivantes :
* Comprendre sa relation à l’effort physique,
* Repérer ses automatismes (comparaison, impatience, découragement, manque de souffle),
* Découvrir ses ressources naturelles,
* Apprendre à écouter son rythme,
* Expérimenter l’alignement entre corps, souffle et attention pour donner le meilleur.
Après la course :
Un débrief simple et concret pour partager ce qui a été vécu, croiser les regards, approfondir l’expérience entre coureurs.
Puis un moment convivial autour d’une boisson

Exerçons ensemble notre pensée à partir d'un texte philosophique !
Les mots agissent comme une fenêtre ouverte dans une pièce trop étroite. Ils ont l’air de rien quand on les regarde là, posés sur le papier, et pourtant ils ont la force de soulever le monde.
Pour ce Printemps des Poètes, cet atelier est une invitation à fréquenter tous les grands vivants qui ont su garder les yeux ouverts et résister quand tout s'assombrissait. Nous irons puiser à la source de ces grands veilleurs issus de cultures et de traditions différentes, à différentes époques de l’histoire de l’Humanité.

Les Scènes Ouvertes : En avant, Liberté !
**Pour le Printemps des Poètes, donnons vie à la Liberté !**
Musique, chant, poésie, théâtre, conte... Venez assister ou vous exprimer sur scène !
*"L'art est un simple divertissement".*
*"La scène est réservée aux experts".*
*"La poésie est un luxe inutile".*
A Nouvelle Acropole, nous pensons précisément le contraire.
**L'art, c'est ce qui nous rend pleinement humains. Pour notre école de philosophie, l'Art est la sagesse faite Beauté.**
L'être humain a encore quelque chose à dire, quelque chose d'unique qui dépasse la simple consommation de contenus numériques.
Un poème déclamé, une chanson partagée ou une histoire racontée sont autant de fenêtres que nous ouvrons sur d'autres réalités que nous pouvons partager.
Offrons une scène pour que chacun puisse exprimer ou écouter ce qui est beau, ce qui l'inspire, ce qui résonne.
> *"Non, c'est bien plus beau lorsque c'est inutile !"* Cyrano de Bergerac
**Donnons forme à ce qui nous habite.**
**Lieu** : Espace Le Moulin, 48 rue du Fer à Moulin 75005 Paris
**Cette activité a lieu après** **un atelier poésie qui aura lieu de 15h à 17h :**

