Practical Philosophy Meetup - Paris đŸ‡«đŸ‡·
Practical Philosophy Meetup - Paris đŸ‡«đŸ‡·
Bonjour Ă  tous.tes ! Je m'appelle Emma, je suis l'organisatrice Practical Philosophy Paris :) Practical Philosophy est un mouvement nĂ© au Mexique et qui est prĂ©sent partout dans le monde aujourd'hui. J'ai dĂ©couvert Practical Philosophy au Canada et j'ai tellement aimĂ© que j'ai dĂ©cidĂ© de l'importer Ă  Paris (il y a aussi une branche Ă  Lyon si vous n'ĂȘtes pas de la rĂ©gion). **đŸ›ïž C’EST QUOI, LA PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY ?** Practical philosophy, c’est un rendez-vous hebdomadaire oĂč des esprits curieux se retrouvent pour creuser un sujet, affĂ»ter leur façon de s’exprimer et tisser des liens. Pas besoin d’ĂȘtre un pro de la philo pour participer, tout le monde est le bienvenu ! 😎 L’idĂ©e, c’est que la philosophie, ce n’est pas juste pour les profs d’universitĂ©. Chaque semaine, on choisit un thĂšme et on en discute pour aiguiser notre esprit critique et nos talents de communicants. C'est aussi une maniĂšre d'apprendre Ă  mieux se connaĂźtre soi-mĂȘme, en affirmant et argmumentant ce qu'on pense rĂ©ellement. Bref, on bosse sur trois piliers : **PensĂ©e Critique**, **Communication** et **CommunautĂ©** 🙌. **📓 COMMENT ÇA MARCHE ?** Chaque semaine, on se focalise sur un sujet qu’on dĂ©cortique ensemble. Le thĂšme est annoncĂ©, souvent via le [groupe WhatsApp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/G3By4PVqhqdKuQbMTs1rwo)[ ](https://chat.whatsapp.com/G3By4PVqhqdKuQbMTs1rwo?mode=gi_t) quelques pistes pour lancer les Ă©changes. Les thĂšmes sont trĂšs variĂ©s et toutes les suggestions sont prises en compte (la beautĂ©, la richesse, la loyautĂ©...) Quand on est plus de 7 ou 8, on se divise en petits groupes pour garder une ambiance fluide et Ă©viter que ça ressemble Ă  une confĂ©rence. **DĂ©roulĂ© type d’une soirĂ©e** Voici comment se passe une rencontre : ***19h00-19h15 **: On arrive, on papote, on fait connaissance dans une ambiance dĂ©tendue. ** *19h15-19h25 **: Petit topo pour prĂ©senter Practical philosophie le sujet du jour, les rĂšgles et le timing. *** 19h25-20h45 **: On se rĂ©partit en petits groupes, on se prĂ©sente, on partage nos premiĂšres idĂ©es sur le sujet, puis on passe Ă  une discussion libre. Des questions “d’amorce” sont lĂ  pour guider si besoin, mais rien d’obligatoire. ** *21h00-21h30 **: Tout le monde se regroupe pour faire le point. Chaque groupe partage un rĂ©sumĂ© rapide (1 minute) de ses conclusions. On termine par un mot de l’organisateur et une photo de groupe. *** AprĂšs 21h00 **: La partie officielle est finie, mais c’est le moment parfait pour prolonger les discussions autour d’un verre ou d’un cafĂ©, histoire de renforcer les liens. **🧧 COMBIEN ÇA COÛTE ?** C’est** GRATUIT **! Si on se retrouve dans un cafĂ©, on vous demande juste de prendre une conso. **💛 CE QUE LES GENS EN PENSENT** 🗣 *“Le Club de Philosophie, c’est un endroit oĂč on construit ses propres idĂ©es Ă  travers diffĂ©rents points de vue, sans qu’on nous dise ce qui est bien ou mal.”* – Ekam 🗣 *“J’ai accrochĂ© dĂšs le premier jour (le sujet Ă©tait l’autoritĂ©) et j’ai tout de suite senti que c’était ma place. C’est un espace oĂč on apprend, on dĂ©couvre de nouvelles perspectives, on booste sa pensĂ©e critique et on crĂ©e du lien avec des gens qui challengent nos idĂ©es tout en encourageant l’ouverture d’esprit.”* – Daniel **đŸ€“ FAQ** ** *Faut-il prĂ©parer ou lire quelque chose avant ?** Aucune prĂ©paration nĂ©cessaire ! On ne rĂ©vise pas les grands philosophes, on veut savoir ce que** vous **pensez. Si vous avez une idĂ©e inspirĂ©e d’une religion ou d’une Ă©cole de pensĂ©e, partagez-la, on en discutera.** *** Y a-t-il une philosophie spĂ©cifique au centre des discussions ? Non, pas de dogme ici ! On veut entendre toutes les idĂ©es, sans se limiter Ă  une Ă©cole particuliĂšre, pour muscler notre pensĂ©e critique. ** *C’est surtout des mecs qui viennent ?** Pas du tout ! Contrairement Ă  l’image de la philo dans un salon sombre, nos rencontres sont Ă©quilibrĂ©es et sans ambiance lugubre ! *** Je peux venir seul(e) ?** Oui, on encourage mĂȘme ça ! :) ** *Et si je suis en retard ?** On prĂ©fĂ©rerait que vous soyez Ă  l’heure ! On a 15 minutes de battement au dĂ©but si besoin. *** OĂč se passent les rencontres ?** Le lieu est annoncĂ© sur Meetup et dans notre [groupe Whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/G3By4PVqhqdKuQbMTs1rwo) Envoyez moi un message pour rejoindre le groupe 😊 Pour dĂ©couvrir les autres villes oĂč le Club existe, checkez notre [site web](https://www.practicalphilosophy.club/). **LE CLUB DE PHILOSOPHIE PRATIQUE – LA PHILO POUR TOUS ! ✹** On organise des rencontres hebdomadaires en prĂ©sentiel dans plus de 25 pays, comme le Canada, l’Espagne, le Japon, le Mexique et bien d’autres ! đŸ—ș **\*\*\*** **Rejoignez notre [groupe Whatsapp Paris](https://chat.whatsapp.com/G3By4PVqhqdKuQbMTs1rwo) 👈** **Suivez-nous sur [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/practicalphilosophyclub/) 👈** **Visitez notre [site web](https://www.practicalphilosophy.club/) 👈** **✹ IF YOU ARE AN ENGLISH SPEAKER YOU ARE VERY WELCOME.

