**Ahoy there,** Next full moon picnic will be Friday**, May 1 from 8:30 - 10:30 P.M.** Moonrise will be around 9:45 P.M. May is known by American Indians for the Full Flower Moon because of the wide appearance of flowers during this month. It's also known as Full Corn Planting Moon (for obvious reasons) and as the Milk Moon (for reasons unknown to me, but ones you're invited to research or invent). **WHAT**: Everyone brings food and drink to share. **WHERE**: Pont des Arts. We'll gather around the 2nd or 3rd bench from the Left Bank side of the bridge. Nearest metros: Pont Neuf and Louvre-Rivoli. **WHEN**: Friday**,** May 1 from 8:30-10:30 P.M. **WHY**: Share one of the most memorable sights in Paris with some of the nicest people around. **WHO**: You and your friends. **THEME**: May Day. 🌿 or depending on world news MAY DAY! MAY DAY! MAY DAY! 🔥 **BIRTHDAYS**: Bully for you if you’re a Taurus? Bring a cake and let me know so we can celebrate your birthday this month and blow out the world’s largest birthday candle. **HOW** to find us: Keep your eyes out for a bunch of lunatics eating, drinking an chatting in English and French. Look for a small white telescope, weather permitting. **DISCUSSION QUESTION**: What did we learn from Artemis II voyage around the moon? **DISCUSSION ANSWER**: We learned a lot about the moon and its craters on the far side (not the dark side. There is no dark side, just the earth side and the other side. Each side is in sunlight half the time. I think.) We learned that meteors impact the surface of the moon every few minutes, creating impact flashes visible during darkness. There is no atmosphere to burn them up as on Earth. Most of what we learned came from taking photos, 10,000 of them. We learned that the most emotionally striking photo was "Earth-set” from an iPhone rather than from a much more expensive camera. We learned the Artemis II is an impressive spaceship. But possibly the most profound thing we learned was about the other spaceship - Earth I. There is no Earth II (sorry moon). There is no Planet B. We are all on a fragile blue marble hurtling through a big black dark lonely void of space, protected by an atmosphere as thin as the skin of an apple if Earth were shrunk to that size. How amazing that this little blue marble is covered with mountains and rivers and oceans teeming with all manner of life. From space the astronauts saw beautiful patterns of land, water and clouds, but didn’t see any national boundaries, nor feel any bombs nor hear any disputes created by solely by humans who sometimes forget they have everything they need to enjoy an incredibly rich existence with beauty, culture, knowledge and pickleball. Maybe we need to send everybody on a trip into deep space and anybody who still can’t appreciate the miracle of our place in the universe like those astronauts did, well just leave them there.

Merci ! ————————————————————————————— **About** A guided quiet walk in the Fontainebleau forest, inspired by Shinrin-yoku (forest bathing). A space to slow down, disconnect from the city, and reconnect with nature and yourself. ### **Format** – Small group – A gentle, mindful **hike** in the forest – We walk mostly in silence, to fully experience the surroundings – Occasional pauses to breathe and take it in – Time to connect and share during a picnic ### **Schedule** – Meet at Gare de Lyon – \~45 min train to Fontainebleau – Bus ride to grab something for a picnic – Begin a gentle, mindful hike in the forest (\~1 hour) – Pause for a picnic, relax, and connect – A slow walk back through the forest – Return to Paris by train **Purpose** To create a calm, grounding experience away from the fast pace of daily life. To bring more presence, clarity, and simple human connection. **Who it’s for** – Anyone who feels the need to slow down – Nature lovers – Curious minds open to a different kind of experience **No special preparation needed - just come as you are 🌿**

🍩🍰 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 !!! 🤗

### Reconnect gently with your body and breath. This session is an invitation to slow down and come back to your body in a simple and accessible way. Many of us feel disconnected or unsure where to start - especially if yoga feels difficult or intimidating. This class is designed to be the opposite of that. We move slowly, with guidance and awareness, allowing you to explore movement, breath, and sensation at your own pace. No pressure, no performance, just a space to reconnect. ## ✨ What we’ll explore together * A guided Hatha yoga practice open to all levels * Different variations offered so you can adapt the practice * Building strength and improving mobility * Working with breath to support movement * Finishing with a moment to reset and integrate ## 🌿 This class is for you if * you want a balanced practice combining movement and breath * you’re new to yoga or returning after a break * you’re looking for a class that is guided but adaptable * you want to feel more connected to how your body moves * you need a break from the pace of daily life ## 🌿 About me My yoga journey started in 2017, when I began exploring yoga beyond just physical training. In 2023, I completed my **200-hour Hatha Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh, India**, and continued studying anatomy and biomechanics to better understand how the body moves. I guide classes with a focus on clear structure, attention to breath, and offering variations so each person can adapt the practice to their own level. ## 📍 Practical info * Location: Kolo Community Space, 75020 Paris * Duration: 1h15 * Please bring your own yoga mat * Comfortable clothing recommended * Open to all levels If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact me - I’ll be happy to answer.

