🍩🍰 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 !!! 🤗

Bonjour à tous, Je suis Marin, entrepreneur spécialisé dans le coaching sportif en ligne. J'ai le plaisir de vous convier à une session de coworking pas comme les autres, ouverte aussi bien aux freelances, entrepreneurs ou salariés en télétravail. **Pourquoi ce meetup ?** Dans notre univers numérique, qu'on soit entrepreneur, freelance ou en télétravail, on ressent souvent le besoin de sortir de l'isolement. C'est dans cet esprit que j'ai imaginé un espace où nous pourrions nous réunir pour échanger, partager nos expériences, et travailler côte à côte. **Lieux de Rencontre :** Nous varions les plaisirs en organisant ces sessions dans divers cafés et espaces publics à travers Paris. Chaque lieu est choisi pour sa convivialité et son ambiance propice au travail et à la discussion. **Comment rejoindre ?** Si cela vous intrigue, **je vous invite à m'envoyer un message privé sur Meetup. Je vous intégrerai alors dans notre groupe WhatsApp de coworking**, où vous pourrez découvrir l'ambiance de nos rencontres. **⚠️ Les ajouts au groupe se font hebdomadairement, donc pas d'inquiétude si je ne réponds pas immédiatement 😉** **Les Conditions ?** Rien de plus simple : **un message privé de présentation et vous êtes parmi nous !** C'est totalement gratuit et ouvert à tous. **⚠️ Les ajouts au groupe se font hebdomadairement, donc pas d'inquiétude si je ne réponds pas immédiatement 😉** Hâte de vous rencontrer et de partager ensemble des moments de travail collaboratifs et stimulants.

Bonjour, Je souhaite que vous vous portiez bien. C'est avec beaucoup de JOIE ☀️ que je prends le temps de vous écrire ce message. Le dimanche 21 juin à 15h, j'organise une Rencontre dans le domicile familial à Vitry-sur-Seine (94). Cela fait maintenant plusieurs années que j'ai vécu une Ouverture du Coeur (en 2010) en méditant. Il y a le souhait de "rendre" tout ce que la Vie m'a Offert 🌸 ces dernières années. J'accompagne depuis plusieurs années les êtres à faire la Paix 🕊️ avec leur chemin de vie. Il est possible de voir une partie de l'accompagnement que je propose ici : https://sexualite-nouvelle-terre.com/ Je souhaiterais maintenant partager cela en présentiel et en groupe. Voici une idée du programme : \- Méditation en Groupe \- Identification de certains mouvements à l'intérieur du corps \- Cercle de Parole \(pour ceux qui souhaitent s'exprimer \- il n y a pas d'obligation dans ce sens\) \- Questions/Réponses Bien évidemment tout cela peut bouger dans la forme en fonction de ce qui est Vivant ✨ Nous terminerons ce programme par un Repas indien que ma mère aura préparé. Cette Rencontre s'adresse aux êtres qui souhaitent se Connecter à la Simplicité du Vivant (ou de l'Enfant). On pourrait le voir également comme une Rencontre avec des êtres faisant partie de la même famille d'Âmes. La Rencontre sera en donation 💸 libre le jour J (surplace) et suivant ce qui vous parait le + Juste 💎 Je vous invite également à sentir si cette rencontre est pour vous. Si c'est le cas, vous sentirez un écho 🤍 à l'intérieur pour valider votre démarche. Au Plaisir de vous rencontrer tout bientôt. De tout Coeur, Sridar PS : J'ai mis 21h00 comme heure de fin à titre indicatif. Ceux qui le souhaitent pourront également partir plus tôt.

Lyric writing weekly group practice. A few object writing rounds to start, get our reps in — a favorite from the canon, Write Better Lyrics by P. Pattinson.* Followed by other exercises. I adapt the program depending on who shows up. *Object writing : a noun picked through a random word generator, a 10 min timer to delve into our sensory imagination and free-flow with this prompt. We then take turn sharing.

