Presque entièrement filmé à bord d’un taxi sillonnant les rues de Téhéran, Taxi suit Jafar Panahi — alors interdit de tournage — qui se met en scène en chauffeur improvisé. Une caméra dissimulée sur le tableau de bord capte les visages et les voix d’une société iranienne plurielle qui défile au fil des trajets. Entre humour, confidences et échanges spontanés, le film compose un portrait à la fois intime et lucide de l’Iran contemporain, où chaque rencontre révèle, en creux, les tensions, les contradictions et la force silencieuse de celles et ceux qui continuent d’avancer. À découvrir lundi prochain. 🗓️ LUNDI 9 MARS de 19H à 21H30 📍 58 rue Richer 75009 Paris 🔴 entrée = 1 boisson 🌐 visit www.thedissidentclub.org for more information

Après une introduction au qi gong (dao yin) nous pratiquerons une méditation guidé. Renseignements et inscriptions : tempsducorps.org

Les prochaines élections municipales auront lieu le 15 et le 22 mars prochain. Ces élections qui ont lieu tous les 6 ans sont un thermomètre important de la vie politique à un an des élections présidentielle. Mais finalement, quelles sont les décisions que doit prendre le conseil municipal avec ses compromis ? Privilégier les aspects écologiques ou sociaux… C’est ce que je vous propose d’expérimenter lors de ce petit jeu de plateau ! Mettez-vous dans la peau d’un conseil municipal et prenez les meilleures décisions pour satisfaire vos citoyens ! La soirée débute à 19h avec une animation d’une durée de 1h30.

### Vivez l'Harmonie avec le Monde On nous dit souvent que la spiritualité consiste à s’isoler ou à regarder à l’intérieur de soi. Chez Spiritech, nous savons que l’inverse est applicable : **l’harmonie naît de notre capacité à vibrer avec ce qui nous entoure.** Rejoignez-nous pour une session inédite : "Vivre l'Harmonie Spirituelle". L'objectif ? Ne plus faire "bulle", mais devenir un conducteur d'énergies positives. Apprenez à capter la beauté, la fréquence et l'élan de votre environnement pour ne plus jamais vous sentir seul ou déconnecté. Fini l'introversion : On ne ferme pas les yeux pour s'oublier, on les ouvre pour tout embrasser. ### Pourquoi participer ? * Connexion Totale : Apprenez à percevoir les liens invisibles qui vous unissent aux autres et à la nature. * Éveil Sensoriel : Développez votre présence pour mieux "lire" l'énergie d'un lieu ou d'une rencontre. * Harmonie Active : Ne fuyez plus le monde, apprenez à danser avec lui. * Résultat : Une sensation d'appartenance immédiate et une énergie démultipliée par votre environnement. ***La vraie spiritualité n'est pas une retraite, c'est une résonance avec le tout.***

**Google Analytics Alternatives** Is it finally time to make the switch away from Google Analytics? Two-and-a-half years ago Jason Packer asked this question at Columbus Web Analytics Wednesday. Since then: Google’s Universal Analytics has been sunset, we’ve changed our name to Columbus Data & Analytics Wednesday, and Jason has released two editions of his book “Google Analytics Alternatives”. Fresh off the release of the 2nd edition of his book, we thought it was time to re-open this conversation. While people love to complain about it, GA’s market share has remained relatively constant (at least in the United States). Why is that? You won’t find any complaints about GA4 in this talk, but rather an overview of what’s currently available in the market and how to frame your decision-making process. We’ll also be giving out some free copies of Jason’s book! So even if you’ve got a “GA4Lyfe” tattoo (no judgement), there’s free books to go with the free pizza and beer. Thanks to our 2026 sponsors: [Clarivoy](https://www.clarivoy.com), [What Box Consulting Group](https://www.whatboxconsultinggroup.com), [Conductrics](https://www.conductrics.com), and [Piwik PRO](https://piwik.pro) More info at [cbusdaw.com](https://cbusdaw.com)

Free at Bexley Library Adventures in Ecological Horticulture with Rebecca McMackin Wednesday, March 18 1:00pm - 2:30pm Gone are the days when a garden could be ornamental alone. We now recognize the impact that our land care practices have on the ecosystems around us, and can see the importance of encouraging biodiversity. Thankfully, we do not need to sacrifice beauty when we invite butterflies and songbirds into our gardens. Rebecca McMackin has cultivated gorgeous landscapes in the toughest environments possible: urban parks, school playgrounds, and the sidewalks of New York City. She will take lessons from her work at Brooklyn Bridge Park, the Brooklyn Museum, and decades of research to share how those of us who are fortunate enough to care for land, can do it beautifully and ecologically. Rebecca McMackin is an ecologically obsessed horticulturist and garden designer. She writes, lectures, and teaches on ecological landscape management and pollination ecology, as well as designs the rare public garden. She is currently Lead Horticulturist for the American Horticultural Society, an Associate with the Harvard Divinity School’s Thinking with Plants and Fungi Initiative, and Consulting Arboretum Curator for Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx, NY. Rebecca spent a decade as Director of Horticulture of Brooklyn Bridge Park, where she managed 85 acres of diverse parkland organically. Their research into cultivating urban biodiversity and ethical management strategies has influenced thousands of people and entire urban parks systems to adopt similar approaches. She has been published by and featured in the New York Times, Gardens Illustrated, on NPR and PBS. Her garden for the Brooklyn Museum recently won the PPA’s Award of Excellence and her TED Talk has been viewed over a million times. She holds M.Sc. from Columbia University and University of Victoria in landscape design and biology and recently completed the Loeb Fellowship at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. This program is presented in partnership with Rooted in Bexley and generously funded by the Bexley Community Foundation and Bexley Community Author Series Fund.

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. Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Our March speakers are Molly Gaines and Zack Parrish, co-organizers of the Secular Education Association: They will share their story of how a small group of Ohio parents grew into a national organization tracking released-time religious instruction and other church–state issues in public schools. The presentation will cover SEA’s early wins and hard lessons, what we’re seeing nationally right now, and how local advocates can play a meaningful role in protecting public education. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of the landscape — and practical ways to get involved. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid.
