Ready-Set-Write Lazy Sunday edition (IN-PERSON): 11:00 Start Time
Hello writers, we are happy to meet you in our new permanent home: BohĂšme Coworking, located at 21 rue Sedaine in the 11th arrondissement.
When you arrive, just tell the friendly folks at La Boheme reception that you are with the writing group. They will give you a little wooden knick-knack with the wifi codes and a number that they use to determine the cost based on time spent (it's 3,80 ⏠per hour, paid at the end).
***Now, about Ready-Set-Write! ..*.**
Ready Set Write! is a regular meeting of motivated writers who grab a beverage, then shut up and write.
***What it is:*** An opportunity for writers to get together and do short, intense bursts of writing. We write for 45-ish minutes, take a 15 minute break, rinse & repeat.
***What it is NOT:*** neither a forum for critiquing each other's work, nor shameless self-promoting your projects or groups.
You pay for the time you spend, and have access to coffee, tea, and wifi.
**AND FINALLY ...**
* Register in advance, and only if you will join us in-person.
* Update your RSVP if you cannot make it.
* Please be respectful and considerate with our writing colleagues.
***Stay tuned for location updates!***

Deep Talk / In English
đ©đ° 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. đ„â
We're here to sip life in a childish, simple and non-serious way. đ
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.
â
This group is adressed to :
â 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.
â 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 ....
â Please don't subscribe if :
â You don't see yourself in the group's aims and beliefs.
â You're travelling for a short period of time and don't live or intend to live in Paris.
â 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 :
â â 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.
â đ We keep the session small, cosy and relaxed in a quiet place, prioritising regularity to encourage intimacy, connection, listening and speaking. (\~ 5/6 people)
â đ 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.
â đ 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.
â đ (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 :
â 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.
â Ask open-ended questions and invite the other person to describe what a situation was like for them or how they felt.
â 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.
â 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.
â Listen actively and ask follow-up questions.
â Be empathetic and offer emotional validation so that they feel seen and heard.
It is forbidden to judge, but try to understand.
â â± Be aware of your speaking time for Equally Speak.
â đ€« 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.
â đš 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 !!! đ€

Conférence offerte : Le Cacao au-delà des modes. L'ouverture du coeur.
Ă une Ă©poque oĂč tout peut devenir "une tendance", revenir Ă lâessentiel nâa jamais Ă©tĂ© aussi nĂ©cessaire.
En ce moment si important dans le chemin de lâhumanitĂ©, tandis que nous traversons des temps que certains pressentent comme lâapocalypse â au sens de rĂ©vĂ©lation â, pour moi le Cacao, comme beaucoup dâautres plantes et pratiques, est lĂ comme un support, un soutien pour retrouver la conscience dâunitĂ©.
Ce que lâon appelle souvent lâouverture du cĆur.
Notre ego a pourtant tendance Ă tout rĂ©cupĂ©rer â y compris les pratiques, les chemins de quĂȘte, les plantes â pour en faire des simulacres.
Câest humain. Câest commun.
Et câest pour cela quâil devient essentiel de voir, puis de rĂ©ajuster.
Car la conscience dâunitĂ© nâest pas une petite affaire.
Et certainement pas quelque chose que lâon peut dĂ©lĂ©guer.
Ni obtenir instantanément.
Câest un chemin qui demande engagement, courage, vĂ©ritĂ©, prĂ©sence, responsabilitĂ©.
Câest ce chemin que le Cacao peut soutenir, accompagner â mais non pas dessiner pour nous.
Le Cacao nâest pas censĂ© ĂȘtre un « divertissement », comme tant de choses que lâon trouve pour nous divertir â ce qui, Ă©tymologiquement, signifie se dĂ©tourner, se diriger ailleurs.
Il nâest pas non plus destinĂ© Ă devenir un couvercle plaquant un semblant dâallĂ©gresse et de bienveillance sur ce qui demande Ă ĂȘtre rencontrĂ© et conscientisĂ©.
La vraie Joie nâest pas le fruit de lâĂ©vitement â et elle ne peut sâaccompagner de celui-ci.
Elle n'est pas conditionnelle, est inhĂ©rente au fond de lâĂȘtre : une joie capable dâinclure, et ainsi de transcender les dualitĂ©s.
Je serai heureuse de dĂ©velopper cela davantage lors dâune confĂ©rence qui approche.
ConfĂ©rence offerte â en direct
Cacao cĂ©rĂ©moniel â au-delĂ des modes, entrer dans une relation consciente
15 fĂ©vrier â 14h30
45 minutes
Nous explorerons ce que signifie rĂ©ellement sâallier au Cacao dans une approche Ă©thique, incarnĂ©e et vivante.
Et pour celles et ceux qui sentiront un appel Ă aller plus loin, je prĂ©senterai dans les 10 derniĂšres minutes la formation dâaccompagnement avec le Cacao SacrĂ© :
du 21 février au 4 avril
2 heures par semaine â Ă distance
Un espace pour entrer dans une relation consciente avec le Cacao et lâintĂ©grer dans votre chemin personnel â et, pour certains, dans votre posture dâaccompagnant.

âReplay disponible 48h.â
Avec amour,

Columbus Code & Coffee 83 @ Improving
Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you!
**What to Expect at the Intro Circle**
\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~
Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup:
* Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics
Round 1 - (7 secs max):
* Your name
* What you're working on
* What you can help others with
Round 2:
* Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too.
Round 3:
* Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool.
After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!