Cosy Cave Conversations // 10Úme // Café philo in English
Cosy Cave Conversations // 10Úme // Café philo in English
**Step into the laid-back charm of Cosy Cave Conversations**, a Parisian philosophy chat that's more relaxed than a cat in a sunbeam 🐈 🌞 Gather with a bunch of easygoing souls, share thoughts on the good life and its mysteries, enjoy a beverage, and have a good laugh. A few things to be aware of: * **Please** **don't show up without a spot** (we aim to keep it cosy and we always have a waiting list these days — check if you’re on the list or the waiting list) * If it's your first event, it's essential you **turn up early, or at the latest on time (<7pm)** so you understand how it works, what the topic is and don't interrupt the session * The **session runs from 7pm to 8:30pm** where we focus on the discussion, but don't worry, you'll have a chance to socialise, introduce yourselves and continue the chat after the session. **If you’re running late** (the curtains are closed), that’s okay, but please wait to join us in the break rather than interrupting the session. * Please read the **tips below** for a good session before coming along **How does it work?** We embrace the cafĂ©-philo method — proposing intriguing topics on the night (up to 3), choosing one together, and diving into everything from consciousness, community, death and god, while managing to keep it light and easy 🩩 **Forget the stiff atmosphere**, we're all about small groups (\~10 people) and unpretentious chats with no homework required. No need for a philosophy degree, just bring your open mind and a dash of curiosity. **Join us every Wednesday 19h-20h30 at Les Acolytes** — because pondering the profound is better with good company (and a pint). See you there! 🎉 A few tips for a great session: * come with an **open and curious mind** 🧠 * **prioritise listening to others and asking questions** without interrupting or long monologues 👂 * we put a strong **emphasise on giving everyone a chance to contribute to the discussion**, so try and be aware of how much space and time you take up when speaking đŸ»â€â„ïž * we prioritise **intellectual accessibility**: this is not an academic group therefore we ask to keep any philosophy jargon to a minimum and instead explain any concepts in plain english đŸ€  * we are an **apolitical group** that focuses on discussing and exploring philosophical ideas without endorsing or aligning with any specific political or religous ideologies. Our aim is to encourage open, unbiased dialogue centered on philosophical inquiry within a safe and respectful environment đŸ„

Paris CafĂ© Philo – LIVE ! Monthly Meeting (in English)
Paris CafĂ© Philo – LIVE ! Monthly Meeting (in English)
This is our monthly Paris CafĂ© Philo, held in person and in English. The group has been meeting since 1997. On the first Wednesday of each month we meet at the famous **CafĂ© de Flore**, 172 Boulevard Saint-Germain, 75006 Paris – first floor. In addition, EVERY WEDNESDAY we have ONLINE meetings via ZOOM. Please check the relevant events listed on our Meetup group: [https://www.meetup.com/english-cafe-philo-in-paris/](https://www.meetup.com/english-cafe-philo-in-paris/) *** **What is a CafĂ© Philo?** Participants propose topics, we choose one together, and then discuss it in an open yet orderly way. But what counts as a topic? A topic can be a question about the meaning of life, our relationship to the world we live in, the difference between good and evil, how we distinguish truth from falsehood, reality from illusion, or beauty from its absence. There are many such deep questions that philosophers, scientists, and writers have grappled with throughout history. If you are interested in exploring these or other questions, we invite you to join our philosophical cafĂ© – a gathering where you can express your ideas, share your knowledge, and perhaps discover something new. Our discussions are serious and rigorous, yet often enjoyable. No background in philosophy or the humanities is required. If you do have one, you are of course very welcome. *** **Format** A moderator guides the discussion, ensuring that every participant has the opportunity to contribute in a welcoming environment. No one is obliged to speak. Maximum number of participants: 30. This is **not** a lecture. It is an exchange of ideas in which your questions and perspectives are genuinely valued. The tone is respectful; views that are contemptuous of human dignity will not be entertained. *** **Who Can Attend** Everyone, regardless of background or level of philosophical knowledge – from seasoned philosophers to anyone simply curious about life's big questions. *** **Cost** Participation is free. Contributions are welcome. *** Welcome! *Michael M.*

