Alternative Energy

Hello there! - We'd like to welcome you to a Free Meditation Meetup hosted by Luc & team. Topic: Free Meditation Time: 07:30 PM Every week on Friday Location: La Source 20-22 Rue Sébastien Mercier Paris 75015 Commute information: M° Javel-Citroën or station RER C Javel. Bilingual possible: French/ English This is a very simple, effortless, and spontaneous meditation technique also known as Sahaja Yoga. Sahaja meaning spontaneous and Yoga meaning union with one’s true self. Through meditation we connect to our true self and feel the peace within. This happens when we reach a state of thoughtless awareness and go beyond our mind and thoughts. Across the globe, many are seeking new sources of energy. In fact, the most transformative energy of all is hiding in plain sight, within us. It's natural, sustainable, and renewable. This energy is called Kundalini which helps us restore our balance and harmony within ourselves. It works spontaneously and effortlessly. This is a simple time-honored meditation technique that lets you tap into that energy and harness its power to become more balanced, better manage stress, and better connected to yourself - emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually. Sahaja Yoga has many layers, varied and deep. Explore at your own pace, in your own way. Every last Friday of the month there is a music session where we invite musicians professional or amateur to play. We can sing all together and enjoy a beautiful meditative state through music's vibration. All the sessions are free and everyone is cordially invited. We normally sit on chairs. There is no need for mats and no special clothing is required. See you soon!

The week feels endless and you can’t see the finish line? Friday blues hitting you hard? Come take a break with us and shake off the gloom of everyday life! **On the program:** chatting over a drink 🍹 – or two – to get to know each other, social games… And if you want to practice your English (or any other language), don’t hesitate! Many internationals will be there, since we also meet to encourage cultural and language exchanges. An icebreaker game 🧊 is suggested to meet more people – just ask the organizer. We’ll be a big group, often more than fifty people, so the idea is to talk to everyone – that’s the Friday concept, with the app :) Tall, short, slim, curvy, old, young, beautiful, not-so-beautiful – come as you are, we’ll welcome you with open arms. Two key words: friendliness and curiosity. Come at the time that suits you, but the earlier you arrive, the more you enjoy the vibe! **Practical info:** 🕖 From 9pm until late into the night 💸 Free with the Socializus pass! 📲 WhatsApp for quick info: [https://chat.whatsapp.com/ITesisMThOFAyNRUJ6uECN](https://chat.whatsapp.com/ITesisMThOFAyNRUJ6uECN) **How to join:** * 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 here: [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/afterwork-paris/) 🔹 WhatsApp (info & reminders): [https://chat.whatsapp.com/ITesisMThOFAyNRUJ6uECN](https://chat.whatsapp.com/ITesisMThOFAyNRUJ6uECN) (Turn on “Receive all” so you don’t miss anything!) 🔹 Facebook Group – [https://www.facebook.com/socializing.with.internationals.in.Paris/](https://www.facebook.com/socializing.with.internationals.in.Paris/) 🔹 Facebook Page – Photos, memories & updates: [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) Join the volunteer team and get a free drink 🍹 It’s 100% free because we are a non-profit association. ✦✦ Last-minute changes may happen, but everything is updated via the app with the free pass.

OSEZ l'improvisation théâtrale avec Malika Kissmell 👑 ! Scène ouverte & Atelier au Moxy Bastille Samedi 11 janvier de 15h à 18h (si vous avez du retard, merci de me prévenir et vous pouvez partir avant la fin, si besoin) 🎁⭐ Participation de 10€ (en espèces uniquement) + une conso pour le café qui nous reçoit. Improvisateurs tous niveaux Scène ouverte et atelier improvisation théâtrale pour tous 🎭🎤 ! Que vous soyez spectateurs ou improvisateurs débutants, confirmés ou entre les deux 😉 ou même si vous n'avez jamais participé ou vu de l'improvisation théâtrale, vous êtes au bon endroit pour passer un bon moment 👑. Vous pouvez participer avec les autres ou simplement assister au show 😁. Fous rires garantis ! Le principe de l'improvisation théâtrale est de faire place à notre imaginaire pour laisser sortir notre créateur intérieur ; celui qui sait créer et imaginer des histoires et des situations sans filtre. Si tu as envie de faire des choses que tu n'oses pas faire dans la vie, ou juste faire appel à ta créativité, sortir de ta zone de confort, cet événement est fait pour toi. Tu pourras également incarner différents personnages. 🎭🥷 Il s'agit de s'amuser tout en gagnant en aisance, en confiance en soi et en laissant sa rationalité et son cerveau au vestiaire. 🧞 Des clefs et des indications vous seront données pour réaliser des scènettes, des situations... après un échauffement ludique collectif (pour les personnes qui souhaitent participer 🙃). Si vous avez des questions, n'hésitez pas. Alors, à samedi à partir de 14h45 ✌️ La scène ouverte et atelier demandant une certaine préparation, merci d'éviter la désinscription de dernière minute.

