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€.

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.

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 :** **Entrée gratuite, réservation conseillée :** [https://www.eventbrite.fr/e/1981438909116?aff=oddtdtcreator](https://www.eventbrite.fr/e/1981438909116?aff=oddtdtcreator)
Cyce "Vos lectures, vos coups de coeur" - Thème : La Musique
Cyce "Vos lectures, vos coups de coeur" - Thème : La Musique
Chers tous ! Pour la séance du cycle "Vos lectures, vos coups de coeur" du mois mars 2026, le thème retenu collégialement est : **La Musique** Le principe veut que chacun lise et/ou parle d'une oeuvre liée au thème et vienne la présenter au groupe et aux participants. Tous les genres (essais, théâtre, roman, biographies...), toutes les disciplines (art, film, littérature...) ; tout ce qui vous inspire peut être matière à discussion et prétexte à échanges... 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. *Vous pouvez participer (facultatif) à hauteur de 2 euros par personne et par an, participation qui équilibre les frais de cotisations dues à Meetup.* Enfin, inscrivez-vous, je vous prie, uniquement si vous êtes sûrs de la partie. ***Votre attention je vous prie : Je me vois contrainte de désinscrire tous ceux qui sont intéressés par cette rencontre et qui étaient prévus hier. Ils n'ont pas pris la peine (malheureusement) de nous prévenir.*** ***Et ce afin de protéger le groupe et notre relation avec la brasserie.*** *Bien à vous tous, bonnes lectures aussi et à bientôt !* Jélila PS : A l'attention des nouveaux membres/nouveaux inscrits : Répondez, je vous prie, à ma demande de confirmation de participation par messagerie directe.

Deep Talk / In English
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)
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.