L’Amour aux temps du choléra – G. G. Márquez / Tonio Kröger – T. Mann
En mars, nous vous proposons une rencontre autour de :
**L'Amour aux temps du choléra - Gabriel García Márquez**
À la fin du xixe siècle, dans une petite ville des Caraïbes, un jeune télégraphiste pauvre et une ravissante écolière jurent de se marier et de vivre un amour éternel. Durant trois ans ils ne vivent que l’un pour l’autre, mais Fermina épouse Juvenal Urbino, un jeune et brillant médecin. Alors Florentino, l’amoureux trahi, se mue en séducteur impénitent et s’efforce de se faire un nom et une fortune pour mériter celle qu’il ne cessera d’aimer, en secret, cinquante années durant. L’auteur de Cent ans de solitude et de Chronique d’une mort annoncée, prix Nobel 1982, donne libre cours à son génie de conteur, à la richesse de son imagination et à l’enchantement baroque de son écriture.
**Tonio Kröger - Thomas Mann**
Peintre puissant de la bourgeoisie allemande avec Les Buddenbrook, Thomas Mann publie à vingt-huit ans ce bref roman, une de ses œuvres les plus révélatrices de son débat intérieur.
Jeune écrivain prisonnier de l’introspection et de la réflexion sur son art, Tonio Kröger est fasciné par son contraire : ceux qui vivent sans réfléchir, abandonnés à leurs instincts vitaux, comme son camarade Hans et la belle Ingeborge, dont il s’éprend. L’art et la pensée seraient-ils morbides ? La vraie vie résiderait-elle dans la sérénité heureuse et terre à terre des gens « normaux » ?
Dans cet étonnant portrait d’un homme qui ne parvient pas à s’approuver, le grand romancier, prix Nobel de littérature en 1929, mêle la réflexion philosophique à l’analyse des tourments de l’âme, avec une lucidité et un dépouillement qui font de ce roman une œuvre classique au meilleur sens du terme.
**Présentations d'auteurs**
André présentera Gabriel García Márquez et Jean-Pierre présentera Thomas Mann.
**Inscription**
Ne vous inscrivez, s’il vous plaît, que si vous êtes sûr/e de pouvoir lire au moins une des deux œuvres et d'être présent/e le jour J.
Au plaisir de se rencontrer, débattre, discuter, autour d'un verre !
Sunday badminton - 12pm Intermediate/Advanced
Hi Badminton Fans!
Come and join us every Sunday for a fun session of badminton. There are usually 2 sessions to choose from.
**This session is open to intermediate level players and above ONLY.** What that means is that you should be comfortable with short serves to the T, doubles rotations, and smashes.
There is also an open session at 11 am for players of all abilities. See the separate event just above.
**Which Session To Choose**
If you're unsure of your level, sign up for the 11am session to start or ask us! We try our utmost to ensure that you play with people of similar levels.
**What Do You Need**
Don't worry about equipment; racquets and shuttlecocks are provided, and there's no need for a badminton license or insurance. Just bring your indoor sports shoes, and a willingness to meet new friends and have lots of fun.
There are changing rooms and showers.
**Get There Early**
Try and get there early to change and get warmed up so that we can start right on time. The courts are normally not being used before we play, so we can get a little extra time playing.
**Registration & Payments**
Registration is 14€ per person, and you can sign up via PayPal through this event page. For alternative payments, check for available slots on the event page first. Then, submit your payment via https://revolut.me/jonathwu3q with a description of which event you are signing up for and send the screenshot to one of us so that we can add you.
*Please Note: If your name is **not** in the attendees list and you do not have confirmation from us, you will be turned away.*
**Annual Membership Option**
For regular players, there is the option to take out an annual membership. This costs 80€ for the first year and is renewable each year for 40€. This reduces the weekly registration fee to only 10€ per session.
**No Refunds**
In the case of a cancellation or no-show, there are no refunds.
See you all on the court on Sunday.
Happy badminton-ing!
Kelvin (0603250357) and Vijay (0767341832)
**FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS**
1. I don’t speak French, can I join?
* Yes! We are an international group and everyone speaks English!
2. Are there still available slots? I can’t sign up! Help!
* Check the bottom of the event page for availabilities. Once full, RSVPs will be closed. Sign up as early as possible because the events fill up very quickly.
3. I signed up, but I can’t make it! Can I get a refund?
* No refunds for cancellations or no-shows. If you inform us early enough, we can try to find a substitute and refund you, but no guarantees.
4. Why can’t I get a refund?
* We need a fixed number of participants to maximize court usage, court fees, team arrangements, and team rotations. Cancelations throw all of this off.
5. Do I need to bring anything? Water? Racquets? Birdies?
* If you have your own racquet, that will be best! Otherwise, we have spare ones and we provide the shuttlecocks. Bring enough water to hydrate yourself.
Deep Talk / In English
Let's have a weekly deep talk in an intimate Parisian café, share a drink and have a good time with like-minded, lovely and chill people. ☕
We're here to sip life in a childish, simple and non-serious way.
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.
✅ This group is adressed to :
● 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.
● 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 ....
⛔ Please don't subscribe if :
● You don't see yourself in the group's aims and beliefs.
● You're travelling for a short period of time and don't live or intend to live in Paris.
● 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 :
● ❗ 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.
● We keep the session small, cosy and relaxed in a quiet place, prioritising regularity to encourage intimacy, connection, listening and speaking. (\~ 5/6 people)
● 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.
● 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.
● (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 :
● 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.
● Ask open-ended questions and invite the other person to describe what a situation was like for them or how they felt.
● 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.
● 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.
● Listen actively and ask follow-up questions.
● Be empathetic and offer emotional validation so that they feel seen and heard.
It is forbidden to judge, but try to understand.
● ⏱ Be aware of your speaking time for Equally Speak.
● 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.
● 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 !!!
Cycle "Classiques" - "Faust" J. W. von Goethe et "Dracula" B. Stoker (dîner)
Ce dimanche 18 janvier, dans le cadre du cycle consacré aux oeuvres classiques, nous avons voté pour :
**1 - "Dracula de Bram Stoker**
"Jonathan Harker, jeune et brillant clerc de notaire, se rend pour affaires dans les Carpates, où réside son client, le comte Dracula. Celui-ci se révèle un hôte chaleureux et prévenant, mais la curiosité incite Jonathan à pousser son exploration de l’immense château toujours un peu plus loin...." Babelio
**2 - "Faust" de Johanna Wolfgang von Goethe**
"MÉPHISTOPHÉLÈS : - Je veux ici m'attacher à ton service, obéir sans fin ni cesse à ton moindre signe ; mais, quand nous nous reverrons là-dessous, tu devras me rendre la pareille.
FAUST - Le dessous ne m'inquiète guère ; mets d'abord en pièces ce monde-ci, et l'autre peut arriver ensuite.
**Pour les présentations d'auteurs et les focus sur l'oeuvre :**
\- Richard fera une présentation de J\.W\. von Goethedonner du contexte à nos échanges ainsi que le focus sur l'oeuvre soit "Faust" ;
\- Bétrix fera une présentation de Bram Stoker pendant une dizaine de minutes et le focus sur l'oeuvre soit "Dracul"\.
***Aussi, on peut lire l'un ou les deux oeuvres programmées !***
Et n'oubliez pas !
Partagez, si vous 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 êtes sûrs de la partie.
Bien à vous tous, bonne semaine, bonnes lectures aussi et à bientôt !
Jélila
PS : la cotisation est toujours de 2 euros par personne et par an (frais d'organisation Meetup);
Aussi, je suis contrainte d'annuler les inscriptions de tous ceux qui n'ont pas honorés leur engagement dernièrement.

Using Philosophy to Cope with Current Events
So this month's prompt is more general. I think we can all agree that we are living in "unique" times that require coping skills. I think that one role and/or purpose of philosophy is to help us deal with our daily lives and our "unique" times. So, let's share our feelings and thoughts about which philosopher/philosophy we turn to in order to deal with our crazy events. Who/what helps you stay focused in your daily life and helps you sleep at night. I find that Stoicism with a little philosophical pessimism mixed in goes a long way in helping me deal with what I see as very destructive, fearful and mean spirited public policies at both the state and federal levels. Hope to see you on March 28th!