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€.

Happy badminton-ing! Kelvin (0603250357) and Vijay (0767341832), **FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS** 1. I don’t speak French, can I join? * Yes!

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.

Ce soir dans le cadre du cycle général, nous avons voté : **01 - "L'oeuvre au noir" de Marguerite Yourcenar** "En créant le personnage de Zénon, alchimiste et médecin du XVIe siècle, Marguerite Yourcenar, l’auteur des Mémoires d’Hadrien, ne raconte pas seulement le destin tragique d’un homme extraordinaire. C’est toute une époque qui revit dans son infinie richesse, comme aussi dans son âcre et brutale réalité ; un monde contrasté où s’affrontent le Moyen âge et la Renaissance, et où pointent déjà les temps modernes, monde dont Zénon est issu, mais dont peu à peu cet homme libre se dégage, et qui pour cette raison finira par le broyer..." Babelio **2 - "Les orphelins "d'Éric Vuillard** "...Soudain, le vide se fit en lui. Son petit corps se contracta tout entier, il trembla ; et, à cette minute, il sut qu’il serait toujours seul. Une terrible angoisse lui remonta par le bas du ventre. Il aperçut à contre-jour la gueule de Cahill, la mort lui parut proche, toute proche ! Sur sa joue, il sentit le soleil, son harmonie mortelle, sa beauté. Il eut envie de pleurer. Alors, les visages des soldats, des garçons vachers qui faisaient cercle autour de lui, s’évaporèrent dans le néant. Sa main se faufila jusqu’à l’arme, et il tira."Eric Vuillard ***On peut lire l'un ou les deux livres programmés.*** Pour les présentations d'auteurs : * Thomas nous parlera de Marguerite Yourcenar * Mélodie nous fera une présentation d'Éric Vuillard ; Pour les Focus sur l'oeuvre : * Mélodie fait celui de "Les orphelins "; * J'ai oublié de noter le nom de celle ou celui qui fait le focus de L'Oeuvre au noir ***Comme toujours, on peut lire l'un ou les deux livres programmés.*** 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 êtes sûrs d'être de la partie. Bonnes lectures, bonne semaine aussi ! Jelila

Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD

Monthly working lunch for Columbus business owners. One specific topic, one to three actions you can run this week. You can be the best at what you do and still be invisible. If local buyers cannot find you, the phone does not ring. Marketing Monday Lunch + Learn is a monthly working lunch for Columbus business owners focused on building relationships, local networking, and local marketing. Every kind of local business welcome. No pitch round, no pressure, no upsell. **This month** Most local businesses pick one or two places to be visible and call it good. The result is inconsistent calls and a feeling that marketing is not working. We will walk through the three places every local business needs to show up, plus the fourth place most owners ignore that quietly produces the warmest leads. **What to expect** Doors open at noon. Order lunch and drinks at the cafe counter or bring your own. You get real conversation with other local owners and a focused marketing lesson. You leave knowing people and with one to three actions to run that week. The room is reserved through 1:30 PM. **Who this is for** Any local business owner who wants clearer marketing direction and real local relationships. Service businesses, retail, home services, professional services, online owners building local presence, anyone serious about being part of the Columbus business community. **Not the right fit if** You are here to pitch the room or recruit for an MLM. **Details** * Second Monday of every month * 12:00 to 1:30 PM * Good Cafe Easton, 4400 Easton Commons, Ste 150, Columbus, OH 43219 * Order lunch and drinks at the counter when you arrive * Free to attend, RSVP required, space is limited **About the host** Rita Suzanne is a local marketing strategist and the founder of Local Marketing Method.

Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you! **What to Expect at the Intro Circle** \~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~ Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup: * Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics Round 1 - (7 secs max): * Your name * What you're working on * What you can help others with Round 2: * Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too. Round 3: * Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool. After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!