Vous avez un business en ligne ? Un site internet ? Une boutique shopify ? Des produits sur Amazon ? Ou sinon, vous avez une idée, un projet ? Venez alors nous rejoindre pour 4 heures de "Deep Work" dans le café de la péniche Annette K. Le Deep Work repose sur l'élimination (ou, à défaut, la réduction) des tâches qui ne sont pas essentielles pour rester concentré sur ce qui est important. Sachez que nous ne pouvons pas être au maximum de notre efficacité pendant plus de 3 ou 4 heures par jour! Nous travaillerons sur un nombre de séances définies ⏰ 💻 (50min, 45min, 40min, 35min, 30min, 40min): Total = 4 heures; avec des petites pauses de 10min entre les séances Pendant les pauses, nous nous échangerons sur principaux défis de l'entrepreneuriat, les challenges de chacun, comment les surmonter, comment vendre plus, comment scaler son business, etc. À bientôt! \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- Do you have an online business? A website ? A Shopify store? Products on Amazon? Or simply an idea, a project that you'd like to work on? Then come and join us for 4 hours of "Deep Work" at the coffee shop of the boat Annette K. Deep Work relies on eliminating (or failing that, reducing) non-essential tasks to stay focused on what's important. Keep in mind that we cannot be at our maximum efficiency for more than 3 or 4 hours a day! During the breaks, we will discuss the challenges of entrepreneurship, the challenges that each one of us is facing, how to overcome them, how to sell more, how to scale your business, etc. See you soon!

**This is a paid program.** **Click <<[here](https://online.innerengineering.com/en/program-details/bhuta-shuddhi-cityprogram-staybridge-suites-columbus-university-area-ohio-us-jan-16-2026)\>\> to register\.** ### **Bhuta Shuddhi means “purification of the five elements” (i.e. earth, water, fire, air and space) which gets to the root of imbalances in the body that lead to disease. This simple practice which you can do daily reorganizes your system on the elemental level.** **Benefits:** * **Keeps the system in harmony and balance** * **Prepares the system to handle powerful states of energy** * **Creates the basis to gain complete mastery over the human system** **For ages 14 and above, no prior knowledge of yoga is required.** **This program is conducted by a Hatha Yoga teacher trained by Sadhguru.**

First attempt at this. If it's good, we'll do it again. If it sucks, we tried. (Event photo is from a recent trip to Flagstaff. Stock photos of fake people drinking coffee are the worst.) **Why I'm doing this:** You're the average of the people you spend the most time with. Running a business solo means I've been spending most of my time with myself. And AI tools, which are great for thinking through business problems, but terrible for actual human connection. I want to raise that average. Looking for people who want real conversations. Not networking, not pitches, just the kind of talk that makes you think differently about what you're building and why. If we all end up making a few friends along the way, even better. **What to expect:** Coffee. Conversation. No pitches, no elevator speeches, no going around the table introducing ourselves like it's a corporate icebreaker. Just show up and talk like a normal human. **Ground rules:** * No pitching your business * No recruiting * No MLM talk * No hustle porn **RSVP cap:** 6 people max so it doesn't turn into a crowd. **Location:** Transcend Coffee & Roastery in Grove City **Time:** Friday, January 16th at 11 AM. See you there!

Sleep in on Sundays. When you've had your fill of pajama-time, roll out and have some tasty brunch with your fellow Humanists!
