Hello 👋, Tu as envie de débuter le running ou t'y remettre mais tu n'as pas envie de le faire seul(e) ? 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️ J'ai LA solution 👉 viens courir avec nous lors des sorties hebdomadaires du groupe Adidas Runners Paris Centre tous les mardis soirs. Il y en a pour tous les niveaux (du débutant - vraiment - à la cool jusqu'aux confirmés avec des allures de TGV 😉), c'est gratuit et l'ambiance y est très conviviale, y compris à l'after run. Rdv à 20h tous les mardis soirs au Central Park Paris au 5 rue du Jour, Paris 1er. Tu pourras te changer sur place (pas de vestiaire mais un étage entier nous est réservé) et y laisser un sac (même s'il n'y a jamais eu de souci, je conseille de ne rien laisser de valeur sur place car il n'y a pas de casier). Après le run, de l'eau est fournie par le bar... mais vous pouvez aussi commander d'autres brevages 🍻😉 Alors n'hésite pas à nous rejoindre. Si tu as des questions, n'hésite pas à me contacter. 👉 POUR T'INSCRIRE 👉 * clique sur "Participer" * ou inscris toi sur l'app gratuite de rencontres amicales WEEZEM où sont publiées toutes les sorties du groupe (tu pourras aussi voir plein d'autres sorties et garder le lien avec les participants inscrits hors Meetup) : Appstore -> [https://apps.apple.com/fr/app/weezem/id1547233803](https://apps.apple.com/fr/app/weezem/id1547233803) et Google Play -> [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.weezemapp](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.weezemapp) * Tu peux aussi t'inscrire au groupe Whatsapp Weezem ici pour être informé(e) de nos futures sorties 👉 [https://chat.whatsapp.com/BoYNpq9JUyFB6RbIIDjblC](https://chat.whatsapp.com/BoYNpq9JUyFB6RbIIDjblC) \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* A LIRE ATTENTIVEMENT \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* ⚠️ Ne te fie pas au nombre de participants inscrits sur Meetup, nous sommes généralement une dizaine d'inscrits hors Meetup (voire même plus) car cette sortie est également publiée sur l'appli gratuite de rencontres amicales Weezem.

🌸 Chaque mardi, nous organisons une soirée durant laquelle nous pratiquons la méditation nommée Shamatha-Vipashyana, que beaucoup connaissent aujourd’hui sous le nom de Mindfulness. Une première partie est composée d’un temps de méditation de 40 minutes, puis, après un temps de pause, la deuxième partie est dédiée à un enseignement portant sur la méditation, la tradition bouddhique, l’art et la poésie modernes, l’écologie…. Un temps de partage et de questions/réponses clôture la soirée. Les sessions commencent à 20h30 (mais nous conseillons d'arriver à 20h25 afin de prendre le temps de s'installer). La première séance est gratuite, puis vous avez la possibilité de profiter d'un temps d'essai avant de choisir de vous engager ou non de manière plus approfondie. N'hésitez pas à visiter notre site pour en savoir plus sur nos propositions: [www.gandharameditation.org](www.gandharameditation.org) Les détails pour nous rejoindre seront fournis après inscription. 🌿🧘‍♀️ A bientôt! 🧘‍♂️🌿

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games! The idea behind improv is to create entire scenes from scratch based on a suggestion from the audience. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway*, *ComedySportz*, or *Wild 'n Out*; it could also be done to tell stories, like *Middleditch and Schwartz*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!

Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor. BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it “a sure-fired crowd-pleaser” that “just might be the feel-good hit of the year!” Others say, “Paul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmer” that’s both “hilarious and deeply moving." The film continues John Carney’s “long run of success with yet another charmer” and “a sharp, hopeful crowd-pleaser that strikes the right notes!” SUMMER OF ICE CREAM, VOL 2: SHAKE NO. 8!
