### 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.***

🥐 **Philosophical Brunch — Are we loved for who we are — or for how we make others feel? (paid event)** *\*photos from previous session in french* Making friends as a child felt natural. As adults… it often feels surprisingly hard. **Philosophical Brunch** is a paid gathering where we slow down, share food, and explore together the questions that shape our lives — through thoughtful and honest conversation. This edition focuses on a question many people quietly wonder about: **Love ❤️** **Are we loved for who we are — or for how we make others feel?** When someone says *“I love you”*, what exactly are they loving? The person as they truly are… or the emotions their presence creates in us? Do we fall in love with a person, or with the way we feel when we are with them? And if much of what we perceive of others is filtered through our own needs, desires, and projections… is it ever possible to love someone purely for who they are? Through a guided philosophical discussion, we’ll explore love beyond romantic clichés — reflecting on projection, perception, emotional needs, and the subtle ways we relate to others. This is a space to think together, but also to meet people who value genuine conversation. Guiding questions will be shared in advance in a **dedicated WhatsApp group** so everyone can arrive feeling comfortable and inspired. 🌿 **What to expect** * A guided philosophical discussion in English * A small group to encourage authentic exchanges * A warm, open, and respectful atmosphere * A shared brunch moment 🥐☕ * No academic background required — curiosity is enough This is not a lecture. It’s a real conversation. ✨ *Want to get a feel for the vibe? You can see previous events on TikTok:* [https://www.tiktok.com/@reflexions_france](https://www.eventbrite.fr/e/1983316950388?aff=oddtdtcreator) 🌍 **Who is this for?** * English speakers in Paris * Expats, internationals, travelers, and curious locals * People who enjoy meaningful conversations * Anyone wondering how to create deeper connections as an adult 📍 **Practical information** 📍 Location: Paris (exact location shared after registration by email) 🗓️ Date: Saturday, January 21th ⏰ Time: 3:00 PM ⏳ Duration: approx. 2 hours 🎟️ **Price: €20 (paid event)** The participation fee covers the facilitation and the experience.

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. **Cette séance sera suivie d’une scène artistique, poétique et musicale à 16h45.** **\*\*\*** **Déroulé** * 1 heure et 30 minute d’étude de texte, reformulation, questions **Date et lieu** 📅 Date : Dimanche 15 mars à 15h 📍Lieu : Espace Le Moulin, 48 rue du fer à Moulin 75005 Paris 🎟️ Tarif : 7€ tarif unique

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.

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 !

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 !!!

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. You can meet us in-person or attend online Join Zoom Meeting [https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1](https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1) Meeting ID: 878 3656 4953 Passcode: 760812 One tap mobile +19292056099,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (New York) +13017158592,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (Washington DC) The formal presentation will start at noon

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.