A dispo sur place: tapis, blocs, sangles, bolsters, couvertures See you there, Claire ♥ ★ Le yoga Vinyasa c'est quoi? Vinyasa est un terme Sanskrit qui signifie synchronisation du mouvement sur la respiration. Il est composé de deux racines : « nyasa » qui signifie « placer » et « vi » qui signifie « d'une manière spécifique ». On définit donc le yoga Vinyasa comme un enchaînement de mouvements dynamiques, initié et harmonisé par la respiration. Le yoga vinyasa est issu du yoga Ashtanga, qui lui consiste à exécuter une série de postures dans un ordre bien précis. À la différence de l'Ashtanga, le yoga Vinyasa est plus libre et créatif : il n'impose aucune série de mesures. Les enchaînements sont le fruit de l'expérience acquise par l'enseignant et sont adaptables aux besoins de chacun. **\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-** **INFOS PRATIQUES** **\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-** ★ ADRESSE : 17 rue de La Fontaine Au Roi 75011 Paris // Métro République (5 minutes), Parmentier (5 min) ou Goncourt (5 minutes) ★ Ouverture des portes 11h40 ***(! ne pas entrer avant il y a un cours)*** \- Début du cours 11h45 \- Merci d'arriver à l'heure\. ★ Tarifs: Cours d’essai: 17,50 euros // Cours à l’unité: 20 euros // Carte 4 cours : 74 euros (valable 2 mois) // Carte 10 cours : 175 euros (valable 4 mois) // Carte 20 cours : 330 euros (valable 6 mois) ★ Réservations et annulations: Pour faciliter l'organisation et pour laisser la place aux élèves en liste d'attente, l'annulation d'un cours doit se faire au plus tôt et au moins 24h00 à l'avance, dans le cas contraire, le cours sera considéré comme dû et non remboursable.

Main Library, Meeting Room 2B Join us for a welcoming evening of reflection, gentle music, and meaningful conversation. We’ll begin with a short grounding moment, followed by a brief reading from spiritual or philosophical traditions, and an open reflection circle where participants can share (or simply listen). Libera Animae is an interfaith community focused on inner growth, creativity, and authentic connection. All backgrounds are welcome.

Join Neurospicy Columbus at the Stauff's for coffee and then a stroll through the Book Loft nearby! This will be a friendly chat for like minded individuals with Autism and/or ADHD (or somewhere on the Neurodiverse Spectra).

When judging morality, should we prioritize **intentions/duty** or **outcomes/results**? It introduces two influential philosophers as representatives of these approaches. * **Immanuel Kant (deontology):** An action is moral when it is done from **duty** and follows rational, universal principles (the **categorical imperative**). Certain acts—like lying—are wrong regardless of the consequences; you can’t do a wrong thing for a right reason. * **John Stuart Mill (utilitarian consequentialism):** The morality of an action is determined by its **effects**, specifically how much **happiness/well-being** it produces. Mill argues that some pleasures are “higher” than others, and that good intentions don’t redeem harmful outcomes. ## Discussion Questions 1. **The lying dilemma:** A murderer comes to your door and asks if your friend is hiding inside. Kant would say you must not lie. 2. **Can good intentions rescue a bad outcome?** 3. **The organ harvest problem:** A surgeon has five patients dying of organ failure and one healthy patient in for a checkup. Killing the one to harvest organs would save five lives, and the math works out for the utilitarian. Why does this feel so deeply wrong? Is that feeling a point in Kant's favor, or just a bias we should overcome? 4. **Do rules need exceptions?** Kant insists moral rules must be universal, with no exceptions. But most of us can imagine extreme scenarios where any rule seems like it should bend. Does the need for exceptions fatally undermine deontology, or is the strength of the system precisely that it refuses to bend? 5. **Who gets to calculate the consequences?** Utilitarianism asks us to maximize good outcomes, but we're notoriously bad at predicting consequences. If we can't reliably know the results of our actions, is it practical to base our entire moral system on outcomes? Does this uncertainty push us back toward rules and principles? 6. **Everyday morality:** Think about a real moral decision you've made recently, even a small one. Did you reason more like a Kantian (what's the right thing to do in principle?) or more like a utilitarian (what will produce the best result?)? Do most people naturally lean one way? 7. **Justice vs. the greater good:** A town can prevent a deadly plague by sacrificing one innocent person. The greater good is clearly served. But is it just? Can an action be morally right and deeply unjust at the same time? 8. **The big synthesis question:** Are these two systems actually opposed, or do they often arrive at the same answers by different paths? Is it possible that we need both: rules to guide us in the moment and consequences to evaluate systems and policies over time?

Let's catch up and have a relaxed chat, including chat about the book Disability Visibility. This collection of essays is available at the library. You'll be invited to share the essay that you related to the most, and the essay that did the most to grow your awareness of something new. It's OK if you don't read the whole book!

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

**Hike Slate Run Metro Park and visit the Living Historical Farm. We will aim for 3.5 to 4 miles of hiking and then do a quick pass through the Living Historical Farm. From there those who are interested can join for lunch at Brewdog, 96 Gender Way, Canal Winchester, just 11 minutes away.** **If you’d like to spend more time at the Farm plan on arriving early (they open at 9).** **Living Historical Farm: Time has been turned back to the 1880s at Slate Run Living Historical Farm. Experience first-hand what life was like on a 19th-century Ohio farm. As you stroll through the gardens, barns and farmhouse, you will see the farm’s costumed staff and volunteers going about their daily chores. Pigs, geese, turkeys, Percheron horses and other heirloom animals can be seen.** **The gothic revival farmhouse was built in 1856 and restored by Metro Parks for authenticity. Visitors can tour the living room, parlor and kitchen and watch the farm ladies prepare meals on a woodburning stove and tend the house. The multi-bay barn was built by Samuel Oman, the fourth owner of Slate Run Farm, and restored by Amish carpenters.** **Allow at least three hours and maybe more if you're joining for lunch.** **Pace is 17-18 minute miles with no one left behind. Faster walkers are free to lead - I'll have the route well defined - and we can meet up at the farm.** **This is the fourth of the metro parks.**

We are excited to host Guided Meditations on Sundays at 6 pm in our Ashram/Gallery/Home! !! !! Everyone wants to know what kind of God we worship and what kind of meditation we do.