✹đŸ§ș🌳📖Poetry Picnic in a park 📖🌳đŸ§ș✹
**Welcome to the Paris Poetry Circle!** Now in its 30th year, our English-language poetry reading group continues to bring together lovers of verse and thought in the heart of Paris. 🎉 Join us this Wednesday evening for a gathering of minds and voices as we read and reflect on poems that move, challenge, and illuminate — all shared over some quiet drinks. đŸ«–â˜•ïžđŸ„€đŸ§‰đŸč We seek poems that are clear yet profound, sweet or serious — those that carry us forward and help us make sense of the world. We steer clear of the obscure or needlessly complex; we value clarity over cleverness, sincerity over show. Each poem is read anonymously to begin with, without revealing the author, allowing space for open, unbiased interpretation. We then explore it together — carefully, curiously — to uncover what lies beneath the surface. After the meeting, we write a letter of thanks to the living poets we have read at the group, to thank and congratulate them. We revere all the poets of this world. The group is small — usually six or seven thoughtful individuals, up to a maximum of ten. The conversation is warm, intelligent, and grounded. There is no performance, no pressure to contribute, and no cost. Only a shared pursuit of insight, beauty, and fellowship. If that resonates with you, we’d love to welcome you. Bring a poem, or simply bring yourself. 📚✹ **Please note this event is reserved for long time comers.**

Qu’est-ce que mes rĂȘves m’enseignent ?
Vous ĂȘtes-vous dĂ©jĂ  rĂ©veillĂ© en vous demandant : “Mais qu’est-ce que ça voulait dire ?” Et si vos rĂȘves vous guidaient vers une vĂ©ritĂ© plus profonde ? Dans le bouddhisme, les rĂȘves reflĂštent l’aspect illusoire de la rĂ©alitĂ©. En les explorant, on dĂ©couvre la vacuitĂ© — une sagesse rĂ©volutionnaire : ‱ Rien n’existe de façon autonome. ‱ Nos perceptions ne sont pas la rĂ©alitĂ©. Observer nos rĂȘves, c’est apprendre Ă  voir au-delĂ  des apparences. C’est ouvrir notre esprit Ă  une sagesse profonde, libĂ©ratrice, capable de transformer
 notre vie. Une exploration intĂ©rieure passionnante ! #### [Emploi du temps](https://meditation-paris.org/activites/quest-ce-que-mes-reves-menseignent/#7ee67625ed4dd91ce) * 14h30-15h45 : sĂ©ance 1 * 16h15-17h30 : sĂ©ance 2 Chaque sĂ©ance se compose de mĂ©ditation et d’enseignement adaptĂ©s au thĂšme du jour.

Meditation for Well-being
Meditation for Well-being
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 SĂ©bastien Mercier Paris 75015 Commute information: M° Javel-CitroĂ«n 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!

Free In-person Meeting: Unwanted Emotions & Loneliness, How to Get Over Them
Free In-person Meeting: Unwanted Emotions & Loneliness, How to Get Over Them
This is an in-person meeting. Did you know that unwanted emotions like loneliness, sadness, hopelessness, anger, fear, anxiety, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not chemical imbalance in your brain due to some nebulous chemical reactions by chance. Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. For instance, let's say you are already carrying a huge load on your back, then you cannot take on much more, but, let's say something else happens to you, such as the difficulties from the Pandemic, then the resultant combined weight on you can take you over the edge, kind of like the straw that break the camel's back. When this happens, people's attention usually goes to the straw that was added, but actually the majority of the weight had come from the huge load that were already there, holding a person down and causing a person issues. So how do you remove the huge load that was already there? How do you lighten them up? Is it possible to get rid of them? That is what this meeting will be all about. Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
Free In-Person Meeting: Healing from Trauma and Past Betrayals
Free In-Person Meeting: Healing from Trauma and Past Betrayals
This is a free, in person meeting. Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: ‱ How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. ‱ Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? ‱ Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? ‱ Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? ‱ Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? ‱ What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? ‱ How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? ‱ Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? ‱ How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? ‱ How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. We look forward to having you join us! This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
