Shinrin-yoku: Silent Forest Walk (Fontainebleau)
Shinrin-yoku: Silent Forest Walk (Fontainebleau)
**Update 🌿** Due to the rainy weather forecast for Sunday in Fontainebleau, I’ve decided to move the walk to **Saturday, May 2nd.** As well as due to train maintenance during the long holiday, we’ll need to slightly adjust our route. We’ll meet at Saint-Michel–Notre-Dame, then take a train to Juvisy, transfer to another train to Fontainebleau, and finally take a bus to the forest. It might take a bit longer than expected — sorry, I just found out about this. I’ve already reached out to everyone who signed up and I’m currently waiting for your response. 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 🌿**

Hatha Yoga in Kolo Community Space - Build Strength & Awareness (Paris 20)
Hatha Yoga in Kolo Community Space - Build Strength & Awareness (Paris 20)
### 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.

Deep Talk / In English
Deep Talk / In English
đŸ©đŸ° Let's have a weekly deep talk in an intimate Parisian cafĂ©, share a drink and have a good time with like-minded, lovely and chill people. đŸ„‚â˜• 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. ● đŸ€« 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 !!! đŸ€—

Expérience Eye-Contact
Expérience Eye-Contact
L'Ă©vĂ©nement **Eye-contact** vise principalement Ă  amĂ©liorer les compĂ©tences en communication non verbale des participants. Voici les objectifs principaux de cet Ă©vĂ©nement : * **Renforcer la communication** : Apprendre Ă  Ă©tablir un contact visuel efficace pour capter l'attention et renforcer le message transmis lors des Ă©changes. * **Susciter l'empathie** : Utiliser le regard pour Ă©tablir un lien Ă©motionnel avec les interlocuteurs, favorisant ainsi une meilleure comprĂ©hension mutuelle. * **Gagner la confiance** : DĂ©velopper la capacitĂ© Ă  maintenir le contact visuel, ce qui inspire confiance et crĂ©dibilitĂ© auprĂšs de l'auditoire. * **Surmonter la timiditĂ©** : Aider les participants Ă  dĂ©passer leur peur du jugement en pratiquant le contact visuel dans des environnements rassurants. * **AmĂ©liorer la mĂ©morisation** : Favoriser une meilleure rĂ©tention des informations Ă©changĂ©es grĂące Ă  un contact visuel soutenu. Cet Ă©vĂ©nement est donc conçu pour offrir aux participants des outils pratiques et des exercices qui leur permettront de maĂźtriser cette technique de communication essentielle. **L'experience *:*** *L'un en face de l'autre, aucun des deux ne conversant ni ne s'efforçant de se rendre intĂ©ressant.* S'asseoir et se regarder, sans qu'on ne dise ni ne fasse quoi que ce soit. Ni parler, ni s'agiter, ni rire nerveusement ni ĂȘtre embarrassĂ©. On s'apercevra que l'on a tendance Ă  confronter avec une partie du corps plutĂŽt qu'Ă  confronter seulement, ou Ă  utiliser un systĂšme de confrontation plutĂŽt qu'Ă  **ĂȘtre simplement lĂ **. Le nom de cet exercice serait incorrect si confronter signifiait faire quelque chose. **Toute l'action consiste Ă  habituer Ă  ĂȘtre lĂ **, Ă  un mĂštre en face d'un autre, sans s'excuser ni bouger, ni sursauter ni se dĂ©fendre. Le fait de confronter avec une partie du corps peut provoquer des somatiques dans la partie du corps dont on se sert pour confronter. **La solution est simplement de confronter et d'ĂȘtre lĂ .** Simplement ĂȘtre lĂ  et confronter, et on atteint un gain majeur stable.

Duty vs. Results: What Makes an Action Moral?
Duty vs. Results: What Makes an Action Moral?
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?

Slate Run Metro Park and Living Historical Farm
Slate Run Metro Park and Living Historical Farm
**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.**

Our meditations guide others to actually experience that energy! xoxo We don't just talk about peace, love and affection, we experience it :) Also we are a home not a business, so we enjoy building community one friend at a time. We always build in time for people to mingle & develop friendships! xoxo Much Love, Frank Tennyson Namaste, Frank Tennyson http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/a/f/9/9/600_447824953.jpeg
